CoNsrANIIsoPLE, aug. 5, 1850.
To tho Editors Of TIE TSsbuns:
Before write more accurate ACCOUNT OF she
real condition Of aars in chile country, ana ns'ore
examine how much the Modem law on the fauailys
or Mt least the Musislmans law respecting the TIES
between man and woman, parents aud children, @
to be regarded as the cause OF that condition, L
think il better to turn back to tho Euro-
pean world, and to draw few brief sketches o.
the actual state of it's different and nations
placed az they are under heavy yoke which
weighs them more than ever to the dust. In 40
doing shall have to trace pictures which 90 you.
the happy inhabitants of r. free and we'll regulated
country, may appear false or exaggerate', but
which are, nevertheless, perfectly correct
And to begin with the nation loading or pres
tending to lead all others on the way of progress
and liberty let US say that Fratce has never been
worae nor more .yranncally ruled than now. Nevs
er, from the dreaded Committee Of Public Safety
till this day existed in France rule disdainfuI
of all political and national right or feeling as the
brutal and clumsy government OF the Napoleonia
President. You are well aware OF the sntecedenta
ofthe man. His obstinate endeayors to ovorthroW
the established government Of Louis Philippe, and
bis repeated appeals 10 the national choice between
that King and his own pretenaionS, had impressed
the multitude with q strong belief that, whatever
might be the Princes faults, he would strictly reg
pect the popular will and woull never revolt
against IT, And when, after the February revolu.
ton, he came out roiserating that appeal and Offer
ing himself TO the national ohoice 1t was that very
belief tt at made him acceptable TO greater part
Of the French people. The election was after all
a very difficult business. General Cavaignac rep
resented at that period the Moderate Republicans,
or in other words the incpient reaction. Ledru-
Rolin was accused Of pecuniary transactions unit.
,iDg him for the Chief Magistracy OF the country;
whilAt Prince Louis Napoleon represented nothing
at the time, but great, chsrished, and glorious
name, and unlimited respect for the popular will.
True it s, moreover, that the various parsiaans OF
monarchy had, previous TO their adopting him, az.
certaned his real Intentions, so tina. their sympa-
thies were bestowed upon him, as the failure deg
troyer Of the Republic, tho arm that was to over
throw the barrier which kept out from France and
the Tuileries the young Count Of Pari9, Or the
Count OF Chambord.
Words are unable to express the childish delight
with which the President saw himself honored
with he apparent regard of the Ministers Of the old
regime. 1t was the rapture Of the school. boy ges
ting suddenly on equal footing with his own mas
tors, gentlemen most dreaded, who had Aoggedhi

Preaident, g very embodiement Of powell All his
roles were then forgotten. Those who had laughed
at him, ahfugged their shoulders shook their heads
at him, who had long given hmup as past all re-
dempton from folly and abaurdity those veFyjudges
who feared to inHcs upon him any severe caas-
