The Pri?S3 in Prance.?A discussion on the execution of Louis XVI., which was gradually becoming envenomed, has been going on for some time past between the l'nien and Siecle. organs of the Le gitimist and Republican parties. The 21st of January is the anniversary ol that event. On that day a religious ser vice is performed in the expiatory chap J in the Kuc d'Aujou, and the Legitimist papers genally announce the fact with s panegyric on the character of the " mar tyr King." On the present occasion the eulogy ol the monarch was mingled with some severe reflections on his Judges: and the whole Convention, indeed th? whole Republican Government of the day, were spoken of in much the sami manner. The worst of political parties is, that they never will allow that any thing good can be done by their adver saries. The Union will not admit thai those who had any part in the revolu tion, even from 17^0, did any good, and it includes them all in the same sweep ;ng malediction. While the Siecle re turns the compliment in its judgemeni on the Legitimists. As the discussior went on it became more passionate, and the public were threatened with a mi nute inquiry on one hand into the act; of the regicides, and on the other inu those of the tribunals that condemned ?Ney and Labodoyerc. A stop, however lias been put to it. The editors of th Slide and Union have been "invited"' t< suspend the discussion, with the view o of preventing the feelings of either part; from being outraged and generally ex citing bad blood. Zy When is a man over head an ears in debt ? When his hat is not pai for, or when he neglects to pay the prin ur. who feeds him intellectually. Th latter is the most scandalous, because c its black ingratitude.
