FRENCH PAPERS OF FRIDAY.

At the sitting of the Court of Assizes yesterday, M. 13i-
chat, editor of the Tribune, was arraigned for a libel against
the ; r
--ang. contained in an article published in that jontatd,
entitled Du Voyage du Roi d Conzpitgne, in which "fiusions
'ere made to the events at Lyons, and 1."., or
unfortunate
duel in which M. Dulong was k;.1.1,-ed. M. Bichat required that Generals Bugeaud
e La„yette,
Rumignv, and Messrs. La-
Carrel,ttßacot de itomain, Lamy, and
Dupont (de l'2ure), should be heard as witnesses to prove
the trot', of facts stated in the article, but the Court de-
eidded that it would be contrary to law. M. Ledru, the pri-
soner's counsel, in pleading in his defence, referred to the
contest in the Rue Transnonain, and made use of expres-
sions which i'iduced the Advocate-General to call upon him
to declare whether he persisted in asserting that the Go-
l'ernment was the instigator of the occurrences in the Rue
Transnonain. M. Ledru replied, that what he had stated
was the result of a firm conviction, formed from inquiries
Tnde by himself on the spot. The Advocate-General upon
required the Court to insert the words used by M.
Ledru in the minutes of the trial. The President upon
this asked M. Ledru whether he had any explanation to
offer respecting the words he bad used. M. Ledru replied
That it was not upon the Government, but upon the police,
that
he meant to cast the reproach of having provoked the
4ffa rs of June, and appealed to the barristers around, who
declared that ho had spoken only of the police. The Ad-
vocate-General expressci himself satisfied and withdrew his
application to the Court. The trial went on, and M. Bichat
was found guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison-
tnent and a fine of 6,000f.-Gafignani's Messenger.

BoultsE, SATURDAY, 3 o'CLocK.-A report was circu-
fated. yesterday that a discovery had been made of some
°rt-t'ed coupons. To-day an announcement has been posted
UP on 'Change that no such discovery had been made in
any quarter. At the opening of the market the 3 per
Cents. were remarkably flat •at the rate of 76f. 55c., but
they have since recovered to 76f. 85c.
The Spanish Securities are low, they have fallen consi-
-i.er,abiY. The little demand in them, and a total stagnation
o
,flusiness, render it impossible to give any positive price.

PARIS, DEC. 12.-M. de Broglie is definitively appointed
b
assador to London. Nothing is waited for to make
:" nomination Dfficial, but to know the Ministerial ar-
‘tlgeniznts of the English Cabinet.
It was said on 'Change that the Chamber intended to
-Tly to the National the maximum of the penalty, viz.,
fire Years imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 francs. This
may be the wish of sonic fanatics such as we sometimes
~,°leet with, but we find it difficult to • believe that the
‘-'hai,.iber of Peers can have so far engaged itself that it
card be announced before hand that it will condemn, and to
"at penalty it will condemn.
• The Election says, " A courier from Cadiz brings us the
Intelligence that on the 19th, the anniversary of the
eeen's birth-day, the civil governor having objected to the
"ging of patriotic songs by the actors, the spectators threw
atones into his box, and then went to his palace, which
ttlney attacked ; one of the domestics was wounded. At
e, departure of the courier the agitation had not ceased,
'4(lbad spread to Xeres de la Frontera."
People have long considered as a joke the announcement
of a claim made by the Emperor of Russia, as • invested
kith the rights of Poland, to considerable indemnity, which
le pretends to be due by France to that unhappy nation,
consequence of the wars of the empire. It is stated
that the indemnity claimed is 150 millions, and that Prince
tanbeeki is commissioned to demand the payment of it. It
was affirmed to-day that the claim is serious ; that all the
!'°euments in support of it have been received by the
Russian Legation ; and that it is believed that every thing
tnay he hoped from the usual complaisance of the Doctri-
naire Cabinet
