PRIVATE LE rrF.R.

" l'aris, September 30.
is The state of Paris was yesterday ustusualiy alar-
ming. At an early hour in the morning, some Prus-
sian soldiers, With a lew French labourers, began to
erect scaffolding at the triumphal arch in the Place
de Carousal, upon which are placed the celebrated
horses, supposed to be the workmanship of Lysippus.
When they had proceeded so far as ,o make it evi-
dent that their intention was to take down these
horses, a national guard on duty at the gate desired
them to desist :Alley persisted, and went so far as to
take off the bridle. In a few_ moments a consider-
able number of the national guards came from their
guard-house to support the sentinel, and compel the
workmen to desist. The Prussian officer who was
present did not think it proper to resist the national
guard withont further orders, and nothing more was
done during the day.
“ An immense crowd of men and women was
soon assembled in the Place de Carousal, and conti-
nued there during the entire day. No attempt WAS
' made by the Police to disperse them; but a few
mounted gens d'armes rode amongst them during the
whole day, in order to prevent them from engaging in
acts of violence, which they would probably have
done if they had been allowed fo form themselves
into a body, and communicate freely. It is a curious
circumstance, that in every popular assemblage in
the streets in Paris, there are always a number of
orators, who have each his groupe Listening with the
strictest order and attention : when one pt the police
appears, the orator is instantly silent, and• assumes
an air of the most perfect sang froid ; at this moment
it is easy to see how well he and his auditors under.
stand each mint. There were crowds assembled du-
ring the day also along the quays; they talked of no.
thing but violenCe and vengeance; they talked of a
massacre of their enemies, without the least reserve;
they justify it, by sa; lag they are reduced to such a
state as to be left no other hope. It is certain that
both the French Government and the Allies think the
present a moment of public danger. There is an en-
tire division of British troops under arms every night
in the Bois de Boulogne. Crowds of persons, amoun-
ting to several thousands, were found assembled near
the Bois de Boulogne the day before yesterday ; they
r were unarmed, and appeared assembled for some po-
litical purpose; the British outposts dispersed them.
They are supposed to have been discharged officers
and soldiers of the army of the Loire. A consider.
able number of English are gone away from Paris,
many of whom were influenced by the present state
of public affairs.
14 There is something so frivolous and Auctuating
in the character of the French
.people, that it is dia.
cult to form a satisfactory opinion as to what they
are likely to do; at one moment they appear in a
state of such violent excitement, they lament the ca.
lamjties of their country with 443 much feeling, iad

they deem* vessgeosee in terms so open and to
apparently determined, that a person would suppoc.,
at that instant, that before many hours had pe,std
the whole capital would be in a state of general is.
surrection ; the very next day, particularly if it b,
Sunday, and about two o'clock (the hour at which,
they cease to labour for the purpose of amilky
themselves), he sees in them so much frivolity,
ishness, and dissipation, that he wouldrtonpunct
them incapable of holding a place amongthe nation
of Europe. The poorer classes, with their wives zr.,:
children, are universally sitting outside their d(k.rr
playing cards and drinking brandy ; and the I,c.tto,
classes, in the public walks and at the public prd..ns
dancing, drinking, singing, laughing, and i•ittulgity
in every possible mode of dissipating their lives :
seen under this aspect, one would pronounce them to
only to be dancers, dog-leaders, jesters, and
makers to the other nations that surround then). •

" I just Cad that the Austrians' are taking do;‘,,
the bronze horses from the Arch. The wI,,G (.04„
of the Thuilleiies, and the Place de Carousel, au
filled with Austrian infantry and cavalry un:ler arms,
no person is allowed to approach; the troops on yilArt
amount to several thousands ; there are crowd, o•
French in all the avenues leading to it, who give vv.,
to their feelings by shouts and execr.itions ; iliCee 1'
sot a single gans.d'arme cir notional gu IrJ on tht
spot, and the Austrians, it appears, dun't think j:

has been increased.

" There is in circulation here a letter, in man%
script, addressed by the Duke of Wellington to lArd
CAstlereagh, justifying the removal of the p;c:uret
and statues, and declaring that this sv.,s expressly dc.
dared to have been the intention of the
not expressed in the convention. The treaty of pent
is not yet signed, I have been told by a pers"n of
some authority, that there are important dittictutki
still to be removed, and that this is the King's rcas.:
postponing the opening of the Chambers."

STATE OF THE NEGOCIATIONS ON IHE TENT::

OF SEPTEMBER.

The discussions which have been opened in Par
respecting the future pacific relations of Eurnpe, icil;
soon approach their close ; though it would .i?ree
as if their result was not likely to be such as tht
German people with right and reason expecte.;
Germany now stands not as sae 'tome! in u tht
very centie of the force raised against Fiance ;
the sword lo is btzeo returned to the scabbard, shel.i
in council with the others, removed from the celar,
to the circum:erence ; and as every ow., works .4:14
counterwurks on his own bottom, that centre wi::
not be eiiablished which Justice, which nature, and
recent events require, but some artificial centre which
falls out of the true point of grayity, and which will
not permit the excited age to enjoy tranquillity.
The spirit waken the Germans have displayed, the
exploits they have performed, and the energy with
which they finished the war, before the others were
aware of its commencement, have excited much te.

met jealousy. Germany jay for centuries so comt,
nient to all, a son of Senile meadow, into %111:1;
every one could drive his cattle as into a common,
that they feel disappointed should they now be es•
chided.

Tile dependence of a country which fought for
but always stood.in need of assistance, was too ;Li%
.teeing and advantagta. is. for the feelings and err.
twos for complete inarasenaie,,ce which have he=
there excited, not to be hated uy those who deri;:e
gain from her previous nthery. The feeling of sei:.
confidence which we have acquired is peculiarly d:s.
agreeable to such persons; and the valorous and trix
sport which his especially displayed itself in the
Pr
Prussian A
army, they could almost complain ot
spirit of insolence and mutiny, that they might
some apparent pretext for publicly manifesting th.:
jealousy, of which they must be ashamed.
Russia and England have especially put them
selves forward as the opposers ot our claim;.
not the true policy of Russia, witich entirely tur.:
upon her domestic affairs, that enters the lists main:
us, but a false grovelling policy, which of Litt: years
has pervaded all cabinets, and has deceived ail
them in their turn with dreams of power and a4gran•
dizement. To the personal dislike of the Prince
our race and manners, are to be added, motives
another kind, proceeding, as last, year, from a sort a
magnanimitz, and from a pious wish to win over vie
French to religion, order, and justice. Two hetet°.
geneous elements in the cabinet, and in the imperial
person, have united to lay the foundation of Russixt
opposition to our views,
With regard to England, it cannot be supposed that
the policy of her present Minister, to supp..rt France
at the expence of Germany, is in the least degree sane
tioned by the public opinion of that island. As is
recent tunes, cabinets have too often set thenbelvl
in opposition to the people, and with wicked an.
vity proceeded in their own course, so has it beta
England, where this discordance has manitested itsell,
especially since the great revolution of things on tae

comparably better than their Ministers.
How Lord Castlereagh conducted himself in the.
last year's negotiations at Paris, what hesitation Ana
indecision be displayed at the Congress, how weskif
he defended himself against the strong attacks at
flu
opposition, is known to all. The English Immo
already speak clearly of the marked deviation ot
lie opinion in that country from his views, which tot

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FR'M A PERSON Of flloll RANK

AT PARIS, DATKD SEP IEACNIt 26 AND '27..

66 The recent revolut,on in the French' Ministry
will rather accelerate than Avert that nixl of strength
between the opposing parties, which, sooner or later,
mast probably have Luken place. You ate deceived
in imigining that there waa any difference of senti•
MCA between TALI.F.V It AND and FOUCH C with regard
to their continuing in office. TALLevitetsp had often
complained, that the KING lia:1 made him responsibl:
14 acts of Government, on which he had never been
eon,ulied.

• Trey bi th joined in complaining that they were
the objects 01 open haled and violence to a faction
composed his Majesty's particular favourites and
friends ; and as it, was esseatiAlly necessary towards
carrying on the Uovernment. that they should ascer-
tain, before the meeting of the Legislature, how far
they might reckon on the limo's confidence and
support, TaLLevnattn is said to have put the ques-
tion to his Majesty, whether he would insist on the
Princes of his family co-nperating in the system
doptcd by his Ministers ; and likewise, whether his
Majesty would concede to him certain other peints
indisperiSable to the existence of his Administration'
.refusing them, permit the present Cabinet to
resign The KING chose the latter alternative;
and TALLYTHAND and Foetal gave in their resigna.,
tions. It had been prs.viously the wish of these
Ministers to make the Duke of WELLINGTON and
Lord Camenuarnt mediators between thin) and the
King ; and if the King's piomptitude, in taking them
at their word, had not obviated such an interposition,
it is consitiered very probablei that some temporary
compromise might have been, a second time, effected
under the same auspices. Of this you maybe sure,
that the Noble Duke has expressed his unequivocal
repugnance to the change of Ministers, which is ex.
elusively the work of the Royalist party.
• The King has been encouraged by many circum.
stances to give himself up more freely than he thought
it sale to do, at list, to the pressing tepresentatiuns
of that body ; as a tew weeks ago, he would not have
ventured ►o accept the alternative proposed on this
occasion by M. Talleyrand. In the firs place. the
animosity of the Parisians against the Allies, and
their proteges, the Bourbon family; have sensibly
sdbsided sive& the departure of the Prussians.
• Theri,. the returns to the Corps Legislatif have
contained a large proportion of friends to the existing
government —the disbanding of the army has been
effecieJ with unlooked-for ease—tnany of the for-
tresses hate surrendered to the Allies—the royalist
army has been ori!anised, otficeted: and greatly aug.
meated—and last of all Lunar/tact is known to be
in safe keeping.
•• These considerations, taken ►ogether, hare given
Louta a conteiou,s,ess of his own surngth, which did
not exist in the formation cf the late Cabinet ; and
the triumph of the Royalists scvnis complete."
