The Foreign Ncws-Our Foreign Private Corr
respondence.
We give in our columns to-day, nearly the whole
of our private foreign correspondence, which we
received yesterday from Boston, and which was
brought to that port by the steamer Niagara, from
Liverpool. We have drawn the attention of the
public, frequently, to the Ugh character which marks
the private foreign correspondence of the Neio
York Herald. In more especial manner, we now
invite readers to peruse attentivey the letters
from Paris, which we furnish in to-day's paper,
giving full and exceedingly graphic account of
the recent instruction of the socialists against
the National Assembly, which was fortunately put
down by the good sense and general union of all
parties in that great metropolis.
perusal of this exceedingly interesting cores
pondence, describing the recent scenes in Paris
is equally, and perhaps more deeply, interesting
than the famous history of similar events which
recorded by Lamartine in his history of the Giron
dists. There is striking and remarkable analo-
gy in the circumstances, the ideas, the cries, the
policy, and the efforts of those nsurrectionists,
with many of those which took place under the
old republic during the regime Of the old conven-
ton. Fortunately, however, the socialists, or
modern terrorists, including the Fouriertes and
the communists of the sections, have not the ply
steal power or the intellectual capacity which their
ancestors of the old revolution possessed, under
the leadership of Robespierre and st. Just. The
French public men of the present day have more
practical knowledge of public affairs, and their
leaders unite more practical courage with ply
steal energy, than the Girondists of the old revou
ton did. 1t is curious coincidence, indeed
that Louis Blanc's personal appearance, man.
ners, dress, and demeanor resemble in a
strong degree those traits which distinguished the
Robespierre of former age. Bat the Girondists
of 1913 are different of men and politicians
from those of the last century, led on by Madame
Roland and her coterie. Ledru Rolln may be ia
ken to be the Danton of the present republic For
tunately, however, Lamartine snatched him
from the centre of the socialist camp, took him
into the executive committee, and by dividing the
counsels and the strength of the socialists, con-
power of all the moderate and conservative Sec
tons in the National Assembly. 1t has also been
a very fortunate circumstance for the success of
the republic, that this insurrection was attempted
at the period at which it broke out. Had it been
delayed until divisions had taken place among the
great conservative parties it is likely that the i'm
pudent and audacious faction of terrorists though
greatly in minority, might have accomplished
more mischief and done more injury to liberty,
in divided assembly than they have done to enc
that is united.
This new and extraordinary phase of the French
republic, is most fully, clearly and remarkably de-
scribed in our private foreign correspondence,
furnished to our readers to-day.
We are more and more encouraged in the firm
conviction that the republic will be successful in
establishing its government, and maintaining its
position in the heart Of Europe. In some respects
the French people present similar characteristics to
the American people. Here, in the United States,
our business men-our practical politicians-those
useful persons who work silently in committee
are generally the delegates from the Northern and
Middle States, where you find the manufacturers,
the men of business, the fnanciers, and the whole
practical talent of the nation The most of the
splendid orators in Congress- and of our popular
leaders, are generally Southern men. 1t is
markable fact that similar characteristics prevail
in France. The French nation is composed of two
races-the Southern and the Northern. The South
ern supply the republic with all its splendid ora
tors, its fine poets, its exquisite historians its ORR
ginal philosophers, and its remarkable thinkers.
The Northern furnishes the bankers the men of bu-
sness, the manufacturers, the mechancians, the
practical lawyers, and all men of real practical ia
lent. United together IN a National Assembly, we
have the strongest faith in their ability to produce
a useful and working constitution for France,
and to give it such a form of republican govern
ment as will place the the thrty-sx millions
forming the French republic, far ahead of every
other nation in Europe. If peace be preserved in
Europe, and the factions that cry out for foreign
war can be put down, there is no danger or difficult
ty before the French republic. She has an army
and navy, stationed on the land and naval from
tiers, sufficient to protect her from the whole of
Europe around her; but to her physical and intel
lectual power of defence, may be added the revo-
lutionary condition of Germany, Italy, England,
Ireland, the Netherlands, all around her. The
imperial despot Of the North, with all his power
and all his hatred TO democracy, dare not touch
France, if she chooses to preserve peace, TO keep
within her own limits, TO organise her own inter-
nal government, and take care of her own inte-
rests
Such is the position of the great European rcpub-
lic--noble, glorious, and encouraging to all the
friends of liberty throughout the world May Cod
protect her IN all that is right, and pardon her in
all that she is wrong!
