PARIS, JANUARY 3.
Criminal plots have been batched in the garrison.
of Belfort. The conspiracy was to take effect on the
2d of January, and the three-coloured cockade was
to be mounted. The King's Lieutenant having re-
ceived information of the design, drew out, under
arms, the battalion of the 29th regiment of the line,
which forms the garrison of the place, and proceeded
immediately to the barracks to arrest an Adjutant
Sub-Officer, who was pointed out as one of the
principal agents of this criminal intrigue. Brice, Pe-
• gulu, Desbordes, and Delacombe, who figured in
the conspiracy of the 19th of August, 1820, were
also arrested at the moment when they commenced
their flight from the town. The guarding of these
tour prisoners was provisionally entrusted to the Offi-
cer who commanded the neighbouring post; but
soon after this Officer himself fled along with his pri-
soners. Three other Officers have also disappeared.
One of the individuals arrested was the bearer of
five packets of canoodles. On arriving at one of the
spares of the town, the Kirtg's Lieutenant fell in
with a numerous group, which dispersed on his ap-
proach, but from the midst of which a pistol-shdt
was fired, which struck him in the breast. The cross
of St. Louis with which this Officer was decorated
resisted the effect of the ball, and it is hoped that
the wound will not be mortal. The soldiers have
manifested the greatest indignation. Order was com-
pletely restored long before the departure of the cou-
rier. The General commanding the Department, the
Attorney-General, and the Captain of Gendarmerie,
repaired without loss of time to Belfort.—Moniteur.
An epidemic malady appeared about the 18th of
December last at the Royal Military School of St.
Cyr. The Lieutenant-General Commandant of the
Sckool caused the most assiduous attention to be paid
to the young patients by the Medical Officers of the
establishment. He also sent for M. Herminier, first
Physician of La Charite, and consulting Physician
of the school, and M. Bourdois, Physician to the En-
fans de France, who approved the treatment which
had previously been followed.
As soon as the Minister of War was made ac-
quainted with what had occurred at St. Cyr, his Ex-
cellency sent thither the Baron Desgenettes, Inspec-
tor-General of the Service of Health, who, in concert
with M. Lemazurier, Physician of the school, visited
the sick of the establishment with the mast scrupu-
lous attention.
It results from the reports made to the Minister of
War, that the malady ss hich prevails in the Military
School is an inflammatory fever, combined in some
individuals with an ataxic character. It is in no
respect contagious.
Professional men have recognized that this epidemy
has been occasioned by the humid and warm tempe-
rature of the atmosphere, the continuance of south-
west winds, and the extraordinary and almost un-
heard:of depression of the barometer during several
days. The aliments, the beverages, the regimen, and
the whole management of the house, were found to
be conformable to the strictest rules of health.
It is to be presumed that the epidemic will cease
as soon as the weather becomes cold and dry. The
present season gives reason to hope that the intensity
of the malady will progressively diminish.
Some speculators have to-day circulated the report,
that a banking-house had received from Vienna, by
an accelerated conveyance, the assurance that the
Porte had finally accepted the Russian ultimatum;
but this report may have no other foundation than
an Exchane trick. The latest letters from Odessa,
a town in the Russian Empire, concur in stating pre-
cisely the contrary.
FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 31.
An estafette, art ived here from Vienna, announces
that a courier, dispatched on the 13th of December
from Constantinople, had brought intelligence there
that the Porte had at last accepted the Russian ulti-
matum, with some slight modifications, the decision
of which was left by the Ottoman Government to
the judgment of Austria. The Porte, besides,demands
that Austria, France, England, and Russia, shall be
guarantees of the treaty. Since this news has become
known the funds have continued to rise.
It is said that tumultuous scenes have again taken
*lace at Giesen, between the students and the dis-
banded soldiers of die regiment which was formerly
in garrison in that town, and is now at Worms.—
These tumults have even been sanguinary, and have
given occasion to an inquiry.
ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
Letters from Vienna, written by persons worthy of
credit, and dated the 24th, contain the following pas.
sage :-44 Though the metallics experienced some de.
pression to-day, well-informed persons pretend that
there is not the least probability of war.'
The latter part of this news is confirmed by an
estafette arrived to-day from Vienna. The estafette
left that city on the 25th at midnight, and brought
a letter, of which the following are the contents :
Virloa, D. 23, MIDNIGHT.
" A courier arrived to-day has brought the impor-
tant intelligence tbat the Turkish Ministry has ac-
cepted the ultimatum of Russia. This news spread
with incredible rapidity, and, notwithstanding the
solemn estival of this day, the public funds have had
a consider able rise. In the evening it was added that
the Grand Seignior accepted the ultimatum on the
19th of December. More precise details ss ill pro-
bably be received to-morrow."
The above news has produced a great sensation in
the commercial world here, and the public funds have
risen considerably. There are, however, many per-
sons, among whom are some men of consequence,
who put Co faith in the intelligence. A few days
more, and we shall know whether the statement is true
or not.—Moniteur,from the Frankfort Journal.
