/VTR KT OF A LETTER FROM PARVI, Ana. 7.
4‘• Accqr•ling to the letters o hich I have received,
the South appears to'be in a slate of anarchy. Geo.

the Protestants are at present the victims.; they lake
trfuge in the mountains of Cevennes, and are pure
weed by bands of Royalists, free cCmpanies without

Government of Paris has nothing to gore' n. The

under the King's windows. Lately a Royalist run
through the body a man, whom he supposed to have
cried Pies PEmpereur 1 but he was deceived; the
man who was wounded not haying opened his Month.
The Duchess d'Angouleme has been insulted. It it
surprising that the Allies of Kinrof France, who,
according to the opinion of the Duke of Wellington,
have 900,000 men in France, do not place 50,000
at the disposal of the•Kiug of France to do the duty

" The secret of the whole disorganized state of
things is, that the Kind is felt to be totally disquali-
fied for the exertions *hteh the state of things re-
quires, and the Costrt•itself is divided into two par..
ties—the King's Government, and the pure royalists.
The party for the return to the =den regime give
themselves this title: Monsieur sod the Duchess
of iingouleme are at their head—and the. plot is,
that Louis XVIII. should retire on account of his
infirmities. Monsieur also, who is become a devo-
tee, desires also to withdraw into private life—and
thus they clear the way Ur the Duke d'Angouleme,
who has been actually folloWed and termed Charles X.
in the South, where he has exercised royal power—
basing divilaced the King's Prefects and appointed
otisers—..received the eases, raised coutributiout--

recalled by the King to 'the metropolis, and has
obeyed. But the matter has come to the last extre-

the King will retire."

" You may have heerd much about Paris, but you
may rest assured that you've not heard too much.—
Such gaiety, such dissipation of manners, that you
W0..1d almost fancy you were in fairy land. The bu-
siness does not seem to be over yet, and whatever
be English Journals may represent, depend upon it
Louis has.not a very firm seat yet. I was at the
Chapel with him on Sunday last, and on his return
be showed himself at the balcony towards the Champs.
Elysees; the cries of Trine le Rof were very faint ;
some few indeed. The Duchess d'Angouletne is the
general favourite seemingly, but none of the Royal
Family art by any means popular. As present Paris.
iti filled with the troops of every nation in the world,
the Prussian Guards are the finest men I ever beheld,
the Saxon Dragoons are the general admiration. The
British, tlitypeople will tell you, are the most po.
pular, but I am sure it is the reverse, they secretly
blame st for all the cause of the late &inters. We
are likely I believe to move soon out of here. as the
British Army is expected to go to Normandy; the
head-quarters are to be at Amhuts."

I of the principle so recently proclaimed, of repecting
the Liberty of the Press—every printed Journal which
we bare received since the return of Louts, and the

egsotic Monarchs in France, has borne indubitable
tiwitimony to the degree of public liberty which their
Government has conferred. We hare, thereforoi
