PRIVATE LETTAIi.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY E% ENlNa.—Last night the same exhibition
was continued in different coulters of this city which I described to you
in my preceding letter. In the faubourgs, groups of people of the dais
of unemployed workmen, paraded with tri-coloured ihanting the
blarseillois Hymn, and making grotesque and fantastic gestures, as well
as inviting others to join in their movements. A few individuals of there
parties, bearing flags, entered the Palais Royal about 8 o'c,ock, when
several citizens remonstrated with them upon the tendency of such pro-
ceedings, however well meant, and said that the people had already
shown their strength and their moderation, and that every good man
should now see the necessity of leaving public measures in the hands of
the Government and the laws. These citizens added, that all crowds now
tended to interrupt and compromise the public tranquillity, anal that no
patriot could encourage them. A few members of the National Guard
from the Court of the Orleans (now the Kings Palace) were at this
time parading through the walks of the Palais Royal. I observed that
they interfered in like manner, violently though firmly, with these flag.
bearers. They only wore side arms, and it was curious to see the ani-
mated motions of the respective parties; the people insisting upon their
right to move as they pleased, and the soldiers as vehement that they
must exercise buck right elsewhere, for that from the Basis they
must decamp, rout de guile. Compliance was at length obtained to
this order, but not before two era:lnv, who harangued against it, were
safely and quietly marched by two of the guards to the hall of the
Palace, where they were kept a Omit time, and afterwards discharged
(as I heard, for I did not remain the whole time), when their energies
had cooled by exhaustion. At ten o'clock, however, a body of about
sixty, principally composed of young men and boys of the humblest
class in life, as I should presume from their personal appearance,
marched through the Petals Royal, preceded by the tri-coloured flag,
and singing the Marseillois Hymn. I was surprised to find that the
were allowed to pass unmolested ; they moved, however, at a quick
pace, and merely crossed once on a line with' the colonnade. These
groups of people were, as 1 am informed, armed in sans other parts of

the town, many of them wearing swords and pistols ; there were none!
with alms last night in the PalMs Royal ; nor do I attach any impor-
tance to these evolutions. There arc large numbers of people at present
unemployed in this city, and the buoyancea of the national character, and
tumultuous joy of many of them who participated in the late combat,
almost necessarily pomp such ebullitions ; the Government is not yet
sufficiently consolidated to command that attention from the people, a hich
will alone absorb their thoughts, and turn them away from these frivolous
propensities. In one place, near the Bourse last night, I saw a.
juggler on the pavement playing a violin, and delighting a group ni
people; just next him was another tittle in which a group were dancing
a quadrille about an odd looking fellow, who was waving a tricoloured'
flag, and shouting some deggtel verres about Charles X. and the
Bishop of Paris ; but, really, the one class of people seemed as joy-
ously entertained with the conjuror as their compatriots with the flag of
liberty. I mention these things,which occurred under my own eye,
to show that there is no great danger impending from these popular ap-
pearances, although they do not, evidently, express a very sound con-
dition of society. I mentioned to you yesterday that the government
find they must put ds Polignac upon his trial; but there is
every wish, as well as hope, he will be only punished by exile
—the penalty he was about to iifiict upon himself. If, how-
ever, the people should. under any untoward impulse, unite these
fermented masses, of which I have spoken, there is an apprehension that
the result of the trial of this ex-Minister may be otherwise, as he is
sadly implie,ted in the military movement against the Parisians.
Marmount was merely the executive soldier. The orders came from M.
de Polignae, whose reception r.f the Deputies, who sought to revoke the
fatal ordinances, is ruttembered much to his disadvantage. It is just to
the new Government to mention, that every attention isdirected to be paid
the prisoner,consistent with his safe conduct,as well as may facility for his
defence: his lady, who is far advanced In pregnancy, is at her country seat,
with her children--he is allowed to communicate by open letters with
his friends, and to teccivc every thing connected with his personal comfort.
It is expected that he will be brought to Paris by night at the end of this
week : he attempts to tally at times, but his spirits are mostly de-
presased to a degree which bespeaks unusual feebleness of character,
and be is very apprehensive of being sacrificed by popular violence. lie
ought not have to these fears ; for the people, now that the trial is de-
termined upon, await the result with suitable confidence in the tribunals.
I saw the King at nine o'clock this morning walking upon the terrace
near his house, over the colonnade of the Palais Royal. He was plainly
dressed, and wore a white hat; his attention seemed to be entirely di-
rected to a new edifice, which his architect is erecting at the corner of
this part of the building. His Mrjesty had a full Council of Minis-
ters this day, which sat for several hours in the Palais. It is said that
tite King is most urgent that not a day should be lost in progressing
through the Chambers the law for abolishing the penalty of death ; but
the deputies are much occupied still with tile essential election formali-
ties, which cannot be dispensed with.— Times.
