PARIS Journals•aml Letters of Wednesday last have
conic to hand. 'The former arc absolutely without in-
terest. The latter not altogether so. One Letter as-
sures us, such is the panic that prevails in) thee Govern-
ment—it starts at its own shadow.
We this day 14 before our Readers the Proclamation
of the Prefect to the department of the Cher, nearly in
the centre of France. On the ioth it appearetl'in the
Consiitutionnel, a Parisian Journal ; which, on that same
day, was suppressed in consequence: a eircumskirece
that gives a great interest to the Proclamation. It is
evident that piots were ripe in) other parts, as . well as
Grenoble.

THE MARQUIS OF VILLFNITVF, PR IFFRFT OF THE CHER, TO THE

11111ABF:ANTS OF THAT OFYARTMENT.
At the moment when secret but .vaissiatrigues were plotting
at Paris, and while maniacs were. expiating, tinder tire and
sword from the Royal Legions, the crime of appearing in 3111%
before Grenoble; otheruntidmen, few in number and.obsetire,
excited to pillage by a miserable carpenter, wished to assem-
ble on the southern b Lay of our Department, anal() carry
discord and revolt into the l'auton of Chateattincillant.
fhi+criminal project was discovered as soon as farmed, and
was no sooner discovered than it was suppressed. If incorrigi-
ble-sedition,be on. the. watch trial ready to disturb the King's
authority, the deposisortiesof that authority and all his Majesty's
faithful servatita• %each also, and extend their observations to
every point.
Three Military Characters, noted in the neighbouring De-
, partiticeits, had scarcely touched-1 the hound:try of the Cher,
I when, vvithin six hours after they matte their appearance, all
the brigades of the Gendarmerie wet ein motion, and (Lay were
know it, pursued, and overtaken.
It is possible that the remains of Jaeoloinism, anti the wreck
of the Military Faction, may still have had.the detestable hope
of plunging a poignant into the.bowels of iinfortutinte Franc.,
already so deeply w led by their crimes and their f;ollts.
Ant if, as has been said by the Nlayors, an insignificant number
of men be inclined to do mischief; se possess I.ery disposition
anti power, promptly and severely, to repress the pertarbators.
All hearts and all milli, as well go all interests, are on this point
unanimous.

And shall I, who am personally-charged.'by the King, our
-.Master, with maintaining your repose and presers MI your pro-
perty' permit revolt, assisted by brigandage, to attain its cri-
minal enth ?
Shall this province he again desolated by rapine ,atiel fatigued
by disturbances? Shall this he a time when a week has M•arer-
ly elapsed sittec enthusiasm was displayed on every.iwint of the
Department, for the anniveivary of the return ut cur King- -
fur the marriagetifalte august Prince who lent a the name of
this eosintry—and fur the solemn oath of ifisidlity thvii taken?
It shall not be so, and .t he evil which threotens.toassoil as, shall
be completely extirpated.
Let the perturbators then deteemine, .for our repose and
theirs, to return. to the ordinary course of. things. IPA them
COMP back to their King awl their fellow countrymen. willingly
and in good faith, and :without. attain :unit-rioting to deceise
those wirowill not he-again deceived. Let them an longer as-
pire to raise powerles.i..seditions, which must render severity
towards them still neceesary. Two chiefs of discord•exiled,
not two months ago, to Mootaulets arid Mu-npe.lller, outfat to
have been a sufficient example; but that has out stifliced.i.Per-

to do more, are this day banished to. a distance from this. [tr..

TORTURE AT MADRlD.—Vicente Richard, a despica-
ble enthusiast, suspected of plotting tog roduce a counter-
revolution in Spain, was seized and imprisoned Madrid
on the 19th of February. On the rack, he accused as
his accomplices the Ex-General Renovales, Don Ramon,
Calarrava,. Don. Juan O'Donoju, and Don Juan An-
tonio Yam Calatruva and Removeles fled ;
but Youth('la being unsuspicious of an accusation so
'completely groundless, were arrested• and thrown-
into dungeons. They were then put to the torture, to
extort confessions front them. O'Donoju had the nails
of his hands and het torn off by the:roots. His life is
despaired of. Yingliala was chained to the ground, and
an enormous weight placed on his breast. tie 48 hours.

The situation of our captive fellow-countrymen in.
Carthagena is truly distressing :tad alarming, and must
excite tivlings of deep interest i 1 every member of the
British community. Frons December last, up to the pre-
sent time, they have been angering in coanmon dungeonF,
or in the prisons of the Inquisition, becaune tley curried
on a trade previously sanctioned by Government and con-
voyed with British men of war. When these persons
were first claimed, Morrillo's answer was, that he bath
only two or three in his power ; but the merchants or
Jamaica proved by their memorial that he had at least
Iwo hundred cadluur, and named the vessels in which they.
had been captured. It now. appears, that the Madrid
Government. also answers, that it is unaware of British •
subjects being confined :;t Carthagena ; though the naval
Commander (Enrile) of the latter place writes home,
.that from the sth of Deceniber, when Curthagena sur-
-iemlered, up to the !2,9th, he hiaa takeir•l2 vessels, most:
of whose names are found in the Jamaica Memorial. His.,
dispatch isdated the :31stvf December, and inserted in The
Madrid Gazette. This is spurting with the lives of our
countrymen. Besides having been stripe of their shirts,
they arc confined .in amost nnhealthy climate, where the -
ail is tained by the nua,bers who died 'during the late'.
