PRIYdTL CYMRESPOSDENCE. & (ExToAct or A LF.TTER MOM PAlttS.l " A complete Revolution has taken place in this country since l last described it to you. To me it appears even more estraordinary, under all the cis. camstetrees of the present hour, than the former transition from veneration for the Giant' Moriarque to the fury of republicanism, or from that to unqua lified admiration of en Imperial Ruler. The change tow ch I allude pervades all ranks and descriptions of • foreigners as well as Frenchmen. The old ing-ieems absolutely to have changed his na. tare. from being open, placid, and good humour. • ed, he is become closiN peevish, arid restless. His klitsisters all seem paralysed or confused, which is . 44e—wore extraordinary because till very lately there appeared a superabundance of activity and bustle. As to the mass of the people, it is easy to I see that disgust is the prominent feeling. In vain they look at their ost - n Newspapers for consolation, I for they say nothing but what is agreeable to ter.: tain persons of the Court, who are themselves un. der the cont.:en! of • foreign Junta. They read with avidity every English Journal they can lay hold of, t hut those which are here most industriously circa. laced, are so full of falsehoods, and even falsehiseds of doe most ridiculous kind, that they rather tend to keep up their humours than to shay them.— If ever ftonaparte is mentioned, which is not very frequent among strangers, you are sure to Ira told, with great emphasis, that he would not have sat Icing 4 upon a degraded throne' The obvious con. ',traction of this remark, which they intend to' convey, is, that they are highly indignant at Itieri— present degradation, which they attribute solely to the pusillanimity of the Bourbons. There has been a report very prevalent, that Luis nould resign.— I confess such an event would not surprise me, and 'believe it to have ari , ett me!rly from some of the younger branches of the family havlirg been seta for to Paris somewhat hastily. But what I have already described to you, does not corninize the whole, nor even the most impo: tact portion of that revolution in - sentiment which I have said has l a tely taken place. For a very long period I was rejoiced to see my countrymen, if not actually to a certain degree popular, at least not odious, among the Parisians; but some recent discoveries, or supposed discoveries, have tended to dissipate all my dreams of English popularity :_you hare already been in formed what havoc's the soldiers of one of the Allied Powers have been making among the mouuments of arts which the late Emperor had collected as into a focus in this city. Indeed, their conduct has been unnecessarily cruel, for, like Goths and Vandals, they have destroyed as well as pilfered, arid under pretence of restoring the plunder of for- i ever pillage, have actually seized and sent away a i great many things which owed their origin to France . cud-French artists. Among these the ParisianS fancy there are not a few which are making their way to England. They accuse us, therefore, of covertly sincournging the plundering system of oar Allies, that• we may ultimately receive part of the spoil. Whether this accusation be well founded, or merely French jealousy, I have not beets able to ascertain ; but certaiish: the report is so general, arid such harsh things are said of a certain great Commander on the occasion, as harrow up the soul of an Englishman to hear. They say, and say wish gloat appearance of reason; that we It tee g-ot su ffi cient of their curiosities • tir -trity-4. as.ophy, , in shurcb wi tido s and paintings, during the first pa roay 4ms of their revolution, without trampling upon them in their state of submission, and • seizing by Force their few roma' • g specimens of pets and sciences. I will not disgrace my paper by !reporting to you an hundredth part o f w h a t is cur . rent on ctrl, subject among the Pa:isiatts ; but if your custom-hens( he not fiery remi s s, o r under some . *wo w , i n tl,,rnre of delusion, the-re are, at the moment' Ifiatwritimt this, some passengers migrating front this -roiristry of my present adoption, to that or my affections, which must proclaim a mystery of Ito coin. mon kind. AS fast as we are falling in popularity here. the Emperor Alesairder is rising. I think the charnrter of this man has been much n ristak en , b ut i t is CFIIBIII that he is at present in great dudgeon; MI ghat account there are different opinions, hut she moat prevailing one is that he is not allowed a sufficient share of she ;dewier.

Iler Kmperor wishes, no &nom, for present Peace, our almost any terms that will secure it ; and for this porpoise is disposed sirs.: cerely to shake hands with Louis. iii. revenues; are esthrosstrel ; a part of his dominions is held ie allegiance by a very slender thread ; and be has reason enough for j.rdous epprehensions respecting . amore than one of his opir,hbours.

They mention, however, the arrest of several per , sons concerned in it ; and from some accounts thlt we have, there is reason to believe, that Louts does not feel at all secure in the Thuilleries, riot oithstand ing all the. precautions that are adopted. The pri vate letters and accounts which we have through other channels from Paris and other parts ,b 1 France, tend to excite apprehensions of a very painful nature, as to the consequences of the protracted stay of the Allied force in France. Alluding to the assassinations, tumults, and outrages, which are occurring almost every wherein open day, and cannot be prevented by the best precautiow, " If," say they, " such are the scenes which humanity isdaily doomed to witness and endure at this season, what may we expect when the tong dark nights of winter commence, and nature herself shall afford opportunity and impunity to crime?" The accounts which we have of the de creasing popularity of the British name in France, where it till very lately, even in the midst of war, • wee held in the utmost respect, greatly increase our anxiety for the safety of our countrymen. The French now look upon the Euglish as the chief cause of their sufferings—as the instigators of the • war, w hich has covered them with so mcch dis -Igraces end as the abettors and supporters .erf the I many humiliations awl cruelties which they are now enduring in their subsnissh•n, from the rapacity and insolence of others, whose shameful and oppressive conduct it would have better become those who have Wrier) and pill! the war, to check. The comniu nication from Paris, which we give in our Private Zoreespondeure in the second page, contains some inferestiag informatinn on this head, which ought not In be withheld from the public,. however little agreeable it may be to our national vanity. We are sorry-so have too many assurances of the truth of such statements. The French army is re-organising with great ala crity. The Journals state, that its re-organization operates as soon as it disbands. The Allies seem to regard these military measures on the part of the French Government with great jealousy. The formation of a legion for each of the 86 departments, and the appointment by the King of Commanders and legions for the conquered departments, is still more disagreeable to some of them. We have some curious articles relating to this topic, the peace, the frontier towns, and the conduct of She Prussians in the war which they are carrying on, anti even toward she Belgians, in the papers •which we have this f•renoon received by a Fiemish Mail, and which Lai subjoin to the French extracts. An arrival MU : MO of Brussels papers had informed us Sitit the Austrians and Pruisians are about to com mence fresh sieges, the former being about to invest Sclielestadt and New Brisac, and the latter La Fere, the Governor of which refused to obey their sum mons to surrender, and that the fortress of Giver, which the Paris papers represent as merely besieged, had surrendered to the Prussians: also that au im portant fort, on the right bank of the Meuse, corn. mending Charlemont, had likewise been taken. But the statements in the Flanders articles received to-day, are still more interesting. They inform us that the frontier between Belgium and the Prussian provinces is not yet settled, and that this occasions daily dis puts.s in the frontier towns. The disputes on this subject we may suppose are not confined to these places. 'these disputes, however, show in what light the approaches of the Prussians in that quarter are viewed. The impudence of a Prussian tax-gatherer a Ito went, with the help of gene d'arrnes, to takeaway the public money in a frontier place, the possession of which was lint fixed, occasioned a formal battle with the inhabitants, which we are glad to hear terminat ed in the complete defeat of the Prussians. The new Treaty of Peace will not be so easily arranged as the Dutch and French writers seem to imagine. It will so materially interfere with and alter the Acts of the Congress of Vienna that they cannot be officially published. Thanks to the free Press of Boys:lissom however, we know what they are ; and it will be well fur millinits if they are never accomplished.— i The French nation will now look a little closer to this. No day is yet mentioned for the trial of Neir. The report that . MuttAT had been arrested in Cor sici is contradicted. The fallowing are from the Paris Papers of Friday 18 , 4 : PARVI, SEPT. ll.—The Russian army aciembled on the 11s:us 1,1 Vertus mounted to 110,000 men of all arms; 36,000 were cavalry, ■nd there were 400 bunches an feu. They made an excellent appear *nee, and were overjoyed on seeing again the Empe ror Alexander. After the review he gave a grand dinner in the open air to his august Allies, the prin cipal Generals of his army, and those Generals who accompanied their Sovereigns. Slany salutes of can non took place during the repast. There could scarcely be a more interesting scene, and the curious were numerous to witness it. The soldiers had a double ration : but the discipline of the Russian army k so perfect that not the slightest disorder took place. On Tuesday three individuals of the Prince Re gent's household, and amung,t others a steward, arrived at Paris. The re.arginizstion of the French army operates nearly as peon as it disbands. LONDON: wow) vt, strremsta 18, 1815. The Park Papers to the idth inst. are received. There is a curious article in the Gazette de France i which we shall begin our notices with, not from any credit or importance we attach to the report contain ed in it, but from the remirkahle nature of the circum stance men ti c ,..eil, and the singularity of the Govern mete Censors allowing such a report to obtain pub licity. " News from Bourg," says that Paper, " states, ti:at a person railing himself N.teozerrx Bo- N4P4Rpr made Lis appearance on the 2Gth August in •tome communes of the department de PAin.

The Russian troci►s assembled in the plains of Venus did not amount to ran:810ln 110,000 men of all arms. 'Dili is MS immense body of men to he assembled %ft one place, but former statements had reproetsted the Russian force as far more numerous. It is not said that the Russians have yet bttglin their retrograde march, but a greet number of the Allied troops are moving. Sane a,:counts say the Russians will not Wire beyond Chat° tis-sur-lla rue, where the Emperor •ALEXANDER is to establish his head-quarters. The Prussians are also on the move. Paris is e►idently too hot for them. They are breaking up their barracks in the Luxembourg, and selling the timber which com posed them. The department of the Manche was to furnish the Allies with 400 horses, to assist them no doubt in the the transport of their baggage, by the 15th• of this month, when, it is insinuated, they would commence their movements. The meeting of the Chambers takes place on the 25th inst. as originally intended, but out account of the time necessary for the verification of powers, the sitting•, or di•rus•ions on public business, will not commence till the 1•t of October. The first object of the Legis!ature will, of course, be the getting the Allied Armies out of the country, if Lours's foreign friends shall not have retired by the time mentioned for the asle ending of the deliberative Bodies. his whispered that the Allies hare become vevy uneasy from w hat lows transpired of the sentiments said dispo sitions of the new Chambers. It is even said, that the alarm which they have felt on this score is a material cause of their return to Paris. Die Deputies, many of whom are now in the capital, are the prineip►l suf ferers by the presence of the foreign troops in the country, being chiefly the possessors of landed pro perty ; said are, it is said, giving pretty free ex pression to the indignation which they feel on this subject. In this they are joined by the voice of the People at large, whose wishes and intentions are now less dissembled than ever. We cannot teJpect the Public Journal,, controuled as they yet are, to enter on any very free discw.sibn or extended details of the situation of public affairs and pub lic sentiment, but the ►tale of the capital may be partially seen from a I:at is said as to the results of the tumult in the Gardens of the Patois Roy el.
