London Dec l6--h is singular fact, and one
which ought to be pressed on the attention Of anti
Reformers, that reformed House Of Commons
shows more loyalty aking liberal provision for the
dignity and splendor of the Crown as test than

ANOTHER PLOT AGAINST THE LIFE OF
THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
BY letters and papers from Paris, Of Dec. Is, we
learn that another plot against the life of King Louis
Philippe had been happily detected; in consequence
several persons implicated in this airocious conspi
racy had been apprehended This plot had been
known to the minister's 1t seems, Tor some days. but
the detection was purposely delayed Till the eve Of
the opening of the chambers The chief OF The con-
spiralors, man by the name Of Hubert, was ar
r sted at Boulogne, on Dec. lO;h. The Paris Mes
senger states that he was condemned as an accom-
plce in the Neatly conspiracy; that he had been
frequently over to England lately and was returning
again on Friday last, when on landing he dropped
his poke, book, which was picked up by a Custom

Gated among them, NJ. Brouard doctor in medicine,
at whose house were seized youminous collection
of papers, double barrelled towling piece, and
some shooting accouirements; liiraud native OF
Savoy a bridesmaids clerk; Cloupeli, an English
subject, shoemaker; Schtoub, mechanical work
man and Mademoiselle Groubelle, at whose house
musket was found. This journal subjoins few
particulars concerning Mademoiselle Groubelle,
who has already signalized herself by the violence
of her political feelings and was arrested lew days
after the execution of Fieschi, Pepin, and Morey,
for decorating the tombs Of the two latter with flow
ers in the cemetery OF Mont Parnasse. Some inn
poriant papers have been found in her possession,
and among them a letter from Hubert, recently
written from Bonlogne, in which he states himself
to be without money to pay the bill at his hotel, and
asks her assistance.
The Gazette also informs us that Hubert, who has
not yet arrived the Concergere, is one OF the most
erocious Of the persons implicated in the Neuily plot,
and by whom he always styled the great fellow
with red hair" In the preliminary proceedings oil that
affair he insucd NJ Zangncom so grossly that ne was
condemned for it, as readers will remember, TO
years imprisonment During the trial his behavior was
violent that the President ordered hun to be taken out
of court and his sentence pronounced in his absence,
was subsequently read TO him in prison. Hubert Is
from twenty five 10 twenty six years OF age, above md
die size and his features naturally unpleasant receive
an additional crocy OF expression from his red hair and
whlskers, which surround his face
