PRIG ATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PA.RIS MAY 16.—The trial of the conspirators goes on, and some singular revelations are made. ." ---44 Where is NANTIL ? where did he get- his money ? how came he to escape - ? why was not the order given to arrest him the same as the other's ?" Such are the questions put by the Liberals, and which they answer, in the _same breath by saying that this is a conspiracy organized y Government, the same as those of Lyons, Grenoble, Nismes, &c. In this assertion there' is both falsehood and bad faith.—lt is well knc.win that the troubles in the South were the work of the CANCELS and the DoNsAniEus, sup ported by - kpower behind the Throne, but th a t the Governinent exerted all the power it was permitted to exercise to unmask the authors Bvltom it could not punish ; but such is the compo sition of the French Tribunals, which are with out exception in the Ultra interest, that Colonel t'Anvir.a and M. SENNEVILLE were condemned to fine and imprisonment, as having libelled the well ',flown authors of the conspiracy and massacre.— more recent instance proves that the Tribunals of 1821 are no better thari those of 1818, for 13ElloAssE. the infamous BERGASSE who published a work openly calling on the old Nobles and Priests to rise on the public, was acquitted, though Prosecuted at the suit of Government: It is pos- Sible then that some worthy Ultras may be at the botto m of this new plot, and that a Noble Duke Sit " as . a Judge in a cause w h ere i n h e i s p ersona ll y ; ' at erestecl; but Government, i. e. the executive P ) wer, or Ministry, is as much a stranger to these l i rrigues as it was t o t h e mur d er of the Duke of C ouncil of which it wa s .equa lly , acc u se d. The fault of Ministers certainly committed a .great in retarding the execution of preventive F er sures until the moment the bomb w a s t o b urs t, O r by so doing NANTIL and several others es caped, but that was merely the effect of chance. he English Government acted precisely "the acme way in the Cato-street conspiracy, but with bett er success. The French Ministry by so a cing hoped to catch all in the net; the great fish vi ) as too cra ft y, an d t h e sma ll f ry only fell vic itcss usual, to the crimes of others.

Crown Prince has had are. lapse within these few days; but it was not thought of slifficieni importance to issue any Bulletins. " Count Schwerin, who founded the debating society, bul which was forbidden by the Government, has obtained from his Majesty leave of absence for half a year, to make a tour through Norway and Sweden, with a view to the Statistics of the two Kingdoms. " A very bitter literary dispute respecting the political opi- . nions expressed in the work Tessin and Tessiniana,' has broken out between Count Adlerspave, the anonymous author of a cri ticism on the work, and President Baron Von Ehrenhcim, the author of it. " The Ist of May, which is a pcpular festival for the citizens of Stockholm, was favCured by the finest weather. As soon as the King with a numerous and splendid suite appeared in the Park, the most -lively acclathations and cries of joy re sounded on every side. Her Royal Highness the Princess was likewise there With her Court. • All the Foreign Ministers were iresent, among whom the British Ambassador, Lord Fitz gerald, and the Spanish Ambassador, Chevalier Moreno, were particularly distinguished by their expensive and splendid equipages. " COPENHAGEN, MAY 3—Mr. Foster, the British Ambas sador, having obtained leave of absence for six months, has had his audience of leave of their Majesties. " Baron Nicolay ; the Russian Ambassador, is gone with his family to Kiel, and will go by way of Glukstadt and Cux- haven to Lyndon. " SAXOWY, MAY 10.—We hear that the Government of Saxe-Weimarhas been induced, by representations from abroad, to direct its serious attention to the proceedings, of a set of Mystics, Fanatics, and Sectarians, 'in the• towns of Sulze, Ilmenau, Jena, and Alstidt; which. are said to be intimately connected with the Tract Societies at Seeberg and Basle. It is probable that particular accounts will be made public. " ScriwETtiN, MAY 9.—His Highness the highly respected Duke Adolphus Frederick of Mecklenburg, died here after a short illness, yesterday afternoon, to the great sorrow of the Grand Ducal family, and of the numerous persons to whom he, was a generous benefactor. " FRONTIERS oF MoLDAvrA, Arnlr.lB.=-Ilis Majesty the. Emperor Alexander has fixed a term of seven days for the dissolution of the Greek corps formed by Ypsilanti in Molda via and Wallachia, and for the return of those who are Russian subjects, or under Russian protection. This time expired to day. Up to the 16th no steps towards compliance with the or der were observed ; on the contrary the Greek troops still at Jassy had gone to join Ypsilanti. " According to late' accounts, the Moldavians and Walla chians are stated to have declared themselVes ready to give up the authvrs of the disturbances, especially Theodore, if all the rer were assured of entire amnesty." [Extract of a Letter from New Yorl, 'April 14.] " Captain CHAnLEs MYRICK, late of the brig Corach, of Boston, arrived here yesterday from Havanna. Captain MYRICK left the city of Mexico on the 4th of February last, where he with his crew were liberated from prison, after nearly three years confinement. The mate of the Corach, Mr. PHILIP GARDINER, a native of England, Mr. PETER PR ITT, the interpreter, and four sailors, principally Englishmen, were all massacred by the Spaniards at Martian, fifty leagues to the north of San Bias, On the conti nent. Captain MY RICK was liberated under the new Constitution, as were also the Gentlemen above-mentioned. Capt. M. adds, that Mexico was in a revolutionary state, and that 5000 in surgent troops have fortified themselves on a mountain, about 18 leagues from Mexico ; the city was in a dreadful state of poverty. Capt. M. arrived at Havanna in a Spanish King's schooner from La Vera Cruz, having sailed in company with a fleet of fire sail, with five millions of i dollars on board." It has been confidently reported, within the last few days, that the QUEEN has addressed another Letter to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, signi fying that she did not intend to urge any Claims respecting the Coronation, but was ready to sub mit to any arrangement on that head that might be most conducive to the preservation of national ranquillity. This report appeared so strongly to gain ground that it was generally thought to be well-founded. Such, we hope, is really the case ; and if so, how must all wise and honest men condemn those officious persons who, under a pretence of respect for TILE QUEEN, and zeal for her rights and honours, appear anxious to re-" , vive a subject that lIER MAJESTY must wish to have buried for ever in oblivion !—lt is observed, in a Morning Paper of this day, that " the Coro- nation in England having been so long deferred, is a ceremony which is at least not indispensable to the exercise of the Royal Functions." Admit ting the truth of this remark, it follows not that His MAJESTY should not be fully invested with whatever can give efficacy, grace, and dignky to the Royal Character. But if the arts of Party are to be put in force, and attempts are made to urge THE QUEEN' to demand rights, privi leges, and honours, which it should be deemed at present expedient to withhold, we should wish the awful ceremony of a Coronation to be sus pended, however advantageous to various classes of the People and gratifying to the Empire at large. by letters of the3oth of April, received yester day from Alg - esiras, it appears that in the empire of Morocco the state of things which existed prior to the contest for the crown is nearly re established. The last accounts. from Tangier are that MuLEY SOLIMAN, the old Emperor, has sent his nephew,, MULEY ZAID, a pris)ner to that place, and made his entry into Fez. On this event another claimant for the Crolvn made his appearance; but he proved unable to support his pretensions, and soon fled to the mountains. Tetuan still held out against Mur.r.y SOLIMAN; in consequence of which he had ordered the place to be blockaded, SIELP NEWS. GRAVESEND, MAY 21.—Arrived the Warren Hastings, Larkins, from China.

The two troops of Yeomanry Catalry, raised at Stockton and its neighbourhood, were inspectEd Off Friday se'nnight previous to their going off permanent duty, by Lieut.-Colonel Thaekweli, commanding the 15th, or King's Hussars, when the Inspecting Officer was pleased to express his " entire ap probation of the creditable appearance, steadiness, and general propriety of movement of the two troops." The members of the corps have been further flattered by a communication from Sir .T. Byng, expressive of his satisfaction.-(Newcastle Chronicle.) The 11th Regiment of Foot have replaced the Veterans in the Citadel.--(Plymouth Telegraph.) The 19th Lancers, now at 'Manchester, are to embark for Ire land to relieve the Queen's Bays, ordered home, and the 16th Lancers, at Sheffield, are to march for Manchester. The East and West Kent Regiments are now embodied and training, theforraer at Canterbury, and the latter at Maidstone. The Cambridgeshire Militia, under the command of Colonel Vachell, 7 were embodied on Wednesday last, at Ely, to be trained and exercised for twenty-eight days. • The Royal London Militia finished their annual training yesterday. On dismissing them, Sir Claudius Hunter, their Colonel, ordered every, man a liberal amply of beer to drink the King's health, and the Officers had their last dinner, where health and happiness to the King was reiterated in the cheer ful glass, and loYalty,, moderation, and good humour was the finale of the day. His MAJESTY suffered a slight operation on Friday evening,- by having a small tumour re moved from the head. Mr. ASTLEY COOPER. performed the operation with his usual ability, and it - was accompanied by no pain or inconve- nience. MS MAJESTY intends honouring the Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S splendid fete, on Friday, with his presence. It will be one of the most brilliant fetes of the season. The entertainments are to commence with a grand dinner ; after Whic.h there will be a Concert of Vocll and Instrumen tal Music, interspersed with pr•ocer•bes dr•anra tiqucs by the French Comedians ; and the whole will conclude with a grand ball and supper. The Princess AUGUSTA, we find, is to visit Drury-Lane Theatre this evening. • .

Frankfort Papers to the 14th inst. arrived last night. In advices from Vienna of the 17th inst. some doubt is expresse'd whether the Emperor ALEXANDER would visit that city on his way to St. Petersburg!). There was a rumour in circu lation that it had been decided at Laybach that a Congress should be held at Florence next Sep tember. On the'2Bth.of last month, Lard BURGITERSII, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary at the Court of Turin, gave a . splendid fete at his palace, to which the most. distinguished persons, both natives and foreigners, were in vited. 'lt was also honoured by the presence of the hereditary Prince, his Royal and. Imperial Highness the Archduke LEOPOLD, the Arch duchess MARIA: ANNA, and of the Princes of,the Royal Houses of Saxony., Sardinia, and Denmark. The entertainment consisted of a concert of se lect and well executed music, both vocal and instrumental, composed with the most profound science, as was acknowledged by all present, by the Minister himself. The richness and elegance with which the saloon was decorated, and the excellence of the refreshments, corresponded with the known magnificence and good taste of that distinguished Nobleman. We have lately had occasion to notice his Grace the Duke of Wr.r.r.i.NtoTox's liberal donations of ..CLO to the Society for the Relief of Small Debtors, and 100 guineas to the County Hospital : we have this week the_pleasure of adding another instance' of his munificence. - ills Grace has transmitted a donation of £OO to the Hampshire National Soliocl Society. We cannot record these repeated acts of liberality, Without- congratulating the County on the interest which is taken m the welfav of its establishments by this illustrious in dividual, who has recently become so closely connected with it; so bright an example, and in so high a station, will not be lost, we feel assured, on the several classes of that society . on which' its lustre is - immediately shed.—(llampshire Telegraph.) It is the intention of the Bishop of Chichester to hold two Visitations next month ; the first, for the Deaneries of Hast.: ings and Dallington, at Hastings, on Thursday, June kith the second, for theDeaueries of Lewes and Pcvensey, at Lewes, on the 17th. The Churchwardens and Overseers of Brighton have it •in contemplation to make the present quarter's Poor-Book, a three shilling rate. The last was a nine shilling rate. The Magistrates of Bristol intend rigidly to enforce the dif. ferent penalties of the Acts against the profanation of the Sab bath, and other immoralities. Five victuallers have been con victed befOre Magistrates in the penalty of 10s. cads, and c ost's, for having suffered tippling in their houses ; and two housed of Temple parish, were on Friday convicted in penalties of 40s. and costs, for harbouring idle and disorderly persons. The illagistrates of Stamford have come to the determina tion to compel publicans to sell ale, &c. 'by the frill lawful sealed measure only, instead of their present mode' of retailing by mugs and glasses. - . • On Wednesday last, the buildir* cf a Scone Bridge was be gun near Alnwick Abbey. It is to be erected over the Alne there, to avoid a dangerous. ford, which is often unsafe for a month together, in the winter. This useful work is under., taken at the expence of the Duke of Northumberland; to Whom a petition, 'numerously signed, was sent last year, repre.: sensing the peril to which passengers were exposed for want of such a communication, and praying his Grace to have the road turned, the better to effect this purpose. The : Duke, with his accustomed readiness to promote the public convenience, and also with the.view of keeping a number of men employed, con sented to the measure, and having obtained an order of Sessions for the purpose, the Bridge Surveyor attended accordingly, to assist in laying the first stone, POETRY.

Two Sweep stakes were admirably contested ; the third was a mile race, in which three flyipg leaps were taken over hurdles fixed on the course at equal Aistinces, and was won by half a neck. • 31r. Hewett, the Chairman of the Brighton Race Committee, is now actively employed in making arrangements for the ensu ing Races, which are this year to be on an extended scale. A Race , of 30 miles was run last week between two men, of the names of 'Faith! and Beaks, for a trifling wager, at New Buckenham, .in Norfolk, which was won by the former, who did the 30 miles; w.tlf apparent case, in five hours and nine minutrs. . Sir Bellingham Graham, -Bart. of Norton-Conyers, York shire, has taken Hill Place, in Hampshire county, the residence of the lata Richard Goodiad, Esq. The fox-hounds of 'the H. have been transferred to this Gentleman; they- will con tinue to hunt in the same county to whiah they have been ac customed. THE COnONATION.-The preparations for the Coronation are now carrying forward in West minster Hall with. great activity. All the smaller galleries, butleries, pantries and other erections, are completing, and the fronts of the side gal leries are covering with - canvass, which is after wards to be painted with Gothic ornaments. The roof of the Hall is also in a state of forwardness. The old lantern, which was in the.centre of the roof, and which was coeval with the building, was taken •down a few days since ; it was in a deplorable state of decay. A new lantern is im mediate!), to he erected, Even with the gal leries in the Hall, platforms are erected outside, into which.doors open from the Hall, so as to afford the necessary facilities of ingress and egress for the female spectators. There will be side en trances to, those platforms 'in Palace-yard, and elsewhere: The arrangements in Westminster Abbey are complete, with the exception of the ornamental part, which may be completed in a few weeks. The Abbey is open for public in spection.—(Morning Post.) It is very singular, that notwithstanding the present depressed state of " the Agricultural In terest," butter and poultry should in London and its environs maintain such extravagant prices. Indeed, it might not be amiss if the " Agricul tural Interest" within ten and twenty miles of London were to Petition Parliament to erect at the west and north-west ends of the town two or three respectable and convenient markets, similar to the Bath and Southampton markets, where re spectable farmers' wives and daughters might meet the consumers of the articles in question. The vacancy in the Irish Representative Peer age is expected to be supplied by the election of Lord Viscount POWERSCOLNIT. Great reductions among the junior and extra clerks in the Victualling-offices and Dock-yards at the out-ports, are to take place on the Bth of July. Several have had notice to quit those establishments at Plymouth and Plymouth-dock. The Board of Excise have issued orders, di recting do table beer to be henceforth sold at a higher rate than 18 shillings per barrel, exclu sive of duty. Retailers charging more than 12d. per quart are therefore liable to a penalty of 501. A very extensive failure in the spirit trade took place yesterday in the city. It is feared that the consequences of it will prove very se rious, from the large connections of the parties. The late amiable Marchioness of WORCESTER has left three young children to lament their pre mature loss. fRELA ADDRESS TO LORD BERESEORD.-The AG; dress to Lord BERESPORD, inserted in this Jay's Publication, was moved at the Board of Alder men by the Loan Miyon, and seconded by Alderman NUGENT—and in the Commons by Captain FrrzstmoNs . , and seconded by Mr: SuTTER: DIST LI iIANC ES lif IR E LAN D .--We regret to perceive by . a Proclamation issued this day by the Lords. Justices of Ireland, in the absence of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, that the Barony of Calmoy in the county of Kilkenny, and the Ba rony of Upper Ossory, in the Queen's County ; are nearly in a state approaching to rebellion 4 so much so that the Peace Preservation Act has been put in force in those districts. It is no less a subject of regret than surprise that these districts have been hitherto amongst the most. ,peaceable of the entire country, and leads us to apprehend that some secret en. , ginehas been but too successfully introduced to entrap the unwary inhabitants into acts destructive of fhe public tranquillity—and we call upon the loyal Protestants and Roman Catholics to use every -constitutional means in stemming the torrent of dissaffection ere it be too late, and crush the incipient treason lent it should arrive at an extremity that every well-disposed man must deplore ExeLANATIoN.----In consequence of An expla nation on the part of the Messrs. FiTzstmcN , , conveyed to us by a Gentleman of distinction, and. in whose character and honourwe have the most perfect confidence; and it appearing from his Statement r .that the publication in The Hibernian Journal of the 16th ult., which was supposed to reflect so .unjustly on the character of Mr. CON WAY, was not intended, in the most distant de= gree, to have such a reference, or to bear such au allusion, as conceived by Mr. C. but that it en tirely related to a work written, and not publish ed, under the title that gave offence to the au , thor. In consequen . Ce of such explanation, we can have no hesitation to say, that we feel ex. , tremely concerned at having, under the influence of what we then conceived a justly excited in dignation, published remarks. in The Stage; so offensive to the personal feelings of the gentlemen against whom they were directed. F. W. CONWAY, J. T. HAYDN. Hibernian Journal, May la.) The Earl of CHICHESTER has now in his pos session a thumb-ring of pure gold, but of very rude manufacture, which was ploughed up a few days ago, on his Lordship's estate in Sussex. Mr. ELLISTON is getting up a masked . festia a/ for June 18, in commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo; the KING sanctions the idea. TEnny is 'about to conclude his engagement at the Edinburgh Theatre ; after - which he re turns to take the Stage Management of the new Summer Theatre in the Haymarket. The Theatre has been a scene of great attrac tion this week. On Tuesday the performances were patronised by the Earl and Countess of DArtTmouTH, and on Thursday by the officers of the King's Own Stafford Militia. On both occa sions the Earl and Countess of DARTMOUTH at-- tended ; and on Thursday the Theatre was ho noured by the presence of His Excellency Earl TALBOT ; several families of distinction also visited the Theatre on that evening. The per formances - were received with great applause.-- (Stqprdshire Advertiser, May 19.) FRAUD IN SOVERElGNS.—Government has late ly detected a most extraordinary fraud, which threatens great loss to the currency. Sovereigns to a great extent have been counterfeited, by casing platina with gold, the specific gravity of the two metals being nearly equal. In melting down some Sovereigns, the platina was detected at the bottom of the crucible. DUEL PREVENTED.—A duel was to have taken place early yesterday morning in Copenhagen fields, between Mr. F—N and Mr. half-pay officers, but in consequence of infor mation received, they were surprised to find au enemy at the place of meeting; they, however, escaped. MOST DISTRESSING EVENT—A Venetian having obtained the affection of the daughter of a British Officer, both of whom were travelling for plea sure through Italy, and learning from the young Lady that her property could not devolve upon herself until the death of her father, contrived, after a solemn promise of her hand, to become acquainted with one of the domestics, an Italian, and to persuade him to the horrible act of poisoning the revered father, which he did by slow but ceatain means. The plot was discovered, but alas ! too late. The unsuspecting Officer died ) and' the young Lady remains in a state of distrac tion.
