PRICE SEVEN'PENCE.  FOR THE SUN.  FRANCE.  Mx. EntToß—lt amyl is s me not a little that you should lend your columns to ;he Republican, Or the Imperial, I care nor which, Anti-Royali.As of France. Yon' char yourself from the itnputa. Lion of concurring in their op pions ; hut wi,y do you publish them ?—A Correipondeot in a foreign country is valuable, very valuable, w!)ile he communicates the political events_of the day. or the probablities of .what may occur ; but 'your Parisian Correspondent has, of late, abandoned facts and conjectures for the mere expression of his own opinions; and his last Letter might ha-ve been entirely - spared, with the exception of its short postscript. It may be very convenient for your AntiRoyalist to " draw a over the Revolution, and the " sanguinary despotism " of thqt uhexecuted Miscreant at Saint Helen,' ; but he must not be allowed to criminate therewith the Royalists. When be terms the National Assemblyovit Is which :he French Rebellion Commenced,  " the  guarantee of peace and prosperity to Franec," he chews himself a Revolutionist ; and no man can be a friend to the Monarch, or the Monarchy, who desires to vindicate or to retain in France the slightest effect of her Revolution. This I say upon principle, upon strict pri. cil,le ; for I neither love France nor desire-tier prosperity. Upon strict and abstracted principle I assert that France is still Revolutionary, since she retains the Ordinances of her Revolution, si'd its spirit. I know not whether :her Royalists wish tobring,back her ancient laws, and I rare ; but if they accomplish that object, it?would be nothing but Counter-Revolution. Were I a Frenchman, as 1 thank my GM I am not, 1 should most probably be whit your Revolutionary Correspondent would call an Ultra. Royalist. I should desire to preserve the Monarchy, and account the Monarch 9s a secondary consideration ; and, for consistency's sake, it, indeed, a Frenchman ever desired to be consistent, I should wish toy King to he Louts the XVllth, in the fourth year of his reign ;_thereby,sanctioning, at/he has done by many acts, the measures of the Revolution; or, Lours the XVI Ilth, in ale twenty-foUrth year of bit reign, reckoning from the .murder of his Nephew ; but utterly sweeping  away every revolutionary measure. • Your Correspondent, Sir, seems bitten with the notion, that rational liberty, and nothing else, was designed by the French Revolutionises. Sir, that accursed event, the French Retie Ilion, was hatched, and planned, and matured; and accorn.. pliibed, by Jacobins and Athiests. No wise mail who was honest, and no honest man who was wise, had in it act or part. MI the virtue of France was exiled or butchered. Can it be won. tiered then, that the Revolution and all its fruits should be abhorred by one description of men, and cherished by another ?  The Emigrants who were so villainously robbed of their property, because of, their loyalty to their King, have never regained it ; though he for whom they were robbed has regained his Throne. So much for the --, but I forbear a theme so touchy. Oh, to be sure, they deserve the loss for " scampering" away, as your Correspondent terms it, instead of accommodating BUONAPARTE by staying to be murdered by him like •D'EN. GHIEN, and PICHEGRAT, and TOUSSAINT, and the soldiers at Jaffa, and—proh pudor !—our unavenged countryman,
