ON THE VIEWS RECOMMENDED BY SIR FRANCIS A private letter from Paris, dated July 11, gives the following details respecting the plan of the late I.7l:rit. Royalist Conspiracy, but of which the Paris Jourials still continue to preserve ih silence :—" On Wednesday the 24th of June, on the rising of the King's Council at St. Cloud, the Ministers were to be seized by a de tachment of the horse grenadiers of the Ist regiment of La Roche Jacquelain, and conveyed to the fortress of Vincennes. A part of the 3d Regiment of the Guard, Colonel &miller de . Saterignu s. nett a part of the 2d Swiss Regiment, were to be posted in eatClo/1 WI the road from Vincennes to St. Cloud. About 5,090 men, composed of Garies-dit-Corps, Vendcans, the old Royal Volunteers, &e. were to assemble at the same hour in the Place du Carroesel e with a countersign, whence they were to march to difkrent predetermined points, and proceed to armee and carry off a certain number of the public functionaries The insurrection troops were to I,e, commanded by Generals C— and D—, as. sisted by several superior ofil.7ers of the Guntd, whose names circulate in public, but which I refrain from mentioning, in order to avoid the risk of injustice or error. Among the princistel leaders of the plot (who were not to act in a military eapacisy) are mentiotuel. MM. de ll—, brothers, de V—, de C—, ae I—, de P—, de T—, a, V—, and several others who occuppy a high rank in the state. On the first part of the plan brine n carried into eftect, hail the King, whose courage and firmness ofaharacter is known, rethsed to size his abdicatinn, it is raid that it was then the inteatilei of the esenSeriaters to proceed a la Paul preanicr. General Canuel was to be Minister of War; General . Donalieu; - Come.ander of the Division of Paris ; M. de Chateauleriand; Minister for Foreign ; M de Villele, Minister of the I ntsrior e M. di Breges, Minister of the Marine ; M. cis: Fitzjamee, Minister of the King s Household.; M. dc Is Bourdon naye, Minister of the Police, &c. Stich is the inthrtua- Hen which I have been Ali t° cbilect trout ;the best sources on this eeriness: nsph:a►y ; however, as I hare already said, fdo not pretend-to goarenteensw of the details. flad'a plan don - Mita, 'to absui'll, Seen successful ;tthe first steps of its se:es:aloe, it is certaia that the triumph of the rebels would- s oot liaise lasted 1.'4 hours. This is a salitevident truth ; and is con viction explains that perfect security which is muni &gel by all classes of citizens, even en the 'Change, where the public funds have not ceased to riso con siderably." Another letter, dated Paris; July IS, says:—" The investigation of the charges of conspiracy is carried on with great activity, under the special direction of M. Bellert, Proeureor-General, who, in bade cases, is in vested with discretionary power- The persaus arrested are still confined au secret.' Among the person: cited to appear, in order to be interrogated, urn mentioned Marshal du Cutup, Mon de 'Chnusigney ; Baron de Vietnenil ; Skutt Porsson, formerly - Commissery-Ge- , nerel of the Police at Marseilles ; Marteuville, the dramatic author ; Cana dos:Latour d'Auvcrgne; a Secretnry of M de Vitrolles, Ise. All General Canners oarers have been eeixed, mid are. with the proofs of his night, in the hands of the legal authorities. Some say that he is gone to La Vendee. others pretend that he has eecaped to Switzerland along with Gen.ral Dm:adieu. It IV - 68 yesterday reported that the Pro t:unser-Cie:tend blot . been authorized, by an express toiler of his Majesty, to issue citations for the appear ewe of Illtron do Count de the Duke de F Viscount de Count tic l'—, Co ionels La It--, Se—es—, 141 and several others. What is Meet worthy of eemark is, that public opinion' reeeirils the authors ot`this machination with so much esestampt,. that they are less the objects of in dignation than of comp.: ;siou, and that they. never were able tasnositheventer a moment the least ierious .urseasiness." • LL'l DLI Elan sr:.

A despatch came yesterday ei Jaffna: there are only about 200 n.u.i 'bN Alti 1.41. %iv r'ClaUf Cady; Lis dflaCilaleat is at a TIM Speech of Sir Francis Burdett It the celebra tion of his election, is swell worthy of attention—not for its orational merits, for they are much inferior to that vcry eloquent harangue of Mr. Canning at Liver pool, which it attempts to answer, but for the decla ration which it contains of the views of this leader of Reform. The Whigs, as a party, have grievously in jnred themselves, and, we will add, the people too, by that dereliction of principle which they showed in 1806, when they succeeded to power. They lost ail popu larity, and with the confidence of the people they lost the power cfserwing them, and of being; formi.loble-to the Pittites. The Reformers separated from the Whigs, and shewed mare hostility to them than to the friends of Ministers. This elevated Sir Francis Burdett hot* much too undisputed a sway among them. The late election for Westminster will be found to have ended ery much to remedy a state of things, which divided the sulrocates for liberty, to the advantage oi,:y of the Administration end of their ft,llowers. The West minster ch.clovs (we do 11Gt speak of the niAbefure the hustings) have shown of w::ai discrimination such a popalur body and thezeiZtre of what good materials we might expect the I louse of - Conn:ions to be composed, were its members all chosen--not by uni versal suffrai;e, hat by the middling classes, like the IVestminster Members. Mr. D. Kinnaird hart some pretensions, but he was obviously to be brought in by Sir Fr.incis, Mil the electors very properly rejected him when seek a man as Sir Samuel nomillywas his corn , petitur Drisjur Cartwright was with equal disorimina tiah not chosen. as being too old to fight that battle which the young will find it hard to win. The f runt also was not only rejected by the electors, but sem-lied also by the mob themselves. I-lad such a man beenat any censiderahle height on the poll, it wotild have done the greatest injury to the vitae of popular elections, by justifyiag the. ciearges brought against theirs by the opponents of reform ; but :lie contemptible utiunrity of this man, and the scorn with which he was treated at last, decidedly refete those charges. Sir S. Re nilly is cf the best moral among the Whigs. He is not a mere party man, like neee of thorn, but one of - the tecst benevolent heart, and comereheusiee views ; suit a man is a host, and is, as he ought to be, at time head of the poll. Sir Franeis Berdett's faithful ser vices merit the decided neekerity he has bad, notwith standing his wild % unhorsed sutrrage and bal:at. From th' • rs to recede, nod we rejoice at it. L • ate towards his eel leagee—let of reform, in the spirit ef his speech, no; p. • leery, Lit praclicaVe o)jects ; and whatev hate* opinions each may entertain, let atl u in obtaining what al desire, seine referm in tie repres2..auttion in Parrament.
