PARIS, MARCH 26.

The Government has just granted 2,000 francs to
Spaniards who have taken refuge at Toulouse, to be
distributed in the first place to the most indigent fit-
Indies. There was a report in that city on,the 19th,
which seemed to gain credit the rc,.t day, thAt 'some
A filicianos, united with some Spubh Custom-House
Officers of Puycerda, took advantage of the moment
when the Mayor of Tour de Carol and an Officer
were on the frontiers, regulating some affairs relative
to the posts, to arrest them and keep them as hostages.
This strange news must soon be cleared up. It is
supposed that they will be immediately set at liberty,
when some explanation is made.
This morning the Bureau of the Chamber of Peers,
introduced by M. Corbiere, Minister of the Interior,
bad the honour to present to the King the Project of
Law relative to the Press.

Some Piedmontese, who took a distinguished part
in the troubles of Piedmont last year, were arrested
yesterday at Paris, where they have resided some
time under false names.

Accounts from Rochelle, of the 21st March, say—
" Fur some time past it has been observed that several
subaltern Officers lived in a manner too expensive to
be within the limits of their means, and this circum-
stance caused them to be particularly watched.—
Songs of seduction, joined to the propagation c.f some
Rasmus falsehoods, had so exalted their imagina-
tions, that they could no longer disguise their hor-
rible hopes. The 20th or 21st of March had been
chosen by them to hoist what our Liberals call the
old standard. In the morning of the 19th, the prin-
&pal Authorities were informed of the approaching
execution of the plot. The Marquis de Toustain,
Colonel of the 45th Regiment, received, besides, the
communication of one of the conspirators, 'hose
heart revolted at the idra of the bloody scenes which
were to accompany execution. It is thought
that more were concerned, but fourteen subaltern
Officers have been arrested."

EXTRACT OP A LETTER PROM ROCHELLE, MARCH 22.
" The call made to ' the energy and patriotism' of the revo-
lutionists, has had its effect upon some of the soldiers of the 45th
Regiment, which recently arrived here. It was remarked, that
several of the Nomeemmissioned Olken expended money be-
yond their means; this, added to the propagation of some infa-
mous songs, put nor pollee on the alert, and their guilty projects
were detected. Yesterday had been appointed by them for hoist-
ing the tri-coloured banner. On the 19th, the General of the
Division, the Colonel of the 45th, and the Principal Authorities,
concerted their plan for taking these traitors into custody. At nine
o'clock on the evening of that day, eleven of the Nomeocrunis
stoned Olken were seized in the barracks, and three others on
the following day. They were all provided with poniards and
cartridges; several pamphlets and seditious songs were also found
upon them. From the emtfesdon amens who were implicated,
it appears that it had been agreed amongst them to cut-the throats
of most of the Officers, and of the principal Civil and Military
Authorities, and take possession of the arsenal, in which are
30,900 muskets, and a quantity of ammunition."
Letters from the neighbourhood of Agen state,
that there are circulated in that quarter, Bulletins
of the victories gained 61/ General Berthon, at the
head of 20,000 men, and detailing the triumphant
progress of this rebel. These fabricated documents
add, that discontent is universal, and that Paris is
in full revolution.
French Funds, March 26—Five per Cents 89. f. 80'c,
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED
MARCH 26.
a No one but a person who has been long resident
in Paris, can judge of the state of public Ebeling at
this moment in the capital. The Ministers are de-
idedly unpopular, and yet there is scarcely any pro.
ble change that would be acceptable ; and notwith-
Wing the ebullition of feeling by the students, yet
is cettain that the great body of the people are
aching in sullenness, though not with indifference,
sonic important change. The silence that is ob-

.


served might be mistaken•for absolute indifference,'
did not every mention of a new plot against the Go-1
verument, however remote or however feeble, excite at
once the most marked emotion and anxiety through-
out Paris. Three years ago, the French would con-
verse freely on politics, and on the acts of the Ministry;
now they either observe a rigid silence, or speak with
that suspicious caution and reserve, which the con-
stant dread of espionage alone could have induced.
44 The Public Journalists, though relieved from the
Censorship, are by the new law placed so entirely at
the mercy of the Ministers, that they tremble at
every sentence they write lest it should give offence;
and that when a few obnoxious paragraphs had ap-
peared, they might be brought up and accused of
writing a series of articles against the Government
which would subject their Journal to suspension at
the will of the Conn Royales.
" But notwithstanding the restraint and the peril
to which the Journals are subjected, yet it is found
impossible entirely to conceal those ebullitions of
popular discontent which are almost every day taking
place in sortie of the Provinces. These, though con-
cealed in the Papers, are exaggerated in the streets
and reports are succeeding each other continually of
insurrections, conspiracies, and seditious cries. The
affair of General Berthon was neither so contempti-
ble as the fears of the Government, nor so formidable
as the wishes of others represented it. The General
*as said, in the Ministerial Papers, to have had only
about fifty men; and yet more than a hundred of his
pretended Associates have been arrested.
"It is generally believed in Paris that the General
is not cooped up in a wood, as has been stated, but
that he is actually engaged in forming some new
project that may be more successful, though scarcely
less daring, than that of Saumur. For some days,
however, even rumour has been silent respecting him.
s 4 Much surprise is exprrzsed that the South of
France, particularly LaVendee, so long the only rally-
ing point of the Bourbons, should now be the prin-
cipal seat of disaffection ; but the fact is, that the old
race of Vendeans are nearly extinct, and such as have
survived the ravages of the Revolution and the wreck
of time, are so bigoted and so aristocratical that they
excite universal hatred and disgust. These men want
not only to bring France back to its political and
religious state previous to the Revolution, and thus
make the mind retrograde, but they with also to restore
property to its former state, and to recover estates
which have changed proprietors a dozen times before
they came into the hands of the present possessors,
who had purchased them fairly and honourably. In
vain are complaints forwarded to Louis XVIII. for,
while he and his Ministers appear to discountenance,
they in fact connive at, the proceedings of these Ultra.
Royalists of the amine regime.
" Notwithstanding the care that has been taken to

constitute a Royalist Army, by introducing new re-
cruits, and superseding old Officers, yet the French
military entertain no affection for the Bourbons;—
hence, wherever there is any plot or tumult, the sok
diers are sure to share in it. At Rochelle a plot had
been formed, in the 45th Regiment, for seizing the
arsenal there, and hoisting the tri-coloured standard;
but the General of Division, having got intelligence
of the project, seized some of the ringleaders. At a
village near Chauny, in the department of the Aisne,
a disposition to revolt has manifested itself. A band
of 40 men entered the town about nine at night,
and set fire to the Mayor's house, and several others,
amidst cries of Liberty l' and Napoleon 11. !'—
The whole village would have fallen a prey to the
flames, had it not been for the speedy arrival of a
body of the National Guard and some other troops
from Chauny. The insurgents were dispersed, and
several arrested, among whom was oneperson who had
formerly held an office of considerable importance.
44 The law for repressing offences of the Press re-
ceived the sanction of his Majesty yesterday, and was
this morning published in the form of a Royal Or-
donnanes. With its provisions you must have become
well acquainted during its lengthened discussion in
the two Chambers. Its abolition of the Trial by
Jury, and transferring the cognizance of all offences
of the Press to a Tribunal appointed by the Crown,
are its most objectionable features."

A Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the 14th inst.
had been received. The account of the disturbances
at Rio Janeiro have been ofbially communicated to
the Cortes. The following are extracts:

LISBON MARCH 13.
SITTING OP THZ CORTES OP FEBRUARY 28.

An account was communicated to the Cortes,
brought by the Portuguese brig Marquis de Cascaes,
in 66 days from Bahia : the Captain said that all was
tranquil at Bahia, though there were reasons to be-
lieve that the advocates of Independence were nu-
merous, but they were restrained by the opinion of
the greater and better part of the citizens, and watched
by the Government.

In the Sitting of the '7th of March, the Secretary
of State read several dispatches from the Provisional
Junta of Pernambuco, of the 2d, 17th, and 18th of
January : they mention the landing of the expedition
in that port : they give a description of the wretched
state of the finances of that province, and the reme-
dies that have been adopted for the present, &c.
In the Sitting of the Bth, a letter from the Prince
Royal, of the 12th December, was read. His Royal
Highness mentions the receipt of various Decrees
from Portugal, which he communicated to the Minis-
ters: he states his intention of returning to Europe
as soon as the Provisional Juntas are formed, as his
