[EXTRACTS FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.]

PARIS:FRIDAY, MAnCrc 10.—Thc King of Sar-
dinia has set a price upon 13uonapartCs head of
400,000 francs, about 16,000 guineas of our mo-
ney,—an example which the King of France has,
it is reported, declined to follow. An offer to as-
sassinate Napoleon having been formally made to
the Due de Berri, was instantaneously rejected
with every mark of horror. Upwards of fifty.
Officers have left Paris since the night before last,
and taken the road towards Italy : the names of

.most of them are known to the police, and at
the War-Office--but it is too late to stop them,
as the hazy weather impedes the working of the
telegraphs.
FRIDAY Nrcarr.—lt has been proposed to the
King to arm La Vennee, and thus secure by one
blow 50,000 brave and devoted soldiers. Louis.
the XV.lllth, who comprehends his own situation
and that of France differently from any of his ad-
visers, repelled the scheme, as offensive to the
body of the nation,—" This is, in its essence,"
said the King, " a contest for publie'liberty—yon
" must not narrow it into the quarrel of the
" House of bourbon. The faithful Vendeana
" might protect my person, but the French peo-
" ple shall defend 'their own cause." Since the
loyal demonstrations'of the garrison at yesterday's
review, attempts hai'e been made to debauch the
the troops in their barracks : a man has been de-
tected in the act of dispersing the proclamations
of linonapatte to the French soldiery, and led,
away on the instant to be. shot.
There are now no doubts that this plan of in-
vading France was a long time prepared, and ela-
borately -combined with machinations. in the in-
terior, and with the organisation of Italy for re-
volt. The latter country is represented to he in
flames ; Murat proclaiming every where the inde-
pendence of the Italian people, with the trea-
chery of the Allied Powers to him and to Genoa—
and marching openly upon Rome and Florence.
Genoa, we are assured, is in decided insurrec--
tion—and IluonapArte resolved to establish him-
self amongst the Alps—to receive his partizans-=-
whom he expects,to pour in to him from all quar-
ters of this country, and to make large draughts
upon the insurgent population of Italy, until he
can swell his small hand into a formidable army ;
and improve the limited enterprizes of a partizan,
into the elements 'of a grand invasion. There are

••••• •••
persons in Penis who foretold his attempt upon
France, from the moment when he suspended his
buildings at' Elba ; and who were' confirmed in
their first prognostications, by the mission of the
majority of his old French guards to different
points of the Southern coast—a circumstance al-
ready stated in all the papers.
SATURDAY, 12 o'CLocK.—lt is no longer time
to speculate. Events haVe indeed overtaken us,
and he %kilo would keep pace with Buonaparta,
must borrow the wings of a demon. On Wednes-
day last he reached Lyons, at the head of only 600
horse, Monsieur and his Staff 'retiring to Cler-
mont. Orders have been already issued th several
regiments in Paris by Marechal Dzvoust, in Napo-
leon's ?mine. All in rear of Lyons is his own. A
regiment of Antibes declared for " the Emperor,';
two at Briancon followed—two of infantry and
the artillery of GrenOble joined the colours of
Napoleon. The Comte de Labedoyere, with his
reginient, was • among the first to abandon the
King's service. There is no doubt as to the ex-
tent and maturity of the organization of this
dreadful movement. At Orleans, on the Ist inst.,
it was universally reported that the King was
dead, and that Buonaparte would come to suc-
ceed him. The consternation amongst the friends
of Government at Paris beats all description : the
Palais Royal—the Fauxbourg—the Coffee-houses,.
&e. ringing with shouts of ferocious and vintne
tive joy, as in the wildest moments of the Jaco-

bin itivolntion :
_deep grief is painted in the eves
of every friend to peace and order—confusion and
terror in. every English countenance astonish-
ment, mingled with a sort of desperate incredu-
lity, in those whose plans or life for themselves
and their families are thus; on the point of annihi-
lation for ever.

Buonaparte is said to offer a general pardon,
excepting only A tigereau, who called him a cow-
ard ;---Alarmont, whose Convention saved Paris
from being burnt ; and another, whose name is
reported differently. Souk was tried by a Coun-
cil of War, at four o'clock. on Thursday, and
cashiered.

Two o'CLocx.—We go from bad to worse.
Le Comte de Boutilliers, Prefect of the Var, had
written almost daily to the Abbe de Mo►nsequieet
for the last two months, to apprise him of the
communications goi►►g on with Elba, and,requir.
ing orders how to act. The sagacious Minister
paid no attention to his letters. The Legislative
Bodies are all in iconfusion—only think of choose
ing such a time for a motion to impeach the whole
of the King's Ministers. But the Ministers are
in equally good condition :—only think again that
five out of. six of these Ministers are -natives of

Provence, which is full of their connexions, and
that that not an individual of them had received, or at
least had listened to, any news of what was pass-
ing and preparing in their own country until the
Government couriers arri►ed, five days after the
fact.

THREE o'cLocx.—The greater part of Mar-
chand's division turned out to join Buonaparte
the General, in attempting to ree:ul -them to their

duty, was mortally wounded by his own soldiers;

LION, MARCH 10, IN THE EVENING.—A
iial entcrprize has been attempted against the
5e.1.41 of this town. Troops, ducted by two trai-
tors, one of whom comm Ends the Departnient,
carne last night about nine in the evening, to be
quarteredein the town of La Pere, with a route
from the Commandant of Lille. These troops
arrived in one day from Carnbray ; their object
bras to tike possession of the 'arsenal in order to
march on, Paris. The firmness of Gen. d'Aboville
nd Major Pion, commanding the 2d regt. of artilh
kry, has defeated this criminal attempt.. The offi-
cers, sub-officers, and soldiers, have all done their
duty. The arsenal and due gates, which are guard-
ed by cannon, ha vp been secured. The remainder
()idle garrison was formed in battle order on the
esplanade, witb their muskets loaded, and the
cannon in 'battery. The traitors did not dare to

execute their plot, • awl they have Avizhtirnivn.
'Their force consisted of four squadrons of Royal
eliasseurs, 1.7t0 mounted chasseurb, and
150 infantry, grenadiers and eliasseurs.
