I pt , 41r t .., • 434i-,l=',Cl" )14' - LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 28 Tluee o'iluck, p. m. The French Papers of Thursday late have the:veil. They contaia no further particulars respecting the late conspiracy. fhe Gin: le de France says, that the principal firebrands were in the Legion de M.:untie Several offieers of that regiment have been arrestei, and seven officers of the second regi ment of the 11. Tel Guard are in custuly, A rumour was circulated of the death of the king by the con sp'ratars, and the proscribed list of victims who were marked out for destruction in the first instance con sists of flity-two ?lames. A •sergeant major of the second regiment of guard:; diteeted ati gave infor mation of the plot. The . superior officers of his curls passed the night of Friday se'unight under Cp.! suspended. sword of Damocles. A trifling occur rence retarded the murderous enterprise till the following night. The Government, apprised of the intentions of the conspirators, and telling upon the fidelity of the other corps, and upon the soldiers even whom the conspirators reckoned upon seducing from their allegiance, doubted whether they ought to allow them to commence the attack; a pruden tial motive induced the sahlicks to prevent the ex plosion. It W4LS desirable that not a single victim shou'd full. Tuffs was not easily to be avoided, since the attack was at be made in the dead of the night by a desperate herds of traitors.—Agreeably to the information which we have received from persons of respectability, it appears that the princi pal haunts of the conspirators was in the street Moatmartre. The Pecs:dent of the club was an officer of infantry, who hal assumed the mane of Captain Pilot. according to the las . : advises, was perfectly tranquil, utul the, germs of the con spiracy are said to be destroyed. Tire late inten tional fires in Paris are supposed to be connected with the plot, and an attempt has since been made to set fire to the stables of the King. • The fillowing article, respecting sime of the witnesses ug.:inst the Qaeen, app , :ars in tats Jaurnal des Debals of Thurs lay.

A letter from Naples, of the recent date of the Bth inst , states, that the deputation from Palermo, •consisting of eight members of the Provisional Junta, to negotiate for the independence of Sicily, returned on the 6th, with a refusal on the part of the Neapoliton Government. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agedt to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated the Sd inst. "Intelligen , e has been received here, that the 91- gerine Squadron has returned to Algiers, after cap turing three Tunisian and three Tuscan vessels: the plague still exists at that place. By letters re ceived from"Majore-a, it appears that the plague is now raging in the villages of San Severn, Arta, San Lorensci, and Cap de Peril; but it is thought it will nut spread flintier, as the best precaations are taken, by drawing a cordon around the infected villages, the duty of which is performed exclusively by officers, who mount guard themselves." Itithin the recollection of many Gentlemen now at the Bar, the following circumstance occurred in the Court at Carlisle :—A H goiander was (under the firm of oath us adminis,ered its the English Courts) giving such evidence, in a particular cause, as convinced every one who heatd him that he was giving Ease testimony. It wits suggested by tile opponent Counsel, that he should be sworn after the custom of the Highlanders, viz. that he should hold up his right hand, and imprecate curses upun himselt and all his connections, if what he was stating was not true.—Alter this was done, the wily witness declined giving a word of the same evidence, ahreudly observing, " that there was a hantle of difference boween blowing on a buke (book)( and d—ning a mun's aim saul." A whale, of the liner species, but much larger than common, had run itself ashore on one of the sand banks at the mouth of the Tay. Early on Sunday sennight it was discovered by two of the ferry-pilots, in East Pool, below the light-house, in about four feet of water. After the surprise of the pil..ts was abated, they proceeded to secure the fish by puttirg out its eyes with the boat•hoJk, and inflicting several deep wounds with their knives— On Tuez.day it was brought up the river to one of the whale y arils. The extreme length of the whale is 50 1 i f..et ; the largest cireunaterenee,•2s feet ; length of the aperture of the mouth, 10 feet t breadth across the tail, 10 feet; weight by calcu lation, ulmut 25 tons; and it is supposed that it will produce about two tons of nil. The r e ume u t o f the hulk or vessel belonging to the Police Establishment from Somerset-Louse to without auv notice, wad the employment of the !liver Putrule to protect the Italian witnesses aidged at Cotton-yard, has afforded an opportunity to the river pirates to renew their depredations upon the public. On Wednesday night a desperate gang of thieves boarded a barge lying at the Southwark Midge, and succeeded in robbing her of four valu übte puelegcs, besides making iotempts upon others. Surely, if the service of the State on this occasion r, quires the empluyntent of the p:ice wateitmen for any oth.cr Limn their ri.gular duty, the public has a ri g id to expect that mlditional hands should be enguged,litseems otherwise a neglect of the pub lie secuc..y. A person is in custody, who heretofore was not a suspected character, charged on suspicion cf passing fiirged notes. On searching some apartments in the neighbourhood of Lawrence-lane, two hundred it. notes were found, and sixty forged 51. notes. In Newgate there are seventy more prisoners for trial at present, than there were at this time last year, many of whom are for passing forged notes. It is much to be lamented that the manufacturers and fabricators of spurious bank mites cannot be dis covered. The telegraph at the Horse Guards communicates to the King, at his retreat in Windsor Great Parks the proceedings in the House of Lords every half hour. As his Majesty receives his infiirmation only from his own servants, it is possible that he is not made acquainted with the agitation that prevails in the country. Relief to Ship-owners.—By a recent Act of Par. liament (Ist Geo IV. cap. IS) it is enacted, that nothing its the laws in force "shall extend to re. qiiire any license or bond, or to forfeit any boat for want thereof, which shall belong to any square.. rigged ship or vessel, on account of the dimensions or construction of such boat, provided such boat is with the ship or vessel, or employed on the duty or service of the ship cr vessel to which it may belong.' BILL STICKEns.—The public in general are per haps not aware of a very important Act which was lately passed, viz. cap. 56 of the present Session, by which persons who shall willfully or maliciously do or commit any daniage, injury, or spoil, to er upon any building, or to or upon any real or personal property of any nature or kind whatsoever, are sub ject, on conviction before one Justice within four calendar months, to a penalty of 51. and in default of payment, may be committed to hard labour for three calendar months. Aud the offender may be aprehended in the act by any constable, or the owner of the building or his servants, without any warrant. Murder and Robbery.—At an early hour on Wed.• nesday morning, us some labourers were crossing the marshes at Temple Mills, near Lea Bridge, they we►e alarmed at hearing deep groans, as if some person in distress, and on proceeding to an adjacent ditch, near a small pond of w .ter, to ascertain the cause of them, they discovered a crorpulent respect. ably dressed m.tn, apparently a foreigner, about 40 years of age, lying in it. He was quite a ; eechless; his clothes, which were torn in many places, were stiff with clotted blood, both his eyes were black, his titce much swelled, and his features disfigured from the many deep wounds which were inflicted on va rious parts of the head —He was taken to the hos pital, and expired next morning. On Saturday last a Coroner's inquest sat on the body, and returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." '2lirtbs. At Fdinhorgh, the Itt.llon.
