EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Since going to press, our Paris journals and corre-
spondence of yesterday have arrtved, but their con-
tents are without interest for the English public.
The King of the Belgians left Paris for Brussels on
Sunday. Rain had continued to fall in Paris, with-
out cessation, from Sunday morning to the hour of
the departure of the mails hat evening.

The ClaNwr Public° hiss done something to stem
the tide of unpopularity which has lately flowed with
so much violence akainst England, by publishing the
reflections in the Daily News of the 13th instant
upon Lord Pahnerston's threatful speech on Spanish
Bonds.

Letters from Rome, some of which are dated so
recently es the 20th, contain accounts of events so
strange that, until further and more precise intelli-
gence shall arrive, the present reports must be received
with some reserve. According to these correspondents
an atrocious conspiracy, concocted by the reactionary
party and the agents of Austria, having for its object
the reproduction of the Sicilian vespers and the mar
,acre of fifteen thousand of the liberal party, has been
providentially detected on the very eve of its
execution. It will be recollected that a festival
was appointed to be held in Rome on the
17th, to celebrate the anniversary of the amnesty, on
which occasion the populace would have been assent-
' bled in large numbers, swelled still more by the lead-
ing persons of the liberal party, who had come to
Rome on the occasion from a radios of many miles
' round. It was settled, according to these reports,
that the military should be provoked against the
populace by hired agents, who were to raise an alarm
that the soldiers were to be assassinated. The officers,
' many of whom were in the plot, were then to order
the cavalry to charge the people, and a general mas-
sacre was to be commenced. Malefactors were
to be liberated from the prisons, and supplied
with poignards with which they were to extend
the slaughter the moment the fireworks were let off
This scheme, it is said, was discovered en the 15th by
Cioeroacchio, the popular tribune, who has lately
figured so prominently in the movements at Rome,
and sufficient proof of it was afforded by him to induce
the Pope and the government to order the festival to
be postponed, and strong measures for its prevention
to be adopted. The Pope is represented as being
highly incensed against the authors of this project,
and to have exclaimed, in reference to the re-
actionary party, " The hour of
' gone by, tli;it C.; severe repression and chas-
tisement has arrived." The National Guards,
which was on the eve of being organised, was
suddenly called out and arms delivered to it, with in-
junctions to watch over the public safety. Two thou-
sand civilians, in their ordinary costume, were petroling
the city on the 16th and succeeding days, and were
everywhere received with enthusiasm. The principal
inhabitants gave up for their accommodation the
groundloors of their houses. On the 16th, Cardinal
Ferretti, the new Secretary of State, arrived. He
was met at the gates by. the populace, who took the
horses from his carriage, and drew him to kare,
residence, amidst tumultuous acclamations. In this
evening the city was illuminated. On the 17th IC

papers, which trey did with such precipitation that
they set fire to the curtains of his room. Several
documents of importance, however, escaped the
flames, and others were taken from the fire imper-
fectly consumed. MM. Muzzarelli and Bertola have
been arrested, but the brothers Galanti escaped.
Cardinal Lambraschini, one of the most obnoxious
of the reactionary party, and the supposed ooncoctor
of the plot, was at Civita Vecchia. It was said that
the papers seized at the dwellings of the chief actors
contained enough of evidence to develop the entire
plot.
On the 18th the alarm had in a great measure
subsided. The garrison of Rome fraternised with
the national guard, and cordially co-operated in
preserving order. On the 20th, a considerable
number of the leaders, who had been arrested, were
committed to the castle of St. Angelo. A letter of
that date, from a correspondent of the Courier of
Marseilles, says, that the number of civilians under
arms was 10,000. The writer of the letter dates it
from on* of the guard-houses where he was stationed.
The Roman Adreraser of the 17th, which we have
received, contains no direct allusion to the detected con-
spiracy, but mentions the sudden postponement of the
festival, the calling out of the National Guard before
its equipment was completed, the excitemant of the
&c. It is to be remembered, however, that
the Roman journals are not yet free from a control
which imposes on them a great reserve in all that con-
cerns political subjects of the day, besides which the
journal of the 17th wee printed the 16th, and pro-
bably contained no intelligence later than the pre-
ceeding day, the 15th. Indeed, this is apparent from
its contents. We wait anxiously further intelligence.

Advices have arrived from Berne to the 22nd, in-
clusive. The delegates of the several cantons had
presented to the Diet a formal protest against the
resolution which had been passed for the dissolution
of the League, in which the legality of that compact
and its necessity as a measure of self•defence are in-
sisted on. The Genevese delegates have proposed a
resolution, that every officer who shall enter the ser-
vice at tle seperio League shall be dismissed the
service of the Confederation. This was to be dis-
, mused on the 23rd, and would no doubt be adopted.
The French minister at Berne, M. Bois le Comte,
conferred upon the practical joke of the editor of tho
Charirari a diplomatic importance, which has ren-
dered the affair extremely ludicrous., On the 20th ho
addressed a note to the President of the Executive
Council of the canton of Berne, of which the following
is a literal translation :

---.---- .
Onteirtemex,—l have this moment been informed that on
the day of Saturday, the 17th initant, a member of the grand
council of Berne, M. Jenni, by name, hes caused his dog to
be dzeorated with the ribbon and cross of the legion of honor,
and had thus promenaded him on the public walk of Egoi at
the hour when that walk was most frequented.
I intrcat you, gentlemen, to give me satisfaction for this
act, which I shall refrain from qualifying. Entertaining no
doubt that yen will yoursotecs be affected at this, I leave to
you the adoption of such measures as you may think fitting
in the present ease, whether to prosecute officially M. Jenne,
in virtue of the powers which the law confers en the exe-
cutive government or to the demand of the grand °pulsed
of each means of disciplinarian repression as every assembly
exercises over its members.
Accept, gentlemen, my assurances of high consideration.
Berne, July 20, 1847.
The govertment of Berne immediately returued
the following answer to the above note : •
1. Thst it could not prosecute M. Jenni, geeing that the
law gave it no power to that effect.
2, That the affair in question did rot concern the grand
council, inasmuch so M. Jenni was not yet sworn as a mem-
ber of it, and that his election was contested; besides
which, even though he were, the rules of the grand council
did not confer on it the power to apply disciplinarian mea-
sures to the private conduct of its members.
3. That, if Id. Bois le Comte considered himself injured,
the tribunals were open to him.

ILLNESS OF THE. ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF
Lottnom.—We regret to learn that the Right Rev. Dr.
Griffiths, Roman Catholic Bishop of London, is lying dan-
gerously ill. On Sunday, prayers for his "spiritual com-
fort and speedy recovery" were offered in the Roman Catholic
chapels throughout the metropolis.
