It is reported that ten thousand troops are to be
sent out immediately to India, and that ships are al-
ready engaged for that purpose.

The French Papers of Saturday last, contain an ar-
ticle from Vienna, through the medium of the Frank-
fort journals, which states, that the Porte had ac•
cepted the ultimatum of Russia on the 19th of De-
cember. There is also a collateral report of Persia
having made peace with the Porte, which gives strong
cause to suspect that both are mere stock-jobbing ru- ,
mours. The Russian ultimatum contained, demands
sufficiently exorbitant; but unless the powers of Eng-
land and France have interfered they were not large
enough to satisfy the longing appetite of the Emperor
of RUSSIA, which nothing short of Constantinople
can appease for any length of time.
Although the first Legislative measure of the new
French Ministry has been such as to excite just suspi-
cions, yet we trust that they are not now creating
" extraordinary circumstances" as an apology for the
severity of their measures, which, as they were told
in the French Chamber, they could always do;
and yet in the few weeks this Ministry has been
in authority, two conspiracies against the Govern-
ment are pretended to have been discovered.--
The first was that notable project of a few school-boys
at Saumur, who had laid the plan of taking the castle
by a coup-de-twain, and regenerating France, for
the fiftieth time.' This insurrection, however, was
put down by the more loyal part of the school,
who seized their rebellious compeers, and, instead of
having them well flogged, gave them in charge to a
Military Commission.
A new plot is now stated to have been discovered
at Belfort, which would, had it not been crushed in
the bud, have ripened into maturity on the 2d of
January, when the tri-coloured cockade was to have
been hoisted, and what more done we know not.—
Four of the principal conspirators, who are said to
have been implicated in former plots, have been
arrested.

Now these plots are either real or fictitious : if
they are real, they give but a •ery unfavourable idea
of the stability of a Governmeat, which any man,
destitute of both rank add influence, thinks he may
overturn if he only raises the standard of revolt. If
they are fictitious, no language can be strong enough
for the reprobation of those men who would excite
plots as a pretext for arming themselves with a ty-
ranny which no country, making the slightest pre-
tensions to freedom, will tolerate.

The French Papers contain long accounts of the
re•consecration of the Church of St. Genevieve,which,
during the Revolution, had been converted into the
Pantheon," and employed as a cemetery for the
remains of eminent men. This ceremony took place
on Thursday last. Tile Moniteur states, that the Mass
in Musique,which was celebratcd by the Aacatatusor.
