of Marshal Ney have also, been withdrawn; theism*.
teurs of caricature have no. loss in the suppression of
them, they were remarkable only for stupidity and
nas•iness ; the greatest number of them were se sdan-
dalouslyv gross, that in London they would, pro.
bably, have attracted the notice of the Civil Ma.
gistracy. Ney, whose trial comes on to-morrow,
has been most rigorously guarded ait hilt the last
three days ; it is even reported, that a plan was dm.
certed to carry him off try open fore , ; it is 'some.
what singular, that they are the Jacobins who are
supposed to have attempted his liberation; the court
of his prison is crowded with gons.d'arases, not only
whilst he is taking his usual exercise, but even
when he is retired to his c:tamber; the entrances are
also strongly guarded by mounted gens.d'armes.
Marshal Ney will be deprived of his rank in the '
same manner as hi.incey. Several French °Meets
continue to be arrested every day. It •xciled some
alarm at first from the supposition of their being ar-
rested for political offences ; but the cause of their'
being arrested and sent to the prisons of state, is
their obstinacy in remaining in Paris contrary to the
orders of the French Minister of War.
A French Colonel committed an act of horror a
few day: ago in consequence of his being refused
permission to remain in the capital. He had, it up.
pears, been arrested and sent to the Abbaye some
weeks ago, in consequence of appearing in the capital
without leave. After some days' confinement he was
released and returned to his department, where he
' continued sonic time; last week he again appeared in
Paris, "and was in consequence ordered to present
himself at the Etat-Major's, in the place Vendome,
to•account for his conduct. lie accordingly did appear
before the Commandant, and stated, that the want of
subsistence drove him to Paris to solicit Wertice, thatt
he had no fortune or profession, bet that of a soldier
from his boyhood. The Commandant told him he

young for his rank of Colonel, but had obtained the
favour of Napoleon. Such is the distress of the
French officers who have been disbanded, that a pro.
posal is said to have been made by themfor billets
upon the inhabitants where they were ordered to re.

French Goverment. tis creditable, however, to

Chaptal, the celebrated chemist, who was for
some time Bonaparte's Minister of the luterior, is
preparing to go to America, with the intention of
settling there in the spring. Lacepede, who ii dis.

conlideuce of Honaparte, is also said to be repar.

Impossibility of establishing a Constitutional Mo-
narchy under a Military Chief, and particularly
under Napoleon." It should have added that this
fourth edition was aogmented by a preface entirely
directed against the principles of legitimacy. It is
the preface therefore only that has given rise to this
measure.
The Prefect of la Nievre has ordered by an art-de,
that the inhabitants of that department who did not
form part of the national guards, should deposit their
arms at their respective Mayoralties. This order has
been executed.
r.e Allied troops commenced 15 days since their
movements for the evacuation of the French territory.
Measures have been concerted with the Commandants
of the Allied troops to insure. un the roads pointed
out, the subsistence of the troops and the maintenance
of good older and discipline. The Minister of War
has sent officeis of his staff and commissaries to at-
tend each army, they precede the columns by several
marches in order to collect in time subsistence on the
respective routes.

would only be injurious to those parts of Cie country
through which the Allied troops must pass, by ex-
posing Ctem to an assemblage on the the same point
of troops of different nations, and not allowing suffi-
cient time to surest the resources necessary to pro-
vide fur their wants.

PARI3, Nov. 9.—A change in the Ministry is
very much spoken of. A very warm and even scan-
dalous discussion has taken place in the Committee
of the House of Deputies, about the letter written
to the Prefects, by the Minister of the Police (De.
