LONDON.

• FRIDAY, DEcEmnEa 15, 1815.

The interest with whirl) we were accustomed to
greet the arrival of l'ariN Papers appears now com-
paratively extinct. The gieat political events,
whu•h have there oettirred in such rapid SUCCeSSIOII,
the wonderful revolution that hits been effected in

the system of Europe, and the tacit concurrence of
the French nation with the will of their coupler-
ors, seem to Inter left nothing to stimulate our cu-
riosity. The reign or legitimacy is confirmed—its
triumph is complete ! What therefore remains to
arrest our attention, but the occasional trial and
liment of those individuals who dared to dis-
avow its principles? And such, in reality, is the
thief feature of intelligence contained in the jour-
nals of the 11th, which we hove just received.
The proceedings against General DEC1:11.1 I.! hate
commenced lwfore the St'll!Olilt COUOCII Or War
sitting at Paris, which, with the trial of General
DROUOT, will for some time occupy the public at-
tention. This event may he utmost mitiripated. The
heavy exactions and demanals of the Allies appear
to hate generated in France a jealousy of their fu-
ture intcntious. To what other cause can hr attri-
buted an miler of the day published at Lille, which,
sifter noticing the passage of tiiis divisions of the
Allied Armies, of 3,000 men each, near that town,
on two successive da)s, commands the garrison to
observe the niost exact precautiotis to prevent the
entrance of the " foreigners?" It locutions the
