PARIS. JULY 47•
Two sisters, one of whom had been servant to •o
old gentleman, the Sieur Gendron, formerly
Comptroller of ti e Household to 41 late Majesty
Louis XVI. were charged yeetiveliy before the
Court of Assizes, of having robbed the Sieur
Gendron of a large sum of money, and a brilliant
worth • thousand crowns, which he had received
from the late Queen, Marie Antoinette. and a
variety of other property. The servant was found
guilty of removing the property, but the Jury were
divided, six against six, on the question of its hav-
ing been fraudulent. The second sister was ac-
quitted, and both were liberated by order of the
Court. The Sieur Gendron died since the com-
mencement of the proceedings against this girl.
with whom, although he was 72 years of age, lie
lived in terms more interesting than if she were
his servant only.
The relatives of the unfortunate Miss Hutchinson
have requested the Editor of the Journal des Lie-
bats to state, that this I rdy had commenced pro-
ceedings against the Ex-General Sarraziu long he.
fore she was apprised of his haring any considerable
property. Her sole motive in the prosecution was,
a sense of the duty she owed to her infant child,
the offspring of this unhappy union.
The Censor, of yesterday. has announced the ar-
rival of a courier extraordinary, with dispatches to
the Spanish Ambassador, informing him of the de-
parture from Cadiz, on the 11th instant, of a ship
of the line, two f, igates, and some smaller vessel.,
with 4,000 troops on board. We are authorised,
says the Quotidienne, to say that this news is er-
roneous.
On the evening of the 25th a pretty smart conflict
took place on the road to Fontainebleau, between
some citizens and cuirassiers ; some blond was
shed. The armed force intervened, and put an
eud to a quarrel which began to assume a very
serious character.

MADRID, JULY 15.

The new conspiracy which has just been dis-
covered at Cadiz has thrown us into the greatest
consternation. The following details of it have
been published here :

si Some commotions which had taken place in the
town of Cadiz and at the port Saint Maria, indicated
a considerable ferment in the army. The. General
in Chief, the Count de l'Abisbal, was informed of
the existence of a conspiracy, and adopted mea-
sures to stifle it in its birth. He set out from Cadiz
during the night between the 7th and Bth of this
mouth, collected some troops in the Isle of Leon
and at Puerto Real, to the number of 4,000 men.
With these troops lie surrounded the camp of
La Victoria, at the port Saint Maria. consisting of
7,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, caused
the troops there to lay down their arms, arrested
and deposed the officers, and dispersed the regi-
ments among the different towns of Andalusia.
These operations were executed without the least
disorder, or the loss of any blood. The number
of officers *nested amounted to 129. The fol-
losing are the names of the principal com-
manders and superior officers :—Fire Colonels,
viz. Dun Sebastian Vet:agues, of the regiment of
Valeutia; Don Antonio Rutty, of the regiment of
Arragon ; Don Antonio Zuiroga, of the regiment
of Catalonia; Don Felippo de Aicor. Colonel of

Engineers; Don Dernetrio Udali, Colonel of the
regiment of the battalion of the Canaries.—
Four Lieutenant-Colonels—Don Alessandro Be-
nista, Don S. San Miguel, Dun Ebricio San Mi-
guel, Don Laurentio Garcia. lire Commandants
—Don Jose Maria Zetrovera, Don Salvador Diaz
Berrigo, Dun Jose Mastitis, Dun Joaquin Poole,
and Don ltaimond de Libra.
" General the Count de l'Abisbal has received
the Grand Crols of the Order of Charles 111.,
and the Mamba! de Campo Saudfield, who
seconded bins, hos been nominsted Lieutenant-
General. These recompenses will encourage our
military, the friends of order and of their country's
prosperity, to destroy the projects which might be
conceived by the disaffected."

JULY 15.

A rumour prevails in this city, this usorising,
that a naval d►vision. composed of a ship of the
line, two frigetts. and three brigantines, having on
board 4,000 men. had sailed f►om Cadiz on the
IRh instant. It is supposed that the remsiuder of
the troops in that quarter were speedily embarked,
to prevent any movement on their part. It is
thought that this squadron is destined to succour
Morillo. The confiru►uuou of this news will pro-
bably be brought by the first courier from that
port.
The Coustilutionel contains the following letter,
stated to have been received from a private but

authentic source :

" CADIZ, JULY 8, at Nine p. m.

" At a moment when the immense preparations
of the expedition appear to have been drawing to a
close, au event to which we will not give a name,
his intervened to suspend them fur some time.
" From symptoms which every disinterested per-
son could but fail to remark. it was certain that
40,004 men would not willingly allow themselves to
be immured in bad ships, badly fitted out, and,
above all, badly commanded, fur the purpose of
carrying un the war in our colonies. The severe
discipline already enforced by Comt D'A Inland
did nut render the prospect more cheering, and the
