PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

zxTr. \CT Or A LETTER FROM FRANCE, IIErT, 17,

" I should I.e very glad to renew our old arquaiot-
once, and it will be with pleasure that I will see you
over here. I think there is not such around for ap.
',whel:ions in France as some imagine. In these
quarters re are generally very quiet, and submit to
every one that It kr+ charge of us;alo,ongli we shuu:d
be glad to be governed in a constitutional way, and
that the will of the Prince anti of the Niinistets
should not be reckoned as lass, as it was before the
Revolution.

'• As tv my wish, as a Frenchman, I cannot 'e
without pr,in, tLe burden with which my country is
overloaded by the enormous requisitions of such a
quantity of undisciplined soldiers, who pillage and
ravage every where they pace, so that they take away
every thing, and destriby wh►t they cannot take—
that co►nt►u;t k se contrary to the principles avowed
in their Doclaratiuna, that thew is not one French-
man who w ill forget it, and thus hatred will be
eternal betweeu Frenchmen and the Prossians in
particular.

You will certainly have observed that in the Times,
the Fwlitor has put ford► as a truth, that part of
France should be divided amongst the Belligerent
Powers, and that it was absolutely necessary to ren.
der us unfit to mike war on our neighbours; and in
the same Paper, of the 4th of September, he saes,
the apprehensions of this country being upon the
point of belog divided, have been thrown away by
Jacobins—,he must then confess that he is *Jacobin—
there is much to be said on the subject of what we
have to do—as Frenchmen we have at present to de.
plore the debasement of our nation."

6' Mir, Sept. 15,
" If you wish to know our political situation,
you may judge of it from the following facts :.
" There are no longer, Mildly speaking, any hot
Royalists in France, but they are divided into two
parties, who cortliklly detest each other. The first
party is that of the King, the .Ministers. and the
partizans of a Constitutional Government : it con.
sists of a large majority, round which_ rally the
flietqls of liberty and independence.
_

" The second patty is that of the Duke and
Dashes of Atigoulente, consisting of* great part of
the ancient NohlessP, thP oinj aity of the higher
Clergy, and of ell those who are ulitlvi the influence
of these two ci-detrant pri% classes.

" The second party wishes neither for the Charter,
a Constitution, nor a responsibie !Ministry, but an
absolute Mrn►archy : the King is eery thing with
them. if the King rcills it, so Jails the imp.f that
is the re•rson they are called vire (to)slists. It is
principally the returned Kni.zrants shoare the most
ardent. All those who do not think likta them ire
Jacobins and Bettapartists, whom they would shout,
banish, or exits., or at least hunt them from place
to plaCe, put them to night, or make them pay
contributions.- This' party being very exasperated
and violent, and breathing nothing hat vengeance
and massacre, they are called the ;rata ACO.
bins, because they hare all the rage of the hen_
burls of 1793. They are so etalted in their
opinions that they cannot pardon' Louis XVIII. for
wishing for a Constitution, or for Chambers, nor
fur not causing to he arrested and immediately shot
all the llottapat tifts. lie is incapable of reigning?
say they, he is a Jacobin. This is what I hare heard
persons about the Court fay, and what is repented
by the pure ilmjalists, or Itroctiottnaires. They,
therefore, do not like ei;hcr Talleyrand or Fouche,
are b •th strongly opposed to all re-action, and
who counteract nit the mance►rres is hich they em.
ploy to Its ing back thetorieirtst regime. They thos
endeavour to render them suspected with the Kin 4
and the Allies; as you may judge by the declama_
tions of the l'iincs and the Couria. Some tlite

'rime they atittounced a change of , Ministiy, and the
retirement of 'lntleyrand and Fouche, which would
be regarded as a public csbarnity. The pure Royalists
who were designed to be placed in their stead are all
Readionnaires and IVlii,e Jacobins. Their reign
would be that of terror ; Lut let them take care,
never will the Fievich people submit to the empire of
privileged casts ; never will th"y suffer it to come to
pass that the Revolution should retrogrede. Mee•
soma of rigour would lead to a uew revolution, of
which they would he the r;ctimis. It would he
far more wise to make concessions on both sides, and
thus to unite all in support of the Throne, but
the vengeance party will not give way in the least,
and they believe themselves to he . supported by
the Allies.- —lf it were so, th.•se Emigres must
he fools, that it is their cause which the Allies
defend against the mass of the nation. The
folloaitsg are facts on %bit+ you may rely :—The
Duke of Otranto has made two,RepOrte to the King.
His Majesty praised the Reports in the presence of
' the Allied Sovereigns, ,who requested copies. The
I Sovereigns or their Ministers having communicated
!copies, they were soon publicly circulated. This
I was displeasing to the Allies, but they could not re.
preach with it the Minister or Police, who had done
all that was in his power to stop the circulation.—
The Ministry are not agreed; some of them art
Constitutiotsalists, with the King, and others Reac-
tiormaires, with the Princes, hence the sort of con-
tradiction which is observed in the measures of Go-
vernment; but if public aftirs do not go on well, they
would be touch worse if the Ministry were reaction-
ary. Thus you observe all the Journals, until the
police prevented them from advocating re-action,
spoke only in this !tense; they turned into ridicule
all liberal ideas, and supaorted the cause of absolute
power. They had already purchased all the princi-
-1 pal Journals, when the Ordonnance relative to the
Press c ineeelerl them to silence. The Nobles reck-
oned ui the Ray el armies which they had begun to
rai-e, slid which were to be employed its executing
their tornj ,etc of vengeance against all the men of the
resolution. The massacres of Avignon, of Nismee,
of Montpellier, &c. were a commencement of the ex-
r coati- it of this p'sit. At "Toulouse, General Hamel,
although a great Royalist,was killed by the Royalists,
Vengeurs. The Ministry acted for a moment vi-
got ously, in disbanding all these Royal corps, iu
taking away all the powers of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Duke d'Angouleme, and in restoring
lo office those whom they had displaced, although the
latter bad been appointed by the King. The arma-.
meat of the Venouts still exists, but secretly. There
, •
.must• be a S'. Bartholomew of the patriots, ,in order t
that trastinillity may be established, say they, that Is
In say, in'order that we may remain masters: The
Thee,ue, and the Courkr have tettletivniut.,sl to takei
assay from the Doke of Otranto the merit of having
made thoeejwo admirable Reports to.t.lag.King, as if I
any other than a Minister could have T 116410 them.— i
You were right in not jselirving them. Fouche (mt. I
ploys no person to prepare important official papers,
because no person knows better One himself what
ought or onght not to be said, or the manner of say-
ing it. It was said that he would he succeeded by ,
M. de Vitroles, Secrollery of the Council of State,
who is of Han .party of the Princes ; he is a man
whom nobody knows, nor is it known how he get
there, hut he is a Dtuphinnis. It is said that!
Porto di Boren Will be Minister of the Interior—
another Corsican to govern F'rance—but he is a penal
sinner of Estglsnd, which is an assurance or guarati--1
tee of peace, wlwi it shall be made. They talk of '
the conclusion of a 'Treaty, but nothing is known of '
,the conditions. If they are supportable the peace
will last—if they are humiliating the Allies will fail
in their object. According to the Report to the 1
King they hare failed in their object, they wished, ;
doubtless, to make him welcome to the French pen-
ple, and Isis return is accompanied by the desolation
of France. Olt ! no ; the King has been its the'
hands of the Allies nothing but the instrument of our
rube The insurrection in Languedoc takes a dis- 1
quieting course, it is i commencement of a counter-
• reaction which most have a pernicious result, if se- I
vere measures are not adopted against both parties.
It is, however, dangerous to employ the Allies in
these cases, because such a measure is sure to injure
'the party who culls them in. • Thus the Emigres have,
felt the ill effects of having brought Abe...present war I.
upon France ; and if they rejoice at it in one sense,4
it is that without the presence of the Allies they
i would he compelled to be more moderate, and there
would be no longer any Royalism but the King and 1
the Chatter."

LONDON:

m N sEPTEmsca 20, ISIS.

The Pali.; Pspers.of &noisy but a►oirea this fore-
noon; a Ilarnbutgh Mail also arrived, Kith lirnssels
Papers to the ISin and Frankfort to the 14'h in,t. •

_ _ ...._..
The Russian camp at Veitus has broken up.
Rheims is swanning with Russian sohtiprs, %lit, hate
nrrived there on their way to the frontiers. Tile
Austrians are also said to he evacuating Fiance.
Russia is certainly strongly menaced by the foriniti,o_
ble armaments ulach are forming on the frontiers of
Turkey; and Austria appears to participate in the
danger and the alarm. The Venice Gazette, an ex.
tract from which is given in the lianthurgh Papers,
states, on the authority of letters from Constantino-
pls., that the'Xiiiperor of Monocco has declared war,
against Russia, Prussia, and Sicily; bet that the
Haitian Ambassador at Coustantinoplehad succeeded

its -cuminencitig a negotiation for peace. We
net how much or how little the Emperor of pr,.;
and the Kings of PRUSSIA and %LILY care for 1;6
wrath of the Emperor of Mottocco; but there
ii
evidently considerable alarm entertained at Peters.
,busorebi either front the designs of the Porte, or so,
political rn tch!ttations suspected to be carryitrg
there. or elsewhere It is announced from. Bolin tie,t
the RaSsian Lieutenantteneral and Minister (f

The French rape's announce t:se surrender rf
smite more of the fortified places to the troops of t',e
Atli,-., and the commencement of the sier ass:l
bardmesit of otters; but not a !email( is herirdm
on these vubjects, beyond the bore and always brill
met:lien of the fact. Schelestadt has sorrendero%
the city of Salius is suffering greasily from
meta ; and we find by the Wessels accounts (het
sluntinedy has offered to capitulate, and that 111
Civets have been given up to the Prussians. The
abject tone of servility in which this intelligence is
communicated by the dispatch in the Belem' Papers
is truly disgusting, and must be doubly so to Rose
who know what are the sentiments of the people
ie
Belgium in general on this establishment of
Power in their neighbourhood. " Ilia Royal 110.
ness Prince Aveosrus of Poussr.a.,". says the pros.
slats Commandant, " has deigned to send from the
head-quarters, at Romedonne, the intelligence, the
in consequence of a Convention concluded on tie
Oth of Vas months in the evening, with the Cog.
nonolants of the fortresses of Gillet and Charlemont,
. the two Civets, as well as the Mont d'Haut, hare
beets given up to the Prussian troops, and that the
, French garrisons of those places retire into Chadic
mont. Nine pieces of heavy artillery sad a toms.
derable quantity of ammunition have fallen into our
hands; we have reserved a right (a right, forsooth!)
of prosecuting hostilities against the fort of Cherie.
mont, reckoning from the I Ith at noon."
Charlemont, however, must now be very strong,
from the junction of the garrisons of the Civets sad
Mount &Haut ; and we find, by the Papers received
to-day, that although the Prussians have already be.
gun to-exercise their right to attack it, it is deter.
I mired to hold out. Tlse white and red Hags float on
the walls of Charlemont.
; We blush to obvesre, that British soldiers, British
alicers, and Btltish artillery, are assisting in th;s
i war which is carrying on against anoffending cities in
' the midst of professions of peace and negocisii n.,
and after the grounds of hostilities are declarml to
hare ceased. Batteries of CONOREVE% rockets,
with artillerymen instructed in the service, ruder
the conimaitsl of ao English Odicer, are gone to As.
Slit In the siege of New Bsi,,etc.
It is expected that the declarations of the French
Legislative Bodies, and their instructions to the Mi.
1 nisters, on the subject of this violation of the French
• territory, and of the most solemn pledges by the Al.
lies, will be very strong ; and it is evident that there
is now an immense popular power in arms, and ready
to obey the dictates of indignation, if, in the least
degree, countenanced by authority. The prepan•
lion§ for the Sittings of the Chamber of Depths
ere concluded, and national business is not to beds.
hayed. 'Else 3foniteur gives a decided contradictioa
to the reports of thepostpoeement- of the meeting cf
the two Chambers to the Ist October.
• The riots in the Palais Royal are said to hare*•
tirely ceased, and the Carden, hare lately beets ogres
'till I 1 et night.
The accounts from Nimes would induce a belief
.tbat the slistusbancee in that -quarter are at an end
also ; hut from the accounts we bare of the arresting
and punishing of persona accespd of sedition, from
and in every department of Frisk., with which com-
munication can he had, it appears the ferment is far
from having subsided. In the departments of Arey
ion, the Ardeche, the Ain, and various others, a
spirit of reaction, hostile to the Govertsmeot, is
strongly manifested, and its operations are every dry
gaining consistency, extension, and organization.
ft appears certain, say the Papers of Sunday, O'at
Marshal NEY will be tried at the Palace of Justice:
but no day is ) et mentioned for the trial.
We observe that the Duke of F11.13.114E4 (a Stew')
has published another letter (addressed to the Editor
of the Journal de Debots), reflecting ()tithe conduit
and character of his brother-in-law, Gimped But-
" Tainn, who is now with BONAPARTE. 'rid, Nob:a

all due submission to the Noble Dukes notions
of honour and friendship, we take leave to say,.
that we scarcely know an act more deserving of
teprobation than that breach of confidence and deli.
berate malignity, which could voluntarily publish
and deposit in vengeful hands a pritate letter,l4-
dressed by an unfortunate man to one whom he con.
ceived his Mend, and a MON of Lonoor. But who
could em)tet any thing better from the sputiclos di.

It appears, says the Journal of Ghent, that nego-
ciations respecting the peace are carried on between
the King in person and the Allied Powers, and it is
dial, that the King has adopted this mode of negoti-
ation from the advice of his Minister. Mr. Wellesley
