PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Paris, July IS.
Fresh arrests, bet of .obscure individuals, have
taken place in ceissecteence of the late conspiracy,
and Ministers are pursuing as close an investigation
of the case as their delicate situation will permit. It
appears that the scheme in question was well com-
bined, and would infallibly have been carried into
effect, bad it not been for the disclosure made to the
King in the manner I explained to you. Ministers
were in perfect ignorance of it. Indeed, there woold
seem no reason for its being abandoned even, now,
the means of esecution still lying in the hands-of its
framers. The Royal Guard, consisting of Swiss and
French Regiments, continues to do duty at St.
Cloud. A few of its officers have been removed, it,
is true, but the rest entertain the same spirit—are
equally devoted to the Princes. Ministers hese no►
power or influence enough, either to substitute
another guard in its lieu, or even to pot officers of
their choice over the present one. It is net clear,
therefore, and indeed Ministers themselves are by no
means satisfied that the conspiracy is at an end.
This hostility between parties has broken oat at
an unlucky moment, a time bordering on the Elec-
tions. Ministers obtained tolerable ones last year by
calling the Ultras to their aid. The same resource
they cannot expect this year. They are now, there-
fore, turning about to the Libereaux, and offering
concessions as the price of their support. They are
tampering with M. Lafitle and Manuel, and, as
pledges, are already giving some indications of a
change of system. M. Donoyer is liberated on
bail., and his prosecutor, the Attorney-Getters! ■t
Rediriss, is dismissed. Thedirections given respecting
M. Fibrin. and Seurevill, under prosecution for
libel, are reversed—judgment is to be given in
their favour.,—This state of things has em-
boldened Marshal Marmont to declare in a letter to
the Due de Richelieu, published is the Minerve, that
his Aid•de•Camp is justified in all his assertions
against Canard and de Chebrol, and that a promo-
tion directed against Fahtier would be one directed
against biniself. It is expected that Ministers will
►elent also in Their instructions relative to the Editors
of the Bibliathequa Ilistorique, still on their trial.
The proceedings are closed, but judgment is suspended
until the 24th. Of course they will be guilty or not,
and the sentence be lenient or severe according to
circumstances on that day. The same Editors are
now announcing a Journal des Elections, directed by
the Society for the Liberty of the Press.

that ' inhospitable prison.houee. Though Mr.
O'MEARA is a British Officer, bolding rank in the
Navy, end consequently under the necessity of main-
twining in his person its honour unblemished, it seems
the Governor has for some time past manifest-
ed an intention of subjecting him to the same
restrictions as the French Poisoner's have been
doomed to suffer. From this and other conduct,
highly insulting and dishonourable to himself
and his profession, this accomplished young Gen-
tleman, whose attendance on the French Empe-
ror was by Lord limit conceived 'to be highly
useful to the British Government, has been
under the necessity of • resigning, and solicit-
ing his removal from the situation he has held at
St. Helena. This is evidently what was wanted by the
authors of this dishonourable conduct, and we are
sorry that Mr. O'Mesna has gratified them so far.
But his feelings end sense of duty in a sites-
tion of which history affords so parallel,. will
secure him the esteem he merits, its spite of any
artful insinuation or misrepresentation " arising
from malice, revenge, or a dread of the truth's being
made known in England."
Accounts have been received from Teneriffe, stet-
log, that the Spanish convoy with troops, which
lately left Cadiz, bad brought up in the harbour of
the above island, where one of the frigates had been
condemned as not sea-worthy. A great scarcity of
provisions prevailed throughout the whole fleet, for
the public coffers at Cadiz were so low, that proper
supplies had nut been furnished. This hid created
considerable uneasiness and dissatisfaction ; and a
strong remonstrance had been made by the Naval
Commanders to the Governor of Teneriffe. The
island was equally as bare of provisions as the fleet;
but the Governor immediately laid a forced contribu-
tion of 120,000 dollars on the inhabitants, in terms
equally severe and argent as if the place lied expert.
enced the invasion of en enemy. The sealed orders
hail been opened, and the general opinion wag, they'
were destined for Lime ; indeed, some of the vessels.
which had a proportion of the troops on board, bed
been purposely chartered and loaded for that quarter.
It is uncertain whether the late important news
from Chili would reach the fleet before its eventual
sailing, as the information will only arrive at Madrid
by the post from England. At all events, the Spa-
niards will find their great efforts are too late; for,
should the expedition go round Cape Horn, the
Patriots are now provided with a stout fleet on the
Pacific ; and, should it bend its course towards Ve-
nezuela, Bator; is fully prepared to give a good ac-
count of it.

Paris Papers to the 15th inst. stave come to hand.
There appears to be much closeting and confabola.
lion among the Ministers, but not a word is yet said
in the Journals of the conspiracy against the Go-
vernment. The Duke of WELI.INGTON had a con.
ference on Monday with the Deke de RIC.IIELIEU,
and the English and Spanish Ainbassadors. The
King remained at St. Cloud, where his Majesty on
Monday transacted business with the Duke de Rt-
CIIELIEU; the Duke bad afterwards an interview
with MoNsINUR. Though the Papers say nothing
respecting the conspirators, it appears by the accounts
from Paris, through other channels, that the investi-
gation of the charges against the persons implicated
is carried on with great activity, under the speCial di-
rection of M. [IMAM', Procoreur•General, who, in
such cases, is invested with discretionary power. The
persons arrested are still confined au secret. Among
the persons cited to appear, in order to be interro-
gated, are mentioned :—Marichal-de-Camp Ikon DE
CUAUSIGNY ; Baron DE VioMENIL Sieur PORSION,
formerly Commissary• General of the Police at Mar-
seilles; MaezerrviLLE, the Dramatic Author; Count
DE LATOUR. D'AUVERGNE ; a Secretary of M. DE
VITEOLLES, &c. All General CA:suat.'s papers hate
been seized, and are, with the proofs of his flight, in
the hands of the legal authorities. Some say that he
is gone to La Vendee, others pretend that be has
escaped to Switzerland along with Gen. DONADIEU.
A private Letter from Paris in another column adds
some curious and interesting particulars regarding
this mysterious affair, and the situation in which it
has placed the Government. 66 It is an ill wind that
blows nobody good," and this circumstance has for-
tunately not only done no harm to the parties con-
spired against, but bas had the best pouible effect on
the conduct of Administration, which is represented
as now changed from prosecution of the Liberals,
who had offended the Ministers by their writings, to
measures tending to favour aad protect these un-
fortunate persons.

dering of the measures to be adopted for the defence
