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-,

By the Ccqpetite from Santa
Martha, we learn that, cn the
15th Jan, news arrived at Santa
Mariha of.the capture of Santa
Fee by the Royalists, amounting
to 6,C00 ; they were opposed by
2,000 patriots. Since the cap
ture ct Carthagena, Gen. Norillo
has kept the Insurgent Flag fly
ing as a decoy to vessels entering
the port:.,in consequence of
whtch’ eleven vessels had enter

were the schr. Swift, Hacket e % *
