piece of manilas noteome upon as by surprise, it hay.
ing been long understood that the busiest' bad heed,
settled at the different Coirts, we feel no difficulty
in collimating on the thing Ralf, nor in speaditing
on the probable consequences of theemencipetles of
France.. One thing we cannot help wbserviug, that,
is oar &amble opinion, the deters. Is a deem if jell-
tier, and, according to the way in *bleb, we have
been accustomed to look at the subject, ought to
have been made tong since, without any stipulations
for the payment of money on the pert of the French
People. The occupation of their territory by an
armed force, must have been galling enough to them,
and will be remembered, whilst a Frenchman exists,
to the disadvantage of this country, *here all the
blame is laid. To be lased into the bargain and
made to recollect the humiliation inflicted upon them,
by as impost reminding them in its collection, per-
haps three or four times a-year, that they are paying
their money to foreigners, must be too' great a trial
for their forbearance, and cannot fail to cherish ani-
mosity betwixt the two countries, which wisdom
would have exercised all its powers in endeavouring
to allay. At all events, it would be politic magnani-
mity in this country to sink all claims of money.—
What we are to receive in a mere trifle, compared
with the advantages to be derived from conciliating
so many millions of enterprising people, with
whom it is the most probable that such conduct woi4cl
facilitate an intercourse, the mere friendly' the more
profitable, which could not fail to be highly profit-
able in a commercial point of view. As to the effect
Ito be anticipated from the French being left to govern
themselves, we entertain no fare on-that head. Had
the foreign troops staid much longer, we should not
have been surprised at another Revolution; and iris
an opinion eotertained.by as, that the knowledge of
the general end dangerous distiatisfitctioo existing
amongst all ranks on that heed, has as much as any
thing hastened the evacuation. Danger of Revolt-
•tion we see none. Mori of -those, from whom dan-
ger might be apprehended, are out of the country ;
those who are in it, of the same stamp,' have lost
their credit by their tergitersationi.. Besides, it is
`quite clear that, in pleat of chit and poetical pri-
vileges, a great improvement has taken place, lay-
ing the foundation for still greater,' which, unless
some most unexpected turn take' place, wilt eventu-
ally place that country on i level with the most en-
tied in paint of constitutional freedom. We by no
gleans would be understood as panegyrists of Galtic
rule. Far, indeed, are we from undertaking to eel°.
gibe the French Government, which still, in many
respects, partakes of thegetsius of the ancient de-
spotism, sod never can he truly a Government esta-
blished' in the affections of the People, till the re-
straints on the Liberty of the Press are removed ;
till the system of extracting evidence from the mouth
of suspected persons, previous to trial, be destroyed,
and personal security be ensured, by a law similar to
our Habeas Corpus Act. Bet we do think, not-
withstanding these defects, that if the ezisting Go-
vernment act only with common prudence, and a
decent attention to the wishes of the People, there is
no danger from any revolutionary movement.—Es-
perience must have taught even the sanguine
Frenchman moderation and caution. Besides, in
the Representative Body, clumsily organised as
it is, he has a channel through which to mite
known his complaints, if he have any, and a mode
of seeking redress for grievance,without the ipprehen-
sion of him committed to the Bastile. We are far from
believing, that there is in France any great degree of
personal attachment to the Bourbons; but we spore-.
bend that there is a large mass of the best part of the
population, -firmly convinced, that in the present
,circomatances of the nation, an experiment to change
the dynasty, would not only be hazartrlous in itselt;
but, if successful, Pruttlematical, as to any adven.
tages that might eceruefroMitio the nation. Bona-
parte we, is great tyrant as ever sat Ms the French
