SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE Paris Papers of Thursday state, that another abortive attempt at a military insurrection occurred at Vendome (in the department of the
Cher and Loire), on the 80th ultimo, the same dais on which Loris BONAPARTE tried to gain over the garrison of Strasburg. At Ven- dome, the mutineers were a corporal and about twenty privates of the Duke of ORLEANS' Regiment of Hussars. They intended to have pro- claimed the republic ; but were soon made prisoners. In the guard- room, the corporal shot a sergeant of his regiment, and escaped in the con- fusion ; but afterwards, unaccountably, returned to his quarters, and was of course arrested. This affair and that of Strasburg, though con- temptible both as respects the parties immediately engaged in them
and their results, are looked upon seriously iu Paris; where they are considered as evidence of a ramified conspiracy among the soldiery, the extent of which can only be guessed at. The Strasburg delinquents will be tried, not by a Court-martial, as there are some civilians among them, but by the Royal Court of Colmar. It is said that for upwards of three weeks the French Government had accurate information of Loris BONAPARTE'S inten- tions and movements.
It is an indication of the u:xasiness of Lours Plume, that on the non-arrival of the Strasburg and Lyons mails on Thursday, public no- tice was given that the bad state of the roads alone prevented their reaching Paris.
