OF FRANCE. HIE POLICY Os the Bourbons and their Aliks unveiled. The situation of France is ac tually one of the most curious shat can be found in the Chroni .ciys of events incident to the ac tions of the human race. There exist at this moment, in relation to that unhappy country, by pub lic treaties, a stipulation for peace between the Finj of France ; and; the allied powers, and a stip ulation for war against the French between that same king and those same allied powers.— Yde really hardly know what to; think of the duke of Ricielieu, the’ principal organ of Louis 18th, in’the House of Peers ; for, ;on j the one hand, to judge him ‘by j ‘some of nis expressions he sCems j tube a man of moderate prihei-j pies ; whilst, en the other, Msj measures appear to be of a very; resolute cast, opening the way. j'S we think is clearly perceptible,: 1 toqhe most shocking condition, of things. Lis now most obvious that the great military mind of j finance will be cut off, either by death or banishment. This be ing effected, the next important step will be, we.presume,, to strip all the friends of liberty in France of their wealth, acquired during the last twenty-five years, under -tile pretext that it has been ac cumulated by revolutionary means. Numerous as this class of property holders may be, it will not be so difficult an object U> effect as, at first sight, it might eem; for the great military characters favorable-to the rights of the nation being?}in the fu st instance, put out of the way, and a.cordon of i 50,00.0 foreign troops lining the French frontier, with a promise, as we find by the: note from Mettemich, Castrifeagh, Hardenberg and Capo cl’l stria, (F \he 20th of November, 1815, to employ those troops is to sup port his most Christian majesty against every revolutionary con vulsion which might tend to over throw, by force, the order o: things at present established,” — the French people, disarmed in most of the departments even of their fowling pieces, will be o* lliged to submit. In this way a jrdllion of families will, m all pro bability, be reduced to beggary. The Bourbon royalist i wid thus secure in their own hands the ykhes of the nation, and having also the -military at command, a-, cljey to the hope of any counter ttonary opcra-.ion.
