PRIVATE urrilts. is Parts, May IL a Tile journey of M: de Stackelberg, the Russian+ Minister. at the Court of Vienna, an active and elb' perieneed diplomatist, who has had.a share in all the negotiations which have alternately embroiled..and pacified Europe of late years, and who enjoys the en- . tits Confidence of his Imperial Master, induces a be. that matters of the highest importance are on the tapis. The expected arrival at Paris of M. de Telly. nephew of the Field-Marshal Barclay diTolly, client*/ with a mission and dispatches from the Russian Court, tends to strengthen that belief ; vihile the or.' ders issued at the war-office (as appears by the Papers) to make an auonentation of 50 regiments to the French Artily, indicates a hostile disposition in the French Court—without its being possible, howeveti e to determine the part that France w i l l take in these newsupposed alliances. According to some, she is to act as the auxiliary ofEngland against Russia; to others, she is to he the auxiliary of Russia ai!ainit England. The only fair conclusion we are warranted in hawing from the very few facts we are in posses. sion of, is, that there exits division het seen the twos leading Powers, Russia and England, and that the fate of France is the object .4 that division. " These facts are, the late and present military eautements —she :ic give segosiations on foot —thatins. lames and sudden increase of t h e French Army—.the late vote of credit, the purposeut which is wrapped up in mystery—to which may he added, the sudden and spirited resolution taken uy Lows in proroguing his Legislature. This decisive step his Majesty took without con• salting the Princes of his family, wno became ac quainted with it as the public slid, by the official an nunciation of its being carried into effect. As it may be supposed, this event spread consternation among the Angol letne party, and has thrown the Palace into combustion. That high-court party, heedless of the storm gathering around them on all sides, would have proceeded headlong in their ruinous system of policy, while the King, more irudent, has unfolded the neglected charter, or constitutional umbrella, as M. Pine° has more h..ppily termed it, deterring the com 'pletion of his counter-revolutionary work to a more propitious period. It is impossible not to see, that this measure has been dictated by a sense of danger arising from the rnettac . ng spirit of his subjects, and precari ous support ut his divided Allies."

The disaffected wish to associate men Ike this warrior and Druuet in their mad enterprise. This latter quitted Paris the other day for Nancy, in the Diligence ; all the places being taken, he was obliged to cuter in that part of the carriage called the cabriolet but his name was no sooner mentioned by the cii luctor, than the whole six inside passengers alighted, and insisted on his placing himself in the most commodious seat. " I hal* already informed you that scver conipt :Hpei had been arrested in ininsequence of some against the Government, which bad been discovered b r the vigilant and active Police of the Royalists. These arrestations have multiplied very considerably within the last ferty-eight hours; and among those , arrested are Co be numbered one or two Generals of distinction. 'with several Officers of an iniviior rank. It is rumoured that the intention of the conspirators was to remove all the Royal Family, and afterwards to send a courier to Vienna with propositions to the Emperor of Austria to place Napoleon 4. on the throne of France; and in case his Austrian Majesty did not accede to these propositions, to matins the Republic of 1798. Among the papers seised have been found proclamations equalling in horror any thing ever issued from the press in that bloody epoch." ANOTHER LE rTER-m4AME DATE. " Numberless arrests daily and nightly take place ; they include many persoos of distinction, less, how. ever, among the old Imperial than the Patriotic party. " Rumours have prevailed for these last two days, of a conspiracy against GOVeTTIMMIt having been de. tecred at the very moment of encodes, and in which the individual above alluded to are said to blikthe principal actors. 'the fact is, there existra general - and tacit conspiracy in the public mind, and Govern ment cannot but be couscious of its existence. *But, this would dot appear the fittest moment far its exe cetion r its remit would be incomplete. • " Rallying signals have been distributed, such as cards of a triangular form, bearing on them the words Was.

In their per plexity, they have brought forth their lists of pus. petted characters, and have converted them into lists of proscription.- But, were these list. still more weeping and more numerous than they are, were Government still more active and vigilant in its pro ceedings, they could not prevent the general an*. racy of popular feeling from breaking out, and that under the most skilful direction, at the bearable moment. - • All the aVintes leading to the Tailleris•ase 0n,.._, guarded at night; numerous and serong . patreles of' horse and foot parade dw streets of Pastssipemons met therein after the has of eleven, are liable to be marched to the Prefecture of Polices fund erilence, upon giving a satisfactory account of tbeeseelves o l they are liberated the Mg morning. .

Mr. BROUGHAM brought forward a Bill last night for the better securing the 'Liberty of the Press. by allowing, in trials for alleged libels, the truth to he given in evidence. It is difficult to conceive that any thing like a plausible argument can be urged against a proposition founded in the true spirit of Mr. Fok's Act, declaring that by the law of the land Juries in all cases or libel were Judge: both of the law and the fact. On what rational ground then can it be main tained that any. of the facts connected with the case 40 be decided, should be withheld from the Jury ?It is impossible that the Liberty of the Press, to which this country is indebted for the preservation of all the other invhluable privileges which has made us the envy of the world, can be over-rated; nor can it be fettered without a danger of reducing us to that im-' becile state which • elted down the Ppwers of the Continent before the scorching Sun of revolutionary mania. The Press alone can preserve you from sub version when turbulent men threaten the peace of society with anarchical principles; not by its ephemera! productions at the moment of danger, but by the effect of previous culture of the public mind, by which and by which only it can be maintained in that healthy state which will ever put it beyond the react of empyricism. Look at the most dangerous period of the French Revolution, and say what warded the danger from your shores ?' It was the Free Press of Britain that armed ram whole population from one end of the Island to the other, during Lord SIDMOUTreS Admi. nistration. Was there any diversity of sentiment— any opposition to the patriotic sentiment which armed every father and brother fur the protection and defence of our own fire-sides I No. The Press of England, while it is preserved free, will ever be found virtuous. But only once fetter and restrain it, by exposing its conductors to unnecessary fears of personal inconve nience, and you that moment give the direction of the engine to those fearless individe Ils and mad zealots who will make their calculations as to the possibility of escaping detection, and who may be willing even to wear the decoration of the wooden collar, for the sake of the fame which they may consider as attached to it. Nor h this your only danger, if you do not protect the Liberty of the Prfss- 7 men without property, who have nothing to We, bat some chance to gain, by commotions, will, in the nature of things, obtain a predoMinance in the conduct of the periodical Press; and in the same proportion will the friends of quiet and good order lose the countenance, the support, the efficacy of this powerful engine, in informing, gua(chng, and directing the popular mind, as at the period to which we have alluded, when all were in duced to join the Volunteer Corps. Mr. AHOIJOHASeS Bill also comprehends some im portant regulations' respecting ex tfficio informations, and the forming of Special Juries. Sir SAMORL Itossu.t.v gave notice- of a motion for Tuesday nest, regarding the Protestants in France. We* have received the Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday. Their contents do not enable us to augur any thing of the internal or political state of France; but the private letters continue to be filled with ru :noun of approaching political convulsions. It is stated that General CA/AMON es triumphaiit acquittal i has infused spirits into the disaffected, or Antr-Bour bonists, who have split into two factions—one pro posing the transfer of the Crown to the Duke of OR. LEANS, and the other boldly declaring for the RC ' public, one and indivisible. We know not precisely what foundation there is for these rumours, nor do we suppose that the spirit of disaffection has assumed any thing like an organized form : we know, how. ever, far . certain, that arrests daily mutiply, not only is Patilsi•bist is various parts of France. emmimms.
