PRI VATE CORRESPORDEStg. " PARIS, APRlL . 7.—Cermanicus is now forgotten, 'or nearly so; and, as yesterday M. 3Joucey and M. Jacqueminot were seen at liberty, I.take it for granted the other half-pay officers are so like wise ; excepting M. de Croquembourg, and M. de Briqueville, who are stated in the Newspapers to have been given up to the-regular course of _ :justice, for offences of greater magnitude. At present the public mind is occupied with the quarrels about the Gardes-dtt.Corps of the King. This body of men, after having been recompensed 'slider the Ministry of FoUthe for its fidelity during the hundred days, by being reduced to • about eight hundred men, divided into four 'companies, is still a great eye-sort to the Liberal party, who think, or pretend to think, that it is 'highly improper for a Soverekii to have a guard separate from the army. .se „ v,er,il *times different ~, individuals of the Liberal Party,,•ht whom the King has great confidence, have hinted, and more than hinted, to his Majesty, that this corps ought to be disbanded : these suggestions not having produced the desired effect, other steps have been taken, ansi means have been employed to disgust the Gardes-du-Corps, in hopes of in . king them resign, ln,the present moment, in the company of the Duke of Havt4, a measure has been taken, the definitive effects of which cannot yet be, cal.• tulatetl. A certain number of the non-commis• hitnied officers of the company, if you can so call men who have the commission and rank of Cap. tains kl•the line, at the end t Of their quarter's service, which finished witiviheluouth of March, mere informed that they were; o pass into the line in the legions of infantry. As it is never customary to make an officer of cavalry pass into :the infantry, except at his own desire, this alone would have been displeasing enough ; but when the company learnt, that among those chosen to replace them were men who hail served under the Usurper during the hundred days, the indignation was general, and out of about two hundred men, tine hundred and eighty signed a resignation en One gentleman considered this measure as improper, but went to give iniiis.ownresignation individually to the Duke Difavre, saying, that he Was going to retire into th' . otitintry ; thaf if 'un fortunately it should ever again be necessary to fight to defend his master, 'he should leave his re treat ; but that be could not knelt his place con sistently with his ideas of honour. These resigna tions are not yet accepted ; and a great deal of tiegociation is going on with these gentlemen, who are quartered at present at Versailles. The Company of Noailles, commenced its servite when the Cotiqrany of HaVr6 quitted, fi equally di4eonteuted ; every thing possible has been done to make them so. When a Garde“ln- Corps is sent to the military prison, it has always been customary for him to go there out of uni form, Ia general by himself; sometimes, in more violent cases, nutter the es'Ott bf some comrades, %din, in that case, were answerable for his arrival, but who, for the honour dr the corps, avoided all unnecessary publicity. This, and a thousand other little privileges which bad been granted as a sort of compensation to men, all of them of family, and sonic of fortune like wise, who submitted to the restraint and fatigue of . .common soldiers, have been done away with ,; end a very short time ago, four Gardes-du-Corps sdnt from Versailles to the military prison of the Ahhaye, at Paris, were conveyed in full uniform in an open public • carriage, etscm ted by four of their comrades, like Wise in full uniform. ()niers leave been giyco about saluttp., which were never before ocacted from them ; and the consequence of ell this is, that i majority of the company of Noailles has likewise resigned ; stating, however, that they do not mean their resignation to take effect till their quarter's service is finished. It is probable that Some of the Marshals, who are Major-Generals of the Royal Guaid, look with great jealousy on the Captains of the tom poles of the gardes'-du-Corps ; and as some of their favourires.have beennamed to high posts in this body, they possess an influence which is highly detrimental, • Massepa i4Jle.ati. He had great military talents, and I believe it %vault] be impossible to add another . .:~ tvolll ill his praise. P. S.--I ant assured that the affair of the G ar d cs . du-Corps is settled ; that the 'Offensive pleasures pre to he cliduged ; and that the t Vrct Officers .tvhoin the public accuse Of betraying - the interests of their holy are to be dismissed. I cannot gua rantee the truth of this; but it comes from good authority. It is saill, that the Committee of the House of Commons, now investigating the I'oor Laws,have peoptcd H reSolutioll for extending the term Of )esitiroye to three years, before it person can claim Settlement. NVe are still without Paris Papers, An Evening Contemporary attributes this to the susperiiion of their publication, but this is denied by a Morn ing Paper, and we think with reason, for the same cause could not have operated to prevent the ar rival of the Moniteur, of which we have seen no thing. since Monday.' Private Letters contain some curious intelli gence relative to the commotions among the King's - Gardes-du-Corps. These Loyal Royalists have, it seems, been disgusted by various insults, and at last the majority of them resigned, incon sequence of having sonic of BuotcAPAtrrE's most devoted Adherents thrust in among. them . . This would indeed have been a " most nonatural Union :" it is stated that the matter has been compromised by withdrawing the offensive In truders. It is stated that Sir GEORGE COCKEURNE, is about to be sent with a Squadron to the Coasts of South America. A tnelmire of this kind seems absolutely necessary for the protection of of r commerce, now so constantly interrupted by the multitude of Buccaneers which swarm in these Seas, un►ler Patriot or Independant Colours. A Morning Paper, very judiciously as we think, rc comme►uds a general Crusade of the European Maritime Po►eers against these Pirates. A Morning Paper (The Timea), remarking npon the articles in Tut , . Sorg of Thursday and Saturday upon the relations between Great Britain, and Spain and her revolted Colonies, doubts the existence or any legal authority in this Country to restrain British Subjects from joining the Insur gents. We are surprized at this, as in theseyery a rticles we mentioned the Mit of. Nc:Exera /leo() OS a sufficient means of preventing atly open pro. ceediugs of this sort, tending to embroil us with an Ally. A Royal Proclamation might also be directed against more secret enterprizes of the same nature, and if in defiance of this, any of our Quixotic Jacobins sho . uld recruit the ranks inSouth America, they are not, if taken in arms, entitled to be eon siderecl,Prisoners of War, but may be executed as Rebels. As the Opposition have made a grt►pd effort in the County of Norfolk, it is proper tri,see an what ground their exultation at the result stands. lip , on this subject the Norwich Mercury, an exceed ingly well conducted Journal, belonging to no Party, and entirely independant in its opinions, furnishes us with information. Speaking of the Meeting, it says— " The question now - generally agitated is—do the resolutions speak the sense of the County " Whoever considers the present constitntion of the landed interest of Norfolk, will undoubtedly perceive a very large portion of the estates to be in the hands of Noblemen and Gentlemen who are, and ever have been, adverse to adutinistra- "" ~-s (ion. 1;o: ploperly, ati.i ;lumbers, and opit,ions, are distinct parts of representation." The Mercury then notices the great influence possessed by Mr. COKE, from his large property, his attachment . to agricultural :interests, ,and Lis princely hospitality ; and " Cousideiing tit. direcfitA Atilt the political sentiments of landlords giqe to the votes (not to the opinions) of. their tenants,.it may be safely and decidedly pronounced, that upon all great points of national policy the majority of the County has always been strongly in favour of ad ministration. " The circumstances connected .with the pre sent Meeting must next be examined.. Its object was avowed, and consequently the framers of the measure would make a greater point of at tending, than their opponents. All Meetings held in Norwich are thickened by a large number' of the citizens of Norwich ; and looking at the . intention which is known to subsist of a counter address,. it may be well believed that the muster Vas principally on one side. Colonel Wont:- nom, who of course speaks the language of the ministerial party, did no more - than cuter a protest on behalf of himself and his friends. It is thus tativious„that, the body of Gentle men composing that party did intentionally decline to make the meeting a mere scene of dispute, • preferring Jo reserve the expression of their opinion's for another occasion. These are the particular grounds of influence ; but when we regard the general line of policy pursued by. Mi nisters, we must either be compelled to admit that the sense of the country has teen adverse to the oar agaittst Boon aparte, and to that conduct of the war which led to so glorious a termination, or that it is still in favour of the Government.—Now it is well known that the sense of the County was all along greatly in favour of the war and . the conduct of the war ; and our country men are hardly so versatile a breed, as to consent in an instant to a string of propositions thet re verse all their former opinions. Upon each:of these points the publiz will form their own judg ment. We have endeavoured• to take the plainest, the most candid, and impartial view ; and for the reasons we have alleged, we conclude, that the resolution requiring the dismissal of Ministers, though certainly in consonance with those of a large portion of the county, does not speak the sentiments of any thing like a majority."
