, There is now ample evidence that the
French autecrat will hesitate at nothing that may appear necessary to se.
{eure his position. or to push it to its com. pletest development; and notoriously a
successful blow on this country has for
jsixty years been the last card in the
hands of French ambition. Our fleets
are overy where except where they ure .
wanted. They are avenging every man’s
quarrel at the cost possibly of our own.
The muster roll of our army is prodigious,
but as far as these shores or these
are concerned, it exists chiefly on paper.
With a month’s law we might perhaps
do wonders, but without a day's law it
is not certain that we ean do any thing.
Half a century since, we lived for three
years in almost daily dread of an invasion: but we possessed two securities
first. i. state of open war: second. the
discretion of our wntagonist. We knew
that if he had made enormens preparation, he had also counted the cost. We
have none of these securities now. Our
danger consists ina peace which may
be hollow. and in the very rashness and
ignorance of those who posseas the power,
and possess the will. to annoy us.

Woe take the following extracts from
the letters of Mrs. Bennett, who was
in Paris, at last dates, giving her notion of French affairs :—Asto politics, all is outwardly tranquil here; the French appenr delighted
with the state of things and with their
new constitution; they call Louis Naem “the Saviour of France.” More,
1owever, is known of what is going on
in secret here,in England than in France,
as the prees throughout the country is
merely an echo of the mind of the government. A great fete is in preparation,
to be given by the government in honor
of the new constitution; it is intended
