"Admiral Du PRIME has advised Gen. Boy ItMONT to
spike the cannon of the marine, so soon as any appear-
ance of sedition is displayed in the town, so that our Beet
might soon get the advantage.
" The army appears to be in a very neglected state ; the
sick continue to increase, and many die daily. Every
one is very desirous of returning to France.

"Admiral DU I' ERRE wished the Der to go first of all
to France, where he would have obtained passports to
any other country."

PRIVATE LETTER.

PARIS Aus. 18.
On Monday the King, accompanied by M. Fontaine,
architect, visited the Louvre, and had a long conference
on the plan and means of completing that grand edifice.
It is said that a design, presented by M. Fontaine some
time ago, to hide the irregularities of the Louvre, by a
circular gallery in the Palace du Carrousel, will be exe-
cuted, and that orders will be speedily issued to corn-
inence the works. Yesterday the King transacted busi-
ness with the Ministers of War, Justice, the Marine,
and Foreign Affairs. His Majesty afterwards received
deputations from the Society of Agriculture, the Royal
Academy of Medicine, the Advocates of the Royal Courts
of Paris, the Professors and Pupils of the Royal College
of Henry IV. and the National Guards of Orleans, who
were joined by several officers of the line, and headed by
the deputies of their department.
On Monday the Keeper of the Seals went to the Palace
of the Chamber of Peers, for the purpose of depositing
among the archives of the chamber, the ordonnance of
the 13th inst. which determines the names and titles
which the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family
are to bear in future. This urdonnance was copied in
full on the registers of the civil state of the Royal Fa-
mily, and minutes were drawn up, to attest the deposit
and copy, in the presence of the Grand Refendary.
There was no sitting of the Chamber of Peers yester-
day. The Grand Refendary has availed himself of this
suspension of sittings, to cause the necessary alterations
to be made in the Hall, in order to admit the public, as at
the Chamber of Deputies. A gallery has been built
round the Hall; and two rows of benches afford room for
the accommodation of nearly 200 persons. The gallery
for the Journalists is on the left side of the gallery, and
every convenience will be afforded to them. The Editors
of Newspapers have an entrance separate from that of
the public ; and below the gallery are tribunes for the
Deputies, the Diplomatic Body, and the sons of Peers.
The Prefect of Police has issued the following notice :
" Evil-disposed persons, whose character and mission are
known, have to-day again endeavoured to excite dis-
turbances among the workmen ; but these brave men,
who well know that the maintenance of order is the only
means of preserving the benefits of their victory, have
every where rejected their offers with disdain, and ar-
rested six of them, who have been conducted to the Pre-
fecture of Police. The Prefect has examined them, and
found that three had been tried for robbery, and one had
already suffered the punishment of 12 years' imprisonment.
Such an example should suffice to put the workmen on their
guard against these agitators, sent among the people by
their enemies, who, enraged by their defeat, seek to re-
venge themselves upon their conquerors." Several impor-
tant regulations, calculated to pacify the apprehensions ex-
cited by the demands of the working classes, have been
made by the Government and the Municipal Council. All
public works are to be immediately resumed. A grant of
five millions of francs has been made by the government
to the city. This sum will be devoted to commencing
new works, as well as to carrying on those already begun,
and will employ a great number of labourers now idle.—
Amongst other works to be completed, is the triumphal
arch at the Barriere de l'Etoile, which is a great gigantic
building, and has had for some time a most ludicrous ap-
pearance, with only two or three masons employed ups
it. When I have asked the cause of so few being em-
ployed upon such a stupendous work, the masons have
shook their heads, and said, " that there was no money
to go on with it—all was swallowed up in the expedition
to Algiers !" A special committee has also been appointed
to confer with the principal manufacturers, as to the best
means of affording employment to the industrious who are
at present in great want of occupation : and, in order to
aid the National Guard and the troops of the line in main-
taining tranquillity and order, it is proposed to form a
new corps from among the citizens, to be specially charged
with the police of the city, and who will receive pay.
The Moniteur contait;i7TOTar Ordonnance, dated the
13th inst. appointing a commission of three members,
who are charged to take an exact account of all property,
moveable and immoveable, forming part of the civil list,
to provide for its preservation, and to limit all expenses
to such as are absolutely necessary for keeping it in re-
pair and condition. Count Montalivert, M. Schonen,
and M. Duvergier de Hauranne are the Commissioners.
The Commander of the first Military Division has
issued the following order :—" Conformably to the or-
ders of the Minister of War, the Lieutenant-General
commanding the First Military Division directs all officers
of every rank, who are now in Paris without legal autho-
risation, to retire to their respective homes, or join the
corps to which they severally belong. All officers who
have been dismissed, and have not their domicile in Paris,
will immediately retire to their respective departments,
unless they have permission from the Minister of War to
remain. In this case they will, within twenty-four hours,
present themselves at the head-quarters of the First Mili-
tary Division, No. 1, Rue de Lille, and there submit
to inspection their leave of absence or permissions."
On Monday the Court of Caseation held a sitting
for the purpose of its members taking the oath of fide-
lity to the King and the Constitutional Charter. Two
of its Members, M. Pardessus and M. Henri Lariviere,
gave in their resignation. When the Judges had
taken their seats, Monsieur Mourre, Procureur-Gene-
ral, rose and prefaced his oath by a speech, in which
he declared, that a Prince, whose noble qualities could
never be called in question—a Prince who had liberated
Greece, and put down the piracy that had infested Eu-
rope, humbled Kings, and afflicted Christianity—would,
in future history, fill an honourable page ; and that he
felt himself warranted in anticipating this just homage,
by expressing his grief for the misfortunes of Charles X.
After alluding to the late events, which the Procureur
attributed to the short-sightedness of Ministers, who had
mistaken fury for firmness, anti declaring that the na-
tion, having, by an immense majority, applauded the
change of dynasty, from which he was convinced hap-
piness would ensue, he called upon the Court to
administer the oath. The President, who abstained
from any declaration of his sentiments, then di-
rected the Officer of the Court to read the oath,
which was afterwards sworn by all the Members
present. Signs of disapprobation were shown when
Messrs. Avoine de Chanteriene and Rives took the oath.
M. Piet pronounced the words " I swear it," in so low a
tone that be could scarcely be heard. M. quequet
said, "In hatred to anarchy I swear it." M. Guichard,
