PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS; OCT.. 1:3,--1n your paper of the Bth inst.
one of your corro,pondents speaks of .‘ private
letters in which the name of the King was employ
ed to influence the elections." The epitherpricale
might have been Spared. • 1 can,ossure you, that:

letters most distinct, clear, and positive, were'
sent in great' numbers to every= department, and
.without the least reserve, saying that such a man
must be chosen, and such a. man must not. Oro
lets to this effect were given to "sIH the authori-
ties, under pain of the loss of places Ag,,ettri:

electors, and cajoling others. The whole of Of*
scandalous proceedings will be proved brthouo
sands of documents before the Chit mbee looti as
it assembles. You know h,it every Preeitlent of
an EleCtoral College takes an oat h to conduct him-
self impartially, and-not to stiffer any measures
tending to ensit ire or constrain the rotes.

two. returning cilfieers were committed to prison
in England for having merely worn the colours of
one of the candidates, and shown their personal
inclinations in his favonr. How 'much grtater 'an
offence is it to make use of the name of the:King
for such a purpose, especially in a country tike
this, where that name has almost a magical elrect !
YOU will be surprised to learn, that notwithstam!«

of an enslaved press and an unlimited police, hits

Ito-

all the its of the Revolution ; yet it has
not yet ensured to itself a dechjed majority.
The Royalists already reckon above 100 Deputies,
among whom are all the great names of the. late
Chamber, Booald, Vitlele, Corhicres, ',ebony-
donnaye, Triuquelague. Calvieres, Marcella,
Salaberry, Cardonnei, BtIL "it is well known, too,
that these deputies hare haitt supported by
most all the principal landethirontietora in
France,: rot ming.a Mass of near 15,000 persons
of respectability -;: whilst the opp >aiie members
hare chiefly relied 'on the 'Votes of men in Of•

bon. How little von ought to judge of the de-
partments by the state of opinions .in Paris,, is
manifest twin -this circumstance—that whilst at
Paris, on a population Of 631,000 souls, there
are 'eight Deputies, comprising not a single
Royalist, but, on. the contrary, two: members,
of the Re:el ChaMber ; there are in the depart-
ments of the Gard and the li,tute Garonne, on a
population of 689,000 aim's, seven ,Deputies,
all of them Royalists, and all distinguished
members of the late, majority. The manly
and noble conduct of Chateauhriand
not only receives its reward in the applotatt
of every hottest man, from one end of Franca
to the other, but it has even disconcerted his

persecutors, insomuch that atter all the (musty
