The dosi,§iiiittiongel of triday says—ti We have now
before us a letter from a well-informed person, dated Lis
bon, the 11th inst., by which it appears that M. Bois le
Comte had on the previous day received some unpleasant
dispateheS from the rreneh °atm:tent, It appears that
M. Mole has bitterly reproached him for hating proposed
to the Queen to land the troops attached to the French
squadron. What adds to the singularity of the matter is,
that it is well remembered that two days after Admiral
Hugon entered the Tagus he Said publicly, that his instruc-
tions weit to land every man belonging to his fleet in case
of necessity."
" We are assured by letters dated Toulon, Dec. 19,that
six regiments of infantry have been ordered to proceed in
the directi )n of the Bth military division, where they are to
be embarked for Africa. The battalions will all be put on
the complete war footing, and will sail from Toulon and
Marseilles at the end of March, 1837. Several regiments
are likewise to be shipped at Port Vendres for the same
destination. The next expedition against Constantine will
amount to at least 20,000 men. A battalion of the Fo-
reign Legion is to be immediately conveyed to Algiers, on
board the corvette Egerie. The last advices from Bona
state that a considerable number of sick have died in the
hospitals from the fatigue of the campaign."—Le Siecle.
The reception of M. Guizot at the Academy was the ab-
sorbing topic of the day. Serious affairs, politics, and Mi-
nisterial and Parliamentary intrigues, had subsided, and
the whole interest was centred in the assembly, where M.
Guizot proclaimed himself a citizen-philosopher, to escape,
no dobut, by confounding those two titles, the double obli-
gation they impose. M. Dupin, however, turned the father
of the doctrine into great ridicule for choosing as his device
an inscription written on the doors of the men of the revo-
lution—' The owner considers the title of citizen' as the
greatest honour.' A considerable number of academicians
were absent on the occasion. The discussion in the com-
mittee, when the discourse of the recipiendary was commu-
nicated to it, had been attended with a good deal of ran-
cour, and the discontented testified their towards
their new colleague by not attending on the day of his re-
ception. Messrs. Etienne, Jouy, Dupin, Talleyrand, and
Chatcaubriand were among the absent. In truth, how
could M. Dupin, pleading in favour of Marshal Ney
against the re-action directed by M. Guizot, view in him a
philosopher meditating with impartiality on the vicis-
situdes of revolutions ? M. Etienne, so distinguished
for taste and elegance of style, could not see in the la-
borious compiler of old chronicles and the heavy annotator
of the History of England a man who correctly spoke
the language of the reign of Louis XIV., or that of the
18th century. But the members of every opinion were
particularly indignant at this sentence of M. (le Segur
The academy has received you, and you render it in some
degree snore French.' M. Etienne declared the sentence
to be barbarous in its form, and bad in its very nature. As
a writer, M. Guizot never belonged to the French school
properly speaking, but to the mongrel school of Geneva, to
which we are indebted for what has been heretofore called
the style refugie. He has gratified us with a number of
articles written in that style in the Moniteur de Gand, and
in the Journal des Debats. How strange it is that a man
who has been raised to power by a popular revolution
should be so little naturalized a Frenchman as to be doomed,
in his capacity of Minister and academician, to produce no-
thing better than a system of government conceived by an
emigrant, and to write works in a barbarous style. The
Gazette de France adds—" The gachis of M. Guizot's po-
sition is such, that he has not the courage to pride himself
on what is most honourable in his life—his fidelity in 1815
to the oath he had taken."—Journal du Commerce.
" Marshal Soult was surrounded 'on his arrival in Paris.
Though naturally rude and imperious, the Duke of Dal-
matia is nevertheless of a very pliant disposition ; there is
a great deal of the courtier in him ; he never resisted the
King's will, and kept up with him a friendly and regular
correspondence ; his Majesty even forgave him most wil-
lingly the inclination he showed to join the gauche, when
it was contemplated to form a Cabinet out of the Opposi-
tion. The Doctrinaires offered him, on his return, the
War Department, in order to oppose him to M. Mole. He
was told that his only opponent in the cabinet of the 11th
of October was the Duke de Broglie, and that M. Guizot
having politically fallen out with the Duke, they would
never sit together in the same Administration. The Mar-
shal replied, ' I require the Presidency of the Council ; I
will leave the Foreign Department to M. Mole, but no one
must be over me to control my acts.' At a private in-
terview between the Marshal and a friend of the Ministers,
M. Bertin de Vaux, the following conversation, we are as-
sured, took place But, Marshal, you are aware that
the Presidency of M. Mole is merely nominal, that M.
Guizot would not have otherwise yielded to him, and that
it was on this condition he accepted the inferior department
of Public Instruction.' No doubt,' replied the Marshal,
but he is de facto master of the elections, of the police, the
prefects, the journals ; do you call that nothing ?'"—Nou-
velle Minerve.

conjunction with Persigny, he made certan proposals to
Viscount Geslin. On a subsequent occasion it was he who
made the first overtures to De Querelles. De Gricourt
made no attempt to deny, or even to extenuate, the charges
preferred against him.
"Of the sei:eii noW in the hands of justice,
De I3ruc was the last IVIld W.as atfested hating set out
from Strasburg, where he had arrived on the alst of Oc-
toner, uo !vas afterwards taken at St. Louis On the Ist of
November, just at the moment that he was about to
cross the frontier's.
" De Bruc; althengh iidt ogned in the plot of tne
:30th of Octobei', teal httiWer initiate'd in the etaivirmy
he was one of the ageritj hi viliedi the 6obspieators placed
the greatest confidence.
" On the 20th of October he was met in ilatiO, tart in-
stead of going to his lodgings he put up at a furnished lic!,et,
where he affected the greatest mystery, and went by the
name of Bayarid. He was the bearer of two letters, the
one addressed by Persigny to Madame Gorda?, in which
the writer speaks of the plot in the most formal terdig:
The second letter was for General Execlmans, and was
written by Louis Bonaparte.
" De Bruc waited on General Excelmam, delivered his
message to him, joined his entreaties to those of Louis
Bonaparte to induce him to enter the conspiracy, and
offered to take him in his carriage to Aremberg. It was
only when he became convinced of the inutility of his efforts
that he resolved on quitting Paris. He left the capital on
the 23d, travelling still under the name of Bayard, and was
seen on the 27th and 28th of October at Neuf-Brisach,
where he spoke with enthusiasm of the empire in a coffee-
room, and denounced in bitter terms the conduct of Go-
vernment towards the sub-officers of the army, in whose
favour he said something ought to be done.
" On the 29th of October he arrived at Friburg, three
days after the rendezvous given him by Persigny. It was
from that city he wrote the latter a letter, which only
reached Strasburg on the 31st, but which adds consider-
able weight to the charges against him. Finally, on the
:31st of October, he returned to Strasburg, stopped at the
Hotel de la Fleur, and called at Persigny's lodging ; but,
being told that this officer had fled, and that the police was
looking out for him, he hastened to quit the Hotel de la
Fleur, and caused his effects to be brought to the lodging
of a friend. He left Strasburg in the evening for Basle,
and was arrested at St. Louis.

" The previous life of De Bruc, formerly one of Charles
X.'s gentlemen in waiting, represents him as belonging to
the Legitim,tist party. He commanded in 1815 a body
of cavalry in La Vendee, and was a chief of squadron in
1830, when he was placed oti half-pay at his own request.
" The only explanation that can be given of the part he
took in this conspiracy is upon the principle of pecuniary
interests. His circumstances were straitened, and he sought
to better them by hurrying on the conspiracy.
" Of the six persons accused as conspirators, and who
have as yet eluded the vigilance of the police, the escape of
Persigny was most to be regretted. The latter had been
long devoted to the cause of Louis Bonaparte—was a man
of active and intelligent mind, and of a bold and resolute
character ; he, of all others, was the best informed as to the
secret springs of the conspiracy. He was to be found
wherever his presence was required, either with the view of
giving activity to the plot, or gaining over partisans ; his
participation was evident from every document produced.
It was connected. with the proof of culpability against each
conspirator, and it appeared that the accusation as regarded
Persigny was in some respects brought to a conclusion.
"The organization of.the conspiracy:was entirely military,
and was to have been placed under the protection of a
grand prevot. Lombard's active participation in the plot is
likewise ascertained. On the morning of the 30th cf Oc-
tober, he formed part of the cortege which accompanied
Buonaparte to the barrack of Vaudrey's regiment.
lie was dressed in an aid-de-camp's uniform, which he had
doubtless put on, like many of his accomplices, at Louis
lionaparte's residence in the Rue des Orphelins. It has
already been stated that h© took the command of one of
the detachments which Colonel Vaudrey furnished, and that
he went at the head of this detachment to the printing-
office of M. Silbermann. lie was hurrying on, as fast as
he could, the printing of theisproclamations, when, hearing
that the movement had been put down at the barrack
of the Finckmatt, he saw that the best thing he could
do was to seek his safety in flight. The facts laid
to the charge of Government are completely identical
with those of which Laity stands accused. Little is
known of the circumstances under which Lombard and
the last four accused persons promised their co-operation.
Still it can be proved, that being some embarrassed by the
want of money, and all the victims of the most unbridled
ambition, they eagerly engaged in a project which, guilty
as it was, promised to supply them with the means of satis-
fying their passions, and acquiring a better position in so-
ciety. Induced by these motives, they resolved to take
part, together with the other accused parties, in an attempt
which might possibly have compromised the political exis-
tence of France, and disturbed the tranquillity of the whole
of Europe. Consequently, the following individvals are
charged, viz. :
" Ist. Vaudrey, Laity, Parquin de Querelles, de Gricourt
de Persigny, Lombard, Gros, Petri, Dupenhouat, and
Schaller, with having, on the morning of the 30th of Oc-
tober last, made an attempt to destroy, or to change the
Government, or order of succession to the Throne ; or to
excite the citizens or inhabitants to take up arms against
the Royal authority ; and with having taken part, by a de-
termination to act, concerted and agreed on amongst them,
in the conspiracy, of which that attempt was the execution.
"2d. Vatolrey, Laity, Parquin, Persigny, Lombard, Gros,
and Schaller, with having, on the before-mentioned day,
taken the command of a troop without any authority or
lawful cause, and solely for the purpose of forwarding the
accomplishment of their guilty project.
" 3d. Parquin, with having on the before-mentioned day,
arrested and detained the lieutenant-general commanding
the military division—Persigny, with having arrested and
detained the Prefect of the department of the Bas-Rhin
—Schaller, with having arrested and detained Colonel
Leboul—and Vaudrey, with having promoted those acts,
by placing at the disposal of those who executed them a
portion of the soldiers under his command.
"4th. Eleonore Brault (widow Gordon), with being an
accomplice in the first-mentioned offence, and with hav-
ing promoted it by guilty machinations or artifices, and
with assisting its authors in the acts by which it was
arranged or facilitated.
" sth. The before-mentioned Eleonore Brault and Fre-
deric de Bruc with having, by a determination to act, con-
certed and agreed on among several persons, taken part in
the conspiracy of which the attempt of the 30th of October
was the execution.
" 6th. Frederic de Bruc with having made to General
Excelmans a proposition (not accepted) to take part in the
said plot.
" 7th. Parquin, de Querelles, de Gricourt, de Persigny
and Lombard, with having, on the before-mentioned day,
publicly worn a uniform to which they hail no title.
" These beinr, crimes and offences provided for by the
87th, 88th, 93d, 341st, 59th, 60th, 89th, and 259th articles
of the Penal Code."
INSURRECTIONARY ATTEMPT AT VENDOME.

The same publication says----" One of the strongest mo-
tives which induce the Chateau to separate from England
is, that the policy of the English Cabinet is completely re-
volutionary, and in proof of this certain attempts de-
nounced by Austria are appealed to. It would appear that
the Cabinet of Vienna has ascertained that agents from
England are passing to and fro along the shores of Italy,
with the view of preparing the population for an insurrec-
tion. It should be known, too, that M. de Talleyrand,
after being up to 1832 very English, is now becoming very
Austrian; his st le admiration is the policy of M. de Met-
ternich ;itis a mixed and less compromising system. M.
de Appony is quite in favour at Court : he is preferred to
M. de Pahlen, who has preserved all the stiffness of a Cos-
sac officer. M. de Appony has no great extent of talent ;
he is an insignificant diplomatist—indeed, altogether, such
a person as M. de Metternich is in the habit of employing,
in order to retain all the power in his own hands. He is
very fond of theatres, both small and great, and attends
but little to business. As for M. de Pablen, he is called
the northern hear. His house stinks of tobacco so intole-
rably as to affect the nerves of even the least delicate
beauties of the Court. It is, however, asserted that his
Muscovite Excellency is gradually humanising, and he is
expected to dance this year?'
The Courricr Francais of Monday says—" The depu-
ties are daily arriving in Paris, but their number is as yet
very limited ; and it is to be feared that many among them
will not be at their posts at the opening of the session.
Most of them do not intend to come up until after the first
of the year, to be present at the first debates on the ad-
dress. The members now in Paris have formed into three
different rcuniens, all opposed to the Ministry. The most
numerously attended belongs to the left and left centre ;
another has joined the portion of the centre which votes
with M. Ganneron ; and the third meets in the saloon of

M. Mathieu de la Redorte, and consists principally of the
friends of M. 'Tiers. A morning journal announces, that
at their first meeting .the deputies agrZ:ed on the choice of
the candidates for the Vice-Presidency, and Board of the
Chamber. Those candidates ere Messrs. Calmon, Beren-
ger, Teste, and Etienne for the Vice-Presidency, and Se-
cretaries Messrs. Vivien, Felix Real, Cunin Gridaine, and
Boissy d'Anglas."

We have already stated that Bruyant, at the entreaty
of his counsel, had consented to lodge an appeal against the
judgment of the court. For several days back the council

of revision engaged with one of these appeals was proceed-
ing with the utmost activity ; a reporter had been ap-
pointed for the purpose of examining the numerous docu-
ments relative to this matter, and it was announced that
the council was to sit during this week, in order to give
its decision. It, however, appears that Bruyant, who

was constantly declaring that he had done wrong to
appeal, has discontinued to support the application
made with the above view. Thus the cap►tal sen-
tence pronounced against him becomes irrevocable and
peremptory. The question is, will the execution take
place ? No doubt is entertained here that the Royal
clemency will be extended to Bruyant, so as to rescue
him from the extreme punishment of the law. This convict
has been declared innocent of the murder of Barrieux, it
therefore appears that he was condemned upon a fact of a
purely political .nature. It must be added that although
Bruyant has desisted from his appeal, and that, consequently,
there can be no further discussion upon the regularity of the
proceedings, or the legality of the sentences, still we can
have no hesitation in believing that the erroneous mode of
procedure, and the false application of the law, will be
taken into consideration in the exercise of the Royal Pre-

INSURRECTION AT STRASBURG.
(CONCLUSION OF THE ACT OF ACCUSATION.)
" It was at the barracks of Finckmatt that Querelles was
arrested. On arriving at Strasburg on the 27th of Octo-
ber, he gave up his lodgings to Louis Bonaparte the mo-
ment he arrived, and on the following day he installed him
in the apartment which he had previously engaged for that
Prince.

" On the evening of the 29th he joined a supper party
given by. Persigny to Louis Bonaparte. That night and
the following he passed in the company of the Prince and
the principal conspirators. On the next day he formed
part of the band, up to the moment of his apprehension. It
also appears, that although only a Lieutenant of light in-
fantry, he thought proper to assume the military decora-
tions
belonging to a General of division. He and Gricourt
wore alternately the imperial eagle. His chief employment
seems to have been to excite the enthusiasm of the troops.
" A memorandum-book found at his lodging fully proves
that these acts were the result of an organized plan, of
which he was the contriver. He relied on the seduction
of a considerable nun Vier of men. 300 stout fellows, with
strong lungs, employed to call out, The emperor for
ever,' seemed to promise an infallible moans of success.
It appears from the same memorandum-book, which con-
tained his most secret thoughts, that for the last three
months he had entered into the conspiracy.
" It was also at the barracks of Finekmatt that Gricourt
was arrested. Although never in the army, lie assumed
the uniform of a staff-officer. On hearing- of the arrival of
Louis Bonaparte, he instantly went out to meet the Prince
at Illkirch. He took a seat in his carriage, and returned
with him to Strasburg. He was present at the supper
given by Persigny to Louis Bonaparte. lie was amongst
the number of the conspirators who spent the night of the
29th and 30th of October at the apartments of the Prince.
Gricourt belongs to the Legitimatist party. For a long time
back he had manifested his hatred to the King's Govern-
ment.

'Bruyant is a member of a very respectable family, many
of whom have been employed in the office of Woods and
Forests. His family will, no doubt, use their influence to
support the petition for his pardon.—Gazette des Tri-

" Being related to the Bcauharnais family, he was on in-
timate terms with Louis Bonaparte ; he was at Arembcrg
at the period of the Fieschi plot. Since that moment he
has been remarked in all the succeeding conspiracies. In
