Since my last there has been & continual success

one shock before another aad another follows, and
the mind becomes confused and the senses weary

who say they have not confidence 10 them probs

demand also Minister Of Commerce, as well as Of
Labor Trades and Manufactures, has been estab-
llshed. The swarm Of Populations with addresses
and petitions is almost as numerous to the King
here as to the Provisional Government at Paris
and asking too for all sorts Of things. Among these
deputstions that from the Rhine provinces has had
perhaps the most influence. These provinces, the

They have now returned again. The King has

self Of every particle OF his power such and such

They mustsso be assured OF suffrage and represen-

the King has promised, and has come out in new

The city, aud consequently the country and Gov
eminent are in the hands OF Orgenized clubs Every
day there are meetings Of the different classes OF
the people from the workmen TO the proes sors
who assemble to make speeches aud mutually ex
cite each other Things in the city seem fast verg-
lag toward anarchy. II they do not already const-
ute Il. The most bitter lnvectlves against the
X ing and the Government are heard at these meet
ings and seen Ia the papers.
To me. who was here month ago the change is
most striking. Then no political subjects were
mentioned in the papers in fact, the advertise
meuts alone gave token OF their existence Every
thing WAS quiet and sober; the streets were filled
with gay equipRges and fine ladies pubic meet
ing OF citizens was an impOsslbillty. Now, the pa
pers full of articles the tunes with no lear Of
censor or police Fine carriages or ladies are seen
no longer The nobility have taken TO flight IN

the corners talking politics NeWsboys asPe-

In the public halls are meetings OF different
classes of citizens all engrossed in the one great
subject: they are not yet accustomed to public
speaking, &c, and dozen orators get exhausted
ia an hour. They keep the bail 10 motion-they
keep up agitation-they systematic It, and are
now themselves astonished with the power they
already have AS in Paris, these clubs, these
assemblages of excited people, seem TO be able to
rule the kingdom; able at any time to lntlmidate
and overthrow the Government situated IN their
center: few thousands upset the Rulers OF mil
