BLOODSHED IN FRANCE.

The •nen, who have jest fallen victims to the Boor.
bons, are, probably, not a fiftieth part of those %he
rill fall in the confer of another year or two. It is
nonsense to mak• an out-cry about it, unless our words
were steel or bullets. The Bourbons will " rate& it"
(as the soldiers call it) at last; but, in the mean-
while, sense men mast ; blood ~tart finrr ; for, as
to submittingto the Bourbons e(mtentedly, that is what
the French still serer du.—Some blame the Bourbons
for endeavouring to bling thing's 5 icA to the old mark.
Bat, the Bourbons, like all other creatures. seek their
oam prescrtmtim ; and, they feel that, if the people
br free they cannot exist. It is most likely flirt the'
struggle will go on between them and the people, no-
t 4 tiler• he, in some shape or other, a 7' lit I'l4 i t Rep
land: and that would settle their affair for them in
grand style.--. 11 is forename for the liaorbons, tltit
they hare no debt worth speaking ef ; so that the pro.
plc, compared with are alsnoet tax free. The frVO-
lati"nary government got rid of the old debt, that hav-
ing first destroyed the "Id government; and very little
deli: is now existing. So that the people at Ise/pare roar,
and, of cows,, not mutinous. There wants. however,
only the occasion, to blow the whole Bourbon thing

traitor to the cause of freedom that ever existed, awl

and he basely betrayed the trust, seliicb, as far as he
was able, the liberties of mankind for the gratification
of his own vanity and pride. It was good fur Vrance
to get rid of him, at any price. The fellows son 11,.
got now have no fools to avi,,4i.e thin : there is no-
taint in them to balance against the aallit.iry hatred
that is felt towards them. Nothing is so bad as • ty
