A FRENCH OPINION OF ENaLAND.-The
Paris Univers, a Roman Catholic journal,
thus speaks of the present state of feeling in
France towards Great Britain:
sFrenchmen do not like England. They
have their reasons for their dislike, reasons
of which the English may be proud, but
which should not be met with too great dis
dain. Amidst all our discord and divisions
there exists word-perhaps it is the only
one-which speaks to all hearts, even to
those which appear to have lost their nation
ality through study or through enthusiasm
for foreign laws and customs On the Py.
renees, along the shores bathed by the ocean
in the plains of Asatia, and of Sologne, in
the streets of our towns, in mansions and in
novels, in workshops, and even in banking
establishments, that word, once pronounced,
would excite the same eagerness, the same
inexhaustible vigor. This may be termed
a vulgar passion, but not 80 vulgar but that
reason has failed in restraining it for . time,
and may continue to restrain it; but it would
take centuries to extinguish that sentiment,
while to let it loose would be the work of an.
instant. England should wish that this mo-
ment may never arrive; she should desire
this the more, since, having identified her
cause with that of the revolution, she poss-
esses no longer the friends on whom she
counted at the commencement Of this CEN
tury, and since the events of late years have
considerably diminished the prestige Of Wa
terloo. She no longer possesses the strength
derived from her triumphs and this is one
Of the facts which Is known To The present

but my terrible, fatal habit brought me here
ine1orably. Yes: and yet-and yet dare
to hope-I do not yield to utter despair
Lost lost p that rung in my my ears
long time. But tits no longer my haunting
dream !-Will-come closer-you see I'm
faint.
Here Marquis paused for some moments,
overcome by weakness, and grasping for
breath.
Poor and-wretched,' he added in a
murmur, Il try-to trust in my Saviour
Will-my dear old friend-take care Of my
wife-and my child ... ...,-.
The voice died away, and soon afterwards
Mrs. Cotesbury and Aurora were warned
that too much excitement was injurious to
the invalid.
1t is only to spare their feelings said the
old physician as the door closed, 'he cannot
live another hour. $50.
And so it proved. In less than an hour
Marquis Cotesbury had passed away; the
cold body which lay before me was all that
remained of that splendid and matchless
being. The soul had fed to the awful ac-
count with its Creator. Let me not dare to
penetrate that veil and speculate upon the
mysteries it shrouds. ~
shall pass over year now, and termiate
my narrative in few words. I was left the
executor of my friends estate, and his will
directed that a life.interest in his entire
property should ensure to his wife, to revert
on her death to her daughter in fee.simple; |;
and in case of Aurora's death without issue
the immense property was to 60 to various
benevolent institutions.
Mrs. Cotesbury died in less than year
after her husband, and Aurora never lived
to reach seventeen. The unhappy scenes Of
her childhood seemed to have broken her
strength, and she passed away Ia decline
which terminated her days. I was with her
when she died, and we had much converse.
tion about her father, my friend, whose
memory she seemed to love and cherish with
sort of fearful fondness, which impressed
me strangely.
I remember the smile on her face az she
was going away from me; it was like that
upon the wan countenanceo Of Marquis Cotes-
bury. We placed her pure and unpolluted
flesh in grave between her mother and her
father. There, waiting the final trump,
they take their. repose. May they rest in
peace, and rise to the life everlasting-the
roses blooming on their graves be changed
to the pure lilies of eternal peace.

LAFAYETTE.-The sympathy for Ameri.

weak but amiable Duke of Gloucester. In
July he crossed the channel, with the view
to inspect the citadels of France. When

America later than the retreat of the British
from Concord, and the surprise of Ticonder-
