Extract of a letter from Par:s, dated August (I.—" Paris is at this moment in a state of uncertainty and anxiety, which it is difficult to describe. liens' fears have increased with out any distinct object, or probably any real danger. Every body talks Of an impending crisis without knowing, or even professing to know its nature, or the quarteh, from which it is to proceed. The hi idges arc strongly guarded every night, and this measure, intended, 'perhaps, merely to prevent the least sympton of disorder efactually by a strong force, is construed into an apprehension of some insurrectionary . movement. The circutnstance, which appears most strange to me is, that seditious cries should he heard every night in the garden of the Thuilleries under the King's windows, and even sometimes in his heating. Not a night has recently passed, on which there were not several persons taken into custody by the . National (uard, for crying l'Empercur Ihe cry of Vive lc Roi, by the great tuns of the people who Ott, . . SThR. 619 _ . assemble under the window, is now invariably made the sigUal for seditious cries, upon which all becomes insmat tumult and confusion. It is difficult to account for a piartict. so daringly and systematically persisted in, and attended wills such imminent danger to the individuals ()trending. 'rite place is so crowded with national guards, under arms, a"d gees d'arms, that they cannot possibly escape being taken into custody, and when seemed (in geneial not sooner) they are assailed on all sides, even kicked and spit upon ; and it is with difficulty they are protected by the national guard who have them in custody, and who do their duty in a. man ner deserving the highest commendation. The passions of different parties are so inflamed against each other as to be restrained only by the presence of Allies. The people are divided and subdivided. The least numerous party,. however is, that of the Buonapartists. But from the general odimir recently attached to his conduct, and the sutrei ings he brought upon France, each' party would represent time other as his . partisans. I have 'heard children in the streets, crying, "Les Buonaparlish's a• la lanlernr," witGst, I sup pose, knowing what the words meant. That the individuals, who cry, Vire l'Empereur ! should devote themselves to the punishment of the law, so uniformly and systemati , ally, is extremely strange. The most probable mode of ex it, - that I have heald is; that it is resorted to by the violent partizans of the Revolution, as the best means of preserving and increasing the elements of insurrection, and that the cry of Vice l'Empereur! is chosen, not item .any attacht»ent to Buonaparte, or any wish for his. return, but because that cry is the most distinctly hostile to Government. It is cer tain that they do not th.s.!: matters as yet ended. The state of the public press leaves the people in utter 4enkitess as to public events. The lower classes iu general iisbelirve the fact. of iluimaparte's being a.prisoner ; they r sli bit that mixture of credulity and incredulity which is produced by ignorance, and so liable to become dangt colts. Much interest is attached to the proceedings of the Duke of Argon , leme in the South. It is said, that some offence has been taken in consequence of the adoption of a white and green cockade by the troops. he is raising. The s :when) provinces are said to be in the most distracted state. Private letters, received in Paris, describe the people in several places-as being in a state of open war against each other. Even religious persecution is among the miseries under which they suffer. The list of houses destroyed, and of individu'als who have been proscribed or killed, by popular fury, is enormous. In many places, the inhabitants have tetired from their habitations, into woods and mountains, with what property they were able to remove.
