PHILADELPHIA, May 18.

From the Aurora.

It will give an idea of the party which now prevails in Paris, to mention, (and this can be done on the authority of the Paris prints) that those citizens who choose to dress in a plain manner and without powder, are insulted in the streets by the Messieurs, who side with Tallien and Freron. The leaders of the faction now uppermost in the Convention, are remarkable only for their peculations and profligacy; their reign will therefore not be long. But while contending factions impelled by private motives, thus disgrace the hall of the Convention by their scandalous proceedings the real pilots of the state digest in secret retirement the plans which, independent of the conduct of intriguers and political gladiators, will conduct the vessel of state to the harbours of peace and political happiness. Every person who has followed the course of European politics, thro' the French revolution, will recollect the name of the Abbe Sieyes, and something of his political sentiments. It will be remembered, that against the opinion of Thomas Paine, he maintained, that an extensive territory could be governed but by a monarch. This man, Robespierre saved (with many others) to make a tool of his talents, but never trusted him further than in digesting the details of plans of which the outlines and principles were laid down. This man, the present ruling party have placed in the Committee of Public Safety, a situation of primary importance. This fact is a useful commentary on the views and principle of that party. The known enmity between Tallien and his party, and Barrere, Billaud and their adherents, has induced us to give more implicit belief to the account of the execution of the latter than, upon reflection. In days. The account is from the Sun, a ministerial London Paper, which gives it on the authority of a vessel arrived from Havre, having left that port on the 19th March. We have direct accounts from the same place to the 13th March, and not a whisper of the kind has reached us thro'the direct channel. Besides, the event is said to have taken place the 11th; it must, if that had been the case, have been known at Havre undoubtedly before the 15th, and then the arrival here must have brought us the intelligence. Besides, it was not to be expected, that the trial of the accused members would have been so speedily gone thro'. They were indicted on the 2d of March; many parts of the mal administration of which they were accused, related to the departments, where the proofs were to be procured, and from the professed moderation of their enemies, it is likely that they would not be judged summarily, but be allowed at least the form of a regular trial. These circumstances, and the doubtful authority of the Sun, would lead us to conclude the account unfounded in fact, tho'probably only premature.
