1: 1. PROSACUTIONS OF THE FRENCH PA mil•••••••••.P. PARIS, MARCH 29. The affair of the editors of the Journal merce and of,the Courier 'Francois has been before the Tribune of Correctional Police. M. Car.: don, the editor of the Journal du Commerce, *as first heard for the article in that paper of March 11,11/15, which was denounced to .the Chamber of Deputies, by M. Fre:tiny. , The Court condemned Cardon to three months imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 francs," ordered that he should be bound to insert the present aentence.bi his paper within three days, and con demned him besides in costs. The Tribunal then proceeded to try separately the accusations against the eJitor of the Journal du Commerce and of the Courier Francois, for having given an account, without being authorised. of the secret sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on the Bth of February, for the discussion on the Addrtis; and for having, besides, excited the citizens to hatred and contempt of the' King's Government, by attributing to the President of the Council of Ministers language which' he did not hold, viz.—that M. de Villel4 replying to Messrs. de la Bourdonnayeand Delalot, had wird 'that the French Government has, relativelycto Spain, done all it could to favour the insurgents. The King's Counsel, after some observations, prayed for judgment on both the accused, and ttatthey should be sentenced to three months imprisonniebt,And afine' of 3000 francs each. , I, The-Court sentenced Messrs. Cardoit and Legrai veux, responsible Editors of the two Journals, as they refused to give up the names of the authors of the articles, to three months imprisonment, and to a fine of 2000 francs each ; declared the seizure of the numb bets of the 9th of February to be valid ; ordered the copies to be torn to pieces, and condemned these Edi tors albo in costs. The affair of the young men arrested in the tumult of the 3d and 6th of March, was divided, and tried by the Court of Correctional Police, on two separate slays: on the first, six persons were implicated; viz.-- Blochet, aged 40, tailor; Choffard, apothecary pupil; Arnout, 33, merchant's clerk ; Evrard, cutler ; Diolot, 26; and Claitte, traveller. The last appeared on a summons, the others were prisoners. - M. Bellot, the King's Advocate, gave a summary of the grounds of the accusation. Blochet was accused of having violedtly resisted gendarmes, who wished to hinder him from crossing the Pont Louis XVL and of having insulted by gestures, a Commissary of Police, in seizing him by the collar. The others are ac-1 cused of having added seditious cries to those ofl " Vire illanud I Five le Cole Gauche! Vivela ' The witnesses being called, most of whom were gen darmes who" had assisted in arresting the prisoners, one deposed that Diolot had cried, " Down with the hussars of the guillotine." M. Blainvillier, a young advocate, in his defence of Choffard, pretended that the assemblage of the 3d of March was not seditious"; and was interrupted by the President, who told hind he was preaching resistance to the armed force, and the defence of the sovereignty of the people. After hearing the Counsel of the other persons, the Tribune condemned Blochet to two months imprisonment and a fine of 50 francs ; Choffard eight months and 100 francs ; Arnout and Diolot, each six months and .50 francs; Errard two months and 25 francs; and Claitte, fifteen days' imprisonment and 16 francs fine.- THE EVENING StAIL.

We have received this forenoon, br Express, the following accounts from Paris dispatched on Satur day evening : “ PARIS, SATCRINLY, FITZ IYCLOCI, MC. cc I have just learned that dispatches have been re ceived from the Duke de BELLurro, which state his arrival at the army, the condition in which he found it, and the measures he deems necessary to qualify the troops for immediate operations. di The report of General Gorta.zumor is, in all its snore material points, confirmed; but grrAt o blame is imputed to the General himself, and especially to' the (Niters in his confidence. The General insists on. having his conduct submitted to the judgment al _ a Council of War. 64 The Duke de Baurero had called together the Commanding Offices of the several regiments, and questioned them as to tbolfait that animated their troops. Their reports were getun2lly unfavourable. it appeared, on inquiry, that the work of seduction had been chiefly carried on by soldiers pretending to be of the Army of the Faith, but who were, in fact, emissaries of the Coustitutionalpeety. g , To prevent such deceptions in ftititre, the Marshal has issued an order f,orbidding affil intercourse between the troops of the two nations ; so that any effective co operation on the pert olds* Array of the Faith is now nearly out of the question. " One' important arni of i nfts i on may be thus cceusidered as already lopped off The equipments of the army have been also found by the Marshal in a very unsatisfactory state. The . conduct of certain Employes in the Department, with respect to this branch of the service, is said to be with, out excuse; and many removals at least must inevi• tably take place. 'There has been atone is abund _ =co ta peones* whams/vas wined. .n 'MOONS* It is supposed,:butan aetdtd ttiretiar,lllo intentions of d Goyersualaaaiald b4ve ltd to the snalyavations that have been discoversll - It is certain, however, that *hammer . exist in the materiel of the army, they may, with . the resources which this Government Las at its.ceatimand o be very speedily repikerd; especially since the Mi nister at War is himself now .on. the spot to see his plea orders faithteli; obeyed. It is not, therefore, imagined that thredvance pf the army will be post poped beyond,* Week Or tto•at the farthest. , "The reported • irruption of MZKA into the French teritory is not credited here, in quarters which I have found the best informed on Spanish matters." Three days' French Papers have reached us, but the intelligence they contain may be very briefly summed up. A report prevailed in Paris on Thurs day and Friday that MINA had attacked-the French frontier, and " taken off a corps of Spaniards." That . an, Officer of so enterprising a character as MINA may have become impatient at the menaces of the French .troops *long delayed to be put into execution, is na tural enough ; and that he would be fully justified in not,waiting the attack of the French, is certain, but still we do not believe the report ; an& confider it as one of those fabrications which has for its object toihroW the onus of breaking the peace on &pain; as if the speech of Loots XVIII. was not of itself a de clatation of War, The French Papers of Saturday are silent as to the disorganization of the Army of the Pyrennees, with the exception of theilleaiteur, which has an article more suspicious froniits verbiage than the silence of the other journali. Under the head Bourdeaux it thus describes the disposition of the troops in that city :—" It would be difficult to express the joy of the brave soldiers who are so happy as to serve 'under the orders of a Bonmsow. They advance towards the frontier filled with a noble enthusiasm, and animated with the most lively ardour to combat, under colours without blemish, the enemies of legiti. limy and true liberty !" The departure of the Duchess d'Atrootmaatz for Bourdeaux, to join her husband, is fixed for the2d of April ; from which•it is probable that the entry of the French into the Peninsula is not so near as has been conjectured-- The few Spaniards who remained in Paris were ire= paring to quit ihat capital. The Count , de Tom's% who has resided there for the last two years,.wat about to repair to London. , . Petitions against the war continue to be presented to the Chamber of Deputies.. One. of the latest is, from Marseilles, whith, after demonstrating the ab curabtrof she fears of the moral /contagion. of the . Constitution . of the Certes, sheiieffickdaligerous seqpeaces of war. The consequences, hoWever, pointed out by the good 'peopre:Of *rseilles, are not cf* political nature, and mightbected against any war,, just or unjust. The South of - France, they say, which has already lost its-olive plantations, ithich were the chief source of its wealth, by theinclemency of - the season, will soon see its vineyards perish, which are its only remaining resource. Marseilles, which h obliged to make its vessels, employed op long voyages sail along the whole eastern cpast otSpaio, and Into the ocean by the Straityof, Gibraltar, .will ngain see them rotting in its port, its-seamen .reduced to beg gary, and most of its ateliers closed. The ,Eloik contains an article from Pau, which states that several French Officers, condemned for political offences, who have taken refuge in Spain, have attempted to seduce the French soldiers; in the jittle commune of Biciaton, which is separated from the Spanish frontier by the Bidiessoa, the Eloile, states, that the Officers invited two soldiers to cross the river, offering them " fifteen penee a day and the glory of serving the Emperor," but their virtue was proof against so strong a temptation. The attempts to seduce the French soldiery, how ever, are not confined to the Officers in Spain. Count de POvszooa, Prefect of the Department of the Landes, which is situated between Bayonne and Boon. deaux, has issued a Proclamation, in which he says he' has " learnt with indignation the guilty Manounes, by means of which certain individuals are endea vowing to shati e utherldelity of the brave troops which 'ate now *wiing the department on their way to the army. These criminal attempts have been, made in every ptisaffide way, by incendiary language and the distribution of infaMous writings. Nothing, in,short, ha; been neglected by these artisans of trou ble and .discord, to attain their object." The Procla ination adds that the soldiers " repel, with contempt, these insinuations, as cowardly as they are perfidiods." The accounts from Madrid to the French Papers. are to the IN inst., The KING' left Madrid n on the' 90th; according to the precoacortatassaagement., .His Masora , was accompanied by nearirepoo may. *bp were expected to escort him as far ahrie blanche Tbalsopes that were founded by theetsensitn of ptiltlit' order, On the resistance thatllisilopartuie;Would erld counter either fion the . 111hak,italer the fa= 3.: have been entirely ameatea. cost left the capital, ai ifseiPAßagruillifoinglialk '" • amid the acclamations of she people. , Pr' from Madrid of the same date 1'0,10000 N i :ft would close the Session as se4i i i s S h,yr i ii;1404,4 4 4. thatshe Kos- had paved Oman, whiit4r,.‘444 adiown to dashlOth .of April. the day in athiskiliell . _ . wcpuld hold their first sitting in Seville: - The Minis ters geho.4kad Swx Mtoort. were to. resmictAcTr.

Count d' AMA AMA RA NTS has attempted to get up an insurrection. The Count d'AtissAL has written to the Minis ter of War, soliciting to be allowed to accompany his MA - tarry to the confines of the department under his jurisdiction. He has resigned the post of Political Chief, seeing that he commands the army of reserve, which, in his opinion, ought already to be organized and without the capital. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, MARCH 28. We are at length in great hopes that the connect. ing links of the plots which have so long agitated France will be discovered; and the ringkaders of the conspiracy brought to justice. A personage of some diitinction, the Marechal de Camp Baron Piat, au Officer of the Legion of Honour, and a Knight of St. Louis, has been arrested. This Officer, who ser►ed Under Bonaparte, was raised in 1809 to the con& mand of the 85th Regiment of Infantry, and was then a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. In 1810 1 he was made an Officer of the Legion and a Baron. On the 3d of April, 1813, he was made General of 13igade, answering to the rank of Marechal de Camp, in s which he was not only maintained on the Restora• Lien, bnt was als6 created a Knight of Sr. Louis, and took the oath of allegiance to the Boutbons; an oath which (like so many other persons) be violated in the rebellion of the Hundred Days. However, he has still been retained in the cadres derarin(r, wher* he figures among the Marechaux de Camp disponible& Piat engaged in a plot, the first object of which was to attempt to debauch the army, of the Pyrenees .The 'discovery was effected in the following manners Information was brought to the Police that sixteew persons had engaged the whole of the Bordeaux dill.' gence to themselves. Some gendarmes in disguiai were in consequence sent to watch the diligence as it left the usual place of departure in Paris. They ob -eerved that only twelve individisals tick their seats in it there; bqt torninssing to folioir it, they found that, at a little. distance,froop ,Paris, four others, among whom was Baron Piat.joined the vehicle. Hereupon the gendarmes stopped the diligent* and . brought it beck to the Prefecture de police, where...the baggage of the travellers tviretwifitrea, and - ftmnil to be full of tricolor flags and cockades, revolutionary prod*. mations and letters, which proved the existence and: nature of the new plot. It was now late at night.: The next morning at day-break the Prefect of Police.; 'waited on the Minister of War, and had a confirm* with him of three hours. At two o'clock a Council of Ministers was astern.: bled, when the Duke de Bellune agreed to set of instantly for the pyrennees. Together wish Fiat's journey are combined several other revolutionary measures.

There information was obtained of the discontent that prevailed among the Officers and soldiery, who, in 636 i-retreat, declared they' were surrounded and lost, swearing iengeanciragalnai Amarante, who had deceived them. The towna, where — the Rebels had been, experienced the greatest insults and hardships, owing to the robheriesthey had ronunitted.
