THE CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE.

" The French police," says a Paris letter in the
Nord of Brussels, continue to display the greatest
activity in their researches after all the Italians
suspected of having taken part in the late plot.
As the first act of the conspiracy was to have
been an attack on the life of the Emperor, the
French Government have a particular interest
in searching for and seizing on all the ramifi-
cations of this revolutionary attempt. About
thirty Italians have been already arrested
at Marseilles, and on the frontiers of the
Var, of the Jura, and of Switzerland. At
the time of the arrest of Bonaldi and
Liprandi in Paris, not long since, the police
discovered the cipher by the aid of which they cor-
responded with Mazzini, and, thanks to that dis-
covery, the French Government was able to follow,
day by day, the march of the conspiracy which
broke out at Genoa, at Leghorn, and in the Neapo-
litan States, and it is said that the Sardinian police
seized at Genoa the special instructions of Mazzini
relative to the Emperor of the French. A copy of
these instructions has been sent to his Majesty at
Plombieres. The greatest publicity will be given
to the trials which are to take place in consequence
of these arrests, in order that the disclosures made
may serve as a warning and an instruction to the
whole of Europe."

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
It is said that General Macniahon is to be pro-
moted to the rank of Marshal of France, on the oc-
casion of the Emperor's fete, the 15th August.
The news of the hArvest from nearly all quarte.s
of France is most cheering. In some the reaping
is over, and in other places, where the corn is not
yet ripe for the sickle, the heat, which in. Paris, at
least, is intense, will soon bring it to maturity.
Letters from Burtiu, in Corsica;, of the 13th, men-
tion that in some parts of tie island the yield of
grain is superabundant, and good throughout the
entire. The price of wheat,
.which had been high,
has fallen 20f. the hectolitre. In the Calvados
wheat has fallen 3f. the hectolitre. Th 3 price of
fat oxen has also declined.

The date of Queen Victoria's visit is not fixed,
nor has it been officially made known as yet.
Should it take place, htr Majesty will probably be
re 'eived at, COmpiegne instead of Fontainebleau.
The Moniteur of to-day contains the revenue-
tables of the Minister of Finance, ft.r 1857, with the
onnparative receipts of the first three months of
1855 and 1856. From these it appears that the
produce of indirect taxes for the first quarter of 1857
is-526,017,000f. against 499,732,000 f. in 1856,
and 442,962,000 f. in 1855 ; showing an increase of
83,055,000 f. over last year, and 29,285,000 f. as
co npared with 1855.
The officisl journal then gives a table of monthly
receipts of t axes and indirect imposts, for the
second quarters of 1855, 1856, and 1857, compared
with the corresponding mon►hs of two previous
ye irs. From this we gather that the monthly in-
crease of 1857 over 1856 was—in April 2,895,0001.,
in May 5,449,000 f., i❑ June 3,739,000 f. As
against 1855 the increase was—in April 13,510,000 f.,
in May 12,677,000 f., in June 11,581,000 f. Of
direct taxes in the fist quarter of 1857! we have
14,950,000 f, received. The total revenue from in-
direct taxes of the second quarter of 1857 is, as
before stated, 526,017,000 f.
" Count de Morny," says a Paris letter, in the
Independence of Brussels, is, it appears, decidedly
not to return to Russia, and it is considered highly
probable that the Duke de Grammont, Minister at
Turin, will be appointed to St. Petersburg."
We learn from Algiers that a further number of
40 hostages given by the Kabyle tribes have arrived
at the Fort of Bab-Azoun. They were escorted by
a detachment of chasseurs, and appeare I perfectly
resigned to their fate. Some others still remain at
Tizi-Onzou, who will be shortly sent to rejoin their
countrymen at the same fort.
The Prince of Syracuse, says a Paris dispatch,
has been in that capital in strict incognito.
The state of M. Beranger was so much worse yes-
terday as to remove all hope of his recovery.
The heat yesterday was-exceedingly oppressive
in Paris. At six o'clock in the morning, M. Che-
vallier's thermometer marked 19 6-10ths Centi-
grede (67 1-3 d Fahrenheit) ; at noon, 28 8-10ths
Cent. 831 F.) ; and at two o'clock, 30 8-10ths C.
(874- F.).

SWITZERLAND.
"The National Council of Switzerland," says
a letter from Berne of the 9th, " commenced
to-day the consideration of the conduct of
affairs by the Federal Council durinc, the year
1856. The principal discussion took' place on
the episcopal difference of Ticino, the deputies
being desirous of severing the bonds which
connect that canton for ecclesiastical matters
with the bishoprics of Como and Milan. M. For-
nerod, President of the Federal Council, showed
that the course of negotiations did not depend solely
on the Federal Council, but that body, he cleclAred,
was endeavouring to so conduct them as to lead to
a result favourable to the honour of Switzerland.
Tile assembly afterwards was occupied with various
propositions, one of which tended to accord to the
Federal Council the absolute right of regulating
everything concerning the permission to reside in
the cantons. MM. Furrer, Martin and Blanche-
nay demonstrated in the clearest manner that the
proposition could not be acceded to, as it was quite
at variance with the cantonal sovereignty.
