Last night all the Royal Family, with the excep tion of his Majesty, proceeded to a most brilliant fete, given by-Lord Wellington at his hotel. More then LOW persons were present, =one w hom were the Ambassadors, Ministers, several Marshals, Ge nerals, and Officers of the King's Household. The Princes remained to a late hour at this fete. The Duchess of Beni danced with grace and admirable. agility. The King returned from Trianon at ten o'clock last night. The Emperor of Austria bas conferred on the celebrated Canova, the Cross of the Imperial Order of Leopold. The King has granted pardon to all deserters from the navy, as a further mark of grace and favour, in honour of the marriage of the Duke and Duchess 01 Berri. TRIAL OF GENERAL GILLY. The General stood accused of betraying the cause of the King in the month of April, 1815, and with having attacked bit troops, interrupting their retreat in the Department of the Gard, upon the return of Bonaparte. A number of documents were read in evidence, among which was a Memoir of the accused, dated the 25th July, protesting that his whole con duct bad been influenced by a desire to prevent the miseries of civil war, and protect the established Go. •ernment, and concluding, by declaring, that he waited without any anxiety the decision of his Judges. However, he did not think fit to remain in the place from which he had dated his Memoir. The Council, after hearing the Rampinur in sup port of the prosecution, unanimously declared the General Guilty—lst, of Treason and revolt against the legitimate Government ; 2d, of having attacked the legitimate Government with his army, and di rected the troops, which he had induced to revolt, against those commanded by the Duke d'Angouleme. In consequence, he was condemned to death: Gene ral Gilly is absent. The Council of War will be next occupied with the case of General Drouet d'Erlon. ASSIZE COURT OF PARIS. This day commences the trial of the sot-tfizant pa triots of ISI6. The prisoners are 28 in number, and one of them is a female. The following are their names and descriptions : Pleignier, aged 35, currier ; Carbonnean,3l, writ. ing-raaster • Tolleran, 30, engraver ; Charles, 66 , printer; Li:franc. .55, formerly an architect; Victoire l Mayette, ‘.:7, wife of Picard, a boot-maker ; Des baunes, 30, officer of cavalry, ex garde-du-corps of Monsieur; Dervin, 39, formerly innkeeper; the three brothers Ozere, public writers at the Palace of Jos. tice ; Sourdon, 34, ex-usher, poet, and singer at the Montansier Coffee-house during the Usurpation ; Descubes, 30, Chief of Battalion ; Gonneau, 57, land-owner and ex-Representative of the Chamber of Bonaparte; Bellaguet, a clerk in the war-office; Bonnassier, 22, a boot.maker ; Dietricht, 59, a Ger man tailor ; Lebrun, 24, shawl-painter; Bonnassier, sea. 51, hair-dresser; Phillippe, dealer in brandy; Warta, 22, ex-clerk in a merchant's counting-house ; Lascaux, 26. student in medicine; Lejeune, ex-Lieu tenant of Douanes ; Drouot, 51, svinemerchant ; Houteau, 40, florist; Cartier, 44, retired officer; Gar tier, 55, cotton-spinner Planson, 58, jeweller. The following facts appear from their act of accu sation, drawn up by M. Vandoeuvre, substitute of the Attorney-General:—ln February last, certain Ines, already known by their seditious spirit, chiefs of the federation of 1815, and others the wrecks of the revolutionary clubs and committees, most of them of the very lowest origin, driven to crime by want, and heated, doubtless by the instigations of more impor tant personages, conceived the horrible project o 1 de. inlaying the Royal Family and overturning the Go vernment. Whatever might be the extravagance of such an enterprise, they flattered themselves with succeeding by some of those means which are not altogether without danger in the hands of audacious men who have nothing to lose. In their scheme,- their first ob jict was to appeal to all that France still contains of enemies of public, peace, and to stir up those elements of insurrection which have fermented at all epochs of our civil troubles, by concentrating movements, di recting their march, establishing a point of commu nication among the disturbers, signs of 'recognition among the agents, and all this with so much mystery as to escape the vigilance of an intelligence police. Two men, the obscurity of whose condition seemed likely to screen them from suspicion, Pleignier, a currier, and Carbonneau, a writing master, ,took upon them the menthe part. Pleignier's affairs were desperate, and Carbonneau was in a state a the most abject poverty. These men devoted day and night to their criminal machinations. They settled that cards of a particular form should be made for the purpose of distribution among their associates, as a sign of recognition and a measure of their numbers; and that a sort of address and proclamation should be printed with the view of exciting and obtaining the co-operation of all the enemies of the Royal au• thority. The cards and copies of the proclamations were to have a stamp, inscribed with the words Union, Elonigur, Pie; and it was resolved that the associates should take the name of Patriots of 1816. Tolleron, an engraver, whom Carbonneau had own as Secretary of the Federation, and who was ,ested in August 1815 as one of the most seditious nin the capital, was called in to their assionce, he engraved the stamp, forwbich he received 65 francs. Cards were then made, an d the One of the ' flambe's opined with the member 2001, to give the co ns plfi t cy rester credit. About 10,000 cards were darearo off, and more than 5000 distribued with in , credible zeal and precaution. The Palais Royal, the Change, the coffee-houses, the Warns, places of de bauchery, of procitution , all the p oints of meeting of the sedkions, the discontented, and the idle, besides various private houses, served as so many depots for the cards, from whence they passed into the most impure and dangerous bands which the capital contains. A Proclamation was next drawn up, and the pri soner Chailei who bad been printer to the federation, was employe d to print it. Charles got the types corn. posed, and sent the MONO" to them in this state ; but , for want of a printing press, they employed two 'boards in tho operation, and threw off one thousand copies, of which more than 500 were distributed. 116 manifesto was entitled "Secret Organization of the Patriots of 1816," and every copy bore the im pression of the stamp of the Association. Among various passages, which respect for the King prevents us from repeating, we shall only cite the following, which admit of a just and terrible application to the accused :—" To leave crime unpunished, is to au thorize it." Farther on we read—ss We will no longer endure traitors .amongst us s if any one is found, woe to him l His doom is pronounced—its execution shall be quick as lightning." " We are impenetrable," add the conspirators ; " we are to be found no where, and yet are every where," &c. These manifestoes, preceded or followed by inh uming writings and •the most absurd reports. excited a dangerous ferment in the minds of the multitude, 'and awakened in the hearts of the seditious the most guilty hopes. But among the latter there were many who, though the manifestoes were explicit enough on the subject of civil war and the destruction of th e Royal Family, still thought wanting a more formal explanation of the ultimate object ot the enterprise, and as to the person whom it was wished to raise to the throne. This became the subject of various ob jections addressed to Picard, the wife, by an Officer on half pay, named Desbaunes. This woman, whose house was a depot for the manifestoes, and who was distinguished by her zeal, communicated to Desbaunes a nete which emanated from Pleignier and Carbon neau, and which left no uncertainty as to the object of the conspiracy. 'This note was discovered among the papers of Desbaun.i, and is to the following effect : " In reply to the observations of some of our bre thren, who wish to know the object of our operations, and what 'may he their result, we answer as follows: 1. " That our object is national independeb.w, as we announced la our Address. a. " That we wish now to terminate the zevtliiadon by Ph" ranteeing for ever against the horrors of anarchy. kr. [Hare the overthrow of the kgitistategovernmeot is proposed.] a. "That we have cast our eyes on Napoleon 11. and that kb him whom we invite to the Throne, on condition that the Re gency shall accept, in his name, the Constitution which shall be produced by the Representatives of the Nation, and the violation of one single ankle of which shall render him unworthy to reign. It would be absurd to suppose that the establishment of a Re public was meant. Has it not been proved to a demonstration that it cannot suit us? (Signed) 44 C. one ot the Secret Organizers. " P.S. Thep:trete/04h may accord us a confidence as Freon, as that which we ask of them ; and we this moment swear rather to perish than abandon tile cause of those who have pronounced the death of the tyrant, and the extinction of his family." The Act of Accusation then details the various meetings which the conspirators hehl at alehouses. At one of these, in the rue Chapon, Tolleron said that many persons. believed to be in Germany, were then concealed in Paris; that the object of the plot was to get possession of the Thuilleries, to put to death the Royal Family, and to establish a Provi sional Government, of which the heads were a)ready designated, and ready te come forth ; then to make an appeal to the people, to know whether they would wish a republic, or a monarchy under Napoleon 11. and that the success of the enterprise was the more certain, because the three parties known among the Patriots appeared to unite in favour of Napoleon 11. Sufficiently correct knowledge was obtained of the localities of the Thuilleries; and in a meeting held on the 26th of April, the plan of insurrection was agreed upon. It was planned to bein the attack by the ex plosion of a mine under the Ihuilleries, by means of from 18 to 20 barrels of gunpowder, which were to be introduced through the aqueduct emptying itself at the foot of the Pont Royal. Oa the same occasion, an estimate was given of the - force which could be brought to contribute to the execution of the plot, of the federates, who might be armed, and the military who might be seduced. The next meeting of the conspirators, fixed for the 2d of May, did not take place, for the Police having bad for some time in their hands all the palpable threads of the conspiracy, thought that the moment was come when it should be put an end to, and ac cordingly they arrested the 28 individualsnotibrought to trial. One of the signs by which the conspirators recognized each other was, when they shook hands, to place some of their fingers in a position resemble ing the letter N. The act of accusation then gives an abstract of the examination which each prisoner underwent when 1, taken into custody ; but the preceding details give a sufficient view of the substance of the charge. , ALGHIERI, (SARDINIA) JUNE IL Four feluccas, two of which are French, having on board many unfortunate Christians who escaped the massacre of Bone, have arrived in our port. It is impossible to form any conception of the deplorable state in which they have performed this voyage; pursued as they were by the pirates, it is an additio nal wonder that they have reached this place without accident. A great number of feluccas sunk from being overloaded by the crowds of persons who rushed on board, and whom it would have been cruel to have driven back. Several passengers on board the St. Theresa died in consequence of the fright which they had received. Two armed cutters and a pink have been sent, out to meet the unhappy wretches who are seeking their safety in flight.. The militia are all called out, and will do duty on the coast in the most regular manner. Several ves sels are building at Cagliari for the purpose of form ing a squadron; but it-is not ships that are wanting, as we could at the present moment send a flotilla to sea. No vigorous measures are adopted. We us. not tell why the frigates yrbieb are in the poet Of Go. noa are not cruising off our coast. We have in wee waters several French sbipi from Toulon and Mu- teaks. tt k to be hoped that ill time Meet will reduce the 'Lobar/ Powers to such a state of deOn deuce as will secure the commerce of the Southern provinces of Europe: The English might apt. a glorious part, if ,they but choose it : they would be considered as the deli. verers of the seas. They have found mesas to pro. tect the mouths of the Cattarn, the lonian Islands, the coast of Malta ; and they would have bad no more difficulty in preserving the coasts of Italy from the daily devastations to which they are sut•ject.;— The system which they have adopted alienates all minds from them, and is confidently attributed to some political object. Time will perhaps shew what is at the bottom of it. ILw la ane men and .HAMBURGH MAIL. FROM THR MAINE, JUNE is. His Majesty the King ofjorurtemburg h indis posed at Ludwigsburgh. It is said that M.

PETERSBURGH, JUNE 6. - - The Emperor has made the Russian Bible Asso ciation a present of a large house, four stories high, solidly built of stone, and lying in one of the finest parts of the city, near the Imperial Summer Garden.

FRANKFORT, JUNK 19. - Since the late energetic Declaration of the States of Wurtemburgh, of the 12th Jane, many people look with eager expectation to the further course of events in that kingdom. It is wholly unfounded that the difficulties between the Government and the States are removed, as some Journals have reported. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 1, 1816. .

We have the satisfaction to announce the arrival in London of the Duke of WELLINGTON. His Ex cellency landed at Dover yesterday morning about ten o'clock from the Lord Duncan passage-vessel from Calais, and immediately set off for London, where be arrived last night. The arrival of his Grace being quite unexpected, but few persons were assembled on the Beach at Dover, but those few, the moment he was recognized, greeted him with three hearty British cheers. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday the trial commenced of 28 individuals, accused of a conspiracy to over , throw the Government: they called themselves the Patriots of 1816. They were detected about the period of the insurrection at Grenoble, but all notice of the affair was withheld from the public at the time. Jhe conspirators are men of the lowest de scription both in talent and character : indeed, the more immediate object of the project seems to have been merely to afford a handful of miserable beings the Means of living on the credulitfot the richer, Bonapartist:, from whom they obtained subscriptions for their laudable enterprise. General GILLY., one of Bonazaares favourite Generals, has been tried in his absence, and found guilty of treason, for the rebellion of March, 1815. There h no doubt whatever of the guilt of this per jured traitor, and yet there is a most glaring absur dity in trying him in this way. It is now understoodthat Lord kistouTH will pro ceed again immediately N the Mediterranean to chastise the Algerine and Tunisian Pirates. His Lordship will hoist his flag on board the QUERN Cuanorrs. Two frigates, now in the River on the Peace Establishment, will be paid off, in order that the men may be transferred to Bombs, several of which description of vessels will accompany his Lordship. From this circumstance, wepresume that measures of the most decisive nature will be adopted by his Lordship. It is nadestood that the PRINCE %SCENT will pro rogue the Parliament, in person, to-morrow. It is reported that a dissolution of Parliament will take place in October.

The Archipelago is infested with numerous pirates, who inhabit the Morea ; they are the direct descen. dant: of the ancient Spartans, and are joined in their predatory-.excursions by a few Albanians. They plunder indiscriminately all they meet with, and he. quently land and rob the various islands of the Archi. pelago. The Revnana, Captain Sr. CLAIR, was ' cruiziag against them for some time. She captured three epen prows, and sent them to Malta for con. demnation. Whilst the REYNARD was at Atheis, her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES arrived there from Malta, on her way to Constantinople. She afterwards intended to prdceed to Egypt. Accounts received on Saturday from Nottinehom state, that although frame-brattish% has erased fir the moment, there is yet great discontent. The wail. men and their families are going in groupes daisy into the workhouses for want of employment. The nu• nufacturers refuse to assist their wants as they for. merly did, because of their late misconduct in break as machinery. A sudden check to the circulation of the deterio. rated coin produced on Monday (17th ult.) consider. able alarm among the lower class of people in Car. marthen, •and most of the inhabitants appeared to participate in that feeling. The Mayor, and the other Magistrates of the Borough, set on foot a sutrctip• tion for the purpose of relieving the poor from the embarrassment to which a want of change must have reduced them, and on Tuesday and Wednesday about te2oo were given in exchange for the plain shillings and sixpences brought in for that purpose. A deputation of Merchants in the Quebec trek had an interview with Lord MELVILLE ' and the other Members of the Board of Admiralty, at two o'clock on Saturday. They represented to the Board, that in consequence of the seamen belonging to the mete chant vessels arrived out at Quebec having been of. feted 90s. per month to serve in his Majesty's ships on Lakes Erie and Ontario, whilst they received only 555. per month in the merchants' service, the whole of the crews had left their employ and joined she navy. No seamen could be had in North America to supply their place; and the result was, that the ships were detained at Quebec, to the great loss of the owners of the vessels and cargoes. Under these circumstances, the deputation were desirous to learn what steps Government were disposed to take in °Yet r to relieve them ? Lord MELVILLE expressed gnat concern at the inconvenience the trade to North , America had experienced by the circumstance men tinned : but his Lordship reminded the Centime. that it had invariably been the custom during pew to obtain men for his Majesty's ships of war in the Colonies by means of the merchant service. With respect to the wages given, at the rate of 9nr• per months, his Lordship was totally at a loss to explain, as only 4.55. per month were allowed by Government. If any advance was made beyoed that %um, it must have been done by way of bounty. It was inquired, of his Lordship why the men in time of peace, for the service of the navy generally, could not be procured at home instead of the colonies, by which system the trade to all quarters would be less incommoded ? To this his L .rdship replied, that the thing was impracticable. Very few hands were re• quired at home at the present moment, but even thee could not be procured by the custom of volunteering . The Gentlemen next intimated a wish to learn front his Lordship to what extent the Government wanted hands, and for what purpose they were to be r: played ? but these questions his Lordship decliad answering : be, however, assured the deputation, no time should be lost in writing out to the prort officers to allow all the accommodation to tb,e l power to the merchant vessels ; and pronsised, a.t same time , that Government would as speeds 11,.." possible send out a transport, with men, to supply deficiency of hands in North America. if GUM 11 10° Fr" her led 'Sc S. 1 gal I' aid ~a {Yst~ I i,ill 6 01 WV P k
