FREKCH PAPERS.

We have received French Papers to the 24th. They
are of course silent respecting the Report of Fouche to
the King, and the answer of the French Ministers to those
of the" Allies. We find, however, that the very prints
which stated themselves authorised to invalidate the au-
thenticity of those, documents, now acknowledge that they
have received MSS. copies of the first in French from their
correspondent in Paris, and that it is widely circulated
through that capital. Little doubt can therefore be enter-
16ced of Foucie being its real author.

'A L R

These papers labour to make us believe that all tbe
south is pacified, whilst it is officially known on our side,
that the southern provinces of France are the seats of
tumult and civil war. .The Protesta►►ts have in general
been the victims, and many hundreds are said in pirate
letters to have perished. Of these events the Paris Papers
have taken little or no notice. When the)' have alluded
to them, it has been merely to say that some excesses have
been committed. But to such un extent have they bee►l
carried, that the Austrian troops have been compelled to
interfere. They have entered Nismes and Avignon, and
insist upon occupy,ng Toulon and Marseilles, in order to
keep down the disaffected.
The fortresses of Alsace are kelit by the Austrians in
strict bockade.

The No Chambers are expected to meet the middle of
next month. Difficult indeed is the path they have to troid,
but the obstacles may yet be removed, and cau only Ir.;
removed by inflexible firmness.
' The Prussian Government has felt it necessary to con-
tradict the rumour that a cession of the Prussian novi LICUS
on the Rhine to Austria, or the Kingdom of the Nether-
lands is intended.

The Paris rapers of Sunday last arrived on Wednesday.
The appeal of Labedoyere, which it was stated was de-
ferred until Monday last, was heard on Saturday. The
result was the confirmation of the sentence. He was exe-
cuted on Saturday last in the plain of Grenelle, at six
o'clock in the evening. Ile displayed to thelast the most
undaunted firmness, but without betraying in hiS conduct
any thing which conld lessen the pity which his fate had
inspired. He was accompanied to the place of execution
by a Clergy-Man, and having gone through some rites pre-
scribed by his religion, he rose from"his knees, and, with-
out suffering a bandage to be placed over his eyes, he cried
out to the soldiers, pointing at the same time to his breast,
" take care—do not miss me ?" The last w,isit
.was
faith-
fully accomplished; they' fired, and he fell to rise no
more.—His wife, who is represented ais an amiable and
virtuous woman, flung herself, two hours before her hus-
band's execution, at the King's feet, as he was g:,tting into
his carriage, to beg Labedoyere's life. The King is said to
have been very much affected by her solicitations, and
replied, that he would have granted the solicited pardon,
had the offence been directed against him alone; but Ow:
the whole of France insisted on the punit-hment of a Imo
who had brought upon it all the horrors of war. Ilk Nlp
jesty, however, promised his protection to Madame Lai:,
doyere, as well as to her infant son. Another paint H 1
scene awaited the King on his return. The mot1::,1
of Labedoyere, in deep mourning, was waiting in the Col:it
of the Thuilleries, to renew the solicitation for the life of hr.
son. However she was not permitted to approach the iiiu:;;
and solicitation would have been useles, as at that m,,-
ment the sentence was carrying into execution.—Mar-
shal Ney did not arrive in Paris till Saturday last, undr‘;
the escort of two gens.d'armes. This small escort was
sufficient to guard a man, who possessed recently the high_
esCrank in the army. Noy was conducted, in the lit :t
place, to the Prefecture of Police, and afterwards to the
prison of Conciergierie, where be is to await his trial.—
The French papers continue to maintain that France will
preserVe her integrity ; that the treaty is actually coo.
eluded ; and that the allied troops will begin to evacuate
France, in bodies of 2.5;000 men; from the commence.
men t of next mouth.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE DUKE AND DUCHESS
OE ANGOULLAIE.

Although the French papers are lined with praises
cm the enthusiastic loyalty of the people, facts occa-
sionally break out through other chanOels, which throw a
gleam of light on the tumultuous and' threatening state of
that country. The following important communication
was received yesterday.

" Paris, Aug. 23, Half-past 11 a. m.
am this instant informed by a person of undoubted
veracity, that he has just seen a letter from the Duchess of
Angouleme, addressed to the Count of Artois, giving an
account of an attempt to assassinate that amiable Princess by
tome military at Poictiers. It appears that the Duke and
Duchess of Angouleme arrived at Poictiers on the 18th
instant, on their road to Bordeaux, and were received by the
inhabitants with the greatest enthusiasm. The air resounded
with incessant cries of Trivott la Due et la Duchesse d'Angou-
leme—Vire a jamais la famille de Bourbons.
•• About an hour after the arrival of these illustrious per-
tonages,at the Hotel preparing for their reception, a number
of soldiers were seen collecting in the street, with several
officers aae their head, making use of violent and coarse 'lan-
guage towards the Duchess. After vociferating 11 has la
ei bas Ics Bourbons, they attempted to force the doors of
the hotel, when the Duke and Duchess were advised to make
their escape by a pair of back stairs, and were tarried off in
tafety by the citizens of the town and the peasants of the sur-
rounding villages.
" I guarantee the truth of the above farts. The imme-
diate departure of the post obliges me to conclude With great
haste."

Such is the letter we have received from our Corres-
pondent. The Papers received yesterday morning of:Wed-
Deaday contain billy the following paragraph relative to those
sllustrioin Personages :—" The Duke and Duchess orAngou-
leme arrived on the 17th at Poietiers, where they were re.
ceived with enthusiasm. On the 19th they continued their
Journey to Boordeaux.—They were to dine on the same
day at A ngouietne."

PARIS, Au VS.—I enclose you a report which has been
secretly circulated here, and which is attributed to Fondle.
But Ido not guarantee it to be his. There is a degree of
exaggeration in it, an attempt to produce imitation and ill
blood that could not sut ely proceed from one of the King's
Alinisters. However, it is industriously circulated by the
Revolutionists, l'ouche's old party.
Though Talleyrand and Fondle arc known to be upon ill
terms with each other,they have for the present accommodated
or adjourned their ditlerences, in order to rally their forces
against the meeting of the two Chambers. The elections are,
in general, good, and the two Ministers seem to think that
one of the first oh:, ects discussed, will be some of the mea-
sures to which they have advised the King.
The system of vigour against traitors will scarcely be
carried much further—and there is general div,atilfactiau
except atnor:g the partizans of Buonaparte and the Jacobins.
The severity exercised against the press is very great, and
as little reliance is to be placed now upon the journals as du-
ring the time of Buonaparte. The Editor of the Journal
General de Frairce has been made to feel M. Fonehe's
displeasure I yet this man has always been a decided
enemy of the Buonapartists, and in a time of great
diiSeu!ty ar,d danger did good service to the Royalists.'
In his Paper, of the 2oth be has
_published an' address,
which he says, that " Elis paper of the 16th was stopped
by superior order, and that the Paper of the 17th would

A VG. 27.

!' be received a day later than it ought to have been. '• During
the time of Ifuonaparte," he says, •• I eaperienced similar
treatment, but I well deserved it from him. The motive,
however, of the present treatment I am yet ignorant of."
In my last I informed you of the arrest of Maret and Thi-
baudeau in Switzerland. Well !" Maret has been permitted
to take up his residence at Bernd. and Tbibaudeau bas been
also released by the intervention of his old bosons friend
I~ouche.
There' are very bad accounts from the South-4)ot they
are only whispered about, and the papers dare not give any
details.

Paris Papers to the 18th, furnish an important document,
namely, an Ordonnance. of the King for raising an extraor-
dinary contribution of 100,000,000 francs (about 4,160,000/,
sterling), as a requisition of war, for the support of the allied
armies in France. The preamble of the Decree alludes to
the evils arising from the presence of foreign troops, and the
sufferings of the people ; but holds out the hope that the
period is not far distant when these sufferings will be,termi-
nated. The evil, it is added, increases every day, and does
not allow the Governinent to wait • fur the -assembling the
two Chambers. The measure, in the first instance, is a sort
of furced loan from the merchants, proprietors, and capi-
talists, who are afterwards to he repaid what they have ad-
vanced beyond their own shares out of the produce of the
contribution.

IThe Duke and Duchess of Angouleme, previous to settirg
out for Bourdeaux, assisted at a ridiculous species of super-
' stations mummery, in a pompous procession to the Church
of Notre Dame, with the Duke of Berri, &c. &c. to cele-
brate what they call the Vow of Louis XIII." These he-
terogenous compositions of Pagan pomp and Romish craft,
we had been in hOpes were laid aside.
The Prussian Officers in Paris omit no opportunity to re-
tort with interest, upon the French.Offieers, their former
conduct in Berlin. In the coffee-houses they will not suffet
any French Officers to be attended to before them. In the
theatres they will not permit any places to be kept for coins
pany expected, whilst they are in want of a seat. At Ma-
dame Catalani's benefit, a party of Prussian Officers took pos.
session of places intended for others. The police was called
in, and a fracas ensued, but the Prussians ultimately kept
posies s i o n.

The acts of Prussia, and the vacancies made by her both
in the Picture Gallery and the Saloons of Sculpture, at Paris,
have encouraged other Sovereigns to make applications for
their due ; the Emperor of Austria has taken measures
for restoring to Florence, Modena, Milan, Parma, Verona,
and Venice, every object of fine arts belonging to those
cities. England, it is said, will act the same part for the
Pope ; and a Protest has been lust entered by the King of
Spain, against the French retaining the f.ve hiurilloa, &c.
which they took from Madrid.
General Clarke, Duke of Feltre, formerly Minister of
War to Bonaparte, and since -employed by the Xing, has
withdrawn from public husiness, and retired to his estates.
It appears that the Duke de 13assano, Maret, has received
three bayonet wounds in a resistance he made to the soldiers

charged to secure his person.
All the particulars in the French papers relative to am
arrest of Joseph Buonaparte prove to be fa;se. The place of
his concealment has not yet been discovered by the police.
Napoleon's bitth-day was celebra:cd at toulogae, on Wed-
nesday last, with enthusiastic deanonstrations,of joy : at Ca-
lais with every mark of public abliorreLce.
