been so unfortunately involved, but which she must work out. Time and events will teach the French people whether a republic suits their tastes, their temper, or their interests. If it should, we wish they may find a Washington; but we rather expect a Cromwell. If it should not, they have our example to guide them, and M. Guizot, in his account of England in 1660, plainly indicates the analogy of the cases and the identity of the remedy:

"Some solution of the existing state of things was absolutely necessary. All the men of mark or influence who had brought about the revolution, or whom the revolution had raised into notice, had been repeatedly put to the proof. Though their attempts to govern the country had not been thwarted or obstructed by any external obstacle or national resistance, none of them had succeeded. They had destroyed each other. They had all exhausted in these fruitless conflicts whatever reputation or whatever strength they might otherwise have preserved. Their nullity was completely laid bare. Nevertheless, England was still at their mercy. The nation had lost, in these long and melancholy alternations of anarchy and despotism, the habit of ruling, and the courage to rule, its own destinies.

'During this interregnum of twenty months, and in the midst of this ridiculous outbreak of chimerical pretensions, the only competitor who did not appear was HE upon whom the thoughts, hopes, and fears of all England were fixed-the only one whose claims were serious.

The long reverses of the royalist party had taught them good sense. They had learned not to take their wishes for the measure of their powers; and to understand that, if Charles Stewart was to regain the crown, it could only be by the general will and act of England, not by an insurrection of cavaliers.'-Guizot, pp. 74, 75.
