Letters from Rome, of the 9th instant, report that the

French Ambassador had detected a plot to assassinate the Pope. The conspirators were to draw lots; the one thus selected to crave audience, and strike the fatal blow. M. Rossi sent a list of the conspirators to the Pope, and among them was a Capuchin: a Capuchin presented himself for audience—his name was asked—it was the name in the list: he was admitted, and at once seized; on his person were two loaded pistols and a poisoned dagger. Other arrests followed. The Paris papers of Thursday announce that M. Remnsat's motion for the exclusion of placemen from the Chambers was rejected by 219 to 170.
