Paris, Feb. el.
The people here are in a strange state of ferments- I
tint., with all the different reports put into circulation.
The ultras are endeavouring to alarm the government
by ill sorts of tricks. They daily pretend to discover
new conspiracies; they write anonymous letters; they
send violets and tri-coloured cockades to the minister:,
&c. kc. It is true that all these paltry machinations
are well known, but it shells what are the pretensions
and wishes of the authors. The Peers are still busy
with the conspiracy of the 19th of August ; it seems
that their debates are still more stormy than those of
the deputies. There also the tri-coloured cockade has
been mentioned more then once, .o the great rage
and terror of the ultras. It is positively reported that
funr l'eers are to be put on trial, two of whom are
general Maison and Lanjuinais. In the meantime
the government appears to be paralyzed ; the chamber
of deputies does nothing. The ministerialists say
that the ministers have nothing ready to present, but
it is clear that they are afraid of the liberals exposing
to the public a!l the menses of the ultras, and perhaps
still more their own manoeuvres with the triumvirate
of the north al,sainst the liberty of Naples. There
certainly was never more indignation manifested than
there has been since the news arrived of the Austrians
having crossed the Po.
meet strange report has just found its way into
puhlie. It is said the flue de Cases is expected here
very shortly, and this news, true or false, has put
the ultras on the alert. Some say that the King has
been alarmed by the furious conduct of the ultras, and
the he finale no other ways to stop them than by re-
calling his old friend; but whether he will regain
popuiarity hp so doing is nut very certain. It will be
attributed of course to his fear of the extravagant
conduct of his pretended friends, and not to sincerity.
It is generally believed by the royalists that the
Duchess d'Angoirleme is enceinte, and that it will
soon be made lemmas to the public. The Parisian!,
who are never at a loss to make jokes, say that this
miracle has been the consequence of some words that
this lady had with the Duchess de Berry, who hail
the perversity to wish success to Iser noble-minded
.f-shat.

The French Revolution was marked by violence, cruelty
and indiscriminate ; and it therefore is not snuck
'stetter of surprise that the well-meaner' et the day were
shocked ; and that they called out for the extermina-
tion of all Revollitionary principles. But the projected
invasion of Naples has not the smallest argument in its
&fever. Not a sectence can be offered in favor of this
diabolical measure; no, not even by all the prostituted
talent of the most rarrtipted Court. The Neapolitans
hare done nothing but what must be approved by
all good men.—They have destroyed tyranny with-
unt etsdan4ering the Monarchial principle. They have
accomplished a eloango of system without the aid of vio-
lence ; and have ther..ll stripped the term " Revolu-
tion" of all its horrors. This is " the very head and
front of their otfentlingl and this alone has caused the
tyrants to hate them. and to attempt their destruction.
'the ergnosent ttrgeti Ity the Ministers against the inter-
ference of this eouistre is more than absurd; It is incon-
sistent with the former combed of their deified master,

foreign interference is improper. What then is
the conclusion ? Why, to be sure, that foreign inter-

This is the true state of the case; however it may be
coareakd by that species of noise which, in the !louse
of Common.. is rallnl eloquence. flowerer, the English
tinverawent have determined upon remaining passive in
the approaching contest; and the result of it remains to

be seen.
