POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

(From our London Correspondent.) And now there seems to bo every pros pect of a speedy restoration of the Monarchy in France. The Assembly is convened for the 27th instant, and as the Bonapartists ex hibit every appearance of acquiescence in the Monarchical movement there can hardly be a doubt as to the accession of Henri Cinq. The Count haa accepted tho tri-colour flag, and his Government are to frame a Constitu tion after that of 1814. Although all well wishers to France and the human race must hope for the best, and that the Monarchical movement may prove acceptable to Johnny Crapeau, yet it can scarcely be anticipated that such a flighty nation as the .French have proved themselves will quietly consent to be ruled by any ordinary person, and the Count has so far shown himself to be a vory ordi nary person indeed. His conduct on tho whole strikes one as being almost childish in the matter of his restoration. He has boggled, and- flirted, and skirmished about trifling questions in a way which exhibits a small mind; and if—as one is tempted to suspect—he is a worthy scion of the House of Bourbon, and believes that France was made for his pleasuro, and . that his mission is to uphold the Papacy in Italy there cannot be a question as to what the | end of his little career will be. It is well for politicians to say that no Government of France will be so insane as under present reduced circumstances to meditate for an instant an Italian war, but then did ever a Bourbon Government show any symptona of sanity, and is not the Pope reckless enough fer any stroke of policy which might seem to promise restoration of temporal power ? Of course it is impossible that priestcraft can ever again reign supreme. Indeed Europe exhibits every sign of the dissolution of all state religion's as such. Parsons tell us that infidelity is on the increase, and that there is anarchy in religion. This rendered into honest English means that people have discovered that they may use their common sense in religious as well as worldly ques tions, and that th«y are not bound to blindly pursue any creed which may happen to be flaunted in frent of them. What the Count's plan of action may be it is impossible to fore tell, but it would seem very likely that he will be awkwardly enough fixed between two stools. On the one hand if he does support the demands of his supporters (the priests, &c.) they will'not help him, and it is they who are his tower of strength, whilst, on the other hand, if he does not satisfy them the people won't put up with their nonsense, and Harry will have to bolt for it to save his hai^. The pretent movement of the civilised world is towards republicanism and freedom of thought and action. If there is one thing that the Count detests it is probably civil and religious liberty. Here is a protty kettle of fish, which will be boiling shortly. Poor France !
