PARIS, AUGUST 25, 18/0.
Itiete I ant, and seated for the purpi:lB:4
*664 yoU a Letter:" We arrived here on grid
:daY the 18th, and oft Saturday 19th,. a p
discovered by :the Government, which, if it ha
not been so frustrated, might have involved 11
immediately in a scene of blood and.hoiror.
however remained• perfectly tranquil, and we t!a.,
no knowledge or suspicion of any such thing, t"1
it was announced by the public papers on qLI;
day, A few of the military, but particularly 0'
the regiment of illarthe, were concerned in it,
and
,the plan was to set fire to the Castle of Via'
cennes, and at the same time to seize the Thtlild
leries, and all the:Royal Family. Many person!
are, said to hare been apprehended as implicate",
in it ; and I have now before men paper, entitled
".Ordonnance'du Roi," which, according to the
Charter, refers the trial to the Chamber of Neil'
and commands the immediate attendance of the
Peers to proceed upon it.—Signed by the KIN.G`)
and. countersigned RICHELIEU.
While I am-writing, Paris presents a con-4)100,
contrast to all that might have been expected, IE7
the Conspirators had succeeded. All is gaieq.
and joy. The whole population of Paris seera9
:to be in motion ; and covers the gardens of the
Thaileries; the Champs Elisees, and all the avenues'
to them with innumerable walkers. Cannons brerl
fired at 8 in the morning, and again at 6 p.xt. and
illuminations and fire works are preparing
every quarter ; with all kinds of arriusemenl
gratis for the populace. For this is the feast o
St. Louii (Aug. 25), which, according to, the`
French customs, is kept in honour of the King ;
the day of his patron Saint, and not his owa
birth-day, a., we should do ; and this is the yell'
day on which the Conspirators had determined/
if they had not been prevented, to destroy the
King, , and overtturn the Government. But,
like our Cato-street Traitors they were betrayed
by an accomplice.
EVENING OF THE 2,5-rn.—l have just been O.
viewing the illuminations, which are splendid'
and in many parts beautiful. One of, the most,
striking is on the Hotel des Gerdes di Roi, or
posite to the, south side of the Mullet* Gardefih
on the other side of the Seine. It. consists of 3'
line of light, shewing the whole extent of the-
building, wit a brilliant sun in the centre,. high
above the building, and below it, in lamps, th',
oldmotto of Louis XIV. " Nec pluribus impart- ,
The star of. the Legion of Honour shines also in
brilliant light, very highly exalted, a little wal.
further. The Hotel des Deputes, opposite to the.
_Pont Louis. Seize, has its tine pediment and en'
tablature shewn in lamps, and the portico withia
brilliantly lighted, so as to shew the fine Corin"
thian columns, twelve in number, like Chinese
shadows. The .bridge in front of it is lighted at
the 'end, but covered across the whole river with
a preparation of grand fire-works. The great
road through the Champs Elisees, quite to 06
Barriere de Neuilly, near a mile in length, i 5
lighted with festoons_ of lamps from tree to tree(/'
and that, whole space covered with swarms 0. '
people moving, but no where in confusion. TO
Place de Louis XV. is architecturally
nated, (I mean so as to shew the chief lines of
the building), and has a beautiful effect.
But now for a very different matter.--,A'!
Amiens, in our way hither, we were surprisou
and ashamed to find an English orphan, of gell;
teal parentage, deserted, and left to the care all
voluntary benevolence of the mistress of the prim:
cipat hotel. The father came to Amiens about
fifteen-, months ago, or a little more, with a your 4
wife and one child. The wife lay in there of 3
second child, and died in consequence. The.
husband, after burying his wife, departed I.'r
India with his former child, and left the new'
born infant in the hands of strangers. The mistress
of the hotel in question, (which was not that
in
which the mother died), has maintained the chit'
with such aid as she could get by casual contri"
butions from English travellers ; and there it's'
at the age of 15 or 16 months, a helpless being'
destitute of all relations, and dependent only
the humanity of foreigners for' its chief supl) °,r _
This account I wish you to publish, because t 9;
child has very respectable relations, living in °I.,
of the best' Parts of London, who have been 0"
dressed by letter on the subject, but in 'OW'
The narnes,bowever, of all the parties are knooll;
and in-my possession, and shall certainly be InaulL
public, unless some interference is made, withle
a moderate time, in behalf of this poor
orphan.
P. S:—The fire-works on the Pont Louis XVIi,
were let off at nine o'clock in the evening, 01'"
were very magnificent. 'File crowd immense, tnic
quite orderly;
