the 9th October, Mr. Hooper has receiv-
ed from his correspondent, Rouen papers
to October z.
These papers are filed with reports Of
the trial of persons concerned IN a very
extensive plot, under the insignia OF LIE
pingle Noire (the black pin). They are
prosecuted under tho idea that their ob-
ject was to expel Louis but it would
seem they aimed principally at the ex-
pulsion of the allied troops. The Kings
advocate maintained that their numbers
already amounted to 10000. The law
yers OF the accused supported the cause
of their clients with great boldpess so
much so as to excite the threats OF the
Advocate General. They maintained
that there was no plot, and turned the OF
ficers of police into ridicule and con:
tempt. The jury, after several hours
deliberation, returned verdict Of NOT
| GUILTY.

In every quarter OF Europe the Peace
appears consolidating; war establishments
every where on continued decrease land
the arts which support, ealishteu and
comfort men, increasing. The navies Of
Europe have almost literally sunk into
rnusqueto-fieets; but those vessels which
are building for future combats are con-
structed on plans copied from the Ame-
Tican navy yard.
France continues the most interesting
part Of Europe. The King appeared con-
stantly employed in his cabinet councils,
holding levses, reviewing his troops, or
distributing benetactions. Whenever he
appeared in public, he was welcomed
with the cries OF Tre ls Roi. The old
French Marshals. particularly Oudinot,
continued great favorites at court. All
trials aud arrests for seditiOn had subsi.
ded.
In Prussia and several other Kingdoms
of Germany, constitutional questions and
systems Of representative government,
we're freely discussed, and were in train
of being adopted. The respect of mo-
narchs Tor people, and vice versajappear-
ed gaining ground DAILY.
