The Provisional Government have issued a doe

Some of the National Guards of :the first legion
have sent letters to the journals, decl acing that the
manifestation of Thursday did not orii inate with the
whole of that legion, for there was a very strong
opposition set up against it ; and that a. great mail
who were induced to concur in it had sit.lce greatly re•
gritted it. The second, and some o titer legions, have
published similar letters.
Galignani's Messenger publishes i be following just
remarks on the absurd reports as to t he state of Par*
which the partisans of the expelled 1 louse of Orleans,
with what intention it is easy to gt sass, are Indus-
triously circulating in this country :- - -
"We find the following in sever; d of the London
papers :-4 A letter from Folkstone, d, it ed last evening.

ridicule the fears and apprehensions o$ our countrymen
in removing themselves and their fami lies from Paris.
but, if lam correctly informed, a reig aof terror' his
been established there in a small and quiet way. A
lady who arrived this morning states, the at she ordered a
dress to be made up for her, the usual a iarge for which
would have been about 12f. When it wa s sent home she
was not a little astonished to find that most extor-
tionate demand of upwards of 70f. was. made. On her
refusal to pay so monstrous a sum, she was impudently
threatened with the vengeance of the m,ob, who, she wits
told, would soon chase all the Britis h out of Paris.
Under the fear of finding herself expos( id to the fury ok
the populace, the lady eventually comp ounded for 60f.,
and left Paris as quickly as she could. This is by no
means the only instance in which the .fears of unpro-
tected English residents in Paris have Ix en worked upon
as a means of extorting money, and this may, in fact.
partly account for the breaking up of sc many English
es tablishmen ts."

The above is a fair specimen of the pretended
descriptions given in the various letters to the London
papers on the state of Paris. The story of the err
orbitant charge for the dress is probably altogetheit
an invention, if not, why did not the writer give the
name of the impudent extortioner P--who cerw
tainly deserved the exposure, if the account
were true. Paris is certainly unsettled, as must-
naturally be the case after so
.violent a change of
Government; but that any rational ground for appre+
hensions like those above alluded to have for- a
moment existed we are prepared wholly to deny, and
we can appeal to hundreds of English residents is
Paris and its vicinity, who know France, and who
remain in perfect tranquillity, for the truth of tbia,
assertion. We may add to this another contradiction
namely, of a statement prominently put forth, that all
letters, without exception, addresssd to English per-
sons in France are opened by the police. We can
positively deny this most mischievous announcement
upon the best of all evidence, occular demonstration.
We are in the habit of seeing numerous letters ad.
dressed to English residents, and can undertake pos.i.
tively to assert that the charge is utterly unfounded

It has been officially announced in Paris that time
