FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres, dated June 23.)
BOURG MADAM (EASTERN PYRENEES), JUNE 17.
Travellers affirm that a conspiracy was on the point of
breaking, out in the environs of Borga and Manreza. It
is said to have been discovered in consequence of the
seizure of several letters which an emissary was bringing
to France. A great number of persons have been arrested
in both towns. The conspiracy is now considered to be
defeated. The Count d'Esp igne has been absent from
Barcelona for some days. It is said he is gone to Viels to
inform himself of the object of the movement of the
troops, which were siid to be taking place in our de
pant:tents.
MADRID, JUNE 13.—Very important changes have
been made in our diplomacy. M. Toledo, our Ambassador
ut Naples, is dismissed. His disgrace is attributed to the
desire of the King of Naples. Ile was in high favour
with the Queen Dowager. On the other band, M. Luc--
cheri, Neapolitan Minister at Madrid, has been recalled at
the desire of 31. Salmon, who, however, owed to If. Luc-
cheri his elevation to the Department of Foreign Affairs
and Presidency of the Council, with which he was in-
vested ad interim till the marriage of the Queen ; but this
Minister having since joined the Apostolical Party, had
thought to render them a great service by sacrificing his
ancient protector, This ambassador possessed the entire
confidence of the Queen, and being fully acquainted with
all the intrigues of the individuals composing that party,
could not but be a formidable enemy to them. It is a
peat victory gained by the enemies of the King and the
young Princess. M. Luecheri will be succeeded by Baron
Antonini, ,
oninoJ, Secretary of the Neapolitan Legation at Paris.
nguaga, tormerly Minister of the Netherlands,
who was forbidden to appear at Madrid, and was an exile
at Vitoria, has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at
Turi, in the room of the Marquis de Ilanneeourt, who is
to succeed M. Toledo at Naples.
NarbEs, JUNE 2.—The King's fete on the 30th was
Fignalized by the fulfilment of several promises in favour
of the people—a multitude of taxes has been abolished or
diminished ; but what has caused the greatest sensation is,
a decree of the King, which grants full and entire liberty
to all those who are languishing in prison fur political
offences, and in consequence of the insurrection of Monte-
forte, in 1820. Besides this, all exilestare permitted to
retui u to their farni!ies, " in order (says the decree) that
the traces of these fatal errors may ha fur ever oblite-
rated." The people accordingly manifested their enthu.
siasm, and the fete was worthily celebrated.
The King is going to make a tour in the Abruzzos.

Pax's, JUNE 21.—Letters from \ enn of the 1 4tb,
announce to us that the cholera has appeared at Fischer,
TtopFau, and Olmutz. This news t;eetns to be true, for

Prussia has placed a sanitary cordon on the fronticis of
Bohemia, Moravia, and Austrian Silesia. A traveller
;tom Danteic has died of the cholera at Saxe Goths.

At Bro ly the number of deaths amount to 1,500, and
the malady continues to be very intense.
General Wendeschgrati commands a corps of 20,000
men posted in nohetnia, on the frontiers of Saxony, at the
.iisposal of the King.
The corps of Sacken and Pollen, pressed by the Poles,
have retreated into Prussia.

LoNI olt1) ELEGTIoN.---We have received
intelligence of Lord GRANARD'S death. There is, come-
quently, a vacancy in the representation of this tine county,
and we have high hopes the electors will wipe away the
stain of the last election.—Preeman's Journal.

The venerable Earl of FINGAL!, appeared at
the Levee on Wednesday, to kiss hands on receiving his
English Peerage. His MAJESTY, whose courteous good-
nature is on all occasions so conspicuous, laid his particular
injunctions on Lord FINGALL not to kneel low—an
amiable trait of kind attention in the Monarch. His
Lordship was attended by his son, Lord KILLEEN, and
Sir J. DILLoN.— Court Journal.

The Ex-Emperor, Don PEDRO, presented
to Lord CoLcitzsTEß, who commanded the ves,el which
brought him to Europe, a valuable diamond ring and a
gold snuff-box, apologizing, at the same time, that, from
hii reduced circumstances, it was out of his power to make
a more considerable present.

ELECTION PETITIONS.—Three have already
been lodged with the Speaker :-1. A petiti( n from
REES HOWELL GRONOW and WILLIAM. HENRY Hoe-
HOUSE, Esquires, complaining of the Great Grimsby Bo-
rough Election; ordered to be considered July 12.-2.
A petition from JOHN OGLE, and HENRY MARSH, E.-
quires, complaining of the Petersfield Borough Election ;
ordered to be considered July 12.—And 8. A petition
from the Marquis of WORCESTER, complaining of the
Monmouth Borough return; ordered to be considered July
12, if ballots on the preceding petitions can be previously
obtained.

The Prussian Government have published a
calculation, based upon the eatistical tables of the kinz-
dom, for the years 1826 and 1827, from which it appears.
that out of a million of births there were 11,147 cases of
twins, 148 cases of three children, and four cases of four
children at a birth.—Haniburg Reporter.

The King of SARDINIA has diminished his
General Staff, and abolished his Royal Guards, by which
measure he will effect a saving of nearly two hundred
thousand pounds a-year in his expenditure. A few days
after his accession, TAFFINO, the Director of the Police,
handed his MAJESTY a long list of name= of Carbonari,
and other suspected persons. This CHARLES ALBERT
immediately tore to pieces in TAFFINO'S presence, and
then turned his back upon him, exclaiming angrily—
" How dare you, Sir, attempt to play the fool with me?"
MR. GALT'S NEW WORK, " LIVES OF
THE PLAYERS" is running a rapid course of popularity,
which might ind,ed have Wen anticipated from the talent
of the writer, and the attraction of his theme.. In treating
of SAVAGE the poet, who had Keen an actor, Mr. GALT
has discovered several hitherto unknown particulars con-
, neeted with that individual and the Countess of MACCLES
FIELD, which go very far to refute the truth of Dr. JOHN-
SON'S magnificent life of him ; and in the sane spirit of
impartial inquiry, the biographer has been enabled to
throw new light on the careers of other actors, particu-
larly, NELL GWYNN, Mrs. WOFFINGTON, GARRICK,
FOOTE, MACKLIN, HOLCEOFT, Mrs. BADDELEY, Mrs.
JORDAN, and Mrs. SIDDONS.
In consequence of the success which attended
the recent performance of Lord F. LEVESON GOWER'S
translation in rhyme of VICTOR Huco's " Hunan'," in
which Miss P. KIimELE pl 'yeti the part of the heroine,
we understand that it is the in'ention of the Management
of Covent-garden theatre, with the permission of the
Noble Author, to bring it forward publicly early in the
next season. It is a fact not generally known, that after
he had completed his translation, in the last autumn,
Lord F. I EVESON GOWER offered it to Mr. C. KEIIBLE
for representation ; so that no impediment is expected on
the part of his Lordship. Mr. C. KE3IBLE did not act it,
chiefly .on account of the novelty of the experiment, but
also because KENNEY had a play upon the same subject at
the other theatre.

On the subject of " Private Bills," the House
of Lords, on Friday, adopted resolutions similar to those
previously sanctioned by the House of Commons—namely,
to permit the progress of those Bills brought forward last
ssion, where no alteration in them had taken place. At
the same time their Lordships ordered to be prepared for
them an account of the number of all the private Bills.
which were in progress in their House on the 22d of
April last, distinguishing► them by classes, and specifying
the stages to which they had severally advanced ; and also
of such Bills as had passed, but bad not received the Royal
assent.

LOTTERY WITH-DRAIVN.—At the town of
Calmar, in Sweden, the lottery, we le .rn, has been abo-
lished, not by legi.lative interference, but through absolute.
want of candidates for the favours of the fick!e goddess.
This is such a spoke in the wheel of Fm tune as not even
our own BISH himself, her quondam highly-prized Chance-
seller, would be able to remove. It is certain that the
people of the place in question must be calmer in tempera-
ment than any in this part of the world !
We are sorry to state that typhus fever still
prevails to an alarming extent in this city and suburbs, par-
ticularly in the confined lanes and closes, which from their
situation are impervious to a circulation of free
Glasgow Chronicle. . .

About a quarter-past ten on Friday night, as
a phmton, containing four persons, two gentlemen and
two ladies, was driving along the Archway-road, Hollo-
way, the horse took fright, and coining in contact with
the toll-gate, threw the whole party out. We regret to
add, that one of the gentlemen was killed upon the spot,
the other had several of his ribs broken : the arm of one
of the ladies was fractured, but the second escaped with-
out any serious injury. The body of the unfortunate
gentleman was conveyed to a neighbouring public-house,
to await a coroner's inquest. We have not beard the name
of the gentleman, but understand he is a builder from
Westminster.

The (Russian) Grand Duchess HELENA
and suite la.ce arrived at Plymouth. They came direct
from Cronstadt, on board the Kyalm, iI, and Lionelle,
26, which were placed under quarantine. Her Highness
was expected to land on Friday or Saturday.
Why is the death of General DIEBITSCH
likely to create a universal sensation?—Because it will be
felt from Pole to Pole.
Prince TALLEYRAND is Said to have selected
Lord LYNDHURST'S late residence in George-street, for his
ambassadorial mansion, as being the only one in London
capable of affording the suite of rooms necessary to his in-
firm state of health. There are seven chambers on a floor
in this house, which was formerly the residence of COPLEY
the twist (father to Lord LYNDIIL'RST), whose painting:
room forms the banqueting-hall. His Lordship, while
Chancellor, purchased an adjoining hoarse from Mr. DE,
LAFONS, the dentist, which now completes this splendid
habitation.
SIARCH OF HYPOCRISY, OR THE SANCTI-
FIED SHEEP STEALER.-On the sth inst. two brothers, DA-
NIEL and PETER SIMPSON, farmers of Grindale, near Brid-
lington, were apprehended on a charge of sheep-stealing,
to a great extent, from the flocks of JAMES GORDON,
JOHN RIBY, and GEORGE LAWsON, farmers residing in
the same neighbourhood ; and on the day following, after
a very careful examination before H. WILLOUGHBY, Esq.,
of Setterington, were committed to York Castle for trial.
After stealing the sheep, the prisoners drove them to York
fortnight fair, bat prices not meeting their expectations
they drove them hack again as far as Flaxton, and left
them to graze on some land belonging to Mr. ESII. Soon
after this, Mr. Earl saw an advertisement of the robbery,
and a description of the sheep, which answering to those
in his possession be wrote to acquaint Mr. Run. of his
suspicions; the latter went over to Flaxton, rind there
learnt such facts as satisfied him of the guilt of the pri-
soners. When RIBA- returned home from Flaxton,
he
found DANIEL Sistrsos waiting his return, to inform him
that he believed a relation of his (Slarrsorg's) who had
since gene to America, had stolen the sheep, and that it
was, therefore, his desire to restore to him their value.—
Mr. RIBY put him off, by requesting time for considers-
tiou. The next day, (Sunday) DANIEL being a local
preacher among
the Wesleyan Methodists, intended tp
preach at Foxholes, but a little before the time of service
Mr. Run' sent to advise him not to do so, and soon after
the constable and his party gut-roundest SineN o '
wises. • The prisoners ran out of the house into the yard
pre-
wises..
and covered themselves over with straw, under which the}
ivere soon detected.—Leeds Patriot.
