FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

-PARIS, SEPT. 21.—The Duke of Wellington
- -finding himself indisposed near Beauvais, stopped
there on Thursday and was bled. It appears
that this indisposition is a continuation of that
which his Grace experienced before his departure

from london.
The Duke of Wellington did not arrive in
until yesterday. Ile is accompanied by

Lord Fitzroy Sinner set.
Some alarm was excited this morning in the
Bois de Boulogne, in the neighbourhood of the
Chateau de Madrid. Flames were seen to burst
out in an unaccountable manner from the dry grass
and the brushwood which encircle the chateau,
producing an immense column oT- fire and smoke.
The vicinity of Bagatelle, "where the Infay,ts of
France go every day, caused some apprehension;
but the Royal Guard, the gens d'armes of Paris,
and the sapearspornpiers hastened to the spot
'spontaneously, and the fire was extinguished al-
most as soon as their arrival... It is considered
that the fire could have arisen from no other
• .cause than from some smoker having cast the
contents of his pipe or lighted s.egar among the
grist, which from its extreme dryness took fire.
No accident whatever 'occurre4.l.,--(Journal des

D6buts.)
The Moniteur of yesterday (Friday) contains
the• following paragraph :
" We have this instant learned that an atteni'pt
_to effect the escape of the four individuals under
, sentence of death' 'for - the Rochelle -conspiracy,
has just been defeated at the prison de Bicetre ;
-those who undertook to bribe the gaoler, are in
custody, and a considerable sum of money has
teen seized. All, the agents of authority' have
done their duty. To-morrow we shall comma-
_ nicate the details."
We (The Quotidienne of Saturday last) can
'vouch for the authenticity of the following state-
. ment :—" Since the 14th inst., a Medical Student,
named Marque, who attended the Physician on
their visits to the Hospital of the Bicetre, had
sought to gain over the Keeper. After a few in-
terviews the conversation turned upon the situa-
tion of the condemned men. Endeavours were
made to excite his sympathy in their fate; and,
finally, very ample offers were made. Con-
; .ferences took place to concert their escape ; the
importunities of Marque became more and more
urgent; he went so far as to offer 50,000 francs,
and gave hopes of much more. Several inter-
views were appointed, but some difficulties
always intervened to defeat them. At length the
student Marque applied to know what terms
the Concierge would accept, which he declared
himself prepared to guarantee. He offered to
pay down 10,000 francs, and the whole sum (now
increased to 60,000 francs) was to be paid the
moment the
.prisoners should be free. Marque
promised every thing ; he assured the keeper that
be -had nothing to fear, because, as he said, the
police of ce.s Messieurs (it was thus he designated
certain personages) was much more powerful than
that of the Goiernment.—He must, he observed,
`,go to Paris,to conclude the treaty with the said
illessieuis." He returned about five o'clock,
and stated, that two of the Messieurs were ab-
sent from the capital, and that he must, conse-
quently, postpone matters until the following
day. At last, after these successive delays, the
Student entered the Keeper's Lodge, took from
pocket five thousand francs in gold, and five
thousand in notes, and appeared to be sure of
success. At this moment, a Peace Officer pre-
sented himself, and announced to Marque that
he arrested him in the name of the King. Marque
was disposed to make resistance ; the officer
kept him at bay, and a Brigadier of the Gendar-
. merle, who• had been stationed in observation,
entered, and secured this young man. The affair
is now under the cognizance of the King's Pro-
, cureur ; and the 10,000 francs have been de-
- posited in the registry."
We ',lie the above details without comment.
We will merely repeat what we have before so
frequently asked.:—How does it happen that
the,principals of this band of conspirators still
find dupes among the French youth' They
~offer gold, they employ spies, and they continue
undiscovered. Let us, however, hope that they
will not long remain in the shade which conceals
,-them. The 'young and courageous Magistrate to
whom has been confided the charge of watching
over the safety of the Monarchy, will eventually
succeed . in penetrating the dark abode in whiCh
they are concealed. Let us fervently hope that
they will be dragged forth, and at the same time
..encourage M. de Lavau to continue to merit the
public 'confidence by his vigilance and activity.—

Two Police Officers have searched the resi-
dente.ol M. Benjamin Constant; they were fur-
: nished with a mandate, authorising them to
examine his papers, and to seize any copies they

Oral Mangin.

Thist mandate does not give him the title of
tinputy, . although six weeks have not elapsed

The Sietirs Lainort, Editor and Proprietor of

lisher of that paper, were cited to appear on the
18th inst. before the Preliminary Tribunal of
. Metz, for having published an article under the
head of cc Historical Narrative of Events, which
'have taken place at Colmar," &c. having in view
to excite hatred and contempt towards the
_King's Government, and to defame and injure
the Authorities of the Upper. Rhine.
It now appears certain that the Duke de San
