PRIVATE AND ALTtiiENTIC,' C'.7)Ii.IiESPOND'ENCE,

PARIS„Iue. 6.—1 am tired of Conspiracies,
and eo, it .appear,,• is tiie Goveinment ; for
1110,110 the arrests have enntimied till within

these few.days, it is now generally understood
that the parties have little io fear, and they may
.....•
each make their dungeons echo with the
" There's a sweet little cherub sits smiling aloft,
to keep watch for the lift 'of • pan,. Jack."—La
Note Secrete, of which 20,000 copies, were sold
in three days, as we are told, has been seized by
orders of the Police; hut it is confidently assert-
ed that it is privately re printing--and, however
we disapprove of clandestine publications, we
cannot but applaud a resolution, spring from what
quarter it may, that tend 4 to put_ this infamous
pamphlet in the hands of every person. It ought
to be printed in the cheapest form, and distributed
by thousands in `every town;village, and hamlet
throughout France, for it shews, from their otvn
mouths, the treasonable designs of those persons
who so impiously call theniselves the sole De-
fenders of the Throne and the Altars, They who
would not Stick at the murder of half Franee
to
gain their ends, and who, like NEB.°, wish their
enemies had but one neck, that the head might be
severed at a single blow ; but cowards are al-
ways cruel—the sight of danger happily turns them
pale, and, au old French grenadier would put a
hintdred of the bravest of them to flight :—but
then they have a feW Dreadnoughts in their pay,
to execute the necessary butcheries, such as
TRESTAILLON, whom they sent for to Paris, under
pretence of bringing an action fur libel,ibut really
to head a gang of murderers. The Govern
ment knows, all this, and wiukS at it, lVha

ate we to conclude --from • this ? Either it is
so strong that it clespises all these treasonable ef-
forts, or it is so weak that it is obliged to com-
promise with them ; if the former, we should

wish to see more uoequivocal proofs of its strengtl
and vigour ; if the latter, we may confidently pre
diet the most fatal results. Ilet eis a party whici

plots treasons at Lyons, and commits numerous
murders, under the pretext of justice ; it enjoys
impunity. Encouraged by this safety, it dares to
attack even the-Throne itself, and, tor reasons
which will ere long be made public, the Throne

is magnanimous enough, as it seems, to pardon
!! This conduct reminds us of ROCHESTER'S
lines on the famous Colonel BLOOD :---
3:31.00n, that. wears treason in bis face,
Villain complete in Parson's gown, •
How much is he at Court in grace,
For stealing Ortsturco and the Crown!
•
Since Loyalty does no man good,
Let's steal the KING., and outdo BLOOD!
No doubt the French Government has its rea.
sons for its conduct, but thoSe who are the warmest
friends of the Constitution, who equally detest
the Ultras anti the Jacobins, observe its vaseilla-
titms with poignant • grief, probably for want of
the master hey that opens every secret ; they wait
with itupatieirce to see a termination they ardently
desire, but dine scarcely hope. The Fete of ST.
Louis (the 25th inst )will, I understand, explain
part of these ','•s,
