ARRESTS IN PARIS.

Rumours ilave bvtql in circulation for a day or
two, that some political arrests had taken place
in Paris. The little attention which they ex-
cited, both here and in the French capital,
showed that no importance was ascribed to them.
The following letter contains the only informa-
tion which has as yet reached us upon the
subject

" PAWS, Nov. s.—About a fortnight ago, the Count de
•, son of the Marquis de 31"*., by a Scotch lady, whom
he married during the emigration, arrived at Paris, and took up
his residence at a furnished hotel in the Rue du Mail. The
Count, who is a First Lieutenant in the Dragoons, met in the
street, by accident, a private of the same regiment, who had
been a quarter-master, but had been degraded on account of
misconduct. From the representation of distress on the part of
the latter, the Count de M " *, notwithstanding his genteel
appearance, which was far from indicating poverty, invited
luin to take up his abode at the same hotel, at his expellee.—
The chamber of the Count having two beds, the dragoon
N"*" occupied one ; and the two parties regularly break-
fasted in the house, and dined at the table d'hote, both pas.

a respectable Englishman, who dines at the table, but has
no other acquaintance with them, consented to accompany
N•••• to the Palais Royal. Upon arriving there, Nl*"
perceived some one whom he endeavoured to avoid; but
Ending he was seen, he Approached a g•entleman, of an offi-
cer-like appearance, who addressed him in a most vehe-
ment manner; to which the other replied in terms equally
warm. Ng's", upon rejoining the Englishman, said, Un-
fortunately that is my Colonel.' On Thursday morning,
the Count's servant, when making the beds, found under
N.'s pillow a knife, which had been ground to the form of a
dagger, with a sharp point. This discovery caused consider.
able alarm, and the Count, who is in expectation of receiving
a suns of money, of which the other is,aware, imagined that the
weapon was intended against his life. This idea was strength.

course of the same morning (Thursday), however, Ns*" was

Police, where he was immediately handcuffed, and under.

most serious nature. He is said to be accused of conspiracy

with the conspirators. The servant was also examined yester-
day, relative to the finding of the dagger, &c., and has orders
to remain in Paris, at the same hotel, the police answering for
his expellees. The keeper of the hotel was also summoned yes-

were taken ihto custody yesterday, and that in the house of one

the arrival of Ns'at the hotel in the Rue du Mail, a neso.

who represented that he had 40,000 francs at his disposal, the
master of the hotel, and another party, and advanced so far
that the agreement was drawn up. The proposed union was
subsequently abandoned. At a late hour last night two Com-
missioners of Police went to the hotel, to ascertain that the ser-
vant had not really quitted it."
