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 fur 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
Plonabieres. The greatest publicity will be given

to the trials which are to take placo 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 Macmahon 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 quarters
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 soo❑ bring it to maturity.
Letters from Burtio, In Corsici, of the 13th, men-
tion that in some parts of tee 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. The 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, k r Majesty will probably be
received ae. Compiegne instead of Fun' ain.ebleau.
The Monitettr of to-day contains the revenue-
tables of the Minister of Finance, fi r 1857, with the
c imparative receipts of the first three moeths of
1855 and 1856. From these it appears that the
produce of indirect taxes for the first quart er 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 29,285,0001. as
compared with 1855.
The officiel joureal then gives a table of monthly
receipts of taxes and indirect imposts, for the
second quarters of 1855, 1856, and 1857, compared
with the corresponding mon,hs of two previous
years. From this we gather that the monthly in-
crease of 1857 over 1856 was—in April 2,895,000 t.,
in May 5,449,000 f., in June 3,739,000 f. As
against 1855 the increase was—in April 13,510,600 f. ,
in May 12,677,000 f., in June 11,581,00;4. Of
direct taxes in the fist quarter of 1857, we lave
14,950,000 f, rec-ived. The total revenue from in-
cl!rect taxes of the second quarter of 1857 is, as
before stated, 526,017,000 f.
" Count de Moray," says a Paris letter, in the
Independence of Brussels, " is, it appears, d-cidedly
not to return to Russia, and it is conside fed highly
probable that the Duke de Grammont, Minister at
Turin, will be appointed to St. Petersburg."
We learn from Algiers that a further nember 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
couetrymen at the same fort.
The Prince of Syracuse, says a Paris dispatch,
has been in that capital in strict incognito.
The state of M. B6ranger 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-
grele (67 1-3 d Fahrenheit) ; at noon, 28 8-10ths
Cent. 834 F.) ; and at two o'clock, 30 8-10ths C.
(87i F.).

SWITZERL AND.
"The _National Council of Switzerland," says
a lett,r from Berne of the 9th, " ceminenced
to-day the consideration of the conduct of
affairs by the Fe local Council during the year
1850. 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, Presi lent of the Federal Council, showed
that the course (f new•tiati on s did not depend solely
4wn the Federal Council, but that body, he declsred,
was endeavouring to so conduct them as to lead to
a result favourn,',le 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 ri,guliting
every,hing coucorniwy, the permission to reside in
the cantons. MM. Forcer, Martin and Blanche-
nay demonstrated in the clearest mannar that the
proposition could not be acceded 0, as it was quite
at variance with the cantonal sovereignty,
