ivas to restore order, and to save them from crowds in-
flamed by the sight of blood. They have added, that they
considered their honour pledged to assist the National
Gual ds in maintaining the public peace.
The Order then concludes with praising the courage,
firmness, and moderation, displayed by the National
Guard, and ordering that a staff officer should repair
in the name of the commander-in-chief, to express to
those that have been wounded the esteem and interest
which their conduct deserves."
There is no doubt but this affair has been much
more considerable than it is here represented ; for when
the Moniteur, from which we have extracted this Order
of the Day, owns so much, more must be left •be-
hind. Another affair of this kind, when less prudent
officers are on duty, may cost the lives of • monarchs
and their armies, and the existence of a whole ca-
pital.

ALTERCATION ErrwEEN LOUIS XVIII. AND TIIE

KING OF

We understand from good authority, that the Kings of
Prussia and France lately had an interview, during s hick
Louis X severely complained of the conduct of the
Prussians towards his subjects. The Prussian Monarch
reminded his Royal opponent of the oppressions of the
French in Berlin) and other parts of his dominions, during
the long period of their successes. Tho conversation
grew warm, and at last Loots XVIII. positively declared,
that if things continued in that state, all that Mould
remain for him to do, would be to constitute himself a pri.
toner in the hands of the Allied Powers." To this the
King of Prussia is stated to have replied, that " it might
perhaps become necessary to take such a step." On which
hct wo Monarchs rose, and broke up the interview.

A Mail from Milan(' arrived yesterday," and brought
the following article from Aix-la-Chapelle :----
Valrric.e.rties and Conde are merely garrisoned by the
Town Guard 4.

" Some days since Baron Von Stein arrived here very
tinttin^xpeetvdl y, and proceeded immediately to Paris. It is
hoped that his prei•ence there %%111 have important conse-
quences, the Ministers of a crrottt Power having declared,
It k for the integrity of France, to the disadvantage
of Germany. .% private letter, which, however, wants
confirm:lion, say that they expected, at Paris, that
would not maintain himself in his post much
loner : he is ut variance vvith ho has contrived
to gain all parties. Buonaparte, says the above letter,
Ld attempted, in May last, to excite the Turks to act

proceeding towards France, and F— has disclolea this
pint; to the Russian Cabinet—Russia is therefore in his
favour. F. likewise contrived Buonaparte's journPy to
Rochefort, and his rapture by the English—by this he has
gaited England. To the Austrian Court he 19 stated to

—Au,tria is therefore well disposed towards him." The
letter continues to say, he has the least influence on the
V;us,ians, because he made the ridiculous proposal that
the King should take the crown of France, as Buonaparte
was ruined and the Bourbon family generally hated.
Frederick only laughed at this. still, at this mo-

went; is acting towards all the parties an equivOCal and
most dangerous part. He has pointed out many adherents
of Buonaparte, who, When they come to Paris, are con•
cealed and protected by him, that he may employ or:give
them up as he finds convenient. The sign of the discon-
tented; formerly a red pinky is now a straw carried in the
mouth.".

Another letter says, 44 Our contributions go on slowly
since the Monarchs arc here : Prussia was to have the
civil administration in eleven departments, but Talleyrand
is said to hate evaded this : our officers (of the police, &c.)
arc idle, even Justus Groner is not active, though thou-
sands of the Army of the I;dire come daily to Paris, openly
or secretly, and tire whole population is against us. Thu
telegraphs are frequently at work without our knowing
for what end. Prince Blucher, who is tired of all this, is
said to have asked his discharge, which he has not how.
ever obtained. All is in a state of violent fermentation ;
one cannot sec how the great and complicated problems
can he solved. The French universally hang upon the
Emperor Alexander as their deliverer from the dismirm-
bering or limiting of France by- the other Powers, and yet
this dismemberment seems unavoidably necessary. The
situation of King Louis is the worst of all, who stands iu
the most painful dilemma between the interest of his dy-
nas'y and that of the Allied Sovereigns, his protectors."

Tuesday we received Paris Papers to the 27th, and at the
same time Mails from Holland and Hamburg!' came to hand.
it appears by the French Papers that the people in some of
the departments have assumed the practice of assassinating
the Allied troops; and many of the soldiers of the Austrian
army, commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand, having thus
fallen sacrifices, his Dighness has issued a proclamation from
his head quarters at Dijon, directing that every commune in
which any soldier shall be assassinated shall be fined in
10,000 francs, besides the punishment of the assassin. All
arms are ordered to be given up forthwith under severe pe-
nalties. The horrible practice of assassination appears to
have become very general in France ; and it is asserted that
plots of the same diabolical nature have been discovered
even in the capital. Ney, it is now said, is about to be tried
by a Council of Marshals and Generals.
The Official Get:rife contains a notification of a fot mal visit
paid on Friday week to the King of France by the Emperors
of Russia and Austria, the King of Prussia, the Prince of
Orange, the Prussian Princes, Scc. on the occasion of the
birth-day of the I"tench Sovereign.—llis Majesty on the
same day received the felicitation of the foreign Ambassa-
dors,.to whom Talleyrand gave a grand dinner. One of the
.toasts drank on the occasion by Talleyrand was, " To the Al-
lied Sovereigns, who discerning at once all the present daneers
and all future wants, unite to preserve the civilization of
Dirope, to stifle every where the germs of revolution, to dc.
,troy the spirit of conquest."—The papers are very profuse
in their descriptions of the festivities of the.fe.se of the King.
Any reader, who could forget the transactions of March and
the three succeeding months, must itn seine the Parisians to
be the most loyal, as well as the gayest of people. At every
Theatre some piece was presented in honour of the da:, ;
thirty thousand persons are supposed to have been enter-
tained in them, and each audience, in its turn, duly and
often performed its Vice le Roi! The garden of the Thud•
leries did not contain all the dancers, though there the
grouper were formed early. During an illumination in the
Pveain g, uornerous parties traversed the •streets, carrying
their music with them, that they might dance where they
