POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Paris papers are much occupied with the "reorganization of the Council of State." 31. Cousin, an Ordinary Councillor, having been re- moved for the alleged reason of inattenion to his duties, though attach- ment to Thiers is supposed to be the real cause, he resigned the hono- rary appointment of Extraordinary Councillor; and a correspondence has taken place between Villemain and Cousin, on the subject ; but of so little interest out of Paris, that the Times says even a brief notice
would be unacceptable to the English reader. • •
According to a communication front Bordeaux in the Time 'this morning, the French Government have obtained possession of mai* curious documents, which throw light upon the intrigues of the Northern Powers with Don Carlos. Russia appears to have been the Pretender's most steady ally. Austria and Prussia gave many promises of support,but often deceived Min. There is a long report of a conversation between a Carlist envoy and a " Northern Prince ;" in the course of which the Prince speaks freely of the duplicity of the Austrian and Prussian Monarchs, and with supreme contempt of the legitimate Bourbons and their party in France. It is said thatthese documents contain abundant evidence of the Czar's almost maniacal hatred of Louis Philippe.
