PaIVATE LETTER.

We have been favoured this morning with the fol-
lowing interesting Letter from our regular Private
Correspondent at Paris :

" PARIS, JANUARY 13.
" For want of other elements of war, that of poli-
tics and opinions rages here in 612 utmost fury. The
Conservateur exhibits the dying groans and curses' of
the fallen Ultras. No terms of abuse are sufficiently

strong to characterize its hatred of constitutional
men and constitutional principles. In 18r5, we saw
its authors the most zealous defenders of the Charter,

of which they availed themselves precisely the same
way as tile Holy Inquisition does of the Christian
Religion. It was a double• edged sword and warrant
of vengeance; then there was no rust to be found on
the hinges of prison-doors, for they incessantly yawned
to receive numerous victims ; while the scaffold and
the gallies waited with impatience their large portion,
of which, in justice to the Conservaieur party, we
must say, they were never defrauded. The diffi-
culty of saving the victims of these defenders of the.
, Altar and th,t Throne has never hem duly appre-

dated. Had M. De Cazes retired from the Ministry,
we would not have hesitated to say, that it is to him
the country owes this triumph, in labouring inces-
santly, in concert with his Majesty, to establish peace
and tranquillity on firm foundations ; and consequently,
at this moment,Yinds XVIII. and M. De Cazes are
objects. of
.utter detestation to the Royalists, which
they do not even take the pains to disguise. Under
EA vex, therefore, we may thank his Majesty and his
'favourite Minister for the ultimate triumph of con-
stitutional principles. And only mark the compara-
tive result in 1815 and ISI7. The Royalists, (or, as
they now call themselves, illoaardsy men, quite as
foolish and more wicked than the ifih Monarchy
men a the lith century ht England,) held nearly all
the posts of Government, and we heard of nothing
but treasons, plots, stratagems, &c. which they dis •
covered against the Throne. As they were given
rope enough they soon hated therivelves, and
shewed that it was !ill their own invention. They
cried out 'lf the Allies go, France is ruined.' In their
acceptation of the word, France means themselves and
friends ; therefore, they were right : but they added,
a Revolution will take place. This was afah.e predic-
tient: France wants no Revolution—she is content
with her Constitution—and hopes, by shoving her
pacific disposition, to merit a still grea..er portion of
I:be:te. There therefore, only thf Ultras who
.:war a Revolution, and it is not to he dreaded from
them, fur the extent of their courage was well ascer-
tained in 1815. But if a still stronger proof were
wanting that the sole object of the nation is the strict
and simple execution of the Charter, we may alledge,
tha,. the Law fur the Suspe;lsion of the Liberty of the
P:Obi expired on the Ist-instant, and that the Press is
now free : and we appeal to the Ultras themselves,
whether even the journals or pa:nphlets have at-
tempted to abuse it ? Nt, •; nor will they, we are
persaaded. they have heretofore been vi:ilent,
itl
k bec:swe, twirl; resisted, thei ::ornetimes let passion
usurp the place of reason.
" From the wise measures swirl to he tlie intention
of the Ilea? Minister of the Interior to adopt, we may
argue that the 19th tenon y spill have its Colbert,
and that Louis X Vill. will not he le.:s foitunate in
his Minister than his great ancestor."

bayonets. Several of them were dangerously woun-
ded. Some were apprehended, and committed to
Maidstone jail.
The late Dr. WoLcor, it seems, expressed an earnest
