From ffe -N y Courier < Enquirer. ANOTHER LESSON FOR KINGS.


 The late Revolution in France, fur nishes another lesson to the Kings who disregard their obligations, and apply the obsolete maxims of antiquated des- potism, 10 the men and the minds of the present age. It furnishes another, ard an awful warning to kinesz who hlind- ed by pride, by ignorance and bigotry, attempt to reign without the confidence, and affection of their people. t ex- hibits i'll all its nakedness the innate, in- enrable weakness of a despetism, which instead of identifying itself, it's inter- ests and it's glory with those of the na- ton, in the fullness of its presnmptuous gnorance, affects a separate being, and converts the relation of sovereign and a subject into that of a.master and his slave.

 King Charles the Tenth has again verified the saying of Napoleon, ssthat the Bourbons remembered every thing they ought to have forgotten, and forgot every thing they ought to have remem- bered." The lessons given to bis pre- decessors-the death of I.ouis-the ru. in of his family-and the exile of his successor, all seem to have passed from his memory, together with the lessons of moderation and wisdom he ought to have derived from them. He remem- bers, nothing, but tkat the Kings of France were once despots, and their people obedient slaves; and he forgets that now they are not, and cannot be so any longer.

 Under the abject dominion of priests himself, he affects to tyranizc over his people. He shuts his eyes to the bloody beaeons of the past-to the awful indi- cations of the present-to the black coverings of the future. He sees mo- thing but the shadow of his departed power, and he seeks to grasp it as a re- ality. In short, we'are equally at loss to account for the delusions underwhich he labours, whether they proceed from his own wilful blindness or the imposi- tions of others. He seems to have ac- ted under belief that the recollection of thirty years of hard struggle for lib- erty, had been obliterated by few years of blind folly and impotent mis. rule.

 The two greatmeasures by which he preeipitated that catastrophe, to which sooner or later his fate had predestined him, were of so gross character of dcs- potism, as to sayor of insanity. By de elaring the election Of a whole Chamber of Deputies void, he at once marred ey- y feature ofthe the Representative Go vernment, and took away, virtually, the right of suffrage from the people of France. In every Representative Go yernment, it is competent to the Exec utive power, either to dissolve or pro- rogue the Legislative Body. But to annihilate it before it has convened and before it has had an opportunity of act ing, either in aid or in opposition to the will of the.Executive power, is a stretch of absurd authority, to which we find no parallel. Even the Petty Colania! l'yrants of these States, wyhs.e:, exxescc::s,I ing the power ef the King of England, contented themselves with prorog,sing or dissolving the Colonial Legislatures, when their measures were obnoxious, and their opposition certain and uncon-
