petted and arplauded monarch of France: who's
life, when in his early reign threatened with assa,
sinatinn, was regarded as so important to the we
fare of his Subjects that they PRAYED for him a
"Louis the well-belOved." There are no sighs no
prayers now; the lease of love is long since w0r
out! Subjects are weary of his extravagant rule
virtue Shudders at his name. so man ever NOR
dreaded to die. Though he sometimes, in yer
morbdness, visited graves and sepuIchres, he wa
ordinarily impatient of the slightest hint on til
subject OF his own death. 1t was however, com
at last, and every foul thought which the hot-bet
OF his own depraviiy had engendered, gibberet
round him like spectres, in his diving hour.

no hope better than that which arises

worthy OF confidence is at least recorded. COur-
tiers' booted and spurred. await in awful silence
the close OF the drama. Favorites have departed
anna the execrations Of those who remain. The
kings ante-chamber is crowded bv anxious multi-
tudes who await in impatient silence the last intel
hgence. 1t is over. The noise Of thunderin-
pody OF courters, rushing in haste to pay their re-
sPccls 10 the new monarch, proclaim to the Dau-
pun ana Dauphlness that their predecessor had
ceased to reign. The lfeless remains are left in

kings of France!
OUR NATIONAL TROUBLES IN ENGLAND.
From the London Times ApriI5I
IL Is one OF the mlstortunes OF the American svs-
TEN oi government that the Executive is excluded
from the Legislature, and that consenuentIv. when
any dlHerence OF opinion arises as to the intentions
OF the government or the construction of it's acts
there Is nobody there to decide it authortativelv
Mr.. Douglas may read the inaugural MESSAGE in
one way, Mr. Breckinridge may expound it in an
other; put they have no more assistance from the
government in Interpreting its acts than they
WouId nave IN interpreting the acts of wash
lDgtOn or Jefferson. Thus any amount Of political
mystiiica-ion may 60 on for almost any time, and
the government, instead of being forced to declare
Its real meaning, as among US, by single question
across Ike table in Parliament can preserve as long
as 1t peaSes an ambiguous and uncertain attitude
The government has put forward what it calls a
declaration OF its policy and is now understood to
be deberating what the policy which it had de-
cIared a month ago is really to be. We will not
pretend to offer opinion on a question on which
men so well informed as MIR. Douglas and Mr.
BTecklnridge differ widely, but will content
ourselves with expressing the earnest hope that,
whatever b. the deliberations of the government
they VIII lead to pacific solution, and that we

OF that influence in the world which a single con-

exercise power sufficient for all legitimate ends.
Let American statesmen ponder well over the
Fourth of July orations to which thev have liz
tened from their early youth, and they will find
there abundant proof how great is the error where
two nations speak the same language and belong
to the same race of striving to perpeuae by force
and blOodshed a Union which has ceased to be one
of friendship and goodwill. If the English gov

then, for Great Britain to express any diplomatic
