Among the people of rank at Paris, the sentiment that is uppermost at present is, that they are relieved from a tyranny which, though not sanguinary, pursued them through every interest and almost every incident of domestic life, with incessant interference and vexation. The only sure and permanent prognostic of civil liberty, that I could hear of in France, is the pro- digious subdivision of land, and the unprecedented multitude of persons directly possessed of that pro- perty. An estimate, wh...ich seemed to come from au- thority, made it as high as three millions of persons. CORRESPONDENCE. 207 So great a proportion of this must be held upon revo- 1814. Lutionary titles, or upon titles founded in the new law iEx 37> of succession, that one should hope that so much at least of the benefits earned by the revolution, as con- sists in this equitable law, and in the salutary transfer of vast domains to the people, must be secured for ever, and fortified against the designs of the court by an insuperable bulwark of such interests and such numbers.
