Nothing further has transpired relative to the
Gonspiracy detected in France ; but that it is
detected must be gratifying to all who do not
-wish to see Europe again forced into the bloody
labyrinth of general Revolution. The facts
already before the Public are sufficient to stamp
a decided, character on this plot. The tricolor
Flag alone marks it as Jacobinical. It is curious,
.that this.symbol, which began with'massacre and
rebellion in Paris,, has been found wherever and
-whenever there was a hope of similar atrocities
in any other country.—lt was the favourite badge
of the London Corropooding Society in 1794 ;
;it was hoisted by Young Watson in Smith-
field ; it was to have been waved in the midst
-of slaughter and conflagration by Thistle wood
and logs. The Carbonari of Naples and-
Piedmont had their respective Tricolor's ; and
now Neapolitans, Piedmontese, Milanese, French-
men, and Spaniards are congregating together
under the same horrid banner at Vittoria.—We
are happy to say, that we believe the French
array, as at present constituted, is proof against
this kind of lure. The French People are sick
and weary of revolutions, and the soldiery are
organized on principles adverse from such an at-
tempt. Nevertheleso, when we remember the
partial plots of lust year, we cannot but say that
the utmost possible caution should be observed
in guarding against their recurrence. That
care we have reason to believe has been effec-
tually taken, and the Tricolor scheme is confined
to the vagabonds and traitors assembled at Vit-
toria, and to souse few scattered partizans in
France, most of whom are now arrested. There
is however one part of the plot which has not,
and we fear will not be sufficiently fathomed—

we mean, the ✓source from which the funds of the
conspiracy were supplied. This scheme cannot
have been carried on without a considerable ex-
penditure of money. There are some rich men
in France who would willingly make large sacri-
fices for the success of the revolutionary cause—
but perhaps their riches will also enable them to
evade justice

[Tim TimEs.]
We hate received the Paris Papers of We

rresday, and letters of the name date. The
notice which these journals venture to take of
the late arrests is sufficient to prove the great
interest which that exercise of authority has ex-
cited at Paris, though the cause is still only
obscurely alluded to. In the mean time, our
private correspondence enables us to add some
important facts to the information which we have
already published on this important subject.---
We are assured that a great number of officers,
both in the army of the Pyrenees and In Paris,
had engaged in the conspiracy. It is said that
at Bayonne atone the number of officers im-
plicated is forty.tive, who will be arrested im-
mediately on the arrival of the Duke of
Belluno. The standards of insurrection---the
eagles and oi-coloured cockades—have long
been prepared, The ramifications of the plot arc
said to be very extensive. Some French officers
who have lately irrived at Corunna, and othersl
mho are still in this country, were to have been
active co-operators in the revolt. Two of Gen.
Guilleminot's Aides-de-Camp, are accused of
beading the conspiracy in the army. Guilleminot
himself, having the character of a liberal in po-
litics, lla‘ always been an object of suspicion and
dislike with the Ultra Royalists. He was only
appointed to the important rank orMajor-Ge-
neral on account of his military talents, and the
reluctance of Prince Hilt to have a Marshal of
France at the head of his Staff. His Royal
Highness, it seems, anticipates nothing but suc-
cess and pleasure in his expedition. It would
appear that he exemplifies the proverb of mak-
ing Chateaux en Espagne, and was unwilling
that any other should he associated with his
own in so glorious an enterprise. The state
of the army has, however, rendered' it ne-
cessary that Marshal Victor, to whom it is
said this -horo of Bourbon has a personal
should repair to the head-quarters. The pre-
vailing opinion at Park is, that the army will
anon cross the Bidasson. It is acknowledged by
the prudent part of the Ultras, that there will
be danger in advancing, hut it is apprehended
that there will be still more in remaining inac-
tive. Marshal Victor carries in his pocket the

prociamaiion which is to be issued as soon as
the army shall advance beyond the French
frontier. It was prepared some time ago, and
is conceived in, the spirit of the King's speech
on the opening of the Chambers.

(MORNING POST.]

isin article of the 20th inst. from Bayonne an,
noonces that, according to recent intelligence
from Madrid, five or six thousand armed inhabi-
tants of Andalusia• were marching towards the
capital to its,ist. in the removal of the King and
Government, and to strenthen their escort. ' It
is the passage of those volunteers through Estra-
xnadura on their way. to Madrid which may •have
given rise to the report of an insurrection in that
province. In the capital itself, complete (ran-
quillity is, said to have prevailed, and no dispo-
sition existed to oppose the (II pn rt ore of the
King. The Civil Authorities of the Northern
Provinces had received orders from the Govern-
ment to retire thirty Spanish leagues (about 105
miles) into Ole interior,and had begun to execute
the command. They were followed by the riehest
merchants and proprietors, -who having declared
in favour of the Constitutional System, dreaded
the vengeance of the Chiefs of the Faith, who
were to accompany the French army in its
march. They carried away with them all that
could be conveyed, and it appeared evident that
the defensive system, so successfully adopted by
our immortal Commander in Portugal, would
be followed to a considerable extent, and
that the enemy would have to penetrate
through a• country deserted by its inhabitants,
