PRIVATE LETTER.—PARIS, AtlG.so.

I mull inform you of a moll extraordinary
aft committed by the Government of thiseountry.
Ydlerday a Commilttry of the Police entered all
the Cace.houfes of Paris, as well as the Camas
i.iarrairer (reading rooms), pulled out of his poc-
ket an order from the Prefeet to felze all the Eng-
lifh newfi:apers in their boufe, and at the fame
time prohibiting them from receiving any more,
or circulating them, on pain of imprifonment !I!
The lnfs Curtained by the Proprietors of the Read-
inz, Rooms is very conliderable, for they not only
la:: their curlorners, but abfolutely lofe their
mot cy which they have paid in advance in fub-
Iceihing for the Englilh papers. Such an arbitrary
proceeding requires no comment. But the
Yastkviiisusavers care very little about that or any
other aft of defpotifm.

" The angry article in the Mos:ismer was written
by the Fiasr Consul. himfelf. It is, however,
mud adroit to fay any thing about the execution of
Louts XVI. as it appears that the French Official
Jaarnal mull have good information from the
Second Conful, and the greateit part of the Se.
nators who were altive enough in that affair, and
it is therefore enough that they mutt have been
excited to it by Mr. PITT. The fame about burn-
in); Lyons. Foucita in that cafe Inuit alto have
given up the name of his employer.—Alas, poor
Ito, DIAIR I this mighty cameleon is likely to be
confined to the Cave of Oblivion ; his crime was
very great indeed; for inilead of reechoing the
nontinic of the lifouiteur, he willed to bring for-
ward a bantling of his own creating, and the day
after, in the
.79urn.71 de Paris of 25 Thermidor,
ROIEDERER poured forth the labour of his more,
and filmed to the world " the great rope.

"Whether the FIRST CONSUL was difpleafed that
RoLotRIR preferred this trails to his own trails, or
whether 13,1‘,.PARTI thought it an outrage on
commis; (cote, he Mired ROIDEELN to give up
his c. .nnc Lion with the Journal de Paris, which he
of ttbarfc immediately A& and he is for the pre-
lent out of favour. A day or two after there was
an article in the lame, whether BONAPARTE was
born •on elm day of the Holy Virgin or not ? a
vasiet-yl 01 arguments were adduced pro and cwt.
bormirtr, agreed that he was not born on
that day, but ma another Saint's day.

A Man of the name of FosTAIN, who was
to have.been &envi'sion the 18th Fruttidor, but

lived three or four pairs, is now the proprietor of
