TZFR tt'T or A LVITER FROM PARIS.

We are in appearance tranquil here, but in fact, in
6ur opininits and oeistiments, extremely at variance
and agitated. France nay lee said to be divided into
1%: o pArties —the Censtitutianalists, who wish to
maintain the Gies i:ution as now established; and
the Anti-Cutistitutiontilists, who wish to overthrow
it, and restore the ancieer order of things. The first
p.rty consists of the King, his Ministers. the Pa-
ti (he a hit h, we suppose, Is meant the ancient
Repoblicans), those who were formerly Bonapartism,
a:id all the partisan's of rational liberty. At the
head of :he other party are the Doke and Duchess of
Annuli:me. to whom are united most of the Erni-
*emits, ill the pure Royalists, and the greater part
of ate ancient Nobility. It was this party which
had organized in the Smith a Government, which
it may be said was independent of the King.—
It rai'ed legions of Marie Therese (so named after .
the Duchess of Augnuleme), which have corn-
edited the greatest excesses in the South and
West of France. Th's patty vows the most
implacable revenge against all the adherents-'to
Bonaparte, and all the eatly partizans of the ,
Itevolutien. The King has happily revoked the
powers he gave to the Commissioners sent by him
into the provinces on his anise' in Patio, disbanded
the legions of Royalists, and has just forbidden,those
charged with the care of the Newspapers, to print
any article tending to excite or encourage what is
called re-action. What has been done by the King,
being attributed to Feuche and Talleyrand, has
drawn on them the implacable resentment of all the
Atli-constitutionalists. Those two persons, they
know, oppose every idea, of re-action and vengeance,
and wish to rally round a Throne still tottering, a
perfect union of all parties; convinced that it can
only be supported and upheld by extreme prudence
and moderation, and by for ever stifling the spirit of
persecution ; in fact, by burying the past in the most
absolute oblivion. The Allies have given up, to
those authorised by the King, the charge of most
of the different Departments; but in those oc-
cupied by the PrusAaits and Bavarians, they still
otttinue to levy contributions, and to examine and
controul the measures of the Prefects anti Sub-Pre-
fects, though those acts are to the utmost degree ar-
bitrary, and direc.iy contrary to the Resolutions of
the Congress. Several Prefects, for having refused
to obey the orders of the Nuptial, Military Com-
mandant, have been sent prisoners to Aix-la-Cha-
pelle, or put under attest till they complied with
what was demanded, and paid for being set at li-
berty. t- I.:if! that a Prussian Officer iu attempt-
iovo violate a young `vouna)was Lilted by her; the
* !irry'rvvo7Mgyrrete-•*-44,1e, ardei ed the girl to
be shot. The inhabitants rose to rescue her, and a
number of persons on both sides were killed and
wounded. The greatest anxiety and distrust prevails
in every part of Fiance; because the Allies have as
yet constantly refused to explain their intentions, nor
can any one divine how or when this state of things
will be terminated. We look to the meeting of the
Representative Bodies with awe and apprehension.
If they act with prudence, firmness, and adhere to
the Constitution, we may yet be saved ; but if they
do otherwise, if they adopt a spirit of re-action, if
they attempt to attack wh..t ?.as been established,
we shall he thrown back into those scenes of
anarchy and diseerd that merktel the early periods of
toe revolution. ‘\'e look to their meeting, as I have
s..id, with fear, bee,' use Memo all the Nobles, these
who remained and those e ho emigiated,and are come
back, have united their influence to procure the eke-
' titan of these who are termed pure royalists, that is
of men who ale animated with a wish to see the Mo-
narchy restored such as it was thirty years ago, and
seem to be ignorant .of what has happened since,
and of the present state of things. The Royalists
are divided into two parties, that of the King, and
that of the Duke d'Attgouleme, but what cannot
he sufficiently regretted is, the idea that prevails,
that some of the Allied Powers are more disposed to
support the latter party than that of the King. At
the beginning every thin 4 was in the power of the
Allies, had they at once declared the resolution of
supporting the Constitutional Monarchy, and dis-
avowed any intention of dismembering France, the
King would have been firmly established on his
throne, and France in tranquility. 'rite mysterious
silence they have preserved on these two important
points, and the excesses committed by some of the
troops, have excited a spirit that will not easily be
quelled ; to these circumstances may be ascribed the
duration of the resistance of some of the military,
and die obstinato defence of the fortresses. We do
tent, however, mean Entirely to exculpate those corn-
Menders, their conduct was alike culpable uttil
; they might at once to here ackennleilged
their lawful Sovereign, and to have displeyed his
44isigits ; hail they been attacked afterwards, it must
have been by declaring war against him, and the
nation then to a man would have rallied to defend
him. As things now lure, end unless they soon
change, Fiiince, owl perhaps 17:rope, rely hare to
regret the interferetire of the Allies, and wish they
hail left us to ourselves. There is one of your coun-
trymen, however, to whom I, in coletion with every
Man of sense and honour, will ever be' most ready to
do justice, I mean the Duke of Wellington. Vain
as we were of our past military glory we universally
adtnire him as it izarrior, while we honour and re-
spect him as a man.
