Louis PHILIPPE Il correspondent OF
the New York Union thus writes from
Paris under late date:
Extraordinary pains are now taking,
in and around the Palace of The Fuil .
Ieries, to protect the person Of Louis
Philippe. The sentinels are now doubled
and their boxes so contrived as 10 give
them view Of every thing passing in
any direction in the adjacent neighbor-
hood. Accommodation has been made
within the palace, for double the usual
number Of soldiers; in fact, it will be as
crowded as a garrison. Before this, the
vicinity of the palace was crowded with
soldiers. Go where you would, there
were six or seven grim looking soldiers
with fixed buyonets and loaded muskels.
When the now arrangements are com
pleted, it will be impossible to walk a
dozen wards near tho Tuilleries, without
meeting as many soldiers as, in England,
would be employed to pit down a riot. :
But tho Parisians with ali their brag Of
Independence, are completely soldier,
riddan-aye, and rough ridden toom

in purchasing some vsnsl but influential poiti-
