But their views are unmasked ; and The wisdom of that Go.ernment which they wished to mislead, has disappointed their hopes. Conscious that he i 3 not amenable to our laws for any act proved to have been committed when he was recognised as the Emperor of France by all the Powers of the Continent, and by us as the sovereign of that country , both at the Peace of Amiens, and in the negociations which took place at dif ferent times, down to the 18th of March, 1814, our Mi nisters have treated him as a prisoner of war, whose free dom is incompatible with the general interests of mankind. They have secured the world against the possibility of fu. ture dangers on his account : they have consialted the dig. nity of our national character, for " The Lion prep, not upon caraulsrp." And they lune fulfilled the ends of justice, by inflicting en the greatest of offenders the greatest of punishments —life. Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated July 29.--" The Parisians appear to have recovered from the consternation into which they were thrown by the ordonnance of the King, denouncing those who aided the momentary restoration of Bonaparte, which is attributed, with every other act of severity, not to the King's personal desire, but to the Allies. It now appears, that arrests had not taken place, in conses quence of it, to the extent, I was led to suppose. Sault ha addressed a memorial to the King, in explanation of his con duct, which has proved far from satisfactory; and Ney has it is said, succeeded in obtaining for himself a degrading im punity. His reputation, indeed, is hacked and trampled upon by all parties with merciless abhorrence ; but if these men vere to be tried by a military commission, according to the military code of Bonaparte, there could be little donbt of their acquittal. The French do not seem to feel much in- terest for the fate of Bonaparte, whether from the total ab sorption of their feelings in their own distress, or from his loss of reputation since his return from Elba. Ile has lost Lis reputation with the multitude, and even with the army, since his defeat. But still, as far as I have been able to col lect, the opposition to the King's Government is far from being weakened by the fall of Bonaparte ; on the contrary, it may, perhaps, have gained strength. The ceremony of the Champ de Mai has given a new jacohinicalimpulse through the country. Even in the French army, the cry of rive la Libcrle, has been much more frequent than rice an/pew/P. But all Frenchmen do justice to the wise and paternal con duct of the King. From the Paris Papers nothit b , can be known of the real state o f P ar i s . It i s generally understood that the King is dissatisfied with the measures of the Allies, and that he is perpetually assailed by the discontented intri w.tcrs about his person. lie is about to complete and con r,olidate his administration, now that the arrangements be tween him and the authorities of the Allied Powers arc distinctly settled. It is reported that Marshal Davoust, when he arrives in Paris, will be received by the King. The Fiend' army will not, it is said, be disbanded.

To his Excellency Prince Talleyrand, Paris, July 24. (From the Gazette Offieidle of the lot instant.) The first Ordinance in this paper is dated V9th July. and direet4, that those persons who were removed, or who retired from their functions, whether civil or military. o►► account of the events %Oki., took place on the loth of March, and from that time till the 7111 et July, are to receive an indemnity equal to half the emolomeins which they would have derived front their offices during the time they were interrupted. Those wits accompanied the King, as they continued to perform their duties, are to receive their full salatie•. The payer the functional ics appointed by Buonaparte is suspended, and not to be renewed under any circumstances unless they are con tinued in their offices. The other Ordinances in this paper are quite uninteresting, as they relate to matters of minor financial regulation, and to the further qualifications required for the hianbera of the Electorate Colleges in each department.

GENTLEMEN - Your relations with one embrace tw•o great objects, the establishment of public order and the pacification of the kingdom.

Thus his Majesty has kft the punishment of crimes and treasons to the laws ; and that suspicion might not be extended, he has been pleased to designate the accused and so limit their number& There is then security for all; no ground, no pretext for disquietude or irritation is left to malevolence. All things in their existing state arc under the guarantee of the law and the iegis of a Monarch whq wishes to be the father of all Frenchmen. " Stability is the first object of his Majesty's attention, and of the measures which he has prescribed to his Ministers. Every sort a reaction, befog subversive of stability, would be a crime. It would disturb the tranquillity of the State by destroying all confidence. " While bending under the weight of Europe, united astainst 41% ambition of which we were the tiest victims, let us at least have tbe consolation, that not another drop of blood nor a tear shall be shed which can be imputed to us.
