ItErnr ott BY M. POBZO DI 110110110, THE PRESENT
IHINhLts mtNisTra AT TILE COURT OP PRANCE, TO
Tilt OF ALL THE RUSSIAB, UPON THE AC-

TUAL STATE OF FRANCE.

In drawing a comparison between the state of the
putlic mind prevailing in France at the period of
the landing of the Usurper, and that which prevails
at present, it is, alas ! impossible almost not to fear
that the second restoration will not yet prove the end
of the revolutions of this country.
When Napoleon landed, the public functionaries
who had been deprived of their places by the return
of the Bourbons—the military, irritated at the reduc-
tion of their pay, and at the dispensation of honours
and rewaids in favour of individitals whom they con.
sider,d as their enemies=the men who had been con-
spicuous in the Revolution, and whom the Public
Journals had designated for so long a time to public
vengeance—the putchaseri of national property,
wli.irn the Jinn nudists and Priests threatened with de.
privation—tinilly, the peasants, who dreaded the re-
tie.' Of trio.% and the feudal system, greeted him,
notwithstanding the remembrance of his former ty-
r.inuy, not by attachment for his person. but through
avet Sion tot the government of the Bourbons, against
wliier they hat bouie I invincible prepossessions.
The emigrants, the nobles. and the priests, who
h.:l lost their domains and their privileges in conse-
q.ience of the Rev linion, and who expected that
under th.. teign of the Bourbons they would ulti.
matel). re,;itin client; finally. that class of individhals
%klub ate i 'different to every system of Government,
and ell wished but for repose, beheld, on the contrary,
the returil of Napoleon with bat ror : but the notori-
ous iwsillaniality of the ar.t, and the apaths or ego-
font of the ethers. rendered unavailing all the at-
teu);•ts that could be made to repulse him. He ar-
rived slalost without obstacle, and fond! nearly the
whole p pulation disposed to receive him, much less,
it must be repeated. through affection for him, than
through hatred for the Government which dissolved
itself. Those, who exclusively depended upon the.ta-
mily the Bourbons, defended them as usual, by
taking flight.
Stich i.as the sate of the palle mind when Na.poleon lauded at Cancn. and pursue .1 his triuniphal
rch to Paris. attended by the w.s!ies end almost
unionist us acclamations of the population of the pro-,
vi. ces tlityugh liich be hai to-puss.
It would stem tzi tt the state oti things and of the
po!ll:c mind ts not .-ro.e auspicious at this moment,
and that the univeistl inquietudes and feats which
the adniinistration of the Bourbons bud excited be.
sore their departure, have revived shier their re.
tont, and that they even exist in I conch greater
degree. . .

The violent manner in which their re-establishment
has been sikcted, the disasters. which have attended
it, the calamities of all kinds which the inhabitants
nne h4ll et-Fra.tct hare experienced in c:,nsequettee
vt the ittension Lireign armies, are far from bar.

The acts of their ;,,d inini-tration since their re-esta-

in one entnnion bond die various elements of S.
cial bady, split by r:volutions; and they consecibently

consistence and stahil:ty. An attentive and impar:

at, wanting in unity and combination. Their tem-
rtiziog srprit changes according to circumstances;
sarnetaines they cnitain a general amnesty—at other
ones the y produce a suspension of the Habeas Corpus
and Cie insti ution of Coors Prevomlef.
,p'iit of vacillation in the Government has
been depicted in a caricature—the. King is walk-
.ing, hoDitig und. r his arm an umbrella, upon which
is written, 4. the Charter." At the arpeAranee of a
se,lrta his Stljt•sty immediately displays the urn-
a.iCts the unfortunate Charter is displayed
whenever titc storm thteatens, and is folded up when
it aub%ides.

it wins necessary to do ore of two things: either
totally to l.iy aide the Charter, or adopt and fol-
low it with good laid). The middle course is the
most d:dicult, and the mast unsafe to pursue.
It is true, that Bonaparte, by following the same
course, had succetded in allaying factions, in recon-
ciling pacies, in subduing them all, and in gaining
absointc ixiwer ; but Bonaparte, (setting aside the
ascendancy he had acquired over the ;:tatim by the
services he had rendered to it, and by his prodizious
military reputatiou), knew how to rursue with an
ability, a perseveranke, and a firmness without ex-
ample, the object he had in view ; whilst the Hour-
boos know not how to employ in their acts either the
Urce,
.the constancy, or the combination indispen-
sabie to attain the same end.

A ces of the different Powers which consti-
tute the French Government, will suffice to substan-
tiate this truth.

wham no one can deny the title of On upright man,
a title very precious In these times, has *tome to
contend with the nation with which he is unacqutint'
ed, and which considers him as a stranger, and:with
the intrigues of the Court, as well as with those of the
Late Ministry eager to resume power. Above all
things, he is opposed by the British Cabinet, which is
desirous of weakening the influence of Russia; in
addition to which, he will soon have perhaps to en-
counter a man jealous of his unbounded ascendancy
over the mind, M. de Blocs', who, it is
affirmed, will cre long assume his former post, the
only one which has been kept vacant in the present
Ministry. Thus conscious of his deeply critical situ-
ation, the Minister observed not long since, that
placed between folly and guilt, he should soon be
obliged towetire. There can be no doubt as to the
choice of his successor; but M. de Talleyrand has
declared that he will have no communication with
the present Ministers of War or of the Interior, whom
the King wishes to retain.
TIM CHAIM= et PEERS :--The hereditary right
attributed to its members, the importance and splen-
dour of their functions, the interest which they have
in maintaining the order of things under which they
enjoy such high prerogatives, had quieted many re-
specting the dispositions of the Court and of the
Chamber of Deputies, and had given reason to hope
that they would keep free from the spirit of resist-
ance, and compel the Government to the faithful ob-
servation of the Charter. But all these fair hopes
have vanished. The Chamber of Peers, consisting
for the greater part of Chiefs of the Chosuon, of Ven-
deans, of fanatical Royalists. have evinced that party
spirit is a passion to which every thing is sacrificed.
The same observations may be 'applied to the
Chamber of Deputies; composed of the same, de-
ments, it must display the same spirit. The elections
of hs Members did not take place in a manner cal-
culated to conciliate the public esteem. In the first
place, the King appointed the Presidents of all the
Electoral Colleges ; in addition to which he empow-
ered the Prefects to add twenty Electors of their own
choice to the Colleges of the Departments, and ten
to the Colleges of the Arrondissements ; finally, as
these means were found insufficient to obtain such
elections Es were desired. there was hardly a College
in which fraud and violence were not employed to
controal the elections according to the wishes of Go.
vcrnment. Thus, for instance. at Toulouse, the Pre-
sident of the College, though appointed by the King,
not appearing a Royalist sufficiently PURE.. was vio-
lently expelled, and it was amidst the murderers of
General Ramel that the elections toAt place. At
Nismes also, the Electoral College was placed under
the influence of a band of robbers and assassins;—
such of the Membas of the Colleges as were Pro-
testants, had already taken flight to escape assas-
sination.

At Mendes, a Committee of Insurrection caused
she Electoral Colieee to be surrounded by rued
bands, prepared to fire. A •zen of the leaders of
these Wilds intruded themselves into the College,
and obliged the Electors to chew their votes before
they cast them into the urn ; they ill-treated several
of the Elect( r,, zsnd declared to the President (ap-
pcietcd by the Kipg) that. if be were to be elected,
he should not tetire alive.

These few fits may give an idea of the manner
in' which the Chamber of Deputies i.: composed,_
This Chamber has manifeited so revi!lutionary, sn
anti-constitutional, sad so anti-royal a spirit, that the
Ministry alarmed, thought it prudent to organise an
oppusition, by inviting the most r.ttion.rl and mode-
rate members to I,.rat A pirate chi : but this opeo-
sitton is still but iu a small minority.

The organisation of the military force, notwith-
standing die reiterated a.surances of the journals,
proceeds but with slowness and difficulty; the greater
number of the old soldiers refuse to serve, and prefer
tilling the ground. Government is therefore obliged
to have recourse to volantary enlistments, and to
empl bounties. The individuals who offer to serve
k tii :ors are numerous enough, but they have for
die nio,t part no semblinee of mili:a: y service ; yet
som: of teem, by means of intrigue, succeed in ob-
taining rank, and evco superior rank. A bankrupt
tradesman hits been appointeil a Colonel and an Offi-
cer of the Legion of Honaur. The Government,
'no; ev. r, have so little confidence in the composition
of this new army, that they have already postponed
several times the departure of the Duke of Welling-
ton. and that of his troops.
The internal administration proceeds better in the
North than in the South. Yet such arbitrary mea-
sures are adopted every where, that it is impossible
that the same resistance should not be generally met
with. Prefects, Sub• Prefects, and Authorities still
more subordinate, even the Mayors take upon diem-
selves. to impose arbitrary taxes upon their districts,
and upon individuals whom they suspect of opinions
contrary to their own. Many pare Royalists resistl
the payment of the extraordinary contributions, un-
der the pretence that they should be borne solely by
the men of the Revolution: in consequence of which,
many a collector has given up his office, under the
apprdiension that, in exacting payment of the coniri.
htt:on3 according to law, he should be charged with
lionapa-tism, and prosecuted before a Cour Prerotale;
alti:oogh it be notorious, that, with the exception of
the Army and of a small number of men, whose very
existence is intimately connected with that of Napo-
leon, there does not exist a Frenchman who does not
execrate this man—i.the author of their miseries.—
Notwithstanding this circumstance, a sort of inquisi-
tion is enforced every where, wh:ch can only be at-
tended with. fatal results : several constituted autho.
rities invite, by confidential letters, those under their,
contreul to make reports and denunciatims ; they
examine witnesses, &c. In consequence of these va-
rious excesses, private society, formerly so unreserved
and agreeable io France, has lost almost all its at.
tractions ; people are divided ; they fear and avoid
one another ; scarcely any assemblies are made p
party spirit prevails even in families, and banishes
therefrom all peace and harmony.
Public and private transactions have almost en.
'dray ceased; they cannot resume their ordinary
course, until tfv Government shall have made known
the means it proposes to employ to ensure the per.
formance of the engagements contracted by the dif-
ferent stipulations of the Treaties of Peace. The
transfer of prcperty is become impracticable ; those
who still possess specie conceal it, tearful of thesrea-
tion of a paper money. Upon a property worth halt
a million of lines (about 420,000 sterling) it would

• "

be very difficult to raise a thoond louts d'ors, even'
at it vary high interest.
:Upon these general considerations of the deplorable
situation of the country, and the yet more melan-
choly prospect with which it is menaced, it is impos-
sible to found a hope of ameliorating its situation but
by the union of the Allies, the -occupation of France
by their troops, and by their protection, not only
against the attempts of the Red Jacobins, but also
against the machinations of the White Jacobins, who,
under the mask of religious fanaticism, resuscitated
in Europe since the restoration of the different branches
of the House of Bourbon, have committed within
these six months in the South such horrors and cruel-
ties as the whole course of the French Revolution
scarcely offers an example.
If, unfortunately, the Great Allied Powers should
not remain united for a great length of time, it the
collision of their interests should divide them, we
must infallibly behold unhappy France again a prey
to those revolutionary convolsions, by which site has
been torn for five and twenty years ; and, in this
case, the Bourbons would be inevitably forced to
descend a third time from their throne. Such, at
least, is the opinion of a great Statesman, of Lord
Castlereagh, who wrote to the Emperor Alexander
on the Bth of August last, that •• the re-establish-
ment of the Bourbons, such as it then was, could not
be considered as the term of the revolutionary state,
and that the duration of their existence depended
upon the presence of the Allied Armies in the heart
of France."
Experince has also shewn, and more than once,
that the cause of the Bourbons could not prevail un-
less supported by foreign bayonets ; that it has been
always vanquished every time that it has entered the
lists alone, and that too without the least necessity of
opposing the smallest resistance, and without a single
individual perishing either in their cause or against it.
In fine, this cause, which cannot be always thus
supported, and which for that reason must of neces-
sity fall, by turns thrown down by the nation and
raised up by foreigners, appears to menace France
with a succession of bloody catastrophies, which will
be renewed until the ruin of this fine country shall be
wholly consummated—a tragic exhibition reserved,
perhaps, for our posterity.—Duernher, 1815.
