FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JUNE N.
Last night all the Royal Family, with the excep-
tion of his Majesty, proceeded to a most brilliant
fete, given by-Lord Wellington at his hotel. More
then LOW persons were present, =one whom were
the Ambassadors, Ministers, several Marshals, Ge-
nerals, and Officers of the King's Household. The
Princes remained to a late hour at this fete. The
Duchess of Beni danced with grace and admirable.
agility.
The King returned from Trianon at ten o'clock
last night. The Emperor of Austria bas conferred
on the celebrated Canova, the Cross of the Imperial
Order of Leopold.
The King has granted pardon to all deserters from
the navy, as a further mark of grace and favour, in
honour of the marriage of the Duke and Duchess 01
Berri.

TRIAL OF GENERAL GILLY.
The General stood accused of betraying the cause
of the King in the month of April, 1815, and with
having attacked bit troops, interrupting their retreat
in the Department of the Gard, upon the return of
Bonaparte. A number of documents were read in
evidence, among which was a Memoir of the accused,
dated the 25th July, protesting that his whole con-
duct bad been influenced by a desire to prevent the
miseries of civil war, and protect the established Go.
•ernment, and concluding, by declaring, that he
waited without any anxiety the decision of his Judges.
However, he did not think fit to remain in the place
from which he had dated his Memoir.
The Council, after hearing the Rampinur in sup-
port of the prosecution, unanimously declared the
General Guilty—lst, of Treason and revolt against
the legitimate Government ; 2d, of having attacked
the legitimate Government with his army, and di-
rected the troops, which he had induced to revolt,
against those commanded by the Duke d'Angouleme.
In consequence, he was condemned to death: Gene-
ral Gilly is absent.
The Council of War will be next occupied with
the case of General Drouet d'Erlon.

The following facts appear from their act of accu-
sation, drawn up by M. Vandoeuvre, substitute of
the Attorney-General:—ln February last, certain
Ines, already known by their seditious spirit, chiefs of
the federation of 1815, and others the wrecks of the
revolutionary clubs and committees, most of them of
the very lowest origin, driven to crime by want, and
heated, doubtless by the instigations of more impor-
tant personages, conceived the horrible project o 1 de.
inlaying the Royal Family and overturning the Go-
vernment.
Whatever might be the extravagance of such an
enterprise, they flattered themselves with succeeding
by some of those means which are not altogether
without danger in the hands of audacious men who
have nothing to lose. In their scheme,- their first ob-
jict was to appeal to all that France still contains of
enemies of public, peace, and to stir up those elements
of insurrection which have fermented at all epochs of
our civil troubles, by concentrating movements, di-
recting their march, establishing a point of commu-
nication among the disturbers, signs of 'recognition
among the agents, and all this with so much mystery
as to escape the vigilance of an intelligence police.
Two men, the obscurity of whose condition seemed
likely to screen them from suspicion, Pleignier, a
currier, and Carbonneau, a writing master, ,took upon
them the menthe part. Pleignier's affairs were
desperate, and Carbonneau was in a state a the most
abject poverty. These men devoted day and night
to their criminal machinations. They settled that
cards of a particular form should be made for the
purpose of distribution among their associates, as a
sign of recognition and a measure of their numbers;
and that a sort of address and proclamation should
be printed with the view of exciting and obtaining
the co-operation of all the enemies of the Royal au•
thority. The cards and copies of the proclamations
were to have a stamp, inscribed with the words
Union, Elonigur, Pie; and it was resolved that the
associates should take the name of Patriots of 1816.
Tolleron, an engraver, whom Carbonneau had
own as Secretary of the Federation, and who was
,ested in August 1815 as one of the most seditious
nin the capital, was called in to their assionce,
he engraved the stamp, forwbich he received 65

francs. Cards were then made, and the One of the'
flambe's opined with the member 2001, to give the
consplfitcy rester credit. About 10,000 cards were
darearo off, and more than 5000 distribued with in,
credible zeal and precaution. The Palais Royal, the
Change, the coffee-houses, the Warns, places of de-
bauchery, of procitution, all the points of meeting of
the sedkions, the discontented, and the idle, besides
various private houses, served as so many depots for
the cards, from whence they passed into the most
impure and dangerous bands which the capital
contains.
A Proclamation was next drawn up, and the pri-
soner Chailei who bad been printer to the federation,
was employed to print it. Charles got the types corn.
posed, and sent the MONO" to them in this state ; but ,
for want of a printing press, they employed two
'boards in tho operation, and threw off one thousand
copies, of which more than 500 were distributed.
116 manifesto was entitled "Secret Organization
of the Patriots of 1816," and every copy bore the im-
pression of the stamp of the Association. Among
various passages, which respect for the King prevents
us from repeating, we shall only cite the following,
which admit of a just and terrible application to the
accused :—" To leave crime unpunished, is to au-
thorize it." Farther on we read—ss We will no
longer endure traitors .amongst us s if any one is
found, woe to him l His doom is pronounced—its
execution shall be quick as lightning." " We are
impenetrable," add the conspirators ; " we are to be
found no where, and yet are every where," &c.
These manifestoes, preceded or followed by inh-
uming writings and •the most absurd reports. excited
a dangerous ferment in the minds of the multitude,
'and awakened in the hearts of the seditious the most
guilty hopes. But among the latter there were many
who, though the manifestoes were explicit enough on
the subject of civil war and the destruction of the
Royal Family, still thought wanting a more formal
explanation of the ultimate object ot the enterprise,
and as to the person whom it was wished to raise to
the throne. This became the subject of various ob-
jections addressed to Picard, the wife, by an Officer
on half pay, named Desbaunes. This woman, whose
house was a depot for the manifestoes, and who was
distinguished by her zeal, communicated to Desbaunes
a nete which emanated from Pleignier and Carbon-
neau, and which left no uncertainty as to the object
of the conspiracy. 'This note was discovered among
the papers of Desbaun.i, and is to the following
effect :
" In reply to the observations of some of our bre-
thren, who wish to know the object of our operations,
and what 'may he their result, we answer as follows:
1. " That our object is national independeb.w, as we announced
la our Address.
a. " That we wish now to terminate the zevtliiadon by Ph"
ranteeing for ever against the horrors of anarchy. kr. [Hare the
overthrow of the kgitistategovernmeot is proposed.]
a. "That we have cast our eyes on Napoleon 11. and that kb
him whom we invite to the Throne, on condition that the Re-
gency shall accept, in his name, the Constitution which shall be
produced by the Representatives of the Nation, and the violation
of one single ankle of which shall render him unworthy to reign.
It would be absurd to suppose that the establishment of a Re-
public was meant. Has it not been proved to a demonstration
that it cannot suit us? (Signed)
44 C. one ot the Secret Organizers.

" P.S. Thep:trete/04h may accord us a confidence as Freon,
as that which we ask of them ; and we this moment swear rather
to perish than abandon tile cause of those who have pronounced
the death of the tyrant, and the extinction of his family."
The Act of Accusation then details the various
meetings which the conspirators hehl at alehouses.
At one of these, in the rue Chapon, Tolleron said
that many persons. believed to be in Germany, were
then concealed in Paris; that the object of the plot
was to get possession of the Thuilleries, to put to
death the Royal Family, and to establish a Provi-
sional Government, of which the heads were a)ready
designated, and ready te come forth ; then to make
an appeal to the people, to know whether they would
wish a republic, or a monarchy under Napoleon 11.
and that the success of the enterprise was the more
certain, because the three parties known among the
Patriots appeared to unite in favour of Napoleon 11.
Sufficiently correct knowledge was obtained of the
localities of the Thuilleries; and in a meeting held on
the 26th of April, the plan of insurrection was agreed
upon. It was planned to bein the attack by the ex-
plosion of a mine under the Ihuilleries, by means of
from 18 to 20 barrels of gunpowder, which were to
be introduced through the aqueduct emptying itself
at the foot of the Pont Royal. Oa the same occasion,
an estimate was given of the-force which could be
brought to contribute to the execution of the plot, of
the federates, who might be armed, and the military
who might be seduced.
The next meeting of the conspirators, fixed for the
2d of May, did not take place, for the Police having
bad for some time in their hands all the palpable
threads of the conspiracy, thought that the moment
was come when it should be put an end to, and ac-
cordingly they arrested the 28 individualsnotibrought
to trial. One of the signs by which the conspirators
recognized each other was, when they shook hands,
to place some of their fingers in a position resemble
ing the letter N.
The act of accusation then gives an abstract of the
examination which each prisoner underwent when 1,
taken into custody ; but the preceding details give a
sufficient view of the substance of the charge. ,
ALGHIERI, (SARDINIA) JUNE IL

Four feluccas, two of which are French, having on
board many unfortunate Christians who escaped the
massacre of Bone, have arrived in our port. It is
impossible to form any conception of the deplorable
state in which they have performed this voyage;
pursued as they were by the pirates, it is an additio-
nal wonder that they have reached this place without
accident. A great number of feluccas sunk from
being overloaded by the crowds of persons who
rushed on board, and whom it would have been cruel
to have driven back.
Several passengers on board the St. Theresa died
in consequence of the fright which they had received.
Two armed cutters and a pink have been sent, out to
meet the unhappy wretches who are seeking their
safety in flight..
The militia are all called out, and will do duty on
the coast in the most regular manner. Several ves-
sels are building at Cagliari for the purpose of form-
ing a squadron; but it-is not ships that are wanting,
as we could at the present moment send a flotilla to
sea. No vigorous measures are adopted. We us.
not tell why the frigates yrbieb are in the poet Of Go.
noa are not cruising off our coast. We have in wee
waters several French sbipi from Toulon and Mu-

teaks. tt k to be hoped that ill time Meet will
reduce the 'Lobar/ Powers to such a state of deOn-
deuce as will secure the commerce of the Southern
provinces of Europe:
The English might apt. a glorious part, if ,they
but choose it : they would be considered as the deli.
verers of the seas. They have found mesas to pro.
tect the mouths of the Cattarn, the lonian Islands,
the coast of Malta ; and they would have bad no
more difficulty in preserving the coasts of Italy from
the daily devastations to which they are sut•ject.;—
The system which they have adopted alienates all
minds from them, and is confidently attributed to
some political object. Time will perhaps shew what
is at the bottom of it.
