FRENCH NATIONAL GUARD.
another part of oar paper will be found the letter
ms. de Is Fayette, giving a sleuription of the cha-
, of the National Guard, which dtseription is truly
insirable, The letter is a symptom of the state of
,gs in France. That people is nut enslaved, amongst
such a letter can be circulated through the public
e.rs. Find us a " gentleman opposite" in England to
.blish such aietter as thls.The gentleman opposite, tow!.
on will say, beable to write it first; and we, for ocr pavt4,
should not know where to clap our finger directly upon
a gentleman opposite.—'f he people of France a. e
;laves, as long as they have one single legislator
the spirit of Manuel, er La Fayette. We think the
Gauche do wrong in seceding. They must go
again; and, perhaps. they have no more right
secede than the others have to turn them out.
twever, all that has taken place as to this Matter, sh. w
the French have a• legislative assembly worthy of
name ; it shows that the men composing this legis-
;te are in earnest ; it shows that the best talk.tra on the
tpporitlun side.cannot be bribed into silence; it shows
t the thing is not a sham ; it shows that theenesob• rs
not a set of scoundrels, sent together by bribed sil-

vernment dare mot venture to punish the National (luard !
'his alone is 'proof of the freedom of France. France is
t when the Nation..! Guard can dare to act as it did,
particularly wben the Government dare not punish it
so acting. The officers of the National Guard ; that
to say; the superior officer', seem very anxious to slur
!matt. r over ; to snake the Nation believe that the re't
the corps of National tiuurd, disapproves of the con-
set of those who refused to arre,t M. Mannel. This is
poor trick. It is tioe trick of baffled tyranny, or what
,oultt be tyranny if it could. This is a very glorious
ircuntstance for France this conduct. we wean, of the

And children and unartsod men, and proud of rereiving

;hat else will be the consequence vi itosill not tend to en-
slave the people of France! There is the t rue hone of liber-
ty, alter all. There are the right notions respecting it, and
there are the power and the courage to maiutain it. The
thanks of the whole world are due to the French nat'on fur
bringing the European despots upon their l:nees, duriug

We hare to thank them; we, at,v," all men, hate to
',hank them; fur, it was their bravery; their mottclolcs
skill an! perseverance, that brought upon our pretty !Teti-

while the pictures and statues were removing from 'brie
galleries; and while such heaving was going on about
having Conquered France; we bade them then be of good
cheer, fur that many years would not pass over their
heads before the occasion would offer for their taking
ample revenge. Those )ears have already passed, it
seems; bur, at any rate, our eternal thanks are due to the
people of France for the 90P millions of debt which ti.is
system has to pay. Reflections like there always crowd
into our minds when we hear of any thing that seems to
affect the liberty and happiness of the French people.--
The occurrences of which we have just spok en, convince
us that France is by far the freest country that we know
any thing at all about ; and we arc very happy to pet-
