the kixoston chronicle saturday september 24 1831 1 the georgia from liverpool to boston brings dates r the 6th and london intelligence to the 5th our readers will perceive that the executive government of france is again prostrate below the spirit of the revolution that spirit whe ther good or cvil seems at present to rule the destiny of the nation likethe vision of ham let it beckons on the king to follow it and phi lip does not show that he possesses the power or has the mill or the hardihood to say speak i will go no farther v the circumstances of this new demonstration of the ultraliberal party will be found in our ex tracts from these it appears that the party so named is acting on a principle still more dan gerous than even those it has manifested in re gard to the internal government of france it is no less than usurping for the chamber the ar bitration of peace or war this is an excess which tends beyond even the principle of a well ordered republic it leaves to popular irritati on or excitement a decision involving the most fatal and unforeseen consequences and deprives a nation of thatdeliberatc choice of the time and manner even supposing the object just on which its influence and success must depend much as we desire the end in view we should wish to see it come in a less questionable shape and we would augur more happy results did we perceive in the counsels of france a more ra tional and stable principle it is an old saying that men should be just before they arc gener ous we should say of france let it show the world some more steady proofs of the benefits it has derived from freedom such as they seem to prize before they extend the blessings to ftlfcwk the truth we fear is that france could be re conciled to a more moderate system it could have been reconciled to the bourbons it could be so to the views of its present monarch but the french cannot get reconciled to themselves the reminiscence of their late glory and thei restless longing for some new path and titles to fame arc the passions which now ferment in their politics the various revolutions through which they have passed cannot but have creat ed more temperate schemes and hopes in most minds but france deprived of nearly all her loreign possessions and colonics her commerce diminishing with an encreasing populationmust continue to nourish within herself those unquiet and visionary men whose temper every where contagious is pestilential with so mercurial a people as the french what mr burke said of the old noblesse may now be applied to a ten fold more numerous and active portion of soci ety that they have no alternative but to die of war or ennui the sentiment of the humane poet is thus be lied war is no longer the game which kings wish
