PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Pants, OCT. 12.--Since the commencement of
the elections., conversation has assumed a tone of
freedom which would have been called seditious
before ,the dissolution of the Chamber. The me-
rits of the two parties (the pure Royalists and
Constitutionalists) are discussed without reserve.
The one party fs bold in the confidence of its
principles, the other in the. support of the :Ali-
nistry. The Ministers seem to bare a great
number of partizans among the coffee house poli-
ticians and the literati, who crowd the reading
rooms. It is probable the efforts of these Gen-
tlemen to make proselytes arc neither undeSigned
nor gratuitous ; yet they are understood to be
losing grOtind every clay. They have the sup.
port of individuals, who think themselves suf.
ficielitly enlightened to be leaders, but between
them and the great uninstructed mass of the
people, there is not the least sympathy. In seve-
ral of the departments the electors did not as,
semble in sufficient numbers to proceed to their
functions. I have heard three places named as
in thii predicament, one of which was Lisle; this
arises not only front indifferente, but from the
dread of individuals to commit themselvea. The
Ministers have written letters containing the bit-
terest reproaches, to several persons of weight in
the departments, for the manner in which they gave
their votes. It seems the thange of system was so
sudden and extraordinary, that lisflions gins de pro-
oincetlid not understand it. They naturally suppoteed
that, by voting for thase most distinguished at
Royalists, they most gratified the King. One of
the great advantages which the, Royalists possess
in the departments is, that they are supported by
a !nisi of peasantry, whose very ignorance but
increases their zeal. There is in France a Roy-
alist, but not n Constitutionalist, peasantry. The
latter is a distinction which they do not under-
stand; it must, therefore, have greatly perplexed
theta to choose bet Ween candidateS, each of whom
presented himself as the person tavoored by the
King, and where each had extremely plausible
grounds in support of his claith to the character of
the real Simon Pure. The trine of the Royalists be-
entries every day more confident: They reject with
horror the title of " the Opposition," which
has been given them by the malice of their
competitors ; they ray this is but an experiment.
which will last but a moMent, and expire by a
signal failure, upon which the King, convinced.
of his error, will rally round him the real friends
of the throne. It has been said, among otiter re-
ports of the tiny, that the Duke of Feltre is to
retire.from the administration. I asked a Gentle
man who mentioned it, what was the reason of
his going out of office ? "Oh !" returned he," be
knows the greatest possible imprudence is to catch
a falling knife or a falling Minister." Upon be-
ing. asked who was to succeed bins in the War
Department ii he said the Duke of Tarenturn (Mac-
donald), It is probable, however, that no change
will take place until both parties shall base-tt led
their strength in the Chamber.

The infant son of the Count de &ACAS, French
kmbov ador, was baptized at Rome on the 16th
t. The Cardinal GoNsAiNt, who stood proxy
for the Popg as godfather, after the ceremony,
put round the neck of the infant a collar of Lapis-
lazuli, to ‘vhich was attached a medal, set in
brilliants, anti enclosing a relique of the real
cross.

and the following on a like subject we submit
rithout a comment to the Public. These are the
causes of our national distress

14 It is conceived that the butcher markets do
riot at all npproximlite to the low ,(and indeed
ruinous) prices which the graziers are obliged to
take-in the stock markets : many of the consi-
dcrahle farmers in Northumberland are beginning
to slaughter for their own consumption ; and se-
veral of the collieries regularly send to Morpeih
market, and purchase live stock,, which is killed
and distributed among their numerous population,
with a prodigious saving in price."—(Newcastle,
Courant.)

The Chester Paper received to-day notices the
late forged account of a Poblic Meeting there,
vaich it justly denominates an " infamous hoax."

The fabrication li% however answered the pur-
pose of its circulators, and similar base arts and,
falsehoods so contrived, propagated, and contra-
dicted, will serve as well as realities to keep up
the ferment which is the only element of the dis•
loyal and revolutionary

There is, another advertisement offering a salary
for a person versed in poetry, and able to teach
it. On which the. Paris Editor remarks pleasant-
ly, that no one after this w.ll venture to say that
poetry is a trade by which a man cannot get bread.
A writer in the Journal des Debats, who sighs
himself D. loerhaps M. Domorr) has taken the
pains to analyze the Parliamentary port an the
Police of our Metropolis.. His remarks are mostly
judicious, end show R considerable acquaintance
with the -subject. We mention this merely as one
striking instance, among many, which arc con-
Inanity occurring, of time accurate knowledge and
earnest interest which French writers now Mani-
fest the habits, and affairs of this
country. It is pleasant to see this sort of literary
inti'macy between two nations. •
