The Journal Offciel this morning contains decree

The report of Minister Olivier. preceding the oe

Government hoped kindness and patience would
suffice to conquer passions which had their rise In
other times. But he is forced TO believe that ener-

Gut the rcvouionists have sought to sweep away by
one crime the regning sovereign and the constltu
ton which would be to destroy, with sure blow,
tbc state itself and they have resolved to execute
their purpose before the Sth of May. Their plans
have for long time been prepared. Under these
circumstances il is our duty TO publicly surrender
them to Justice. The number nculpated, the nature
and gravity of the affair and the exgencics OF public
ORDER demand the exercise of the powers of the high
court in the trial and Judgment of the cause.
Then follows report Of the Procureur-General,
showing that in their public assemblies ardent revo-
lutionists had come together to prepare the nsurrec
ton and attempt against the Emperor. The report
gives some details of the conspiracy Of February,

peror letter is published from Flourens to Beaury,
wherein the question of the attempt is discussed and
also a letter from Beaury TO Ballot, a friend of
Tourens in which he invites him to assist at ampu

speaks likewise of that affair The report then gives
an account Of the discovery of the bombs and states
that there might be another foundcry where bombs
