A Peer observed, on the intr., pretation, that he did not

his Ite nosh ion, upon which he was somewhat generally
interrupted by ci lea of " order, order, at the Bar."
Loid Elleithorough deelated that the words had not

FOREIGN I NTE L LIG ENCE.

PARIS, AUG. 20.—For SlYne.: time past Govern.
ment has been in pos,....ssion of ::tforinatin that
machinations wea, employed to induce the troops to
revolt. They wise satisq.sl that the gool spirit
which animates th,, hlendit soldiers woold batik the
projects formed by certain in,m, always ready to
saisifice their own honour and the repose of their
country to their pride and cupidity. The Govern-
ment watched all their prceectlim;s. Thes:4 madmen
believed that they were stitli:iently r.verfal to
overturn the throne, and the protecting iastitutions
that France owes to the King. A certain number of
officers and non commissioned officers of the corps in
garrison at Paris had been seduced. There were
some even of the Royal Guard who had suffered
themselves to be drawn into the 'dot.
Yesterday evening • these officers agreed among
themselves to meet ut the barracks, to assemble the

soldiers, to march against the palace of our Kings,
and to proclaim as sovereign some member of the
Buonapartean family ; but many of those whom
they had attempted to seduce by their perfideous pro-
peals, did not hesitate to repair immediately to
their chiefs, and discover the plot which was about
to explode. Government could delay no longer.—
Those who had taken part in this criminal conspiracy
were arrested by the gems d'armeric.
It appears that oae part of the plan of the conspi-
rators was to seise on the castle of Vincennes. A
Are, that was soon extinguished, broke out at three
o'clock in the afternoon. It is reasonable to suppose
that this was intended to create disorder, and ilivour
an attack.

France has a right to expect that such an attempt
will be punished in a manner that shall intimidate
all those who, forgetting their duty and their oaths,
would turn against social order those arms which
have been confided to them for its defence. Nothing
ought to be neglected that may secure the authors
as accomplices of a conspiracy, which, directed
against the Throne and the Charter, attacked at the
same time every member of the state in his dearest
sentiments and best rights.
The most elevated tribunal, that which the Char-
ter with a salutary foresight to repress attempts
against the safety of the State, will no doubt be
called upon to sit in judgment on the greatest crime
that the law can have to punish.
Sheltered from all influence, above all sinister
suggestions, that august tribunal, bettter than any
other, will recognize innocence, and dismiss
ill-
founded suspicions, while it detects the guilty, who-
ever they may be.
The city of Paris enjoys the most perfect tranquil
lity. The citizens have learnt, in the same moment
the existence of the plot and the arrest of its authors.
VIENNA, Auo. 6.—The Court Gazette of to-day
*Mains the fidlowing article:—'` We have been
requested by the Embassy of his Majesty the King
of Great Britain and to the Imperial Court to insert
in our paper the following declaration, viz.: that
the statements which arc contained in an article
dated Vienna, in No. 11 5 of the Allgemeine ZeiNng,
of August 2, this year, respecting several witnesses
on the trial of the Queen of England, in reference
to the British Embassy, are mere fictions and lies."
HANOVER, Auousr 2.—Several witnesses have
passed through this city, who are to give evidence
before the House of Lords respecting the conduct of
the Queen of England, during her last visit to Ger-
many. Letters received by the English here from
their friends at home, do nut speak with the same
confidence as formerly of the peaceable issue of this
famous trial. The decision in the Upper House,
alley say, does not seem doubtful, but its reception
in England, and the execution of any sentence are
not so certain ; the prudent and collected conduct of
the Queen since her return gains her, they say, im-
portant suffrages, and the women in particular es-
pouse her cause. The principal inhabitants are now
gone to the watering places, but the labouring
classes are employed in the Royal Palaces, us the
Duke of Cambridge is expected this summer, and
we have not given up the hope of seeing the King.
VIENNA, AUGUST 9,-.-There is much talk here
of a confidential circular of a powerful Monarch in
the North, addressed to alt the Sovereigns who
signed the Holy Alliance, to induce them to pre-
pare their contingents of troops, for the purpose of
opposing the revolutionary measures of demagogues
ia the South of Europe.
AUGUST 12.—Feum one of our correspondents
at Leghorn we have received the following particu-
lan of the dreadful events at Palermo, as related by
an eve-witness who left that city on the 19th.—
When this traveller departed, the military, af.cr
three days' massacre, had been entirely overpower-
ed; several hundreds lay dead on the streets, the
rest were imprisoned in the dungeon of the garey
slaves, before which the sa:.lt: svri:llitls kapt guard

who had been conlincd thLre only a few days 1;:t )re.
Citation, loaded with gr:lpe shot, are plattted I.
!Ora the priyin to tire oil the imprißoned soldiers at

the first signal. Three or four thousand inhabitants
of Palermo likewise lay dead in the streets.
The government, if such it can be callel, was in
the hands •of the various iiirectot, of trade, who
commanded the armed populace, and formed a kind
of iienate, whose. despotic orders were summarily
executed by the mob under its influence, The ge-
neral cry was, " independence, and eternal separa•
tion from Naples ! but those woo first set up this
cry had alreany disappeared from the stage, or, if
any one of them shewcd himself, he was immediately
the victim of popular fury.
The heads of the Princes Cattolica and Villa Franca
(the last Minister during the Sicilian Parliament,
and both the most zealous revolutionists in the
country) were fixed upon poles in the middle of the
city, and their bodi,:s goartered and exposed in four
differeut streets. Many other persom, among whom
arc mentioned the Commander of the Port, and, us
some Miirm, Prince Palermo and Prince Couto have
likewise been murdered ; the victims of private
revenge are innumerable.
For the mere attempt to conceal three or four
officers, a man was shot, and his body nailed to the
door of his own house. A great many houses were
plundered, or the furniture thrown into the street
and burnt. To increase these horrors, provisions
were becoming scarce, as nothing WdS brought to
market in the general confusion, while thousands of
armed peasants kept pouring into the city on all
sides. It was generally believed, that in case of
famine, the soldiers in the prisons would be left to
starve.

As far as was known, the rest of the island was
tranquil, but the wish for independence and separa-
tion from Naples was general. Niessina alone seemed
inclined to adopt the Constitution, if the scat of Go-
vernment were removed from Palermo to Messina.
Accounts from Palermo of the 20th arc more con-
solatory. The Archbishop proceeded through the
street with the Cross, and exhorted the people to
humanity and tranquillity. It was hoped that the
latter would be gradually restored.
MADRID, Au°. 10 —A very interesting discus-
sion occupied the Cortes during three consecutive
sittings. The Marquis de Castellar, Captain of the
Guards, had arrested M. Aguilera, an officer of the
Guards, who had published a writing against his
superior officers, an act which is forbidden by the mi-
