PARIS, March 10.

No sooner is the spirit of insurrection quelled in one province, than it appears in another with redoubled mischief. Blois and the circumjacent towns are a prey to all the horrors attendant on fanaticism. The ex-prelate will, in despite of the law, continue in the see; the priests and devotees of both sexes identify themselves by the crosier and mitre; they inflame the minds of the more ignorant, and are ingenious in fomenting discord, and breathing execration against the proceedings of the Assembly. Comte De La Tour, known by his unmilitary exploits at Biort in Alsace, which place he was obliged to quit, is now at Metz; he was the person commissioned by the Prince of Conde, to ask the elector for the use of his palace at Worms—it is very generally imagined that M. Artois, M. de Calonne, and the chief of the French fugitives will soon meet there.

The King is now considered to be the most decidedly for the New Constitution every act of his goes to prove it; and so convinced are the National Representatives of what we advance, that yesterday, when it was in agitation to know whether or not the administrator of the public treasure should be named by the King, it was decreed in the affirmative.

It is somewhat singular that Britons, who come to France to view the Aurora of liberty, soon become wedded to the aristocratic principles—we know many who, at home, are columns of the opposition, but are here friendly to the unpopular cause.

The King lies dangerously ill. The late troubles have altered the state of his health: He spits blood and has a most violent cough. He is confined to his bed.
