thing because it was English ; 'beaus& English plays
pat them in mind of what English Bank-notes had
dose. This was the ground work of that clamour and
pelting which drove the lieenced vagrants off: anti
highly honourable the feeling was to the French people.
It is to be mad to suppose, that the Bourbons do
not see this feeling in the people, and to be worse than
mad to supposoithat they will not yield to it, for their
own safety as Well as from motives of ambition. We
look upon all the measures of the Bourbons to be
taken with a view to our utter inability again to go
to war. They will, every day, see fresh proofs of this
isability. The constant prayer must be, that we shall
adhere to the mill-stoles ; and they see, that we must
adhere to them until we have • Reform of the Par.
meat, which they will, sod, perhaps rightly, coo-
clad* that we never shall have as long es the system
can, by the means of any sacrifices, be held together.
Such is oar view bf the State of Frew, considered
relatively to England. As to the vehement debates is
the French Hesse of Common', we, taking into view
the character of the people, regard them merely as
proofs that the parties are in earnest. The Bourbons
are sire to please the people, if they gratify them in
their passim' for glory, and particularly in their
hatred of the Dank Nets nation ; the nation who got
to Paris by dint of paper-mosey. The conclusion we
should draw is this ; that no time should be lost on
the part of Etglaud to free herself from tithes or debts;
but, as this does not seem likely to be the conclusion
to which oar Collective Wisdom will come, we
mast wait patiently for the operation of time and
events.

the prices, from five shillings to a guinea, mark at

receive his Majesty at the boundary et Edinburgh is
not yet particularly fixed : three places on Leith-walls
have been already inentioeed, and some difference of
opinion prevails in the absence of more weighty points
of contention, upon the shays of the stractere. Sir
