A FRENCH ENTERPRISE.
The directors Of the Rouen and Havre Railroad
Company have terminated with Messrs. Brassy &
Mackenzie the most gigantic contract Of the kind eve
er yet undertaken in France The works already
contemplated and engaged for will nearly mil
lion sterling. These will include bridge at Rouen,
seven tunnels Of an extent Of 1000 yards and via
duct oftwenty arches in the vale Of Barentn.
THE FRENCH AND THE GOVERNMENT.
Louis Philippe notwithstanding his untring efforts
to strengthen the anchors of the Monarchy, and to
prevent any further outbreaks in France, having in
view change Of Government, still continues to en-
counter many difficulties. He is assailed with great
bitterness by the Republican and other opposition
journals and all sorts of predictions made as to
his approaching downfall. A letter before from
Republican source, says that certain nations carry
within themselves the elements of their own fate
and these principles become apparent to even eyes
little accustomed to philosophical scrutiny At all
events, the present condition Of France presents no
political enigma to the eye; and however arxuously
the admirers and the literary organs Of falling
monarchy may endeavor to assert the safety and
tt.Io IF hotr
against it the popular will condemns it the popular
interest repugnan TO it, Republication is the only
system which can henoeforth find favor in country
which has seen too much, and suffered too much to
remain welded to old notions of government Every
body IN France is awaiting change; and there are.
few speculations as to the kind of change which &
take place. Regrets constantly poured forl6kSt
Lafayette did not establish the Republic at once when
ne had the power to do so in 1880; and f-but this
is only were not then prepared
and ripe for Republican form of government, the
misdeeds of Louis Philippe, and the arbitrary pro-
eeedngs OF his Minister'S have since somodelled the
popular mind, that while monarchy is detested and
abhorred the pure institutions Of the Democratic sys
tenn are looked forward to with anxiety and burning
hope.''
Another letter says-"The fact is, that the people
Of France, well other countries Ealing Them
selves free, placed between two perls. IL they
remain quiet, while they are badly governed, their
apathy is mistaken for adhesion to the policy Of the
powers that be and if they camor for change, they
aredeemed seditinns. and are pnniahedx The oss.a.
Of the Government recommend confidence and yet
that confidence b to be placed IL 4 Government
which violates every principle Of liberty, and uses
prisons, bayonets and bases to support its tyranny
Confidence in such is neither deserved, nor OBJ
tanned !"
The writer adds :-"Thc whole country is in q
state of fermentation, let travellers and politicians
talk as they will. Any who merely strolls into
cafe will be enabled TO corroborate this statement"
Very little importance, however, is to be attached TO
speculations like the above. But VIC have exhausted
our limits for TO day. f4
