Of a handful of Chtiaans ‘ is l igranat, and yin ttiPant wall not probably iocnase the number of the partitalts of the Court." PAWS, JANUARY 14. 'a 'thee has 'existed for some date past in thi Court, and atpong the Ministers,a degree of inquie tude and alarm, which it is easy to perceive, but of which it is difficult to divine the true cause. 'lt is cer tain that the Russian and Prussian troops are making movements, which indicate on their put a disposition to return to Paris, or its eavirons. 16 With respect to the English troops it is certain that they are about to return to the capital, to the number of 15,000 men ; during the last three or four days, they have resumed their posts at the barrier on the North, and it was remarked that the cannons, which were still at Montmartre, had been turned upon, Paris. It is said even that a depot of Congreve roc kets has been established upon that height. 4 4 The following is the alleged causes of arrange. menu, so contrary both to the Treaty, and the hopes which it excited: 66 It has been remarked that the soldiers of the Royal Guard expressed, somewhat openly, sentiments unfavourable to the King's cause; they complain that they are cloathed like servants, and employed in the occupations of servants, and above all, they seem to take very ill, being commanded by young Officers who have never seen a campaign, nor have any other claim to promotion but their berth, to which they at. tach no importance ; in short, disgusted with the vexa tions which they undergo, the soldiers desert in crowds. During one night sixty were absent at the muster. " The King is alarmed ; he has appealed to his friend the Duke of Wellington, tivho has consented that the Etsglish troops should return to Paris. " The Russian Ambassador does not wish that the English alone should occupy Paris; the Prussians in terfere, and if they do not come to some understand ing we shall•-be overwhelmed with these Allies, who have already ruined us. 41 Some politicians attach to all these circumstances very extensive plans ; they behold in the movements of the English troops dispositions favourable to the Government; they imagine that Russia thinks seri. ously of the Prince of Orange; in short, they think it is decided upon to overthrow the Bourbons. Time alone can explain all. “ PARIS, JANUARY 15. 44 I mentioned to you, in my letter of yesterday. the return of the English troops to Paris^ The matter has been thus arranged : the King, who has been for some days uneasy, not only at the manner in which the promulgation of the Law of Amnesty was re ceived, but at the sort of discontent which prevails throughout the whole kingdom, demanded of the Duke of Wellington to let six thousand of his troops return to Paris. The Duke replied, that he could not permit so small a binnber to return, until the na tional guard should be disarmed, without which it would be risking their lives, in the midst of so nume rous a population. The King not relishing this ad. vice, the Duke proposed to send twenty-five thou sand men ; the King required twenty-four hours to return a definitive answer. On the following day he consented, and in consequence the movement imme diately commenced. Aix thousand men entered yes terday morning into this capital. ” Notwithstanding these troops have returned at the request of the King, some_persons imagine that their presence will not be advantageous to his cause.— They say, that the English Government has, for a long time, had it in contempletion to put another person on the throne, that it has even negociated with Russia upon this subject, who wished that it should be the Prince of Orange; that Prussia did not concur in this plan, but it was obliged to enter into the views of Russia, because of the internal commotions with which she is menaced. Davuust has received an order to quit Paris in 24 hours; and Serrurier has been put upon halt-pay. One hundred and seventy General Officers have been cashiered : the Minister at War, in announcing this decision to them, stated that it had been determined upon because they had checiedilse spring of legitimacy. "extraordinary courier arrived here yesterday, bringing intelligence to the Duke de Richelieu of an insurrection at Berlin, in which several persons cached to the Court had been sacrificed. All the Journals have.been forbidden to speak of this news, as well as of the movements of the Russian and . Prussian troops upon Paris." THE EVENING STAR. " LO N DON. MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1816.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday ar rived yesterday. The extracts which we have given respecting the French Protestants pore, what was never doubted, that there was no persecution any where but in the neighbourhood of Nismes. They prove more—that the general odium—the expression of public opinion excited throughout Europe, by the enormities perpetrated at Nismes, have produced a beneficial effect. The anxiety manifested to give the crimes another complexion, augurs well for the peace of the world c it is, in fact, an avowal that perse- ' cation is not justifiablei—a pledge that, however indiscreet and intemperate some individuals may be, neither the KING nor the Government will give coun tenance to such a flagrant violation of the Constitu tion. We fully acquit the KING of the smallest pre 'ions knowledge of the enormities that have been perpetrated, and We give him full credit for the pro- tection promised to eff his subjects ; brit we will not easily be led to believe, that no inquiry ought to be made—that those who were murdered are still alive that the murderers ought not to be brought to justice, whether they killed their victims asSoaaitartistr or as liugonetn- • The affair of LAVALIMX still forms a topic of general conversation in Paris f but it is from private , , • *this cidy that'ile'diga ill& die dirt ctiit:to it has given*rite.

The.extracts which irellive inserted'in our columns are curious and interesting; and furnish some kind, of evidence that all is not quiet below the snrfaee.! Indeed some of the letters go so far as to hint that a conspiracy of it revolutionary nature has just bein detected; and to this discovery is attributed thels. suing of the order mentioned is the Paris loapers t for patroling the streets, and a request made by the KING to the Duke of WaLusorota (mentioned in private letters) that the British troops may still conti nue to occupy the capital. The following is an ex tract of one of the letters to which we allude : di I can inform you of a circumstance which :ap pose you cannot yet have heard of, the authenti city of which you may perfectly rely upon, as it came direct from the Duke of Wzt.r.tNcrrow. It relates to the detection of a conspiracy of coluideralle extent, and the troops are now certain to remain here some time longer. Yesterday twenty-seven persons were taken into custody, but the Papers are quite silent upon the subject, and the examinations are priiate.— Thursday last was to have been the day for the com mencement; and amongst the papers which have, been seized were the names and 'addresses of the, principal British Officers, as 'they were to have suffered first. Double Gtritrds are posted at the Thuilleries, as well as at all the other places; and since Thursday there has been extra guards of 200 men to patrole the streets. The utmost vizilancs is sued to heels Mini: pia." A Mail from Holland arrived this morning. The only article worth notice in the Belgian Papers is a Decree of the King of PRUSSIA suppressing all secret societies, with a few exceptions in favour of some Mason Lodges which are specially enumerated, but cautioned against indulging in political assemblies. ••• . • spa W b ia ib ta y M O O.

AMERICAN PAPERS. This morning reached us New York Papers to the last day of the year. The substance of their contents is as loam's : It is stated under date of Washington, 27th ult. that no business was done in the Senate the day be fore, except the reference of two or three petitions. The Senate Chamber is undergoing an alteration and enlargement, which rendered it necessary for the Senate to adjourn until the Friday following. The Treaty with the Dey t,f Algers has, it 'is generally understood, been ratified by the Senate, and was ex pected to be published in a day or two. The business in the House of Representative's on the 26th was unimportant. A reference was made to between 20 and 30 Petitions of minor importance. Mr. MADISON, in a Message, laid before the House Copies of a Proclamation, noticing the Convention between the United States and Great Britain, which had been duly ratified. The Message and Treaty were referred to a Comthittee for Foreign Affairs. NEW ORLEANS, NOVEMBER it The schooner President, from Boquilla de Padras, is arrived with Don Jose Manuel Herrera and write. This gentleman is, we ate informed, appointed Mi nister Plenipotentiary from the Mexican Republic to the United States. But from the other remarks in this article, it should appear that he will not be re ceived in that capacity ; as it concludes with the re. mark, that free republics ought to look out in time for allies among legitimate sovereignties.—The news brought by this gentleman is said to be of a favour able nature, but no particulars are mentioned more than is already known. milmnimod'idtme Admiral Lord Exstotrrst landed at Civita Vecchia in the latter end of December,andproceeded to Rome, on a visit to ins friend, Lord WILLIAM BENtINCE.
