GENERAL CAVAIGNAC.

An absurd report has circulated for the last fe%
days to the effect that General Cavaignac had
been arrested, and that he is now confined in some
mysterious dungeon.

It is hardly necessary to say that there is not
a word of truth in this rumour. General Ca vaigna°
has not been in Paris for many weeks ; he was not
here even during the elections.

He is residing on a small property near Chateau
du Loir, in the department of the Sarthe, with bill
family, and concerns himself very litlle with public
affairs.

He is, in fact, living in the utmost tranquillitf•
Without being very opulent, he is in possession of
an ample income, which has been increased by the
death of his uncle, and in other respects he is, to
all appearance, amongst the most contented of
men.

He took no part in the late elections beyond
placing his name at the disposal of his political
friends.

For the present his chief occupation seems to be
in superintending the building of a small pavilion
on his grounds.

The house he occupies is small, and General
Cavaignac wishes to have a spare room or two for
the accommodation of a few friends who 11137
happen to visit him. This is the only durance to
which he is reduced.

THE FOREIGN CONSPIRACY.

A London correspondent of the Austrian GazettB
writes :

Several German journals state that the cabinet
of Vienna is endeavouring to obtain from the
European powers their adhesion to a coninao°_,
note in which the cabinet of St. James would
be invited to adopt suppressive measures towards
the foreign conspiritors in London.
Without affirming this statement I may assnr°
you that Lord Cowley is instructed to declare t.°
the court of the Tuileries, in the name of b 1;
government, that England considers it a point of
honour no longer to tolerate the odious proceedings
of those political refugees who have adopted for
their flag murder and pillage.
As soon as the proofs of the guilty participation
of the revolutionary committee in the recent plot
against the Emperor Napoleon's life shall have
been proved, the English ministry will bring in 13
bill authorising it to expel all political refugees
who have abused the hospitality which they have
received.

This resolution of the government is the more
honourable from the fast of its being spontaneous.
A letter from Vienna in the Bourse Gazette of
Berlin says:—" It is certain, as we learn from
very good source, that the last events in Italy, and
especially those of Genoa, have caused the Turin,.
cabinet to consider that the re-establishment of
diplomatic relations with the Austrian government
is more desirable than ever.
