THE LITERARY PANORAMA, AND National Register: For APRIL, 1816. The arrangements made at, and near Paris, in 1814, by the Allies, then victors in the heart of France, were not completely satisfactory to any reflecting mind. Inasmuch as they were connected with Peace, they were welcomed by every heart in which glowed a spark of humanity. But, as they left too much to the honour of a man who never knew what honour was, too much to the compassion of a soi-disant hero, who beheld unmoved that " consumption" of human life, at which the most hardened of his Generals wept, and the whole of them shuddered, a kind of suspicion could not but lurk in the apprehensions of those who had acquired by experience, a passable acquaintance with revolutionary movements. The man who with greater joy than Cæsar, saw whole armies fallen on the ensanguined plain, who [rura Stetit aggere campi Lucan. Phar. lib. vii.

B in their very hearts, which they execrated with their voices, which they would violate without compunction, as they endure it with anguish and gnashing of teeth. It is PEACE: the very name is abhorrent to these fiends of war. It was a wise foresight, by the exercise of which so many troops were placed in Belgium, and so much force was held on foot, in a certain degree of readiness. The wisdom of instantly combining all Europe to crush the rising monster, that threatened to devour it, has already engaged our attention. But, these very considerations encreased the difficulties of arranging that pacification which should be satisfactory to His Most Christian Majesty on the one part, and to irritated Europe on the other. The mere contemplation, though in idea only, of a million and a half of men, called to arms, rushing from all quarters, with a promptitude animated by their feelings and conviction, is distinguished by a vastness which astonishes and perplexes the mind. What then must have been the perplexity of those councils which felt that their country was the object of this vast force?-and what, the conflicting interests of those who knew that this vast force waited but their nod to realize those expectations which had impelled them from their native forests and rivers, their crags, their steppes, their mountains, and their deserts. she were not free, is forced acquiescence valid? Such an argument could not escape her casuists. Again, these armies demanded a compensation for the expenses to which France had unnecessarily put them: nothing could be more reasonable:-but, how to obtain it? nothing could be more difficult. It will be recollected that we have ar gued the question on the principle of Amidst this diversty of counteracting powers, those entrusted with the negociation of the present treaty had much to do; much to restrain; much to correct; much to arrange, for the present; much to foresee, for the future. Our readers know, already, that a main part of this agreement stations a body of a hundred and fifty thousand troops of the Allies in the line of fortresses on the northern boundary of France; to be maintained at the expense of France, during five years:-in the mean while France is to pay, gradually, about thirty millions sterling, as compensation for the expences to which she has put Europe. A partial compenpensation, as is well known; and not the smallest for the lives which have been been sacrificed to her unprincipled France, or, at least, such a portion of her people as assumed the name of France had beguiled the too credulous Allies, who placed confidence in her honour was the possibility of a repetition of this guile to be left open? Certainly not. Yet, in the mean while, none imputed to the King of France, with whom the treaty was to be made, the smallest participation in this guile. Why punish him for faults to which he was no party, and by which he was For, it was her unprincipled ambieminently the sufferer? There was no de- tion that brought these troops to her sign of punishing him. But,-then-frontiers: they were all safe at home, how refrain from punishing France, and why did she call them back? They bringing upon her that retribution which were rehearsing former adventures, why sooner or later attends every deviation did she rouse them to the renewal of from rectitude? France was surrounded feats of arms? Who threw out the sigby armies, could she be free? and if nal at which they resumed the sword? It ambition. |
