Letters from Paris of the 27th of January bring advice, that at five in the morning, some officers of the city watch, pursuant to the orders they had received in the night, repaired to the houses of sixteen members of the parliament of Paris, that had resigned their places, and served them with letters-de-cachet, exiling them to various towns, with an injunction to set out in twenty four hours ; in which interval they were not allowed to stir out of doors, nor to see any body but the persons of their household : The officers were charged to stay with them till the moment of their departure, and to accompany them sixty miles on the road from Paris ; after which they were to let them proceed to the respective places of their exile. The whole town is alarmed at this affair, and all the lawyers, as well as the people, are so disconcerted, that the grand chamber of the parliament can get no attornies nor advocates to bring any causes before it.
