The French Papers of Thursday and Friday have
reached us. They bring the •conclusion of the trial

of the conspirators of La Rochelle. This mockery
of justice terminated on Thursday, when four indi-
viduals, Dories, Goubin, Ponder, and Raoulx, were
found guilty of having participated in a plot, and
cohsequently received sentence of death. Two others,
Henon and Goupillon, had also been found guilty,
but the former only by a majority of seven to five,
in which case the Judges have a right to join the mi-

nority, and to pronounce a verdict of acquittal. They
exercised this right in behalf of Henan, and Goupil-
lon was spared on account of his having turned King's
evidence. Three were condemned to five years' im-

prisonment, one to three, and three to two, for not
having revealed the existence of the plot, and twelve
acquitted. The fate of those sentenced to death seems
to have excited an extraordinary interest. Several
Advocates embraced and wept over them in the open
Court. The eldest of these convicts is only twenty-
seven year; of age.
From the nature of the evidence produced in the
course of the trial, no capital conviction had been
anticipated; but a' circumstance happened on the
very day on which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL was to
make his reply, which probably effected a great al-
teration in the minds of the Jury. Each Juryman
received letters containing a printed list of the Jury,
with these words in handwriting at the bottom—
" Blood wit have blood." Their wives received simi-
lar letters, all of which were sent by the post. The
ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not fail to avail himself of
this circumstance, to argue that it was proof positive
of the existence of an immense coalition and conspi-

racy. M. BARTER, the Chief Advocate for the ac-
cused, expressed the deep indignation which they felt
at the iniquitous manoeuvre thus planned for their
ruin; And declared that nothing but a hostile hand
could have endeavoured to revolphe Jury against
them. On the part of the accused he therefore
earnestly solicited the Court to take evet y possible
measure to discover and punish the authors of these
letters.—The Court complied with the joint request
of the ATTORNEY•GENERAL and the accused, that the
letters should be deposited in the hands of justice.—
But the inquiry, if it ever comes, will come too late.
The trial of General BERTON and his accomplices

proceeds ; forty-nine more witnesses have been heard,
making in all 148 ; but the details have no interest,
and are scarcely intelligible. The ATTORNEY-GE-
NERAL was to address the Jury on the evidence on
the sth. The three following days were expected to
be occupied by the defence. The ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL was to reply this day ; the PRECIDENT would,
probably, take a view of the whole case to-morrow,
and Wednesday next was considered as the day on
which the verdict of the Jury would be returned.
One of these Papers, the Constitutionnel, affords
an instance of the rigour with which persons con-
victed of political offences are now treated in France.
It relates to the persons foued guilty of the Belfort
Conspiracy, as it is called—and who, though con-
demned only to correctional punishment, were put
into heavy chains, in which they were to be con-
ducted to their respective places of detention.
Although we are still without any further confirma-
tion as to the decisive battles said to have taken place
in Greece, yet the French Papers continue partially
to corroborate the original report that the Turks had
been totally defeated. 'The conflagration of Jassy, in
Moldavia, is fully confirmed. The appointment of
a new Hospodar, and the apparent settlement of all
existing differences, had induced many of the Boyards
to return to their possessions in that principality;
trade revived, and all announced peace and pro-
sperity, when, in the night of the 10th of August, the
streets suddenly resounded with furious yells, and
every house was forced open and plundered by the
Janissaries, who had marched back unknown to the
inhabitants. In a short time they proceeded from
pillage, and all its concomitant excesses, to wanton
destruction, and the town presented one entire blaze.
" At the departure of the Courier," says an ac-
count dated from Suczawa, on the Moldavian fron-
tier, " the number of houses destroyed by the confla-
gration was estimated at twenty thousand ! It was
feared that those which had hitherto escaped would
share the same fate. This intelligence is unfortunately
official, and we expect more detailed particulars every
moment. Till then we are lost in conjectures respect-
ing so surprising and so deplorable a catastrophe."
These Papers announce, that the Viscount de CUA.-
TEAUBRIAND is expected at Paris forthwith, on his
way to Verona, and that the Emperor ALEXANDER
left St. Petersburgh on the 16th of last month, and is
expected to be absent from his dominions six months.
The Constitutionnei says—" We are assured that
Sir W. A'CoURT, the new English Ambassador to
the Court of Madrid, is specially commissioned to
to the Spanish Government, that, far from
contributing even by wishes to the success of the affair
