RECENT CONSPIRACY',
Ma. projected. istianinatton o.
his MAJIIIITY‘SMinisters, basic-Mowed the iritirder
of the-Duke de BERRI so rapitlly, that there is cer-
tainly ground for supposing a.,corresponffence.to
exist between the leading Radiesls in .France and
England. This idea is the more itrengtheneti.by
information, derivedfrom the best. authority, -that
Thistletiood has been frequently in France. dur-
ing the last four years, and that on every return
from that Country, he was in the habit of -distri-
buting comparatively large sums amongst his
followers, although his previous poverty was, alt.
parent to all who knew lath.' I think Ministers
would do well to institute -an inquiiry into this
fact, as it might lead to important diielOsures. Of
this horrible plot against the'State,lt may be re-_
marked, that- none of the conspiratorswere driven
to the desperate step by individual suffering from
the distresses of the times. I saw the wife of
,Bradburn, the carpenter who is apprehended, and
hearth her declare in the public street that her
husband did not want employment, and might
have supported his - family with credit, but
he would not work, and has for six months
past been closely connected with Thistle-
Wood, from whom if is- supposed, that he
received pecuniary assistance. He was yes-
terday morning sent for by that Leader, and re-
mained with him during' the day. The ferocious
exultation of the Republicans in France, after the
murder of the Duke de BRRRI, is equalled by the
gloomy despair of the Radicals, who, in large
groupes, have loudly expressed their regret at the
-failure of the plot, and their wishes for the safety
-of Thistlewood. The situation of France and
England is at this moment rather similar ; in
both, the doctrine of assassination has been in-
culcated by a depraved Press, but there is
this important difference in the conduct of
the leading Agitators ; there, the men of la-
tent have always headed the mob, and 'given con-
fidence by their own daring ; here, the would.
be Billets of the Land stimulate their deladed
followers to action, and calmly await the result
of their desperation. England, therefore, may
have many Plots and Conspiracies, and no Re
volution ; but France must suffer from, the mu.
trivial agitation.

M.
EDITOR.The assassination of the Duke
Beau, and the -apprehenSion of a military man
on suspicion of his being .an: accomplice of the
murderer, have-induced me to refer to some note,
.of e-eonversation, which took place in-Patis in
July last, and which appears -to be -ttrongly ap-
plicable to the present circumstances. As I do
not court publicity, yon will feel the propriety of
suppressing my name,- when you insert this Let-
ter, but youi-amat liberty to use your own dis.
cretion with.any inquirer who may apply for it.
I was
_sitting in a Coffee-house in the Rue du
Boulisi near the Palais With two friends,
who were to accompany me on a tour to Italy on
the, following. day; our conversation was chiefly
about our proposed journey, and the difficulty we
bad experienced in our applieation for post.
horses. In the tourse of-the evening 1 observed
to the Coffee-house-keeper that the French post
regulations-were very arbitrary, and the Post-
masters, as far as my experience went, what they
were generally said to be, a set of imposing
scoundrels. This observation received the im-
mediate concurrence of the person to whom it
was made, but a Frenchman who was sitting at
the other end of the room, eery abruptly ex-
claimed " Ce, West pas biro fair d'iin Anglais
d'insulter. les Francais dans la France name."'
I immediately apologized for the expression,
stating, that 1 did 110 t mean it as Mn insult to the
French Nation, but as my opinion, which was
also a general one with the French themselves,
of the dishonesty of a particular class of persons ;
this apology was instantly accepted, and my par-
don asked for the abruptness of his interference.
The Frenchman, however, began a long complaint
against the British Government, charging them
with all the miseries which France had under.
gone, and the greatest of which was the restora-
tion of the BoueeoNs, who could not however,
he said, remain long all a Throne which was up-
held by foreign influence against the wishes of
the people. On my saying that the conduct of
the British Government•had been strictly con-
sistent with the interests of our Nation, and was
therefore not to be decried before me, he ex-
claimed " Eli bien,tious verrons, nous verrons; la
France a encore des moyens et les Anglais s'en
repentiront." fi I bete made sonic remark
on the indelicacy of his discourse, since be could
know nothing of my political sentiments ; and
that, if the British Government had done all the
harm' lie said, it was no reason why I, as one in-
.dividual, unconnected with that Government,
should hear the abuse of my Country. From the
tone in which this was spoken, he appeared
to suppose me rather friendly to his opinions,
and_ continued his observations without any
acrimony_ to me personally. The reign of the
Bourbons, was with him the chief topic of discOn-
tent, and thebanishment of the Emperor a cruel
exercise of British power: I ventured to say, that
as the
.Bourbons were now in quiet possession
of the.thtone, it would be wise to suppress his
opinions, ,as there might be danger in revealing
them, particularly, as thyre were no means of dis-
placing the reigning family. With much vehe-
mence, be replied " Jamais ! jamais ! NOUS EN
AURONS LBS MOYANS ! C'est moi qui vous le dig.
Je vons le rerete, NOUS EN aunoNs LES
mos efts !" Before he left the Coffee-house, he
told me that lie was a Colonel, just returned from
the C'han:p d'Azile, and was one of the persons
deemed worthy of the commiserrttion and assist.
ante of his fellow-countrymen. This conversa-
tion made but little impression upon meat the
time, as I- was daily in the habit of hearing vie•
lent language against the BouseoNs in the politi-
cal circles ; hut . the arrest of en individual, cor-
responding very much wi!h the description of my,
Coffee. house coUrpanion, has brought to my mind
very forcibly the exclamation, NOUS itti axioms
LES MOYENS.
