We do not feel ourselves authorised to go mo
reflections on the late interesting foreign news,
until We receive additional advices from Eu-
rope. From what we have seen, however. it is
obvious that Bonaparte has fallen victim to
treachery and force Treachcry from those in
whom he confided ; and force from those he
bad injured. The new constitution of France
is good one, and is a great point gained for
tho people. We confess we did not expect SO
much from the restoration of the Bourbons /;
and it goes far to reconcile us to that event,
that France is TO have, comparatively speaking,
a free form OF government. - -
