TIJE NATIONAL REGISTER

A letter from Paris states, oil the authority of
advices from Brussels deemed worthy of credit, that
a variety of papers have been seized by the police of
the latter city, relative toi the conspiracy recently
detected in Paris. They prove, it is said, that Gen.
Alison, lute commandant of Paris, was deeply im-
plicated in it. That General had hastily quitted
Brussels, and it was understood, had directed his
route to Russia. The obscurity under which all the
facts connected with the conspiracy have hitherto
been buried, with the speculation and conjecture
thence excited in the saloons of the French capital,
have connected a number of wild and improbable
rumours with the circumstance of the seizure of the
papers at Brussels. They go so far as to fix a share
in the design of overth►owing the Bourbons on
their august ally, the Emperor of Russia, who was
to nominate the dynasty by which France in future
should he governed, It is unnecessary to repeat the
details of rumours.so unworthy of belief. The real
history and extent of the conspiracy will probably
never be disclosed ; the belief, however, is universal
in Paris, that all the Government has hitherto
suffered to transpire has conveyed no idea of its true
magnitude.

In his opening speech, the Attorney General
said, that the Countess of Oldi was a vulgar woman,
because she did noi, speak pure Italian, but a Patois.
Lord Guilthrd, who is known to be a competent
authority, denied that the lady in question spoke a
Patois, but stated that she spoke Italian with some-
what of a provincial accent—that is, the accent of
the Milanese, of which country she is a native. To
explain this, we copy from M. Gahire's Travels in
Italy the following remarks on the Milan dialect,
from which the Countess might have borrowed her
accent, though not hor expressions:—
" The Milmce dialect is not much more like what
we call Italian than any other European language. It
contains a strange mixture of several languages, in which
Italian of coluse predominates; but the pronunciation
is so peculiar as to make it quite another language. The
is pronounced as in the French ; and there are words
such as ramr, for heart, which are both written and pro-
nounced exactly the same in both languages. The
Mi!ancse have likewise the same nasal sounds as the
Several of the terminations are Spanish. The
whole compound limns a harsher language than I know,
except the German. I was exceedingly entertained iu
our way to Pavia by a little boy who recited a long dia-
logue between a Nfilmese and a Venetian, boasting the
adyamages of their respective countries in his own di.,
lect. Noun(ly could hesitate an instant to give the pre-
lerence in point of elegance and grace to the latter, but
there is in tht hornier a degree of blunt and frank
expression, w tick admirably suits the known character
of the Ilalloll to which it bilongs."

The correspondence between his Majesty's Go-
vernment atm her Majesty's Counsel and Agents,
on the subject of pecuniary supplies to her Majesty,
since her Majesty's arrival in England in June last,
and also an account of all sums of money paid to her
Majesty since her arrival in Englund, has been
printed by order of the House of Lords. It com-
mences with a letter from Mr. Vizard, her Majesty's
Solicitor to the Earl of Liverpool, dated Lincoln's-
inn-fields, July 1, 1820, enclosing a letter from her
Majesty to his Lordship, applying fur an advance of
money, to defray the necessary legal expcnces of her
Majesty's defence, including those of-bringing over
her Majesty's witnesses. The sum required was
2,5001. to cover charges from the death of his late
late Majesty, 2,5001. for future current expences
here, and 5,0001. towards the expense of the mission
to Italy to collect witnesses, Mr. Manic the Solici-
tor of the Treasury, on the 10th of July advised
that the particulars of all sums of money paid to or
on account of the charges and expenses of the agent
to be sent to Italy, including his loss-of time and
trouble, should be furnished by Mr. Vizard. Mr.
Vizard answered, that the detai! required could not
be granted, without injury to her Majesty's cause,
until after the termination of the present proceedings.
After some further correspondence, a Treasury
order for the 10,0001. was issued on the 18il, July,
payable to Mr. Vizard, and received by hiui, of
which 4,2 W was to Mr. Henry, her Majesty's
agent in Italy. On the Bth September a further
sum of 10,0001. was p!..(1 by the Treasury to
Vizard, fbr the expenses ut her Majesty's definice.
