FROM FRANCE.


In fbc annexed TRANSACTIONS from on
Freneh papers, it viii be seen thal lhs
march Of the Holy Alliance is ever for
ward Aftef reducing fiIe people To au.
tonaiaas, II now seems that the n,ino,
seyeregas are 10 be looked upon, upt a.
fee agents Ia do within their own d0min-
inns, Whatever superior intelligence aud
some more finely touched leeiings ndthi
inspire, for the happiness OF thcir people,
bur as plUconslllS as it were of thai three
headed monster, for even france seem,
ashamed of this proceeding which calls
itself the Holy Alliance. We allade 10
tue displeasure which Russia, Prussia, and
Austria, have by Withdrawing their Minis
ter from Statgard, manifested against the
King of Wirtembufg for The sole crime of
having granted constitution to bis sch
jets.
We recommend to our readefsthe article
from the Constitutional, on this subject
which with all the Ifammt4s OF censorship,
Still exposes freely 4 stronSly the emit Y as
well us absurdity OF such Il doctrine. As a
part Of the sumo system we give the decree
ofthe Gernanic Diet, suppressing the news
paper called the German Observer, not the
and echo Of drspotlsn published in the OBJ
Doxious city III Stutgprd.
In Paris too it would seem, that liera-
tnre and politics are dangerous matters to
meddle with, since, hy a pamphlet OF ii Mr.
Barglnet lhinsellin prison. it would appear
that there are three huadrei persons con-
fined in French prisons for literary and
political Offences who are treated like fe
lons, clothed in a prison dress aud chained
in some instances side by side with gal
ley slaves. Happy America where even
the report ofsuch abuses seems almost in
credible.
Of news from the armies in Spain, there
Is none of importance which has not been
received through the medium OF the Eng
lisb papers.
TranS'ations from, French Papers.
The three northern powers have with |
drawn their ministers from Siutgaid.-
Such an event naturally eXcites public at
tentiOn and gives rise to yar'oas questions. |
Is this a measure, il is asked, Of The three
courts merely, or is it an act 0i the Holy |
Alliance But if of this latter, why does
NOT France cooperate in ii ? Is the holy |
Alliance dissolved, or IS its business divided |
into departments ? Are Prussia, Russia
and Austria, which have already repriman-
ded SPAN aud which NOW censures Wiz
temburg, charged with the itctWiag de-
partmenl? And Is France, winch has ta-
kenno pat in these admonitloDs and which
has been making war whilst the others
have contunted themselves with simple
rtprimand, is France IT, have the more dit
hclilt aud costly department OF execution
Or, finally hay oar tlmld and uncertain
ministry begged IL he excused from this
new measure on the ground OF having lis
hands full with its Spanish job: Persons
who pretend to be IN the secret have AREA
d. solved tins di1iculty. The French M
usfer, ii IS said, WAS happily absent FROM
Statgard at the time, aud by merely pro-
longing this absence no Will he 10 ienFer al
Stlgard, without having, neyeglheless,
Withdrawn from it.
However th, may be, it is clear that
the rlgor exercised towards Nirtemburg,
is as to that cabinet mInatory deelara-
ton, and 4hat il is placed without the Law
OF Verona. This act proves that the .juris
prudence of the Holy Alliance is not very
stable, aud tttot it changes at the very mo
ment when one might have surprised il
determinateIy fixed. II seemed after all
the acts Of that congress, and acced'fg II
the constant mngua5c addressed by the
French Ministry to Spain, it seemed thai
this maxim, at least would be held sacred
-" that Kings are the only and true legs
Idtots of their people," Every ihB5
seemed to prove that it VAS IN uualtoraIlc
dogma of the Holy Alliance, that al! power
belonged to Kings, and thy alen" had the
right to acknowledge and satisfy the wants
of their subjects. This maxim, winch re-
dneed nations 10 thp necessity Of waiting
until the reason of thrir princes w. ma
tTed, would seem sufficiently safe iol
princes who could have 40 causr to dread
that their subiects.would become awakened
too soon.
hissrcmed enough to satisfy monarchs,
and ifmattcrs had stopped here, there re-
MANNED AT least Gnc chance for human "a
tnre-a reasonable king, a Marcus AureIing
on the throne. This chance has re- nntly
occurred. Some prices Of Germany,
whose nearer approach TO, and knowledge
Oh their people made them best acquainted
with their wants, had anticipated their de
hands by granting them constitutions
According to the doctrine of the Octro3
Ii was TO be presumed that these princes
would be permitted to contribute in the
manner they judged most eXpedient, to The
happiness OF their ON subjects. Not So
this doctrine, Tor which two wars have al
ready bren made, those of Italy and Spain,
for which human blood has lowed, is no
longer certain. The king Of Wirtenburg
isno longer Judged worthy Of the high
confidence Of The Holy Alliance. b. IS decent
I'd even less capable than Ferdinand the
seventh Of governing his kingdom.
