The trial of DARMES . and his accomplices is
fixed for the 2.lth instant. DA rwEsis composing
a long speech which he is to deliver before the
Chamber of Peers, in which, instead of extenu-
ating his own guilt, he proposes to exhibit the
villany of his Judges. It is needless to observe
that the Court will not permit such an outrage
upon its dignity. Nevertheless the Chamber of
Peers must suffer greatly in public estimation by
being thus brought in constant contact with ruf-
fians reckless of life, and therefore pre-determined
to set their authority at defiance. After the
proofs of magnanimity the KING has given in
sparing the lives of wretches who attempted to
take his, it would be surely as safe to try DARMES
by a Jury as by the highest tribunal known to
the laws.

There is no domestic news in the Paris Papers
of any political importance.
INSURRECTION IN EUROPEAN TURKEY.—The Augsburg
Gazette publishes a letter. dated Belgrade, the 2d inst., which
states that the engagement which took place between the
Albanians under the command of the Pacha of Nissa and the
Christian insurgents encamped at Alexeni,sa was must san-
guinary. The Christians fought courageously, but their
forces were two much dispersed, and were unable to re-
sist the compact body cf Albanians. The insurgents, who
had collected their wives, children, and old persons, were
obliged to yield to the furious attack of the enraged
Turks. After their victory the Albanians committed the most
horrible excesses. They murdered children and unresisting
old men. They impaled the prisoners taken with arms in their
hands, they laid the villages in ashes, they violated the females
and then threw them into the flames. Between 20 and 30
villages were destroyed by fire after the flight of the insur-
gents. Accounts from Alexenissa state the Christians after
their defeat fled, some to the mountains, and some into Servia.
It was reported in Belgrade that an insurrection had broken
out in Anatolia.

INSURRECTION IN CANDIA.—The Portafoglio Maltese of
the bth instant announces that the insurrection in Candia had
become general. The Seraskier, Mustapha Pasha, had ad-
dres,ed a proclamation to the Christian population of the
island, offering a general pardon to the insurgents who should
submit to the authority of the Sultan, and announcing to them
that his Highness had reduced the taxes on leather, wine, and
spirits, and redressed other local grievances. This proclama-
tion, however, had not produced the desired effect. The in-
surgents were determined not to accept any boon short of inde-
pendence ; and, according to the last accounts, dated the 21st
ult., they were more than a match for the Turkish forces, who
were afraid to venture out of their strongholds.
EASTERN NEWS.—The Augsburgh Gazette publishes a let-
ter, dated Djedda, March 2, which states that the Arnauts and
other irregular troops which Ibrahim Pacha had left at Mecca
were about to be shipped for Egypt, and that the holy cities
would be garrisoned with Arabian troops. The same letter
adds, that various reports were afloat relative to the movement
of British troops on the coast of the Red Sea, and some as-
serted that, not satisfied with the possession of Aden, they
wished likewise to seize Mocha. On the other hand, it was
said that a French company had acquired a territory on the
coast fora sum of 100,000 f., through she mediation of a French
traveller (M. Combes), fur the purpose of establishing a trade
with Abyssinia.
ROME, NAY I.—A line of telegraphs, as we are informed,
is going to be established from Lombardy, to the Kingdom of
Naples. The effects of the late Cardinal Frsch, will be sold by
auction in a few days, besides an immense quantity of gold and
silver plate ; there is all the linen worn by the Emperor Na-
pokon, when he was in the Isle of Elba, and which is marked
with his arms. The sale of the pictures, the number of which
is considerable, will not take place till some time afterwards.—

The Gazette du Midi of the 11th has the following article:—
" The preliminary inquiries in what is called the Republican
plot continue without intermission. Two persons having been
lately arrested, and two others having surrendered themselves,
the total number of persons now confined is now 36. At
Orange and at Lisle more than forty persons were arrested,
but most of them were released by the Magistrates. Here not
one of the persons accused has been discharged from prison.—
