The monarch who yesterday was surrounded by

indebted for his life to the compassionate iorbea
OF people to whom he showed no pity.
Again, as in 80, the practical powers of Govern
mem devoved upon the Representatives of the p.o

constitutions, was Etc public ,oW Their wisdom
aud moderation was alone wanting 10 the spiri,
and forbearance manifested by the people to
crown this interesting event with n lustre us inner

approved himself the true friend of freedom, and Of

their prosperity, the thought arises how largely he
himself has contributed, fighting from youth to age

OF un cmbamed and n glorious memory in their
hearts forever To the administration Of the de-
par'ments, the provisional government has called men
OF tried fidelity TO the people, and of experience and
ability IN public affairs. To the head of the State hos
been called, the only Bourbon who ever sided with the
people man who fought ~ support of the Consti-

power as boon from the peope-who dare not there

changeis too sudden aud violent TO be lustIng-that

sentially distinguishes our own most happy and adm

and we may now add, the government of France
from all the other governments of the world. Ask
not whether government be Mona rchcal-ArIsto
