Oar private letters from France very
p sit,veiy assert, that the long pending
Treaty has heeu finally concluded. Un-
L IS some strong impression &c that effect
had prevai.ed among the moniel men in
France, We know not we'll how 10 account
Tor the fact, that while thc most unplea-
SAINT rumorS of the state OF the interior
Continue u prevaii, the funds have expe-
renccd marked amelioration. In the
c' urse Of the SSth ult. they were rs high
AS 90 Ii. 1t WAS believed that the Duke
of Bourbon had been the bearer Of copy
o. the treaty 10 Eng'Snd and that il a
waited only the ratification of the Prince
gent to be promulgated. 1t is now as
serted that the report ascribed to Fcuche
was the workmanship of one of his hack
ney srr,bes named Jcni, and was merely
jaccb'nical maneuvrc to feel the pulse Of
the people. 1t appcars to have failed
The nation in general, though smarting
under the har'ships universally incident
to Invasion, apnear by TO N. ans inclined
TO augment their >uierirgs by Il rash and
foolish II sstance to the large armies of the
Allies. Hence it is predicted that Pouches
power draws TO a close and even the
journals subjected by the Royal Ordi-
nance 10 his controul, begin to show
symptoms of q disposition to set him at
defiance.
CerairIy no more tremendous excuses
have suilied the French history than those
commit ed by Fouche. In vain has this
mopster cndeavoured to stiRc the voice of
public indignation. In vain has he hired
some unprincipled men both IN France and
England to eulogize him. HIS money is
thrcwn away, and his panegyrists lose their
labour. The torrents of blood which he

The auGacious b 'aSpheuies which he vaun-
iingly uttered at Nevers, will forever ring
IN his ears. A christian country cannot,
and will not be dissraced by being placed
under such domination. 1t is true that a
weak and foolish policy has led some states
men to shut their eyes ut the atrocities
which this man has committed but pop
uar feeling, even in France, is guided by
better p inciples. 1t is true, that with all
his crimes on his head, tins man has procu-
red himself to be tlected in three different
d psrtments but this is solely owing to
his influence Us a minister, = - an of wealth,
and cuke and after ali, it is doubtful,
whether one of the first motions in the
new chamber Of deputies viii not be to
eXpel linn from their BODY. AS far as
we have been able TO investigate TIE lists
OF the new represents tives, we are dispo-
tain considerable proportion Of moderate
and independent men. Cut of seventv-six
names lying before us, only four belonged
20 the legislative body of 1914 whilst on
the other hand we see sever names of
men who have distinguished themselves
by their attachment to the royal cause
ferhaps upon the whole, the fault which
Mr.. Burke fouGd in the composition of the
first assemble OF the 2fers 'EtQt is still too
prevalent we mean the excessive num-
Der Ct lawyers. 1t is obvious that in a le-
gis'ative assembly al respectable proees-
slons and occupations should be represent
ed IN due propo. ton but, compared with
other classes, we find fer more than
proDcrtonate number of advocates, coun-
sellers Of prefecture, and counsellors and
presidents Of the royal courts. We trust,
however that these gentlemen have learn
ed wisdom from tie sad experience of their
country sufIeTings, sufferings not the less
real because some of them were cover
cd with the purple robe of empire, or
concealed under the bloody veil of con-
quest.
Otwhat is properly to be called news,
these urnals afford US nothing. They
ment on the kings excursions to Sevfes
and ST Cl nd, and repeat the often before
repeated rumors of the retreat of the Ali
ID troops but whether tie terms Of Peace
be or be net concluded, we hope the Al
lis VIII not withdraw from France until
they see ali the parts of the social machine
In regular and accordant operation. In the
name of humanity let us not have the
prospect OF a new revolution the moment
this unhappy nation is left to itself Let
us sc the laws put in full and vigorous o.
peration, the most dangerous criminals
punished, and the others removed from all
p ssbility Of ag in disturbing the order OF
the world Times.
