I PARIS, jir,.: l 4. • THE p rocession of Corpus Chr;st; took plate yes. terday in the Churches f Paris, with all the suitable Pomp and accustomed ceremonies. The churches Were filled with i eople, led thither by their piety or their curiosity ; and it must be acknowledged, that, independen t of the celehratir n of that mystery, there is in the manner of conduaing it something equally august and imposing, which d e li g h ts t h e eye, subd ues t h e imagination, and even makes the Protestant 'exclaim " I feel myself a Catholic on this festival." The Conspirators are placed on four benches, 'Which they occupy in the same order as when the aft of accusation was read .to then). GEORGES °C elli:llea the first place on the uppermost bench. They are all well clothed. They have their . eyes con. ttantly fixed on the Judges, and pay the greatest attention to the proceedings. RATISBOX, MAY 27.—The news from Paris has excited the greatest interest here. The several de_ potations at the Diet have testified their satisfattion 4 t,the great events of May 18.

"Every friend to the Cou itry poure d forth his blessings on the G overnment, which was i nsensibly healing the wounds of the State, when the horrible attempt of the 3d of Nivose was mediiated for its distraelion. It was well known that this attemp t had been suggested, and paid for by the- English Goverhinent : and the French, however various 'their general opinions ► might be, 'united in declaring judthe wickedness of it. The report of the Grand ge informs ut, that Frenchmen, who are un. worthy of that name, have been again vomited forth On our alnd, in order to make a ,6 simil ar attempt. What w as t h e objeCt of the Conspi racy ? The accused have it— have n ot only declared, but h ave made a Last the establishment of the Thron e of the toutasoNs. And what was the kind of Throne which they would have raised ? That which would have been decorated with fte poniards of assassins. Ultom did they wish to serve ? the remaies of d !U. githe Dynasty, in the pay ot a power, known by its national hatred to France : of a Dynaa.y, which, by Hying from a Constitutional Throne, had exposed the Natio n to all the horrors of Anarchy. lit ' . ,Froffi •„vlio m • did they receive their mission'? ad— • eth 4 ftiee . that the Nobili• were altogether i if and the Pen_ that t he Clergy were faithful, • _Ye in a stare of apathy.

Did he propse to derive any advan6ge from it ?" The Imperial Commissary, after statinit the cir cumstances of the mission of DAVID,, who, was ar rested at Calais about fifteen months ago,_ as he was going to fetch, from the midst of the Eoennies of France, a friend whom he wished to reconcile with MOREAU ; and after stating the mission of LAJoLAts, who, on his arrival at London, reported that MOREAU had declared for the Princes, drew his conclusions that MottE AU had taken part 0 the Conspiracy after the first debarkation of GEORGES. He proves it by the Correspondence which was esta blished about this period, between VI LLEDIE,UV and FR ESIsfIERES ; by the mission of LAtoLArs ; by the hope of the French Princes ; and lastly, by PICHEGRU being sent to execute the projed, the probable success of which, without doubt, MOREAU, had communicated. " Europe was astonished to see the re-union of MOREAU and PICHECRU. To excuse this recon ciliation, MOREAU represents, in vain, the return of the Emigrants, and the amnesty of the Chutians, whom he meets every where. Does he thence think himself authorized to conned} himself with a man whose treason is known to him ? " MOREAV, you are not a simple individual, as you represent yourself to be. You were a General in Chief. You had an appointment of 40,00 n francs, which is that of aCtuill service. You were attended by four Aides.de-Camp. You were there fore one of the first petsons in a Government, against which vou - avow that overtures have been made, even cn the pert of the Princes. You had duties to fulfil; and you ought to have given an account of the cri minal projects which had been confidentially comma_ nicated to you. Your silence respecting Flex EGRU, who ought to have been suspefted by you, is cUlpable. You had conferences with him, according to your own avowal ; but deny the first meeting, be cau.:eyou perceive that it was the most criminal-- You dare not confront yourself with two men, whose union with you would completely establish your cha ratter as an accomplice._ " You have received Peru ?GRU; and you nwn that. he questioned you upon the state of France, and the disposition of the Armies, &c. f,:r Mo. REALI quietly to hear-the questions of - the Agent of the British ?" The Imperial Commissary then explained the Plan of . condua which MOREAV . appears to have adopted on this occasion. " Gtoitars, lively and headstrong, accustomed to attacks of main force, was persuaded, that after a stroke of this kind, the white standard .‘"k'otild be unfurled: " PicHEditir, more discreet, was' of opinion, that this objed could not be obtained withbut an intermediate Agent, and he thought of Mn!? E ;az. The declaration of ROL AND, whose frankness is evident, unfolds the advantage that MOREAU thought , o derive from attacks directed by GEORGES and hi - 3 accomplices. The crime being accomplished, . MD- R rAt was to procetd to the Senate, and to take the reins of Government. " Moi'EAu, ymi have betrayed the National glory, or wbichyour'own made i part, The ser vices th3t you have rendered to yt,ur Country', ought to have made it More deai to you ; but they cannot excuse zlte en::!nous crime in which you have been concerrel.' The Commissary, after having spoken of those men, whose robberies in the WeSt.. had operated as reasons for associating them in this Conspiracy, passed immediately to the DUCORPS, the vile Mes engers of the Brigands, and who obtained by set:. vices of this krid, commissions as Officers from Lou is XVIII. He concluded with saying "M ay my painful office never more claim- the severity of national justice for a similar attempt." He closed with demanding Sentence of Death against the ac cused persons named in the AEI-of Accusation, ex cepting EVEN,',CARRON, GALLArs, ;Ind his wife, o f w h ose intentions the Court would judge. DommANGET, and several other official defend ers, demanded and obtained that the trial should be suspended for two hours, in Order to prepare their defence. The Sitting was accordingly suspended at eleven o'clock, and adjourned till one. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. LrctioaN, MAY 18.—On Tuesday last, all the English in this. City were arrested and conveyed to the new fortress: seals were put by the French upon all their papers, - warehouses, 'and effects.-- From this measure only such Englishmen Were ex ernoed, as have lived here for is years as Tuscan subjeas. VIENNA, MAY 23.—There is a talk now °fan important chlrige in the Political State of Europe. The principal item of this report is, that, as NAPO LEON BONAPARTE receives the Imperial Crown of France, Poland will, by the intervention of kussia, and with the consent of Austria and Prussia, receive a King in the person of Lours XVIII. Austria is to be indemnified for her part in the loss by the estates of the ELECTOR Of SALTZBURGH, and the latter will receive an equivalent in Tuicany. If this plan can be efilieted, and considered as a piece of disinterested magnanimity on the part of Russia, still the indemnification of Prussia, for what she will lose, appears liable to much difficulty. MANHEINr, MAY 27. —Men of consequence assert, that the - French Emperor has proposed to.the Courts of, Vienna, Petersburgh, aniiir Berlin, the' following new partitions :—Austria to have, the Inn quarter (without prejudice to Bavaria) ; the Archduke CHARLES, as Grand Master of the Teu tonic Order, to have the title of Eledor, and all the possessions of the Order of Malta, in Germany (which is to be entirely suppressed, as the English are masters of the Island of Mdlta), besid es t h e two Prussian Principalities in Franconia, of Ansv a ch add.

Tilts morning the D.:•.v Loyal Volunteers, under the-command of Col. t SI:OURT • left this place on their return home. A titer body of men ha“ been seldom seen untir arms ; their stria and re gular attention to their ditty, their steadiness in the field, and the correaness of their movements, give them all the appearance of a veteran Regiment, and is highly creditable to them as soldiers ;.and the gentlemanly manners of the Officers, anti very ex_ emplary condua of the whole Cnrps,is equally honour.' - able to them as men, and has secured them the esteem of the inhabitants, who part from them with retret. They were reviewed on Saturday morning by Col. BRF.RETON, who expressed himself highly gra,tir 4 ed by the soldier like appearance and high state 61discipline which they diiolayed.

He Was a very respeCiato 7.n in private life, and a good Performer in a variety of parts, but chiefly in comedy. From his partiality to the charader of Sir Peter Teazle, which he per formed very well, he always went :by the name of Sir Peter, among his friends. He ,quitted the Stage for•many years, and entered into• the business of hosiery, but having had too generous a confidence in hisfrionis, which were very numerous, he found that business unproduetive. For many years he had endeavoared to pro , :iire a situation on the Lon;:lon boards, bur without success, though several Per. forrners of much inferior merit have been able to se_ cure a station on those board;. He has left a wi dow in but indifferent circumstances. Musrc.—Mrs. DUSSEK'S Annual Cor,leert was held last night xt WILLIS's Rooms. SALOMON led, with his wonted skill, spirit and attention.

It is certainly a very disgraceful drltna. to France, and May perhaps be found, by the Continent in general, to be a deep tragedy. The famoui robber, known by the name of the Dervil, was executed at. Genoa on the 23th ult. He died with singular. firmness. He confessed having' killed nine men with his own hand. A private letter from Paris, of Dine r, says— ".

COURT OF IcING's.:NCEI, fast. ?-.c> CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAIN ‘ s'; BROWN, SEEZ-Is SHADLEY, AND BUTCHER. Dr. Tatham, a .Magistrate and Clergyman in the County of Bucks, had ; received inteli:sence of certain moun:ebanks,,who,had assembled to exhibit their fantastic amusements in his neighbourhood.. They had also established a sort of raffle.. The Doc. tor had signified his disapprobation of this entertain, ment, from the sense of his duty, as a Clergyman,: and a justice of the Peace. Mr. Brown, one or the Defendants, a person of considerable landed pro. perry, said to these friends of merriment, '" Do nut mind such a fool as Dr. Tatham, but keep on, my lads :" and he added, " that' he would turn the. Magistrate ant his Of f icers off the ground." The Clergyman resolved to perform his duty norwith. standing this opposition, and he went, attended by his servant and. a Constable, -into the field where these humble followers of Th a li a w e re playing theirpranks, pranks, and sheaving, their agility. The D.f6tor comManded the Constable to suppress this riot, when the latter, in the usual form, called upon six persons to assist him in the attempt. On this, Mr. Brown shook his .stick immediately before the head of the horse. of the Magistrate, calling out to the ,multitude, at the same instant, '' Halloo, my boys, let's cram them into a corner, and 'then spose them in the pond." In the sequel, the Cier_ gyman was thrown from his horse, and this lode cent exhibition was sufFered to proceed. The Learn ed Counsel then stated the share the other partict , had borne in the confiiet, and produced the affida vits, by which the allegations were supported. It appeared , That the Constable was either biassed .or intimidated, but from motives of hwnanity to him, this' moiion had no application.--.-Rule to sbew causes granted. . WFtrNESDAY, JUNE 13. . THE KING v.

But the Defendants insisted:mt his signing a written apology, to be inserted . in' :die same Paper, acknowledging that the -account' was inaccurate, .burnot specifying wherein the inaccu_ racy consisted ; which Mr. Burden declined, on the ground that he had already made an apology ; u on which he received two challenges, onel - o fight Cam, and another to fight Mr. Perry, and these challenges were much proniaied by Mr. N. P. \Vu_, then. A meeting of the Officers of the Corps to which Mr. Burden belongs was held ; and they determined that he ,hould not fight, and he abided by their de. termination, and preferred this application to the Calm: \ Mr. GARROW and Mr. WIGLEY shewed cause' against the Rule, and maintained that the har inuny of these two Corps of honourable men, united together .for the glorious defence of their Country, would never have been interrupted if it had not been for the ottcious publication of the pro- ceedings at the lon, which were not correctly re. presented by .the Prosecutor, Mr. Burden, who is a Drawing-master at Gloucester, and who had indu:g,eci his pencil a little in a Caricature, &c. in this case.

For these reasons they hoped the Court would TilOt think its extraordinary interference ne t cessary.- . Mi. ERSKINE supported the application for a Cri.. minal - InfOrtnition, with his usual ability. Lord ELLENP.OR9UCH observed, that although there We're 'some things in the case which one could Wish to have been otherwise, yet the Prosecutor was 'entitied - to* this' extraordinary interference of the 'Court. '''He did 'not. look upon the paragraph of the Prosecutor as 'a libel, yet it would have been better 'if it had not appeared; for what passed in a private tooth, although on A public subjeft, was not a fit 'matter of poblication in print, because upon all such . occasions there was' a' great chance of a mistinder. 'standing ;' this, therefore, might produce-a degree of irritation w hich it was desirable to avoid ; but here, after an ,apology had been made, another apology had been dielated, and-on the--party refusing to • sign it, he was callenged to fight two duels.— This was a very great and deliberate breach of the Peace, for. it was in cold blood, especially on the t • part of rite Defendant, Mr. N. P. Wathen, for he appeared to instigate the matter when there was :.no quarrel personally with him, and he was • not himself the person proposing to fight.
