the French republic in lS4S. Without analyzing the
truth and fiction, the fact and the poetry of this de-
claraon, looking at the different crcumstan in
which Napoleon, France and Europe then placed
and the different policy required both st home ana
marines preudces against the only man that France
remembers with alteration, and who did more for
France-for liberty In France and Europe-did more
to break up old despotic dynasties and inspire the
people with desire to be freein word for the

crowned heads that sat upon European throne.
and the present revolution and progress Of ideas in
Europe. Lamartines own seat as representative in
France, under republic, and is the fruit of
Napoleon's policy, foreign and domestic. Napoleon
plougbod Europe-planted 1t with the seeds of mans
freedom and he plougbed 1t with the sword it
because no instrument less pointed would penetrate
the surface that had been prepared for at through
ages of despoism Lamartine has done much good in
appeasng the troubled waters and think his foreign
policy at this moment has been well conducted but
his prejudice against the Bonaparte family is excess
sive-blinds his Judgment, and shows that his Eng
lish connections have not made him any better
Frcnchman-and that, in early life, when he first
imbibed his prejudices against Napoleon, he himself
was net republican that he was in prncipe-what
he was in fact-a disciple Of the royast school, in
which he served long Lamartine is a noble man-has
n noble heart-but he must forget to derive his les
sons from the counsels of England or royasm, and
stihe his prejudces against Napoleon or he have
no perma nent standing in France. The name of Ma.
poecn in France is too precious to be rudey dealt
with by any Frenchman. All the republicans, in the
old and new world revere the memory of Napoleon,
and despots are his reyilers. Lamartine might have
been replied to- that he reved the very spirit which
had given him political existence at that moment
and the very basis upon which the present republic
stood Napoleon fought the battles of the present
pubc-inspired Europe with respect for the power of
France that is not limited to age. What would
have been the present example to Europe but for the
foundation laid by Napoleon? OBSERVER.
