What a drum is France ! What a frightful sea
of discords and dangers, whereon to launch the frill'
bark of Bourbon policy, and the weak remnant of a
proscribed dynasty, that can neither forget nor fore
giwri, and dares not have recourse to the only means
which would sooth The troubled eietnents, and bring.
order out of confusion. Where is the light of that
"living polity" w hich alone can diffUSP tr:a oquillity over
those popular and tumultuous wares, Which tbreatetr
to set at neeghtthe iron-boundary of desposivm,and give
a new shock to the frame of society ? That light despotic
hands a ould extinguish for ever ; and in the madness of
its impotent, rage, forgetting that all GovernaNht is

from the people and for the.twmple, aid whargives
stability to power Is well air to 4appiness would still
further rend asunder.the bonds of society, aid scat.
ter the materials of that fabric which time, the
usages, hartitetions, habits, affections, and interests
Oa wide cOmeorsity; have made that of its peace,

of the army are admitted to have been nriees ; sod
those assiipiedriew well worthy of attention. The
Impolicy of itellsbastlleg has been long obvious to
us oW the grolnd etatedfn the Report. It is, indeed,
impossible not to discover a jut ground of
ap-
prehension in the drcomstanee of throwing upon
ah electric and already highly 'lnhaled popu-
teflon two heedred thoisiind men, trained to
war, and connected by the most intimate ties with
those placed ..opposition to, the Government,
and already in a state of armed hostility.--
Brigands, partizans, innumerable armies, and civil
war, are the probable fruits of such a policy ; and
although anew Roy"! Army maybe formed, as the
Report observes, it wilt be a long time before the
' object is accomplished of estranging a new army
from the interests of the old—perhaps such an
estrangement is as impolitic as it is difficult
.; and amidst
such complicated, such shattered, and discordant in-
teresta, views, and feelings, and a country looking
/ (snits King as au alien, what reliance is to be placed
lon any army or party. Hence we suppose the tem-
; porizlng and apparentty ambiguous policy which has
been pursued towards the armies. The Papers re-
ceived yesterday brought a Proclamation from Mar-
i shal MACDON.%LD to the army on. its being rtisbaud-
I ed, in which he plainly says, 1‘ the disbanding is
i only apparent, since the moment the dissolution of
t the regiment takes place they are re-created under a
new dinemination."
Moreover, how could it be wonted that any Mi-
nister who was interested fier the safety of his coun-
try, and had to treat with Powers who showed
legions for *rear:wilts, would advise his Sovereign to
'bereave himself entirely of the only means of giving
corresponding weight to his represootations, and
voluntarily lay open the defenceless breast of the ,
laud to its invaders aed oppressors' " The great
struggle of the Revolution is not yet &kited," ,
nes Fovcnr; awl' this is as much as to say
the war is not yet finished. For we perceive
I that the Revolution is viewed u a crime of a
deep dye nod too long a standing. • Even Louts,
after ell the salutary lectures he has got, to libe-
ralize his notions on this head, has• been saying
Mass for the " escesses" committed daring the strug-
gle. He is doubtless tremblingly alive to the possi-
bility of their recurrence under the government of the
hands into which be has [ellen. But " ivory
thing during the last twenty-five years has not
been crime, or illusion ;" end though It may
hare been designated by the former. gentle app
pellation, the enemies of that revelation new pert
eels" to their ewer, thatit neither has been, nor will it
pass away like an ill wintt.
We are told, in Brussels and Frankfort Papers,
which reached tts last night, that the return of the
Emperor of AUSTDI a to Vienna is again deferred ;
and 5o uncertain indeed does the period of his final
departure from Paris appear to be, that his coro-
nation at Milan, as King of Lombardy, is put oft
till the next spring. It Weeded from Brussels, upon'
the authority of private accounts, that apart of the
Allied armies would evacuate France in the coarse of
the present month, provided the French army. shall
4w wholly disarmed. This is a very material proof-
sion ; and shOws what difficulties the Allies have yet
to encounter in their project of establishing universal
peace, we comsat say freedom. .

We understand that up to yesterday, all pppliea-
tion to the Privy Council for orders for the shipment
of naval stores for France continued to he refused.

Soine of the letters by the French Mail to the .5.h
inst. state, that the Prussian troops had withdrawn
from the gardens of the Luteniburg, and the Na-
tional Guards were to do duty there.
The General Harcourt, which has arrived from St.
Domingo, has brought letters to !held ult. The war
hid not been renewed between Kiog HENRY and the
President PErlow. In consequence of the long cos-
lotion of hostilities the tratfi of the island wee west!).

The last accounts from Sweden state, that the king
does not intend to his Nortsr,zian territories this
year on account of ill health. The Cream Prince,
however, was shunt to depa, t for Christiania, where
the Diet had assembled, and were chielly occupied in
debates and dissensloov.

U. seamen at Sunderland are illegally stopping
the sltips from going to sea. At first they demanded
that every ship should base an extra hand or two, ac.
cording to her tonnage, with four !Tnineita wagos.—...

This demand wee gettemity complied with by the
ship-owners, as their 'fuels were ready for sea ; bat
On Thursday the stilors mopped all ships belonging
to the port, even those who were willing to comply
with their first demand. •
