By the arrival of the ship Elizabeth
from Dublin, we have received London
papers to the 10th of May. From the
Courier ofth 18th OF that month we have
copied the report Of the Minister of Pc.
lice Fouche Duke of Otrante tits (says
that paper) one of the most important
documents that has been published, both
as to the. matterit contains. and the time
it has been made public. The allies have
convincing proofs Of the disatection OF
the interior; they read in it assurances
that their aid will be acceptable to the
people, and they have these facts made
known to them just as they are on the
point OF commencing active operations.
Report from the Minister Of Police to tie

SIRE-At the moment when your ma
jesty resumed the reigns of government,
France had no other resources for escap-
ing from anarchy than those which were
supplied by her own proper energy.
Abandoned to exifes, whom preiudices
vengeance, and other passions ruled, the
government no longer afforded any
means of national protection, and was in
reality, nothing but the instrument Of a
faction.
It was the intention to rekindle the
ashes of the camp Of Jale and La Yendee
to rally the remains ofthe instruction of
Brittany and Normandy /; to compress
the people by terror, and to bring back
BY violence the barbarism of the feadal
ages.
Every thing was directed to the ac-
complishment of that project. The pub
lie treasure was dissipated in rewardins
criminal employments, and for service
which the country either knew not, or
disayowed. Employments, pensions, no.
nors, were layished OH obscure individu-
ais, loaded with the public hatred, brand
ed by public opinion, whilst certain pub
lie writer's, and even the timid, shook
the foundation of property, and attacked
the law which the head of the church had
made it their duty to respect.
That violation of social order-such
contempt of public morals--such strange
torgettulness of the principles of the most
simple policy, must have necessarily III
troduced general Instruction. The
dagger was imminent; it was about to
bring with it the destruction of the i'm
prudent and presumptuous men who en-
cited. Once more they owed their safe
ty to YOU,
l shall not call to your recollection the
prodisious effects Of the union between
the people and the army; all the popu-
latlen OF the eastern provinces pressing
i'll crowds after your footsteps; all at
temPts at civil war failing in the west
and III tie south; the royal array disem-
bodied, aisarmed, aad dispersed, witho t
resistance, and i'll the space OF few days,
the people reinstated in all their rights,
their enemies reduced to silence, and
calm every where established.
However, it was not very natural to
think that all the seeds of discord were
entirely destroy ed--that so many per-
sons could see their hopes vanish with
OFT retaining some regrets--that the pri-
yilesed orders, with which royalty sur
founded itself, could support tie disband-
ing without muimul-that men who
we're bound together for this twelve
month past, by secret recruiting, excited
to create disturbances, by tie distribution
and promises of money, should, on
sudden, enter into peaceable and quiet
mode of life-and, in short, those who
ad already frequently violated the faith
Of several amnesties, should shew them
selves at present less ungrateful, or more
faithful. Events have justified this Tore
sight.
Considered under a general point of
view, France presents at present an i'm
posing spectacle, and the most favorable
