The last mum Der of the W estminster keVie"
contains, what seems to us, to be tair az
count of the Imperial policy and government
of France, and the state and condition oi
that country, under the rule OF LOUIS Napo-
leon. The present apparent submission OF
all classes to the chains which have been
thrown upon the national spirit, has never
deceived US as to what must be the real oPin-
ions of the rejecting people of that country
in reference to their situation; DOR has the
tyranny of force been mistaken by us Tor
skill, Weldon and patriotism. IL would al
most seem impossible that, with the recol!ec-
.ions of the past, France could very long be
happy and oonsensed, under government
which silences public opinion, muzzses the
press, proscribes the free expression OF
thought, grssps all power 10 its own hanos'
subjects q nation to the coercion of the mill
tary, places an Army over People, and gives
On absolute MASTER to great nation, COL
tanning thousands of men the superiors, In
eyery respect, of that Master. We do not
depreciate the qualities OF Louis Napoleon
bot we do reject and disbelieve the batteries
of his adulasors and tools at home and
abroad. As to the Slavery of France, under
biz authority, it is complete. How long it
will last, We cannot say-as We have re.
marked it would seem that it could not be
endured for any great lapse of years-or, at
least. be continued under his dynasty.--
When France does once again rise in her
strength to shake of Despotisn,--may she
have judgment enough to choose and sustain
. free government, founded upon law, order
and Justice!

The Baltimore and Poson,ac Railroad.

The parties proposing to construc. rail-

obtain subscriptions to the amount of S34,-

truth lie, the business of the country 1t is de-
