It waa social.-; The revolution against tiit Empire was a revolution brought about uy the inattention of tho Empire to great social question. The peip!o tti i-hrge would not consent to have their fields sny longer cultivated by old men and to nave their armies of youths decim ated in foreign climes. The revolu- 4ioit f 183 wss to a certain extent likewise a social revolution; for the cIfjgyJisdrbcome pomjere) the n ble were pensioneil and Charles X. was stupid enough to attackulens ol ihouandf the laboring e'sases who depended for support on the printing ertablihment d the country, by put tin rtownthelibtMnytifltlSpVeStC The people hate over and over again endeavored to make their Govern ments understand, from the end of the reign of Louis XV. downward that the end of all p diti.-s bo-aid be the amelioration of the social condition of ttie millions, and that a new evils elte, that new remedies should be j "be in-' vented. Thi essential condition of the exist ence of all g tvernnients lias been greatly nez ectd in France. It in a deplorablr f.ict but a fact, cannot be disputed, that the men who charge themselves, -or who are charged, with the government of France, are deplora bly indilT. rent to her social state; and hence nine-tenths of the evils which now exist. You niay .well suppose, that I am not about.exaoiiui ox in June Jettec this vat, thi universal question. I am not'abou'toTpr "asuujecf as"tfii'''tn1va,fS'win'esn'6f a fw pags.

The bill has been brought in, in compliance withthe promises of the charts. Seven fears have nearly elapsed since those prom ises were made, they nave not yet been realized.- - The measure now be fore the Chamber, is partial and inef ficient it meets not the evils which exist. It is not like those large and 'general 'measures' which we i have been looking to, and which were adopted in the earlier periods of the French mon archy, when diseases, serrow and pov- erty required relief. It partakes of the character of the limes in wbiflL we live. It is a-makeshift an apology for something; which ought to be done a sharking of the question a post ponementa miserable and drivelling excuse, "" ' Jt err social tvti exisit. WTfaTis it? Why, the youth of France are igno rant, lawless," disobedient, rebellious, fond of noise, tumult, agitation, polit ical strife, given to riot and revelling, fond of display, finery conceited, pragmatical averse to control, dissat isfied with their condition in life, over ambitious, not content to work their way up by industry and application, to fame and to fortune, without good faith or honor, sly and tricking lying, dis honest, immoral, vain, indecorous, in deeent, blaspliemous, atheistical, or deistical, irreligious, and impious. This is not a political, this is a social rvil an imouftii social evil. How is it to be met P By., such a bill as.M. G u 17.0 1. the Doctrinaire Minister of public Instruction, has introduced to the chamber of Deputies, and which he tells us very candidly he does not even profess to pass this year? No nr you may as welt attempt to arrest Ovej-apidj? 'f. ..!he.JKgara-y ropeof sand, or to' stop the avalanche by the interposition of a pebble. ' "77ie yowh nf France are the hope of Franci! Well then, Fiance can lia ve no rnMferShersrjr- tfi Impc for glory, honor or happiness from her present rising generation. She has no right either to expect to make bricks without straw, or to gath er grapes from off a common ol briars, fern, and broom. If this social evil hoot i rtet, France is lost lost for ever. '-- - - Rut a it is at all times easy lo find fault, when it is nut equally so to rem edy, I wnu-ld point nut the evils iirthe present system ofcd u r a t ion in Fi ance, at the same time indicating the means of obviatin; nr at least diminishing the evils complained of. In France there exists an Universi ty. ' It head quarters are at Paris. A board of public instruction compos ed of individuals named by the Gov ernment, also sitting at Paris. The minister of Public Instruction has the charge of superintendence of all .schools in the kingdom. It is a sort of mo nopoly of educat'ma. The revolution of 1830, amongst other objects it pro. posed, was to destroy this monopoly. Seven years hsve nearly passed away, and the monopoly still exists. Still nn the Ranks of the Rhone, and the Garonne, still on the frontiers of Sa voy, in the mountains of the Pyrenees, anil on the coasts of the Mediterrane an and the Gulf of Gascony, still how ever distant and however obscure mar be the town or village, in which a school master may desire tn open a school, he cannot do so untif first licensed to teac' br the University of Psris, and by. this" Board of Public Instruction, stationed some hundred of leagues or miles from the scene ot his labors.
