The King has restored it twice to France, and France'
will never fdrget it.,
We, the advance,iats, have only been the echos of
Frhisee t we,lllAAnly defended its dearest and most
sacred rights; we can only announce before-hand its
gratitude towards the Throne, and that noble heredial
tary Chamber which has felt a real happiness in not
discussing a law, the debates on which would have been
a fatigue to its loyalty. We shall never forget that its
Commission hers heard our observations with an *neu-
tron full of kindness—with that desire of truth which
factions reject, and all tutelary and benignant poweri
seek.—We are now permitted to publish what we have
known of the results of the impartial and rigorous ex-
amination the project has undergone. It bad rejected
all the articles which violated property and acquired
rights. It had repulsed every thtng destructive of the
onginal constitutional liberty of Frenchmen ! All the
conclusions of the Report had been adopted with an
unanimity which presaged that of the Chamber.
The Ministry has at length acknowledged that the
contest was impossible. The law is withdrawn, and
transports of joy burst forth throughout Paris, and will
echo throughout France. Every one sees in that event
the pledge of better times..
Let us learn to be worthy of this memorable victory ;
let us continue to point out with firmness and modera-
tion all disorders—all abuses. Let us give our enemies
no pretence for calumniating liberty. A faction tri-
umphs with insolence; a constitutional people with wis-
dom. Although the news was but little known this
evening, a considerable number of the streets were illu-
minated. It is probable that to-morrow (Wednesday)
the illumination vsdl be general.
We think it our duty to remind our fellow-citizens
that fire-works are forbidden by the regulations of the
Police. We must leave our adversaries no pretext for
calumniating the most legitimate joy.
Mr. CANNI'''; AND THE CONGREGATION-..AVE fore-
saw that th . Journals of the Congregation would be
alarmed at the elevation of Mr. Canning, but we were
hr from thinking that the expression would be so warm
and so incautious ; it is quite a declaration of war by
our Apostolisai Junta against Mr. Canning. Its organs
would willingly cry that the caws fcederis has occurred,
and that all Kings and At istocracws must take the field
against him. 44 Liberalism," says the official Journal
of the faction, " has just obtained a complete uiumph
a new rallying point protects the invasions of ievelu-
non amid agitated societies. Never were principles
more openly threatened ; every thing seems to favour
tare march of revolutions. We rush thither, pushed on
by some indescribsbly blind fatality, which precipitates
us ; and in the confusion of ominous doctrines, every
day sees some just principles effaced—some men die
who had insured the restoration of European Mo-
narchies.
We must not forget, that in the language of faction,
the word 'evolution is synonymous with Charte, and
that by the restoration of European monarchies, .we
must understand the testoration of privileges and abso-
lute power. Thus the fears of the faction are excited by
the triumph of constitutional doctrines, which bring
nations from a state of servitude to recognise the rights
of men and citizens. Toe nomination of Mr. Canning
is to them a mortal b1.0.v, for they care little for the
fate of the Catholics of Ireland; what they desire, and
imperiously demand isvdominion—absolute dominion.
During this clamour, the Ministry preserves a mourn-
ful silence. Our Ministry is engaged in a system to-
tally opposite to that of St. James's. Hostile to our
liberties, it is also hostile to those of neightmuting na•
;ions ; it has given, by the suppression of the Ordon-
naoce of Andujar, absolution to Spain. Tite English
Ministry has the confidence of the nation ; it favours,
the liberty of Poougal. What a harmony mig!vt exist
between the two Ministries! is not the conduct tit Mr.
Canning a bitter satire on the conduct of our Ministers ?
What means their silence, unless they regret that the
Oligarcy did not prevail in the councils of the King of
Great Britain ; or that they fear the retirement of an
Aristocratical Ministry is a signal for their own?
