FRENCH PAPER&

PARIS, MARCH t 6. '

The Dale states, that in consequence of the arrest
of General Piat, keveral compromised individuals
have been arrested, by superior orders. 'l4inong the
number is Colonel Sauset, who was travelling on the
top of a stage-coach, in which were the Aides-de•
Camp of the Duke of Reggio. the same paper
Rates, That one of the companions of General Piat is
a M. BAilon, who,during the conspiracy of the Bazar,
made a journey to Vitry, with M. Sauset. We also
End it stated in the Etoile, that three enbaucheurs
(kidnappers or decoyers of the troops) have been ar-
rested at Bayonne ; and that six battalions and three
squadrons of the Royal Guards are to set out between
the Ist and the sth for that town.

It will be recollected that General Sarrazin,
after obtaining the remission of the sentence to which
he was condemned for bigamy, embarked at Ant.-1
werp, for Portugal, on board of a merchantman, in
which was also shipped a certain number of chests of
arms. It is now said that General Swazis is among
the number of persona who have ranged themselves
under the standard of the Marquis of Amarante.
The Madrid Universal has, however. announceilthe
complete defeat of Amarante, at the passage: of a
river.—Journal du Commerce.
'Reports of an extraordinary nature were circulated
yesterday in Paris. A conspiracy was spoken of, the
ramifications of which were very extensive; but we
must distrust rumours which are founded only on
conjecture. The precipitate departure af the Minister
of War has perhaps given them origin. It is also
said that several Superior Officers have been arreited,
and amongst others Colonel Sausset. It is added,
that General Molitor is recalled. This is Certain, that
great public anxiety prevails, and that official com-
munications which may clear up all doubts, are im-
patiently expected. •
We ate, moreover, assured that there is a decided
division in the Ministry, and that the situation of M.
de Villele becomes daily more and mete difficult. It
is not easy to say what unforeseen inconveniences
may ariscout of the state of things in which France is.
involved. All eyes are turned towards the Monarch
who could, with a word, revive every hope, and put
an end to a system' the fatal effects of which we now
experience.—Conslitirtionnel.

The Etoile of yesterday evening, announces that
the arrest of the six travellers in the Bourdeaux dili-
gence has been fullowed by that of several other per-
sons. It is now reported that some Officers, who are
with the army, have also been arrested, and that se-
veral Genetal Officers who have served in the old
army, have been recalled 'front the eenvesen.ie so
which they had been appointed in the corps of the
army of the Pyrennees. The p-recipitate departure
of the Duke of. Belluno- appears to have given credit
to these reports. The Duke of Belluno is accom-
panied by M. de La Maison-Fort, an officer of the
King's household, who had seen -ordered to make a
tour along the whole line on st hid' our troops are
stationed, and who had retutneJ to Paris to give an I'
account of his mission.—Courier Francais.

MM. Bignon George Lafayette K=l:fin, and
Voyer d'Argenson, Deputies of the Upper Rhine,
have addressed to their Constituents a letter, dated
March 18, in which they declare the motives that
have determined them to take no more part in the dis-
cussions of the Chamber of Deputies.
It is certain that Juanito, one of the firmest sup-
porters of the Royal cause, has formally refused, in
the name of his troops, to continue to serve, if the
French troops enter Spain, and that if they do, he
will turn his arms against them.
The A„ fiches of Bayonne contains the following :
Bayonne, March 18.
di The Mayor of the town of Bayonne hastens to inform the
inhabitants of a letter he has received from the Lieutenant of
the King. Commandant of the place. It is as folksy,:
I have the honour to inform you, that it is ckstomary for
the Royal Guard always to have their arms loaded; and I beg
of you to inform your fellow-citizens, that at the thirst cry of
Qut ease ? without an answer, they will fir& -
..The Mayor cannot too earnestly recommend the citizens
to pay attention to this important notice, iu order to prevent the
evils which may follow from negligence."

The Due de l3elluno sets out to-daj to act as Major-
' General under the Doc d'Angoultstio. He has left
every thing in theutmost confusion at the War De-
partment, end -yet be is seat to assist and counsel a
Prince that has no experience or aptitude for the
matter he has now in hand. It is said that the Ultras
have declared to M. de Villele that they will not vote
the Budget of 1824 until the sound of the French can-
non has been heard in Spain; so that the wily Mi-
nister is new Finished hard to his last shift. He must
consequently either begin the war, dose the Session,
or go out. The first of them,it is thought, be will risk,
as he may then, after having got his Budget and closed
the Session, hope to make peace through the mediation
of England after a month's hostilities, which can be but
of little injury to Spain, seeing the unfit state in which
the army (both men ind,horses) is to push a vigorous
campaign. It is said
_that he is not a little alarmed
at Mr. Cant' g's intention of laying before Parlia-
ment the official papers relative to the interference of
the English Ministers. There is scarcely a depart-
ment in which a subscription has not been set on foot
to compliment Manuel and recompense Serjeant Mer-
cier, who will probably, in a very short time, find
himself richer by a hundred or a hundred and fifty
thousand francs. It is said the Paris subscription al-
-1 ready amounts to fifty thousand francs. The spirit
of the National Guard may be said 'to be estranged
throughout France from the B—. Some days back
a gendarme charged a group of workmen in the.rue
St. Dealt, who were crying Vive la pair : he was itn-
medMtely dragged off his horse, and massacred. The
police have heed most anxious to conceal this alarm-
ing as it proves that the lower classes are
not so indifferent or spiritless as it is the fashion to re-
present them:"
