VENIN G,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The ilioniteur of yesterday gives the following
version of the conspiracy The day before yes-
terday, at half-past five o'clock P.m., MM. BALES^
TRINO and AIESSE, delegated by the Prefect of Police,
proceeded to arrest thirteen individuals taken in the
fact of clandestinely fabricating arms. Other arrests

berve been placed in the hands of

the police. The'facts hitherto collected have not the
gravity which certain journals have attached to them.
A. military plot at St. Omer has also been spoken of.
The rumour is without foundation."
The Journal des Debats says
For some time past the Prefect of Police has been
aware that persons, remarkable for their demagogical
opinions, were organizing a secret society, which ap-
peared to have for object to attempt the life of the Pre-
sident of the Republic, and to overthrow the present
Government. Lie had made himself acquainted with
the proceedings of these individuals, and soon found
out that they had ramifications with other so-
cialists, and that they were engaged in the
manufacturing of infernal machines of a new kind.
Acting on the information obtained, the police went to
the house near the BarrieN3 do Fontainbleau, where a
number of persons were found engaged in making those
machines, and arrested them. The majority of the pri-
soners belong to the working-classes of alt trades, but
there are among them an ox-teacher named Ch. Pelle-
tier; a medical man named Favre•, an advocate named
Corbet; an employe in a public administration named

details :

'‘ The leaders of this ridiculous and contemptible at-
tempt appear to be one of the persons who conducted
the Commune de Paris, a man who had been a pri-
soner at Belle Isle, an ex-lieutenant of artillery, and
a tailor, who was porter in the isolated house
where the plotters met to fabricate their new sort
of artillery, made, as has been stated, of pieces of
gas-pipe. The ex-editor is one of the persons arrested,
as is the po;ter, and his wife and son, the latter
about 20 years of age. Two other women have also
been taken into custody. The ex-prisoner of Belle-Isle
contrived to escape, but has since been retaken. In the
course of yesterday a carter, two tailors, a compositor,
and a woman who had lived with a man employed at
the Gobelins, were likewise arrested. At the residence
of one of the insurgents of June was found a trunk be-
longing to the ex-lieutenant of artillery, containing a
number of papers connected with the plot. At the
house of the medical man there were also found a num-
ber of letters. At the moment of his arrest he attempted
to swallow a paper, a fragment of it, which was torn
from him, bore the letters che, and No. 16—which cor.
responds with that of the house in the Rue de la Reine
Blanche. An interne belonging to the Hospital at
Orleans, who was found with the medical man, was also
arrested. All the prisoners have been lodged in the
prison Mezas, where they have already undergone a pre-
liminary interrogatory. Several further arrests have
been made, the whole number of prisoners up to yester-
day evening being 31. It appears that according to the
statutes of the association, each of the members of it was
to be provided with one of the infernal machines."
On the same subject we find the following in the
Petrie :
" The information which we have obtained since yes-
terday enables us to confirm the accounts we have al-
ready published relative to a conspiracy in Paris. This
plot is but too real, and we even go to the length of de-
claring that it has not much surprised us. That, not-
withstanding the security which we enjoy, and the assent
given by France to the Chief of the State, and the
lively sympathies which surround and support the Go-
vernment, there are still demagogues incorrigible enough
to dream of the violent overthrow of our institutions,
can cause but a very moderate share of astonishment.
We are, however, at present delivered from all appre-
hension, for plots, although they may ho formed, can
never degenerate into &mute. Thanks to the vigilance
and activity of the Government, they will always be
stdled in their birth. Fresh arrests have been made to-
day, and amongst them aro an avocet, a physician, an
ex-communal teacher, an ex-lieutenant of artillery, some
old Montagnards, and some prisoners who have been
liberated from Belle-Isle."

period, one to transportation, and two acquitted.
General DE LAW4:3TINE, the Commander-in-Chief
of the National Guard, convoked the officers of that
body on Thursday, at his apartment in the Palais
Royal, to take the oath prescribed by Art. 14 of the
Constitution. The General opened the proceedings
by pointing out, in an energetic address, the duties
which the oath would impose on each. These re-
marks were received with great applause, and the
officers of the various corps then took the oath as pre-
scribed. They then separated with cries of " Vive
le Prince."

The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, on pass-
ing through Boulogne, on Thursday, on his way to
St. Cloud, received a veritable ovation. All the
houses in the Grand Itue were decked with flags, and
the inhabitants of the town and the adjacent villages
accompanied his carriage some distance with cries of
" Viva Napoleon."
The Paris journals of Saturday, in their comments
on the QUEEN'S Speech, appear in general to approve
of its contents, and to make full allowance for the
peculiar situation in which the EnOsla Ministers are
placed, in being about to solicit the support of the
electors on principles which they have never consi-

squadron of the Mediterraneanr quitted that port on
the 24th ult. to return to Toulon. This departure,
which was altogether unexpected, was caused by dis-
patches being received from Paris announcing that
the Minister of Marine was about to proceed shortly
to Toulon, and would wish to have the squadron there
at his arrival.
The accounts which reached Algiers' just as the
packet was on the point of starting on the 25th ult.
state that the insurrection had been completely put
dorm on every point. The Governor-General, who
had been about to set off for the disturbed districts, at
once relinquished that idea, which has been rendered
unnecessary by the vigorous measures adopted by the
military.
The largest tower of the Chilteau of Cherveux, near
Niort, one of the most elegant constructions of the
middle' ages, fell in on Thursday morning. Two
female servants, who were sleeping in one of the
chambers of the tower, heard a rumbling noise, and
they hurried away. A few seconds after the fall took
