The public attention is directed to the
trial of Sir Robert Wilson and his friends,
which is said to be fixed for Thursday,
before the Court of Assizes the same

on &c eXaCtness of the following particu-

On Saturday, the day of their arrest, sir
Robert positively declined giving any an

posed to him. He was closely confined,
and au secret. The day after he would
only answer the mere questions of formal

Paris Journals to the 9Th inst. ass .rt,
that political arrests are still continued
with an activity, and in such numbers as
to evince that the government is in the ut
most dread of convulsion. Armed force
is employed for the purpose OF making
these arrests, and handing over the sus,
pected persons to the civil authorities. 1t
is also evident, that the fears of the gov
ernment are not ilI-tounded, proof that
| the eHMts Of the police, numerous as this
| active body is, are INSULT lent to prevent
the elements OF popular vengeance from
collecting, and threAtning the most diretui

foreign force is again spoken of. The ST.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, J..n %.
II is with extreme regret Inform you,
that Affirming accounts have been received
from Lyons, relative to some very Serious
disturbances which have lately taken place
in that town. l am at present, unable to
give you the details If what has passed.
All that l Can learn 1T this momen is, that
a great number of Bonapar lists, tederates,
and other Jacobins, had assembled III the
Pllce dies Terrcaux, and had paraded the
streets OF Lyons, threatening to murder ali
the Roralists.-They were preceded by
disbaudei officer of the army of the Lore,
carrying thu bust of the King Of Rome,
and crying out Yiue FEmfercitr Vive lie
ROi de Rome ! The Commandant OF Ly-
ons Immediately assembled the National
Guard, with ali the other troops at his dis
position, and soon dispsrs d the insurg-
EMS ; not, however, without the loss of
blood aud several lives. When the last
Courier left Lyons, order and tranquility
had been restored by the active and cner-
getic conduct of the Commandant, sup
ported b. the Rnyalis,s. Among the ring
leaders who have been arrested and are
now in prison, were found several persons
occupying places under the present
government, and who. it appears, were
the principal instigators of this revolt and
rebellion.
This Circumstance proves the truth Of
Nj. Boncld's observation in the Chamber
of Deputies, viz. " that the future safety
Of the country entirely depend on a proper
choice ct the agents ofgoveru,nent, even in
the lowest employ" To this, he adj
ded, surely we may be permitted once
more TO say, that we have pad sutficleat-
ly dear, for the right to demand of govern
men, this guarantee for our security
Numerous meetings Of NJ. Taiieyrand's
friends have taken place they have had
several conf rcnccs with him, and it ap-
pears that he is decided not to quiz the me
tropolis unless by oompulsion.

After some d-sultory debate on the mo-
ific ltion of the details of this bill, between
Messrs. Talbot, Sanford. Mason of n. II
and Wilson, the bill was postponed TO
Monday.
The Senate resumed the considera-
ton OF tie bill supplementary to tire
act for the indemnification of certain claim
ants 10 lands in the Mississippi terrific
ny.
This bill proposes. in its first section to
extend the time for fling releases by
claimants /; and in the second regulates
the manner in which the claims OF the
representatives of deceased persons shall
be substantiated, Ssc.
The tier section was stru:k out, in
pursu4n of the reco nmendaton of
the select committee. the ground Of which
recommendation was explained by Mr..
Tayler, to be the interference of this
prov sion with the peculiar powers Of
state 6 v rnments and courts in rcla-
ton to descents and the distribution of es-
tates.
Thus amended, the bill was, without OPP
position. ordered to be engrossed for Sd
reading.
Monday. March II.
The bill from the House of Rtpresen-
tatives for making further provision for mi
litary services during the late war, was
taken up and the question being about
TO be put whether it sh luld be read a third
time
Mr.. Wilson announced his intention
to move an amendm Mt ~ the b II, by in
reducing provision which he understood
had failed in the House of REPRESENTA-
tives, but which, in his opinion, publ
Justice, gratitude and feeling required to be
adopted. He th,n read the sketch of
new section TO allow donations Of land, in
proportion TO their rank, to the officers
.. ranged by the lite reduction of the army.
To as ertain whether the Senate would be
willing to receive an amendment Of this
character, he moved to postpone the b II
til tomorrow.
The postpoaement was agreed to.
The Senate next took up the bill to es-
ttblish 2 Law Library At the seat of gov
ernment. for the use of the Supreme Court
of the United States. There was some
debate on this subject, not in oppos ton to
the provision Of law books for the purpose
designated, as well as for the use Of Con-
gress, but on a motion Of Mr.. Wilson to a.
mend the bill by striking out so much
thereof as proposes to place the law books
tc be purchased, in an apartment separate
from the general library which was neg
ativc1, 10 8.
