rEIs scULsTs.lANEous.

State of Ifance.-French politics still involve the fortunes of Europe. The pe- rier administration assert this, and they ascribe to their s.justice mlieun system the preservation of its repose. They have in appearance triumphed for the moment, and their. triumph has been accompanied by the catastrophe of po- land, the suppression ef Italian liberty, and an unsatisfactory arrangement of the affairs of Belgium. The great ob- ject of the disarming of Fusopeis is still, however, unaccomplished. Notwith- standing this, the funds, that political barometer, have risen, and seem to DOT tend atleasta a temporary serenity in the political atmosphere. It must be con iessed, if the Revolution stops here, it has not, to use o. P. Q's phrase, march cd far. The European Powers have gained their points, and the French Lib erals have lost their allies. It is hard Iy to be supposed that the French of 1852 will rest ratistied with this issue. or patient, under this virtual disgrace and retrogression of their cause. o. F.. q. says very firmly that they will not, and predicts in piain terms the downfall of the Perier administration He goes farther,and says the throne is in danger. The following extract from late letter isa sample of his bold and dashing tone, which has hitherto not been unlustifed by events.
 1 told the British public that NJ. Ga slmir Perier intended to follow a system of force approaching very nearly that of the Restoration and this is the sys- tenn he has followed. l told you that Poland was to be abandoned by Eng land and by France at moment when no one. would believe my statement, and France has consented to the dismember- ment and conquest Of that country. told yon that if the system of NJ. Perier should be followed up, he would have all the country against hin-and that he must resort to coup detat to support that system-and now what has occur red? Why, the coup d'etat have been struck, and FrancesiS indignant and preparing!
 And now I tell you that the French Revolution is not erminated-that the throne is in danger--that NJ. Casimir Ferler will be swept away with hissys- tenn in the rising torrent of popular and universal indignation-that he cannot maintain his ground--that he must be deteated; and the result will be that the French will establish another or Ger of things, and another Government far more poi,;;:il;;srr, popular, ;s;,d ;;d to Europe far more tcs-fiibb ti,cil ,rribiir 10 kings terrible 10 tyranny--tcrrible to the inqulsition--terfibfe to arbitrary pow er--and terrible to Europe, enslaved as she was, and is by some half dozen. tyrants.
 lie asserts that the divison and dis grace of France have awakened in the foes of the Revolution a hope that the bourbons will he recalled. This may demonstate the disappointmentoeeasion ed by the Perier system; but it pro- eeeds on a strange misapprehension of ,ne state of feeling in France. ssFrom fontarlier to Marseilles," i" says 0. ?.
