      THE STATE OF THE QUESTION . BY M . DE CORMENIN . PREAMBLE . I might have hnd , and yet I would not have , tbe honour of" making thu CAarte with the hasty constituents of 1830 , uud the people well knows why '" V * " 0 frauk nut to cohfl > S !» tuat I would have made it differently , but I am at the same time ton j . nt not to acknowledge , that although the Vhur ( c \ l , < ully understood and ill applied , way uriunmch us ii ^ mW as possible to the de » nvi ol the absolutists , slill the U . urle , well understood and well upp ! i .-. J , would approach as Bear .

      It u a bad way of putting the question to snv , the King ought to have this or that prerogative , because abstractly lie is the King ; for , iu all Europe , there are not two Kings who resemble each other , either in the attributes of their power , or the forms of their ( lovrrnraent . There is the King of the Turks , who impales on ' . he end of a stake his lucky Osmanlis , or who mtehes them up iu a sack , and sends them head foremost to the bottom of the Bosphari ' ts . There is the King of the Russians—gr * at and small—who would send his dearly beloved suV . jects a huirdred feet below the ground , if they gave any indications of being liberal , however slight-yes , eveu as slight as those given by M . Mole . There is the King of tha Austrian * , whose paternal despotism is tempered by the SctUugue * niid tho Curcerc daro .

      There is the King of the Prussians , whoso illustrious despotism advnncea towards a constitution underthe escort of the provincial establishment ? , and the learned and liberal impulse of Northern Germany . There is the King of the Swedes , who still is such to his orders of pedants and r . oblcs . There is the Kiug of the Di'nes , an autocrat bourgeois , who rises from table , his nap kin u n der hw arm , to give audiencv to peasants in sabots . There is the King of the Neapolitans , who allows bis subjects to bnsk in the sun atone the uuavs of the

      voluptuous I ' artheuope , who treats the people of Sicily a ^ a conquered nation , and deigns to grant amnesties to bis Sovereign . There is the King of the Belgians , who playa at " Puss hi the corner , " ( lejcn des quatrc coins ) aud always finds the place occupied . There is a Queen of England , who officiates pontincally , and has masses . offered to her . who makes duktM and peer * carry her train , who crowuaher virgin forehead with , a diadem of pearls and rubies , who is honoured by the bmidud knee , but , in spite of all , has uot th « liberty of choosin /< her own ladies of the chamber .

      I here is a Qaeen of Portugal , who issues her vivats and her oaths by turns , between two charters , one of which comes lrom—1 know not where , aud the other from—1 know not whom . There is a Queen of Spain , who has always a change of two or three constitutions , to be used as the revolution , tht Camarilla , as the foreigner happens to be predominant . Fin a ll y , there is a King of the French , who reigus uniformly by the Clturte . But this , it seem * , is not enough ior certain clever people , who would have a snper bum-tit kiny , sent by Heaven , or springing from himself—a king of pure im a gin at i o n a splendid king , whose virtuous h ' inds should confound the double power of Napoleon and Louid

Sometimes they pretend , that when Royalty sides . with the peerage , the Chamber of Deputies 1 ought to yield the point—for , as there are two against ope , there is necessarily a majority Sometimes they insinuate that the electors are tie trop , artd that things would go on muck better if the Chamber could be done away with altogether ; and I think with them , that they would arrive sooner at the point to which we tend . Sometimes they violently maintain that the King knows everything , and can d 6 even-thing , which 1 ? as much as to say that he can do all that is agreeablu to them , and give them all that they'desire . There . are tio yreroKatvVes

      too foolish for these ambitious people to forge , no golden'dreams which they do . not pumiein their cupidity , no servile chamber which these flatterers of the Court , the police and the Cabinet , do nptlay at the feet of the Ministry , Truly , one would think thatth «« ris ; in of our political powers was lost in the obscurity of ages , not that they were the mere offspring of yesterday—that we feaw them rise from the paving-stones of the barricadoes , and that the Charte assig ned , tp each power , with clearness and precisian , its extent and 1 U limits . . -To the people , sovereignty ; to the King , the throne ; to the electors of the country , the Chamber ; to the Chamber , power ; to the Minister ? , the Ckarte the Government ; sucn is the programme of the
