% • • FRENCH PAPERS. At a late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The Monitcur or Monday contains no further details re pecting the conspiracy. The Journal de Paris, after giving the statement of the Afonitcur of Sunday, which we pubished in our Paper of Wednesday, adds as follows : We have but a very few facts to add to those which the Moniteur has published. All the military who have been arrested have been plitced at the dis posal of the Procureur de Itoi. The judicial/ear/Jetfoil Las commenced. in these first moments, however, it may be imagined that prudence as well as justice requires much reserve in the statements to which rich serious events may give rise. The number of military arrested appears hitherto to be twenty-five. These are all officers to the rank of Captain inclu sive, or sub-officers. It is with regret we have learnt that in this number arc included some officers of the Second Regiment of the Guards, of that corps so eminently distinguished by its sentiments of honour aed fidelity. Thus, no sooner were these perjured men known, than they were rejected with indignation by the whole corps; and this circumstance, melan choly as it is, only serves to give a new testimony of the good spirit and loyalty of the Royal Guards. The luatruction will throw light upon these ma elinations, and upon the means of execution pos sessed by the authors of the conspiracy. It appears that they did not dare to confide their projects to the soldiers whom they hoped to make their instruments. Their blindness was such, that they thought them selves able, by the aid of their influence and of that of sub-officers devoted to them, to entrap the sol c!iers into criminal designs, without incurring the danger of informing them beforehand. The soldiers have remained faithful to the voice of honour and duty. Among the officers who played principal cha racters in these m ichinations, may be mentioned a Captain of the Legion of the North, named Deque vauvilliers, who, it is said, served in the Guard of Murat, when he occupied the throne of Naples; also a Captain of the Legion of La Meurthe, who has absconded. Some of these officers were arrested at their homes, in the city, by the gendarmerie; others were taken into custody at their barracks, by the orders of their Colonels, and by the soldiers even of their own corps. The Legion of La Meurthe marched from Paris i good order yesterday morning, to proceed to the garrison to which it is assigned by the Minister of War," The Coll.-Out:owe/ of Monday says, " All the I'a:riers of Paris were shut from eleven o'clock on Saturday night till seven yesterday morning. Since then the passage has been perfectly free. The gen dai me: ie was reinforced at all the posts and stationed ;:t new ones. The Quarter de Reserve of the Oran genie du Carousel was occupied by Swiss. It is said ti.at the Chamber of Peers will be convoked as a High Court of Justice. The fire broke out at half past three on Saturday afternoon in the Salu des Ar tificiers, at the Chateau de Vincennes. Some da mage was done to the wood-work of the building. The firemen of the Chateau, and those of Vincennes, got the fire under at half-past four; no lives were lost: It is said that the master artificier is arrested." The following are further extracts : "PARIS, AUGUST 21. "The King received yesterday the Princes, Minis ters, several Marshals and Lieutenant-Generals, and a crowd of persons of distinction. The Spanish Am bassador was present. At one o'clock the King skewed himself to the crowd, who were assembled under the windows. At four his Majesty again yielded to the wishes and testimonies of love and respect manifested frem all quarters, by appearing at the window of his Cabinet. _ _ " For some days past a report has been indus ti iot.3ly circulated of the death of Bonaparte. This rumour came out of the workshops of Liberalism.' It ):ad for its object to favour the establishment of a Regency, in proclaiming the son of the Exile of S. An agent of the Queen of England is at present in treaty for purchasing, in the name of her Majesty, a very large property, Oituated in the Forest of Sc na.t, a short distance from Paris. _ _ _ " A pestilential fever prevails at present at Milan, hich carries off a number of persons, particularly strangers. " Some German Journals state, that an English ft i gate had brought to Genoa the news of a dreadful revolution at Constantinople, which the frigate quit ted on the 19th ult. The Janissaries and the other troops are stated to have had sanguinary' combats; but the intelligence is very vague, and stands in need of confirmation." The Journal de Paris of Tuesday last contains the ftAlowing; a PARIS, AUGUST 22. d 4 The King was engaged yesterday afternoon with the President of the Council of Ministers. The ap pearance of the capital for these two days has proved both the good spirit of the inhabitants, and their per fect confidence in the wisdom and prudence of Go vernment, The indignation excited by the criminal attempt of some madmen has not at all interrupted the public tranquillity, nor the occupations or the pleasures of the citiiens. What has chiefly contributed to remove every disagreeable impression is the presence of the Xing, respecting whose health perfidious or ridiculous I-a mours were circulated, and who by merely showing himself to the people dispelled all apprehensions, Notwithstanding exaggerated assertions, we can af firm that the number of the criminals is small, that of the military arrested is not more than 25, all Su balterns, or Officers not above the rank of Captain."

As on the former days, the number of persons as sembled in the afternoon of yesterday, was much greater than in the morning, in the line of procession from the House of Lords to St. James's-square, which was completely crammed in every part, and there w•as the usual display of females at the windows. Double rows of vehicles of every kind were placed *along the streets, and were filled with people, most of whom paid handsomely for their accommodation. The crowd was greatest at the barrier in Palace yard, where the exertions of the Police and military to preserve open space for carriages to pass were at one time wholly unavailing, so great was the pressure. Within a few moments of five o'clock,. the prepa rations of the troops to receive the QUEEN, announced to the multitude, that her MAJESTY was leaving the House of Lords, and a loud and incessant cheering immediately commenced, which ran quickly through the crowd, and soon extended to Charing-Cross, the men waving their hats, and the women their hand kerchiefs. In front of the barriers a numerous crowd was collected, who greeted hei• MAJESTY with warm applause, and tumultuous cries of " No Mnjoccos! No boggle!. witnesses !" The people, as many as could, followed the carriage home, and women, as well as men, were seen clinging to the body of it, and to the harness. Those nearest to the carriage called to the QUEEN not to despair, for that she would triumph over her enemies. When arrived in St. James's-square, her MAJESTY entered her house without difficulty, some addi tional constables having been placed at the door to keep off the people. The square at this moment was completely full, and when the QUEEN appeared shortly after at the window a general huzza was raised. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm which prevailed amongst the immense multitude assembled. Alder man Wool, was in - attendance to receive the QUEEN, and her MAJESTY seemed in excellent spirits. She received the greetings of the People with her usual affability and good humour. Respecting the statement from the British Em bassy, published in the Remo Gazette, one mistake has gone abroad. Whatever other members of the 1 1 Embassy might have done at the period alluded to, the Ambassador, Lord STEWART, could _pot have acted in ; for he was then in England. The contra diction, then, lies not between his Lordship and Ma *co, but between him and those, or some of those, who filled departments connected with the Embassy. Every hour of the trial hitherto has given fresh evidence how slow people ought to be in giving credit to ex-parte statements, and tales of general slander. Who would not have believed., from the general com plexion of Majocco's evidence, that the man was a perfect stranger to England, imported only for the sake of justice, to assist in eliciting truths which otherwise could not be got at? Who could have thought that this witness had for some time been in the service of a Gentleman at Gloucester, and had declared to many, that the Princess of WALES was " a most excellent woman—a good woman."— It is true, that he seemed to wish to avoid particulars respecting what he might have said at Gloucester, by his usual answer, " Non mi ricordo." But it hap pens very fortunately, that for the proof of what this hired witness did say, her MAJESTY'S Counsel will not need to send to Italy ; and the evidence will not be attended with any " non mi ricordo," but, on the contrary, will completely supply Majocco's want j memory. _ _ It has been observed by many, that the most unforeseen accidents and chances often occur to elu cidate facts which otherwise might remain inscru table. We are not of the number of those who be lieve in chance : we consider such occurrences as Divine interpositions for the defence and justification of innocence—for the exposure, if not always the punishment, of conspiracy and crimes. It must have struck most people as rather singular that Majecco, when again brought before the House, should have been so eager to volunteer a declaration, through the Interpreter, " that he was ready to lay down his life in that place if his former testimony was not correct !" What could put this in his head ? Had conscience enabled him to anticipate the possi bility of the forthcoming of ENGLISH WITNESSr3 to invalidate his testimony ? And, if so, could he think it possible that this volunteer boasting would weigh a feather against their unbought evidence! It is also 4 curious fact, when speaking of un bought evidence, that the Mate of the vessel is to be paid 800 dollars i month, besides being still entitled to his one-fourth of all profits arising from freightage of the vessel during his absence. The Captain is to be paid 1,000 dollars--a greater sum than he was raw for the - hire of the whole vessel, while in the service' of the Quizw, including his own pay, the pay of the Mate, and the pay and maintenance of the whole crew !—The sum paid by the Princess of WALES for the hire of the whole vessel, Captain, Mate, and crew—twenty-four souls in all—was only between seven and eight hundred dollars per month!! We are greatly deceived, if the discovery of Ma jocco having been a resident in England, and the way in which he then spoke of the Quees, be the only unexpected fact that will soon be established by evidence. We have just learnt a most interesting fact respecting the rumours engendered in Milan, that hot-bed of calumny and slander! During the residence of the Princess of WALES in that neigh bourhood, persons were regularly stationed in the different coffee-houses frequented by English tra vellers, for the purpose of impressing strangers — especially the English—with strong ideas of the misconduct of her Royal Highness. The waiter of one particular coffee-house mentioned to a tra veller—pointing to two men sitting in the room— that these men were always there, and seemed to have no other business or occupation but to give currency to slanders of the foulest description against the Princess of VALES. We have even had commu nicated to us some of the express terms made use of by these fiends to damn the fame of her Royal High ness, but they are too gross for us to repeat. SEVENTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The QUEEN, attended by Lady ANNE HAMILTON and her two Chamberlains, Sir WILLIAst GILL and the Hon. K EPPEL CRAVEN, arrived at the House of Lords this morning at a quarter past eleven. To say that her MAJESTY was received with enthusiasm, would be to repeat that which we have had occasion to say day after day, from the first moment her MAJESTY touched the shores of Britain to,brave this unparalleled ordeal, which is called her trial. As the humbler classes of .society, who cannot daily quit their occupations to gratify their honest zeal, become less numerous (though still the crowd is great) around the QUEEN'S carriage, their places are supplied by respectable persons in those walks of life who have more leisure to consult their feelings, and whose opinions form so large a share of the standard of public sentiment. In the whole line of her Maszsrv's progress to the House of Lords, she was hailed by a throng of the most respectable persons of both sexes, who waved their hats and handkerchiefs, in token of their (if possible) increasing confidence and respect. Her MAJESTY appeared sensible of this honest cordiality, and repeatedly acknowledged it with the most heart felt expression of her gratitude. The day of trial has been proverbially the test of the siocerity of one's friends, but it redeems some.' thing, for the character of mankind, from the too common imputation which has been affixed to it, that each successive hour of her trial only adds to the strength and confidence of her friends; and that the most decided and favourable opinion is formed of her character, even out of the testimony of her enemies —(see Theodore Majocco's testimony yester day), before a single witness has been thought of, for the assertion of her honour from the slanders that assail it. The QUEEN was, as usual, received with military hor.ours in front of the House of Lords ; and Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT threw an ornamented carpet on the pavement of the piazza, for her MAJESTY to step on as she entered the door appropriated for her reception. Alderman Woon, at half-pait ten o'clock, arrived in his chaise and four horses. He was, of course, greeted by the crowd. Mr. Hatter/taws, and other persons of her MAJESTY'S Household, accompanied him. HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat 10 minutes be. fore 10 o'clock, on which Prayers were immediately read by one of the Reverend Bishops. Lord ELLENBOROUGH rose to complain of an imputa tion cast by one of the Public Prints on a Noble Lord now ab sent foreign duties. It was in giving an account of the evi tierce of Theodore Majocco, and stated that he Went from Milan to Vienna in the service of the hlarquis Onischalti, in August, 1817, where he remained six or seven months, and then entered into the service of the British Ambassador, Lord Stewart. Now, from his own knowledge he could declare, fhat this could not be the case. Lord Stew.lrt larded in England in July, 1817, and continued in England and Ireland until the month of February, 1818. It is also a fact, well known from the pub lic proceedings that took place in the Court of Chancery, that the Ncble Lord continued in England for many months subsequent, so that it is impossible Lord Stewart could be at Vienna at the time stated, or for some months after. It Is true Maocco did not say he had seen Lord Stewart, but his Secre tary caly. He would not impute any blame to Major Deering , the Secretary, whom he knew to be an honourable man. Nor. did he think it dishonourable in any person in the service of the British Government, procuring the examination of a person likely to give evidence on a question on which the honour of his Sovereign and the character of his country might depend. He thought it necessary to say thus much, to refute an imputation against the Noble Lord which he was confident would be found as false as it was base. The names of the I'etrs having been called over, and some absences named, Lord LIVERPOOL said, it was for their Lordships to con sider, whether a day or two's illness might not be a sufficient ex cuse for the absence of any Noblo Lord, especially as he could see the evidence in the newspapers ? Lurd GRENVI LLE thought it would be highly imptoper that any Noble Lord should give his vote on this question, who had not heard the whole of the evidence. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not think an absence of a day or two ought to disqualify a Peer from voting, if his at tendance waa feuerally regular.. The Counsel having been caled in li . a quarter part ten, Mr. Esovotuix rose to complain of a statentent in a paper o: this morning, which asserted that he had cross-exandned Majoer.i yesterday, an the evidence of a letter which he had never seer- The facts on which he had examined Majocco had been de posed to by most respectable persons. The Arroatatv-Ginmast said, if his Learned Friend com plained of the Public Press, and he doubted not very justly, how much greater reason had he to complain? a a Paper of thin morning contained the most unjust and unmerited reflections on his Majesty's legal advisers, and also the most shameful com ments on the evidence, lie should not have noticed this, ha./ not his Learned Friend circle a previous and similar complain:. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the tnisreprcsentat;.:::, in public 'mints sem notorious in a pamphlet just published, l• who did not reccive a shilling cf the public money, vas 'down for £16,000 per annum. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that in retard to the daily Press, it was very difficult to know how to act on tl,u prosent occasion, and it might be well to reserve any proceedinss on the subject for further consideration. The pamphlet noticed by the Noble Lord contained more falsehood than any other publication extant. The further examination of Francixo Barak, which was com menced yesterday, was now resumed by air.

Mr. BEOUGMAI! suppertcd die objection, tke question not take so wide a range, but be more specific. The LORD CHANCELLOR over-ruled the ob•ectico, and the question was again put to witness.
