The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have c l r ed since our last, containing intelligence of E7 eater variety and interest than usual. on Wednesday the Kim" presided at a Cabinet c o uncil, which sat for four hours; and next day the peke of RICHELIEU and the Russian Ambassador bad along conference with the Duke of WELPHOTON. A body of 6000 Prussians have passed through Frankfort, on their way to the left bank of the Rhine. A part of these troops, it is said, are to do duty at iii-la -Chapelle during the sitting of the ensuing congress. Prior to the meeting of this Congress, conferences, it is said, will take place at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, between several of the Ministers of the principal Powers. • • • Letters have been received from Bac.hgevt, in Wallachia, dated the 17th of May, stating that an earthquake has destroyed the great and figurishing city of Phllipopoli, in Romania. The population of eat city amounted to 70,000 persons. It is Stated to have been entirely swallowed up in the subternicous : by i s, and that a trace of it is sought in vain ; bet fie exact date of this disastrous event is not men tionti, and therefore some doubts may be entertained the truth of it. Me celebrated Baron THVOUT died at Vienna on ce t.5:11 of May, in his BSd year. tie was not of vble extraction, and owed his rise in life entirely to 1i: own personal merit. The festivities at Stockholm, on the occasion of tie accession of the new Ka se of Swzoax, have teen of the greatest brilliancy. On the 28ei the KINO gr,e a grand Ball. The Deputies of the Army af tmards invited his Majesty to a Camp repast, and r.re a fete to the troops assembled. The Officers :sired, in front of the head-quarters, two triumphal clumns, which were decorated by colours taken iron the enemy. Ou one of the co limns was in gribed—a To our King crotoned by victory," and on the other, " To thefuture Conqueror r On the 25th the lama gave a gratuitous represea- Irian at the Opera, the interior of which was most. t;:endidly decorated. The Spanish Minister gave, tr the day after, a fete at his Hotel ; and the other Ministers were in succession to follow his example'. The Russian Minister at Constantinople has bad new conferences with the Turkish Ministry on the subject of the affsirt of Servia, and the indemnities claimed by Russia, but still without comirig to an ratisfactory arrangement. LXECUTION OF TUE ASSASSINS OF POMMES. Justice at length is satisfied and 'society avenged. On the .1d of June, at half-past ten at night, the Eines Procurator to the Tribunal of First Instance cc libi, received by Estafette the sentence of the (out of Cassation, dated the 30th of May last, inich rejected the appeal of the condemned. The sentence affirms, as the grounds for rejecting the ap- Ted, that the forms of law have been religiously e:erved in every point by the Court of Assizes. On the morning of the Sd the military guards ve.-e doubled, and every measure of vigilance and Fecaution taken for putting in execution on that day, the sentence of condemnation. At eleven o'clock,, is hissier, Cussac, arrived at the prison of St. Cecilia. The names of Bastide, of' Jeanie's, and of Uwe!, resounded through the vaults, 'and each of ilea came forward, loaded with chair.s, and with his Inds tied behind his back. They *ere still ignorant ithe evens in which they were so much interested ; aneared torn with inquietude and fear; the Lissier read to them the sentence which rejected their 4Peal. This done, they were immediately separa ted, and each of them locked up alone in a dungeon, tilt a guard to keep consent watch till the dread- IA moment arrived. Jaussion :hewed snore calmness and migration than could have been believed; Bas tide seemed much cast down, that audacity, that courage, which he had shewn during the trial, -quite Szsook him; Collarn wept bitterly, protested his in toconce, and still spoke of his dear Anne Benoit, r. a, on her part, was occupied with nothing but the Lee of her unfortunate Canard. MM. Chatard and Rivieres, the chaplains of the risen, rnved iti a few minutes afterwards to aduzi e.,.er to the wretched criminals the spiritual comfort their august ministry. Bride and Jaussion intermptupted the discourse tlreued to them, and desired that a Notary might le 'mf?r, to take down their last will and receive itraia new confessions. The law has, in its wise *eat, required that Magistrates able to discover e. :lC'23 of great crimes, and to secure the punish : 'flheni, shall join to such se r vi c e s th e use f u l ‘ 7 .!of olle , :ting the last thoughts and last confes -14 of criminals. M. Pagan, Counsellor of the Court, charged with this office, repaired at Netted ; to the prison; he employed every effort 4 : 9 :tain from the 111 - .lllppy men about to pay the of tlrir lir.% a confcclion of the horrible crime were coavicl.a. Addrezing hiur, f to Jaussion, he invited him in the name of that SO VEREIGN JUDGE before whom he was so soon going to appear, not to conceal the truth, since imposture would only add to his crime, without possibly ward ing off the punishment. Jaussion only replied that _ _ . he suffered innocently, and that for the honour of his family he trusted they would take a solemn record of his protestations. Bastide answered in nearly the same terms. Collard protested his innocence with equal constancy. The Magistrates withdrew, without being able to obtain any thing satisfactory to justice. The worthy Chaplains were then again introduced, and, during the preparations for the execution, continued in earnest communion with the- prisoners. At three o'clock two strong detachments of troops arrived on the spot where the execution was to take place, while another party of military was stationed in front of the prison. Shortly after, the horse gendarmerie rode up to the prison gates, and took charge of all the avenues from it. At last, at half-past four, the criminals issued from the prison, and were placed upon the fatal cart. Bastide, Collard, and Jaussion were in the middle. The two Chaplains seated them selves one at each end of the cart, and exhorted the wretched men with a zeal which drew tears from the spectators. Holding in their hands the sign of our redemption—in the name of that GOD who died upon the cross—they spoke to them of resignation—they invited them to repent—and shewed them the eternal gates ready to open for their reception. The crimi nals kept constantly protesting their innocence. Bastide and Collard were dressed as they were at the trial—their heads were uncovered. Jaussion wore a different dress: before issuing from his cell, he had taken off his hose, and on coming out, hand ed them to the jailor, with a request that they might be conveyed to his family. Arrived at last at the place of execution, they be trayed at first a movement of horror and affright at the sight of the dreadful apparatus of death. Jaus sion mounted first upon the scaffold with a good deal of resignation—Collard was borne upon it in nearly a fainting state ; Bastide followed with firmness, and submitted to his fate without complaining. Before submitting his head to the fatal stroke, Jaussion invoked HEAVEN and men—he said that faith ought to be given to the asseverations of one who was on the point of death—that his last words ought to he sacred—and that he died an innocent man. lie appeared at the same time greatly agitated. The execution lasted only a few minutes; an im mense crowd of spectators were witnesses of the aw ful scene. Not a cry escaped them ; they respected humanity at the sight of those who, by their crimes, had violated it most. Anne Benoit was exposed on the market-place at ten o'clock, and branded with the letters T. P.—She wept bitterly during the whole time, and kept con stantly calling on the name of Collard. FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT. From the instant that the news of the rejection .of the appeal began to circulate, the celerity with which the Authorities pursued their operations, was such that the public had scarce time to ascertain whether they should believe it or not. before it was confirmed by the sight of the awful apparatus of death. Then the whole people of the city, who seemed to hate entirely forgotten the convicts since the day of their condemnation, were no longer occupied with any thing else but the thought of their latter moment the fate of their families, and especially the dep'ora ble situation of the two widows of Bustiie and of Jaussion, who are still at Albi. In place of the prc. fottnd indignation which animated them at the sight of assassins, nothing now prevailed but one common .feeling of interest and compassion. Before laying his head on the block, Jaussion ex claimed, with a weak voice, " I die innocent of the assassination of Fualdes—the day will come when you. will no longer reproach my children with being the children of an assassin—l recommend myself to the 'prayers of all the good." Collard repeated when dying, what he never ceased to affirm in prison—that Bastide was the_ cause of his ruin. Bastide, on descending from the cart, had scarce ' seen the axe whey his strength almost entirely failed him; he would have fallen back if he had not been supported. Conducted on the scaffold, he only reco vered his senses to be afflicted with the remembrance of his family. "What will my family say !" he exclaimed. He fell under the guillotine, and a movement of hor ror spread itself through the crowd of spectators. French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 73 fr. 40 c.

This morning, at an early hour, the carpenters and workmen commenced erecting the Hustings i• Covent Garden, for the approaching Election Westminster. It seems an offer has been made by an electicnrrr. ing Gentleman *of Hull, of the votes of a large num ber of Burgesses to Sir F. I3URDETT, if he would st for Hull. The reply of the Hon.

The Gentleman, after vari, *attempts, contrived to put a question, as to certai! principles entertained by one. of the persons whc pretensions were so vigorously supported. This led an answer which produced not alone a comparison 'claims, but an argument on both sides so warm, tit; from words the wranglers of to pushing, and from pushing to actual blows.
