LONDON, July 25.
Private accounts shew that the public
mind has not yet subsidized into a state of
| fixed repose in France, but continues TO
indicate symptoms of etiervescence. At
Dieppe there has been very serious riot
| IN the Theatre, originating in political
feeling between the Inhabitants and the
military. Strong apprehensions Of a riot
were also entertained at Bologne. IL we
| may Judge from the extent of The precau-
| tons taken by government, the threaten
ed danger was considerable. The pre-
cautions, however, had the effect of IRE
venting any mischief that may have been
Ill preparation. The Paris papers are
become SO completely destitute of intel
ligence, it's only through private chan
nels such circumstances can be known,
while they are new, and possess any in
terest.

Some of the Foreign Journals, in noti-
chg the dispute between ibe people of
Wlrtemberg aud their sovereign, respec-
ting the new constitution. state that the
public tranquility is likely to be preserv-
ed by the interference of Russia, and that
tire malcontents have been threatened
with the eruption of a body of Russian
troops. Most of the liberal Journals,
both abroad and at home, have just la
ken the alarm at this summary mode Of
suppressing popular discomfort. Their
fears are now transferred from France 10
Russia, and they begin TO apprehend that
the continental nations may have only
exchanged the muniticent despOtism of
Bonaparte, for the sordid and savage ty-
ranny of modern Scythia The danger
Oh the side of Russia is indeed remote
but the long distance of time and space
through which 1t is beheld, serves only
TO increase the sense of alarm, by render
ing 1t more obscure and indefinable.
Such are the apprehensions of the mo-
ment, which, most assuredly, are not OF
nature TO be either derided or despised,
If they were founded en- fact-but we
have no doubt that the whole story of
NIriemburg and the Russian army ara
pure fabrications. The Emperor Alex
ander Is not Il sovereign who holds thus
lightly the ties ofpublic faith and indiyi-
dual honor. He is not 0ike Bonaparie,)
man who counts for nothing the estim-
atom OF his contemporaries. All the
same time, we are by no means disposed,
Ill common with many public writer's of
the day to undervalue the danger which
impends 10 Europe, from the governing
preponderance of Russia. For very
long time past, that aspiring power has
been pressing souihwards on all OCcari-
ons, with constancy and perseverance,
which indicated but too plainly her Sc
cret wishes. If a mo march should arise
with great military talents, aud unres-
trained ambition, we shall, in all probabi
ty, have TO play over again, the tragical
game OF tie last 20 years. During the
lie of Alexander there is little to be fear
ed-but no" pTecarious is tile state OF re-
pose which depends on the life ofan indi-
Vldual. AL that can be at present is 10
see the danger In time, and provide d.
gainst It's arrival. Hitherto. we are sorry
10 say, the precautions OH the subject,
have not only been despised butrevered.
The confederate nations of Europe al the
late treaty with most prodigal but i'm
polite gratitude, thought fit to strengthen
the oveTgrown power OF Russia by the
virtual annexation of Poland! They
seemed to wish TO accelerate the period
OF their subjugatioD.
