CITY OF GRANVILLE:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .JULK p.


The NEWS From FRANcE,-We publish this
morning the details of the late outbreak in
France, which will be read with interests by
every American. Although we were prepared
10 hear that difficulties had occurred in the
adoption of constitution, we are deeply
panied TO learn the severe loss Of life, and
that too without a cause SO far as we can dis
cover. The whole difficulty was occasioned
BY misunderstanding among the people. or
rather misrepresentation of certain officials
words by designing demagogues. What hand
the Bonapartist had in the affair, if any, does
not appear.
The North American publishes the news
and adds.
TIE news from France falls upon the ear
like the sound of death-bell, tolling the bu-
rial of a thousand fond hopes and proud
dreams of the progress OF human freedom.-
"What piece of work is man, mobile in
reason infinite in facuItesl in action, like an
angel in apprehension, like godp' And yet
"eight or ten thousand men -freemen-breth-
ren-Frenchmen-lie dead in the streets of
Paris, slain by each others hands, after a
four days battle, or massacre, about what
nothing! The republic secured--it was four
months old; the Constitution in the very course
of being adopted and solemnly proclaimed by
the National Assembly; liberty perfectly safe
"liberty, equality fraternity was there
to fight about-or even form Paris? In
America, we cannot understand these things:
Ill tt,ot - l..
formed in advocacy of the various socialistic
theories which have found such favor in France;
but we don't comprehend the necessity of quar-
relling about them-of substituting barricades
for arguments, and grape and conister for the
bloodleas superiority of the ballot-box.
What do we know-and appreciate-and
feels, that democratic liberty, in America,
has fourished, for three quarters of a century
in peace-has fourished well-better than il
ever fourished before, in war, and even the
Imagination of civil conflict we look upor
witha supers:itious fear, while always aboring
to avert the reality, as the almost inevitable
agent of national destruction.
II is in vain for us, however, to speculate
thus early, upon thisawful calamity. We dc
not yet know, perhaps, all its causes; no
can we calculate all its consequences. Al
that is certain is, that it will revive the dying
hopes of monarchs and monarchists, all owe
the WORLD and that, in The United States, i
will cause universal surprise and mourning.
In the midst of what is so distressing, Their,
is, at least, this consolation,- which is not
small one. The Republic of France has no
fallen. 1t was the republic which contendet
in arms against some of her erring children
whom she has chastised with a terrible severi
ty, for what, it cannot be doubted, was sedi
tious assault. The republic survives. 1t only
remains for US to lament the occurrence ant
dread the results of an event which under al
the circumstances, cannot but be regarded
rs one equally sad, unnatural, and portentous
