where he spent three weeks. his acknowledged intention
was to offer his submission to the King, and as he had mar-
ried the sister of the Duchess of Fitzjames, the Duke of
that name took upon himself to present the adhesion of his
brother in law to his Majesty.
The Prefect of the Department of Var had discovered
both the correspondence and the plot ; he sent successively
three letters to the Abbe de Montesquiou, but receiving no
*timer he directed one of his relations to call on the mi-
nister and point out how important it was he should know
what measures he was to take. But not one of the Pre-
fbct's letters had hem unsealed ! !
The conspiracy was talked of so openly at Paris, that
the Dutchess of St. 14:-.11, whom the Buonapartibts call
Queen liortense, thought her safety required she should
write to the King, to complain of the calumnies to which
she was expoted. Count de I3lacas took upon himself to
dispel her apprehensions, and to assure her that the King
was persuaded of her good sentiments towards the Bour-
bons. It is also stated that the influence of this provident
minister occasioned the appointment of Marshal Ney to
command the troops sent against Bnonaparte. Ile also
called alarmists those who had told him that after having
taken leave of the King, Marshal Ney had said at the foot
of the grand staircase of the Thuilleries "lls son: f—"
64 They are lost."
Hitherto we have exposed the excess of infatuation of
this blinded Minister. The following fact, which has also
reached us from the same authentic source, will prove that
it was but too deeply shared by the good and confident
Louis.

During his residence at Hartwell, this uncrowned mo-
narch had gained the affections of all his English depend-
ents. Amongst the rest was the gardener, whose (laughter
had eloped with one of Buonaparte's parole-breaking Ge-
nerals, and gone to France. In the month of October last,
she wrote from Paris to her father, to inform him that
a conspiracy was on foot to depose the Kiog and re-
store Napoleon to his throne. Alarmed at this in-
telligence, the good old man lost no time; but, secure
of a welcome at the court of his ancient master, even
were he not the bearer of such important intelligence,
be immediately repaired to Faris with the letter, and found
easy admittance to the Thuilleries. His reception, how-
ever, had been public ; he requested a private interview,
and then produced his daughter's writing. The King pe-
rused it, smiled, thanked him, and assured him 46 that
there was nothing to fear from Buonaparte ; that his own
restoration was complete, and that he was now fixed on
the throne of his ancestors for ever." lie then dismissed
lira with rich presents, and paid no attention whatever to
the information.

This amiable but ill-founded confidence, on men who
now boast that they only pretended to obey, in order to
betray the King, encouraged treachery, and is one of the
chief causes of that sudden and complete revolution, which
in a few days, and without the least resistance, has swept
the throne of the Boarubons from the earth.

Fiench Papers were received last night to the 30th ult. of
which the following is the substance :

(FROM THE KONITEER.)
From Angers it is stated, under date of the 26th, that the
tranquillity in that quarter bad been disturbed by a Procla-
mation of the Duke of ikxurbon, upon perusing which a M.
d'Antecbamp, at Beaupreau. transmitted to his Royal High-
ness a- letter from Colonel Noireau, of the Gendarmerie, in
which 1;0-'4 invokes the magnanimity of the Royal Prince to
calm an effervescence of which the first effects would be to
plunge La Vendee into misery and bloodshed." lle then
calls on the Prince to give the necessary orders for prevent.
ing the rising of the people, in return for which be pledges
himself for his security and a safe conduct whithersnever he
may chose to go.
M. d'Antechamp conjured the Prince to renounce his
projects; but Messrs. Laroche Jacquelin, Seris, Rene Ni-
colas, &c. adhered to the good cause which Antechanip
abandoned. His desertion, however, it is affirmed, occasion.
ed a great impression on the spirit of the Loyalists, and the
Prince was soon left with a few seditious and the small 1111111••
her who formed his Council. He thereupon suspendeit his
proclamation, and sent his Aide-de-camp to demand blank
passports for forty persons—which being granted for Spain
or Eugland, the insurrection dissipated and the affair ter-
minated. The new Vcntlean war, thus closed in three days,
is ridiculed by the writer of Angers.
MARCH 28.--There was no review yesterday ; his
Majesty was busy all.day with his Ministers in his Cabinet.
The Prince of Moskwa (hey) had arrived at Lille on the

that owing to the sensation excited in Belgium by the events
at Paris, the English troops, with all their baggage, were re-
tiring towards Antwerp.

70 centimes, including the Regent diamond, which is esti-
mated at 6 millions. . _ .
