PARIS, Jan. b8. --The Government will soon strike a blow at the Royalists. It is reported on excellent authority that there is now ample evidence of a Royalist conspir- acy and that arrests will be made at an early date. The conspiracy has been hatched in London and Madrid, and the Count of Paris, instead of having been es- pecially close in expenditure of late for the Royalist cause, has been unusually lavish. He is not himself managing any details, butllislearling representatives are more active than ever. Royalist influence and funds have had much to do with the recent activity in revolutionary circles in Paris, and it is reported that much of the applause of the extremists at the Tivoli Vauxhall was furnished by paid Royalist elacgners. Tho Royalist plan appears to be to over- throw the Republic by some means, 310 matter what those means are, and promote disorder in hopes that the French people will turn to the Count of Paris or the Duke of Orleans for rescue or protection.
