LONDON,
MONDAY, MAY 17, 1819.

We receiv,ed yesterday and this morning the
Paris Papers of ThurAay and Friday last.

The

- - . •
trial of CANTILLON and MAnINET, charged with
attempting to assassinate the Duke of 114,LLING-
TON, proceeded on Tuesday and Wednesday. On
the former day the question arose upon which so
much was formetly said, whether the Duke of
WELLINGTON'S letter to Lord KINNAIRD con-
tained a guarantee for the sate return of MARINET
JO the Netherlands. Sir G. MURRAY having
given evidence of the letter which he received front
Lord Kinsman, referring to the otter of :MARIN RT
to disckse the conspiracy, the latter stated, that
in proceeding to Paris he relied upon the gua-
rantee given in the Duke of WELLINGTON'S letter.
The A OVOCATS-GaNBIZAL interposed, asserting
that the Duke of WELLINGTON nettled having
written any such letter. MnittNET persisted that
such a letter had been written by the Duke to
Lord KINNAIHD,, and that on his arrival at Paris
the latter assured hint, that the Duke of WF.I.-
, tANG"rON had again promised that his (NIARINET's)
sate return to the Netherlands should he gua-
ranteed. I he ADVOCATE-GENERAL defended the
Duke of WELLINGTON boll) the ilOpUtatiOß thus

hononr of his GraCeartlld not be doubt ettj here there

condemned by the President. The Aotto6aTE-
GeNERAL proceeded to reNr to the peftion
of
Lord KlNNatno respecting thirr-tinestioo, which
was presented some time since to the Chamber of
Peers, observing, that upon that occasion it was
stated by M. tie MoNTMORR,NCY, that the Duke
of WELLINGTON had declared that he had made
no promise whatever to 11ARINET. The Minister
of Police, the ADVoCATB-GENERAL observed,
had only promised MattINET that he should not
he arrested on account of the sentence pronounced
against him in 1816 but neither the Duke of
WELLINGTON 001 the Minister made any promis,e
to him that he should remain at large when he had
been found to be concerned in the conspiracy against
the Duke. M. Dopier, the Advocate for MARFNRT,
disclaimed any intention of throwing the slightest
imputation either upon the Gott et nment of France
or upon the Duke of WELLINGTON but still con-
tended that the letter of his Grace was considered
by the ENGLISH AMBASSADOR in the Netherlands,
by Lord KINNAIRD, by the PROCUREUR-GENERAL
of that Kingdom, and by the Count fps IVOttoN-
zorF, as containing a general guarantee of safety
to MARINFT. The ADVoCATC•GENERAL then
stated, that the Duke of WELUNGTos had de-
clared, by a letter under his own hand, that
he, did not intend to give any guarantee of
safety. The PRESIDRNT observed, that it was use-
less id prolong the discussion, and the hearing of
evidence proceeded. On Wednesday, however,
on the examination of the Count de tVoIiGNZOFF,
the sane question was resumed, Matti NET having
milted the Count whether, in his conference with
Loud KINNAIRD, the Count bad not given his
opinion that the letter of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON contained an actual guarantee of
safety• 'rue Count answered, that Lord KIN•
NAIRD had not !hewn him any letter from the
Duke of WELLINGTON, our had his Lordship asked
him whether IMARINET would or would not be
tree to return to Brussels ; the Count added,
that he knew the Mike of WEI.LJNGTON did not
wish to intctmeddle itt this affair, but to ltave
it to the French Government to adopt whatever
riteaores were thought .suit-tole. The next wit-
ness who was called considered the whole affair to
he the result of what he called an English in-
trigue in • the Netherlands against the French re-
fugees.' On the evidence being closed, the Advo-
cate-General was heard f,r the prosecution ;
11
CLAVEAU for CANTILLON, and M. DUNN for MA-
RINET. The Court then adjourned till Friday,
when the President was to sum up, and to put the
questions to the Jury.

In the Chamber of Peers on Thursday, the pro•
j,t respecting the transit through Alsace was pre-
sentcd by the President of the Council of Minis-
ters, and ordered to he printed, and referred to the
Bureaux.—The discussion was opened on the first
projet relative.to the Press, and after hearing three
speakers was closed, and the deliberation corn-
nitnced on the Articles. The first 7 trete adopted.
In the sth, the Duke de FITz-JAmps proposed to
insert before the words " against Public Morals,"
the words " against the Christian Religion." This
• Amendment was supported by the Viscount tie
NIoNTMoRaNCY, and opposed by the Baron de
BARENTS and the Duke de RocHEPovcAtn.r.—
. The discussion was adjourned till
The discns.,lon on the projet respecting the
Financial Accounts, in the Chamber of Deputies,

" PARIS, MAY 14.—The King, whose health
daily improves, is expected soon to resume his,
accustomed airings.

The Cardinal de Perigord, Archbishop of
Paris, was with the "King yesterday, in his Cabi-
net, for two hours. The assembly of Bishops, to
which more Prelates have been sunntioned, is to
meet again this day.

" The Countess of Gothiand (Queen of Sweden)
had yesterday a private audience of the King.
The pretended intelligence of the abdication
of the King of Sweden is a mystification.
