FR E,NC EJ PAPERS: PdRIS, Au G. 29. CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE ROYAL FAMILY: `.FIRST COUNCIL of WAR OF THE FIRST MILITARY DIVISION. The Sitting was opened at half-past nine in the morning, and according to custom, the Sectetaty read the proceedings, its- the absence of the ac cused. As they contained no new facts, we shall pass On to the time when Desbans was led.bctore his Jtiitges. His physiognomy did not belie the part which be bad playact in the accusatimn. The paleness and convulsive agitation of his features, aud par ticularly of his lips, his speech sharp and hurried, his countenance rather audacious than confident, r►ll declared bins to be a mats who tried in vain to master the dismay anti affright which agitated Iris 'breast. After the questions of form, the President said to " You are doubtless informed of what you are accused ?" " Yes, Colonel," answered Des : bans, in a moment of delirium I made two of my comrades an unfoitunate proposal, which they rejected.. I renewed it some time after ; I added that we must decide by lot.as to who should draW the first trigger against the Princes, at.the same time offering to take the place of him on whom the lot tell, if he did not, feel the requisite courage and firmness. The sensible A,hservations bt my comrades induced me to renounce this infa mous project, and I said to myself that I was a wretch for having projected the destruction of Princes who had conferred upon us nothing but benefits., 'The intention for the 2Sth of July was no longer entertained. My comrades then, to as sure themselves that I hail abandoned my design, inquired of me if I was still in the same re solution % No, replied 1, I will no longer hear it spoken of. I then proposed to them that they should that night pay for a bottle of wine to drink the health of the Pt inces, which tkey accordingly did. The President then proceeded in his examina tion, and the prisoner inning denied many of the charges, the prisoner Chayoox was 'next nitro floret!. Ile at first answered very vaguely ; but being pressed,. he denied •the whole except the hornless of the window, ‘vhich he said he had answered without any precise intention. Q. When it was asked of you lniw you should wake your escape alter the attempt, it the lois decided that you shoubl fire first, you answered that you would Save youtself in the woods, where you would wait the approach of night,wheu, hay. ing exchanged your clothes for thor.e of a peasant, you would return to ['at is, and hide yourself in the house of Valentin ?--The accused only an. swered these charges by a positive denial. Chayoux joined with Desbans in retm t lug upon Fdi , cAux, awl accused him of having, by pet fi,lious instigations, excited their contempt for the Royal Government. Q. On the day when the bust of the King was indignantly outraged in the robot of the Set iettut, Major, you wrote %%hi, a c0.. , 1 on the wall of the canteen some infamous words ? " What atrocity !" ctied Chayonx; " Faiseanx alone is-capable of inventing sncl► horrid detail; !" The prisoner Nepven made a declaration similar to that of Chayoux, relative to the parricidal Proposal before made by Desbans, rejected by Om, abandoned afterwards by Desbans himself, and replaced by that of drinking the health of the P►inces whom they would before have• assassi .ll tied. His first declarations were read to him, which were directly contrary to those which he made before the Tribunal. He persisted in maintaining that he had no precise recollection of what he i had stated in the first interrogatories which he had signed. . The remainder of the interrogatories with re spect to Nepven, sheaved his knowledge of the plot. Nothing appeared to implicate either Guicha-rd or Wareigne. The Court then proceeded to the examination of the witnesses, and their evidence went clearly to establish the guilt of Desbans and. Chayoux, and rite knowledge Nepven had of the plot. The trial lasted a late hour at night, when Desbans and Chayoux were sentenced to death,. Nepven to three years imprisonment, and Gaiebard and Wareigne were acquitted. Pants, AUG. 29.—1 t is said that the Marshal Doke de Ragusa is appointed Governor of the 19th Military Division, and that he sets out to-day for Lyons, the chief place r,f the division.

SOLEM QUIS DICEHE FALSI.I:4 AUDEAT• LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1517. We received last night the Paris - Papers of Ft i day last, and this morning those of ,Saturdisy. From the former we give extracts in another.co lutnn. The Duke of WeLLINGTON left 'Paris on Friday, and the King of PRUSSIA was to take his departure on Saturday. The former was expected to go first to Alsace, to review the Austrian and Wurtemberg troops, and the latter to Aix-la- Chapelle, from whence, it is said, his Majesty will proceed to Cambray, to be present at the review of the English troops. Marshal the Duke of RAGUSA (MARNIONT) has been appointed to command at Lyons, according to some of the Journals, as Commander-in-Chief of the 19th Military Di , vision, in which Lyons is situate, but others state, that he goes upon a special mission with the title of Governor-General. It appears, however, that it was thought requlsite he should set out without delay, as we find he bad his audience of the King at ten o'clock on Thurs day night, and at midnight took his departure for ' This fact %irt futl 4i.,11C1 in the Journal, of Saturday, and it naturally gives rise to a supposition that something extraordi nlry had happened at Lyons to call for the unex pected appointitient and very sudden departure of this military thief. 'fhe following are Extracts froth the JotirniiL of' sAtirday : " PARis, AUG. 3©.—Yesterday afternoon Des bans and Chayoux, sentenced! to death by the First Council of War, for conspiring to assassi nate the Princes of the Royal Family, appealed against their scntene.

It is it fact well ascvr tained, that the agents of the Spanish and Portu guese Governments are incessantly einployed in inventing and promulgating falsehoods concern- - ing the operations of the hostile Armies in the Southern Provinces."

The Nlvnwt M erehAnts in Kingston, in the Istan4 of Jittnitic:t Humbly Sheweth,—That your Memorialists being esta.. blishettiu the most important of ail the free ports, trade di rectly to the Spanish Colonies, and, having with them a ge-‘ -neral and extensive intereoure, they represent a great pro portion of the interest of all the manufaeturitt; towns in the United Kiiii;doin. Your Menturialisti, therefore, respectfully crave attentive consideration, w hilst they endeavour to ptoe mote their country's general good. That from all the linowled, l , , e Lis Majesty's Ministers prrx. sesi of the trade.of the Mother Cuuatry, in all its bratichs•.• it would be superfluous to enter upon a minute detail of the advantages she derives from the intercourse between the vast Continent of South America and the Island of Jamaica ; and for the same reason, the causes which have led to , heir pre sent extent need not here be explained. But it n►ay Solite fur the present purpose to state, that since the llevolution Spaiu, or subsequent to the year• 1810, the Spanish Colonic, deprived of maternal protection, were left in a manner with out Government ; and that great Continent which couspviscs so many of them was in a great degree thrown open tothe British flag, which. brought aboutan advantageous coin mercy, inasmuch as the trade previously enjoyed became multiplied beyond all expectation, by' an extensive co.mounication over the Isthmus of Darien with thousands of leagues of tine coast bordering on ,the Pacific Ocean ;a, country inlrtbl►ted by it numerous population, and till then ahnost deprived of every. opportunity to obtain.the commodities of civilized Europe. That the greatest hart of this increase of trade, carried 014 to and from Panama, extending itself North and South tin ()ugh out the different provinces of South. America has already in • troduced an►ong an almost unknown people, upwards Of •ri;ti 1.1 , 10 N%; sterling of British manufactures, thereby familiar izing the inhabitants to its use; and your Memorialists are induced to believe, that the increase of consumption would be incalculable, were the intercourse to be kept fiet from inter ruption. That this trade readily converts into specie an immense amount of the labour of the .operative manufacturers, as is se-en by the importation of gold and silver to the mother county) from thisisland. That they might embrace Vie advantages thrown open tts, his Majest)'s subjects•by this c , mnionication with a country little hnowil, some of your Memorialists have been induced to hasten the consumption of theitcouutty's n►annfactores, t , by sending them in regular supplies to the kingdoms of Chili, Pere., Aletfieo, and all along the southern shore of South' America, to a nrarke•t where, it► some places, the returNs for those goods are in a manner locked up, together with the property of traders wilt) go constantly between those places, and this islttn 1. That the trade so increasingly carried on has latterly been damped by the arrival of insurgent privateers in the Spud' Seas, which. Alarmed traders and endangered their pro /way, or rather tlicir's and that of your Memorialists, which was given them from tine to time on credit—a system neces sarily entered hilt+ fur the encuitragrnfrat of that trade. 'chat besides the privateers which bare already disturbed the peace of the :.4uoth Setts, and those which the insurgents of Buenos .hoes may fit out ia Chili, the trade of that quarter . is threatened with complete annihilation in more formidable . vessels.

That were his :Majesty's GorerirDient to sre 6t to afford to the interests of his subjects that protection, by convoy, which is common to the trade of outlet and consumption of British manufactures in these parts ofthe world, such protection' would inspire confidence in the traders already dispirited, :trot give fres!, vigour to a most important branch of ariti7,4 commerce. 11 ml your MemorialistS, &c: Kingston, 19th July, 4817‘ 1 71 . , c I them, to * be by the t ulit of Mr*,..-1- lington.

SPAIN. (Front the Ilapie Courant.,) EXTRACT" OF A LETTER FROM MADRID, OF inc,, I. .. The activity of the Secietary• of State, the Che valier Pizarro, and of the present Ministry, exceed any thing that has yet . been seen in Spain. Trea ties of friendship hare bees concluded with al most all Nations, in which they recognise no power in Spain and in her Colonies except the lawful Sovereign. The deliberations upon a general amnesty ('kioyt schelding) have ended to the satisfaction of all those who love their country. The most perfect. tranquillity in our country is one of the beneficial consequences of the uprightness anti firmness of the King, and of the zeal of the Ministers, all ve hose decrees bear the stamp of truly tree ptin ciples, tempered according to the charactq of the nation and to circumstances.. The new - system of finance is introduced twos' without opposition, it we except some miserable individua!s, who have been already reduced to silence. Every honest man congiatulates himself on a new system of taxation, which is equally great and enlightened. When it is once brought into full effect, it will suf fice to cover all necessary expences and to pay the (Wits. Like the most enlightened nations, we shall enjoy the advantages of a Great Book, of a sink ing., fund, and of a budget ; all the creditors of the State will have inscrip!ions in the Gnat Bubk, re gulated on one and the same footing. As most of the national debts hear an bite-rest of only 3 or 4 per cent., every exertion will he made first to dis charge the foreign debts, which pay per cent. interest, and amount to about 400 millions de vetton. The Council of Finance is charged to examine the several plans that are offered upon this subject. It has been proposed to cede to the fo reign creditors a sufficiently extensive track of land in America ; but as this plan would he attended with (natty difficulties,- there is now more inclina tion to cede the Two Floritias to t he United States, upon condition of their charging themselves with the debts. 'Ube chit fof one of the first towns Of Paris and Bayonne has made here a proposal for a loan, on sufficiently advantageous terms, in MIMI the Government should take in payment the rentes that have been in arrear since ISOS : another great nation would willingly take the li quidatioa upon itself, it the negociations begun with a great Northern Power wet e broken off. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MADRID. AUG. 8. Letters of a vet y alarming nature have been received here from Peru. It is said that the city of Crisco is in the hands of the Independeilts, and that Ulna is threatened.
