Tunis, OCTOBILR 5.—A most horrible plot has
been formed here, which had for its object nothing
less than the destruction of the Government, and the
death of all the Princes of the reigning family. The
Treasurer of the Regency was at the head of the plot,
which was to have broken owl on the 31st October.
The Treasurer desired to be a Pacha ; the highest of-
fices were to be distributed to his relations, and a pil-
lage of the city w 25 promised to the soldiers. The Bey
was informed of the conspiracy on the 22d. In the
night of the 28th the Treasurer was arrested and hang.
ed; his brother, whom illness confined to his bed, shared
the same fate ; his son, his women, his relations, his
friends, and his men, are still in prison. What trendy
magnified the danger of this conspiracy was, that se-
veral hordes of Arabs were engaged to second it. The'
Treasurer, a Moor by birth, was raised, by the firreint
of the Bey, from the most humble statism to the
highest degree of power. He had free access to the!
Prince's seraglio, and, a thing almost unprecedented,
was permitted to see the lsdies unveiled. It is said
that the treasure he left behind him amoudts to many
millions of piastres.—(Drapeau Blase.)
