PRIVATE LETTERS.

". Paris, Lawry H.
" All is at present apparently quiet ; but there is a
sort of tr.:m(ol.l4y which the persons who have been
conversant with the symptoms of the Revolution at
various periods think more alarming than.actual dis.
order. The Royalists are uniting themselves in dd.
fetent kinds of sneetiags, ostensibly for commisn pur-
poses, but in reality for that of consolidating their
strength to resist their opponents.. No secret is made
by several persons who belong to their association,
that their teal object is to keep down the disturbers
(kr ftsrlarbatearr). • there are irequent.orders vf ex-
witordinary sus vice to the National Guard, in conse-
quence of the dispatch of the militia), guard and
Bens d'armes on secret service.
" Taere are softie of the late pattilais of Bona-
parte, who, when asked what they suppose is the
cause of the existing alarm, openly declare their con-
viction that something is going on, though they do not
know what k is; and the z. aluus Royalists talk of the
existence bf a secret coospintey against the Govern.
ment, as a fact r•I rwhich theie is not the least doubt.
Scarcely a day passes without a search through Paris
by the Police. It cannot be for Lavahtte, who is
known to have escaped beyond the frontier.
" II such fears are entettained by the Government,
why, it in•ly be asked, do they send away the Allied
tro-ps from Paris ? The fact is, that the evening
hfure the Litt, counter-orders were given t. several
British regiments that were to march the next day.
The King personally was unwilling to trust himself,
at the present, to the French force in the capital ex•
elusively, and with good reason. The Britshregi-
m.lits, now in NOS and its vicinity, amount, as I
have been inforinyd, to no more than from four thou-
sand to five thousand men. But there are French
recruits arriving every day, consisting of disbanded
s••idiers and boys, in the most wretched posible con-
dition. The only corps that has a good appearance
is the mounted Royal Guard ; the men are as fine as
any I have ever seen, acid their uniform extremely
well calculated to make them appear to advantage%
They wear large boots, white breeches, blue jackets,
large dangling sabres, and high fur caps. But, like
the French cavalry at all times, they are wretchedly
mounted.

" lt• is not only the British troops in Paris that
hue received orders to remain, but even the regi-
ments already on their march from the neighbour.
hood of St. Germain and Versailles, have been or-
dered to halt. There are six regiments of the second
division halted near St. Denis, on their way to the
northern frontier.

«A violent outcry exists, I understand, among the
market women of Paris, in consequence of their ex.
elusion from the Thuilleris. The order is not direct,
but is virtually the same. It excludes all women
wearing handkerchiefs upon their heads, the usual
head dress of the women of the Halle. It has been
made in consequence of a wish expressed by the
Duchess of Angouleme. She cannot, and naturally
enough, behold, without horror, objects that remind
her of the outrages committed upon the Queen, her
mother, during the revolution. The mai ket women
who attacked the Palace, wore handkerchiefs in the
same manner, and all red. It is even still the favou-
rite colour."

Pakis, Unitary U.
14 It is now strongly reported that the British
troops are falling back upon Paris. Orders have been
given, in several of the villages about the capital, to
prepare for the English the quarters already occupied
by them. The month of January has been long
looked to by the Parisians as pregnant with some
extraordinary. event; any public occurrence of the
