PARIS. April e5.

FARIs, April 20.
We are all occupied here in conjecture
and reflections of the probable result of
treaty of Alliance which is reported to
have been signed between the Emperor of
Russia. his Majesty of Prussia, and the
King of the Netherlands. 1t is said that
the object of the Duke of Wellington's vi
sit to the Hagueis to obtain an ex lanation
of the King of the Netherlands as to the
high contracting partiesin this triple alli-
ance. The noble Duke is particularly in
terested in acquiring an exact knowledge
Of the object of this Treaty, as it is gener-
ally said that Russia has manifested wish
to deprive his Lordship of the command of
the Allied army stationed on the French
frontiers, and to offer il to the prince of
Orange. What degree of credit is to be
attached to these reports, will not say
| yesterday heard Russian Gentleman
say, that it was absolutely necessary that
Austria should cede Gallicia to the Empe-
ror Alexander, who never could or would
be satisfied until that province was added
to his dominions. 1t appears that Russia
is become the fast friend and firm support
er OF the King of the Netherlands. To
Russian influence is attributed the little at
tention which has been paid to the re-
monstrances of this Court relative to the
protection and asylum afforded to the
French regicides in Belgium. Many per-
sons suppose that the result of this triple
alliance will be the forming of similar
treaty between England, France and Aus
tiria. But recollect that what l send you
is but report-and the report of Paris /!

That minister replied, g such overtures do

suited on the same subject" Whence it
would appear, that NJ. de Richelieu is not
a strange to the Russian plan, in favor of
the young Prince, and that he presides o.
yer the government of France, as it has al
ways been thought, under the immediate
influence of Russian councils. In the hy-
