Conspiracy against the Czar — prominent parties implicated. From a letter published in the Paris papers, and containing the most circumstantial details, it appears that at St. Petersburg a tragedy was on the point of being enacted, the effects of which, had it been accomplished, would have spread at least over one half of Europe. A plot against the life of the Emperor Alexander, as well as against the lives of the different members of the Imperial family, has lately been discovered, in whs papers. While doing so, a colonel in the Russian army, and secretary to one of the ladies in question, came and displayed an order which empowered him to take possession of the treasonable correspondence. A warm contest ensued, but Patkul was the victor, and in the letters which he found was discovered the clue to the conspiracy. The two ladies were immediately ordered to leave St. Petersburg, and also forbidden ever to return there. But the fate of all the others has not yet transpired.
