Paris IS nothing in his favor as soldier,
Or statesman; that it was the result OF
causes perfectly natural. That The whole
military force of the country was in the
hands Of a set of bravadoes and soldiers

security Of the Bourbons, with which |
think with the Allies, the interests of all
honest men and honest governments are
iaseparably connected, is greater now
