FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
" PARIS, MAY 6.

There is an old Proverb which says, that g what
is one man's meat is another man's poison,'—what in
England has been found attended with the greatest
benefits, is in France likely to be productive of the
greatest evils. It is the glory of the reign of George
111. that the Judges were made for life, and therefore
independent of the Crown and all-undue influence.—'
It was the misfortune of Louis XVIII. that he imi-'
tated us herein ; for in 1814 he rendered Three Thou-
sand Judges, and consequently all the Tribunals of ,
the Kingdom, independent of himself and his Go-
vernment : and all of these Judges,. being at the pe-
riod of the restoration chosen from amongst the pure
Ultras by Messieurs Blacas and Co. the consequences
cannot hut be evil zo the prospects of France for a
long periol to come.
" It is extremely difficult to bring Ultra criminals
to justice. What could the Government do at Lyons,
with all the proofs of a foul Ultra conspiracy in its
hands? The Prevotal Court condemned to death
the victims,its agents ensnared, mid the Royal Court
of Paris has convicted of a libel those,who dared to
publish the fearful truths, even though they were
published under the sat)ction, and perhaps even by
the command. of Government. To this hour the
assassins of Mirshal Brune stalk about with impunity.
Treitaillon basis of his murders. In the South, a,
Jury cannot be found to convict, nor a witness to
give evidence against an Ultra assassin. This is no
loose assertion hazarded at random : it is the 'very
expression of the Minister of Justice himself. Here
then is the strong-hold of the Ultras: under the aegis
of the Tribunals othel burn, destroy, and massacre
with linpunity ; and, if an indignant Citizen shall
dare tit drag their crimes before the face of day, be
must ucidrespitimse4f to an Ultra Tribunal, who may

" Some important change warble socai e!pected;'
not in the Ministry, but stink it ecAual, and per-
baps greater importance, in tilt ers,apppintsd
by them. Government has, it./elede>>oood, had a'
very accurate, inquiry made, fro* which it appears,'
that five-eighths of the Civil Audio:titles, eight-tenths
of the Judicial Authorities; a 4 ifioetrnine
dredths of the. Clergy, are envoi' es to Gpveinmeat.
It is on this force that the Ultras count, if they suc-
ceed in their attempts to overturn the Governeent.
To oppcse it there is the great masi of the nation, all.
the trading and manufacturing interests, and THE.
Maly. Thus; on the one side, are Prefects to arrest;
Judges to condemn, and Priests to anathematize.,
On the other, both the moral 'and physical strength
of the nation, with the King and the Ministers at
its head ; hehce'should, as the Ultras threaten, the
nutter come to issue, we need r.o ghost to tell us,
the resuk.

viz that his health- avas.feeb**.but they .knEw the
,King never dies. The G caged of this thorning
disproves the assertion as that. of the King, and very
properly adds, were it even true we have the con-
solation of knowing, that the Charter will possess the
(same happy longevity:

4' The English who come to Paris should be aware
of impostors, who go about as interpreters, recom-
mend tradesmen, servants, &c. They are all cheats,
and live by robbery. The least evil you can suffer
from them is having to pay at least JO per cent. above
its value for every thing, and sometimes even SO per
cent. and upwards. They receive a large premium
from the seller, and to merit it assist him to rob the
purchaser, by assuring him the thing is exceedingly
cheap."
