TIE REBELLION OF THE PRESIDENT OF
FRANCE

Since the time of Napoleon, no public pro
ceeding has taken place in France 70 be com
pared to this in high-handed audacity All the
usurpatiOns of the Bourbon family, after the
restoration, seem timd aud unenterprising by
the side Of this. II is not to be supposed that
France will quietly submit to zee form of gov
eminent solemnly agreed upon 10y the entire ma
ton, Ovcrthrown and swept away by the will of
one man, and that man so despcable in personal
character, 80 feeble in intellect and 50 little ac-
ceptable to the people as the present Chief of
the French Government. IL is not Of such stuff
that successful usurpers are made.
Accordingly it appears from the latest adj
vices bearing date the 5th of December that
there has been a bloody combat in the streets
Of Paris the particulars Of which cannot be OBJ
tanned, but in which the troops commanded
by men in the interest of the President were
successful. There is news of risings in the prov
inces and a general disquiet The end is not
yet-but for our part we can anticipate but
one result sooner or later, to this usurpation-
the disgraceful flight of the President, or the
loss of his head
Meanwhile, it is fortunate that if the state
of things which has been established in France
under the administration of this man. which
is, after ALL but an odious dcspotism was TO be
broken up by violence, it was kroken up by
himself and not by the republicans The re-
sponsibity of the bloodshed which will follow,
and of the confusion into which the country
will be thrown. must rest upon those who de-
sire to strengthen the French Executive, al
ready too strong for the public safety
The pretence of an election Of President by
universal suffrage is but shallow device, east
ly seen through; no popular election is intend
ed the army ~ to vote with the people, and
the President looks to the army to see that the
people coI.ter upon him the supreme power.
In this contcs all the citizens Of F.ance who
take part in favor on .h"riv viii be on the con-
sentative side, on the side of order, and in OPP
position to changes by violence. The insurrec-
ton is an instruction of the Chief Magistrate
against the constitution and laws of his coun-
try.-NeW York EUening Post.

THE GOVERNOR OF HUNGARY.

IL will be remembered that from the first
hour OF the landing of M Kossuth on the shores
OF America he has declared "that the People
OF the United States were bound in honor and
dutyto recognise the independence Of Hungary
as an existing factD and also to recognise and
respect him as the rightful Governor Of that
nation and that TO accomplish this purpose he
has repeatedly appealed to our citizens whom
ne has addressed to coerce their Government
into the adoption of his views
National Infeihgeneer
This is pretty fair specimen of the mimepre-
sensations Of the National Infeliigencer respect
ing Kossuth. We have read Kossutll's speeches
and requests and have seen nothing in them to
justify this statement Of the InteAigeneer He
has preferred humble request to the People
Of the United States-he wishes TO be recoe
missed as the Governor de jure of Hungary. He
does not ask the recognition of the Independence
Of Hungary "as an existing factn and Il is ut
tcrly untrue that he has at any time appeaied
to the People "to coerce the Government TO
the adoption Of his viewsp Ii il marvellous

P. S. You will do me the favor to publish
this entire, or send it back
Is it not marvellous that this man cannot dis
crlminate between an attack ON his conscience,
and an attack on his eonscieace-keepers be-
tween Opinion and Denuncidtion? between
the doctrines, rites and ceremonies of his church,
and the principles its rulers may choose to pro-
pound IN relation 10 Civii and Religious Free
dom! With the doctrines and ceremonials of the
Catholic church, we have nothing to do We
have never questioned them, or denounced
Catholics on account of them We have not
denounced them at all, or threatened them
with anything But their Pope and Priesthood
having proclaimed Principles at war with Civil
and Religious Liberty, we have proclaimed war
against them. The mitred Tyrant is no more
acceptable to us than the sceptred one. The
Pontiff who murders Liberty in Rome, is as
much an enemy of mankind, as the Car who
stranges it in Russia No true American will
tolerate either. Mr.. Kelly is very willing to
hear denunciatons of the Shareholder; he is
shocked at his violation of the rights of his fell
low-men but when, in obedience to our creed,
which repudates alike the slavery of body and
spirit, we denounce the Despot guilty of OPP

ance-this is travelling out of our sphere

that paper, 80 cautious as the Intelligencer
generally is, should hazard such a statement in
view of the following quotation from one of his
speeches, which completely exposes its m,srep-
resentation. Here is his icish and the reader
will judge whether there is anything presump-
tuous, imperious or coercive, in the manner 10
which it is preferred. Nothing is said of the
Independence of Hungary as an existing fact
80 my third IRISH is that the people of the
United States uould be pleased By all eonstitu-
fionai means Of its ironted public hfe TO declare
that acknowledging the legitimate character of
the Declaration of Independence of Hungaru It
is anxious 10 meet Hungary among the indeyend-

If this be not respectful, what is! If this be
not reasonable, what is! He prays that the
People of the United States, acknowledging
" the legitimate character of the Declaration
of Independence of Hungary and who but
the parasites of Absolutsm question it may
declare their anxiety to meet Hungary among
the independent Powers of the Earth"-and
do not ALL but the apoogists of Despotism, feel
this anxiety =" and inUite,' not "coeree," the
Government of the United States to recognise
this Independence at the earliest possible time

he could not ask-and it were impossible h

and without shadow of excuse

committed, having styled KOssuth in his mes
