SAINT avocatons OF business, from FIVE in the |
morning till ten at night, hei described as |
a man OF great gallantry, and is reported to |
have nuperonS progeny by various favo |
rites All petitioners have easy access TO
him at the reviews and at the hunts, and
regularly receive his answers to their petit
tons through the nlinisters.-The reserve
and gravity Of his character render him no
particular favorite OF the French people
yet Ills merit in restoring order out OF the
chaos OF the revolution, his methods OF con
ciliating all parties, and the splendor Of his
character and achievements, attach and re
conciie all the considerable, ambitious and
military part of the people to Ills govern
ment. No man speaks Of the revolution &
OF the actors in it without horror and no
one thinks of the Bourbon faa.iiy. Bonaparte
may not be generally beloved. yet,te cannot
be said to be hated. and he is never despis-
leo. The reigning Empress is little esteem
ed, and in matters of religion is supposed to
be very bigotted. She is much attached to
her husband WHOM, she calls "Dton cnour."
The King of Rome is a healthy child and
very like his father. In the event of the
death OF Napoleon, it is generally supposed
in France that the regency Will be readily
and quietly established.
The people always speak vith deep
concern of the prttraSted duration of the
English wap which they consider as an eff
tectot those IL aligRant coalitions that for
twenty-four years have been raised against
their revolution ard government and they
pant for the return of peace, it may perhaps
he said as anxiously do many sensible
people in England.
" Notwithstanding the ecitreme delicacy
n describing the feelings Of the people OF
hostile nations to each other, IL may perhaps
be usetully stated. that as the intelligent
portion OF the French draw their differences
from t'e extraordinary message Of March
1905, from the documeHts connected with
Lord Whitw orth's negotiations about Malta
aod froa the failure of the numerous over
lures Tor peace made by Napoleon, they
consider the war as wholly uNAvoIpABLE-
and as purely defensive on the part of
France. Besides, they generally speak OF
all recent wars, merely as continu ations OF
the revolutionary war, and as excited and
persevered in by the same Jealous and acri-
monious spirit against the prosperity and
internal government Of France, which an
mated the combined dcspots from 1890 to
1900 and they number all the ncw leagpes
& coalitions against France in series begin
ming from thar of 1890 till that of 1Sl2,-
hey reckon that they are now contendine
against the sixth of these coalitions avery
FORMER one OF which has terminated by dis
comf.ure, and by the ruin of some of thu
parties; and IS every coalition ends in the
further aggrapd cement of France. and in
diminished means of the COalesced powers
little anxiety is felt ia France about the is
sue OF any Of them. Indeed, many French
preachers maintain III the Pdlpits of Paris,
that the Almighty, for purposes measured
oy MS inscrutable wisdom, has hardened
the hearts of TIE rulers of nations. As he har-
dened that OF Pharaoh, and that France is
out an instrument eff Providence in the mo-
dern devastatioas of Europe.
