Extract, dated DordeauE, May IL.
TINS country is in rather worse
state than when / last wrote you--there
having been some serious movements
at Grenoble. 1t appears the leaders
OF the Patriots IN that quarter were TOO
piec:pitate sstsst 1wo hundred, i,
is said, of the patriots were left on the
field of battle, and about twelve hun
dred were taken prisoners and put to
death by a fusilade, without trial. such
is the report. What the rea. state and
evtent OF The affair has been we do rot
know, we are kept 50 completely in the
dark.
We have had to-day an uproar on
the exchange in this cily---it appears,
notwithstanding the solemn PROMISES Of
The legitimate Bouy6ons 10 the contra
~, contained in their proc!amations on
entering France, that the dteita reunis,
so obnoxious under Napoleon, is to be
re established, and that on the Goth Of
the present month, this law, which is
now more oppressive than under the
emperor, is to go into operation in this
city, There was a general hue and
cry against it OF the exchange, and a.
gainst the TONERS that Be, for a want Of
faith" a 6aS les drofss Teunis and IFS
outhors,"' was vociferated by every one,
as loud as their lungs would permit.
The exchange was edialely shu;
by an armed force. and the merchants
driven home like dogs to their novels
so unpopular are legitimates now be-
coming that even in this royal city, or
what is better English city, the great
er Por,ioL of the population begin TO
curse the coming and second coming OF
Louis, whom they now call the Mcssi
ah Of dsstractipe foiitics.
George Canning the famous is now
here it is said by the Patriots that he
has already concluded a treaty with the
ruling harry, forthe establishments of a
sefayafe government, in this section of
france, in case the Bourbons should
be forced out Of Paris.
Z" MIR. Wilson, very worthy man of
Baltimore who was lately named consul
for Nantz or L'Orien, by our govern
ment, has been told by the duke of
Ricbelieu, through the project of his
department, that his foHfics are SO oS
noxious, that be cannot be acknowledge
ed in that capacity When consuls are
TO be sent to France in future, it will be
useless TO sen1 any one whom the Eng
lish minister ct Washington disap.
proves for his letters will prevent any
eceguatuT.
{" Gu: consul here is TO embark next
month ; his furniture is now selling
off be is making his arrangements for
that purpose. He has had cory time
Of it here under this regular govern
menf. The treatment be has expert.
eDced would disgrace the government
Of Algiers.
" | can send you no papers, for
take none, nor.do any Of my neig hbors
hey are SO barren and seville that they
are to be found only in the coffee hous
es. English papers are prohibited, and
American papers we get now aud then
by stealth. "--AuroTG.
