FRERCII PAPERS.,

Last night the Paris Paws. .of Sundiy arrived,
and ab-out Otani this day those of Monday reached
as. We subjoin the following ',ducts':
• PARS% DECEMBER 1.
The King is still confined by the gout. but his
Majesty continues to do business every day aith his
Ministers, and receive persons at Court.
There was no Pub ie Sitting yesterday of The
Chamber of Deputies. Some of the Bureaux have
commenced the examination of the Election Projet.
The King of Spain has invited the Courts of Sar-
dinia and Naples, the'King of the Netherlands, the
Courts of Petereburgh, Copenhagen, and Stockholm,
to accede to the Defensive Treaty of Alliance against
the Barbary Settee.
The Court of Assizes of Versailles has be just
occupied with two cases of murder. The illness of
one of the jury occasioned one of the trials to be re•
terred to next Session. The culprit, in the other
case, fell down deed while his sentence was reading
to him. This m'sereble being had wished to appro•
priate to himself the 'succession of a father-in-law,
who had overw÷elmed him with berefits. One
evening he penetrated into the house of the old Gen.
tleman, who was seated near the fire ; he struck him
a blow, so violent, that he fell under the grate and
expired. Immediately the monster collected various
combustibles, and endeavoured to conceal, under the
ashes of the pile, the body of his v;ctim : but scarcely
had lie left the house when the fire went out, and next
morning the dead body of the old man was disco-
vered. The unnatural son-in-law had the effrontery
to present himself : he raised the dead body. placed
it in such a way as to make only one half of the face
visible, and said that the old man had died of a rup.
Lured blood vessel. The officers of justice, however.
soon arrived, replaced the body in its first position,
and perceived a frightful wound—suspicion arose—
the son-indaw was arrested, and soon the spots of
blood with which his clothes were stained appeared ;
the effects stolen were found upon him ; his perturbed
countenance, his despair and remorse, left no longer
to justice any dnubt as to the kind of death he had
suffered, and the culpability of the son-in law. He
had, as we have said above, been condemned to death.
The day for the triel of General Decaen, new in
the prison of the Abbaye, and that of Savory, now
in Egypt, is not yet fixed.
Great activity has recommenced in the Cornmer-
c4l relations between the United States and the King-
dom of Naples since the mission of Mr. Phikney, who
has obtained all the satisfaction which circumstances
admitted of the United States nbtaining from the So-
vereign of the Two Sicilies. Since that period, seve-
ral American vessels have taken on board in Sicily
the produce of the conetry. They speak' of a treble
duty being imposed on the merchendize exported
from the Kingdom of Naples by English ships. This
measure has for its o!sj pct the revival of the maritime
commerce of the N:alinlitans.
The French Ale snacks for 1817 announce three
<_,xtreordinary WO tides: namely, on the sth of
A4sril, 11th October, and 9th November, paiticu-
larly if high winds prevail.
The same publications alsq give the following
mimes table of the population of Paris for 1815 :
Of 20,000 children (as nearly as possible) born every
year in Paris, 'lO,OOO only attain the age of 20, and
6800 attain the age of 45. One fourth of the children
born die within the first year, and one-third never
attain two years of age. We are sorry to learn, that
notwithstanding all the boasted efforts of the French
Government in support of Vaccination, deaths by
Small Pox form a formidable item in thit Bill of
Mortality. The Calculator proceeds to draw the
inference, that if the whole population of France be
29 millions, the middle term of human beings who
attain the age of 20 years is 251,690.
There will be created a French Literary Chair in
each of the Universities which are established is the
Netherlands.

PARIS, DECEMBER 2.

Yesterday, being SOnday, several presentationi to
his Majesty took place.
It is said that Camille-Jordan has been called by
his Majesty to the Council of State, and that M.
Benoit has ceased to form part of the same body. •
One Spenler, a farrier's journeyman, has been con-
demned to two years imprisoliment and to five years
surveillance, for announcing seditious and lahe in-
telligence. In the month of August last, being in a
public-house, he propagated the orlon alarming news.
His manners rendered him suspected by the land-lord
who denotinced him to Counts A. and It. It was
agreed to decoy him to the Nublic-house again, when
Count R. announced himself as an Officer of the
Ex-Guards.
Count A. concealed himself to hear what passed ;
Spenler then praibed the pretended ex-officer for not
joining the Royal Guards, announced to him a.ipeeify
change,' knd promised him Ai: protection (forsooth l ).1

PIT-; LOTS' .

[l'Vallittt 'PARTICULARS.]
Tie incia active and extensive inquiry has—been
instituted into the (night rid ' nature of those prg
endings, which on Monday last disgraced and
alarmed this Treat Metropolis.
We steel in our Paper of yesterday th the 01 r
I.Vatron was examined at the Office of the Secretary of
State. This investigation lasted ne:uly two floors,
and we • are now enabled to state, that, although Go-
vvrnment are in possession of s•;ntt important papers,
nothing of a treasonable nature, beyond the fact ot
his being engaged with the 44 Soafields Committee.,"
and his own loose declaratioas. that 44 the e WAS a
plot, but it was too precipitately acted upon," ha,,
as yet, been produced arainst
From the testimony of several respectable indivi-
duals, who witnessed the cooduct pursued by the
younger Watson (not yet apprehended) on tvloilday,
!t appears that this misguided character had drank
freely of liquor in the morning, and had occ.o.ionally,
during the progress of the :Mts. increased his mad-
ness and folly by inebriety.
The Loan Melton, wh not exertions, united with
the other Nlagistrates, and the" Secretary of State,
are unceasi:lg, went on Tuesday evening to the resi-
dence of Thttnas Preston, one of the avowed Secreta-
ries to the Spatields Meeting. This was a miserable
dwelling in Greystoke-place, Fetter-lane, and his'
Lordship finding the Secretary at home, entered into
conversation with him upon the subject of the riots.
Proem did nor hesitate to answer all the interroga-
tories put to him most freely, and the Lone MAtitint
feeling satisfied from his conduct, that he was not
likely to elope, obtained his promise that he would
attend at the Mansion-house, or elsewhere, it called
upon—he was not, there'd., taken into custody, as
was erroneously stated last evening.
Yesterday the LORD MA Ton. wishing to obtain,
from Preston such information as lie might be inclined
to communicate, dispatched Brand, the Marshalman,
to his residence, wh :a the former immediately ac-
companied him to the Mansion-house. Here an in-
vestigation took place, which continued for nearly •
two hours, and in the course of which Preston ex-
pressed his sentiments with apparent candour, and
without the slightest agitation. He spoke also in a
tone of no little consequence, ana declared his readi-
ness to meet any man in the community, upon the
subject in which he was involved, as it was 44 wholly
constitutional."
The substance of all he related is accurately this:
That a plan of insurrection was formed; that it was
as general as it was good, but that precipitancy had
injured its progress, though it had not defeated its
object. The plan, he asserted, must :WI be carried
into effect—it was too powerful to be resisted when
properly undertaken. and the only resource left to
Govtriurent, in older to its being averted,. was, by
the PRINCE REGENT answering the Petition of the
People, :aid the immediate adoption of Parliamentary
Reform. 44 'the soldiers," he adde.t, 44 were not
firm ;" their friends were starving, but they having-a
provision, forgot their 'pledge and duty. He ac.
knowledged his connection to the fullest extent with
the Spafields Meetings, to which he was a joint Se-
cretaty. He knew the two Wetsons, and had fre
quently acted with them upon the Committees, and,
various other occasions. lie denied having taken the
slightest past in the riotous proceedings ot Monday,
and deprecated in the strongest manner the horrid
system of taking away the lie of a fellow creature.
He frequently repeated, that the plan was Constitu-
tional, and delivered the whole ot his account in the
most undisguised and enthusiastic manner.
The whole' of his information has been transcribed
by Mr. Holster, the Chief Clerk, and forwarded to
the Office of the Secretary of State.
We stated in our Paper of yesterday that John Cash-
more, a sailor, and one of the rioters apprehended at
the Exchange on Monday, with a musket in his pos-,
session, accounted to the LORD MAYOR, upon his
examination. as though he had been standing at the,
corner of St. Paul's Church-yard, when a stranger
.put a musket into his hand, and requested him to
follow. The LORD MAYOR viewing this account as
fabricated, had recourse to the following evidence,
which he -timely obtained upon his return yesterday
from the 0.14) Bailey to the Mansion House :
Jam, Pas • that he was a sweeper at the
corner of St. Paul's Church-yard, and that he had
lost his leg in the service of his country about six
years ago ;he was a native of Yorkshire. On Mon-
day last he was 4raployed, as usual, sweeping the
cross way; but the increase of passengers was so
great, that he was prevented the exercise of his of.
lice. He remembered, about noon, seeing three or
fcur sailors together, and afterwards saw a great
body of all descriptions issuing from Newgate-street,
where, upon their 'entrance, they discharged s vol-
ley of fire-arms. Some of the persons he previously
saw went down Paternoster-row, and some passed
•through St. Paul's Church-yard ; but they eventually
joined, and again crossed into Newgate•street, down
Cheapside, &c. During the whole of the time while
the witness made his observations, he did not perceive
a seaman stand at the corner, nor did such a circum-
stance occur :new of one man coming up to ano-
ther and placing in Ms hand a musket.
This witness was ordered to appear again at 'the
Mansion House this day.
A later was received by the Loan MAYOR from
the Magistrates of Union Hall Police Office, stating,
that May and GtOf, the Officers, had apprehended
one of the Rioters in the Borough, on Monday, and
that they conceived the case should be investigated
by his Lordship.
Richard Gamble, a young man, about seventeen
years of age, was accordingly put to the Bar.
John Goff deposed, that he was an Officer; and
on Monday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon,
he was passing through Queen-street, in the parish of
St. Saviour's. Southwark, when he saw the prisoner
walking along with a musket. The sight of the
latter did slot so much attract his attention, as the
appearance of the prisoner's face, which was evidently
blackened and disfigured. Witness stopped him, and
inquired where he got the musket ? when the priso-
ner replied, he had brought it from Skinner-street.—
It was perfectly new, loaded with powder only, but,
there was a considerable wadding found beneath the
charge. From the appearance of the pan
, it seeruesi
to have been recently discharged. It had upon it the
name of Mr. Beckwith.
Here the Lona *Ton remarked that the prisoner

was extremely Like the individual who had levelled
the pied at Min. at the Exchange, on Monday ; and
farther ached, that the Case was a strong one, inas-

prisoner now acknowledged being in Skinner.
street, but said he had picked upThe musket.
Abloinam Samuel, at person who had voluntarily
enrolled himself as a con,table, on Monday, stated, i
that ire had se: n the pi isaner pass the talaasiorohouse
with the party who carried the flag : at the Eachange
witness made an attempt to seize the musket which'
the prisoner held, but was prevented by about six of
his companions ; he, however, disarmed one, and
lodged the piece in an adjoining Coffee-house. The
prisoner and his companions fled. He was positiyv
as to his person.
The prisoner Ming called upon to account far his
conduct, said, that i.e was in Skinner street cn the day
in q ta..tion, when he saw three or four pieces et inns-
ketry lie upon the ground, one of their he pecked
up, upon seeitig which, one of the mob exclaimed—
" lon ought to be shot !" The pr;soeer also ac-
knowledged that he passed the Exchange.
The LORD MAYOR ob.ervetl, he woeld not swear
to his person ; but he had little elontit of having seen
him snaring those who had tired up in hon and the
officers in Sweeting's-alley on Monday last.
The prisoner now denied h aloeg been there, mot
said he had gone home along Blacktriars.briiv. " I
went, it is true, my Lord." continued the pi ironer,'
" to Spafields in the morning, to hear a speech. and
'I was not long there until a tall young man, dressed
in a light great coat, got into a cart, and addressed
the people. Soon after the speaker jumped down,
colours were hoisted, and I followed the crowd."
" Young man," said his Lordship; " you stand in
a very perilous situation. You state that you picked
up the musket found in your possession ; and though
it is evidently new, and had not been used, it was
found loaded in your possession, while the pan also
bears evident marks •of recent use. The lite of an
individual, it is feared, will be sacrificed to the abo-
minable outrage which occurred in the quarter where
you confess you had been, and it is for you to account
satisfactorily for the possession of the mischievous
piece found in your custody."
The prisoner, who stated himself to be a shoemaker,
was then remanded for a farther examination.
Numerous weapons of all descriptions are hourly
brought into throMansion House, Ind lying in re-
mote corners, or seized by spirited individuals from
the rioters on Monday. F. Kinnersley, the Officer
of Aldgate, has lodged about forty stand of arms,
taken from the mob in the Minories, where so much
depredation was unfortunately committed.
Yesterday morning, a number of guns, pistols,
swords, and other weapons, were found in a dunghill
in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch ; and the LoKD
MAYOR has received private information of the con-1
veyance of a large quantity in the ditection of White-
drape!, Mdeend, &c. Many of those found and taken
bear the mask of Mr. Beckwilo and some are of the
most costly description.
In our Paper et yesterday we omitted to state that
a desperate attack was made upon tto premises of
Mr. Wilson, in the Miuoties, where the lodgment of
arms and ammunition was immense. Fortunately,
the mob were detested in their purpose, chiefly by
theieown blunderhig and violence, and thus the most
fatal conaequences were averted.
We should also have added, in the forma part of
this statement, that Preston acknowledges his ac-
quaintance with Hoofer, the man ulcers at the Ex-
change by Sir JAMES Saw.
HOOper, upon his examination on Tuesday, said,.
that previous to the meeting on Monday, he had slept
for several niy,,los at the Brown Bear, in Bow-street,
Covent Garden. The purpose may easily be con-
jectured.
The most active communications are kept up be-
•tween the Loan MAYOR. the Bow-street Magistrates,
and the Secretary of State.
Throughout the Metropolis, yesterday, all was uni-,
form peace and good order.
. Three of the misguided men who joined in the
riots in the City on Monday last, were brought to
the London Hospital, each desperately wounded iu
the hand. The first that arrived was brought in a
.hacknercoach, and was immediately taken into the
surgery, where, on examination, his hand was found
dreadfully lacerated, and it was thought it would be
necessary he • should Ohdergo amputation. , :The:
wound being dressed, he was questioned respect*
the manner he received it, when he ansvirredr, that
on Monday morning he provided himplf• *nth a
pistol, which he loaded, conceiving it proper for,
every person to be armed In his own inafence, from
the peculiar circumstances of the to ; that he
joined the mob in Spa-fields, and afterwards proceed-
ed with a portion of them through the City, where
be found it necessary to discharge ,his pistol, which,
burst, and injured his hand to that degree. Before
further inquiry could be made be contrived to escape,
and has not since been heard of.
The next brought in gave his name John Roberts.
On being questioned as to how he received his
wound, be replied that he was in the mob, not think-
ing any harm could possibly result to him, but when
they came to 'lower-hill; a fellow desired him to
push forward and he should be provided with a mus-
ket ; he did so, being influenced by the impulse of
the moment, but reflecting on the • impropriety of
taking arms in such a manner; he flinched back-
wards; at this moment he received a cut of a sabre
across the palm of . his hand, he could not say who.
ther from a soldier or from one of the rabble.. This
man was immediately put to bed. and is considered
in a dangerous state.
The third person brought in gave his name J.hn
Reily. The account he gave was, that be having
promiscuously joined the mob, not dreaming of any
danger, but merely out of curiosity, proceeded with'
them as far as the India House, where some of them
fired many shots, and one fellow's musket, *hick
was close to him, burst, and a splinter struck him is
the wrist; that he was not at all implicated in any
tumult, but merely a spectator. The conjecture,
howeser, is, that it was 'his gun which bursted...-.
Several of the Police Officers attended to see the two
last persons, who are intended to be examined before
the Magistrate when 'their health will permit, and
strict search is making after the man who escaped.
Much as the pot& sympathy has been wicked by

the distressing ease of Mr. Platt, yet there are varien.
particulars immediately and collaterally conntetini
with it which will, perhaps, turn out to be mere in
portant than the wound itself. Some of these cir•
comstences have appealed in evidence before Sir N.
CONANT, who has reported them to Goirernment.--
The hallowing may be relied on :
Mr, Beckwitles shopmen state, that the man who
attempted to assassinate Mr. Plan woe in the first
instance accompenied by five comrades: when he
:aliened the door and denianded arms, he had not the
pistol concealei with which he shot Mr. Platt, but
held it openly in his hand. Mr. Platt, wile had'
finished his bu,iness at Mr. Beckwith's, was goittee•
•out of the door, when the villain entered and called
Asst " Aries, arms !" Mr. Platt, in a conciliatory
mintier, laid his hand on the man's shoulder, and
reminded hie) that he was about to do a great deli
of misceief ; and was pro.ieeding to use further pet.'

weapon, and &ed. Mr. Platt was placed in a chair,
and addressoof hi, sseao,e assailant, ohs... Eye—
d" You have shot in-, and 1 W3S no enemy of yours."
I ":Then." replied th . m so, o I am sorry cur it."
Mr. Plitt now le.,ircr.l .hit a surgeon might be sent
for to examitor lids w tend, u hen the assassin stepped
forward and :hived him that he was a professional
max, and would wittingly attend to him s &little ion•
mediately began tti prepare' for the eziminatina of
me wouad in a wiy that left no doubt on the minds
of those present that whit be had said was perfectly
correct. Mr. Platt, however, declined his attentions;
and was taken up o Ors till a thrryervi of eminence
was sent for. A 1:(: we may as well state what our
Readers will be ililpiq ro learn; that though the ball
has obi yet been ex ratted, Mr. Pratt is not worse,
nor considered to be in immediate danger. }le,
however, suffers notch paid, which vrill easily he
imagined, when it is stated, that the ball, which
perforated two coats, his waistcoat, and several folds
of paper in his waistcoat pocket, carried with it all
these substances into his boiy.
The shopmen lest no tine! in seizing the murderer;
who made no resistance. His comrades had tied ..tt
the first report of the pistol, under the iinpression, as
it is supposed, that their leader himself had bees shot.
A beadle ot the name of Warrels was at hand, and
the prisoner was committed into his custody. His
pocket book and various papers were taken from hint.
Amongst the latter was a copy of a circular letter,
calling for subscriptions. There were other scraps
of paper, with the mimes of the Treasurer and Secre.
tery of the Spafields Sitiety. While the shopmen
were thus employed in this useful investigatioa, the
con.table was not equally prudent in the execution, of
his duty : instead ot confining the assassin to some
close apartment, he safsered him to range hom one
Mom to another. Meantime that portion of the mob
which surrounded the Hag carne up. and having been
apprized of the detenioin of their leader on acc..tiet .1
shooting Mr. Plan, they loudly demanded his libera-
tion. One of 111 e shopmen answered, 'hat in the scat
the man had escaped, and WAS not en the premises.-e
This well intentioned answer pacified the not.= for
the nioinent, and they had actually mined away,
and sere proceeding t; the Royal Exchange, when
the be idle allowed Llsi pi isuaer to appioazh the win-
dow, and piesent himself to the view et his friend :
the mob became liiricus—the hoose aid its c:nitents
were denounced for Jeseructioa —and the murderer
was immediately, and ot necessity 'restored to hie
liberty. • The mob, however, were not contented
with this triumph, but listened with greedy attention
to the suggestions of a ruffian, in 'the garb of a
brewer's servant, who called upen them to destroy
the property -around. them. The • windows were in-
stantly demolished, and all fireoirms• in the wingews
arid shop were tarred eff. The assassin, feeling him-
self secure among these desperate plunderers, thoueht
proper to .give a pr .of of hi's c'lolners and courage
oetore he left this scene of murder and devest-tiotv.
He aecordingli took up a brace of pistols. (which
were about ten inches long in the barite), aea •tteis
loaded them with great cafe and deliberetionee-
His comrades followed this heroic exettpl?, and load-
ed their pieces with powder. and with whatever ma-
terials suited their purpose. One of the shopmen
tired with this disgusting exhibition, and wishing to
rid his master's premises of inch dangerous ruffians,
mixed among the rabble, and immediately called out,
ui.known to them—" Now, my lads, we have plenty
of guns, let us to the Tower." This device sue-
ceeeed, and this ferocious rabble went in quest of
further plunder, and breathing other massacres. .
•eeit is very satisfactory to find, that, while the out-
rages of Monday were doubtless checked by lie com-
mendable usejmade otthe military, the tiorets wire
in almost evilly instance overcome by the civil force
alone. The conduct of the Loan MAYOR and of. Sir
Janus SHAW was admirable...
In the accounts hitherto published, the occurrences
in the /vlinories were too hastily passed over. About
halt-pest five on Monday, the mu') pruceeded al:r;
Leadenhall.street into Aldgate, whet e a party of ttir
Ist Life Guards, under Lieutenant Toter, came-up,
upon which the snob. many of whom were armed,
stoppeii, and the lost line ,ut them presenting their
pieces, tired at tide troops. None, however, were
woundrd : a hall struck one horse. lieut. TeltilY
then charged the mob, one of whom had iiis he: delft,
by a.chop from the sword of a g.ra,d,man. Thetneb
recited into the cattle-pens in Whirechapel, and were
preparing to fire mu,ketry, &c. on the s, ldias, wl., .1
Lieutenant TERRY immediately d :amounted be vci al
of his men, and pursued them into the pens. '1 he
soldiers .had their calbines, which they loaded, and
on the word " /warm" being given, the mob fled,
',leaving about one hunched maskers Lenind them.
—Twenty of the nr.:b were secured by the ni;lit try,
and the whole were c• mpletely put to the rou .
'Lieutenant FERRY, though a very young man, con-
ducted himself in his difficult situation with extraor-
dinary presence of mind, courage, and firmness. One
of the mub made a dash at his brittle, but he spurred
on his horse, dragged on the man, and delivered him
to a City Officer, from e how he escaped. It having
been said that an application to the Tower for assis-
tance was refused, we have to say eel (Wirt were
given for 200 men from the.'rower to be placed. at'
the dispeitiun of the City Authorities, if they thought
it necessary to call fur them.
