The Paris papers of Thursday report the close of the

public pro- ceedings in the great state trial of Quenisset and his fellow-prisoners, on Wednesday evening. Dufour, the only one of the prisoners be- sides Quenisset who had avowed his guilt, to the last refused to incul- pate any of the others. He swallowed a quantity of snuff in prison, pretending to believe that it was a deadly poison ; but he was re- covered from the consequent disorder without much difficulty. The Attorney-General recommended four of the prisoners, Boucheron, Fougeray, Mallett and Martin, to the mercy of the Court, but demanded the heads of the others. The general opinion in Paris, however, was hat no executions would take place.
