OllterSymptoms of Commotion in France Paris, according to accounts received du ring the week through Various channels of high refpeftability, to which much credit is attached, is in a (late of serious agitation and fcr ncnt. The Anti-Diredoiial party has acquired flrength and confidence from the recent disasters fultained.by the army of Republic in Italy and on the Rhine. Ihe , advocates of Government demand that the the people await with patience the optra t ions of their Fleet, from which some lplen did achievement is promised ;on the iflue of thi» enterprise the existence of the present tyranny depeu.ds. Deserters from the army in great numbers flock to all parts of the Republic, ai d carry with them terror and dismay. To palliate their desertion, they reprcient the fixation of affairs more d«rf perate than it is ; and the silence of the Go vernment giving a degree of warranty to their statements, a general panic pervades the country to such extent, in fact, that early in the present month it was generally believed in Paris, that the entire of Italy was in the hands of the Allies.
