CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL-PARIS, APRIL T. INvtawat. MACHINE.—The Criminal Tribunal of the Seine this day proceeded upon the trial of , the perfons accufed of being concerned in the af fair of the Infernal Machine, which took place on the 24th of December laffi—The prifoners were fixteen in number ; ten women, viz. Mrs. Salon and her two daughters ; the widow Goyon-Beau fort and her two daughters, Mrs. Lequillouz, Mrs. Laiveuville ; the Mitres Cice and Duquefne ; and fix men, viz. Carbon, Saint Regent Lequil loux, Beaudet, Collin, and Laivcuville Bourgeois, Cotter Saint Vigor , dward Lahaye, called Saint Hilaire Picot-Lamoelan Joyau; Songe did not ap pear, and Mrs. Jourdan, with whom St. Regent lodged, was killed by throwing herlelf from the ircafe of her lodging, when the officers went there to arreft her. All the preliminary forms being gone through, the Court proceeded to the examination of witnef fes on behalf of the profecution. Lambel, a feedfman, living in the area Melee, was the fir ft called. He faid - he knew the prifoner, Carbon, otherwiii Petit-Francois, and that he was the fame perfon who bought from him, for 200 francs, the horfe and car which drew the infernal machine to the greet Saint Nicaife. Thefe fads were admitted by Carbon ; but he Paid, in his de fence, that he only ailed under the dire&ions of Lamoelan, and was ignorant of the purpofe for which they were intended. Being interrogated, whether he had not hired a coach-houfe in Paradife ftreet for the hurfc and car, until the moment for the execution of the plot arrived ?—whether he did . not go to it feveral times in company with 1.4111 a elan and St. Regent, to make the neceffary prepa rations ?—whether he had not been at a cooper's on the 2 tit, to have four iron hoops put on a tub ? 'whether Lamoelan did not,on thenight of the a4th, in the drefs of a carman, lead that horfe and car to the gate of St. Dennis, where two men unknown took the tub from the car ?—whether they did not carry it into the flreet St. Dennis, and fhortly after return with it, apparently much more weighty in their arms, and put it again on the car, in com pany with St. Regent ?—as hether he did not then, along with St. Regent and Lamoelan, lead the car as far as the (beet, New Saint Euftache, and gather on the way the 'tones and gravel which were put under the car ? Carbon further admitted all there circumftances, but perfißed in denying that he was aware of any criminal intention ; and that he quitted Lamoelan and St. Regent, at the end of the ftreet Montmartre. The principal evidence againft the prifoner, St. Regent, was a fufpicious letter of the 2 1 11 De cember, found in his lodg7ng, figned " Gideon ;" but proved, by a comparifou of hand-writing, to have been written by Georges, the (Inman ; and, another later, found alfo in his lodging, contain ing the knowing evreffions on the fubjed of the cxplotion : The perfon who was to have executed the plan, not being properly inflo incted, was not aware of the arrival of the carriage of the Firll 0.111111, until he law it. It was not, as he had been told, preceded by an advanced guard; however he prepared to exe• cute his plan. At that moment the boric of a ier drove him againft the wall, and deranged grenadier drove him agasnft the wall, and deranged him. He returned, and tot lire to the machine; but the powder not being good, its effect was two or three feconds too late, otherwife the Fief Conful mutt have inevitably perifhed. The prifoner, St. Regent, in his defence, denied all knowledge of thefe letters, and of the circum fiances mentioned in the confeflion of Carbon. He acknowledged, however, that he was wounded by the esplofion on the 24th ; but fetid he happened ta be prefe.o by mere chance. The evidence againft the other prifoners went chiefly to prove them 2C. Ct 11:triCS after the fad, by Clewing that they had hal hound and communicated with Carbon and St. Regent, after the affair; but they appeared to be in general relatives or_ friends, ignorant that thefe men were concerned to the crime. The molt diftinguillsed of. thefe was Mademoi (elle Cice, lifter to the ei-deoent Biihop of Auxerre, , and to the ci-glevaci Archbifhop of Bourdeaux. The fpccific charge again!' her was having, at the re commendation o 1 Lamoclan, procured an afylum for Carbon, c.i having delivered him a billet from that pi-ironer, and main. ained a criminal COM& fp.g.dence with the EnliArants. Ir. her Uzi, ace (he raiti, that it was not at the reecturnendation of Lamoclan, but of anutlter, whom the refuted to name, that the procured an afylum for Carbon, not fulpeEling him guilty of any crime, but fuppofing him an unfortunate Emi grant, whole papers were not ftrielly regular. Marie Duchefuc, another of the pritoners, ad mitted that it was at the requea of Mademoilelle Cice, the received Carbon into her houfe ; but that fu far from fulpecling him to have been concerned in the attempt, the ?ring re Deum on hearing that the Fa Conful had efcapcd the infernal machine. There woe 62 witnefles examined i:: ftipport of the profccution, of whom thirty were tinflrtunate victims of the explolion, whole wounds and muti lations excited very ftrong foliations io their favour. The witneffes for the Filoners were heard on the td; Carbon and St. Iteg,ent were the only ones who did not produce any. A great number were examined on behalf of Madentoifelle CieC, who gave her an excellent charaster, and reprelented her as a model of every virtue. The Commiilioner of Government then fummed up the evidence, and concluded with obferving, that there was no evi dence againft the two Mils Goyons and the two Mifs Vellons, and that Laiveuville and wife were the only two prilbners who had jullified their con dud by their aniwers. Several advocates (poke in defence of the pri loners, and the judge fummed up.—The proceed ings took up fume days. By the papers received yelterday, we have the following account of the conclufion of the trial : PARIS, APRIL 7. At half pal/ fix o'clock, the Jury, who had been impannelled (ince one o'clock yeiterclay afternoon, returned their verdict. _ St. Regent otherwife Pierrot, and Carbon other wife the little Frenchman, were condemned to death.

Letters from the Hague, dated the zd of April Rate, that intelligence had been received of th,: failure of Admiral RAINIER'S Expedition againii Batavia, and of the Settlement being in the bell poffible fituation. It is laid, in addition to the laf accounts re fpeding the enterprize againft the ilk of Gores, that the attack was not at all of a ferious nature. Some tloops having troops on board approached for the purpofe of effecting a debarkation, but ex periencing a vigorous reliftance, the enemy fc.:m at prefeat to have given up the execution of their detiFn. Ihe embargo lately laid on the (hips in the dif ferent ports of the Batavian Republic is to continue for five days. All means are taken to afcertain the chic& which the Englifh have in view by ap proaching the Dutch mails. In cafe there fhould be no ferious danger, the veffels are then to be al lowed to proceed on their voyage. A curious circumftance occurred on the trial i the per lons accufed of the attempt of Dccembe: 24. There was produced againtt Carbon, callet . Petit Francois, a prior judgment, by which h was fentenced to 16 years confinement in irons.— He had robbed a church of a quantity of linen a nd plate, confccrated to the Catholic worthip. It was after he efcaped from prifon that the Chiefs of the Chouans, who proclaimed themfelves the fupporters of the altar and the throne, gave him a conimitlion in their troops.
