64 Aleantime the fortress of Conde is more closely
invested, and will he immediately bombarded if it still
continues to refuse to open its gates." What is pass-
ing in regard to the other French fortresses, which
have, or have not, surrendered, may be learnt from 1
other sources. Ifuningoen, we are told, is to be
razed; and the work of demolition is slid to have
been already begun. Montmedy still holds out, and
Lisle continues a formidable barrier to the ambitions
iivaders in that quarter. 66 A person," 55% n pri.

with their twitches lighted, ready to repel the foreign
troops who wish t• enter that town."
We cannot believe that any Treaty of Peace Ima •
hpen concluded whilst we see such a species of hosti..
lity carrying on. There is no information on the sob,
jert of the Treaty that can he relied on. The French
Papers received to.day ore silent on the subject.—
The Public Functionaries assert in their Proclama.
lions, that the integrity of the country will be main. '
tained in order, doubtless, to tranquillize the pub-
lic
mind; and this point will be maintained by France;
but these announcements cannot be regarded as proofs •,
that a Treaty to this effect has been concluded. The
private letters assert, that the British superior OM-
cers have hired hotels at Paris for a year.
NEY'S trial has not yet commenced. No cause is
assigned for this delay. The silence of the Papers
tespecting the disturbed state of the South would in-
dicate that the dissrdets had been repressed ; but the
enslaved state of the French Press, and the commu-
nications through other channels, forbid our drawing
such an inference. We must observe, however, that
there are some remarks in the Papers before us pen-
tied with more than usual freedom on the subject of
military preferment. The composition of the King's ,
Guards does not seem to please the tastes of the loy.
alists—" merit is neglected." Alas, merit is a
poor Chouan, which even the King of Chouans ne-
glects.

PARIS, SL'I'T. 12.—Yesterday, about four o'clock,
a train of French artillery, and some troops of dif-
ferent arms, entered Paris. They defiled upon the
Boulevards of the North. Every body was eager to
see them.

The Emperor of Russia is expected to-morrow at

Paris.

_
It is affirmed, that the Royal Prussian Guard,
which is in that capital, have received orders to hold
themselves ready to set out at any momen►. It is not
said whether it will he replaced by other Prussians,
or by other troops of the Allies.
They write from Orleans, that a corps of Prussian
troops is expected to replace the Bavarians, who will
go to the Campagnes dc la Bauce.
Niarchal Sachet was still, on the Sth inst. at Cler-
mont.Ferrand, with several Officers of his Staff.

Yesterday ensuing there was a disturbance in the
//alai; Royal between a Prussian officer and a citizen ;
but some Russian soldiers, who were posted in the
Grande Cour, seconded by a strong patr?le of Na-
tional Guards, restored older in a short time. The
gales of the garden were closed, and many persons
suspected of having been the instigators of the riot,
were arrested and conducted to the Piefecture of Po-
lice.—(Gazdtc de Fame(.)

If you destroy an abuse, the interest of those
whom it fasoured will resive it under another
shape. A Royal Guard is created, and every body
is satisfied. Some days after a public Paper an-
flounces that the Chiefs of the Guard shall choose
themselves the Officers of these corps ; and every
body is reasonably astonished. It is no longer ser-
rice, exploits, priority, experience, and military ta-
lents, which shall entitle to rank in the Guard I.—
P:tronnge must distribute it, and favouritism Glitain
the reward of merit. With the firm resqlution even of
only listening to the suggestions of egliity, how is it
possible to avoid the traps of intrigue ? how resist
the credit of a powerful man, the solicitations of
flieodship, the pressing considerations of rank, of
fortune, and of birth ?-1f this news be false, it is
very impolitic to spread it ; if true, we shall be the
first to impose upon ourselves silence; we will only
indulge in a respectful regret.—(Journal de Paris.)
