the Ilfes probably have conspited ibe psriitieh
Of +, F,ance-They dread The intelligence and
bravery Of her people, and hope TO consecra,e
despotism by their destruction. They who
divided Poland and Saxony, are as familiar
with butchering national independence, as a
gambler is with packing his cards. To what
other end DO they impose The most despic.-
bio Of kings upon her /! AS the people must
hate him irrec oncieabiy, they will not be dis
posed TO rally round his standard TO resist ag-
gression or sublugalion: and If they depose
or resist him, it will be pretec for dividing
and despoiling France.
Some wars have been peculiarly denomin-
ated barbaroas We have read OF none SO troly
savage as he:prcsent. For, when the Huns
nd Golhs, and other northern tribes ovefan
The Roman provinces, the historian must own
that ,ffemlnalc slaves were vanqui,hed by
rude frcemen aud the ieudd system which
grew up, was no worse Than The debasiDg
thraIdom which was put down. But, this
war, in which kings are principals, priests
auxiaries, and The people blind instruments,
IS undertaken TO exterminate the last vesuge
Uf popular ishts. Kings are TO exercise nn.
iimIted rule as a right the people are TO OBJ
serve passive obedience as duty. And, no
country so likely, they think, TO interrupt the
prospect of "a mouarchical milcnnlum as
France an ample reason why all the vuitures
oil royalty are 10 be ieasied ON her beautiful
fields. RapIne and violence were ever tcrfi-
bic enough when one victorious nation has
spread Iis hosts over the territories OF Its
ncighbors how inlolerable must military ex-
actions be, which all Europe forces from
soii;Rry people, vanquisbed and unresistlng
In the former casc, rapaciiy was lessseLed by
discussion, in the present it is aggravated by
concentration. But let us drop the curtain
on this part OF the subject
1t is deplo able, that the trcachery OF such
politicians as Fouehe, tends 10 discourage un-
ion By destroying confidence. Were 1t not
for this obstacle, we would indulge hopes ct
the speedy resuscitalion Of FrAnce-bu,, the
scorpions within and the harhits without,
leave little room for hope. Russia and Eng
land have separate but similar motives Tor
concurrence IN bouing OUT FIance-thc one
wishes no rival on the land the other resolves
10 remove all competition at sea. Prussia
wishes vengeance or II she did not, The Two
great powers can bribe or bully all The lesser
ones into consent. Austria may find when II
is TOO late, that she ought rather 10 have re-
sisted Russia when there was France TO
support her, than when she is LETT alone to
struggle with the most formidable power on
the conunent.
Excepting the United States Of America,
The whole world is governed by force, corrup.
lion and imposlure.- Columbian.

INTERESTING LETTERS +!

Cohy Of a letter from an intelligent gentleman
-, Peris, 10 the Edifor Of tie Boston Pat
riof, dated dug. 6, 1878.
Dear Sill cannot describe 10 you tho
wretched state Of disg,aced and detected
France. Her army composed Of 100000
men, has been melted down by descrlion and
/ disorganization. TINS is the wish OF the al
lies they have pursuaded. the good old King.
TO the measure of disbanding them, and thus
the country falls an easy prey 10 these borCes,
who amount to about 10000 men stationed
10 different points. The PrusSians commit
the greatest depre dations, for which they arc
paid by the English who, though they wish
the des,i uetion of all the manufactures Of
France, rather hire these barbarians who
have such good reason to do the work in re-
venge that they do 1t with pleasure. All the
monuments of the arts have been piliaged.
The journals began TO complain OF these
things, but the Prussian Governor has noti-
fed 10 m, that he will hang any of them
thai liz ialure says a word agains, the Prus-
slams. Louis is no more king Of France
than | attn. He is at the mercy OF the allies,
and darcs not take single step without their
consent. II is said, however, that through
the magnanimous Alexander the county is
not To be dismembered. A contribution Of
500 millions Is only TO be paid, and $4,000
torcign troops are TO be kept at the expense of
of the king twelve months in the country.
Napoleon has no party in France HE is
lost forever bot the party who supported
him still exists, and never will be recOnciled
10 the Bourbons. All the military Of every
rsU anj grade, some few Of the superior
officers excepted, a:c opposed to them, as
well as all the persons pu, in place by Ms
polcon, and all ,hs owners OF national estates,
feckoned at 100000 in number, together
with good part of the peasan,ry, who fear
the return OF the mobiles aud the tyranny OF
the piiests.-The most distinguished men
tor talents and bravery are Of this opposition !;
l therefore do not see how it is possible 20
cxpec, tranquility in France for any length
OF ,ime. The Court are thought to be devo.
ted to England, while the nation at large haze
her more than ever. American citizens find
themselves very uncomfortable in France
The Court and their party hate US. They
consider our revolution AS the cause OF theits,
aud they consider us as a band Of dcle stable
Republicans and Bonapartis,s. We have
been obliged to tske down our national coc.
kade. Al Bordeaux, several Americans
have been insulied by the Anglo-Gallican
faction, and the house OF our respectable
American Consul there has been pointed on,
to the mob as an object for their attention !;
bot lucsily their Vaccinations had no evil
| consequence, though they threa,encd TO pull
down the arms Of the United States over his
door. For prudence sake he has quit the
city with his es,imable family for few weeks,

For some days preceding, remarkable
change in his manner had been observed.

Duke of Bavaria) J, told him, he was charm-
