PARIS, Oct. 14.
During the first days of the 2d Decade of Vendemaire, information was received, that a person of the name of Demerville residing at No. 24, Rue des Moulins, had distributed a considerable sum of money; and some well known villains frequented his house.
Positive information was received, that on the 11th instant, eleven of these villains were to throw themselves upon the First Consul, when coming out of the Opera. The Police then took the most active measures to watch them.—On the 18th, two of them (one by the name of Cerachi) were arrested in the lobby of the Opera: they were armed with cutlasses. Demerville, and some of his accomplices were arrested in the night—they are in pursuit of the others:—Demerville and Cerachi have both confessed. These wretch miscreants are for the most part, composed of individuals, inured to murder in the massacres of September, and those of Versailles.
