Il est dur que toujours un destin nous entraîne Aux civiques combats qu'on croyait achevés; De voir aux passions s'ouvrir encore l'arène, Et s'enfuir la concorde et le bonheur rêvés. Rien qu'à ce seul penser, tout ce qu'en moi j'apaise! Est prêt à s'irriter; la haine me reprend; Et, pour qui vent guérir toute haine est mauvaise, Et, pourtant, je ne puis rester indifférent. Oh! meurent les soupçons! oh! Dieu nous garde encore De ces duels armés entre un peuple et son roi! Sous le soleil d'août, dont la chaleur dévore, Le sang bouillonne vite, et nul n'est sûr de soi." True, as we have stated, the action of the Government really helped the public cause. Trial after trial was brought against the press unceasingly, but liberty always comes out triumphant from these encounters, no matter what happens, and, by succeeding, kills those who try to suppress it. Monarchies are not overturned, they undermine themselves and begin to totter; then, some day, the people seeing them shake, shout with a loud voice and down they fall. The case of the _Spectateur religieux_ was taken from court to court, and finally brought before the Court of Orléans. M. de Senancourt, who had been sentenced by the _police correctionelle_ to nine months' imprisonment and five hundred francs fine for his résumé of _Traditions morales et religieuses_, was acquitted on appeal.

The author laid bare before the prince the situation of France and added:-- "But you will perhaps say to me, 'What can I do? As a peer of the realm, France knows that I submit to an ostracism which forbids me to take any part in public affairs.' That, monseigneur, is just the point at issue. Because you are suspended from your privileges, are you therefore suspended from common law? Is the country circumscribed in the Higher Chamber? Does parliamentary inertia condemn everybody to political lethargy? And, because people do not happen to belong to the aristocracy, are they therefore of no account? 'Dangerous questions,' some will exclaim. 'Unsuitable and at any rate irrelevant,' others will say. Such questions, I would reply, are both natural and useful under a constitutional form of government." After that paragraph came the following:-- "Instead of going to Gand, he went to England, thus saving himself from association with the system that marked the epoch of 1815 and from following in the wake of 1815." Then, passing on from politics to advice, he added:--
