EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Times.)
We have just received, by express from Paris, the
following letter from our private correspondent, and
all the Paris papers of Wednesday. On that even-
ing, it will be seen, the city was tranquil, and the
recent tumults fortunately, to all appearance, at an
end. There had been some scuffles on Wednesday
between a few drunken people, who were at their
carnival frolics, and some patrols of the National
Guards; but it was of no moment, although pre-
tended to be so by alarmists. The following is from
our private correspondent :
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Last night and this day have passed off, as I had
hoped they would, in perfect tranquillity. There
had been, as I mentioned in my last letter, various
scuffles throughout yesterday between the populace
and the National Guards, owing to the determined
and steady manner with which the latter maintained
their posts; but in most instances, I have reason to
believe, the efforts of the people to penetrate the
military lines were impelled by a desire to return to
their own homes in besieged neighbourhoods, or see
their friends during the conviviality of the carnival.
Many (as I mentioned yesterday) were knocked
down in these affrays, but there was no serious
accident.
Before I relate to you some further particulars of
these tumults, I wish to state, and I have this in..
formation from unquestionable authority, that
fortnight ago the Government here was fully ap-
prised that the adherents of the unhappy family of
Holyrood were engaged in plots to revive civil war
in France, and that London was the central point of
communication—the pivot for the organization of
this conspiracy. I believe, too, that some informa-
tion of these projects was made known to the
British Government, and that cordial friendly feel-
ing was manifested at your side of the water, to
prevent as far as possible England from being again
made the theatre of these cold-blooded experiments
upon the peace of a neighbouring nation.
The anniversary of the assassination of the Duke
of Berri was, I am told, an after-thought, as the
signal for an attempt at explosion. The first inten-
tion being, the proclamation of a foolish regency of
the Duchess of Berri for her son. A negotiation
for this purpose was opened in Spain, but the
precious head of that monarchy, " nothing loth" if
he dare, was afraid to commit himself with France,
at this moment in so perilous an exploit, it being, as
I learn, distinctly communicated to him, that any
such act upon his territory would be considered as
" his own." The next sagacious thought of these
unhappy- people at Holyrood was, to ascertain if
upon any rock, or outlet of a port in Brittany, some
fool with a white flag could be planted for a time
just long enough to read to the sea-fowl the procla-
mation of a baby regency— and by the performance
of this exploit upon the French territory, to give it
a mock validity according to the law of nations.
The Vendeans are, however, worn out as brigands;
their old pay is still continued to them, and the
Royal survivor of the intrigues of Coblentz and
Brompton has failed now among his followers to
find a Georges Cadoudal to devote himself in so
desperate an experiment for a worn-out cause.
The mock regency being, of necessity, abandoned,
the pious scheme of a mass for the dead was
fixed upon as the next signal for civil commotion,
and priests were found to profane the altar for the
promotion of this guilty purpose. As I am informed,
it was on Wednesday last that the Government re-
ceived conclusive intelligence that a plan was nearly
consummated for endeavouring to execute such a
conspiracy, that pains were taking in Bordeaux,
Nismes, arid among some of the clergy (curates) of
Brittany to act in combination for the proclamation
of little Harry the King; that signs and modes of
intercommunication were pre-arranged, and that if
Paris could, by a well-directed moventent,be thrown
into confusion, the provinces would soon be found
desirous of extricating themselves from the political
influence which the capital has by some been thought
too long to have exercised over them.
I mentioned in my letter yesterday, that the good
sense of the curate of St. Roch defeated the project
of having the mass for the Duke of Berri celebrated
in his chapel,
,and the Archbishop of Paris was
pleased not to exhibit the same degree of good
sense or feeling in preventing the Curate of St.
Germain l'Auxerrois (a weak and silly old man)
from uplifting his hands to invoke civil war: they
have paid for their folly by flight (as I understand)
and by summary destruction of their moveables.
It is right I should mention, as part of the infor-
mation I have received here, that the strong repub-
lican party,—upon whose heated impulse, after all,
these ultra-Royalists rely for an unintentional co-
operation,—impugn the Government of Philip for
its conduct respecting this last tumult. They say
that the Administration might have prevented any
popular explosion, by seizing at once the known in-
stigators of these tumults,—by deposing the Arch-
bishop when he wa , found yielding,—and by nail-
ing up the doers of the church of St. Germain
Auxerrois; but that they preferred the bustle of a
row in the hope of strengthening the interests of
the throne, by the support of all who love quiet rather
than liberty; and thereby evading the pledges of
the revolution of July to give free institutions to
the people. They say that Ministers had no obs
jection, by this momentary excitement, to turn
away, for a while, the demand of the people for a
new electoral law, and the dissolution of the Cham-
ber. And they go farther, and add, that this eva-
sion of a pledge to the nation is partly accomplished
by the wish of the King and his principal advisers,
to conciliate the monarchial prejudices of foreign
stater.

It is, I know, the intention of the party of M.
Mauguin, in the Chamber of Deputies, to make,. as
I have before said, the recent troubles a stalking.
horse for urging a new charge of weakness against
the present Ministers, who have been raising
" heaven and earth" 'to moderate the conflicting
questions which mitigate the dangers of foreign war.
It cannot, I fear, be denied but that in the present
excited state of the population, the chances tend
more to strengthen extreme than moderate opinions.
The delay, I know, to give the formal and final re-
fusal by the King to the Belgic Deputies, was con-
trived to soften down party asperity both here and
in Brussels. This act upon which the King had
long determined, when he found that a contrary
course would inevitably lead to war, was, for the
purpose I have mentioned, postponed from Monday
last until next Thursday or Friday. The interven-
ing inflammation in the metropolis is most unfavour-
able to a calm execution of the King's purpose;
while, on the other hand, the still further procrasti-
nation would only add to the cry of the violent
party in the Chamber of Deputies, that this Go-
vernment is weak and dependent, and as such un-
able to wield the destinies of regenerated France.
Even such an effect at this moment here has an
apprehension of popular excitement, that Baron
Rothschild trembled for the result of his grand ball
last night, owing to its having been preceded by
some attacks in the journals, for some Russian loan
which he is said to have contracted. The Baron
was not, I have heard, quite free from apprehen-
sions of an uninvited visit from the Carnival folks
last night ; but a splendid party, attended by all the
diplomatists and strangers of distinction, went off
without interruption. However, with feelings of
this kind afloat among parties much operating upon
the public mind, if is not impossible but that the
King may find himself placed in a most painful pre-
dicament in his external relations. The affairs of
Italy, Poland, and Belgium, are elements of com-
bustion, which are constantly stirred up here by the
firebrands of all factions ; and in Paris there is an
excited population, upon which each of these parties
(always excepting the Ex-Royalists, who only fish
in these troubled waters through mere despair) in its
turn likes to play. The populace will undoubtedly
feel themselves stronger after the exploits of the last
two days; and if churches have been opened upon
this holyday, for the performance of divine worship,
for the comparatively few persons in France who
now desire to visit them, the permission is one at

this moment dependent upon sufferance ; for, no
doubt, although the National Guards will prevent
general riot and plunder, the doors of any church
would have been this day nailed up at the command
of any of the bawling mummers of the maskers who
are now finishing their silly Carnival.
To revert to the local proceedings of this city
since I wrote yesterday: the night, as I expected,
passed off without riot, but with the usual noise
and foolery of a popular carnival, which here is a
bad representation of the London Bartholomew fair.
The National Guards, regiments of the line, and
cavalry, were in numerous detachments, and strongly
posted, their pickets thrown out in all directions
and main points of intercommunication well pre-
served, any attempt at serious riot would, from the
civil and military arrangements, have been instantly
extinguished. The troops were all night under arms,
and their bivouac fires blazed in the Courts of the
Palais Royal, Louvre, and Tuileries, and at the
stations in the quarter of the Luxembourg. The
streets were almost universally illuminated, some of
the windows of the houses up to the attics, so that
any attempt of miscreants to destroy the ordinary
lamps, and profit from the confusion of darknees,
would have been unavailing. The prospect from
the bridges along the quays at either side was beau-
tiful, from the streams of light shed by these illu-
minations, and the reflection in the sky from the
watch-fires. The people were in many places talk-
ing in groups about the conspiracy of the Jesuits, to
whom in fact they ascribed all the malignant attri-
butes of the fallen angel; and it was ludicrous to hear
some of them say, with perfect gravity, that the
priests got up this riot to spoil the Carnival for the
people : from some mouths the nobles were mixed
up with the clergy in the alleged conspiracy, and it
required to depth of conjecture to ascertain, that in
the opinions of these groups, the old privileged
orders were, at this moment, in not very high re-
pute. As far as my personal observation extended,
and I remained in the streets from dusk to mid-
night; the people were every where civil to the sol-
diers, joining them in condemning such:outrages as
the destruction of furniture at the Archbishop's Pa-
lace; for, as some of the National Guards observed
to them, the people of Paris would have to provide
new furniture for the old which had been broken.
This provident hint was not, however, conclusively
adopted by some of the common people, who w ere
.talking the matter over as they suggested a coun-
ter-expedient which would save the city from this
fresh imposition. It was to knock down the remain-
der of the prelate's palace, and have no future Arch-
bishop ! Were this question put to the population
of Paris, with the privilege of voting by universal
suffrage, even without the ballot, I fear the abolition
of the clerical functions of this high oflice would be
now decided by acclamation.
The knocking off the fieur-de-lis, and upsetting
the church crosses, seemed also to be an exploit
very much in unison with the prevailing taste of the
Parisian crowd. I observed last night, that where
these dilapidations had been perpetrated great sa-
tisfaction was expressed, and bits of the broken stone
and iron were eagerly borne away as trophies. The
removal of the rich old cross from the church of St.
Germain l'Auxerrois, and the smashing the roof of
the entrance by its fall, was deemed a capital pu-
nishment of the offending curate ; and the proposal
was, to supply the deformity thus caused in the ve-
nerable architectural front of this building, by hoist-
ing a large tri-coloured flag on the site of the old
cross, which had been deposed from its original
station.

At ten o'clock this morning the authorities pro-
ceeded to erase the fleur-de-lis from some of the
churches, to prevent that process from being under-
taken, as it had been yesterday, by such workmen as
the mob furnished ad libitum. 1 saw them erasing the
fleur-de-lis from the church of the Ascension, and they
were, I am informed, similarly employed throughout
this morning at other churches. They did not,
however, touch the cross of the Ascension, nor do I
see any disposition on the part of the people who
are idling about the streets this day, to renew this
part of their clerical vengeance.
The ruin is far more complete at the Archbishop's
Palace and the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois
than I had anticipated. It was dark on Tuesday
night when I saw the former; but the domiciliary
visit of the populace yesterday morning completed
the work of destruction; all the ornaments of the
altar, some I believe presented by Mary Queen of
Scots, with whom it was a favourite chapel, are de-
molished : the painted glass is mostly safe ; but the
pews, divisions, beautifully wrought Gothic orna-
ments, near and upon the altar, are a heap of dust.
I saw the Archbishop's Palace this morning : it is a
complete ruin; it is, in fact, to use a London mob-
phrase, entirely " gutted." A magnificent library
costly furniture, curious ecclesiastical records, a rich
wardrobe,—all for ever torn and scattered,—all the
elements of fire, air, and water, in fact, employed in
this work of devastation.

I have just received letters from Bordeaux, dated
on the night of the 13th. The arrests were still
going on in that town. The son of one of the Ma-
gistrates was there seized on the previous day for
wearing a white cockade. The other arrests, with
the exception of two half-pay officers and those I
mentioned yesterday, appear to have occurred
amongst workmen. I have likewise Tuesday's
Brussels papers. The Courrier des Pays Bas has
a curious letter from a Gottingen student who signs
himself " H. Ahrens, Doctor of Law," in which he
raves against the Government of Hanover as a dis-
grace to the 19th century, and speaks of great cruel-
ties inflicted upon two of his friends, named de
Helmont and Winzingerode.
I have received a letter from Munich, dated the
Gth instant, from which it appears that the popular
journal La Presse Libre has been subjected to a
censorship. I have the editor's protest against this
violence, which is ably drawn up.
Intelligence received from Turin confirms the in-
surrection of Bologna, Modena, and Reggio, and
the flight of the Duke of Modena with his family
to Mantua; and adds, that Romagna, of which
Ravenna is the capital, i 3 also in a state of com-
motion.

There is no doubt that the Russians were to have
crossed the Bug and entered Poland on the sth
instant. Each party anticipates heroic success; the
Poles have with them all the sympathy which a
good cause inspires.
P.S. The King has this day visited several parts
of the metropolis, and been every where received
with great enthusiasm.

(From another Correspondent.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16.
The French are indeed an extraordinary people.
If they are prone to excitement, and are often
guilty of acts of violence, it must, on the other
hand, be admitted that they are equally remarkable
for their readiness in returning to a state of tran-
quillity. The commotion produced by the criminal
and absurd proceedings in the church of St. Germain
l'Auxerrois, on the occasion of the anniversary of
the death of the Duke de Berri, is already at an
end, and people begin to regard it as a mere inter-
lude to the ludicrous festivities of the Carnival.
You are aware, that on Shrove Tuesday the lower
classes in the French capital indulge themselves in
all manner of boisterous mirth. In the morning
vast numbers are to be seen parading the Boule-
vards, and all the principal thoroughfares, in chaise-
carts, cabriolets, and carriages of all kinds, decked
out in every possible variety of fantastical costume,
and many of them displaying no small degree of in-
genuity in the arrangement of their groups, and the
style of their decorations. In consequence of the
local tax on wines, introduced into the capital, there
have long been established at all the principal bar-
riers, a number of guingueiles, or drinking-houses,
where music and other entertainments are provided,
to induce that concourse of company which an occa-
sion like that of Ilfardi Gras is sure to assemble.
Having yesterday witnessed the vengeance which
the populace had taken on the church which had
been made the scene of the insane attempt to which
'4l I have already alluded, on the house of the Cure,
who had assisted at the ceremony, and on the

Palace of the Archbishop, who is believed to have
been its secret instigator, I was curious to watch
the progress of the popular feeling; and soon after
midnight, when the streets of Paris had resumed
their wonted tranquillity, I proceeded with two
French friends to the Barriere de la Raptse, near
the Jardin du Roi, and from thence pursued the
exterior boulevard, as far as the Barriere de Cour-
tille, the chief scene of these festivities, visiting as
we went all the principal guinguettes, and mixing,
as we were prepared to do by the disguises we had
assumed, in all the dancing and merriment which so
speedily followed the deeds of violence and yen-
geance in which many of those around us had been
prominent actors since they last had slept.
The number of masks to be seen on the streets in
the morning was smaller, perhaps, than in former
years, but the extravagance of their midnight revels
was evidently increased by a consciousness of the
victory they had achieved over the party who are
justly regarded as the unforgiving enemies of the
revolution of 1830, and of all its results. In spite
of the numerous proclamations of the Government,
which will doubtless have reached you through other
channels, calling on the people to pay respect to
private property, arid to leave the punishment of
the offenders in the hands of the constituted autho-
rities, it was obvious to me, from what I had yester-
day an opportunity of observing at the sack of the
Archbishop's P.dace, that the troops on duty had
been specially charged to prevent the appropriation
of any part of the moveables in the Palace by those
engaged in the pillage, but at the same time to wink
hard at its total destruction. I saw a person de-
cently dressed pick up three or four volumes in ele-
gant bindings, which had been thrown from the win-
dows, and placing them under his arm, prepare to
walk off with them; but on the movement being
observed by a party of the National Guards on duty
it was civilly hinted to him that he was at liberty,
if so disposed, to throw the books into the river,
but that he could not be permitted to carry them
away with him. The house, in fact, was com-
pletely gutted, and the very floors torn up, and sent
floating down the Seine. Further down the river a
number of boats might be seen filled with people
eagerly engaged in the task of fishing up the wreck
of the Archbishop's property; but I am not one of
those who have any great fai,h in the assertion that
it was all for the purpose of restoring it to the hands
of its owner, or of placing it under the custody of
the Government.

This afternoon I have again made the circuit of
the city, and although the streets in the neighbour-
hood of Notre Dame and the Louvre are more than
usually thronged, the only apparent feeling i 3 that
of curiosity. No further pillage is now permitted,
and I have not the least doubt that the general ten-
dency of the whole proceedings will be to strengthen
the hands of the present Government, and to bring
to it a great accession of popularity. The National
Guards are still under arms in all the quarters of
the city, and a regiment of the line is posted in the
courts of the Palais Royal ; but these demonstra•
tions of force appear to be displayed rather to
evince the watchfulness of the Government than
from any necessity for their longer continuance.
To-morrow I have little doubt that the attendance
of the Guards will be dispensed with.

The following are extracts from the Paris Papers
of Wednesday
" The solemn reception of the Belgian Deputies
by the King was fixed for yesterday, but in conse-
quence of the disturbed state of the capital it was
postponed until to-morrow.
" The following proclamation of the Minister of
the Interior has been issued this morning :
" Inhabitants of Paris,—A feeling of indignation,
for which there is unhappily too much cause, has
produced melancholy disorders. Forgetting the
justice of the King, some citizens took upon them-
selves to execute justice. They have thereby only
supplied our most cruel enemies with arms. The
conquests of July should not be thus defended.
Respect for the law and love of order are the true
ramparts of liberty. The principal authors of the
factious ceremony which took place at St. Germain
l'Auxerrois are in the hands of justice. It is the
duty of us all to await in silence the sentence which
it will soon pronounce. At present no new disorder
can find any excuse. Brave fellow-citizens, retire
far from such groups of factious men as may attempt
to form themselves at several points. It is time
that the agitations constantly renewed should cease,
and that the energy of the nation in arms, so worthily
represented by the admirable National Guard of
Paris, should deliver up to justice all those who
may attempt to shake the popular throne of Louis
Philip.
" Feb. 16. " MONTALIVET."

The Quotidienne announces, that, at four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, that journal was seized ; and
adds, that whatever may be the motive for such a
severe proceeding. and the difficulty of existing cir-
cumstances, it is determined, without defying danger
or dreading it, to support its principles. The Ga-
zette de France was also seized.

The pupils of the School of St. Cyr have pub-
lished a declaration, in -which they disavow any con-
nexion with the pretended pupil of that school,
dressed in their uniform, who crowned the bust of
the Duke of Bordeaux at the church of St. Ger-
main l'Auxerrois. They at the same time express
their warm attachment anti fidelity to Louis Philip,
King of the French.
The following persons have been arrested, viz.:---
The Baron de Vitrolles, an Ex-Peer of France;
Viscount Felix de Conny, an Ex-Deputy; M.
Hinaut, an Ex-Chief of the Central Police of Paris,
and his son ; M. Auguet, a retired Captain and Ex-
Adjutant of Paris, lately returned from England;
M. Durouchoux, wine-broker; M. Gombaud, an Ex-
Commissary of Police, and M. Galleton (the same);
M. Devallergues, a retired officer; M. Liautard ; M.
Valerius ; the Curate of St. Germain l'Auxerrois ;
M. Rubelet. A warrant has been issued against
the Archbishop of Paris, M. Ferdinand de Berthier,
and several other persons. At the house of Vis-
count de Conny was found a rough plan of a
Royalist Association between the South and La
Vend6e. Printed pamphlets and some correspond-
ence were found at the lodgings of several others,
By a resolution formed yesterday, the Royal Court
has instituted an inquiry into this important affair,
and appointed Chief President Seguir to conduct it.
The Courrier Francais states " last evening,
couriers were sent off by the Carlist faction to diffe-
rent parts of France, to announce that Henry V.
had been proclaimed King at Paris, and that there
was fighting in the streets. '
The Government, on Its side, has sent off tele-
graphic despatches to the departments, in order to
tranquillize the public mind, and prevent any un-
favourable effect from unfounded rumours.

The following proclamation was issued last even-
ing by the Prefect of Police :
ig INHABITANTS OF PARIS !
" Immediately after the days of July, the coun-
ter-revolutionary party who, in the moment of
danger, sheltered themselves behind misled soldiers,
returned the course of their former plots. It is un-
der the shield of that liberty which our law guaran-
tees to all, without distinction of opinions, that this
party seek to subvert the institutions which we have
won.

" They have now taken our forbearance for hesi-
tation, and our confidence in ourselves for weak-
ness. Yesterday they threw off the mask at St.
Germain l'Auxerrois, by a senseless provocation to
civil war, concerted, even by their own avowal, with
Holyrood. This crime comes within the reach of
the laws, and several of the persons charged have
been arrested.

" Our cowardly enemies have only one means of
figuring still in our country; it is by creating divi-
sions, and sowing among us mistrust and discord.
These manoeuvres have, during forty years, done too
much harm to France for them not to resort to them
again at present.
