FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Cnstitutionnel of Friday.)
" We have had (says that Journal) another attempt, as
criminal as impotent, against the Monarchy of July! The
following are the particulars regarding it, which we have
collected with care:—
" Some individuals came, a few days ago, to breakfast
at a Traiteur's of the Rue des Prouvaires, end asked him
if he could undertake to supply a repast for 200 persons ?
He refused on account of his want of room. However,
the same persons returned yesterday (the Ist February) at
seven o'clock in the evening, and announced to the
Traitcnr that they would bring the same day a nu net
rous party for supper; they overcame the fresh difficulties
that were started, by depositing an errnest for the cost of
the entertainment, and even for the value of the silver plate.
" Towards ten o'clock in the evening, the Salon of the
Restaurant was filled with about 100 persons, several of
whom had a fume and dress more than equivocal. How
ever, the repast terminated tranquillity ; there was no al-
lusion to politics, but the company had the air of having
something on their minds. At midnight a great quantity
of arms of all sorts were introduced into the house, an I
immediately distributed ; it is even said that ti.e pistols and
fusils were loaded without any concealment.
" But authority, for some days in possession of informa-
tion, had taken all measures of precaution necessary for
the seizure of perturbators before the execution of their
projects. The Chief cf the Municipal Police, accompasited
by a detachment of municipal guards, and a city officer,
repaired to the house of the Restaurant of the Reu des
Prouvaire, where the police knew that the heads of the
movement, which they watched, were assembled. M.
Caller sent to them a city officer to summon them to
surrender. Poucelet answered by the discharge of a
pistol, which took effect on the head of the officer (he
has just expired at the hospital). They then dashed into
the room where the murderer was taken wi.h all the band.
They seized the list of the conspirators, arms of all sorts,
• money, the keys of the Louvre, &c.
" In the attack and defence tht re were several wounded ;
a man also was killed on the side of the conspirators.
" At the same moment it became known than an
' assemblage of 3 to 400 men was forming at the Bastile.
A strong detachment repaired thither, and eff.,eted the
' arrest of about 40 individuals, who were conducted to the
neighbouring post. They were instantly directed towards
the Prefecture by two Commissaries of Police, with the
pistols, the cartridges, the poniards, and the money of
which they were bearers. One of these individuals had
on him a 911111 of more than (100 francs. It is said that
M. C rurtedle, the son of a superannuated Commissary
of Police, an ex- employer of the Prefecture of Police under
M. Mang in, and a half-pay gendarme of Paris, are among
the number of persons arrested in this assemblage. At
this place several individuals were wounded.
" At the same time, between two and three o'clock in
the morning, information was received of an assemblage at
the Observatory. A numerous division of city officers,
dressed in common clothes, repaired to tl is point, under
the command of peace-officer Vmcent, and fell in, about
the Rue d'Enfer, with a groupe of individuals, who re-
treated in disorder, and who were d-ceived by the dress of
the officers. The following conversation took place between
the peace-officer and the apparent chief of the band :
" Do you belong to us ?-Undoubtedly, replied the
peace-officer. The countersign ?—Honour ! Country !
Where ate you going ?—We are surrounded; there are
cavalry there. Come with us, then, said the peace-officer,
we will conduct you.'
" The peace-officer conducted these individuals to the
Place St. Michel, where a sufficient reinforcement appeared
to secure them.
" The Police, foreseeing that communications would
take place between the conspirators of both sides of the
Seine by the Pont-Neuf, and that the fugitives of both sides ,

woo d lass by this importint pcint,*tationed there a s rung
piequet with pence and city officers. Orders we e given
to atop the carriages passing the hi idge, and to scorch them.
Tcese orders produced the best results. More than fifty
individuals with file-'.rata, poniards, lint, end gold, were
seized.

" There three shots were fired at the public force. A
con,prator was killed, several were wounded. Among the

latter is mentioned the valet-de.chatr.bre of M. De.lavaii,
Ex-Prefect of Police. Ile had on burn linen for dressing
wounds.
" At a quarter-past two o'clock a patrol of eight vol-
tigeurs of the Ist battalion of the 1 I th L►gion, commanded
by M. Legrand, corporal, passing by the Croix-Rouge,
perceived at the entrance of the Rue-du-Four a group of
individuals, towards which was approaching a patrol of
the line of the Post of the Abbey, when at the same mo-
ment they heard the cry of ' To Arms !' in the Rue-du-
Dragon. Having repaired thither, together with the line,
they found the Sieur K-rsausie struggling with two policy
agent., who had arrested him, and who threatened to fire
on them with two pocket pistols which he had on him, and
of which one was armed (arna6).
" The Sieur Kereausie, on whose re!ition a report was
read some days ago to the Chamber of Deputies, was ac-
companied by several other individuals, who had advanced,
sotne towards the entrance of the Rue-du-Four, the others
towards the Rue-due-Grenelle, and who all took 11.ght
when the soldiers appeared in the Rue.do-Dragon. T! t
Sieur Kersausie called himself a half-pay Captain of Ca
valry. He was conducted to the Post of the Abbey.
" It is said that the arrests exceeded the number of a

hundred. The authorities have possession of many indivi
dusk of rank, documents seized on them, arms, ammuni-
tion, considerable sums of money, and all that is necessary
to the manifestation of the truth respecting the authors of
the conspiracy and its object.
" Among the persons arrested, is, it is said, a nephew
of M Mangin. An Evening Journal mentions also M.
Delaunay, treasurer of the Society of the Friends of the
People, and the Menton d'Argent of the Company Lacroix.
It is announced al•o that the door-keeper of the Louvre
has been arrested, on the charge of having delivered the keys
of the Louvre.

" An Honourable Member of the Chamber of Der utics,
M.D. G.N,, had been cauti.ned some days ago to be on
his guard, as an attempt was to be rn.de on his life, for
havng been one of the Two Hundred and Twenty • one.
These recommendations were renewed yesterday (Feb. I.)
by a man to whom M. D. G. N. had rendered some pecu-
niary services, and who rffered to repay him with money
rec,ived for forming one of the plot.
" It is said that false patrols of National Guards were
to disarm the posts, and seize them, but that this project
was frustrated by an order of the Staff, received at eleven
o'clock in the evening, enjoining those in command of the
posts of the National Guards, to give pass-cords to 'hell
men, and to allow no patrols to go out.
" It appears that divers circumstances bad for several
days put the police on the track of this infamous conspi•
racy. Sever..) of the old Gardes die Corps arrived at
Paris. Whilst in a popular society a mould was made of
the mask of Robespierre, there were distributed in several
quarters of Paris, casts representing this personage of ter-
rible memory ; there were also distributed medals with the
effigy of Henry V., and white and red labels against Louis
Philip an I his family ; they were thrown into the guard.
room., where the soldiers of the line and the Nation 11
Guards tore them with indignation.

" For several days too, individuals whose opinions were
known, had been heard in coffee-houses to announce a
movement towards the end cf the month ; and other indi-
viduals of different opinions were heard to say to them :
' You think that we will draw the ck.esnuts out of the
fire that y,,u may e!t them ; we will rather cut your
throats.'

" In short, it was mentioned as a certainty about the
Chamber of Deputies, that there had been seized an act of
association between the Carlists and the Republicans. The
following, it is said, are the bases :
" ' To unite for the sake of overturning what exists, to
convoke the Primary Assemblies, and to refer to their de-
' cision the mode of Government to be adopted.'
" These details, read with a loud voice in the Salle des
Conferences, excited the strongest indignation in the De-
puties, and France will have the same feeling. It is time
that the true friends of the country should closely unite to
repress factions, and to secure the triumph of the revolu
tion of July, 1830, such as France has made it, and such
as France understands it. The Government of July ought
to place itself boldly in the defence of the national interests,
and it will easily triumph over a madness, the impotence
of which is every day betrayed by excesses at once odious
and ridiculous.

"'We have no need to ray that the public tranquillity
is re-established, for it has never been compromised.
These isolated attempts, without echo in the mass of the
nation, are, from their results, as insignificant as the au-
thors are guilty.
" Every one asked this evening in Paris who were
the authors of this new conspiracy ? Are they Carlists?
Are they Republicans? Is it not the result of that
monstrous alliance of Carlists and Republican!, to whit,
we have already drawn attention, and to which we shah
still draw attention, in spite of denials, which we do nct
credit, because facts present themselves in abundance to
give the lie to them ?

" To all these questions justice will, no doubt, answer
with certainty ; and we cannot urge too much on the All-
gistrates an investigation into this affair of the most activ,
and complete kind, that the whole truth in ,y be known.
The Journal des Debats says, that " nearly two bur_-
died individuala arc arrested. Tbey form, it is said,

mixture of all parties—Carlists, Bonapartists, and Ile-
publicans; but, as far as ..ve -can believe, the greatcst num-
lax belongs to the Cirrst p aty." The same Paper adds,
" that the public tranquillity was not disturbed a single
instant ; the funds rose, and these restaurant, street, and
boulevard conspirators at most, excited pity."
The Quotidienne says, " The population of Paris has
Earned only this morning, that a conspiracy had been dis-
covered in the course of the night. Tie must contradic-
tory rumours are in circulation."

(From the lioniteur of Fridly.)

Pauts, FEB 2. The Prefect of Police had long sinee
been informed that the ill-intentioned sought for an oppor-
tunity eglin to excite souse disturbances. As usual, the
execreion of their plans on a certain day was assigned
sometirru-s to one point, sometimes to anther : first, it
nas to be at the time of the ball at the President's of the
Council, teen at, that of the ball at the Opera, and, lastly,
at the ball at the Tuileries.
The authorities successively collected all their notices,
and took the necessary precautions.
Yesterday (Feb. 1,) every thing was tranquil till very
late in the evening. Towards midnight the Prefect of
Police was informed that arms had been conveyed to g,
Louse in the street des Prouvaires, where, as the autho-
rities knew, an entertainment for 100 persons had been or-
dered in the muraing of the lardlord of the house by the
imlividu ds for whom arms were doubtless intended.
The house and the street were invested about half-past
two o'clock, the Chief of the Municipal Police wearing his
sash, and attended by S irgens de Ville, a Municipal Guard
entered the house : a musket was pointed at him by one of
the persens in the first room ; happily it missed fire ; but
a pistol shot fired point blank at one of the Sargens de
Ville, wounded him mortally. The armed force imme-
diately entered, and most of the men who were in arms in
ths place were errs steel after a resistance, in which several
were wounded. One of their chiefs was seized, who had
hid himself in a chimney, where he was still armed with
pistols and daggers, and had some large keys, the in-
tended use of which will doubtless be cleared up by the
judicial investigation.
The reports of the Prefect of Police announce that at
the same tune that this was passing in the street des Prou-
vaires, two other assemblages had been formed—one on
the Boulevard of Mount Parnassus, near the Observatory ;
awl the other in the Plac, de It Brstifie. Detachments
of Municipal Guards were sent to these placer : the one
commanded be the brave Colonel Feist Himmel, the other
by Commandant Millordin, and there arrested men pro-
vided with pistols, daggers, and cartridges.
These arrests and oth,rs, in all about 200 in number,
were effected between three and boor o'clock in the morn-
ing. Some of the individuals arrested had pretty consi-
derable sums of money ab 'tit them ; the prisoners were

immediately placed at the disposal of the King's Attorney—
General.

This morning everything was perfectly tranquil—the
greater part of the inhabitants of Pry (lid not even suspect
what had passed. On 'Chang,, it was only spoken of
wi h contempt ; in the Chamber with indignation. This
i• another of the desperate attempts of some men belonging
to all parties, united together by the consciousness of their
weakness, to make an t ffort for the definitive result of
which they little care, provided that its first dil.et is the
disorder which they hope for; but they have again seen
on this occasion, that they had no chance of producing even
a •eriou, alarm.

The troops, encouraged by the example of their worthy
chief.; the Magistrates, supported by the activity of the
Prefect of Police, whose vigilance had forescen everything;
everybody courageously did their duty.
Toe staff of the National Guard had received notice, and
.had formed reserves of several legiims, which remained on
foot all night. To-day there is no other trace of this dis-
order than the legal investigation, which is prosecuting
with care. The law will do the rest.

The Government has already provided for the family of
the unfortunate Sagen dc Ville, who was the victim of his
z!al. 11,compenees arc also proposed for the military who
distinguished themselves on this occasion.

We understand, on authority that has never
yet deceived us, that there is not one word of truth in the
r part so industriously ino,,apted by the Tory Journals,
thAt the AlaFquis of ANGLESEA will shortiy return from
Ireland.—Morning Chronicle.

The report, V which for a length of time has
been en industriously pripagated in all the Tory Journals
and coteries, that a certain Noble Duke, who has hitherto
uniformly supported Ministers in their progress through
the Reform Bill, bad declared, that in the event of an ex.,
tqlsive creation of Peers for the purpose of carrying that
1311, the said Noble Duke, and more than forty other Mem—
tr_r: of the Upper 'louse, had resolved to withdraw their
support from Earl GitE V, turns out, as we anticipated, to
be a complete hoax. A near relation of the Noble Duke
his given the idle tale a flat denial.--.lllorning Chronicle.
A letter from Naples, dated 17th ult., says
that the winter is most brilliant. A magnificent Carnival
is in preparation, the great attraction of which is to be a
splendid masked ball, to be given by the Austrian Ambas-
sador, in honour of the illurrious WALTER SCOTT. The
guests are ail to appear in the costumes of the principal
characters of the " Waverley Novels.'

A favorite actress at the Milan theatre had
l!tely a singular adventure. She had been for some time
attached to a young Italian gentleman. They quarrelled
and parted. The lover became desperate : he declared he
would watch an opportunity and shoot her from one of
the upper boxes of the theatre, and afterwards shoot
litnself. But a short time elapsed, when one evening, as
the lady was warbling a favorite air, she looked towards
the upper boxt.s, and saw her lover as pale as death with
eyes fixed upon her. She trembled violently. The lover
put his hand to his bosom ; instantly collecting her strength,
she ran off the stage, crying, " Se;ze the murderer seize
the assassin The arnazetnent of the audience was in..
describable. The lover escaped.
The present month, February, short as it is,
contains five Wednesi 98—a circumstance that cannot
happen again for the next forty-nine years.
RYE, FEB. 2.—A desperate affray took place
this morning, about one o'clock, between a part of smug-
glers,two armed

Navy, with a few of his null, near the Chamber Station,
about two miles from Rye harbour. Lieut. PARRY re-
ceived two slugs in his shoulder and the bead of a large
nail, and one of his fingers was nearly shot off; three of
his men were also badly wounded : one has two balls in
his leg, which is to be ampu'ated to-morrow. After they
tell they were cruelly beaten by the smugglers about the
head with the butts, of their muskets. One of the smug-
glers was shot through the heart, but they carried away
all their wounded: also all the tubs, except 26, which were
taken, and also the boat. The slugs and the nail have
been extracted, and it is hoped Lieut. PARRY will do well.
The report of the fracas on Thursday night in
the House of Commons between Lord EBRINGTON and Sir
BARDINGE has excited no little astonishment in the
city. For our own part we cannot belive that the words
attributed to Sir 11. HARDINGE were ever used by Ming
because we are quite satisfied that the President of aq
Issetnbly of law-makers would never have sat quietly in
his Chair when a Member openly intimated his willingness
to commit an m.ffe ,ce, whit:a, in its consequences, would
probably lead to murder. It is really not to be borne that
it should he attributed to law-makers that they are capible
of expressing their willingness to break the laws, even in
the Legislative Assembly. Surely this wants reforming
altogether. There can be little liberty or debate where
man runs the risk of getting his brains blown out for
speaking the trutlit.--Mornittg herald.
