more cruel than the first. Yet that would be the ine-
vitable resu.'t of a combination of true Royalists with
14ose men who, otter the restoration of France, might
sta, enterfnin the desire of creasing their erroneous
opinions to prevail, and who would therchN expose
us to relapse into the disorders front which we,a e
scarcely emerged.

reflects o❑ his condition. The language of Nature
is ill eloquent on this subject :

" I know that men are only accountable to God
for the opinions which they possess at the bottom of
their souls, and I do not presume to usurp his ri4ht :
but they are accountable to the Sovereign authosity
for all manifestation of opinion. henry IV. for-
gave the head of the League, but he exterminated the
League itself, and its Chiefs (the Doke de Nlayetute
the foremost) became zealous Royalists. Charles iI.
made use of Munch, but Nlotielt restored him his
Crown such as his father had enjvcd it tfure the
long Parliament. lit these times, all who are true
Roya!ists, whether they have always been sn, or,
that they have sincerely abjured their errors, are
worthy of co-operating in the restoration of 110-
moray, because they alone will labour with good
faith to re-establish it on solid foundations; those
who have hitherto persisted in tlivir errors may yet
repent. but the great work once accomplished the
limo of indulgence is no more."

nature. The agitation of the public mind is reneued
to a degree even hevood %%hat it has hitherto been.—
The Legislative Chambers, oho were so auxiously
looked to ai the means of restoring tranquillity, have
only added to the general irritation, and heightened
the horror of Bourbon Governments. The private
adviCes from France speak of the perturbed state of
that country in terms so despondent that we might
be thought too much disposed to indulge in such
gloomy prospects, were we to give publicity to all
the sentiments and details thus communicated; hut
we are hound to say that a speedy explosion is now
the general expectation in Paris. The greatest alarm
prevails at the Palace, and preparations for depar-

To this letter the author ad's--" I am certain that
this miserable charter was always in opposition with
the King's principles; it rou'd never be his work.
All the evils of which this Charter has been the
cause, should therefore fall on his rash and perfidious
advisers, who, abusing the confidence of so just and
enlightened a Prince, have presented him with this
disastrous invention as a means of arriving at the re•
storation of France."

here follows a long Declaration of the King, dated
in 1795, the lit year of his reign. TA% Declaration
is entirely in the spirit of the letter we have fast
given. To this document is subjoined, by the author
of the pamphlet, the following observation on the
present House of Deputies :—" Who cou!d in so re-
spectable an Assembly be rash enough to propose
maintaining the Charter ? The wisdom of its Mem-
hers denote that it is in perfect harmony with the
Kitig, with justice, and with reason ; and that they
will propose to his Majesty, of whom, indeed, they
form only the Council, the reestablishment of our
antique Constitution, and thus put an end to the ca.
lamities of our wretched country."

The foregoing is the substance of a pamphlet,
which, together with " A word to !he tgo Chow-
bcrs," has made a great sensation here. In the first
ramphlet, the author boldly tells the King that he
should employ the 46 Crusade of Kings," which has
restored him to France, and the " 600,000 bayonets"
nt their command, to subvert tho Constitutional
Charter, the two Chambers, and all power which
puts itself in opposition to the absolatc szzay of the
King. The So►ereigns are considered as having
united for the purpose of enforcing the principle of
legitimacy nod divine right, and they are desired to
beware of how they allow different principles and
liberal ideas to prevail. Both pamphlets have been

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1815.

The secoonts front France ere more gloomy than
e‘rr, and it ii more than ever impossible to speculate

with accuracy on the result of the present agitated
state of that country. If we look at the intentions
of the Powers who are coercing France, and the
system which the restored Government is endeavour-
ing to establish under their sanction, and with their
aid, we can have no doubt of the future prospects of
that unhappy country; all the efforts of the most
iron hearted despotism that ever marshalled its hordes
for the extermination of human liberty, and sought to
establish the reign of bigotry and intolerance on the
ruin of human right,are now exerted to rivet the chains
of slavery on the French nation, that nation vs hich has
so long and so honourably given an example of op-
position to the will of the enemies of freedom, who,
raised to power by popular strength ana law,
blasphemously ossert that they have rights from
God to oppress his people, and disregard all laws,
human and divine—but though these Powers are at
present triumphant by the very means they despise,
and liberty is low in the dust, clanking the fetter of
abhorrence, or seeking a milder fate in foreign lands,
we yet may be permitted to doubt, whether a nation
like France can so suddenly be bent and reconciled
to the gsllitig yoke, and in the gloom of hopeless
apathy and degradation, resign all the invigorating
prospects she has so fondly cherished, and forget that
she once was free. If France is already sunk in
this depth of despondency, ber people have very
much altered their nature since last March. If those
millions who have so long the " tyrants of their 1
fields withstood," and acknowledged no sovereignty
but what emanated from the people—if they can mei.
come back their oppressors, and take the will of the
Prince for the law of the nation—France is, indeed,
fallen—liberty is extinct, and II
