His Grace, the 1 next morning, had successive conferences with the A 1 11 I Duke of RICHELIEU, and with the Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and Spanish Ambassadors. These Journals maintain the same silence as before respecting the Ultra Conspiracy. The arrival of the Duke of W4l-LINGTON, and his immediate inter- course with the French and Foreign Ministers, are the only facts mentioned that can be supposed to 1:: I have any relati ar to , that affair—a pretty plain proof i# - that the influence, the means, and the energies of the Ultras, are held in great contempt by the Ministers. 1 lndeed, of all the attempts that could be made by any part l y in France to effect any thing by a Revo- lution, one on the part of the Ultras must be consi- dered as the most foolish. No possible change could i produce any result, in the slightest degree favourable to their views: on the contrary, any Revolption effected by force, would ultimately involve them in complete destruction. f i We subjoin another Private Letter, received yes- : terday by a contemporary Journalist. It gives no new facts in addition to those we laid before our Readers in our last ; but, in as far as it agrees in its details with our own Private Letters, its contents have sonic importance : • PRIVATE LETTER. " Pasts, Jetv 2. u The sort of ultra-Royalist conspiracy which has been disco- . . wrsd and defeated, is the c.nstant subject of conversation. At ) \ first the public funds experienced a depression ; but when it was krawr that the authors of the plot were no other than the for- ,. lore hope of a feeble and completely unpopular party, the live prr Cert. Consols rose to their I . ...ream. value. " The accounts of the derail; vary considerably. It appears i . that it was wished to Arike a blow a la Mullet, to arrest the Mi. , i *liters, suspend the Chaster, and chanze the form of the Go- . 1 seremein. dome superior Officers attached to Generals Cam,el and Donadieu, it is I..id, have been apprehended; other arrests are also speken or, but none of any persons of distir.:tion. It is generally believed that the affair was less a conspiracy than an • , intrigue, and that, with the exception of some subalterns, who - I will doubtless be delivered over to the Tribunals, the removal -II • ; from the Court of certain men who cannot endure the constitu- tional system will be the only punishment inflicted by the King. s. During the reign of Henry IV. with whom Louis XVIII. v l , has many points of resemblance, there were several conspiracies 4 , . 4 I of the nature of the present. The good and generous Henry thrice parduned the guilty Biron, the most ungrateful of men: i 1 bat Biron. had rendered most essential services to his Prince. Ile was covered with glory in the battles of Arequcs and Ivry, and at the si..ges of Paris and Rouen, &c. He had, mere than OP k• I- I any other, contributed to seat his master on the throne of France. Certain personages who at present title highly of the importance of their sots/ices, and the bitterness of their regrets, should recol. ' feet that the clemency of Kings has its boundaries; and that lliron. the friend of Henry IV. finishtd his career by losing his head on the scaffold." . . iThe following arc extracts from the Paris Papers : PARIS, JULY 2. The Duke of Wellington arrived last night, al ' P . H eight o'clock, at his hotel in the Rue des Champs 1 e . Elysies. This morning his Grace had successivel) a conference with their Excellencies the Duke o Richelieu and the Ambassadors of Russia, Prussia Austria, and Spain. LUBECK, JUNE is. The departure of the King of Sweden for Noma; s is definitively fixed for the be g innin g of Jul y . , The Swedish Diet will probably be closed toward the end of June; but if this should be prevented b] Ithe important business before it, the King, it is said , . _,_ _ in that will prorogue it for MVO 11101111131 order to f, t t ' \ . i . v. Deputies may return to their homes during the ab sence of his Majesty. The Coronation of the King of Sweden, as King of Norway, will take place at Drontheim. The Nor wegian Storthing has named twelve of its Members to be present at the Coronation. Count Jacques de la. Gardie is to be their Speaker. The project of a new Constitution for the Duchy of Holstein, has been already submitted to the King of Denmark, but his Majesty is not expected to make his decision respecting it known till his return to the Capital. LAUSANNE. JUNE 21. The news from the Lower Vallais begins to offer I I less incertitude. Many persons have been to Mar-1 tiguy, and some even to Bagne, by the way of the mountains, and all agree in giving a sad account of the spectacle of which they have'been witnesses.— Numbers of workmen, sent from the surrounding communes, are busy clearing the soil from the mire which covers it, or in raising embankments to con fine the Drauce within its natural bed. Every day corpses and effects of all sorts are seen floating past. We learn that the Council of State has decided, that there' shall be a general collection throughout the Canton of Vaud in favour of the unfortunate Vallais, who have suffered by this disaster. PETERSDURGH, JUNE A. The Emperor arrived on the 18th May at Nicolaeff. ROME, JUNE is.

This measure, so neces sary to humanity and to commerce, will take place, it is said, in the course of this year. French 3 per Cents. Friday, 7th. 75c. From Papers which we have received from Ca nada to the Ist of June, we learn that considerable discontent prevails in that Province. The whole District of Niagara, having adopted the principles and proceeded according to the advice of a Mr. GOURLAY, in an Address to the resident Landholders, every Township held meetings, and have each chosen a Representative. These Representatives, (fifteen in number, among whom are several Magistrates,) have met, and chosen four to represent the District of the Provincial Convention, appointed to meet at York, Upper Canada, on the 6th July, in order to send Commissioners to England, with an Address to his Royal Highness the PRINCE RECENT, respecting the conduct of the Local Government. The Committee of Niagara District have invited others to follow their example. Saturday, the 6th June, was appointed for Township Meetings, to nominate Township Repre sentatives.—Much injury had been done by fires in Lower Canada, in the woods. At the German Set tlement of the Clandiere, and in that of the Seigniory of St. Gabriel, several houses and a quantity of corn had been destroyed.
