This has become the subject of universal conversa-
tion in Paris, and it is of consequence here also;
because if this s,•izore uas made without the concur.
rence of the English Ambassador, it would bespeak
a jealousy between the two Courts, not favourable
to tranquillity. Aid it is asked, what motive could
the Eoglisn have in this proceeding, as they must
already know the tenor of all his papers? The best
founded conjecture is, that the Noble Earl might
have been indiscreet enough to take charge of letters
from Italians in Paris, suqlwcted to be iu intelligence
with the exile in Elba, and that it was the object of
the Police to discover their names.
Certain it is that more than the ordinary precau.
tions were taken in Paris immediately afterwards.—
On the evening of the 33th November, the gates of
the Thuilleries were shut before the usual hour;
hall-cartridges were delivered out to the Guards, and
they were kept in readiness the whole night, as if
some movement had been expected; but ell remained
