HONOLULU, SATURDAY,THE HISTORY OF THE GIRONDINS.

BT M. A. DE LAMARTINK.

The celebrity of M. de Laraartine both asa poet and orator, and yet .more the pecu-liarities of his political character, have ren-dered the appearance of his first historicalwork a matter of great interest in France.That in relating the history of the G iron-di- ns

who belong to period yet very vividlyremembered by the French M. de Lamar-tin-e

would take a more decided tone thanhas hitherto marked his political career, andfurnish a clearer insight into the nature ofhis own opinions than had been previouslyobtained, seems to have been very generallyexpected. We believe that such expecta-tion is not likely to be justified by the workbefore us. The author is obviously desirous of not only appearing impartial but ofoems; bo. tie has not endeavored to extenuate the faults of the Girondins or to exaggerate the crimes and excesses of their an-

tagonists. He belongs to neither Montagnenor Gironde. His sympathies are withwhatever he finds of good on any side hiscontempt is for whatever of mean and eviland his compassion is for the unfortunatevictims of all parties. Sympathies thus enlarged and universal have a relation to hispoetical character; and may help to explainwhy, though an orator of acknowledged tal-

ent and eloquence, the author of ' Joceleyn'has never, as a political man, exercised anymaterial influence on his countrymen.

1 he fate of the Girondins has long beenconsidered one of the most interesting epi-

sodes of the Revolution of U3. The firstappearance of the party on the stage of thateventful drama their glorious dreams andhigh aspirations the long and arduousstruggle which they maintained with theirinflexible antagonists the Jacobins andabove all their fall, so full of dignity andnoble despair have contributed, more thanthe deeds which they accomplished, and not-

withstanding their shallow views and vaintheories', to endear their names to posterity.When we look back upon the position whichthey maintained from the beginning of therevolution to their fall on the memorable 31stof May, 1793, the wonder seems that, withviews so much opposed to the real spirit ofthat Revolution, they continued to hold theposition so long. Their number was at alltunes very limited when compared with thatof their antagonists: for even when theyseemed lo stand on something like an equal-

ity, an observant eye might alwas discernthat they were alone, while the people werewith the Jacobins. The latter adopted allthe passionate prejudices and coarseness ofthe populace that they might rule it moreeffectually. Too practical to dream ofstemming or turning the current of the greatrevolutionary torrent, their study was to beso far in advance that it could not sweepthem away. Thus it was that the Jacobins

a - rM a! awere monarchical in turn. 1 nus h was matRobespierre in the earlier part of the Revo-lution proposed to abolish capital punish-

ment; and who shall venture to say that hewas not sincere? In the day of his highestpower, he was but the popular instrument;and when be sent his victims to the scaffoldhe did no more than reflect the image of thepublic mind that had grown remorseless andcruel, just as he had reflected it when it was

magnanimous and noble wnen tne nationalspirit was that of a people censcious at onceof its strength and of not having as yetabused it.

It was the real greatness of the Girondinsthat they were far more independent of thepeople than their antagonists, but it was

also the occasion of their fall. What theyconceived tbey executed by themselvesreckless of the good or evil which might

ensue. They startled Robespierre with thename of a republic when as yet the royal

shaken' the revolu-

tionarypower waa scarcely by

tempest They were then as muchin advance of the Jacobins as they werebehind ' at later period. The boldness oftheirs, however, waa more systematic thanreal. Their republican principles were fartoo theoretical to" be reduced to practice.Instead of original views adapted to thestate of the country, they indulged in vaguebut eloquent declamations borrowed from thephilosophers of the eighteenth century. Thedemocracies of Greece and the Roman re-

public were kept before them as models for

imitation. Their object was less to secondthe revolutionary movement which was agi-

tating France after et centuries of oppression, than at once to found a French repu-blicand there stop. They understood nei

ther the situation of trance nor tne cnarac-te- rof their countrymen. Indeed, the great

error which the Gironde party committed

was that of looking on the 1 rench degraaeoas they were by the tyranny of age-s- as on

Greeks or Romans ripe for a free republic.

With the wonderful instinct which they dis-

played in such matters, the Jacobins saw

through the delusion of their antagonists.Tbtranr nt the same time, however, that

. . a J 11 " K anmA Altit was a delusion whicn ten in wimthe views of the people; whose fondness iorall that related to ancient ureece anu xvuu.c

, .iM.lr rlUnlaved. This feeling they

humored by flattering comparisons and a

theatrical affectation ol tnuquHj,hpless. remained in thought

and' action ever and truly French. The

Girondins sought to infuse into the nation a

spirit of heroism and freedom of which thatr.- - x. -- k;n(T- th Jacobins cave it

nation anew uuwig..i w, .nl outward form and the people

were satisfied. Another cause of the fall of

the Girondins may be likewise traced to

themselves. Their enemies called them ans--.... unA nnt without some show of re a

JANUARY 27, 1849.the people should rise to their own level, itwas not in their nature to stoop to that ofthe people. Such were the men whoseeventful and striking history M. de Lamar-tin- e

has attempted to relate.Strange as it may seem, with the excep-

tion of Guadet's imperfect account theredoes not exist a distinct history of the Giron-

dins. They play, of course, an importantpart in every narrative ennnected with theRevolution; but, until M. deLamartine un-

dertook the task, they had, properly speak-

ing, no historian. Even he seems to haveshrunk frcm his arduous duty: for in hisbrief preface he declares that it is only be-

cause no better title offered itself to hismind that he has chosen that of History forhis work it beins no more than a scries of" studies" on the Girondins and the princi-

pal events of the French revolution. Thisadmission is both candid and just; for, intruth, ' The history of the Girondins is littlemore than a collection of masterly sketches.It wants the unity of plan and comprehen-sive views necessary to the historian; andwith far more of vividness and dramatic ef-

fect than Thier's 'History of the Revolution'displays, it lacks the precision and methodof that celebrated work. M. de Lamartinehas bestowed little or no attention on thefinancial crisis of the epoch which he treats.It is evident that events are of little weightwith him: he says himself that they will befound to occupy less space in his work than' men and ideas.' This maybe philosophi-

cally just but it is not historically right:and though to the author's system we areindebted for the omission of much dry mat-

ter and the introduction of a brilliant seriesof political characters, yet that system failsto satisfy the reader's mind.

It must, nevertheless, be confessed thatthe form which M. de Lamartine has chosenis most excellently adapted to those individ-

ual sketches and minute details which givelife to a picture. These first two volumesthough they must necessarily be the leastinteresting of the series are full of life,vigour and interest. The characters arenot mere cold conventionalities. They re-

present human beings in a time when heroicvirtue was a passion and passion itself wasoften a virtue. The dying Mirabeau, Vcr- -gniaud, the eloquent orator of theuirondeand Madame Roland, the real chief of thatill fated party into which she so strove to infuse her own heroic spirit are drawn witha truth and vividuess very different fromThier's proverbial coldness of manner. Wefeel, while reading, that M. de Lamartinehas derived his lacts and descriptions iromthe most authentic sources from letters andoriginal memoirs and yet more from tra-dition. A spirit of reality and convictionpervades the work.

The style of M. de Lamartine, both as anorator and as a poet, is well known. Torichness, energy and eloquence it adds mel-

ody and rhythm in a degree never equalledin that of any other French writer. Its de-

fects are Ihe sameness occasioned by theepithets and images that load it, and an arti-

ficiality and mannerism which it shares incommon with most of the productions of themodern French school. These defects are,from the length and nature of the work,more apparent in ' The History of the Gi-

rondins' than in the author's poems andspeeches. There is throughout a lyricaland declamatory tone recalling the oratorand poet; and which, though it gives strengthand effect to certain passages, is peculiarlyunsuitable to the conciseness proper in his-

torical narrative. The opening is quite inaccordance with the epic statcliness whichgenerally characterizes M. de Lamartine'swritings.

' I undertake,' he says, ' to write the his-

tory of a small body of men cast by Providence in the heart of the greatest drama ofmodern times: in whom were united theideas, passions, faults and virtues of anepoch and whose life and policy forming,so to speak, the nucleus of the French Rev-

olution perished by the same blow whichcrushed the destinies of their country."

It may be questioned if the author has notoverrated the influence which the Girondinsexercised on the French Revolution. Theycertainly had no control over it for theywere amongst its earliest victims; nor is eventhe first revolutionary impulse to be ascribedto them. It was the work of neither Giron-

dins nor Montagnards; but had a higher anddeeper origin. The revolutionary principle

who carried it out to itslavj in the..people;i . . ...

extreme limits. It belonffca to no panyfor it was the inevitable result of ages ofoDoression and misery Voltaire and Rousseau of whom the one attacked religionand the other society hastened the explo-

sion of the popular feeling, but did not

generate it. The causes of great eventsseldom lie in men, considered as individuals.The Girondins were but disciples of the phi

losophers of the 18th century. Ihe realcause of the favor which the Girondins enjoy in the opinion of the present day is thefeet that they were, comparameiy spcaniug,free from that red stain which colors foreverthe memory of their opponents. They arenearly the only men of the revolution whose

acts the French need not disavow. M. de

Lamartine seems inclined to blame them for

having endangered the revolution by theirsystematic obstinacy. The truth is, theywere, throughout, faithful to their properpart ol republican unexioiiuy; a werethe Jacobins to theirs, which consisted in

yielding to the people whom they governed.The result was the scaffold for both parties;but it was in the nature of the case that theGirondins should perish first.

M. de Lamartine has described with much

skill the position of the different partieswhich divided the National Assembly beforethe appearance of the Girondins on the po-

litical horizon. The situation of the unfortunate Lodis XVI. distracted by the con- -flirtinrr opinions of. his counsellors his va

dilating disposition and the duplicity which

he was unavoidably led td practice are andrawii with painful fidelity and power. Thefollowing account of the flight to

Varennes is more detailed and interesting

than any that we recollect to have met with.On the evening of the 20th of June, 1791,the royal family consisting of the king,queen, their two . children, and MadameElizabeth the King's sister were no soonerleft alone by their usual visorf than theyput on traveling dresses suited to the occa-sion, and met in the queen's bedroom:

Thence they proceeded by a secret com-

munication to the apartment of the Duke deVillequier; and issued from the palace inseparate groups at intervals of time, to avoidattracting the attention of the sentries in thecourts by the sight of so many persons to-

gether. Under cover of the numbers whowere leaving the chateau on font or in carriages after the emtchcr of the King, theyreached the Carousel without bt-in- discov-ered. The Queen leaned on the arm of oneof the gardes da corjts, and led MadameRoyale by the hand. In crossing the Carrousel, she met M. de la Fayette, who, fol-

lowed by one or two officers of his staff, wasentering the Tuilcrics for the purpose ofseeing in person that the measures renderednecessary by the revelations of the day hadbeen duly taken. She shuddered at sight ofthe man who was to her eyes, the represen-tative of insurrection and captivity; and herescape from his glance seemed to her imagination an escape from the nation itself.Madame Elizabeth leaning also on the armof one of the guards, followed at a distance.The King had been the last to leave thepalace, accompanied by the Dauphin, thenseven years old. The Count de Fersen,disguised as a coachman, walked on before,and acted as their guide. The rendezvouswas on the quay of the Theatins; wheretwo carriages awaited the travelers. TheQueen's women and the Marchioness ofTourzel were there before them. In theconfusion attendant on a flight so hazardous,the Queen and her guide crossed the FontRoyal, and lost themselves for an instant inthe Rue du Bac. Perceiving her mistake,the Queen grew alarmed and precipitatelyretraced her steps. The King and his son,who had to reach the spot by a circuit ofstreets and a different bridge, were halt anhour later. This time seemed an age to themonarch's wife and sister. They came atlength however and threw themselves intothe first carriage. The Count de Fersenmounted the box, seized the reins, and him-

self drove the royal family to Bondy theirfirst stage between Paris and Chalons.There, by the Count's arrangement, werewaiting the berline constructed for the Kingand a cabriolet. The Queen s two femaleattendants and a garde du corps disguisedentered the latter; the King, Queen, Dau-phin, Madame Royale, Madame Elizabeth,and the Marchioness of Tourzel occupiedthe berline. Two gardes du corps seatedthemselves one in front and the other behind.The Count de Fersen kissed the hands ofthe King and Queen, committed them to thecare of Providence, and returned to Pariswhich he quitted the same night by anotherroute for Brussels, intending to rejoin tneroyal family at a later period. At the samehour, Monsieur, the King's brother, quittedthe palace of the Luxembourg for Brussels,where he arrived without having been recognized.

, After describing how the royal fugitivesreached Chalons without being impeded intheir progress, M. de Lamartine continuesas follows:

. This was the only great town throughwhich ' they had to pass. It was half pastthree in the afternoon. A few idlers gathered round the carriages whilst the horseswere being changed The King showedhimself imprudently at the window, and wasrecognized by the postmaster. But theworthy man felt that the life of h'n sovereignhung on a look or a gesture f his sup-pressed his emotion drew away the atten-tion of the crowd assisted to harness thehorses with his own hands and hastened thedeparture of the post boys. On him alone,of all that population, the blood of his Kingrested not. The carriage rolled out of thegates of Chalons; and the King; Queen andMadame Elizabeth simultaneously exclaimed' we are saved !'

A fresh imprudence of the King at Sainte-Menehoul- d,

however, betrayed him to Drou--et, the postmaster's son. A detachment ofdragoons suspected of attachment to theroyal cause being in the town, Drouet didnot venttire to raise an alarm; but saddlinga horse, he started immediately for Varennes

which was the next stage. One of thedragoons saw the act, and suspected its ob

ject; and finding means to escape irom inemrrnllatue exercised over nis coraraaes Dy

the people, followed the denouncer closely

resolved lo tane nis me. iui AJrouel wno,apprehensive of pursuit, looked often be--bind perceived nis pursuer; and being wenacquainted with the country, took a by-ro- ad

that led to Varennes. It was near midnightwhen the roval family, unsuspicious of thedanger that threatened them, entered thetown which thev foand buried in sleep. Oftheir entrance and subsequent arrest, M. deLamartine gives the following description:

The town of Varennes is formed of twodistinct quarters, a higher iown and a low-

er, divided by a river end a bridge. M. deGouguelas had stationed a relay in the Low

er Town, on the other side of the bridge.Th meanure waa in itself prudent. Sinceit obliged the carriages, etc., to cross thedefile of the bridge with the horses broughtfrom Clermont; and, in the event of a popu

lar commotion, the changing ot horses anddenarture were more easy after the bridgewas passed. Of this,- - however, the Kingshould have been forwarned and was notHe and the Quecrt alighted from the carriage in extreme agitation,

turned to the carriages which the postboysthreatened to abandon with their horses. By

in motion, the travelers rallied; atlnhntingthe accident to a misunderstanding, and al-

ready fancying thcmaelvea in the midst of M.de Bouille'a camp. 'm High Town is cto-se- d

without obstacle. The cloned lions repose in a deceptive calm. A handful of menonly are awake; aud tbey are silent and io- -

cealed. Between the Higher and IoerTowns was a tower, standing al the entranceot the bridge which divided them. Tnietower rose over a massive arrh, throughwhose dark and narrow passage the carna-ges were obliged to proceed al a alow pare

THE POLYNESIAN.HONOLULU, SATURDAY, JAN. 27.

CO" We have no great faith in the power of

argument; or rather, to be plain and straightfor-

ward wilh our readers, we are absolutely scep-

tical in the matter. Prejudice and pride, self-intere- st

and misapprehension, are sad perverters

of an argument, and a man whose mind's eye

views things through any or all of those mediums,

ami expects to see them as they really are, might

as reasonaWy anticipate to behold objects free

from misshape and distortion by looking through

a spyglass whose lenses are broken and the ma-

chine generally disarranged. Men actively em-

ployed, and hot in the pursuit of their desires,

are not, as a rule, candid enough to be argued

into this, that, or the other way of thinking. It

is ten to one but they will assent to your premi-

ses, and nod their heads approvingly as you lay

them down, but when it comes to the ergo, thetherefore, the consequence, they usually agree

with you or otherwise, according as your deduc-

tions fall in with or oppose conclusions previ-

ously come to by them on entirely different bases.

But why expend words in conveying an idea

which Hudibras has elucidated in a single

couplet:'Convince a man against his will,

He's of the same opinion still.'

Then again look at the arguers themselves; how

few of them are concise and lucid compared with

the crowd of those who are exactly the reverse.

As they proceed they leave innumerable gaps be-

hind them, and the mind which follows theirs is

just as likely as not to avail itself of the oppor-

tunity to branch off at one or other of these gaps,particularly if the way be long. Persons argu-

ing, be it also remembered, often aiake thingsworse in going back to make them better, as anold woman carrying home sticks for fire woodsometimes retraces her steps to pick up a sprigor two which may have dropped, and in so doinglets fall half her bundle, poor old soul. If peoplecould transmit their ideas immediately, that is tosay without the use of language, argument mightIk; more successful than it is at present; for awhole host of words are susceptible of so manyshades of meaning, that a man who likes that

. . i i i ?

employment can spin straws iorever, ami ims is

a principal reason why it is so much easier topick a good argument to pieces than it is to build

one up.What is the way then to. convince people

where yon want to do so? The best method, ifwe be not mistaken, whenever the thing can bemade practicable, is to force conviction uponthem by your acts rather than your words. Eveniu those cases where your language appears fairand reasonable, and worthy of credit, as beingjust what might be expected of you, the mass ofmen will cease to regard it as such directly it isbelied by your conduct.

You ean act a falsehood almost as easily asspeak one in many instances; but as a generalthing deeds require more exertion, are morecapable of proof and entail surer consequencesthan words. An assertion endorsed by an act becomes current iu society as genuine and worthy ofcredit; but an act will do the same without be-

ing backed by an assertion. - And therefore wesay to all whom it may concern, convince menby your deeds in matters that are susceptible ofthat kind of proof. It is the shorter methodand involves in many instances, a desirableeconomy in the items of pen, ink and paper.We have personally had a contempt for argu-ment ever since a certain evening during ourschool career, wheu wc contended that the bandis more servicable than . the eye, and the umpire(a rival of oar's in Latin,) decided against us.Next morning in the play ground, by a simpleact of ours which brought the two membersalluded' to in contact, we convinced oar oppo-nent in a way he could not help feeling, thatthere certainly was some sense on our side ofthe question. ,

'

.

We heard a story of a lover, who, impressedwith the fact that the occasion demanded all bisenergies, tendered his band and heart to the ob-

ject of his devotion, at the same time offering ascientific argument analytically constructed, inwhich he convinced the young' lady, as bethought, that it was impossible for him to loveany body else, . and in an appendix markedA synthetically and much to his ownsatisfaction the reasonableness of her lovingbin. , Rut she was not to be won in that way;oa the contrary she regarded the communicationas coming into the category of things which' play round the head but come not near theheart,' ami shortly afterwards pledged her trothto a gentleman who introduced himself by re-

turning her lap-do- g which had been belated.:This may be true, but certain 'it is we haveamongst us many persons who argue a greatwarmth of affection for Hawaii. We do notdeny that such is the state of their feelings, butwhy reason out the Kint when one act of sym-pathy, or a single deed bearing the stamp offriendship would settle it lieyoud cavib Letthem forego words aitd come to actions, for theroof lies there. These little sister-islan- ds are

bleeding at the heart, and cold arguments willwill not . assuage their grief. Sickuess has re-

duced the share of strength their childhood evenlately possessed: their feebleness requires help,they musf have rest. Then let them lie at theirease a little while and whilst they do so, do yousit by like ettt$JHirsvs, and brush away theflies in whatever form they come, which thoughthey cannot actually sting, nevertheless make thepatients restless and therefore retard improve-ment. ' Or lead them by the hand and let yourpride of manhood and superior birth stoop toconverse with them; Init don't be petulent andangry, and above all never fill their beads withfears of men swinging on gibbets, or of the Fly-

ing Dutchman or any other sinister lookingcraft. Act in this fashion and you will have noueed to argue yourselves friends; nor docs itmatter in what way the feeling of good will ismanifested so long as it peeps out in what youdo The less art employed the better,

For never anything can he amiss' ' When MuipleiiessajMl duly lender it,''And with regard to the government itself, let

we mean is, we would not use more words to

were absolutely necessary. .

M. Gciiot. We present- - to our readers this

week, two speeches of M. Guizot; one was de-

livered August 2Cth, 1841, while at the height

of popularity in France; the other was made in

August, 1848, after his escape from France.On Sunday, the 36th of August, 1841, a pub-

lic dinner was given to M. Guizot by the citi-

zens of Lisieux. The great ball of the cloth-mark- et

at that place had been prepared for the

purpose, and SI 6 persons sat down to dinner; a

number of others, had been refused for want ofroom. Of the 800 men who constituted the Na-

tional Guars oT Lisieux, more than 600 assem-

bled to greet the arrival of M. Guizot. The artillery and cavalry of the National Guard bad

all turned oat to a man. His entrance into thetown was announced by a salute of artillery,and he proceeded to the banquet-ha-ll amidst amultitude of people who had flocked in from theneighboring country to salute their deputy. Eve-

rything passed off in the best possible manner.

At the conclusion of the dinner, M. Nasse, theSul-Prcfe- ct of Lisieux, rose ami proposed thefollowing toast, which was enthusiastically received

'To the King of the French. We owe to hishigh wisdom the preservation of peace, whichwe should no more desire than he would, if itaffected in the slightest degree the national ho-

nor, if it was not m harmony with the progressof civilization, the prosperity of commerce, undthe wants and wishes of all nations.'

M. Le Roy Beaulieu, the mayor of Lisieux,and chairman of the meeting, next proposed, asa toast, the following culogium:

"To His Excellency the Minister of ForeignAffairs.' After having so much contributed byhis eloquence and his writings to found a consti-tutional monarchy in our country, after hav-ing with admirable courage defended in turn li-

berty and order against the most desperate fac-

tious, he has just added a fresh title to all hisformer : glorious titles. By his skilful jtolicy,peace is preserved in Europe; and France, whichcertainly did not fear war, applauded, however,the honorable treaty which terminated so happi-th- e

crisis that held us all so long in suspense.Honor to the Minister tor r oreign Affairs ! Mehas just rendered to his country and to the entireworld au immense service. Let all honest menand friends of humanity unite to address himtheir felicitations. The district of Lisieux oughtto be proud to have given to France this illustrious statesman. Have we not, in fact, sent him adozen of times to the Chamber of Deputies, inless tfjin twelve years? Have we not sustainedhim with our free suffrages, in opposition as inpower? Gentlemen, the same men who, in 1830,on the eve, and ou the very day of the revolu-tion in July, prepared a banquet to the leader ofthe Opposition, have certainly the right, in 1841,to offer a similar baflqunt to the King's Minis-ter. And now, as theJ, tbey can, without fearof being accused of flattery, repeat "Honor toM. Guizot! Honor to the jleputy of Lisieux!"

This sentiment was receive! with deafeningacclamation?, and when silence was restored, M.Giuzot rose and thus addressed the assembly:

'In truth, gentlemen, I do not know in whatterms to reply to sentiments so flattering tt meas those you have just heard sentiments themore valuable in my eyes from having been c- -pressed uy a worthy citizen, ot hrm and etmgli-tede- d

views. Permit me to receive those senti-ments as the expression of the sympathy whichhas united us for the last twelve years a sym-pathy which has never varied during the varioussituations iu which we have been placed beforeand since a revolution which is always caculatcdto create difference of opinion, but which, in-

stead of causing a division between us, gentle-men, has more closely united us. Many of youmay recollect, that ten years since I explained toyou, in this very hall my ideas and political intentions. At that period sued a public uiscusionsurprised many. At present such an explanationappears simple and natural a strong proof oftne empire ana progress or our institutions. Icongratulate you upon it, gentlemen, and I feelproud of haviug from the commencement ac-cepted those powerful institutions fully and com- -pietety. i nave confidence in them. I believein them. I respect them and I love them. Andfacts do not permit us to doubt of their merit, forbefore our eyes they have twice saved France.Previous to 1830, tbey were sufficient for the de-fence of our liberties. Since 1830, tbey havesufficed to preserve us from anarchv. Withoutthem, gentlemen, do you believe that we couldnave mamtaned tieace, order, andthe day following a revolution, commenced theformation of a government? It is to the contin-uous action not of any of our institutions in par-ticular, but to tbeir combined influence taken to--

ether, to which we are indebted for our success,ft may be boldly asserted that our constitutionalmonarchy has proved itself. It has a riirht togovern us, for in a few years it has satisfied ourvarious wants, and, I mirht add, the most contrary wants of society. It satisfies them, gentle-men, every day, and what is at present mssinground us victoriously demonstrates all the valueof our institutions, and how much we are indebt-ed to them. Call to mind the situation of ourforeign affairs last year; France uneasy and excited; Europe uneasy and excited. On bothsides mucn mistrust and much irritation. Allthe appearances of a revolutionary war in per-spective. Nevertheless, there existed no legitimate motive tor war, no great national interestrequired it, or even rendered it advisable. Thereexisted only a foreign policy more or less skilful,more or less fortunate mistakes ami checks, butnothing from whence war ought reasonably toarise. Neither did the true wishes any moretnan me true interests ot the country requirewar.. France did not desire war, nor did Eu-rope desire it; and, nevertheless, war apjiearedto be imminent, so difficult was it to elicit thetrue wishes and true interests of the country, andto raise them above the passions and superficialdangers which agitated us. How did we escapefrom so critical a toition. The King, availinghimself firmly of his prerogative, changed hiMinistry. And at the same time faithfully fulfilling the spirit of the charter, he brought thisimKrtaut question before the Chumltcrs thismomentous question of peace or war which, forhis part, he had resolved according to his opin-ion, und according to the limits of his preroga-tive. The new Ministry, in its turn, invited themost complete and most public discussion in theChamliers a discussion so puldic that manymen of sound understanding considered it excessive, mid contrary to the good customs of Gov-ernment. But under the excitement which Misted, the most complete publicity was necessaryto enlighten the country, and to enable it to judgethe momentous question submitted to it with allthe facts before it. And, gentlemen, did thatcourse of proceeding produce one of those vio-lent and thoughtless ns which carries theideas or conduct of governments or uations fromone extreme to the other ? In order to preserve onegreat national interest, has any other interestbeen sacrificed? In repelling the doctrine of warat any price, did the Ministers adopt that ofpeace ou any terms, as tbeir adversaries so fre-quently endeavored so persuade the country?Not in the least; all the interests of the countrywere consulted and respected its dignity, as wellas its (irosperity, its strength, as well a its re-pose. Amongst the measures nratiared lv thnformer Cabinet, some were rescinded, other r.cepted; whence arose the armed eace policyami lue temporary isolated state ot the actions

POLYNESIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY. - .

rr finvpmmrnt as in the deliberations ot tneChamliers a policy truly of the justemilieu, thewidom of which has been indeed acknowledged,but whose duration was predicted as short, asalso its non-succe- ss. But it .has lasted, gentle-

men, it has succeeded ! Peace has been main-

tained without the sacrifice of our dignity. Thesolitariness of France has ceased, yet only afterhaving lasted long enough for a desire to springup that it was at an end, and conditionally, onle-r- honorable to our country. Now, gentlemen, vou anorove. I doubt not, my reserve. Ifthere are discussions to be avoided, there are also facts which ouzht to be stated only before thegreat public powers constitutionally appointed totake cognizance ot tne same, i snau noi lau inmy duty in this respect. I shall also abstainfrom saving what may wound the susceptibilityof any foreign government or state. I could notpardon myself any speech which might fomentor nourish between France and England be-

tween France and Europe ancient prejudicesor bitter sentiments. In a man of sense in asincere friend to European peace such langnagewere a serious fault. In me, in the position Ihave the honor of holding, it were failing at oncein faith and justice, in prudence and due respect.I will not incur such a reproach, but limit myselfto a simple recapitulation ot tne results ot tnepolicy which has prevailed, and of the facts dis-

covered in consequence. France has been wiseand calm: she comprehended that neither herown honor nor her interest prescribed more thanprecautionary armaments and a state of solitudewhich could not last. Europe has been strength-ened and warned. First, by the evidence of ourpacific intentions, and by the loyal agreement ofour COntlUCI WHO our lllieuiioos. t nincu, muiFrance would never allow herself to be. drawninto anv nolicy other than her own that, without declaring war, she could withdraw herselffrom what she disapproved of that there wasnothing inconvenient to the world in France re-

maining isolated from the affairs of Europeand that the good intelligence of all was of equalinterest to all. There was a term brought to ourforeign nffairs, to an exceedingly critical positionand which might have become very serious, andthis result was obtained liy a scrupulous respectto our institutions, and by the regular develoii- -ment of them. In the interior their merit, ifpossible, was more evident and effieatious, andit is still more so in the settlement of the mattersnow in hand. The events of last year, gentlemen, imposed heavy charges upon you; sometemporary, and which must cease with the situ-

ation whose consequence they were; the re-

mainder stable, because they nrise from thenecessity of strengthening our military establish-ments, too long neglected. Obliged to providefor theses char&es, the Administration felt at thesame time the necessity to cause the budget to lye

restored to its normal condition; that is, to reestablish the balance between the exenditureand the pbulic receipts. Credit is a powerfulbut delicate means, which must lie resorted tocarefully. No loan ought to be raised, hut un-

der extraordinary and pressing circumstances.Her ordinary expenditure, the permanent receipts ought to suffice. These are new elemen-tary maxims, which ought to serve as a rule forthe conduct of every thinking government. Inthis situation, what has the Minister of Financedone? He has ordered the measures already announced and prescribed by the Peers, and whoseonly objects are first, to ensure amongst tax-

payers the equal proportion of the taxation al-

ready established; and, secondly, to place theChambers in their future sessions in a conditionto net with a full acquaintance of the future, forthe fair distribution and the division of the pul-li- c

burdens. Nothing, certainly, gentlemen, canbe more legitimate and more in conformity withthe rules of justice, and with the necessities of acareful administration of the resources of thestnte. However, strong measures have arisen,not amongst you, nor amongst men of sense whocould distinguish truth from falsehood, butamougst populations where intelligence is not sofar advanced in the knowledge of public affairs

., of the conditions of eood government. Absurd errors, strange popular delusions, have beenspread and, ot the same moment, the factionshave beei: at work to take advantage of them in

order to tuf.t them to account. Frorn resistancetlin irnti Ktirk was to insurrection The blindfolly of the mass.," "d 'he hypocritical labors offaction such. srenJemen, are the true causes ofthe evil such has i.oui.ied some parts ot ourcountry. How have tL"se disorders and evilsbeen opposed by the tvernment? Ly twomeans only first, by the simple execution of thelaws, firm at the bottom, but stiu' temperate, quietin the form, but proverbial and paf.'eut in the de-

monstrations; secondly, by the fulle&f a"'1 ,nostpersevering discussion, in order that ths .tense ofthese measures might be fully comprehend" f"i he dissipation of popular errors. BestoW aglance, I beg, at what is passing at this momciit I

in France. Everywhere the muuicipal councilshave iust assembled. The councils general areabout to meet. Precisely at this moment Franceis covered with electoral bodies who examine,discuss, approve, or blame, the measures whichare treated. And it is in the midst of this uni-

versal examination that the Government repres-ses disorders, making only an appeal to the pub-

lic reason and to legal force, firmly resolved tohave the laws rcsee.tcd, but constantly appliedto enlighten the public mind at the same time.Is not such a spectacle the most striking homagerendered to our institutions? Does it not provethat it is in their complete and energetic actionthat the Government places its confidence andderives its support? I say, gentlemen, their complete and energetical action, lor tnat action oniyis efficacious and salutary. That our institutionsmay attain their end, all the powers which consist in unity must act firmly and completely, eachin its sphere and in its natural limits. Any weak-ness, any hesitation in any one of tho great pub-It- c

powers would trouble and derange the wholepolitical machine. It connot be concealed thereis in our time a tendency to weaken some of thegreat public powers that of the monarchy, andthis by weakening the elements of its existence,Royalty and the Government. When I say roy-

alty, gentlemen, I mean the institution and theroyal person the Crown and the King. It is afundamental maxim of the constitutional law,The King cannot do ill.' The King inviolable,

the Ministers responsible; every error in government is attributable to the King's councilors, notto him. This is the admirable principle whichprotects at once both order and liberty. But forthis maxim, 'The King cannot do ill,' it is pre-

tended this one must liesulistituted: 'The Kingcannot do anything,' an idea as false in Itw asin fact, and which enervates royalty under tnenreiext of protectine it. Well was it for ourcountry, gentlemen, that Royalty could not beenervated, but that, in our affairs, it played thepart our institutions assigned to it. 1 o its pro-

tecting action do we owe a good part of the success we have obtained. I have already had thehonor of expressing amongst you my sentimentson this bead. The wisdom of the King und thewisdom of the country coalesced, and this union,the definitive end of the Charter, has savedFrance. Let us be grateful to the King, gentle-men; we shall then lie only just. And, mistakenot, gratitude is a duty useful to a nation; itserves her, and at the same time, honors her, forit encourages and inamtaius the devoteuuess olthe King and the nation herself, and the country,gentlemen, needs the devotcdness of the King, asalso that of every citizen. The second elementof the monarchical power, the present and activeelement on all points of the territory, is tho Administration. Believe me, gentlemen, mat tnecountry has not a more pressing uecessity thancontinual vigilance and .energy. In flhe wholecourse of our history, and, above all, for the lasthalf century, the Administration has been Tor usa principle and a security of national unity, ofpublic order, ot progress in civiuzaiiou. u isunder its hands, and by its action, that Francehas become united and conrpact. It is under itshands, ami by its action, that you see daily yourschools arise, your roads opened, your towus cm--hehslied, prosperity and welfare spread through-out the country. Let us take care, gentlemen,not to weaken these salutary powers; let us main- -

tain them in all their rights: let them fairly de- -

velope themselves fully on the side of our hlrr-tic- s,

watcher and watched in turn. It is the dutyand interest of sensible and enlightened men todefend and maintain thetn against all unfriendlytendencies. For do not deceive yourselves, gen-

tlemen, power cannot march alone,; it requireto be surrounded and supported. It directagents require a true and vigilant assistance fromthe conservative force of society. Our institu-tions, if I may so express it, cannot remain emp-ty. If a good understanding does not penetratethem, a bed man will get in; if principles amiconservative interests do not dominate therein,destructive principles and interests will prevailtherein. It has been said that a representativegovernment was not created for the repose ofMinisters. It has not also been created tor tneinactivity of good citizens. It is not for anybodya mere tent raised to sleep under. It is sn opencareer open to all, where it is necessary that allact ami march. All of you, gentlemen, whowish for order io your families, order in yourtowns, order in our state, must never forget thatthese are inseparable hereafter from each other,and that it is upon you tbey depend. In 1890,when when we vindicated our rights, our nowacknowledged rights, we promised to Franceand to the world to found a regular and stablegovernment, st the same time a free government.Let us keep our promise, gentlemen. Let us,without hesitation, assume the burden of its ac-

complishment. At this price, success is infallible,and we shall surmount the obstacle we shallmeet with, as we have, for eleven years, over-come those which were so often predicted wouldprove our stumblingblock.

We find in the London 'Globe', of the 10th ofAugust, the following speech of M. Guizot, at apublic entertainment, at Great Yarmouth, Eng-

land :

M. Guizot at Yaemocth. At the public en-

tertainment given last week at Great l armouth,after the of St. Nicholas Church, M.Guizot, who is Mopping at Lowcstoffe, was nrea-cn- t,

and on his health being drunk by the chair-man, snoke as follows:

'I give you my most heartfelt thanks lor thehonor you have done me, the kindness you haveshown me, and, aliove all, for the interestingthe most interestirg ami awful ceremony, ofwhich, by your kind invitation, I have this dnythe happiness to be witness. Ami I would patyou my thanks, not only in my own name, but inthe name of the many honorable and distinguish-ed visitors who have assembled to-d-ay in yourtown. How can I discbarge well such a duty?I who bid a foreigner, with my imperfect ami sobad English. But if there be an incorrectlyin my speaking, bd assured there is no want ofsincerity in feeling. I have come but twice dur-ing my life to England. The first time I cameas the ambassador of a powerful king; the pit-on- d

time I came as an exile from mv nativeland. When I came the first time to your coun-try, Europe was in a state of twrfect tranquilityand prosperity there was peace present, niclconfidence in the future. The second time, minemonths ago, when I came, my own countryEuroc generally was involved in murh sad-ne- ss

and fears for the future; but I found F.ng-lan- d

perfectly quiet, enjoying, in the deejn--

tranquility, her lilerty, her constitution, her mo-ral, intellectual, and material prosperity ; and I

was received as an exile as I had been when anambassador, with the same kindness, the sainsympathy, and, I dare say, w ith the same friendship. How should I not but have been struckwith such a spectacle of noble nation.il wisdom.'How should I not but have deeply fi It sik-I- i amark of respect? For thee motives I am hereto-da- y. I have hitherto refused myself In everyinvitation declining every invitation to feastsand to great meetings. Far from my dear coun-try, und deeply sad, it is my inclination ns wellas my duty to live in retirement: and this I nmdoing. But this occasion is one of a differentkind.

Ocean Steamers. We read in the NewYork Journal of Commerce of the 22nd, thatihj line of mail steamers between New York

s.- - r- -t i e itanu wew vjneans, ny way m Havana, who usbranch to Chagres, will soon be in operation.

Thf arrangement is to eonnect with the mail line

on the Pacific, from Panama to the Columbiariver, 'i'his service is to be performed by asteamer torching at San Bias and Maiat-la- n,

in Mcsicd. "J one of the principalports in California, until it arrives at San Fran-cisco. Thence another tesmer take the mailand passengers to tii Columbia. The wholedistance from New York" Oregon, In weenfive and six thousand mile, will be performedin little more than thirty dJt-- Some of thegovernment steamers are now fitting out for thePacific, to extend the mail communication tothe Sandwich Islands, and it is contemplatedultimately to comprehend China in the fstem.It is supposed that the Sandwich Islands mwf bereached in forty days from ?iew York. Tfce iservice will be arranged with reference also to aconnection with Wheelwright's line of Britishsteamers on the Pacific coast of South America.The Government pays 0490,000 a year for amonthly mail by this route between New Yorkand ihe Columbia river, ami a semi monthlymail between New York and New Orleans, byway of Charleston, Savannah ami Havana.The contract is for ten years. The steamersare all constructed under Government inspection,with a view to their employment, when re-

quired, ns vessels of war.One of the Pacific steamers is in such a state

of forwardness, that she will be despatched toher destination in October next, and two morewill follow her successively at intervals of onemonth each. The whole line between NewYork and Oregon is expected to tie in owraiimnext January.

The Journal justly remarks that tho magni-tude of the project ami the exMtlition withwhich it has been carried out, reflect the highestcredit on the enterprise ami energy of NewYork merchants. It has involved the e eiidi-tur- e

of nearly two million of dollnrs, all ofwhich has been furniibd by New Yorkers, m iththe excction of one year's mail pay advancedby Government in small instalments, to be re-funded out of the first year's mail service. A- - O.Picayune, S'cpt. 4.

We make the following extracts from theLondon Kvcning Mail' of the 3th SeptemberInst :

Acstkia. The Austrian Diet, in their sittingthe 3!st ultimo, debated on the abolition of

territorial servitude and tho rest of feudal privileges and burdens. The principle of the abolilion having leen adopted, the Assembly proceed

to discuss the propriety of granting an indemnity to the holders of noble domains. Thisqueslion caused a stormy debate, and was carried in

favor of the indemnity by a majority of thirty

votes. Thirty-si- x members declined voting on

thia question.A letter from Vienna, of the 31st, in the 'Kol

ncr Zeitung', contains a melancholy description

of the state of Vienna. Great animosity prevailsbetween the employers and the employed, and it

a significant fact that of all the German papers tho 4Allgemeine Oestcrreishische Zeitung'alone laments the fate of Louis Blanc and Laus

sidiere, expressing, at the same time, a hope for

the ultimate victory of their party. Communism,

repulsed by the good feeling and sound sense ofthe German nation, has found an asylum in v i--

enna, w here its doctrines are more or less open-

ly avowed by part of the ress, and by a consi- -HeralJe fraction of the population. It has been

a a

preached at Vienna by some of the worst men

with whom Germany is afflicted, and by some

who adopted iu creed from interest, stupidity, or

laziness. The wildest theories of the Fourrierand Proud boo school were for month propoun-

ded before a public that had never been taught to

thiok or act for themselves before men whose

strong animal passions and defective reasoning

had long ago made them a proverb and a bye-wo- rd

throughout Germany. The late disturb-

ance at Vienna show how teeming the soil ia on

which the evil seed fell. It is true, the riotous

laborer have been forced back to their secret...... a. a

clubs, liut the spirit which led them to disturo

the peace of the capital is still alive and at work.

The animosity of the laborer is chiefly directed

against the National Guards, who are frequently

assaulted in the suburbs. Some of them were

even assassinated. Many of the great manufac

turers of Vienna have, within the last few days,

diwnicd their workmen and left off business,

for their tosition aa National Guards became in--

..,i..,. ij- - ...rmnmlml... as thev were by a mob ofiviriai'vif w

infuriated men.

There is reason to fear that' the abolition of

servitude and the indemnification will exercise

unfavorable influence on the peasant popula- -

lion of Austria. The Diet has lost we conu- -

dence of the capital. The German element is

represented by a minority, the ranks of which

dally getting thinner. The Ministers, who

with to remaiu in office, favor the majority.It from a letter from1 1 B a a at. appears

IWb. of the 29th ultimo, in the 'Breslauer Zei

tung', that the city of Pesth is in the greatest

ferment and acitatioa on account ot an auegea

Calipokiua. By the arrival of the Rhone '17 days from San Francisco, we have receivedthe California Star of Dec. Ifith, and 23rd, fromwhich we gather the following items of news:

AtEOCIOPS Mninr i Too . r.7U .1the Musion of San Miguel. Through the

of a friend, we have lieen furnishedwith extracts from a private letter from Monte-rey, containing the account of a most fiendishmurder, pertietrated at the M ission nf S.-i-n Mi.gucl. The particulars arc as follows :

Keed had iust rrturnp.l fmm ih Stnni.linMines and had considerable irold. This temntndthe murderers to this deed, and thev carried offe . . . - . . . . .irom uie nouse nothing but gold and valuaMeproperty. Calicoes, mantas. &r. were leftstrewn about the Mission. The man tells thathe saw all the dead bodies piled un. to the number of ten, as though intended to be burned;but it is supposed the murderers did not finishtheir task before they heard sonic horsemen approaching, when they ran away. They are fol-lowed, and this man says he feels sure thev havebeen taken at the Rancbo of Alamo's, some 20miles this side of Santa Yuez. Reed was shotbelow the ear by a Ianre ball, and all the restwere killed with axes.

This mail man rode un to the Mission whilethe liodies were yet warm, and whilst the bloodwas oozing from their wounds. He first cavenotice of the murder, and collected the Ranche- -ros and put them on the track, and he wouldhave continued the pursuit, had he not met thebearer of this express, and turned for Monterey.His tale is too minute to admit of doubt, andyou may safely assert, that Reed of San Miguel,anu nis entire iamuy, servants and all, weremurdered by five white men, believed to lie discharged volunteers. 1 hone thev mav be arrested and properly disposed of. I knew Reed,have stopel at his house, and saw him when 1

was at Stanislau. He was making extensivepreparations to return in the spring.'

Highway Rodbekt and attempt to Mcrper, at San Jose. We arc indebted to theconsideration of a friend for the following cX'tracts from a private letter, dated

Pueblo de San Jose, Dec. 14, IS IS.' I am writing in the midst of great excite

ment. A bigbway roblicry was committed in. tr I a

tuis uistrici on sumiay mgnt last, l he sup- -a a aposea rouocrs nave been arrested. 1 hey are

William Campbell and David A. Davis, deserters from the 1st New York Kecimcnr, and asailor. They are in the calalioosc, in the stocks,and ten men on guard. The man robbed wasshot; and if alive will bo here whenthe trial will take place.

Two men, one named Woolard, who is adeserter from the 1st N. Y. Rpg't, I am told,and the other named i jcc, are also in arrest onsuspicion of being accomplices.

In the Star,' of Dec. 23rd, wc find the following:

F.xecctiox. Tho trial of Davis, Campbelland Freer, for highway robbery and attempt tomurder, took place in the village of San Jose,on Saturday, ltilh inst., before Judge KimballH. Dimmick, Alcalde of that district. The juryempnniiclled in the case, brought in a verdict ofguilty and sentenced them to be hanged. Onthe following Monday, the unhappy men expiated their crimes upon the gallows, in presenceof a large concourse of citizens, having previous-ly confessed their guilt and embraced the catholic faith.

Three men, named Henry Woolard, JohnCotton, and Iee, arc in custody, charged withparticipation in the same crime. The trial ofCotton came off on Monday evening last; theprisoner pleaded guilty to a part of the specifications, and begged the mercy of the court. Hewas sentenced to receive fifty lashes and to beconhned lor one month.

San Jose, Tuesday eve, Dec. IS.' The trials of Woolard and Lee, implicated

in the late crime, and also charged with perjury,have just been terminated: the jury sentencedthem to receive IS lashes each upon the firstcharge, and 40 lashes each, with one month'sconfinement in the stocks on the last charge.'

C. E. Pickett, who was charged with the

murder of a man by the name of Alderman,

from Oregon, has been acquitted.Prices have declined somewhat at San Fran-

cisco and the mr rket was well stocked with mostkinds of goods.

The winter is represented as being very se-

vere, and the snow at the mines was a foot deep.

The suffering will undoubtedly be very greatfrom the want of proper accommodations and

the necessary comforts of life.

There was a large meeting held at San Fran-

cisco, Dec. 21st, for the purpose of establishinga provisional government.

The present proprietors of the " Star," an- -

nounce their intention of discontinuing saidpaper, and of issuing a paper entitled " AltaCalifornia," commencing Jan. 4.

as Sept. II, and gives the following brief sum-

mary of news:In France another political storm is brew-

ing: in Paris fears of another outbreak are entertained. Louis Blanc and rroudhoun andother associate leaders were in arrest. In Ireland all is quiet. In Russia a revolution hadbroken out. " Emperor fled to Constadt" pro-

FLOWERS IN THE CITY.

BT FBANCE8 BBUWS.

Well we know thera as the blossoms

Of the green and glorious May

Life hath left so far away,In old woods and glens whose tosoms

Wear the dew of summer's yooih :

It hath passed from ours, in soolh ! '

- Yet how fresh "on brow and spiritBreathe, through tumult, dust and atone,

Cuds the wide green wastes inherit,

Blooms in sunny gardens grown .

And some beside far risers known

With old summer memories round them ! ,

Linked with many a glaace and tone ; . :

The loved but not the changed we found them

Tones grow strange and glances chill,

But the flowers are lovely still.1 " -

Lovely by the pied-u- p Tolumes ...''Of the world"s long trusted lore, ,

Through the mart's thronged toil and store

And the temple's cold gray columns

With a mightier wisdom fraughtAnd the faiih onr years forgot :

With a wealth of odors, bringing

All the golden eyes we met

Since our first blue violets' springing. .

Ob, the days that rUe and setOn earth's green hills and valleys yet!Oh, the srpings our part was missed in !

We are far and they forget

The hearts their hopes no more exist in :

But o'er many a winter's trackStill the flowers come blooming back.

, Back, to tell of dells and medows

Where the blossomed thorn breathes oa'Through the summer ere and dawn!

Back to fill onr dream with shadows

Of old trees and woodbine walls

Where the liht on roses falls ! j

Flowers of summer days ! return yeWith such sylvan visions rife .

'To the bond-year- s of our journey,Through this dusty throng of life,

'But to wither in its strife

i 4? tne free though' perish early. .Fouud with you by stream and cliff? , ,

. Now. our pathways reach them rarely ;Yet from city homes like ours '

'"Breach of Promise. Actions by youngladies for breach of promise, we had thoughtto be one of the perfections of British civili-zation. (But what spot on the world is not nowcivilized, or about to be civilized: In half-a- -

dozen years more, the manners of mankind,from Chile to Constantinople, will be assmooth as a bowling-gree- n. In Illinois, lately.a young Indian fair, or brown one, ofsome dis-

tinction in the woods, made her complaint toan old chief of the faithlessness of her betroth-ed. The squaw asserted that she had nosooner made up her mind to the marriage,than the young chief turned on bis heel andchose to marry somebody else. The casewas brought before the heads of the tribe.The matter was regarded as touching thepublic ' honor, and the old warriors held agrand council on the subject. As, amongIndians, there are yet no professed lawyers,justice is not quite so tardy as in more accomphsnea countries, and the case waspleaded by the squaw herself. It consistedof statements of the frequent visits of theyoung warrior to the wigwam; of his smoking' a considerable quantity, of her father'stobacco; and eating their venison, wheneverhe could get it; those, attentions to himself,being connected with frequent attentions tothe lady, the statement being corroboratedby several bunches of feathers, yards ofW clsh flannel, three fox-tai- ls, and a scalp.The lover was then called on. . He deniedthe charge of. the affections 'altogether.With an air that could not be exceeded by aman of fashion, he said, that, though it wastrue he had visited her father's wigwam, hehad done it only when he had nothing else toJo, when the beavers were not to be found,

or tho buffaloes were gone. As to the 'feath-ers and flannels', he acknowledged that hehad gven them, but had given them merelyas matters of common civility. As he concluded his speech, the squaw gave a loadscream and fainted in the arms of her mother.The '.old chiefs proceeded to judgment; and,whether guided by the justice of the case,or touched with the sufferings of the squaw,brought in a verdict of damages, sentencingthe offender to give the broken-hearte- d fairone a yellow feather, a brooch that was thendangling from his nose, and a dozen beaver

i. : im- - - .&ius. mi uq sentence was uo sooner pro

nounced, than the squaw recovered from herswoon, sprang on her feet, clapped herhands with joy, and cried out, 'Now, I amready to court again! i

if Confections. Messrs. Duncan & Co;,of Glasgow, have invented machines, drivenby au engine of one horse power, which willproduce more sweetmeats than nine men under the old system. : These pans or machinescan be superintended by one man the heatnecessary for the work U given by steam in-

stead of a stove, over which the workmenare usually half broiled, and the articlesmanufactured never require to come in contact with the hands of the operator, in fact,the invention . is one by which all kinds ofconfections can bo produced in the most sa-tisfactory manner. One thousand two hundred lozenges can be struck in the space ofa minute. 1 here is a great saving of fuel tothe manufacturer by the use of steam power,and of course a considerable saving in thematter of wages.

THEITvariiTTr Till f nnHV. In mr school

boy days, when I loved better to rob birdsnests and plunder orchards than acquireknowledge, I have often deserted the school

room and pursued the above-mention-ed

avo-

cations in the forest, in my usual quiet man-

ner. I recollect once, when having beenlost in the intricacie of the wood, I stumbledupon a little hut. Being extremely thirsty,and rightly concluding that a spring would

be found in its vicinity, I wended my way

thither. I found it occupied by an old wo-

man, of whom I requested a draught of wa-

ter. It was soon furnished; and when I haddespatched it I was overwhelmed with ques- -

Ar'n't you one of the 'cademy boys?' in--

Germany Jenny lind and the Students.At a certain German town, last autumn,there was a tremendous furor about JennyLind, who, are after driving the whole placemad, left it on her travels early one morn-ing. .The moment her carriage was outsidethe gates, a pack of rampant students, whohad escorted it, rushed back to the inn, de-

manded to be shown Jenny's bedroom, andswept like a whirlwind up stairs to the roomindicated to them, tore up the sheets, andwore them in stripes as decorations. Anhour or two afterwards, a bald old gentleman, of amiable appearance,, an English-man, who was staying at the hotel, came tobreakfast at the table-de-hot- e, and was observed to be much disturbed in his mind, andto show great terror whenever a studentcame near him. At last he said, in a lowv6ice, to some who came near him at table,'You arc English gentlemen, I observe?Most extraordinary people these Germanstudents; as a body, raving road, gentlemen.''Oh, no, said somebody, 'only excitable,but very good fellows, and very sensible.''By heavens, sir!' returned the old gentle-man, still more disturbed, 'then there'ssomething political in it, and I am a markedman. I went out for a little walk this morn-

ing, after shaving, and while I was gone;'he fell into a terrible perspiration when

he told it 'they burst into my bedroom, toreup my sheets, and are now patrolling thetown in every direction with bits of 'era intheir button-holes- .' In the confusion, thestudents had gone into the wrong room.Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.

A True and a False House of Commons.A vigillant and jealous eye over executory

and judicial magistracy; an anxious care ofpublic money, an openness, approaching to-

wards facility, to public complaint: theseseem to be the true characteristics of aHouse of Commons. . But an addressingHouse of Commons, and a petitioning nation; a House of Commons full of confidence, when the nation is plunged in despair;in the utmost harmony with Ministers whomthe people regard with the utmost abhor-rence; who vote thanks, when the publicopinion'calls upon them for impeachments;who ' are eager to grant, when the generalvoice demands account; who, in all disputesbetween the people and the administration,presume against the people: who punishtheir disorders, but refuse even to inquireinto the provocations to them: this is an un-

natural, a monstrous state of things in thisconstitution. Such an assembly may be agreat, wise, awful senate ; but it is not, toany popular purpose, a House of Commons.

He has visited all Europe, notto survey the sumptuousness of palaces, orthe stateliness of temples; not to make accurate measurements of the remains of an-cient grandeur, nor to form a scale of thecuriosity of modern art ; not to collect medals,' or eolate manuscripts: but to dive intothe depths of dungeons; to plunge into theinfection of hospitals; to survey the man-sions of sorrow and pain ; to take the gaugeand dimensions of misery, depression, andcontempt; to remember the forgotten, to at-

tend to the neglected, to visit the forsaken.and to compare and collate the distresses ofall men in all countries. . His plan is origi-nal ; and it is as full of genius as it is of hu-

manity. It was a voyage of discovery ; acircumnavigation of charity. Burke.

Special Verdicts. The verdicts rendered by jurors are sometimes rather queer documents, as most lawyer have had means ofknowing, but there was one returned by aCattaraugus county (N. Y.) jury, recently,more laughable than any other that we everheard or read of. It appears that three youngmen were tried in that county for shootingand mortally wounding a dog, and the writ-ten verdict of the 'twelve good men and true,'was m the following words, to wit: 'Allthree guilty; plaintiffs damages assessed atsixpence ; and each of the defendants to haveanother shot at the dog!
