A report is in circulation, that the King of France having summoned the Parliament of Paris, surrounded them with 5 regiments of Swiss Guards, and made the whole nobility prisoners.

There is probably some truth in this report, as the foreign papers, a few days ago, announced a decisive step as likely to take place against the Parliament on the 8th of this month.

A kind of compromise is likely to take place in France, between the Prince and the Parliament. The recall of the Duke of Orleans and some mutual concessions on the part of the Ministry and the people, at least have given birth to such a temporary report.
