France.

Louis Philippe is dethroned! The crisis
in France, so long predicted, in consequence
of the unconstitutional acts ola corrupt Crown
and more corrupt Ministry has arrived. The
most glaring usurpation ever committed up
on the liberties of mankind, under the mask
of Freedom, has been rebuked by a popular
outbreak, wherein we know not which char
acteristic is best entitled to admiration-the
virtue of its moderation, the energy Of its
Indignation, or the manly respect it has e.
WINGED for its W dignity. The monarch,
who but a few days since could say, as did
his predecessor, 81 am France"-who was
planning the s%ubjugation Of Spain, the par
tition of Switzerland, the continued enslave-
ment of ltaly-who had violated his most
solemn pledges in order to agrandize his fam
lily, gagged the press, ard triled with the
hottest aspirations Of his subiects-that mon
arch was, when last heard from, a refugee at
his palace on the sea shore at Flu. He had
been forced to flee from his capital, where he
was guarded by 100, 900 trained soldiers, well
munitioned, shielded at once by the consti-
tutional egis of the law, ard the almost i'm.
pregnable citadels which he erected in order
to enforce his despotism, under the command
of an experienced chieftain. Adynasty which
he has been consolidating for the last seven.
ty years, sparing neither pains, expense oil
Chicanery, has been swept away as a spiders
web by the manifested will of tho people,
without the use of as many arms as would
fill Diana's culver; or comparatively spea-
king, any serious loss of lie. And although
we know that there are in France evil and
fiery spirits, ever ready.to deform what has
been begun under such favorable auspices,
they will not, we sincerely trust, be able to
bring about a state of radical anarchy, with
the renewal of the frightful scenes ofthe aFs'
revolution. The French cannot possibly have
