Pic 11 ECIII and GEORGE. have escaped, hut the papers of the latter .have been seized, and MOREAU, LAjot— I,Als, and some others, have been arrested. Thi s is the substance of the Report made by the Grand Judge, and whether such a Conspiracy really existed, or whether it is a fabrication for the pur. Pose of effeding the ruin of Mot Au, it is not very easy at pr e sent to dete r mi ne :i t i s , however, a little singular, that if PtcHEcttu and GeoRGEs were really in Paris, and if the French Government were so completellr acquainted with every proceed_ ing of:the Conspirators —it is a little singular,• say, that such distinguished Leaders should have been suffered to es c a pe. Several Addresses hav e been presented to the First Consul from the Senate, the Legislative Body, and other Public Bodies, upon the deteaion of thi s Conspiracy. The General in Chief MURAT is appointed to the command of the Troops of the first division, and to that of the Garrison and National Guard of Paris, with the title of Governor of Paris, with a salary of 60,0c0 francs. PIZANI, of Ghent, is appointed Bishop of Namur. General Mor,TIER, Commander in Chief of the Army of Hanover, is appointed one of ti:e four Generals of the Guard.

THctonspiracy lately discovered was mu :711 !-.--,ork. tbngerous than was at first supposed. We are ; assured that 150 men were to assume the tin;forin of guides to seize BONAFARTE at Mal S 5,7 Whiie he was hunting, or wherever else he might be be found, and carry him off into a foreign C,,untry. rThe uniforms were discove re d in consequence of the ! information of one of the conspirators of the name of .GrikEL'E, who is now in confinement in the Temple. The Chief of the Chouans, GEORGES, only escaped by a quarter of an hour. He had slept in the. Village of Taverg, in the valley of Montmareticy,- - in . the cottage of a peasant, and his bed was found still warm. In consequence of the,information of the above-mentioned GRELE, the Officers of the Police repaired to the Mistress. of an Inn here. The sign of tit:. Conspirators was an English piece of gold. —She pretended , not to understand this sign. At length they drew off her glove and found in it a.sirrii_ lar piece of English gold ; they then opened her commode and found in it a Letter, directing her on a day specified, to carry to a certain house in the Rue de Bourgoigne, at Marais, twenty bottles of wine, and to ring so many times at the door. The Officers of the Police took the twenty bottles, and repaired to the houk appointed, where they rang as many times as the letter diretted, and found there a number of persons assembled who defended them selves in a very desperate manner. A pistol was fired, which, however, hurt no person. Among those arrested were JEAN MARIE:, a confidant of GEOR:ES, and a notorious robber, one VICTOR, who had been concerned in the plot of the 3d of Nivose, and the Cook of GEoRGEs. Fourteen of the foreigners who have lately ar. rived on the Coast, have been likewise arrested Co suspicion. The Police here has taken the most aaive measures on this occasion. A certain Lady has been in confinement for. some time because one HYDE, who had taken part in the Conspiracy of the 3d of Nivose, had : lodged in her house. Gemiral MARMQNT.is gone to take the command of the troops in Holland. Citizen Cu y ELIAR, who commands the Legion of Guides and Interpreters destined for tho Expedi. tion against England, has published a concise but strong Proclamation in English and French, ad dressed to those who are enlisted, or wish to enlist in this Legion, old particularly the Irish Emigrants in France 'phis Prnclamatiun is fixed up. in all the public places, and at the corners of the streets, and attrans many curious persons to read it. The number of persons arrested in consequence of the late plot an( sent to the Temple,, is said to be more than 4.0. It is not true that a search was made in the Palace of the Thuilleries, in consequence of a suspicion, that some Chouan; had concealed them. selves in it. A Chouan has been arrested, who was the principal confidant of GEORGES, and reSided :bout a month before in Paris, and in the sub urb of Saint Germain. An English Lady who resided in a detached house in the' Bois de St. Germain, had fregoently lodged him in her house, which is situated in a part of the environs where the FIRST CoNsut. frequently hunts. The particulars of the Plot were discovered by some intercepted Letters, which were confirmed by the evidence of an accomplice. While the Minister TALLEYRAND was ill, the asT CONSUL inquired daily concerning his health, and sent to him his own Physician. Citizen CAITTAN transaEled business for TALLEYRAND during his indisposition. Ail the reports of Peace lately circulated are without foundation ; the Court of London has re jelied the last propositions for Peace. FEBRUARY 21. REPORT MADE BY THE GRAND JUDGE, MINISTER OF JITi- TICE, To THE GOVERNMENT, DATED FARIS, FEB. 17. " CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL, " New Plots, were set on foot by England, in the midst of the Peace which she had sworn to main tain; and when she had broken the Treaty of Amiens, she relied less upon her forces than upon her machina. tions. Bat the Government was watchful, and the Police traced the steps of her Agents. At length the Plan appeared to be completed, and she daily expeBed to hear of the explosion of the mine which they had worked under our feet. But suddenly the Agents of the Conspiracy were seized, and the proofs were accumulated, so as to leave no doubt upon the subjeCi. GEORGRS and his band of assassins remained in the pay of England, his agents over run La Vendee, the Mortihan, and Cotes du Nord, seeking in vain for Partisans. PICHEGRU, detea ed by the events which preceded the 4th Sept. 1797, and particularly by the correspondence which Mo_ avAu addressed to the Direaory, carried with him into England his hatred of his Country. In the year 800 he and Wr LLoT - were in the suite of the Ene my's armies,in order to rally the Brigands of the South. In the year iBor he conspired with the Committee of Bareuth ; and since the Peace of Ainiens he has been the counsel and the hope of the Enemies of France. British perfidy associated GEORGES with PICHEGRU, the man whom France long esteemed, and whom she long thought incapable of treason. In the ye ar 1803 a criminal reconciliation took place be tween MOREAU and PICHEGRU, two men whom ho nour ought to have kept eternally separated. The Police seized at Calais one of their Agents, when he was returning for the second time to England.— Upon the arrest of this man, General MOE EAU for a moment appeared agitated. He took some obscure means to find out if Government was informed upon the subject; but the most profound silence was observed; and he resumed his tranqUiiity ; concealed from G ovcrinment an eveia~ which ought have alarmed his jealeuv : hY w.as !:iient even,. when:. Pict! toßu t, rs cafled. to the . Ccuncils of the tritisltMini,try. Governmertt only attributed his silence to the fear of making hoiniliatinP - copftssion, as it had attributed his re tiring from FOE: affairs, his equivocal connexions, and his more than indiscreet language, to a vain- and discontented humour. C;;!.neral Mot EnL, who ought to be suspefted, because he treated secrety with the Enemy of his Country, and who upon that suspicion, wc,uld at any other time have been arrested, was suffered quietly, to enjoy his honours and his immense fortune. However, events pressed on. LAtolums, the friend and confidant of PtcmcGau, wen: secretly from Paris to London, and returned to Paris : car_ tied to Ptoli ECRU the sentiments of MOREAU, and brought back to MoRLAU the sentiments and de_ signs of PICHEGRU and his associates. The Bri gands of Großors prepared, even in Paris, all that was necessary for the execution of their common proje&s: "• A place - is appointed between Dieppe and Tre. port, far from all inquietude and all notice, where the Brigands of England, conduded by English Ships of War, disembark without being perceived.; where they find corrupted men to receive them men paid to guide them during the night from sta tion to station, until they arrive at Paris. At Paris Asylums are provided for them in houses paid fur in advance, where trusty Agents are stationed. This is done in several quarters of the city. L—in the rue i u Bacq, in the Faubourg Saint- Marc . eau , in Le Marais. " 6 The first debarkation effected, was that of GEoaces with eight of his brigands. " GEORGES returned to the Coast to assist in the debarkation of COSTER SAINT-VICTOR (con demned in consequence of the affair of " the 24th of December), and of ten other brigands. " In the latter end of January a third debarka tion was effeded, of PICHEGRU, LAJOLLAIS, AR MAUD-GAILLARD, brother to RAOULD JEAN MA RIE, one of the former confidants of GEORGES, and some other Brigands of that description. GEORGES, with Joyner, called D'ASSAR SAINT VINCENT, and PICOT, called LE PETIT, came before this third debarkation. The Assembly took place at the farm of la Poterie. " A fourth debarkation is expeded : the Ships are in sight ) but contrary winds hinder them from approaching : they have made signals for some dayo " GEORGES and PICHEGRU arrive at they are lodged in the same house, surroundcd by thirty Brigands commanded by GeoacEs. They see General MOREAU—the place, the day, and the hour is known, when the first conference was held : a second rendezvous was agreed upon, and was not realized : a third and fourth took place, in the house even of General IVIDREAu. " This presence of GEORGES and of PICHEGRU at Paris, these conferences with General MoREAu, are established by incontestible and multiplied proofs: The traces of GEORGES and PICHEGRU have been followed from house to house. Those who have aided their debarkation ; those who in the shade of night have condu&ed them from post to post ; those who have given them an asylum at Paris; their confidants, their accomplices ; LAJOL. LAIS, their principal intermediary, General Mo. REAL', are arrested ; the cffeds and papers of Pict-nom; seized, and the Police follow his steps with great activity. " England wishes to overthrow the Government, and by that overthrow to operate the ruin of France, and to deliver it up to ages of Civil War and con fusion : but to overthrow a Government supported by the affections of thirty millions of Citizens, and surrounded by an Army, strong, brave and faithful, is a task at once above the strength of England and of Europe. Thus, England could only effect it by the assassination of the First Consul, and by cover ing that assassination with the shade of a man, the recollestion of whose services might render it less odious. " I ought to add, that the Citizens need be un der no inquietude : the greater part of the Brigands are arrested; the remainder have fled, and are ac tively pursued by the Police. Nu class of Citizens, nor any branch of Administration, are tainted by any suspicion. " I need not give more ample developements in this Report : you have seen all the papers : you will order that they shall be all placed under the inspeaion of justice.

The Ghost of Barrpo, in conformity .to the evident wishes of the audience in general, was re stored in the Banquet scene, but n o t in such a man_ ner as to give due effeti to this supernatural visi tation, for the stage was covered with green cloth, anti the apparition did not, as formerly, rise through the trap-doors. Hence the scene was comparative ly flat, for as the Ghost entered from behind the scenes, like one of the Ordinary personages of the drama, there was nothing to strike the mind with the idea of a supernatural agent. Vvre arc of opinion that if KEMB I. F. thought proper to conform to the desire of jehm. Bull by restoring the Ghost, he should not have adopted half_measures, but should have put matters entirely upon their old footing.

The Ccuntess of POMFRET has obtained a sentence of divorce in Dotors' Commons, against the Earl, her husband, for cruelty and adultery. The case was brought forward on Friday last. In support of the charges, several depositions were read which fully established proof of the latter ; when the Court, after hearing Counsel on both sides, were of opinion, that the case was sufficiently made out to warrant a sentence of separation, which was accord ingly decreed.
