LoNDoN, Nay 2.
Yesterday evening we received Paris
papers of Friday, and this morning OF
Saturday last.
This is the day on which Bonaparte
was to- leave Paris on tour OF inspection
|of the northern frontiers. His absence
Twas to be about. a fortnight. Had ne
been able to assemble sufficiently large
army, we should consider his departure
from the capital as a signal for colnmenc-
ling offensive operations, and making an
|irruption into the Netherlands, but no ac-
|counts that have been received from
France represent his army to be IN con:
|dition, whether with respect to numbers
or equipment, to carry the war out OF
France.
Symptoms of the immediate commence
|ment of hostilities have already been ex-
|hibited. The bridge Of Kehl has been
|shut. General Rapp, who commands at
|Strasburg, has ordered foreign prisoners
returning home from France to be detaln;-
led, in reprisal for French prisoners hav-
ling been detained who were on their re-
turn from Russia. An article from the
frontiers of Switzerland says, " that the
storm is approaching-that on the 18Th
ult. many Austrian and Bavarian troops
arrived at Lorrach, and that 300 wag-
gons were put in 'requisition on the ed
at Friboure, for the service of the army"
The French are erecting new batteries
near Basic, and seem to expect that
Switzerland will Join the common cause.
1t should seem also as if they expected
Spain to declare against them. La an or
der Of the day Published by the general
commanding at Bordeaux, he says, that
an army is assembling upon the Garonne
thai it has not any hostile destination,
but that it's merely to protect the depart
ments contiguous to Spain, !" the gem
us of evil should be powerful enough to
induce the cabinet of Madrid to take part
in a war against nation whose alliance
was at all times necessary to Spain. -
Great reason indeed has Spain to be sa-
tisfed with that alliance. She has not
vet forgotten the manner in which she
was 1v1oarded for it--bow her ildeiity
was recompensed by treachery-her con-
fdence By cruelty-her sincerity by
breach of faith, Of which history had not
furnished any parallel example.
The private letters from Paris are IN a
very different strain from the contents OF
those fine specimens of the freedom OF the
press, the Paris papers. There are sand
TO be three parties. Bonaparte, assocl-
atins himself with the jacobins, wishes to
make use of their influence, but to keep
them subseryient to him. The establish
meat of house of peers is regarded as
his triumph over them. This has given
great discomfort to the jacobins cut OF
employ, and they are represented IS
most actively employed. TO soften them
Bonaparte has appointed commissioners
all Of the old iacobln scheol--Boissy d.
Anelais. Thebandeau, & others, to pro-
coed to the respective departments. A
third party consists Of the national guards
and the middiing ranks of the people who
are disguised at the present state OF al
fairs, who remain attached to the bour-
| ons, and who dread the evils which the
treason of Bonaparte and the filthy per-
Jury of the French marshals and army
are about to bring upon France.
We have subjoinea a nobie address OF
The o,,ar,ls Of Amiens to all the other ma
tional guards. The Lower orders otpeo,-
pie at Paris are farfrom being contented.
| Bread has doubled in price, and all other
articles are dearer. The sudden removal
Of foreigners has stopped at once tne
stream of wealth which was rapidly en-
r;;cEing Paris. Some explosion IS sato TO
lbe at hand. Several private tan'iles are
| in consequence withdrawing from the ca
pital. In some parts the furious !acob,ins
Rave been trying to revive the disorders
| Of 1892 and 1875. At Lyons there are
! said to have been several massacres; tie
wretches have fac with black ground,
with the u,otto--rEmpereur, la Kepnb-
iaue and la Mort.
When Bonararte leaves Paris, and the
allies enter France, there will, 1T IS sup
/ posed, be disturbances not only at fatis,
but in other parts ct France.

in operation all that remains to HIM OF
