WATCHING THE ROYALISTS.
The French Government IVII1. Lay Some
of Thene by the Heels Soon.
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.
