the project of ks ki dimmer for suppressing for ever the liberty of
the press. the Warne of taxes, the diminution of the fourth of the
electors, the protection granted to the Jesuits, the establishment
and increase of Monastic houses, and the destruction of the
National Guard of Paris.
Such was the rapidity with which the counter revolutionary
faction proceeded towards the establishment of the ancient riginte,
and to the subversion of our social order, that a Chamber chosen
under its lelluence, and to the most disastrous circumstances. was it-
self alarmed t and the opposition which at first consisted of only one
and thirty Members, gradually rose to one hundred and seventy.
It then became necessary to dissolve that Chamber, to ril it of
those instruments that bad become intractable ; and to replace
them by men determined to uphold counter-revolutionary mea-
sures : but the energy and vigilance of the thews defeated these
designs; "the deplorable Adaduktration" fell; and perished in
blood—and in the dust.
Nevertheless, the counter-revolutionary faction has Dot yet lost
courage; no sooner bad a weak Minister obtained the direction of
affairs, than the faction once more strides forward, and seises upon
power—or. more properly speaking, places it in the bands of its own
most energetic, but least scrupulous leaders. Their creatures,
seeing at the bead of the Administration such men as Booanovesys,
NorshosT, Pothisse, and Monsac, have fancied that the time
was come for carrying the counter-revolution by open force
and we have seen their Manifesto, signed " Corn." The;
more politic part. however, have deemed it more prudent to pur-
sue the same end by Constitutional means; and wish, by the
Chambers, to effect the counter-revolution, and to prevent
the establishment of the Represeotative Government ; but
as the actual Chamber would not lend Itself to that design, it
was necessary to dissolve h. and form another. If that by which
it is succeeded. should prove more submseive, the faction will co-
vertly resume the system of the .4 deplorable administration.;" if
otherwise, they will adopt energetic means in conformity with the
plan of M. Conan. Such is the declaration which the Goodie de
Avow has just promulgated.

And this brags as back to our first question : shall the Repre-
sentative Government be to us a reality, or a mere &Whin? Shall
it be our safeguard, or shall it be the mask beneath which absolute
power conceals itself P—For Sheen years we ought to have pos.

THE KING.

Despatches were received at the Foreign Office, on

Private letters from Constantinople of the 14th Oct.
state that the Grand Vizier, who is still at Shumla, has
refused to give up the seals of the empire, declaring that
he has served the Government and his country most
faithfully, and the Sultan dare not appoint another_pszson
in his place. Every thing announces that the Turkish
Empire is on the point of some great event.
The following story (which we have no doubt is either
without foundation, or very much exaggerated) has been
current in fashionable life for the last few days. An il-
lustrious personage, who resides not many miles from
Windsor, having received a visit from a fair friend, once
the ornament of the London stage, intrusted her on her
way to town to the guardianship of a noble earl, a dis-
tinguished patron of the drama ; on their arrival at Salt
Hill, the noble lord, overcome by the charms of
his fair companion, is stated to have made some
advances, which were unfavourably received, and
it is even said that the lady threw a glass of
wine in the >obis. Lord's face. According also to re-
port, the lady immediately ordered a post-chaise, in
which she returned to —, and apprised the illustrious
personage of the presumptuous conduct of the nobleman
to whose care he entrusted her. This account is stated
to have excited the indignation of to such a degree,
as to induce him to forbid the noble earl his presence,
until he should be pleased to alter his determination.
Court Journal —lf the lady above alluded to is the lady
we conjecture, she must, from her recent grand associa-
tions, have become very nice—as we can recollect the
time when " but very few of the Horse Guards Blue"
would have been treated as my Lord is represented
to have been.—Ed. News.

The obstinacy (natural to the bigoted Bourbons) with
which the King of France has hitherto supported his
Ultra Ministry, threatens, if persisted in, to produce a
collision which, in all probability,will make the Royal Fa-
mily once more abandon the French territory. The whole
Cabinet is hated by the great majority of the French na-
tion. They believe its chief, Prince Polignac, to be
a mere creature of the Duke of Wellington—at least
formed in his political school ; and that the interests of
France are sacrificed to the timid, undecided policy so
long acted upon on this side of the water. There are,
however, two men who belong to it, who are, , pre-
eminently, distinguished by a larger portion of the
public contempt. These are the Minister of the In-
terior, Count de la Bourdonnaye, and the Minister of
War, the Count de Bounnont. The former has long
been abhorred for his Ultra- royal notions more suited to
the times of Louis XIV. than to those of Charles
X.--the latter deserted Napoleon on the night before
the battle of Waterloo. This is sufficient to make him in-
famous in the eyes of all the French Liberals, which com-
pose three-fourths of the nation. The storm, however,
hitherto has only fallen on Bourdonnaye, who has just been
compelled to resign. It is however supposed that other
changes must take place. It is impossible that the King
can meet the Chamber of Deputies, now on the point of
assembling, with a Ministry so unpopular as the present ;
and against whom a large majority of the Chamber is
already arrayed in opposition. If he does, he must take
the consequences. He will, we fancy, find himself much
mistaken if he speculates on assistance from any European
Power, in any future contest he may have with his
penple.--Yews.
