The London correspondent of the New York
Cmnierc,aI makes mention OF the following in
his last letter:
A few days since, the corporation of London
presented an address to Count PcrsigIy. the
French Ambassador in London, congratulat-
ing the Emperor on his escape In HE reply
the Count complained of the neglect of dnty
shown by England in not seizing and not de-
livering up those who "notoriousyr plotted
against his Majesty's government. Sub,e-
quently the Moniteur has published various
addresses to the Emperor from the chiefs of
the French army, in which they hint that their
Regiments would only be too happy 10 invade
England and drag forth the consp:rator@ 1t
Is believed that even stronger expr 'ssions were
contained in these illusions, since several

ever apology may now be made
Meanwhile the Times has touched the sore
place by telling Count Pcrsigny that if any

Is trying To cover his own want of vigilance
aud capacity. 1t also challenges him to name
single previous occasion ON which any plot
against ruler of France was concocted in
England, and To substantate his assertion that
such proceedings are notorious" If they
were notorious he should have been the first To
apprise his own government of,the danger.
But he neither applied for the aid of the po-
lice on this side, nor caused the plotters to be
arrested on entering France. Nutwithstand-
ing all the machinery OF passports and the
ranlhcatons OF the spy system throughout
Europe, these men were just ~ able To move
about France, Germany and Italy a. in Eng
land. Anything more hnpudcnt therefore,
than the attempt to reproach as tor the non
detection of their designs cannot be conceived.
The French police aud officials 81 all kinds
have evidently become enraged at their own
failure, and are endeavoring 30 draw of at

The Paris correspondent OF the same paper
says:
