LATEST INTELLIGENCE

(REU"'ER'S TELEGRAMS.)

FRANCE.

PARIS, May 5.

The Official Journal of this morning publishes a
report of ➢I. 011ivier, dated the 4th inst., which
says :

"At the time when the Plebiscite was decreed,
the investigation of the plot of February had been
closed. We had delayed this in order that the involun-
tary coincidence should not have the appearance of
an electoral intrigue ; but the Revolutionists have
not been stopped in their career by the legal armis-
tice which we granted. They thought that destroying
the Sovereign through a crime would be tana-
mount to certain destruction of the State,
and therefore they resolved, before the Bth of this
month, to execute their designs, which had been
long prepared. Under these circumstances, it is
our duty to have recourse at once to public
justice."

A decree of yesterday's date annexed to the
report convokes the Chamber for Public Prosecution
i❑ the High Court, for the purpose of stating the
facts connected with the plot.
A report of M. Grandperret is also published, fill-
ing five columns and a half, in which the facts which
occurred in the secret meetings held at the lodgings
of Dupont, Fontaine, Guerin, Sappia, and others are
narrated.

Several of the conspirators have confessed, and
from the confession of Guerin it transpires that the
plan for the intended outbreak, and the assassination
of the Emperor by means of nitro-glycerine, was pro-
posed as far back as July, 1869, by Dupont.
The rising had already been prepared for the 26th
of October last, but the attempt was then abandoned.
At subsequent meetings, however, the preparations
for the insurrection and the plot against the life of
the Emperor had been continued. A letter of
Mazzini, addressed to Sappia, which has been seized,
informs the latter that he cannot come to the banquet
at St. Maude, and adds, "Duties similar to those for
which you are making your preparations retain me
where I am at present." A letter of Vachu, one of the
heads of the Internal Association, has been found
at Marseilles at the house of Bastelica, referring
to political projects, and to relations with Rochefort.
It says, " I am going to secure the co-operation of
the other centres at Lyons, Rouen, Roubaix," &c.
After an account of the disturbances of February
last, M. Grandferret's report refers to the confession
of Beaury, recently arrested, who declares that
Flourens had encouraged him in the plan to assassi-
nate the Emperor. M. Grandferret also states that
Beaury received three letters from Flourens, two of
which he burned ; the other has been found by the
police. This letter signed Gustave, is dated 20th
April, and the writer says :—" There is not a mo-
ment to be lost. The man with the patent might
leave for the country, and then everything would be
delayed. Only go out at night, and thenin a cab. Do
not fail, I shall be very shortly in Paris to support
you. All depends upon you. Once more, I must
repeat what I have already said, either you ought
not to have had anything to do with it, or you must
be successful."

Experts in handwriting declare the letter is the
same as that from Flourens as confessed by Beaury.
The letter of Beaury of the 24th April, signed
Camille, declares that he will " perform the amputa-
tion at any price." He asks of Ballot another remit-
tance of 140 francs.

Another letter of Flourens, dated 19th April,
which was seized on Ballot, and the authenticity of
which is acknowledged both by the mother and
brother of Flourens, advises Ballot not to advance
any more money, because. that 4‘ which I purpose.
doing is in a fair way to be realised."
Simultaneously Flourens organised, with Sauret,
Greffier, and others, measures to bring about an in-
surrection. M. Grandferret, in conclusion, gives an
account of the seizure of the bombs, and states that
of the 21 bombs 17 only came from the ironfounder
Repet. Another foundry therefore still exists, not
yet discovered. Ballot, who was recently arrested,
declares that he had remitted for Flourens 1,100
francs to Sauret, 550 francs to Beaury, and 1,400 to
Greffier.

Senor Gardoni to clause 12, on the ldil on parliamen-
tary disqualifications, which proposes to limit the

The whole clause was finally expunged by 96 a g dust
