The Paris journals are occupied with discussions on the late
attempts at revolt in Strasburg and Vendome. At Vendome, the disorder reachei a greater height than at Strasburg. Several additional arrests of sub-officers have taken place ; and there is a general impression that the plot had wider ramifications than was at first disclosed. The conspiracy of Louis BONAPARTE was framed some months ago, at Baden ; and he is reported to have said that he had received assurances that he had only to show himself in order to bring over the whole army. The prisoners of Vendome are to be tried by a Court-martial at Tours. Louis BONAPARTE, it is said, will not be tried ; and what is to become of him nobody knows. The evidence lately procured of the ex- istence of a disloyal spirit in the army, gives Louis PHILIP great uneasiness; and it is supposed that he would gladly intrust SOULT with the task of reorganizing it, if the old Marshal were not so obstinate and impracticable. There is also a slight feeling of distrust towards SOULT, who is suspected of a desire to make the army his own instrument.
