COURT- OF ASSIZE.
AFFAIR OF TUX BLACK FIN.

At the Sitting of the 2d of October M. Tononsr,
',ht.) had been Advocate for Moonier, stated, that a
person whom lie understood to be Contreltloulin,
bad called on him—wished to know how much time
the appeal of the prisoners would occupy ; what
chance. tbey had in succeeding in it—and it they had
atone, how they might best be enabled to make their
escaper to facilitate which he offered a considerable
sum of money.
Contre-Moulin denied that he had evet done so ;
sod insisted that M. Tourret had said, when he
(Coatre•Moulin) had stated to him Chit he -was ac-
ms:d 4,f offering money for Monnier's:escape, ather
must have listenedwhile I spoke of that in Monnier's
cell, and on that they will build the accusation."
114, Touiturr persisted, that, according to the offer
of CUntre-Moulin, he had waited on the Jailer of the
Bicetra, and bad told him that 30,000 francs would
be t:ffered for the escape of Monnier.
Munnler. at this, raised himself on the bench where
be was seated, between two geas•d'armes, and de-
clared that Tourret was a vile hireling.
The rest of the. Sitting was occupied with the plead.
ings of the prisoners' Counsel.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived last night,
The meeting of thiCharnbers is filed, by a Royal
Ordinance. lor the sth of next month.

The trial of due conspirators •,t the Black Pin is
still going on, and not likely to be very soon termi-
nated. Only two of the accused have )et been heard
in their defence, and there are ten of them altogether.
The Duke of Awoni.lLlP, a► Giant' Admiral 01
the kingdom, is about to proceed on a tour of in-
►pection of the French harbours in Brittany and the
western providies.

The Allied Monarchs are, it is said, to have a
meeting in the course of the ensuing year, in order
to come to some resolution relative to the Army of
Occupation in France. Frankfurt and Aix-la-Cha.
pelie have been successively assigned as the place of
meetinr, but it now appears, according to these
papers, that it well be held at Manheim.
General Camino from Whom. Marshal MAalloar
is understood to have experienced great opposition in
his administration at Lyons, has been removed from
his command in that quarter, by promotion to the of.
five of an Inspector General of Infantry.
A Circular has been issued by the Minister of the I
Interior to the Pretects of the Departments on the
I result of the harvest, which claims more than ordi-
may attention. The crops, both in quantity and
quality, are stated to have been in general such as to
leave nothing to desire ; and the conclusion is hence
very reasonably drawn that a great fall in the price
of provisions must immediatety take place. The
Minister proceeds particularly to point out to the
notice of the Prefects, the benefit which ought to be
derived from the superior quality of the grains of this
year. The wheats of ,1816, were so injured by the
great excess of humidity, that alter being dried they
did not weigh on an average more than 70 kilo-
grammes (1401b5.) per hectolitre ; these kilogrammes
again were tar from yielding the ord.uary weight
of flour--and the flour absorbing less water in
baking, produced a less quantity of bread. Its
consequence, however, of -the happy combinatiou
of moist, and dry, and warm weather, which has
distinguished the present year, the wheat of thiihar-
vest generally weighs from eighly to risky ens kilo-
grapitnes per hectolitre; and being perfectly day,
takes more water, and yields proportionally more
bread. k would be very erroneous, therefore, the
Minister justly observes, to compare measure lot
measure the price of the grain of 1816 with that of
the grain of the present year. For example—the
hectulitsd of wheat which sold in June last at 35
francs, now sells at 25 francs, which is not a diminu-
tion of ten francs merely, but of 15 francs on 40
francs, or 13 francs 13 cents on 35 francs, if we take
into aceuunt the greater quantity of nutritive sub-
stance which is obtained glom the new wheat. On
this important observation the Minister founds an in-
junction, which cannot be too particularly attended
to, equally applicable as it is to our own, and to
every other country as well as France V..." if the
Mayors" he says, S' fix the price of bread accord-
ing to the price of the measures of wheat, they
will evideutly do an injustice to the consumer.—
They ought to ascertain the average weight of the
wheat of the district, and regulate the price of bread
by the price and weight of the grain united, since the
weight, will always indicate with the utmost certainty
how much flour and how much bread will be pro-
dutod." The equity of this rule, as the Minister
adds, is perhaps tew obvious to escape the attention
of the local audit:males ; and yet, like many other'
very obvious pieces of equity, It is, in uuth, so ex-
' timely apt to be clistigarded, as the experience of
our own country may sufficiently testily, that we
cannot but applaud the paternal solicitude which has
led the Minister to calorie by his authority the ob-
servance of a rule which can sene in slay degree to
lessen the cost of the necessaries of life, without in-
juring the just interests of those who are engaged in
the labour ..1 their supply. _

Another day's Paris Papers arrived at a late hoar
to-day, but d 9 not enable us to add any thing of im-
portauce. General Viux is stated to have blown
