evening pub ication. Adopted by-some, it has been reftrted
by others, chiefly on the ground that NAPOLEON'S authority
Was too yell); to allow him to have recourse to pretended
conspiracies to obtain some iinportant.objeet. To 'hose who
'have -.ta, red tl,is objection we may reply. that they forget
they at riblited some of the ea' ly plots agAttst the 'Same indi-
vidual to his own contrivance, so that eight tears ago they
did not deem his authority ‘• too young," to allow of his
creating false conspiracies to attain hie en(ls. However. as.
the arrivals from the Continent have brcught -no confirma-
tion or refutation of our -surmise, we shall let it test for the
present, and content ourselves with giving the following par-
ticulars which trave appeared in some. of the daily pipers
" A Gentleman has art ived in town from the French coa-t.

between Paris and the coast hati•heen interdicted forseveial
days—that • n the 25th and 26th of October the barriers of
Paris were slut ; and that late. in the eyening..of, the A6lll,
the three disaffected Generale were carried to the Bois de
'Boulogne, and shot. None i)ut military were present, and
the execution was conducted With the greatest privacy.—
NAL LETT is said to hav-e.excliaint;d, before be was shot--;

none. ut. military were present at Ahe execution. %vial, h was
conducted with the greatest-wivacy,, we hardly think 7ny

We much doubt .th•tt the Generals were execwed on the
.26th. I. M Oat y • Commission was apeoi oted, to try, them :
it mt t eon the 25th, and heard the charges and interrogatories
Teed. As their arrest and intended trial were made so public,
their execution would, we should think, have been, made
.equally public, th; ugh, the particulars of the trial might
have been kept secret. New; Pipers have arrived of two
days later date than the report of their execution on the
evening of the •26th, and these are totally silent upon,tbe
subject.

Confidential letters mention, that botb the Court and pri-

Others contain a few particulars regarding the situation of
things in t!.!e neighbourhood ~f Moscow,„and, it i!.said, that

preserved from the flames within that city, the.Gratid Army
is not pertnittetl to be in, cantonments within the walls, but
is encamped on the open ground, in order to prepare the sol
dyers for the severktv of a Russian winter. The superb fur-
niture of the nobility is often seen in the. streets, used at
the common mess of the privates, And rich and ornamented
ves,eis are employed in culinary utensils, ,
The most interesting fact is, rerhaps, that the army of
