The arrival of our Papers of the 6th, containing the account of the detected conspiracy, is now acknowledged, and ex tracts are made from them respecting various other matters, but not a single one as to this, which of all matters, had naturally the greatest claims on the at tention of the French people. The suppression has no doubt been made under the directioti of the French Police, and may have been dictated very pro bably by a desire on the part of Ministers to make as much as they can of the defeated plot against them, by keeping it involved in as much mystery as possible ; but from whatever motives it may proceed, one thing is clear enough, namely, that had there been no con spiracy at all, there could have been no reason for not declaring 10 at once, and thereby correcting the prejudiced views which such a report is so apt to engender in the minds of foreign nations re specting the state of internal tranquillity in France, The funds in the mean time keep rising in a very remarkable manner, affording the most incontestible evidence that the conspiracy, such as it has been de tected, has not been of a nature to shake in the least the confidence entertained in the' Government by those who are most interested in its stability. On Friday the 5 per Cents. had reached 76f. 85c. The KING, whose infirm health was so much the subject of speculation some time ago, is now so re novated in health that he promenades on foot every morning as early as seven o'clock, in the little Park of St. Cloud.

RIME THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JULY & The le•+y of men, according to the law on the re cruiting, has not yet been made, but great pai ,s are taken to promote voluntary enrolments. The Colonel, of the Legion of the Departments of the North has to this end, and by order of the Minister of War, writ ten to the Mayors, and we learn that many young men have in consequence presented themselves. The same has been done with the desired success in the neighbouring departments. The artillery regiment of Douay is again quite complete. The zeal of the troops is much commended by the Officers of the Army of Occupation, who very frequently are pre- Mt at their exercises. We have received by the arrivals this morning Dutch Papers to the 11th inst. and also some Ham burgh Papers, which fill up the series of those which bad previously come to hand. The following are the oaly notices worth extracting:— MOSCOW, JUNE so. His Majesty the King of Prussia, and the Crown Prince his son, arrived on the 15th in the evening at a country seat belonging to the High Chamberlain, Prince Narichkin, in the neighbourhood of-this city, where they passed the night ; and on the 16th, at eleven in the forenoon, made their entry into the City, with his Majesty the Emperor, and their Impe rial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Con stantine.

At the above mentioned country seat, the King was received by his beloved daughter, the Grand Duchess, consort of Prince Nicholas, and in the interior of the Palace of the Kremlin by their Majesties the Empresses.

The plague still continues to rage with great viru lence at Tangier, and extraordinary precautions have been taken by the Spanish Government to prevent its extension to their territory. On the 15th of June, after a violent hail storm, there was at Moscow a heavy fah of snow, such as the oldest people do not remember to have seen at the season. We are authorised to state, that the Dissolution of Partnership which appeared in the Gazette of Satur turday, of the Firm of WILLIAMS and Co. Bankers, only relates to the retiring of Mr. MonfAT ; and that the Business will be conducted as heretofore by Messrs. WILLIAMS'S and BURGESS. A Private Letter from Paris, dated July 9, says " On Monday last, after Mass, his Royal Highness Monsieur ordered to be called into his apartments at St. Cloud, the Ministers, the Duke de Richelieu, Count de Cazes, Baron Pasquier, and M. Mole. I was informed by an Officer of the Guards who was present when these Ministers crossed the gallery, in the midst of a mifitary escort, that this conference took place with a sort of solemnity and state that has been the subject of conversation for all the idle people about the Court. The interview lasted about three-quarters of an hour. It is reported that this's was much discussion with respect to the detected conspiracy; and that his Royal Highness has him-1 self called for the utmost severity of the laws against the individuals arrested, if they are found guilty.-- The Judge of Instruction charged to pursue this affair has already drawn up the proses of Marinet and Cantillon. General Camel continues to be out of the way. He has been cited to appear before the Judge, and has not shewn himself. Besides the pet sons apprehended, m many others have received sum monses to appear in order to undergo interrogatories. A secret press, and characters necessary for print ing, have been found and seized in a solitary house in Rue Fontaine au Roi in the Marais. According to report, it is the secret printing office of ..he party. One still meets with some incredulous persons, who affect to deny the existence of this conspiracy.— They are the same as those who affect to doubt the existence of the Memorial of the Ultra-royalists to the Allied Powers. But, to every impartial and well-informed person, the Memorial and the conspi racy are the work of the same authors, and the one has been evidently a consequence of the other.—The Duke of Wellington dined the day before yesterday with the King, and a few days before with the Mi nister of Police. It appears certain that his Grace will , be present at the assembly of Aikla-Chapellei QHAIRLVG OF SIR FRANCIS BURDETT- The Chairing of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, yesterday,i upon his late re-election as one of the Members to represent the City of Westminster in Parliament, was one of the most splendid processions which we ever remember to have seen. By the arrangement of the Committee who managed the Election, the procession was to set out from Hyde Park-corner, and proceed through Piccadilly, the Haymar!ret, Strand, Covent-garden, &c. Cie. then to dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. At an early hour in the day the concourse of people pressing forward in every direction towards the west end of the town, strongly reminded us of the bustle of all ranks who took a similar route on the evening of the Park Fetes, LO celebrate the Peace of 1811 ; but the crowds in the windows, and on the roofs of the houses in Pic cadilly, &c. exceeded any thing we ever saw on any previous public occasion. The windows were every where filled by Ladies of Fashion, and the roofs were actually covered by people—the appearance of some of them was really terrific, from the i:nmensc throng who bent forward on each others shoulder; to over look the procession from the great height of the large houses in Piccadilly. The famed curiosity, may we add, the laudable patriotism, so often displayed by the Ladies of Westminster, induced many of them to attempt this dangerous elevation, and we were extremely glad to find that their ultimate safety jus tifie 1 their confidence in the positions they occupied, notwithstanding the temporary apprehensions excited by the separation of a few slates and bricks, which was only productive of momentary inconvenience.— 'The coup d'ccil from the terrace in front of Earl Spencer's and the adjoining house, in the Green Park, was beautiful in the extreme. The range of rank and fashion which thronged the banks of the basin, attired in the gay colours of the sea'on, was delight fully attractive, and the similar lines of gaiety and elegance which caught the eye in harmonious per spective, as it traced the distant view along the lines • of the windows and roofs towards Hyde Park-corner, was indescribably magnificent. At two o'clock Sir FRANCIS ascended the Car pre pared for him at Hyde Park-corner Turnpike—it represented a curule chair, placed on a pedestal, elevated upon a platform, the base of which was considerably higher than the roof of an ordinary sized coach.- On the three steps at the foot of the Chair were inscribed in gold letters—"RETonx," "TnuTir," "JUSTICE," and the Car itself was richly covered with velvet of different colours. Its great elevation gave the immense crowds assembled who lined the streets, an opportunity of seeing their Representative, who, by repeated bows, acknowledged their shouts. Sir FRANCIS was dressed in a blue coat, white waist coat, bl.'ck breeches, and' silk stockings. In a few moments after he took his seat, four rockets were discharged in succession from the centre obelisk, be tween the turnpike gates. The procession then moved forwards through Piccadilly, in the order already published. Among the equestrians who immediately preceded the Car, were the Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD, Mr. BRUCE, and several other Gentlemen, who took an active part its the late election. We have already given the programma of this pro cession, which war strictly followed, except that Mr. CLEARY appeared in the van, instead of Mr. LEE, the High Constable, who, with other Constables, was ordered by Lord SIDNOUTII, as High Steward of Westminster, not to attend. _ _ The procession was very numerous. They arrived in Covent-garden at ten minutes before five o'clock ; and, when passing the Piazza Coffee-house, the ac clamations were really astounding. Cheers, not only nine times nine, but ninety times nine, were given, as the cavalcade moved round to Southampton-street. On again entering the Strand, the whole of the Electors arranged themselves on each side, forming a spacious way, through which the car approached the Crown and Anchor Tavern, preceded only by the different banners, and the bands playing--. , See the conquering Hero comes." The Baronet arrived at the Tavern at a quarter before sit, and alighted Amidst a repetition of the former cheers. THE DINNER. Long before the procession reached the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the passages leading to the great room were all completely filled. The door of the room was not opened till dinner was placed on the table ; but in the mean time, from the rressure of the numbers anxious for admission, many Gentlemen during a considerable period suffered severely ; and when the door was opened, nothing hut cries of in dignation were for a long time to be heard. The dinner was entered on in a very unceremonious man ner, and during the whole of it signs of great irrita tion were heard from every part of the room. Mr. Kinnaird attempted to address the company, but he could not be heard. The musical band, after this fruitless attempt to reason with the discontent in the room, endeavoured to drown it, but a shower of mis siles soon induced them to seek their safety in ietreat. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT then stood up. Ile rose, he said, rather for the purpose of collecting from them the cause of their discontent, than for that of addressing them. He understood that a number of Gentlemen had been kept a long time before the door of the room before they could gain admission, by which they had suffered great inconvenience— (Cries of " Nearly killed.") As lie believed there were a number of Gentlemen in the room who NV.I:I - refreshment, he wished to inform them that places would willingly be yielded to them by a number of his friends—(Loud expressions of satisfaction.) He hoped every Gentleman present would endeavour as well as he could to put up with the accommodation which could be got, and remember, that though the room in which they were assembled was not equal to the accommodation of their friends, it was the largest room in London—(App/auses.) It was the saying of a great man of old, who lived in A small house, and who was told it was too small to receive the visits of his friends, that the house was indeed small, but it would be too large if it was to be filled only with sincere friends. Now our house (said Sir Francis) is, on the contrary, large, but there was this other difference between it and the house of the great man to whom he had alluded, that it was overflow ing with sincere friends--(Appiause.) lie wished to know what was the sense of the room—...hether they wished to call up the landlord, or any part of the Committee? In the mean time, the best way, he believed, would be for those who had got refresh ments to go into another room, till those who had r.ot got terreshmetits might get some in tioi.r c um , (Cries of a No, 310 r) Mr. CIIARLES PITT said he had been dep uted L several Gentlemen to state the grounds rt thejr al4 content. It was his iirention to Lave tail th e cloth was removed before he entered 0.1 tl, e ~,t ject. but as he (Sir Francis Burdea) had appealci e; room, he would answer that appeal. lie was c um neither he (Sir Francis Burdett) nor any G e m e ,, connected with him, would suffer any 0 (1,6; to rem in exposed to such a severe pressure tit other side of the door. ITe wished thcaefore t o e 4 on the person or persons rho bad boon guil t y edtha outrage on his (Sir Francis Burdett's) friencst omeee forward and make an apology. Sir FRANCIS BJIIDETT said he was ROtlj mee i ric.. quainted with the person who had been g u i; ty ( 1 1 4 impropriety of keeping Gentlemen in a situatir. inconvenience and suffering. He wished th e p et to be named, that if he was one over whom the;L a d any authority he might he called on. Mr. PITT in answer, said he had to state distinctly that repeated applications had been made to th e 4. cretary of the Committee (Mr. Percy), and h e k id only laughed at them through the key-hole. Sir FRANCIS gURDETT said it had been stated t o him that the blame lay entirely with the Luidl or d. who had admitted persons hefor_thand into theroom who ought not to have been in it, and whOhadis set , one hundred more tickets than he ought to Lave done. Did they wish then that the landlord shoida be called up ? He then put the question, whetSei : was the opinion of the Gentlemen present that ice landlord be called up ? which was carried by a d im m hands in the affirmative. The Landlord then made his appearance, r expressed his regret for what had taken place, t 2 endeavoured to explain how it had arisen; but fro* his being uaused i:yrhaps to address a large assemliy, hi; explanation was defective, in those parts pm cisely respecting which explanation was most tract, ; , After a short interval, Mr. HODIMUSE came forward. They had proved themselves irresistible as enemies—he hoped to GO D they would not prove themselves inesistible u friends. He was directed by Mr. Percy to assure them, that whatever disturbance had taken place was owing to a misunderstanding between himself, as Acting Secretary, and the landlord. They hadheard the landlord say, that whatever confusion hadarissa he was sorry for it ; and, on the part of Mr. Percy, he was authorized to tell them also, that aluterer confusion had arisen, he was sorry for it. They had d fa is i s r oo tr s i i cf ... pla 4di tl;e l y ausc had . i gained by shewn themselves, during the whole of the l ate co-.. test, full of every generous virtue—he hoped they an wouldy appearanceno t sull y t o h f e He tea sure the best means of quieting any measure of dis sension among them would be the appearance of cm of their enemies—(Applause.) At that moment il would be united—lAyrilause.) And it was rally Ev• cause they saw nothing but friends around them tha they suffered this little irritation to sully their f,c• tory. If it were necessary, in appealing tolhem el this occasion, to allude to any of the motives whis.l usually weigh with men, he would tell them in they had on them the eyes of the malicious; the pat of malice was at that momez , d z ijsping in the ink cf gall to calumniate them—( applause.) They ought to bear in mind, that the sheets were at that very moment still open, which were ready to carry abroad calumny against them as far as the winds of Heaven could carry it—(Appleux.) He entreated them not to play into the hands of their vile and b...:: enemies, who were only strong . through their weak ness. The cause of their enemies was nothing, and their candour was worth nothing; and they merely backed about for occasions for misleading them first, that they might abuse them afterwards—(.lpieuae.) He was but an humble individual, but they might depend upon it, there was not a man among them 1 who partook more in the trisimpl:s of the day ; aad he was therefore the snore sorry to see it sullied b 7 any trifling accident. There was hardly a face among the numbers present wisc:m Le did cot recoz• Hire. He would not detain them any longer flora that which was the first object of their meeting, tl-e commemoration of the triumph they had achieved, but take his leave of them with requesting tlinfrran that moment all contention might cease—(lord el flauss)—and that they would slut fur oue instant al . • ow their enemies to say they had been tardy at ....e close of a victory so nearly achieved—(Lesid au! if neral e.rpressions elapprotation)—and of an itaisersd agreement to bury all animosities. The following toasts were then given : " The People—the only source of legitimate power." " The Kit.g and Constitution; and a speedy rtcovsry ofttni.' Polity of Election ; and may a speedy and effect-of tefo-n enable the thole People of the United Kingdom to cheat that own Rept escntatives: Mr. Sruacts, in proposing the next toast, wished first of all to congratulate them on the glorious vit. tory they had attained over all the per.ver and enemies of Reform, and all the friends of a coi-rupt Admit!• stration. lie should then have the pleasure cf gisiag them a toast which he had frequently bad the bonne of proposir.g to the Electors of Westznineer, sad waich in consequence of recent events, he was c ar.. fident ' they would drink with increased pleasure a n ti delight. lie had to propose —.4 The health of their excellent Representative Sir Francis Vardar"--(loud and reiterated acclarnations.)—He confessed honestly to them it was not merely personal attachment --it was not his name—it was not his rank—it was nothis fortune—it was not his amiable mannees—it was nit his splendid abilities which induced him to gi.e . l i_ single vote for Sir Francis Burdett. He would t c,l them why he was so anxious that Sir Francis Eura t should be returned by a large majority—it wAs 14 '1 cause he firmly believed in his heart that he "'as the 1 .unalterable friend of freedom—(applasse.)—lf ever it should appear that Sir Francis Burdett no loi7r felt an attachment to freedom then he would shrink, he assured them, from the office of proposing th e toast which they now received with so great pleastut —(applause.)—When they first elected their well: Representative, in 1807, they had had many °pro!' tunities of observing his conduct. • Since that tini4 . te had been twice sent back to them, and they had t'"; re-elected him.
