The journey of Charles X. to Compeine, to abi'd
much importance was attached, has protium! not ok ti
expected results ; it led to a shooting party, and
more. The Ministers keep their placts, and thft
have predicted their downfal are obliged to pottpone
accomplishment of their prophecies till the approach:.
meeting of the Chambers. It is said that M. de
has fallen considerably in the King's favour,

racy against the Ministers, which was to he diseme;,:z

lately suffered himself to be duped by an agent of pia
to make some egg-cups, on which the likenesses of Nap,
Icon and Lafayette were painted : no sooner were tlia
articles executed than the police pounced upon the p
manufacturer and arrested him, and not only seised all.

on with the perfect knowledge of Franehet, and M. E

contrive to occupy the King's time so fully with repin
I and plans respecting public affairs, as to leave him WI
moment's leisure. Their design is, by fatiguing him
.1
this way, to disgust him altogether: with public busines
and oblige him to leave it entirely to them. They areas
engaged with the indemnity of the emigrants; and it v.-
, tended, I hear, to call to Court M. Dard and M. Bees*,
for the purpose, it is stated, of consulting them on tii
important question. These individuals are well known is
their violent writings against the sale of the national
mains. It i:; not by consulting such advisers as th a tie

will conciliate the feelings of the nation, in favour of Met
project.

The investigation respecting the assassinations at
annex, is, for the present, ended. It is stated that Peva-
voine underwent a long and severe examination, which at
last he begged might be closed ; whilst it was proceeding
he is said to have shed tears, and in his language and be-
haviour shewed less assurance than at his former intern).
gation. He persists, however, in asserting his innocent!,
though there can be no doubt of his guilt, but the nioticee
which led him to comer't twosuch wanton and cold-blooded
murders are veiled in the darkest mystery. The sffii:
will soon be brought before the public; hitherto not& word
has been suffered to transpire.
You have read in the French and German Pliers, the
accounts of the melancholy devastations in many puts et
France and Germany by the overflowing of the rivets, ye-
ticularly in the vicinity of the Moselle and Alennbe,
where whole villages hare been overwhelmed, and hoes,,
mills, and manufactories, swept away by the torrents. t
dreadful a disaster has not before happened within the memory
of the oldest inhabitants ; the waters of the Seine hare for
some time been daily increasing; a good deal of haul is
completely under water about St. Cloud and Vetsailles.—
The reports from Alsace and the borders of the Rhine n
not less distressing; property to the amount of several v.-
lions of francs has been destroyed, and a great numbed
families has been reduced to beggary, or have perished ti
the floods.

number of persons who had passed the night clinging a

wood had been heaped up, but it was soon covered le:ta
water. Several persons of the high part of the cow:rr
came on horseback to ascertain whether by chancearo /an
of their property had been saved. The Lech brokers
