Peers have obtained most valuable information respecting the origin, growth, and numbers of many secret societies in France ; whose aim is to establish a republic, and, as a necessary prelude, to overthrow the Orleans dynasty on the first opportunity.
Seven persons, charged with attempts to instigate the disaffected to assassinate Louts PHILIPPE, by articles published in the Moni- tear Republieuin and L'Homme Libre, were tried in the Seine Court of Assizes, on Wednesday ; and five were found guilty. Their sentence was five years' imprisonment and five years' sur- veillance by the Police.
The students in the Polytechnic School have been disarmed, and the utter extinction of that favourite institution is menaced by the Government.
Altogether, the accounts from France wear a gloomy aspect. Louts PHILIPPE has been taught, that in spite of his vigilance, Paris swarms with desperadoes eager for his destruction ; while there is scarcely a man of political reputation esteems him as any thing more respectable than a clever charlatan.
