The Paris Papers of the 16th and 17th have ar rived since our last, and their contents are more than usually important. The secrecy which has been so studiously observed by the French journals respecting the late conspiracy, is at length broken. The actual existence of the conspiracy, and the arrest of certain individuals as cmcerned in it, arc now facts admitted, and admit ted of course under the sanction of the Government itself, without whose assent no such admission could appear. Among the subjoined extracts our Readers will find a demi-official article on the subject, which, though somewhat vague in its terms, is yet suffi• ciently clear to leave no doubt as to the general accuracy of the rumours which have been afloat. The explosion of the plot appears to have taken place on the 2d instant, when warrants of ar::•st were issued against General CANUEL, Major-Gene val CHAPDELAINE, SONGY, a Staff °film, Ro latr.mr, a Chief of Battalion, and some valets ; and it was, on the same day, (as our Readers will find on referring to the Swot of the Gth), that our Private Correspondent at Paris wrote to us, commu nicating the first accurate intelligence which was re ceived, and published in England of this event. The Paris Journalists, or rather the French Ministers who' dictate to them, agreein their estimate of the pleit,with the sentiments which have been almost universally expressed here on the subject—they state it to be an affair which dt appears as hateful in itself as it was ridiculous inits object and means of accomplishment." The Duc di !tacos/. has published a letter to the Duc de IticncLixe, wherein he strongly reprobates the conduct of those functionaries at Lyons, against whom many of his own measures in the administra ;ion of his extraordinary mission were directed, and explicitly" guarantees the truth of every assertion - made by Colonel Faavixa, in which General CA ` swat, and others of the same political pa,rty were im plicated. The Duc de RAGUSA demands a strict in vestigation into the whole case. PARIS, JULY 16. A process has been going on during the lust ten or twelve days agaihst the Sicurs Chapdelaine, a re tired Major-General ; Songy, formerly a Stag-Offi cer; Romilly, a Chief of Battalion; and one Joannis, who were arrested on the 2d inst. by order of the Juge d'iustruction. /Codling has transpired as to the tesult of an' . iffair which appears as hateful in it self as it is: ridiculous in its object and means of ac- complishment. It is stated, that Canuel, against whom an order had been issued, has not again made his appearance at home since the above parties were taken up: and the Officers of Jus tice, on repairing to his house, placed a seal upon , the papers he left behind him. Seve ral witnesses have been examined. Nothing can better prove the 'little importance which is attached to this affair, or rather the little fear which has been created by the presumed authors of a plot as ridiculous as criminal, who we suppose to be now pursued by the vigilance of Justice, than the progressive rise of the Public Funds, which were to-day at '7B francs. An error was committed in most of the public Jour nals of the 25th of June last, in'the inseition of a no. tice relative to the oppositions to be entered against the claims of the subjects of foreign Government& The delay of one month granted for the declaration of the grounds of opposition, was stated as expiring on the 9th of July ; but this term only applies to the claims included in the special Convention concluded on the c2.sth April, between France and Great Bri tain. In consequence, all persons who have pro tests or declarations to make against the claims of .the subjects of all the Governments mentioned in the `7th article of the Convention, concluded on the same day between France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, will continue to apply to the Secretary of the Commission, Rue du Bac, No. 88, every day from ten until 'three. Notice will be given of the period wised the delay fixed by the 9th article of the same Convention will expire. The Duke of Wellington left Paris yesterday mor ning at six o'clock. Yesterday Count de Forbin, Director of the Mu seum, had a private audience of the King upon his return from the Levant. The Court will go into mourning, on Friday nest, for twenty-one days, in consequence of the decease of her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Sweden and Norway—full mourning for the first eleven days, and half mourning for the rest. M. de la Ferte, Intendant-General of the Kiag's Privy Purse, arrived in Paris on the 13th instant. It will be recollected, that he was commissioned by the First Lord of the Bedchamber to present to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England the full-length portrait of his Majesty Louis XVIII. The Prince Re gent received this fine present with the most pro- found sensibility, and expressed his satisfaction to M. de la Ferte in the most flatering terms. PARIS, JULY te. The public attention continues much occupied with the arrest of Chapdelaine and his associates. A great number of witnesses have been examined, and ac cording to what is reported of the questions which have been addressed to them, the examination re- lates to certain projects. so criminal, and at the same time so insensate, that the execution of them would have been as impossible as the thought of them is re volting.--Journa/ des Maires. FRENCH FirNns, JULY 16.—Five per Cents. 77f. 30c. Bank Stock, 1635 f. FROM TIIE FRENCH FUONTIERS, JULY s. At the Head-quarters of the Army of Occupation a report is current that the Emperors of Austria and Russia and the King of Prussia will go from Aix-la- Chapelle to Paris, in case the result of their meeting should be in favour of withdrawing the Army ; and that they will afterwards review their respective con tingents, which will then immediately commence their march home. The Austrians, it is added, will march through the Bresgau, the Prussians through the Grand Duchk of Luxembourg ; the Russian troops expect to be embarked ; the Saxons will march by the shortest way to the Rhine, and the Danes through the Netherlands to their own country. A Hambnrgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 14th instant. The only interesting article of intelligence they contain, is an announcement of the return of the Emperor ALEKANDEn to St. Petcrsburgh, on the '29th ult. accompanied with the particulars of a remarkable Ukase which he has just issued, which shows that his Majesty has not been an indifferent observer of the condition of those of his subjects among whom he has been travelling. The introduction to this Ukase states, that his Ma, jesty had been informed that the peasants on some estates of the Nobility in the circle of Mosirsk int in extreme indigence, and suffered from actual famine in 1817—and that his Majesty bad therefore ordered an inquiry on the subject to be instituted en the spot. From this enquiry it appeared that the peasants, on some estates, have greatly suffered by failure of the crops, by loss of cattle, by want of horses for husbandry, and other misfortunes ; so that they had been driven to the necessity of mixing beans, straw, and leaves of the lime•tree with their bread; that the Land-owners not only shewed little regard to their wretched condition, but oppressed them by ex treme labour, and by various acts of injustice— not allowing them time to cultivate their own land ; requiring from them far more hemp and tow than the raw material given them would produce; forbid ding them to grind their own corn, to sell their own produce at pleasure, or making them pay for per mission to do so; obliging them to take much more salt from the owners of the estates than they wanted, and at a far higher price than they might have ob tained it elsewhere. The Ukase proceeds to state, that the necessary measures have already been taken to prevent such oppressive proceedings in future; and that the Magistrates have been instructed.-.first, If in the village of any Land-owner or Crown Tenant these is not sufficient corn for clic support of die peasants for the year and for seed, the landowner and crown tenant (arrendators) shall supp'y the peasants with corn from their own inagazines, or if they have none, shall purchase it. 2dly, If a peasant has no cattle, the landowner shall have his ground tilled, and let this work be done by all the peasants, de ducting this work from the days they have to work for the landowners. If the landowners shall be found negligent in providing the peasants vith corn, the estates shall be taken from them, and placed under the administration of the GGvernment. The Ukase, besides these, cciatains numerous other humane regulations for the protection of the Peasmas from oppression, and adds another to the many proofs already given of the benevolent and paternal views by which the whole domestic pc:icy of th enlightened Prince is directed. ' A Flanders Mail arrived last night, and one from Holland this morning. The Cnowx PRINCE of BA VARIA has, by a solemn Act, declared his accession to the Representative Constitution established by his father.—The Emperor FRANCIS has, on the repre sentation of the Aulic Council, abolished all the re strictions that existed in the old Atisttian Provinces relative to the exportation of corn. In another column our Readers will find an inte resting Report of the proceedings of a General Con vention of Representatives from the Royal Burghs of Scotland, assembled at Edinburgh on the 15th Instant. The Convention, it may be necessary to inform our English Readers, is a legally re:ognized body, of great antiquity, and has been at diffezent times, as it is now likely again to be, of very consi derable utility. The question which was at issue before it at this last meeting resolved itself virtually into tlds—Whether the Convention has the power of itself to alter, amend, and reform the Constitution of any Burgh, upon cause shewn by any number of the Burgesses—or whether such alteration and re form can only be effected as was done in the late case of the Burgh of Montrose, by the authority of the King and Council? According as this question is determined depends. the important consequence, ' whether the reform for which so many of the Burghs of Scotland have forsome time past been contending shall be effected through the medium of Representa tives from the. Burghs themselves, when there is every reason to Lklieve the reform would he as speedy as'it would be general? or whether reform shall only be obtained through the medium of the Crown, which is at all times naturally, and we may even add, con stitutionally opposed to every thing in the shape of innovation. The decision of the Convention is, that they have the right—but only when all parties interested apply to them to exercise it.— Even this, however, is a great deal—it establishes a principle which we feel entitled to congratulate the people of Scotland upon, since, if we are correctly informed, there pre nearly one half of the Burghs in which the People are unanimously agreed in solicit ing an entire revision of the ruinous.sy stem of muni cipal government by which they arc at present en thralled.
