PARIS, DEC. 4.

EXTRACT or A LATTER.
44 An affair of a very disagreeable nature has just
transpired. The King had signified his intention of
going to the Odian on Thursday evening. The Dec
`d'Aumont, as usual, engaged all the places in the
lower side-boxes, which he distributed to the French
Nobility and foreigners of rank: Hilt an hear pre,
- the departure of his Majesty from the
Marmont, one of the Captains of his
service that day, disclosed to him the de.
of the most odious conspiracies that the
fertile in atrocities, has yet produced.

Leery necessary precaution was taken—the streets

diem, and a regiment of Cuirassiers followed them.
-The Garde-.du Corps were in readiness all night, and
not less thou 20,000 men were under arms. Nv.
menses arreetatioes have since taken place, and it is
suppOsed mach publicity will be given to the pro..
ceedings. S—b—t—i, E—1—s, and other discon-
tented Officers, are said to be implicated. In the
mean time the King, accompanied by the Duchess
d'Augouleme, le Comte d'Artois, and the Due de
Berri graced the magnificent box prepared for them,
opposite the stage. I had the advantage of being ex-
ceedingly near the Royal Family. The affair had not
been then divulged to the public. The shouts of 'Five
le Roi ! rive Monsieur !' re-echoed from all parts of
the house, and his Majesty acknowledged them with
many cordial salutatious and the mile of unaffected
'goodness. The nearest boxes on either side were
filled with Officers of his Guard. The Duke et
Orleans was in the box immediately adjoining,si
and the. Duke of Wellington in the one oppo-1
site. It was observed his Majesty bowed gracious-
ly to him. Many English Guiles were present. Some
aged matrons, most fashionably decolletecs, excited
the attention, I had almost said the risibility, of the
Douse, but fortunately for them, their eyes were di- ,
vetted by the arrival of the youeg and beautiful Lady
Ponsouby, whose dress was as. decorous as her
charms were resistless. It was not without difficulty
some of the graver and More ceremonious part of the
audience, mindful of the solemnity of the occasion,
succeeded in hushing murmurs of approbation, which
were arisingfrom every quarter. The Duke f Wel•
lington was the only Officer of rank out of uniform.i
He was dressed, as he geperally is, in a plain coat,
hut enriched with the Order of the Garter. Me

ever, occasioned some diminution of the enthusiasts

respect to the conspiracy, thereat, persons who con-
sider It less important, because it is said to be de-
tected by Marmont, and whenever he is on. duty at
the Tuilleries similar movements are announced. The
King's Guards ore under arms all eight—the muskets
Ire charged—and,fivally,not a shot fired. From the un-
disgeised aversion of the other Marshals he has every!

He met at Marshal Ney'S, where he was invited net=
cessarity as Captain of the Guard, a few evenings
since, the most cold reception. The reply of. Mac-
donald, which is fresh iu every one's memory, was
repeated in every quarter. Some short time after the
entre of the Bourbons, Marmont was diccussing
freely public events, and the part he himself had
played. Confounded at the observations he heard,
and willing to justify himself, be said, ' I am cer- '
tain of the parity of my intentions ; 1 acted for the'
good of France, but yet one is liable to be misre-
