COW. Several cannon have been sent to
wilma and Warsaw, and some are kept
loaded with grape-shot in the public
places OF both capitals.-Unusually strict
orders have also been given to the diff
ierent custom houses and ports On the
frontiers, respecting travellers and mer.
shandise, and, in particular, respecting
letters. Nothing can pass without be-
ing strictly searched. The merchants
protest against it in vain. What has

FRANCE.
NJ. Theirs had returned, post haste to
Paris, from Venice. where be received a
letter from the French capital, within
three hours after the arrival of which
ae was on the road. On his arrival ri
Paris he had long interview with Mar.
shall Gerard, after which the marshal
waited upon the king.
Ihere was an attempt ut Instruction,
at Strasburg, on the Both of October,
which at first looked serious, but wa.
soon put down. The officers of some
regiments stationed there were the ac.
tors in the plot, but the soldiers refused
to join them, and even assisted in their
arrest. Prince Louis Bonaparte-son
we believe, Of LucieH-was the princi.
pal mover In the attempt.-He was de-
ceivea ny representations made to him,
10 the effect that France was weary OF
her King, and that the name of Bonaparte
would ensure for its owner Q trium phant
march upon the capital, and immediate
proclamation as emperor. He was ar
rested, with almost all the hotbeaded
young men who were enlisted in his
iooiish scheme. Several other persons
had been arrested at Paris and other
places, suspected of participation in the
plot. 1t was known to the government,
several months before the ex plosion.
On the same day that Louis Bonaparte
made his abortive attempt upon the gar.
rison at Strasburg, another effort at anu.
tiny was made at Vendome, by corporal
and ~ privates, Of the Duke of Orleans,
regiment Of huzzars-supposed to have
6een ramihcation Of the plot at Strasburg.
1t Jailed utterly, and the movers were
arrested. These events excited some
nneasiness at Paris, where they were
looked upon as evidence OF mischief ex
lstIng to considerable extent among the
soldiery.
