TUE FRENCH PRESS.

The -irritation of the greater number of the French
journals at the reception of King Louis-Philip in En-
gland is truly ridiculous. All hopes of war, and of the
probable consequences of war in favouring revolution:lly
moven,ents seemed to be tar the present dashed. En-
gland has given to the French mmarch a henry cordial
reception, arid his Majesty has declared his sense of the
unportance of peace to the interests of both nations.
This is too much to bear. The war party, that is, the
par y of revolutionists, whether Legitarnists or Democrats,
the patty of those who are out of place and office, or who
arc broken io fortune, arid therefore erger for change;—
this motley but too numerous party knows not which way
to turn at the present moment, and the various grimaces
journals
h a
s is
by which they express their vexaCon are truly ludicrous.

" BEAMIES OF THE FRENCH PRESS.-PERFIDIOUS

ALUION

" [From the Notional]—France is outraged—insulted ! Per-
fidious Albion has achieved her crowning insult ! Yes—will •
:t be neieved—can Jeune France for one moment imagine such
an atrocity—the Duke of Wellingt n, who, with his English
gold, bought the battle of Waterloo. he who br,ught back the
Bourbons over the slaughtered bodies of Frenchmen—he,
above ali other men, was despatched by Queen Victoria to wel-
come to Portsmouth the King 'of the French t And Loui- -
Philip shook him by the hoods—yes, one hand was not enough
—but, hear it France, and let the ashes of Napo eon stir with
indignation—he shook him by both hands!
• [From the Sire/e.]—tip hat! was it necessary for the full ac-
complishment of our degradation that the King of the French
should be feasted in the Hall of Waterloo in Windsor Castle—a
half, decorated with the portraits of men who have outraged
France—who have sAlt the clued of her children ? Had not
M. Go izot sufficiently ,egraded the unt _rtuntite country which
moor us his administration, bat that with a smile upon his
cheek—yes, a smile traitorous to ourselves and our i stitu-
tions—he must walk in Windsor Park with the man Peel?
Dad the ' man of Ghent' forgotten the insolence of the En-
glish M ulster when he denounced the doings of our invincible
Brunt, the iirimorW hero who has bayoneted the Tahi ions, and
all but kidnapped Queen Pomare t Guizot walks, and talks,
and smiles with Peel in the Home Park ! Why does not all
France, h.,aping from its lethargy, chant the Mansciliaise, and
grasp the sword ?
[V: om the Globe ] —The least that France could expect of the
Duke of Wellington, during the visit of Louis-Philip to Wi. d-
sor, was decant behaviour. Nluch, from the character of the
man, could not he expected. No : the man who had been base
enough to corrupt the traitors who sold their haplesi country—
the man who with accursed gold bought the Batt e of Water-
loo, was not likely -to make any large sacrifice to decency.
Nevertheless, the leant to be expected of him w..s, that during
Louis-Philip's visit he would remain within his own doors.
Certainly, it was not to he expected that he would have the
audacity to approach the King of the French ! ilad he pos-
sessed the true dedeacy of a hero, he.would on the sadden have
fallen very ill, and kept his bed 'luta the King had departed.
such senAliility. however, does not dignify a Wellington. No :
on the contrary, even before the French King had touched the
hiited soil of Albion, Wellingtou was on board the Gomer ; and
what is more—as the English prints atutaciou ly declare it-
- looking in excelent health and spirits !' But France—while
the man of Ghent reigns—is doomA to be insulted."
