THU BLACK PIN PLOT. - -- - The Sittiog of the Cour t of Assize commenced yes terday at half-past eleven o'clock. After some observations of the Advocate-General, on the system of defence-adopted by the Counsel for the pritooers, and on the expressions which escaped, them, observations to which Messrs. M a rabou an d Mauguin replied in the name of all their colleagues, l'he President announced the close of the pleadings, and summed up in the most luminous order, on one band, the charges in the accusation, and, on the other, the means of defence presented by the delenders of the accused. The tollovriag is the series. or questions, which the Presiaeni then reid, and which he put to the Foreman 4.1 . the Jury : Ist Question.--Are Marie Conrre.Moultn, Louis Finiteness Dufresne, Juseph Florentan Montan', Lolls Antoine qudfautue • Dodo,, lean Jacques Pascal Crouse', guilty oi having, in the first menthe of is iG. by a resolution to act concerted and deter mined upon between two, or a greater number of permits corn posing rn isioctitson called Ire* fitted. of their Comets'', or the 111. s•• cletiou of the 11:sek l'in, formed a plot with 'Mein to de stroy or is change the Government or the order of succession to On Throne or to Lucite the citizens or inhabitants against the Rays% *y l lid.

Are Downie and Crouzel guilty of having distributed, at the same epoch, a rallying sign not eatherised by the King? The Jury retired to the Chamber of Deliberation at five o'clock precisely. They returned at half-past eleven to the Court. The late hour had not dims sished the numerous assemblage which attended the proceedings in this important affair ; and it was re. markable that even the ladies, who were in great numbers in the hall, waited patiently for the seven hours duiiiig which the Jury were consulting. At last the bell sounded, and all having resumed their s.ats, heard in profound silence the Foreman of the Jury declare the result of their deliberations. He answered " No" to all the questions which were sub. mitred to them. All the accused were in consequence acquitted. Before the declaration or the verdict, the President had commanded that no sign of disappro. bation or approbation should be manifested. In the course of the reply of M. bfaintuou, who was counsel to two of the prisoners, some severe ob. aervations fell from him respecting the Police and oven the Government, which excited great applause in the hall. The PltielDZST, however, called him to order, and stated, mat he ought not to be prood of applauses which Could only come from thieves" pros titutes. and enemies of the public peace.

The Grand Seignior has sent to their Imperial Majesties a complimentary letter, written with his own hand, and accompanied by magnificent presents, amongst which are ten superb horses for the Empe ror, tour of them Arabian stallions. MILAN, SIP MAUER 24. , A new Convent of Jesuits is about to be formed in _ . Piedmont. One of the principal Ni , blemen of the Court of Turin, the Marquis Grimaldi, has taken their habit. 'l'be Government has taken an annual revenue of 24.000 francs from the University of Ge. mos s to give it to this religious Order. Monks are also re-established at the Annuncfade at Genoa and other towns. It is said that several great Courts of Europe ate about to address representations upon this subject to the Court of Twin. MADRID, SEPTEMBER The military expee.ition about to key* Cadiz for the Colonies will consist of 3000 men. It will set sail directly, though its destination is non:lade public. We wait with impatience the arrisil of some ves s el with news irom America, especially Rotes General Merino, whose correspongence appears to have been intercepted by the Insurgent corsairs: a thick cloud teems to cover all that passes in those countries.— The English and American Journals contain nothing but contradictory statements. They have ceased to tell lies respecting Mexico, which is In a state of peace, for the invasion of Mina was not even looked upon as an events and if, contrary to all appearance, this young adventurer had obtained the least success, !the officious Gazettes of New York and Charleston woald have hastened to issue bulletins. We know that Main° is still on the offensive, his courage Dan l . oplics his means, and he is always a -head of the rebels. 0/7111CIAL.—The Ambassador of the King, our m ute% at Lae Court of Naples;. bee *anon:iced that the Neapolitan Minister for , Foreigb.Atfairs, has sent a diplomatic note, In which It is said that his Sovereign, wishing to prevent the clandestine entrance d sus p e cted persons into his State, has issued an order that every individual coming by pea shall be bound to produce his passport, signed by the Anthe. • • if t h e country from which be comes : but that Ms pass p or ts shall not be available till the; ban been Inspected by the proper sputa q f Asa Eas or the Tv) THE EVENING STAR.

The statement we gave several days ago respecting the Bank discounting miser per Cent, and the issue of Exchequer Bills at 9d. per day premium, may now be considered as fully confirmed. It was confidently stated this morning that a notice to the former effect will be Oriel! made in a few days, and that the Exchequer Bills will be reedit for issuing by next Saturday. The effect upon the Funds, in cneaequence, has been very great. Yesterday Con sols left off at 24 for Tuesday; this morning they opened at 412 i and went to Os, and at twelve o'clock the Commissioners pre 821 money, which Is Krim-eights per cent. of a rise dace yesterday ; on Friday fast they gavoilli, and yesterday NI, .fart the November account..

In the market to day, even at the price of sq, an immense number of pur chases have been made, and from the unprecedented scarcity of Stock on hand, added to the glut of money, a further rise is fully anticipated during this week.—The prevailing opinion still its that Consols will.be 90 by Novenibtr nest. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night. The trial of the persons charged with the conspi racy of the Black Pin, terminated on Saturday in des minimal of Ms easels of Me prisoners. Without de siring to insist on the degree of innocence which may be justly claimed by the acquitted, we may be per mitted to express the satisfaction it gives us, to find that an honest jury has rescued them from the hazard of adding to the number of victims for the crimes and errors of a period, which the sooner the veil of oblivion is permitted to fall over it the better. "It is time," said M. CLAVEAU, one of their Counsel,- with a degree of candour and good sense which the French Government would do well to appreciate as it merits, , c to look for facts of another nature— When the King ordered the disbandment of the army he was obeyed ; but do you suppose that there were neither complaints, nor regrets, nor murmurs, nor projects, nor protestations? Officers and soldiers said as they embraced • All is not ever—we shall see each other again' The noble Marshal who then commanded saw all, heard all, but preserved his equanimity; he left his brethren in arms to time, and ab.)ve all to their own generosity. These, Gen tlemen, are the considerations by which we ought to appreciate the Association of the Friends of the country, which had its birth on the Banks of the Loire, and the feeble remains of which are now ex piring before you." It appears from official accounts, that the French imports during the year 1816, amounted to the sum of 42,151,511 fr. and the exports to 90,106,928 fr. , leaving a balance in favour of the imports of 22,046,585 fr. Of this balance this country has doubtless the largest share, so that we may consider . ourselves as not altogether without compensation, for the share of our national income which is annually lavished away by our emigrant countrymen in France. COUOt CHAMIOL, who was Igtely advanced from the trefeetship of Lyons to the office of Under Se amity of State to the Minister of the Interior, has been sneceeded by Count de LLZAV-MARNASZA, Pre fect of Amiens I and Count D'ALLorivaLc, Prefect of Rennes, has been transferred to the Pletectship of Amiens.—Trench 5 per Cen;s. 4tb Oct. 65 fr. 55 c. A Hamburg!' Mail, which artived last night, has brought us German and other Papers to the sth inst. from.which we subjoin some Extracts. A Caisasiraiers, it will be observed, has been appointed for the trial of Colonel MattighDACH. But why a Commission? Why 'are not the ordinary Tribunals entrusted with the determination of his delinquency ? The reason is but too plain. A Commission, composed of per. sons of the KlNG's—•that is, the accusing party's own nomination—and with no rule but his sovereign pleasure to guide them—cuss and will do what no or dinary tribunal would or dorsi venture to do. BERLIN. SEPTEMBER so. The Prussian Colonel Massenbach is now in Cue trin. According to authentic accounts, he has bees arrested on account of repeated transgressions of his duty, as Prussian Staff Officer, upon the report and at the request of the whole Council of State, and proceedings accordingly ordered aglinst him. These will be directed by a Commission appointed fee the purpose. At the particular wish of M. V. Kamen- bach, Lieutenant-General Von Dierike is appointed a Member of the Commission. The inquiry will be solely confined to his military transgressions ; and it is expressly decided that all political •iews and opi nions shall be entirely excluded from it. Major-General Count Von Tuyl, Ambassador from the Emperor of Russia to the Waited States of North America, has passed through hare on his way from St. Petersburgh to Philadelphia. The Prince, Chancellor of State, is shortly expected fronityrneeet. The clergy of the province of Mark, in cone. quince of a joint Synod, held on the 16th, 11th, and Ilith of this month, at which above ene bendred Cl erg y men were present, have resolved on the 'mien of the Protestant churches under the name of the Evangelical, and solemnly celebrated this event. STUTOARD, UrTRPADIR la A second Royal rtscript against the corp. of writers has ban lewd, which *ally 41111,441111 kis Majesty's firm resolution to relieve his subjects, particularly those of the lower class. In a few days a third re script is expected, according to which, all arbitrary taxing of accounts, of partitions of inheritances, arc. is to be wholly abolished, and fixed salaries appointed. Wurtemburg will then be indebted to the energy and the feeling heart of the - King, for its deliverance from a bnrden which has oppressed it for 300 years, and against which many former Princes have contended, with perfect judgment indeed, but yet in vain. In the accomplishment of his solemnly pledged word on this subject, the Kipg is very strongly aided by the indefatigable real of the Minister Von Wangen heim, who already, in the last reign, made some pro posals to the same effect, but was baffled by a power lul opposition. Count Malthus, formerly Minister of Finance to the Ex-King of Westphalia, who carries on the ne. gociation respecting the purchase of the estate of Ochsenhausen, is still here. WARSAW, His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constan tine will shortly leave this city to go to Moscow. Mr. Livingston, a Member of the American Em bassy at Paris, is gone from this city to Putawy. HANOVER, SEPTEMBER 2e. We have certain information that a foreign Go vcrnment intends to declare that the University of Gottingen shall be the University for its subjects, as has been door before by the Government of the Duchy wf Brunswick. This new public acknowledgment of the great excellence of our University, which is famed for its admirable arrangements end the merits of the Professors, must rejoice every friend to the sciences, and particularly remind every Hanoverian, that the reputation which our University so justly enjoys, in and out of Germany, is chiefly owing to the inces sant care which our august Sovereign and the Go vernment have always bestowed on this institution. PYRMONT. SEPTEMBER st. If the fine weather which we have had this month should continue to the end of it, we may flatter our. selves that the waters of this place will give new health and strength to his Highness Prince Hardenburg. From the use of the Chalybeate springs both inter nally and externally, the general health of the illus trious patient daily improves, his returning bodily strength allows him daily to take moderate exercise, and he is also able to attend pretty constantly to the public business which is caused by the regular arrival of several Couriers every week. We learn that the Prince will remain here till about the Sd of October, after which he will give himself entirely up to the duties of his exalted station. UTOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER set The corvette the Africa, belonging to the Pacha of Egypt, commanded by Hafia Ali, having performed at Haulm, near Gottenburgb, a strict quarantine of 40 days for the crew and 48 for the cargo, which bat been aired and fumigated piece by piece, has conti nued her voyage to the Sound, and is expected here shortly. The names of the 62 persons who were con demned in this kingdom in 1816, for smuggling, in penalties amounting together to 21,715 dollars have , been made public in the newspapers, and at the same time 24 of them are pointed out as persons who have rendered themselves unworthy of being noticed or of taking part in Elections for places in which the con fidence of their fellow-citizens is required. The crew of the Swedish vessel commanded by Captain Witstein, who bad forcibly seised on his person and the ship, have been arrested at Dartmouth, by the activity of the Swedish Consul-General, and sent prisoners hither. As the Elections of Deputies for the Diet in Nor way will soon begin, an article in the State Gazette of Norway shears the necessity of not chasing only peasants and burghers, who with merely the practical knowledge of their profession, would be as incapable of judging alone of the business and wants of the State, as many recluse literati with their theories. Redeemed paper currency, to the amount of 1,077,477 dollars, has lately been burnt at Christiana. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 17. The Emperor's Ukase respecting the Army, de clares the levy of recruiu to be unnecessary this year also, on account of the peace, which, by the blessing of the ALMIGHTY, prevails in Europe. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 24. Jerome Bonaparte is said to have purchased the estate of EngersfielJ, adjacant to his estate of Schonen. Madame Murat, it is said, has purchased far nine hundred thousand florins the Lordship of Ort, be tween Vienna and Presburgh, belonging to the Banker, Count Fries. The Count bas just returned from Prague, where be is reported to have concluded with Fuuche, iu conjunction with the Banker of, Prague, M. Von .Lamel, the sale ci bit estate near! Paris.
