The French Papers of Monday contain no political
intelligence of importance. The Jontnal des Dein&
does not copy the waste paper Decree of FiIiDINAND
VII. respecting South Arne' ica. A considerable por-
tion of that Journal is occupied with statements of thel
facts of an affair which was to come on before the Paris
Court of Assize, involving an alleged plot against the,
State. The indictment is drawn up against seven indi.";
viduals, whose names are as follows: Jean-Samuel-Sao--1
Auaire Souligne, Gaspard Lavocat, Charles Cotiderti
Jacques Alathian, Theophile Ilalland, Francoise Chum*,
and Caroline Julie Monceau Chauvet, his wife. Lavocat,
Coudert, and Mathieu, are ci devant subaltern Officers ;1
Balland is a student of law, arid Chauvet a dyer, at Sae
-
jour. The first, Sauquaire-Souligne, who is deseiihed as
the soul of the plot, had been tried on a similar chase in
1821, and acquitted. His trial is said only to have ex-
'asperated his hatred to the Government, and hissinn
quittal to have fisrnished him with the opportunity of
contriving new plots for Sit; overthrow. Accordingly,
on the approach of the Spanish war, and while the
French armies were preparing to pass the Pyrennees,
Souligne is charged with having, ,44 in correspondence
with the Revolutionary Spaniatds, the Radicals of Eng,
land, and the French refugees, at London," arranged a
conspiracy .for overthrowing the Government of his
country. The indictment then proceeds to connect
the names of Mr. BOWRING and the Portuguese Am-
bassador at Paris, with the intrigues of Souligne.—
At the moment of his embarking for Lisbon, this
,Ambassador, it is said, was surprised- in posses ion of
articles written by the hand of Sauquaire Souligne.—
These writings, seized at Havre, paint their author as
incessantly occupied with enlistMents, subscriptions, and
even plans of campaigns. Nothing of this kind, how-
ever, -is given in the indictment, which, after declaring'.
that it would be tedious to quote all the calumnies and
infamous abuse heaped on the Bo uneoxs in these rape's, I
satisfies itself with the quotation of some unimportant
passages,for the purpose evidently of giving prominence'
to the name of Mr. BowftiNG, and the affair of the,
Fanny. We have afterwards extracts %fr:,m Souligne's
correspondence with Chauvet (who had beea implicated
in the affair of BEttroa), on account of the expedition of
the conspirators into Spain, and of attempts made to
distribute incendiary proclamations in France. After
some further statements respecting the correspondenCe
and intrigues of the accused, the indictment concludes
by declaring that Souligne is accused of carrying-arms
against his country, and the rest as being his accomplices.
None of the accused are apprehended, but Mad. Chau-
vet. They will, of course,' betondetuned, par contumace.

The Clyde arrived in our river yesterday from De-
merara, which island she Left 27th of November, and
consequently brings the latest news from that place.—
By her we are glad to learn that everything was quiet
there, but Martial-law was still in fotce. It was the
24th of that month on which the resuk of Srstin's
trial was to be known, but it still continued unknown
on the 26th. General opinion consigned him to the
ndi of the executioner, but that some surmise had
got abroad, of them being an apprehension that the
extreme possikhavest of ihs law in this case, combined
with the late violent Asti-Missionary proceedings at
Barbados, might injure-the cause of the Colonists in
the mother country. Another conjecture Was ha-
zarded, that the Goveroor fiad contrived to get the
trial spun out, till he should be instructed from home
bow-be was to ant, in the event of the sentence being
capital.—Glasgew Herald, Jan. 12.
