hope. this persuasion, had guided all his ac,oos but,
unfortunately, the events of the last revolution had

The London Courier holds the following language
respecting the reply Of the King of the French to the
Belgian Deputies, which published Yesterday:
''Ihe reply OF Louis Philip is, TO certain extent
sensible enough but do not understand the motive
OF the delay which occurred between the positive an
nouhcement oil the intention TO refuse the Crown OF
Belgium and the declaration 10 the Belgian Deputies
III there had been no underpot in this business the
Reputation would have received their answer imme-
diaely alter their arrival in Paris. That the King
has been sincere however there can be no doubt but
we regret that in the present exasperaed state of pub.
lie eelng in France, and the hatred of foreign nlu-
ence he should not have put his refusal OF the Crown
LOT me DUKE oil Nemours upon any other footing than
dread of war.
The French nation will not entertain strong opi-
mon OF their Chief after such excuse when he could
nave found so many others honorable 10 himself
and 10 the nation Why did he not state that as one
oil ne meda'ng powers, he conceived there would be
gross improperly in accepting the crown for member
of his family and thus have gained credit for decacy
and sense oil justice, instead OF mourning odium for
imidity? This would have been a manly excuse
but any excuse would have been better than that which
he has assigned; Tor, although every respectable man
IN france, who loves the prosperity of his country
must acknowledge the importance OF the motive which
Louis Philip has assigned, there very few persons
we believe, whose vanity has not been wounded by
hls admission oil 1t by their ruler. The truth how
ever Is, that Louis Philip, although a very good is
rather weak man, and that he possesses but little OF
that knowledge of chracter which is requisite in So
yereign situated he is. His intentions are pure and
his love OF country is undoubed but, generally speak
ing, he wants energy; and when he displays any he
mas not skill enough 10 adapt to the amour proDre of
MS people, 1T is fortunate for Louis Philip that the
personal attachment Of Lafayette, and the Increasing
age OF that enthusiastic but mistaken Republican, pre-
vent his becoming the rival of his sovereign An am
bilious and unprnciped man, with half the influence
which Lafayette possesses the National Guard and
the nation at large, would this public acknowl
edgmeht OF timidity by Louis Philip and his unwse al
lusions in private TO the gigantic and irresistible powers
of Russia and Prussia into unaing sources of excite
Inent and irritation against him. But other Lafayetes
in power, with differently tempered minds NAV rise
The King OF the French should use little moe
caution" 80
