No, indeed, Germany has deserved a better fate
for its fidelity and for the great energy it has display-
ed, than to be deprived of its freedom as well as its

vow last of all of its security for the future.

with some interest, and it is said the Sovereigns will
not leave France until the spirit in which they ap-
pear disposed to act shall be ascerteintd. Hitherto
they idolised the Duke of Wellington, chiefly from
the good conduct of the British army, but I think,
in some measure, from their dislike to the veteran

either French or foreign, whom they do not hate at
this moment. It is a source of real distress to a
Frenchman to have no person upon whom to exercise
his propensity to mean adulation ; one of his first
wants is the " bend*

most insulting language to the English soldiers in the
streets, probably because they know that their lan-
: guage is not understood. Of the Prussians they are
in much greater dread.

of a Government that surpasses in cruelty and super.
