STATE OF FRANCE.

The intelligence from france by Tue
last arrival from Liverpool reports that
country in an unsettled state. However
honest the intention or benevolent the dis
position of tie present king may be, and
we are not disposed to question either, It

seem inclined to relinquish their attach
ment to the late Emperor. and his family.

bayonets.-Scarcely, since the restoration,
has one conspiracy been developed and
crushed till another succeeded. The last,
if we recollect rightly, was bnt short
time since, headed by General BENTON,
and we have now confused account of "a
mother, brought by the Magnet. headed by
lieutenant colonel CARoN. There is no
detail of the transaction, so we must for
the present be satisfied with the following
notice OF the affair. NJ Y Gax.

cry. There has been an attempt, in the
department Of the Upper Rhine, to Sc

out on the Cd July, as had been concerted.

his intention Of releasing the prisoners At
