Late Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, Aarch IL.

Citizen PetH, peace officer having found
out that a Cabrlolet, was TO be sent to
Georges ON Friday night about ten O'Clock,
dispo5ed his inspectors of police in conse-
qucnce; and as soon a. The Cabriolct ap
pea.ed, followed it from the bridge TO the
IhuIileries, Ill it arrived nearly opposite
the Pantheon. As The Cabriolet went
very quick, he could only overtake it with
one OF his colleagues, CITIZEN DestaVigny,
and three of hts agents. The very MO
ment it stopped, Georges rushed into it
with LeTidar, without waiting Cor Dur6an
another brigand, who was to have got in
with him. Georges Immediately set of,
crossed the rue St. jacques, wen, down the
rue 81. Hyacin the, the place St. Niche,
and the rue de la Liberte.-- In the
mean while, citizen Petit, and three
OF his agents, ran after the CabrioIet,
which now drove along rapidly, as fast as
itcould. Georges having perceived thro
the back glass, some men running after
the carriage all in sweat, ordered the
conductor to drive still quicker. AT the
moment the Cabrioict entered the rue DIES
Frossee M-le-P Prince. The Inspector of
Police Jean. Francis Calliole, who arrived
the first seized the relns Of the horse,
whilst Buffet, another inspector, came up
to lock into the carriage. Georges, in
one instant fired two pistols, at the same
time, shot Buffet dead on the spot AID
wounded Casliole very dangerously, Geor
ges and Leridan then leapcd out OF the
Cabriolet, enc to the left and the other to
the right. The third inspector pursued
Letidan and citizen Petit seized Georges
by the collar in which he was assisted by
citiz Destavigny bat they would have
been scarcely able to hold the brigand,
Still defending himself with his poignard,
had not citizen Thomas, hat maker, to-
getber with his brother Lamotle, hasten
ed % their assistance and disarmed him.
Many persons rendered services on this
occasion particularly the citizens Colueluit
anti Langlume, OF the street de lrhionyile.
The people by this time had assembled
in crowds, all seeming 90 vie with each
ther IN Offering their help. When inCor-
med that it was Georges who had Just
been seized, they we're ready to tear him in
pieces. But since he had been principally
arrested by the citizens Of that nriehbor-
hood, the latter we're resolved TO have the
glory of it, by delivering him up to the
magistrates. They accordingly ueo al
AIMS and then took Min to the prele :ture
OF poilce.
The list consul hasg ven orders hat the
ehiiden OF Stephen Buffet, ana Joan Fran.
Cts Calliole, shall DC brought up al the ex-
pense OF the stale. All the money found
on Georges, amounting to near 90 or
10000 fr. has been given tc the children
and widow of Stephen Buffet. Some hopes
are still! entertained hat John Francis Ca!
Hole may recover of his wounds.
The first consul, has also direGted the
grand Judge to take an authentic inquest
in order TO discover the names of all those
citizens who manifested their courage,
and gave proofs Of their attachment to the
governm Mt, on this occasion. They are
to be recompcnsed with distinctions of no.
nor.--In5nfeur.

The whole conversation seems to be en-
crossed by the late conspiracy, from which
France and its government have lad the
happiness to escape; as the slightest de-
tails concerning 1t are eagerly received
We present the following 20 our readers.
One hundred and fifty Of the conspi-
ralors, were, we are credibly Informed, TO
II ave dressed themselves in the uniform Of
the first ccnsul's guides, and by means oil
this Disguise carry him OF, either at Mall
maison, whilst he was hunting, or during
one Of his iournies, and take him dead or
alive to England. In Consequence ofthis
Information gwen by Quereie, one OF tn.
conspIratorsthe uniforms have been found.
i his man improperly called f.riel Is the
same who was arrested in O;lober last
with number Of other brigands, and
when on the point Of being shot, promis
ed, in order to sayehis life, tn make very
important discoveries it WAS from him
government 6rst learnt tina Georges was
IN France, together with many others,
more or less concerned in inc Internal
plot and It was IN consequence Of his de-
position that great number OF arrests took
place, He il was HscNise, who gave the
Information, that landing Of body at
Chouans was to take place on a certain
day. Hitherto, however, no chief sup-rl.
