IFIDSESDAYe FEBRUARY U, ISIS:

The French Papers to the TN Inst. which have
arrived, inform us of the revolt of the trial, at Rosen,
of. MATUURIN Bnurvexu,who has assumed the title of
the Dauphin. Poor Beunextr, upon evidence that
bears no relation to the fate of the personage whom
he has persouated, has been found guilty of being
an impostor, and sentenced to pay a fine of three
thoasa►sd francs to the Government, with three-
fourths of the expences of the proceedings—to be
imprisoned seven years, two of them espressly or;
account of his disrespect. to the Judges, end on the
' expiration of his present sentence, he is ultimately
to he placed et the disposal of the Government. He
.is, besides the above•mentioned punishment, to bi
deelt with by the proper authorities as a deserter,...
hearing this sentence anutscsu merely said—.
" I am not less what I am."—This is not the re-
mark of an idiot. BuAnkort, one of his fol.
towers, was sentenced to two month.' impart'''.
ment, and to pay a quarter of the expences; thus
making .op the whole of the espences between them.

We aeis tired remarking, that the Paris Journals
seem drieratined to take no further notice of the ei.

• Serious and audacious as such 'en attempt
must In itself unquestionably be, it is still amesine
to see the manner in which French wit is exercised
upon this matter. We have already mentioned, that
various calcmbourgs have been circulated on the
subject, some of which are certainly not without
point. We shall subjoin one, because it also tends
to prove the truth of a statement we have already
given is regard to the diredioN of the shot.

A Mail from Holland has also arrived. The ac/
counts from the head.quarters at Cambray state that
the news of the attempt to assassinate the Duke of
Witt.cisoTost had put all the Commanders of the Artny
of Occupation on the alert, in concert with the Civil
Authorities, to adopt the best measures to ensure ►he
maintenance of good order and tranquillity. Many
couriers have passed through Cambray from Pifig,
destined for the Hague and other northern Courts.
At Pails, however,the scene his been changed : there
the Duke of Wri.t.isstos is remembered only as a
personage who now and then gives a dinner, has an
audience at Court, and hires GRAMS! to sing to
him.
