THE LATE EVENTS.


The revolution which has taken place
in France, is much in thestyle of those So
often occurring in the Turkish provinces:
the Pacha of Paris being reinstated by
the soldiers; is an event not more sur.
prising than it is lamentable. A nation
hitherto esteemed one of the most ciyi.
lied in Europe, which has long claimed
pre- -eminence in learning, in politeness,
in the social arts; the diffusion of whose
language and manners had extended her
influence further and more lastingy than
the prowess of her arms-this nation has
at once fallen under the yoke of mill
tary banditti, headed by an adyenturer
of congenial habits and pursuits. There
is no longer any doubt that the military
and the populace of some great towns,
are devoted to Bonaparte. and incapable
of bestowing a thought upon rival
Louis XVIII. is universally esteemed e.
ven by the men who dethrone him but
he us not TIE man they want. They want
not peace, they hate labor, and are jea-
lous of the Importance which the wealth
resulting from industrious ingenuity may
produce. They desire chief WHO shall
lead them to battle as to necessarya'
musement, WHO shall hold out to item
the hopes of pil!age and adventure, 50
much more agreeable to banditti than the
fruits of industry, the sweets of rePOse.
Bonaparte's conquests did not devastate
Germany so much as his institutions have
devastated France, in France he has de-
moralised the generation of his day. The
youth lave been bred up to habits Of
plunder and blood and desolation;a
Cypress ike tyrants and obey like slaves
He has created race to carry his dess''
into execution; such arace was ecess''
ry to him, and now he is necessary 70

peasant and artisan in France, as wen
as over the population of Germany ia'
