publication of mine, known to you all, Gentlemen,
entitled " Another Word touching the Gonslitn.

sfized in his house, by the Inspector Menard. The
simple mention of such nn act will, perhaps, be suffi-

4RIV4TI CORRESPONDENCE,

Paris, Jane SO.
Some strange circumstances occur here every day,
which illustrate, better than any description could
do, the highly irritable state of the French feelings;
and that which I now mention will show you at
once the temper of the army .towards the present
Government, as well as their insolence and con.
fidence in their own strength. Thr4 days ago, soon
after a review, two Officers of Dragoons went into a
book shop in the Rue de Richelieu, and toeing some
pamphlets on the counter which reflected on the reign
of Bonaparte, they tore them to pieces without eery.

selves by an attack upon his adveisatief, spitting to.
peatedly at a miniature engraving of Monsieur which
hung against the wall, and damning the whole race
of Bourbons. The unfortunate woman, Whose crime
of loyalty was :thus, visited on her means of living,
had spirit enough to threaten them with a complaint
to the police, when" they left the shop, but returned
in a few minutes with a reinforcement of three ou
four other Officers, and told her plainly, that if she
dared to complain, they would break every window
she had, and turn her books with herself and family
into the street. I pledge myself to you for the truth
of the foregoing narrative—it- is by this time per-
fectly well known to Government; the Police are
in possession of every part of it. You ere well
