It'is believed, or at least hoped; that ifris a Melt...

dangerous to it. All the Chiefs of the Royalists
Who had the benefit of the AMnesty, andall
connected with the Chouap, are either tirreStedf
or sought after with a 'view -to being 'stk. 'The
Temple is full of them, andit is much-feared ticali
these arrests Will be ekvendedto the:Departments.'
(This fear appears well founded, for several per-:c1
sons have been arrested at Brussels.), :Several La-,
dies belonging to Brittany have been taken up
among others Madam de Govitt her
two daughters, and Mad. de Cis' are mentioned;
The Barriers are cons.tarttly shut 1-,noq,erson can
enter' or depart from Paris 'without Passports,
and all those whe, arrive, and' whom the. Govern.:

a measure, - It .is:pr4ended that th;.;: robberies of
the Diligences is one of the causes of these ar-
rests, and that a great 'number of persons are im_
plicated in them. Nothing has become more
common than these robberies,a,ndit is undoubted
that out of'twerity Diligences 'Which deart from
Paris, more than half of that number do not or.

ing undergone the search of, the -Banditti, and
without haVing been ransomed. It is said that
Government also suspeas some- of the persons- at.
rested:of being concerned in ,-the Plot of the In..
finial.- All men are desirous' that those really
guilty may, be discovered,
..bet-p§:e theree that,•
they are themselves in danger .of being made the -
viCtims of a measure'so severe. ;.•
The' hopes of the peaceable areniach damped,-
even by the measuies pursued against'the gull. .
Among those arfested, are Mr de I\ll*******,
a Gentleman of Brittany, Who, however, never
was a Chouan, as well as several others not more
guilty than hithself,- and many of whom were even
in a state of surveillance... , -
" It is said, that the Person.vvho set fire to
the Infernal Machine; is dinarf who figs been at-
! rested in a house belonging to -a. Colledion of
Nuns., who let lodgings, and -that 'it was on the
recommendation of Madame de *t*?, who cer-
tainly never had the least connection with !that.
v
person, -and who probably scarcely eve saw him
—that this man has concealed. himself in this
house, where 4*** happened' to lodge, and.sO
violent is the Goverment in their tresumptionsb.
that they infer from this, that she must know
this man, and consequently 'be able -to give-some
information respe6ing him.
'I It is certain that there exists a well
organized system' of robbing the stage-coaches,
and!thatit would be very fortunate if the Go.
vernment' could succeed in destroying it.. Nobody
will chuse any longer to travel in this manner
after what has happened to that of Rouen. It is
said that henceforth they are to be escorted by
guards 'on horseback, but the brigands, aware of
this resolution, will not fail to increase their force
for the attack, so that_ this will be no remedy.

English Lottery begins drawing.—The Tickets,
Halves, Quarters, Eighths, and Sixteenth Stampt
Shares are selling in the greatest variety of Num.
hers, and lowest terms, at Mr. NICHOLSON'S
Office,' No. i 6; CornhiA, opposite the 14nk of
England ; where the Schemes at large',- contain-

that has attended the purchasers at this Office,
are to be had gratis.—N. B. As Tickets and

Many wagers are' depending on the siie and
weight of the justly celebrated .rigot Diamond,
which is the constant topic dt k:o:lvrsation among
the Beau Monde: and as the price of the Tickets
for -obtaining it, is so very small, when put in
,Antipetilion with its., unrivalled merits, every
person is anxious to livid a chanec kr it.
