FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JUNE 29.
On Thursday list the Duke of Wellington waited
upon the King at the Thuilleries, with whom hehad
an interview of half an hour. His Grace, we are as-
sured, proceeds for England to take the Cheltenham
waters, and will return to Paris early in August.
Count Vaugirtaud, at Guadaloupe, annountes, by
a letter dated the sth of May, that Sir James Leith
had received orders to give up the island to the
French authorities, and that the ports were accor-
dingly opened to French vessels.
The Court of Revision has, by four voices against
one, rejected the appeal of General Bonnaire, and his
Aide de Camp, &Loon.
Yesterday came on before a Court-Martial, the
trial par aoniumare of Lieut.-General Unmet d'Erlos,
who commanded at Lille, in March, 1815. Ater
various documents and depositions had been read,
the Court unanimously declared the information null
and insufficient, and ordered one more complete to
be given in. It appeared that many documents,
which would have involved this General, as well as
many other criminals, were burnt, after the return
of Bonaparte to Paris in June, in the War-Office, by
order of Count Lnbau •

The Prevotal Court of Aix has capitally condem.'

parricide by poisoning his mother.
M. Grefuihe, a considerable landowner in the De-
partment of the Seine, has Om up to the StAte the
sum of 18,00 francs, being his quota of the loan of
1(X) milliens.

We learn from MN, that an innkeeper of the name
of Rallis has been sentenced to perpetual depottatim,
by the Assize Court of that town, for circulating a
most seditious libel against the King. This act of
rigour, says the Journal du Gard, has produced 0:e
best effect in the Department, and will prevent, *a
future, such indecent offences.

The Court was again occupied the whole day in
the oral examination of the Prisoners, according to
the practice of French jurisprudence. Very little of
any interest transpired.
The following was the answer of ToHeron, the en-
graver, when asked why he engaged in the consp;.
racy I was bred up in the Revolution ; I ki.,ne
nothing hut it. In my early age I was taught to de-
test this Government; but these first improsions were
effaced in my mind. I WAS exasperated by being de-
signated as a brigand in nay neighbourhood ; my
windows were even broken because I did not Wiwi-
nate. For the rest,
.I believed that the overthrow of
the Government would take place guile trappil?-y• as

We haye received the Paris Papers of Saturday
Ind Sunday. They contain the continuation of the
trial of the " Patriots of 1816." Their plot seems o
have been abundantly mischievous in its object, but
woefutly ail conducted : tart of the scheme (.1 those
ticitAbles was to blow up the Thuilleries with gun-
powder, a project which was not voted unanimously,
because, forsooth, " the Thuilleries was a beautiful
building 1" On the proposer being asked by a bro-
ther conspirator if he had no regard for the lives of
the Princes ? he replied, " We must kill all, except
two." Who these two were he did not mention, but
it would he a libel upon them to give their names.
From the character of their admirers, we have no
doubt. t!.at whether Princes or not, they were the
lost worthless inhabitants of the Palace.

In the proceedings of Saturday, the most enter-
fining episode possible was furnished. A poor Poet,
nutted Sounnos, the Laureate cf the troupe, on
being examined, amused his audience with the fol-
lowing unequivocal testimony of the kind of loyalty
which, we fear, is too common with all modern
French Poets:

Question.-44 Did you not compose and sing songs
in praise of the Usurper at the Cafe Montansier ?"
Answer.—" Yes, Sir. During three months of
1813 (March, April, May), I sung the Glory of the
French Soldiers. I also admired BONAPAUTIC for
some time : but we are never certain of thinking in
tie same way to-morrow as we do to-day. It I tnade
it the same period songs against the KING, it was to
Wain some employment under the Minister of Jas.
fie, and not with any bad intentions. Since the
Gag's return, I have not sung any couplets against
hims on the contrary, I am his most faithful subject."
The two cowardly assassins of the gallant Colonel
GORDON have been punished according to their s?n-
tence BONNAIRR, the principal, was publicly de-
graded from the Legion of Honour on the Parade,
previous to his imprisonment for life ; and Mirrox,
his willing executioner, was shot on the same day.
The fate of these wretches seems to have excited no
commiseration whatever; indeed the act for which
they suffered w.ss one almost too atrocious even for a
Bonapartist. The pitiful coward, now at St. Helena,
generally gave his victims something like a trial ; and
this mockery of justice had a corresponding effect on
the minds of these pusillanithous miscreants, who
change their loyalty and their religion as often as it
toles their purpose, and precisely of this complexion
sere the men who have deluged Europe with blood
for the last 25 years ! All, the crimes perpetrated by
Bosaranra, according to their logic, were per-
redly legal and justifiable because they were the acts
of a Sovereign ele
.1'4419. How different is the spirit
of that glorious Constitution, which virtually de
dotes, that when the Sovereign ceases to govern by
denies of right reason, humanity, and justice, he
kno longer the Sovereign, either de facto or de jure !
It is with heart-rending regret we learn, that the
Lac of FRANCE has taken into favour Marshal Su-
curl', better known throughout Christendom by the
andlation of the Butcher of Tarragona. This
bloated monster thought to subjugate Spain by a coup
"alai as he coolly termed i; in his dispich ; and
this bap de Digiht consisted in putting to death every
man, woman, and child, of one of the most populous
cities of the Peninsula!
The result is well known—the Spaniards were
ranee exasperated than 'ever. and the innocent blood
of Tottagona was avenged tenfold by tot rents of the
lipure and filthy admixture which flows in the veins
‘t modern Frenchmen. With such ruffians as SUCIIRT
'round it, we tremble for the stability of the Bourbon
'Stone, and the consequent stability of the peace of Eu-
4e. It was by taking the Naas and the.SOVI" and
111MASSMNAll and AUGERACS, to his arms, and dub-
-111 them with the title of his beloved cousins, that
the Frenzli King paved the fray for the disorders of
Ihreh, 1815, and brought his own life and the lives
`4 his family into jeopardy—to say nothing of the
I.ote of human life at Waterloo.
Ve would humbly teconstneusi to his Majesty,

indignation ; gi Yes, I do remember one—one dread-
ful crime now stares me in the faie—'Twas I who'

We trust that the allusion will come home whereit
ought. None of the infamous assassins and brigands
who visited Spain ought ever to be permitted to look
upon a virtuous 'and enlightened Sovereign' even as
a master.

PARIS, JUNE sti.
The Ez-Marechal de Camp Bonnaire, condemned'
by the First Council of War to be transported beyond
the Continental territory of the Kingdom, and to
degradation from the Legion of Honour, was taken
yesterday sr out o'clock in a carriage, escorted by
Bens d'arrnes, to the Place Vendome. Aner the
patade, the confirination of the seatenee pronounced
by the Council of Revision, was read to the criminil
and the formula of degradation from the Legion of
Honour, of which he was Member. Bonnaire stooped
I down, and in this attitude, the Duke de Mail*, Pie-
sident of the Council of War, said to him In the
King's name, I
:declare that you have forfeited your
honour, and that you have.ceased to be a Member of
the Legion of Honour."
The Ex-Lieutenant Mieton, Aide-de-camp to Ge
neral Bonnaire, was conducted at three o'clock to the
Plaine de Grenelle. When he arrives there, he fell
on his knees, and he was immediately shot by a com-
pany of veterans. He had no confessor.
A shower of hail destroyed, on the 10th of June,
on the left bank of the Danube, near Munich, in Ba-
varia, all the hopes of the agricultarist for about ten
leagues. In the night between the 15th and 16th,
there was in the environs of Bamberg so terrible a
fall of rain, that the fields belonging to seventeen
villages were entirely laid waste. Hundreds of cattle
perished, several houses were carried away by the tor-
rents from the mountains, and fifteen individuals lost
their lives.

The Prussian Government has assigned to the
French regicides and exiles, comprehended in the Or
donnance of the 21th July, one of the following pro.
vinces, at their option : vie. Silrsia, Ponser.iiii.i, the
111srche of Brandenburg!), and the country of Mag.
deburgh.

The German Papers contain the following articles
relative to the Jesuit► and the plague at Corfu:

SOLEURE, JUNE LI.
In the Sitting of our Great Council to-day, a mint
important subject was brought forward, viz. the re.
introduction of the Jesuits.. The Suprems.,94l.
however, declared, to the general jny and satiifiktion
°fall sensible people, that a Resolittion of the former
Government, of the year 18(5, of which the (avow ers
of the Jesuits wanted to take advantage, it null, and
that the worthy men who have hitherto been Protes-
tors in the College are to receive the thanks of the
Government and the country ; that they are to he
quite at ease respecting their future support, as the
Government of the country will, with GOD'S help,
continue to provide for it. To this Resolution was
added, that no proposal for the introduction of the
Jesuiti shall ever be made at any future period.
