FRENCH ELOQUENCE.
The Address of Regnaud de Saint Jean d'Angely to the French Conservative Senate is a fine specimen of impassioned national Eloquence. It conceals nothing—it softens no tint in the actual condition of the French People, but it calls upon them (by considerations which it is almost impossible to resist) to step forth, to breast the shock like men, to drive the foe from their frontier, and secure an honorable peace by an honorable war.—What! and shall it be said that the men of France will do what the men of America will not? Shall slaves risk their lives for their country, and shall Freemen shrink? Men, freemen of America arouse, and prove yourselves at least equal to the subjects of an Emperor.
