----FRENCH GEND'ARMERIE. All temporal government must rest on a compromise of interests and abstractrights. Who would listen to the county of Bedford, if it were to declareitself disannexed from the British empire, and to set up for itself? * * * * * The most desirable thing that can happen to France, with her immense armyof gensd'armes, is, that the service may at first become very irksome tothe men themselves, and ultimately, by not being called into real service, fall into general ridicu...le, like our trained bands. The evil in France, andthroughout Europe, seems now especially to be, the subordination of thelegislative power to the direct physical force of the people. The Frenchlegislature was weak enough before the late revolution; now it isabsolutely powerless, and manifestly depends even for its existence on thewill of a popular commander of an irresistible army. There is now in Francea daily tendency to reduce the legislative body to a mere deputation fromthe provinces and towns.
