be the foundation of a more friendly regard

SITUATION OF FRANCE

The following article is copied from the
London Morning Post, received yesterday at
the office of the Commercial Advertiser, by
The British packet. There is doubtless much
truth in the article, although the picture is
probably two or three shades darker, than
the actual state OF things in the French cap-
tai will warrant. 1t sets US right upon one
point, about which there has been we believe
general miSconcept'on in this country -
We allude to the election project, which is
the chIei cause of the present ferment in that
country. II seems that De Cazes, late mi
mister and adviser OF the king, managed to
procure repeal of the election law, which
was instituted at the return Of Louis XVIII.
with the charter itself This innovation.
saws the Morning Post, poisoned the very
springs and sources of representation and
threw the POW er into the hands OF the old ia
Goblin party. The king has been driven 10
dismiss De Cazes, and it has been found me-
cessary 10 restore the election law, as nearly
az possible TO what it was at the adoption OF
the charter ot Louis XVIII.
ALARMING STATE OF FRANCE.
The French revolution, sfier an uneasy
and teterish slumber, seems about to awaken
again; and whar may be the consequences
