PARIS, Jan IL.

Very unfasofabie intelligence arrived at Paris yes

Manifesto Of Nicholas was published 1t explains
Iearly, and in detail, the account OF Consantne,s
enunciation; and the acts, which set It torsh, are
annexed at full length. On the same day the reg-
&nents of the Guards were TO have taken the oath.
At / O'Clock in the morning some OF them kept

kliloradoyitch went to the Place to harangue the

puell the mutiny. At length, finding all mild means
#ruitless, and after having useessly explained the
circumstances of Constantines remuneration, he was
forced to cause troops and cannon to come up. The
8ebels formed themselves into square battalion,
&nd had the audacity to fire first, but we're soon dis
bersed and pursued in all di, ections.-The number
MI killed is computed at 200. At six O'Clock order

The tragic scene has closed; and the cur tain has fallen over the murderer of Col. Sol omon F. Sharp: the trial, conviction, and con fession of guilt. and execuiionof Jereboam Q. Beauchamp, for that murder, and the suicide of Ann Beaucham, formerly Ann Cook, who was privy to, and instigated her husband to tie murder of Sharp After attempting to kill both herself and her husband with laudanum, on the 5th, which failed or account of the quantity taken, by producing vomiting, she stabbed herself with knife in the breast, on the 7th, about two hours before his execution, and expired in about one hour after the wound was inflicted. Her last words were, "Oh! my husband l die for my husband ]" She persuaded him to stab himself also; but the wound was not fatal.
 From the time she was brought up to Frank fort, t,she remained in the jail, with her husband, until after she stabbed herself. She was then removed to room in the house of MT. Me- Intosh, the jailor, and at the request of both her and Beauchamp, he was sent for, and brought into the room in a sheet. On enter
