Bis contemporaries . But , if much of ancient folly is returning back to this volatile nation , there seeriis to reign in its Cabinet a good spirit , which may
lead eventually to much improvement . The jealousies respecting the emigrant property are composed ; the sovereign does not seem desirous to increase his
authority ; his ministers address the legislature in a tone very different from that of the ancient monarchy ; and many of its members speak with a spirit of energy , which
