The French papers mention the escape of some prisoners con-

fined in one of the Frankfort gaols, for being concerned in the disturbances in that city last month. There appears to have been a plot to raise a riot ; and order was not restored till a number had been killed and seventeen wounded. The Austrians entered Frankfort on the 5th instant, and suppressed an emeute which arose at the funeral of a young man who was killed on the day when the prisoners escaped. In these proceedings, the con- duct of the soldiery and police in firing upon the citizens has caused much irritation ; and eight hundred of the principal inha- bitants have memorialized the Senate on the subject.
