THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING,

FRANCE.

PARIS, 1110),DAT
I understand, from a source worthy of all credit,
that the Senate has resolved to go as far as Tours to
meet the President, un his return to Paris in the
middle of next month. The muncipal council of
Paris is about to vote the Prince a solemn reception.
Thus honours as great as ever were bestowed on
Charlemagne will be conferred upon the author of
the coup (taut of December 2.
Tho only further particulars relative to the plot
are contained in the following paragraph in the
l'atrur :

rThe barrels were all loaded, and there were seized, in
addition to a great quantity of powder and balls, several
seditious emblems and 'entices. AU the articles seiscd
have been sent to the prifzZ:ure, When) lof. Sylvarn Bolt
and the Wrocurcur-Ocneral were in attendance with the
Prefect, to concert on the measures to be adopted.
The entire statement is exceedingly unsatisfactory
The public conscience desires to know, if a conspiracy
really exists, who are the parties implicated. Until
the fullest disclosures are made with regard to the
whole affair, people will be apt to suspect that
the only conspirator was the man found in the'.
house, and that he was hidden there on purpose to
be found. As if to envelope the affair in additional
mystery, the Patric pnbushes this extraordinary
Paragraph
The Minister of Police bee ordered the transportation to
Cayenne of 11 liberated convicts who had broken their ban.
Their names are Legoat, Benton, Legarthe, Fouilliond,
Lefort, Mongeot, ilenaff, Coniger, Clcrinot, Vapaille, and
a woman named Laureau We are not aware whether this
measure has any cunneaion with tier affair at Marseilles.
There is an evident purpose in this suggestion,
which strongly smacks of an Intention to hush up a
matter that will not bear investigation.
So little does the government discriminatebetween
the value of free and forced applause that M. Sarda
Garriga has got up a fête in Guyana to be given to
himself, in honour of the Prince President, by the
transported felons in that colony. A long pro.
gramme of the fdte is published by the offi j cial our-
nal. These unfortunate men were made to erect
three triumphal arches, on one of which was this in-
scription, " An Prince l'resident, Ice transports recon-
naissants." The other two arches were in "honour"
of M. Duces and M. S. Garriga. A felon wim ap-
pointed to make a complimentary speech, the gover-
nor laid the first stone of a column to be erected by
felons to the Prince-President, and the day concluded
with private theatricals, in which the actors were
felons, and a felons' ball.

The following telegraphic despatches aro in the
Muniteur :

Marseilles, &pt. 25, Half-past 5 p.m.
The Prince has this moment arrived. The whole impu-
tation his Rocked on his passage so well as the inhabitants
of the adjoining country. Hu Highness is in good health,
and was received with cries of " Vire l'Empereur,“ every-
where repeated on his passage.
&pt. 26, Halt past 7 a.m.
The Prince arrived at Maneilles yesterday at five o'clock.
The city was dressed out throughout the whole line of his
passage as tar as the prefecture. Everywhere tho most en-
thusiastic tries were uttered. The ladies waved their hand-
kerchiefs, and the men took off their hap; it is impossible
to conceive a more cordial greeting.
A despatch received to-day states that the Presi-
dent left Marseilles this morning at nine o'clock, by
sea, for Toulon.
The police of Bordeaux seized, a few days ago,
several hundred tobacco-pipes representing Ledru-
' Rollin, Respell, Louis Blanc, Garibaldi, and other
republican leaders.
Seven men were arrested a few days since at
Toulouse for tearing down and obliterating the pla-
cards posted up by the judicial authorities.
The national guard were yesterday called upon
for the first time to resume their service. Two sec-
tions of the Ist battalion marched to do duty at the
Etat-Major. The band, which marched at their
bead, was more numerous than the detachment
itself.

The Muniteur contains a decree extending Savings
Banks to Algeria.
At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose
25, clueing at 104.30 ; the Threes rose 40, and closed
at 77.90. The railway market was heavy and most
of the lines fell 'lightly.
PARIS, SUNDAY EYININO.
The following are the circumstances which pre-
ceded the anon of the infernal machine, and the
arrest of the conspirators:—
For some time past the Minister of General
Police has traced the proceedings of a secret society,
whose object became daily more and more manifest.
This society resolved to attempt the life of the Prince
President. The city of Mantilla was chosen for the
execution of the plot. M. Sylvan Blot, an inspect
of the Ministry of Police, carefullyfcod
reminli develorneut and progress of the conspiracy.l
The esmelrertion of an infernal machine having been
resolved wpm, several members of the society set to
work, and the machine was very quickly completed.
It is composed of 2ao gun barrels, 4 blunderbuss bar-
rels of tarp calibre, the whole divided into 2$ par-
eels. Thaw 28 parcels were, for greater precaution,'
Ideposited in 28 different plans until the moment
when a soweenlest place should be found for fixing
and meseatiag the machine. The sonspiraton then
debated upon the this, of this Awe, which natu-

Procurem-General attached to the Court of
Appeal of Aix, who happened to be at Grenoble,
being informed by the inspector-general of the Mi-
nistry of Police of the existence of a plot, went to
Marseilles on the 2hd to es Bolt with M. de Bateau,
the prefect of the Benshee-de-Rhone, and M. Sylvan
Blot, upon the proper measures to be taken.
" All the pircea de conviction were sent to the -

the Ministry of Police, and the precursor-general of
the department, were consulting with the prefect of
the Boucheeilu-Rhone on the measures to be taken."

The notice thus given in the Dloniteur Ts repro-
duced word for word in aU the other papers,

racter. Only one paper, the Pays, contains a

There is nothing in the communication of the Mossi-
tour to throw light upon the class of opinion from
which this plot, if not a scheme of the police, emanates,
unless the expression societ.l. secrete be considered u
exclusively applicable to the socialists and red-repub-
licans. Notwithstanding the repugnance of think-
ing minds to believe in as many comedies as have
bees commonly attributed to the machinations of the
police on the detection of such dark plots, the mani-
fest interest of the present government in starting
SOON strong pretext for the contemplated change in
the title of the head of the state, and the unscrupu-
lous character of its proceeding, are such as to war-
rant a certain wariness of belief, under different cir-
cumstances improbable. In fact the speech of the
President at the Tuileries on the 29th of March,
which declared that he should not assume " a pom-
pous title," unless forced by the seditious intrigues
(sourdes misoiss) of parties, has always kept
people upon the alert for some such discover; as that
