The F'rencet papers of Monday, which arrived last nij,ht, contain no political news of importance. The Jouirnal des Debats does not cnpy thc decree of FERlDINAND respecting " his dolninions" in South America. A considerable portion of that ioutnal is occupied with statemients of the facts of an affair whiclh was to come on before bth Paris Court of Assize, involving an alleged plot against the state. The indictment is drawn up against seven individuals, whose names are as follows :-Jean-Samnue) Sauquaire Souligne, Gaspard Lavocat, Charles Coudert, Jacques Mllathieu, Theoplhile Balland, Francoise Chauvet, and Caroline Julie Monceau Chauvet, the wife of the last. Lavocat. Coudert, and l:lathicu are ci.dc-vant subaltern officers: Ballaund is 3'student of lav; ani Chauvet was adyeratSau. Inmtr. 'rhe first, Sauquaire-Souligne, wYho is described as the soul of the plot, had been tried on a similar chr.rge in 1821, and acquitted. Ilis trial is said only to have exasperated his hatred to the Govcrn- mnet, andl his arquittai to have furnishied him with the opportunity of contriving new plots for its overthtow. Accordinply, on the approach of the Spanish war, and while the French armics were preparinig to pass the Pj renecs, Souligne is chalrged with having," in corresponidence with the revolutionary Spaniards, the Radicals of England, and the Frencl Reftugees at London," arranged a conspiracy for overthrowing the government of his country. The indictrmeln then proceeds to connect the names of Mlr. BowrtscG, and of the PoatugupseeAibssaadlor at Paris, with tdKintrigucs,of Souligt6. At the mnoment of' his embarking for Lisbon, this ain- I bassador. it is said, was surpri9cd in possession of articles writ. ten by t!e hand ol' Sauquaire Soulign6. These writings, seized at Havre, paint their author as incessantly occupied with in- listments, subscriptions, and even plans of campaigus. No. thing ot this kind, however, is given in the indictment, whith, after declaring that it would be tedious to quotc all the | calumnies and infamous abuse heaped on the BouRnoys in these papers satisfies itself with the quotation of soine uuiisiportant passages for the purpose evidently of giving prominence to the name qt' Ir.BotvRSr<G. We are afterwardstreated tosoine of the con- tents of his correspon(dence with Chauvet (who had been iwu- plicated in the aWair of BEstroxl, on account of the ex- pedition of the conspirators into Spain, and of attempts toade to distribute incendiary proclamations in France. After some fartlher statements respecting the correspondence and in- trigaes of the accused, the indictment eoncludes by declaring that :,ouligne is accused of carrying arms against his coantry,and the rest as being his accomplices. None of the accused are apprehended, but Madame Cliauvet. They will,of course, be condeinned, pr contumace. FRESC?1 FUNDs, PARIS, Jan. 12.-Five per Cents. opened at 93f. 60c.; closed, Pitf. 30c.
