(ExToAct or A LF.TTER MOM PAlttS.l
" A complete Revolution has taken place in this
country since l last described it to you. To me it
appears even more estraordinary, under all the cis.
camstetrees of the present hour, than the former
transition from veneration for the Giant' Moriarque
to the fury of republicanism, or from that to unqua-
lified admiration of en Imperial Ruler. The change
tow ch I allude pervades all ranks and descriptions
of • foreigners as well as Frenchmen. The
old ing-ieems absolutely to have changed his na.
tare. from being open, placid, and good humour. •
ed, he is become closiN peevish, arid restless. His
klitsisters all seem paralysed or confused, which is.
44e—wore extraordinary because till very lately
there appeared a superabundance of activity and
bustle. As to the mass of the people, it is easy to I
see that disgust is the prominent feeling. In vain
they look at their ost-n Newspapers for consolation, I
for they say nothing but what is agreeable to ter.:
tain persons of the Court, who are themselves un.
der the cont.:en! of • foreign Junta. They read with
avidity every English Journal they can lay hold of, t
hut those which are here most industriously circa.
laced, are so full of falsehoods, and even falsehiseds
of doe most ridiculous kind, that they rather tend
to keep up their humours than to shay them.—
If ever ftonaparte is mentioned, which is not very
frequent among strangers, you are sure to Ira told,
with great emphasis, that he would not have sat
Icing 4 upon a degraded throne' The obvious con.
',traction of this remark, which they intend to'
convey, is, that they are highly indignant at Itieri—
present degradation, which they attribute solely to
the pusillanimity of the Bourbons. There has been
a report very prevalent, that Luis nould resign.—
I confess such an event would not surprise me, and
'believe it to have ari,ett me!rly from some of the
younger branches of the family havlirg been seta
for to Paris somewhat hastily. But what I have
already described to you, does not corninize the
whole, nor even the most impo: tact portion of that
revolution in-sentiment which I have said has lately
taken place. For a very long period I was rejoiced
to see my countrymen, if not actually to a certain
degree popular, at least not odious, among the
Parisians; but some recent discoveries, or supposed
discoveries, have tended to dissipate all my dreams
of English popularity :_you hare already been in-
formed what havoc's the soldiers of one of the Allied
Powers have been making among the mouuments
of arts which the late Emperor had collected as
into a focus in this city. Indeed, their conduct
has been unnecessarily cruel, for, like Goths and
Vandals, they have destroyed as well as pilfered,
arid under pretence of restoring the plunder of for- i
ever pillage, have actually seized and sent away a i
great many things which owed their origin to France .
cud-French artists. Among these the ParisianS fancy
there are not a few which are making their way to
England. They accuse us, therefore, of covertly
sincournging the plundering system of oar Allies,
that• we may ultimately receive part of the spoil.
Whether this accusation be well founded, or merely
French jealousy, I have not beets able to ascertain ;
but certaiish: the report is so general, arid such harsh
things are said of a certain great Commander on the
occasion, as harrow up the soul of an Englishman to
hear. They say, and say wish gloat appearance of
reason; that we It tee g-ot sufficient of their curiosities

is CFIIBIII that he is at present in great dudgeon;
