      Parliamentary Review. The Session Which ...

      any body that ever Eat ra thu country , not excepting the famous Ramp Parliament . Unfortunately for ns we have no Cromwell now to kick them out , and lock the doer afterwards . The speech which the Ministry had prepared for closing the session , was strikingly in accordance with the character of the session itself . Apart altogether fiom its vulgar , slovenly , slipshod , ungrammatical composition , it was in all other respects a miserable produc tion . The Encumbered ( Irish ) Estates Bill , the Scotch Entail Bill , and the Sanitary Bill , are the only measures enumerated as having been passed into laws . In order to swell the list , the Irish Poor Law , which was passed in the closing . i _ At _i . _« _.. _< . _«( in _trila _onnnfra _vtrtf AVrianf ;« ir >

      session of the last Parliament , is pressed into the service , and by way of making some show , the distress in Ireland , the voluntary contributions for tbe relief of that distress , and other equally foreign topics are lugged into tbe speech head and shoulders ; the ingenuity of its author must have been exceedingly bard taxed to spin such a yam ont of the meagre materials he had furnished for the purpose , and in order to eke out something like a decent number of paragraphs , much is said about foreign affairs , and something about" organised Confederacies , to excite my suffering subjects to rebellion in . Ireland . " If the review of the past is barren and disheartening , the peep into the political future of Lord John

      Bussell is equally so ; there is no hope held out ot any attempt , or even tf the existence of a desire to make an attempt , to grapple with the great questions of the age . Lord John and his colleagues have carried the laissez faire principle of modem government to its highest state of perfection . Henceforth everything that mnst require to be looked after , amended , and regulated , is to be let alone , Parliament , or , in other words , 656 gentlemen f ree to do what tbey like , are tobe at liberty to make what speeches and motions they please . Lord John holds

      that it is no part of the constitutional duty of a Go-Terament to prepare public measures , or to superintend their passage throug h the house . The whole functions ef the Executive Govemment , according to his new theory , consist in collecting the taxes , spending them , and recemng their own salaries regularly . It is just as well that the conntry should know this , and be prevented from indulging any expectations , which are certain to be disap . pointed , so long as the present men remain in office .

      The || worst of it is , that we do not seem any other _qnarter better men to take their places . We do not mean by that there are not better men in tie conntry , bnt simply , that in the present stae of parties no other administration bnt the p etfi t is practicable . The Whig Radical party are ni mer ' - cally too weak , even if they were united , to suilain _l _minbtry of tbat parry , and that they are am filing bnt united is well-known to everybody . Cn the Other hand , the continued division of the two BeO

      tiocs of the former Conservative party , neat aliiJi ihe chance of either holding the reins of power . The Whigs are strong only in . he weakness and division of the other parties in ti t House . To that feet alone can be attributed the political puzzle of a Ministry continuing to exist , and to have a chance of retaining office for some time to come , which is looked upon with general dissatisfaction and contempt by all parties in the country except its own immediate on-hangers .

      Mr Disraeli , in bis clever _resutrg of the Session , ¦ bad to clear the House of Commons from the blame of being accessory to the lame , impotent cor > _-clusion of aten months' Session | _, aud to some extent successfully . We have frequently stated our own conviction _^ that there was no lack of will to work on the part of Parliament , but that its energies were wasted and misdirected in consequence of the _svant of clear-headed and business men at the head of affairs to give them a right direction , to prevent useless debates , and to keep them properly

      employed with matter * of real and pressing importance . Li fact , Mr Disraeli's speech was but an elaboration of this statement Bat" two blacks don ' t make a white . " Mr Disraeli , in his witty and sparkling speech was successful in showing the incapacity of Ministers , but when he added , he had vindicated the character of the Commons , he went too far . Tbe Parliament which submitted to become useless or mischievous in the hands of a useless and mischievous admiBistration , must take its fair share of the blame which attaches to such conduct .

      We observe that some of the Ministerial papers are trying to throw all the blame of the long session and its beggarly performances ou those Siamese twins , Messrs Anstey and Urqnhart . Undoubtedly , these pragmatical and babbling fellows have wasted a good deal of time , which mig ht have been more usefully spent ; but , admitting that their speeches S 3 calculated by Mr Osborne , would be equivalent to a five weeks' debate , that will not account for the melancholy failure which every one admits the session to be : the necessity of putting a stop tothe ceaseless flow of words ,

      •• In _xvm vtesfc , vraifey , everlasting flood _, from such endless spouters , however , appears to haye attracted attention in various quarters . A Committee ef the House has reported several suggestions , based principally onthe views of the Speaker ; and we observe that Mr O'Connor has given notice for next session of a limitation of the time of speaking -which , we believe , wonld be fonnd most beneficial ia practice . If a man cannot clearly state his ideas on any ordinary subject in twenty minutes , or

      half-anionr , he bad better keep quiet , and , like the silent member , say— " ditto to Mr Burke . " The evil of long speeches has attained an intolerable height . A member thinks he is nothing unless he can keep on his legs for two or three hours , while , in the course of his tiresome , prosy , and common-placeharangue , he will not state a single new fact , throw the slig htest new light upon the question , or lay down any great first p rinciple by which it should be -tested and decided . Lacking the possession of quality they endeavour _to-make it up by quantity .

      With a few closing remarks on the session next week , we shall be glad to bid it " _good-br , " and _consign it to that oblivion or contempt which awaits it in history .

      To The Working Classes. ' Words Are Thin...

      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . ' Words are things , and a email drop of ink _Falling—like dew—upon a thought , produces Ihat wbich makes thousands , perhaps millions , think . ' _Bikoh . THE FRENCH 'REPUBLIC Brother _Pboistabiakb , Exulting over the downfall of Loms Blakc , ths Truss hai addressed a aeries of articles to that proscribed friend of the human race , for the professed purpose of showing the folly and wickedness of _revolutionary changes ; and the wisdom of , and happiness arising from , the anti-revolutionary career ot the peopleof this _oanntry . ' The French Revolution , ' says the Truss , ' was concerted and executed npon the pretest ol _securing a greater liberty of the subject , and mora advanced political freedom . . ' Instead of this state of freedom bavins been established , the Times , in describing the _* IV \ _fTiTn TtT _/^ _TkTTTXT _/^ 4 _~* T i _ffnilr .

      actual situation of France , truly shows that— 'The personal freedom of French citizens is at an end . The courts of jestica and the forms of law are superseded by courts-martial , at which individual ? , arbitrarily arrested , ara summarily condemned to penalties which nothing bnt the discretion of the judge regulates . There can be no political clubs , dinners , er demonstrations ; no protests , pamphlets , or remOBStrances . The entire press is under the irresponsible control of a military officer , who suspends , suppresses , or seizes any publications tending to embarrass or obstruct bis _pslioy . ' The Truss adds a good deal in illustration of the misery of the working classes , and concludes by asserting that alt these evils , oppressions , and disappointments are the

      natural and necessary consequences of the Revolution of February . The Tores thereupon argues that that revolution was both a folly and a crime . _^ Here I must observe—paradoxical as it may seem —that the Revolution was not the work of the _Revolutionist * . The responsibility of that catastrophewhether a folly er a crime , or both—rests with King Surra andhis Man Friday , Guizot . The Revolution ef February was the natural aud inevitab . _' _econclusion of the corrupt and despotic system founded on tbe barricades of July ; just as the Revolution of ' 93 was the necessary result of the grindiEgdespotism of LomsXlV ., tbe profl-gacy of Louis XV ,, aud the imbecility of Loms XVI . ; and just as the present damnable tyranny—the heartless role ef the workmen-slaying bourgeoisie—ii sure to bring fotth another straggle . The Times speaks of Loms Bmhc as the representative of ideas destined to be effaced as soon

      as they were expressed . ' * Effaced ! ' Does the _TiUKS-writer imagine that ths 'ideas' he speaks of I were massacred in the June slaughter f or flung into the Seine ? or shot in the callers of the Tuileries ! j or bave been transported by ths autccraticcommand of Dictator _Cavatqvac ? Effaced , indeed ! The I'ideas ' of JUSTICE will , I believe , yet eSacethe i false , plundering , acd murdering system whioh—all the world over—is champienised by the truculent Tore ? . If net , if fate has decreed tbe perpetuation of tbe reign of triumphant crime—that the labourer shall for ever be the prey of the _spoiler—I can , at all events , tell the Truss-writer one thing—thatthe men who have imbibed the 'ideas' he scoffs at , are in no humour to succumb to tbeir conquerors ; but , even if vanquished in tbe future , as tbey have been already , will , nevertheless , commit their cause to their descendants , in the fervent faith that

      'B ) dy killiag tyrants caanot kill Tae public soul , the hereditary will—Which _downward , as from sire to son it goes , By shifting bosoms more intensely glows—Its heir-loom is the heart , and _slaoghter'd men Fight fiercer in tbeir orphans o'er again . ' The existing tyranny in France—the destruction ofpublrc and _pergonal freedom—the enslavement of the press—the misery , prescription , and massacre of the working classes , is not ts be attributed—as the Times falsely _averts—to tha Revolution of February , bat to the fact that the principles of tbat revolution have not been carried ont . It ia ( and has hitherto bsen ) too trae , _astheTnm says , that' The poor monopolise aslargea ' proporticn ol the miseries

      ofa revolution as of the calamities ofa famine . ' Bat why so ? Because of the ignorance of the people themselves , tbe treachery or incapacity of tbeir leaders , and the intrigues of their esemies . Aa I have Bhown in previous letters , these three causes bave all been in active operation to produce the ' Dead-Sea fruits' which , ' fair to the eye bnt within dust and ashes , ' bave been brought forth by the ' tree of liberty' planted on the 21 th of February . Speaking of 'happy' conservative England , ss contrasted with unfortunate revolutionised France , the Truss bids Louis Blakc bend his steps ' from Leicester-square to tbe Boulevard ef London , and he will find that instead of four shops eat of five

      being closed , the whole line of Regent-alreet is _glittering with the merchandise of the world , and yet animated with tbe expiring bustle of the season ' While on his London . ' pilgrimage I trust that the author of 'Ten Tears' will extend his researches _bayond Regent-street . Let him visit tbe purlieus of Westminster , the rookeries oi St Giles ' s , the dens ot sin , and shame , and sorrow , of want , and wretchedness , aad woe abounding in Clerkenwell , Southwark , and the Tower-Hamlets ; and existing mote or leas in all parts of this Babel . If he will do so , I promise bim sach revelations ef misery , igBorance _. andcrime , as Bball enable him to silence the Thunderer of _Printine-Honie Square .

      The journey of 'fifty miles into the conntry , ' as suggested by tiie Tings , will cot improve the picture of ' happy England . ' Labourers driven from their natural heritage , the land , may ba seen—neither few nor far between—at the miserable , profitless toil of stone-breaking , or pining like gaoled felons in Union Workhouses . If the ' fifty miles' are extended to one two . or four hundred miles , Norwich , Manchester , Liverpool , and Glasgow , will exhibit still more appalling illustrations of the 'blessings' the Truss vaunts of . Blessed may be the spider who sucks tbe life from its victim , and blessed may be the parasites of tbe aristocracy who exhibit their' { Jittering merchandise' in Regent-street , bnt not so blessed are they that have their life-blood drained to glut the

      rapacity of aristocrats , capitalists and _shopocrats . Even within sight ofthe ' glittering' heaps gathered together ia this metropolis , famishing creatures exhibit their rags and misery , because denied 'the right to labour ; ' and many a houseless wanderer is even refused the temporary shelter of the inhospitable acd filthy casual ward oi the workhouse . The Times talks of bloodshed and massacre in France , but let the Times remember the victims of the Irish famine , and reflect that those who fell on both sides in the June insurrection , numbered not a tithe of those who recently perished by famine , and faminecreated pestilence under the operation of the blessed acti-revolutionary system commended to the admiration of Locis Bukc .

      Tha Times of Monday last contained a note from Louis _Busc , in which the writer intimated that a number of Englishmen , partaking his opinions , had expressed a desire to give him some publio demonstration of their sympathies , wbich , with all thankful acknowledgements , he declined ; he conceiving it to be his duty to abstain from taking part in public manifestations whilst a sojourner ini this conntry . I consider the illustrious exile has taken a wise course in coming to this decision ; although had he decided otherwise , _thousands would have been only toe hapiy to have paid their respects to this persecuted champion of the rights of labour . The Times of tbia day ( Thursday ) eoBiaiiw a leader / on thia subject . The _TniEs-witMaffects to

      be at a loss to conceive who the parties ean be who desired to express theic respect for Loms Blanc ; and wonders what kind of sentiments or ideas can have animated them . The rest of the article is an outpouring of venom againBt . the exiled patriot , written for the purpose of making it appear that he _isresponsible for the blood of tbe workmen shed in Jane , and for all the miseries they are now suffering . The Truss asserts that Loo ts Blakc sought io transfer property from the middle classes to those below them ; snd tbat , therefore , the middle classes rebelled . At last , then , even the Times confesses

      that the _shopocracy were Uie real rebels . Bnt it is false that Lons Busc sought to deprive the middle classes of their property . What he sought was to _toEssrve to the working men their property—the fruits of their industry , hitherto 'pillaged' by the classes above them . It was to conserve , not their own property , but their power of robbery , that the bourgeoisie rebelled , and succeeded in forcing the workmen once more behind the _barrieades . The combat of Jane was forced on by the bourgeoisie , who _wishe _* to ' strike terror 'into the hearts of tb & ouvriers , and thereby put a stop to their efforts to redeem them selves from social slavery .

      The Times wants to know if the English ' sympathisers ' include- a single person . who conscientiously believes thit Franca would have been rendered lees miserable , or French _prospectB le < s gloomy , by the success ofthe 'advanced' Republicans , A ' lthonga I am not included amongst the patties , who appear to have been iu communication with _Lorn ' _s Blanc sines his arrival in London , yet as I do sympathise with _thatpnre-hesrted patriot ; and , I may add _expre-rs , too . the sympathies of multitudesof my country-flees , I m _^ y sa y , that I have no hesitation in answering the queries put by the Times in the affirmative . I mote than believe , I am confident , that had the majority of the Provisional Government belonged to the * advanced Republic , ' Franca wonld at this moment —in spite of temporary anffering—been on the high road to real and lasting prosperity and happiness . As it is , fntnre revolutions will ba the natural and inevitable consequence of tke triumph of the oour

      gemsie . The calumnies castapon Louis Blakc by the Times . are quite in accordance with the character of thai paper . The exile has one consolation—that journal is _recegnisad , all the world over , as the unscrupulous _defender of the crimes of capital ; and enjoys in this country the special hatred ef the working classes , as the pitiless and truculent enemy of the rights of Labour .

      To The Working Classes. ' Words Are Thin...

      _Lamib _twu _his just published a pamphlet , addressed to the electors of the different departments by which ha was returned to the National Assembly , giving an account of his conduct and _motive whilst in power , and replying to the various _attaoksthat have been made upon him . On ene point , the malversations which have been by some parties imputed to the chief of the late Provisional government , LjJMAB tihe s statement ia perfectly satisfactory . On all otherpomts his explanations condemn him , and must for ever put an end to any connexion he may have hid with tho ultra-democratic party . LAM 4 BTIBE confesses tbat in tbe very hour which saw the organisation of the Provisional government there commence d 'the conflict between the two - .

      RepuVUcs , '—that is the' Red' or real Republic , and tbe 'Moderate' or sham Republic He prides himself on having showed unyielding and successful opposition to those whom he terms 'men ol another epoch ; ' and denies that he ever promised the working classes ' thB organisation of labour . ' _HeaajB . that in a speech he delivered to the Socialist workmen when they presented themselves en masse at the Hotel de Ville and insisted on the _iesue of a proclamation promising the organisation of labour , he declared that if he were to be placed at tbe month of twenty pieces of cannon he would not sign

      the phrase organisation du travail , _beoause after _filteea years' Btudy he had not been able to understand it . Very honest , no doubt . But must the masses continue to suffer because of Lamabraw ' s _thick-headednesB ? Had he been the conscientious gentleman he affects to bs , he would not have accepted tbe post of chief of the Provisional Government , he would have made way for a wiser man . And had the two hundred thousand workmen acted wisely on the 17 sh of Marcb , they would have hurled him and the majority of hia colleagues from power , to the cry of 'Get you gone , give place to better men !'

      Bnt I shall prove _Lahabiinb guilty of something very like prevarication . Granted that he did make the speech be says he did on the 17 th of March , he had at least twoweeh previously sanctioned the publication of the following documents : — Whereas , the Revolution having been accomplished by the psople , ought to be accomplished for the people ; whereas , the time _hts arrivod for putting a _s'optotbe long and iniquitous sufferings ef the workman ; whereas , this subject is one of immune importance , and worthy of tbe greatest consideration of a republican _government ; it therefore behoves France to deliberate carefully , and to _beitow it * earnest attention upon this problem which is sow placed before the Industrial nations of Europe , and to consult , without a moment ' s delay , upon the means of guaranteeing to tbe people tie legitimate fruits

      of their labour . The provisional _goreroment decreetthat a permanent committee be appointed , to be entitled the ctmmittee for tbe govtrnnum ef workmen , Kith the express acd special mission to wa ' _. cb over their Interest ' . In order to demonstrate the importance which the _provisional government attaches to the sola * tion ef this grand problem , it appoints as _President of the committee , one of its memb rs , U . Louis Blanc , and _motier of lti members , M , Albeit ( mechanic ) , to be Vice-President . Workmen will themselves be called upon to f .-rm a portion oftbe committee , which will sit at the palace of the luxemiourg . ( Signed ) Louis _Blako , _fiiBNIKa _Pagbs , Abicamo Uaksait , That tbs Republic guarantees an existence to erery one through labour ; tbat it guarantees work to every citizen .

      It recognises tbe right ef _worknren to associate amocg _themselves in order to enjoy the fall benefit ot their _lsbsar . It premhei to _glv # to the owners tbe million cutoff from tha civil list . Gaskisb _Paoii , Lodii Blanc . 'The Provisional Gorernment decrees . ' Lamabtine does not and cannot deny that he was a party to the decree for tbe appointment of' the committee for the government of workmen . ' The mission of that committee was _^ to ascertain'the means' whieh wera to ba applied by tbe government to put a stop to tbe long and iniquitous sufferings of the workmen , ' by ' guaranteeing to the people the legitimate fruits of their labour . ' This decree was signed not merely by Loms Busc , bnt also by Marrast iudGAWHBR PAOKB _. _thesworn friends of Lamartinb , and _thebitter

      enemies of Loms Blanc . But the second decree is still more forcibly expressed : — _« Ra Republic guarantees an existence to eaerg one through labour ; it guarantees work to every citizen' Tois decree also bears the signature of Garnish Pagbs . 'Will Lamartine deny that decree ? A foitnight later , when surer of the support of the bourgeoisie who were again lifting their beads and already conspiring against the Democracy , as manifested by their demonstration on the 16 th of March , and when he had commenced his smuggling o f troops into the capital , then it appears to have suited bim to deolare himself against the organisation of labour . Bnt he cannot declare away the decrees above recited . They stand in tbe records of the Revolution and ara not to be effaced by any amount of poetical , egotistical _rigmamle . even though signed by tha ones ' magio name ' of Lamahtini .

      Lamariisk says , 'that cn the sixth day after the _Revolution , he had the idea of abolishing tbe penalty of death for political offences , ' and he says , ' the ame inspiration descended at ] the same time from Heaven into the breasts of bis colleagues . ' lie adds _, tbat aftrr the abolition of death was unanimously vo ' . ed , the members of the provisional government ' fell into tbs arms of each other , and gave each other the kiss of life ! ' I think I see them sow ! Marbast tagging Lbdbtj Rollin , Abaoo _passionately embracing _Loois Blanc . Mabie _clamping Flocos to his heart (?) , Garsikb Pages doing the amiable by Albert , and , lastly , Lamartine giving the 'kiss of life' all round . Such a sight would bave made

      even Launce _' s dog weep tears of sympathy , had he been present . It is true there is the other side of the picture : —Lauartinb , Abaoo Mabib and Marbast giving their evidence before the Committee of Investigation ( query— -Assassination ) . and doing their best _totfestroy , both ' politically and morally , the men to whom the ; had given ' the kiss of life . ' But _ofcoBrieallthis is natural , for has sot _Lamarting said ( see evidence before _Odillen Barrot ' s committee ) that' facts are connected together in political order in the same manner as in moral order . ' No _dnnbt the kiss of Mabbasi is as ' connected' with traaohery , as waa the kiss of Judas !

      Lauabtiss includes amongst the grounds of his claims to the confidence of the bourgeoisie , that he cave nothing but' soft words' to the Poles and the Irish , armed assistance , or any real assistance , he never intended to give to either . And so , as ' soft words butter no _parBnipB , ' tbe ' oppressed _nationalities' are just where they _wero . ' or rather worse than they were , from theidisappointment of hopes excited by the Revolution of February , bnt whioh hopes Lauartinb took good care should not be realised . On the charge of having encouraged attempts of armed pr- _^ pagand _ism against Belgium , Germany , and Savoy , Lamabtwe declares tbat formal _ordeis wero given and proclamations issued to prevent such attempts , and tbat when bodies of men wera

      assembled to make them they were dissolved . He appeals to aU governments , and says : — 'If there be one wbich accuses the Minister of Foreign Affairs ot cotaolicity , or even negligence , in the repression of those attempts , I declare myself convicted of felony . ' This is bold speaking , butis it truth-speaking ? Why it is ' as notorious as tha tun at noon-day' that 'legions' of Belrians , Germans , Poles , and Italians , wera openly and regularly enrolled and organised in the streets of Paris . Tho projected invasion of Belgium was universally talktdofin Paris , and will this man , who acknowledges that as Minister for Foreign Affairs , ho bad the sum of 293 , ( 100 francs of secret service money at his disposal , for the pur . pose of obtaining information , _&<* _., will he pretend

      that he was ignorant of what was known tb every faminin Paris ? No one oan donbt that he knew all abont it . and connived at it , not for the purpose of revolutionising Belgium , bat for the purpose of _seouring the destruction of the revolutionists ; Iiad heacted an honest part , he would have forbidden the enrolment of the ' legion , ' or at any rate bave prevented the departure of the misguided men from Paris . He did neither . He allowed the poor fe ' - Iowsto proceed openly by railway to tho frontier , where they were trapped and _destroyed . It will be remembered that the first detachment was taken by the train acron the frontier , and set down in tbe very midst of an armed force oi Belgiaa troops drawn up to surround them . Tbo * vtho followed , though they defeated an intended repetition of this treachery and stopped shcrt at the French side of the frontier , wera compelled by the persecution of the Pro

      visional Government ' s agents to cross into Belgium , where they were shot down or taken prisoners . In this day ' s Stab will bo found tbe names ofa number of men who bave been condemned to death by the Belgian government for having taken part in or favoured ' the invasion- ' Some of these unfortunate men I know personally , and I am acquainted with the names of others as pure and ardent democrats . Judge then whether I hare not got too good reason to feel more than I shall allow ray pen to expte » in ths way cf disgust aod indignation towards tbis _LiUABTiirs , whom I shall regard as mainly responsible for the blood of my betrayed friends , if that blood be shed . But perhaps Loms _Philippe ' s daughter may remind Lkopold of the uncertainty of fortune , and the instability of thrones , and in that ease thB condemned democrats may be spared to witness happier times , which mutt not vet ba despaired of .

      I admit tbat proclamations were issued against the attempts at' armed propagandism ; ' and , in seme instances , srmed bodies of men were dissolved .

The results may bave been less sanguinary but the policy of both was LiMAHTisB states that it was he who proposed the organisation of the Garde Mobile , whioh saved Paris and Franca onthe 23 rd of June , and asks if that were want of foresight ? No . ' It was , on the con-.

      trary , proof of a far-seeing policy , thooghoopied from the policy oi kings : —* Divide and oanquer ! ' The Garde Mobile , taken from the most ignorant and _reckless orders of the Parisian populace , were supplied with arms and uniforms , and attached to the government _bi pay fourfold the amount received by the soldiers ot the line . _Tcese were the tools whfch Lamabtisb had the _'foresight' to prepare against the day when the real workmen should _desoend int ) tbe streets , to enforce b y arms the fulfilment ofthe promises made by tho Provisional government in the deorees I have recited . For thia detestable foresight he deserves the admiration of the bourgeoisie- Why ara they so ungra teful as to withdraw irom hira the confidence which he proves himself so well entit ' _edt- !

      Lamabtinb attempts to clear himself el any share ot responsibility , on account of the June insurrection . He states that he gave it as his opinion' that tho workmen employed in the national _workshops should be sent to work on railways , _otherwiBB * a battle would ensue on the dissolution _^ the ateliers . ' Here is an admission tbat , in spite ofthe lies contained in tho proclamations of tbe Assembly , in Omnon Barrots committoe _' s ' report , ' and in the news papers , French and English—tha lies about ' war against society '—' war _aeninat property and family , ' Ac , the conflict was , in fact , as h * s been repeatedly stated in this journal , a war for labour , bread , and life . Liuatitink next shows how zealously he

      laboured to fill Pans with troopB ; and that he was unceasingly occupi _* d kr ' a day or two previous to the outbreak on the 23 rd of June , in confering with generals , and making all railitary preparations for combat , Itnever seems to have struck this humanity-monger , who had been so _zealous in proposing the abolition of _death-pnoisbments , tbat the execution of thousands ih tha streets by bayonets and cannon , was something more horrible than the guil lolining of a _^ few individuals . Nor does ha appear to bave thonght that the _bloodshed he was _prepsrinf for could have been _prevented , had the gover _iment of whioh be was a member , set about making good the _proaiaes they had given four months before to tbe deceived , disappointed , and de ? _psirini { workmen .

      The last paragraph I shall notice in _Lamarti-ib ' s precious statement , is the following : — TheRepub'lo , Inspired by Washington , shall triumph cv _. r the Republic of BAtoeuf _, Itobtsplerre , and _Dan' . oa ! In _otherages , other ideas other thoughts , other men ! lbi « is the truth with regard to society . Fiols will swallow this as a piece of profound political philosophy . If , as Lamartine _ssys , tbe ideas , thoughts , and men of' 93 would be out of place now , how comes it that the ideas , thoughts , and men of ' 76 wonld be in place ? Granted that the Repnblioo ? _Robbspikbbk is of the past , the Republic of Washington is of the older past . In fact , tbe Republic of Washington was bat the _Eaglish Republic ef 1645 reproduced and brought to perfection on tha

      American continent . Washington was a good and Bkilful man , and also a great man for his time . But he would not _Buit the present time , no more than would _Wallace , tha hero of Scotland . Waimcb was a great roan forthe time , when it was necessary to lead a _natio _^ to the recovery ef its outraged nationality . But _Wallacb is _ndt wanted now . The Radicals used to toast the memories of 'Hahpbkn who died on field , and _Stonmt on the scaffold , * but this toast has passed away . Hampden and Stoney were no doubt very good patriots for their time . Th « y were' chosen men * to war againBt kingly despotism and priestly tyranny ; but in these times ' we have other fish to fry . ' _Washington ' s name shines in history ' s page , but principally because he was an exception to the long list of successful soldiers wbo hav 6 abused the power they acquired by arms . Considering the

      circumstances of hia time , he played his part _we'I in _as-Bistinginthe establishment of tbat political system which sufficed to protect the liberties of his countrymen , and which has pretty well Berved tho same purpose up to this time . But already Araerioa needs a greater than _Wabhikgton ; a legislator to provide remedies for those _seoiai evils whioh arc fast neutralising the political institutions of the Commonwealth . Republicanism sufficed for _Washington ' s time , but will not suffice muoh longer . The social causes wbich produce orimeand misery in Paris acd London _aisin full _operation in New York , producing there like effeots . It ' needs no ghost _oome from tho grave' to enable any man who oan think for himself , to predict that tbe day will oome when , uoless tbe social svstem of America is thoroughly reformed , blood will Sow in Now York as lately it _a-iwedinPafw .

      The Republic of _Ronst-PiEBBR ( that is to say , the Republic which existed in the tim . e of _RemupiKBBX , but not the Republio be aimed at founding ) , was inevitable for its time , but its reproduction would be an immeasurable calamity ; nevertheless , and in spite of Lamabtinb ' s theory , it may be reproduced if his nonsense is acted on . The ' Republic inspired by Washington' could find neither work nor bread for the starving masses of Paris . The Republio of _Babcedf has never yet been . _Babceuf never ruled , he but conspired with a few otter met , who , like himself , were in advance of their time . The Republio of _Babqsuf is in the iuture ! I have heard tell of a 'bas * of wind , ' a ' bushel of moonshine , ' and similar anti-substantial matters ; but , for the distinction of being 'full of emptiness , ' this vain-glorious Lamartine ( regarding only his political character ) decidedly bears away the palm .

      A Fxmils Swindler.—About Two Years Since...

      A Fxmils Swindler . —About two years since , _Selina Leslie , otherwise _Giliavd , otherwise Villiers , was tried at the Bristol sessions for having fraudulently obtained a pisno from Hit Cochrane , which she shortly afterwards sold at half price . She was then acquitted , and some time afterwards went to Gloucester , where the same person , whose real name is Villiers , has just been brought by the police , before the city magistrates , charged with having obtained several articles of wearing apparel , under false pretences , from Mrs Margetson , _staymaker , of Southgate-street , A great degree of interest appeared to be manifested by a large number of _tradesmen , to hear the examination , many of tbem having beeu tbe dupes of the prisoner to a greater or less extent . It

      appeared that about a month since the prisoner went to the residence ot Miss Mogey , wh » keeps the National Sohool at Berkeley , and represented that she was in distress , but that she hoped in a few days to obtain a situation as a turnkey in the county gaol at _GlouoBster . Miss Mogey , who had been with the family of the prisoner for several years , immediately allowed her to reside at her home , and she remained there until Saturday week Jast , when she went out on an errand for her hostess , taking with her a little girl who lived with that lady . Instead of returning _ho-vever , she went to the railway station , and asked Mrlvey , the clerk , for a return ticket to _Gloucester saying that Miss _Mogoy would pay for it . Mr Ivey , happening to be well acquainted with Miss Mo : ey ,

      gave the prisoner the ticket , and steleft in the nest train , after having sent tho little girl bAck again to Berkeley . _MisB Mogey ' _ssuspjcions were aroused on hearing of thin , and on examining her _drawors , she found that nine or ten articles of wearing apparel were missing . In the train the prisoner contrived to scrape up an acquaintance with a person who , ou arriving in Gloucester , accompanied her to Dawes ' jj _ooffee-house , and requested Mr Dawes to whom he was known , to pay the greatest " attention to the lady . On the afternoon of the Sunday following , a Mrs Witham _, an acquaintance of Mr Dawe ? _, _calltd at the house , and Mr Dawes , seeing that the prisoner appeared lonely , kindly introduced Mrs Withamtoher , andthey walked out together . In

      the course of the afternoon the prisoner represented herself as being about tobe married , 8 nd requested Mis Witbam s advice as to the choioe of tradesmen _, expressing her determination to reside in Gloucester The result of this was that the shop of Mr _Foxwel ! wss recommended for dresses , and the next day the prisoner called upon Mr Foxwell in company with Mrs Witham , and made choice of an assortment of _dresaes . _rhis was followed by _» n order to Mr Stratford , cabinet maker . Mr Watts , furnishing ironmonger , Mr Ladkin , perfumer , and several other persons ; mdted , we believe ordere to the extent tf mere than one thousand _poundB were given to the various tradesmen in Gloucester . A house was _takwv bj the _pmtmw in the Spato which tho thin *

      , g ordered were to be sent , and the prisoner Was to have posEBMion on Saturday ; but , as a deposit of UO was required ,, and the morey not being forthcoming , she never had the keys . She referred to a gentleman in DubliD , but , on being written to . no such person could be found ; and this , coupled with other oircum stances , led to her apprehension . A pair of gloves was found in her possession which Mr Foxwell alleges were stolen from his shop ; and also a quantity ot papers whioh throw somo li ght on her history , and show that she is related to somo highly respectable families in that neighbourhood . As the felony at Berkeley , _wsb the clearest agaiust her , she was banded over to the conutj magistrates , and by them committed to tbe sessions .

      A _water-spout was seen , at Woodbridge , on Thursday week , passing from a long cloud along the surface of the land towards Hollesley and Bawdsey . It expended itself iu the river , near Mr Pretymsn ' s , _Ramsholt , carrying away part of an embankment . The fall of large pieces of ice and water at Bawdsey was prodigious .. —Bury Post .

      S Present And Future State Of | Europe. ...

      S PRESENT AND FUTURE STATE OF | EUROPE . Part II . The present state of Europe , the cause of ita anarchy , disunion , and confusion , and their remedy , were explained in tlie first part . The cause o f tliese evils having been discovered ; and the remedy in consequence as previousl y stated , being obvious , plain , and easy of execution ; and all the materials for effecting the change being everywhere abundant and - _^ __

      ; it being the undoubted interest of all the parties that the change should be made in . the shortest time practicable , it is now necessary to meet the real difficulty to be overcome before the change can be accomplished . This difficulty is the change from the state of falsehood , and all the evils which it has produced in practice , to an entirel y new system based on truth , and constructed in all its parts , and throughout its _ramifications , in accordance with its fundamental _principlp .

      To effect this change in practice is a straight forward operation that men experiencedin the establishment of large manufactories , in directing extensive agricultural arrangements , or in the command of combined armies , could readily be taught to comprehend . The difficulty is not to be feared in the practice , which will be beyond all comparison more easy to understand , and far more simple to execute and permanently to maintain in order and govern , than it know to conduct and control the present most divided , unjust , and disorganised state of society ; the only difficulty is in the ereation of a public opinion in favour , ' of the change _.

      The public of Europe is not onl y ignorant of what this change will be , but it is strongly and most blindly prejudiced , by the ignorance and falsehood of the old system , against any full and fair investi gation of the subject . This blindness to the almost illimitable good which may be now secured for Europe , alone prevents the immediate introduction of practical measures to well employ its population , and put it in a straight forward road to a beneficial prosperity that shall know no retrogressing , and graduall y place every class in a much more desirable condition than any class is now or ever has been .

      But nature has decreed that half measures now are impracticable , that society must have falsehood in princi ple , and endless evils in attempting to maintain it in practice ; or it must , now consent to have truth for its foundation , with a practice that shall gradually elevate all ofthe human race to become fullformed , superior , rational men and women enjoying their natural Tights as the first of terrestrial beings , directing the sciences _ofmechanismjand chemistry to create for them as many unfed and obedient , well taught slaves and servants , as they may wish or desire . AndSwhat is the real difficulty to he over ' come to attain this new state of elevated

      existence ? Merely to overcome rank ignorance , by a plain and simple statement of facts which no one possessing reasonable claims to _rationality wij _] think o f denying . These facts may be thus stated in successive order , that their consequences may be more easily perceived , and their ultimate results comprehended . 1 st . —No man made the general qualities _whicl . constitute humanity ; no man combined these in his own organisation . 2 nd . " —No man can decide upon the age of the world , the great circle of religion , the country , or the class in which he shall be born , and these decide his language , religion , and habits _.

      3 rd . —No one can decide upon the character and condition of his parents , his playmates , his instructions , or the other circumstances by which he shall be surrounded through infancy , childhood , and youth . And these circum * stances combined , compel the individual to acquire the character which they create for him , until the period of life when the superficial observers of humanity say , the individual may then form liis own feelings , thoughts , and

      conduct , by his own free will , when all his feelings , thoughts , and conduct are the unavoidable result of the physical , mental , moral , and practical powers , given to him without his knowledge or consent by all the previous circumstances which have acted in their formation , and for which no one possessing rational faculties could attribute to the individual having these powers , either merit or demerit , or suppose that they could he justl y entitled to reward or punishment .

      As the individual has been so far the creature ofthe inferior , mixed , or comparatively superior circumstances , which , without his knowledge , have formed him to be what he is , to the period when the thoughtless have been taught to imagine that he had acquired power to will , feel , think , and act , let us for a moment consider whence his capacity to feel , think , and act , has arisen . Has it not proceeded direct from his original orgaaisation , as g iven to him , without his knowledge or consent by God or Nature , and by the inferior , mixed ,

      or better circumstances , in which he and his parents have been placed by society from his birth ? Then these , so far , have formed his character for him , and whether this foundation has been good or bad , Nature a _* _ad society , and not the individual , ought to be accountable for it . If it has been made inferior or bad , the individual justly requires and deserves more sympathy , kindness , and attention by all around , to make amends for the errors of Nature—if Nature can err—and the removable errors of society , of which so far he has been the victim .

      5 th . —But fads demonstrate that , from this period of life also , the individual continues to be the creature of the inferior , mixed , or better circumstances in which society shall p lace him , for he cannot escape out of the circumstances previously created by society . And , as these are , he is yet compelled to feel , think , and act , and thus is his character always formed for him , and b y the combination of superior circumstances , with this knowledge of

      its power over individuals , society may always well form the character of every one , and surround them from birth with such a new combination of superior circumstances , no w easily _attaiaaule , that all shall be made intelligent , with good and superior habits and manners , with kind _dispositions , and a desire to promote , in all sincerity , the happiness of all others , and ' thus to secure hisfull _^ share of happiness to himself .

      6 th . —Tliat wealth is created by industry , temperance , and order , and poverty b y idleness , intemperance ) and disorder . 7 th . —That the greatest of , all absurdities is the supposition that all men cannot be well employed , made to become industrious , temperate , orderly , and good members of society , and that it is easier to maintain and govern them ia idleness , with bad habits and under inferior circumstances .

      8 th . —That it is now impossible for society longer to continue blind to its present insane condition , or to refrain from commencing the transition state for all Europe , for that which is necessary and best for any one division o it will be found to be necessary and the best for its entire population . And that which i 9 now required to effect this change is , 1 st . A settled peace throughout Europe . 2 nd . An assurance that no one , without his free consent , shall be disturbed or

      injured , in mind , body , or estate , 3 rd . ihat j new arrangements , based on the knowledge _, that the character of each is formed for him _,: shall be immediately commenced to employ all the unemployed throughout Europe . First , to j create tlieir own food and all other necessaries . and comforts of life for themselves and afterwards to aid general purposes . Second , to distribute this new-created wealth justly for themselves and society . Third , to well form the character of these persons and their childreri to fit them to become members of a rational and a very superior state of society . i Fourth , to train them not only to be well and

      usefull y educated but to govern _themselves locally without expense or trouble to the general government . Fifth , to effect these arrangements , hy the creation of superior circumstances for each of these objects , separately and combined , on the principle that man must ever he the creature of the inferior or superior circumstances in which society shall place him . Your space will not admit of more . I will pursue the subject in your next publication , merel y adding that the transition state may be made easy for all parties . Robert Owen . London , September 7 th .

      The Spirit Of Charitf. Long Experience W...

      THE SPIRIT OF _CHARITF . Long experience with the thoughts and habits of all sects , parties , and _clashes , has convinced me that the great defect of society is a want of charity for the different characters which different circumstances force upon all _> and which defect proceeds from ignorance of the cause which can alone produce real charity and bring it into dail y practice . Until this can be done anarchy , _competition > disunion , and violence will continue

      throughout Europe and the world ; it becomes , therefore , the interest of all that the spirit of charity should be made to prevail , and become general in every class , from the highest to the lowest . This first of all virtues has never yet existed among any class , sect , or party , at any time , in any country ; ' t does not exist at this dayin any nation , or among any people . How , then , is it to he introduced ? and whence the cause that this universally-recommended virtue has not been previously attained ?

      It is because all society has been based en a falsehood directl y destructive of charity , and of ali the hi ghest and finest qualities of humanity ; and false religions , and absurd superstitions , opposed to all real charity , have been substituted for that virtue , without which all other pretensions to goodness are but as sounding brass or tinkling cymbals . Witness Uie present opposition of the various sects of superstitions to each other , and solely because they know not what veal charity is , ot the only cause which can produce it . But this virtue can never be acquired , while the very germs of it are destroyed by the fundamental falsehood on which the educated character of all ia based—a falsehood made to pervade all their feelings , thoughts , and conduct ?

      The necessary effect of this falsehood is to pervert and misdirect all the qualities of humanity . The baneful influence of this false direction of good natural qualities is now experienced throughout Europe ; but mere especiall y among the three opposing sects of relig ion in Ireland . To relieve all nations and people from the dire effects of this fatal falsehood , the truth must he faithfully declared without mystery , mixture of error , or fear of man , or disunion andVant of charity _^ will , as heretofore , continue to paralyse every effort to make men charitable and kind to each other . The truth then is , that the poverty , disunion , ignorance , and crime in Ireland , arise from the want of

      charity between the three sects of religion which have so long contended against each other for mastery nnd power , and the mammon of power . These insane contentions ) are brought more into collision in Ireland than elsewhere , and the evils which they produce are _moie violent and prominent ; but the same want of charity , and the same created opposition of feelings , and the same insane conduct , are everywhere more or lets evident according to local circumstances , between all the opposing sects of religion this day , as they have been through past ages .

      The only possible way to terminate these insane feelings , and their consequent conduct , is , not by finding fault with , or punishing thc victims , whether Jew or Gentile , Mahommedan , Hindoo , Chinese , or Catholic , Episcopalian , ox Dissenter , but by openly and honestl y acknowledging the direful falsehood , from which these fearfully-opposing and ever-contending errors emanate , and are made universal . If , then , the want of charity produces disunion , hatred and crime , with their consequent misery—and charity would create union , kindness , goodness , and their consequent happiness ; it may now be asked , why has it been se long withheld

      from the knowledge and practice ofthe human race ? One true reply only can be made to this all-important question , which is , that man is born more ignorant , helpless , and powerless than all other animals ; and his faculty of imagination has been the blind pioneer of his other mental powers . Through this faculty ha has been led to believe that , in opposition to every known fac _* , he makes himself individually to be what he is , although he knows not how one human faculty is made , or the compound of his character is created . Ihe supposition that he forms himself to be what he is .

      and can , by a supposed free-will of his own creation , make himself , at his pleasure , wise or foolish , good or bad , is the cause , and the only cause , of a want of charity among the human race ; and also of all the virtues of humanity which emanate from charity . The present ignorance of all nations , respecting the true formation of the character of _afi individuals , is not onl y the cause of the want of charity over the world , but it is also the cause of the inferior , inconsistent , vicious , and insane character which has been foiced upon all , from their birth .

      This false principle , and ignorance of tbs true formation of character , is also the sole cause of anger , hatred , jealousy , revenge , illwill , and ' all tlieir direful consequences . If then Ireland , France , Italy , Germany , and the other nations of the world , are to be relieved from present and future anarchy and irrationality , such change can only be effected by abandoning the supposition that men form themselves by their own created will .

      "Were men competent to create their owa qualities , and make themselves good or badinferior or superior ; if they did not make themselves beautiful in person and perfect io mind , they would be yet more insane than their present ignorance has compelled them to become . Let the British Government , and the Governments on the continent of Europe , now openly and immediately abandon this fatal absurdity , and put themselves in the way of acquiring a knowledge of the science of well forming the human character , and Europe will rapidly become a terrestrial paradise , and its inhabitants wise , rational , and happy , to enjoy it through a long life .

      This change in princi p le and practice , from a false and misery-producing system to another based on the knowledge that man cannot form himself , may be now easil y and gradually introduced into practice , not only without injury to any , but in peace , witli order , anrj with great permanent benefit «• all ; but . until the spiritjof charity can be introduced , no permanent success can be anti * cipated , Robkrt Owen * London , Sept . 6 , 1848 .
