LABE - DOYEIB suffered the sentence of the Council of War, on Saturday evening, at six o'clock. He was shot in the Plain de Glyn(lle. If there was any crowd or, bustle on the occasion, the French Papers have taken no notice of the circumstance. The payment of this debt to justice will be hailed by Europe as the first pledge given by France that crimes, subver. sive of all social institutions, will henceforth not be suffered to pass with impunity ; that the Government means to net with vigour, and to cause itself to be reTected ; that the reigre of justice and the laws has been substituted for that of fear and terror, so long upheld by the adherents of BONAPARTE. Tire erchoraitor Nor reached Paris on Saturday morning, under a proper guard. He was carried to the Police, whence, after a short examination, he was sent to the prison of the Cunciergerie. He mill pro bably be the stetted oiEiring to jueie.e. Never did . any man better merit punishment, and the execration', of mankind. To suffer such a person to escape the vengeance of the law, would now inflict a • deeper erootid upon France arid up m Europe, than even ”tuen of BONAPARTE (Piero that now pthsible), at the - heed Of an armed force, to contend for the Throne. Had proper examples been made on the 61.4 accession of the Eta% the last tebellion would have been crushed in its birth. Whence have we so many reports of the weakness of the KING Oely fawn the living monuments of his clemency, or, which is nearly the same, from those who have had to lament its fronts. Both, it is probable, will hence forth learn to speak a little mare respi.ctfully of the paired government of his 'el aJteel v. The Amy cf tl:e Loire stems now to ke corn. pletely dishanded. Many of the men and officers • have arrived in Vat is, sonic requesting tube incorpo reted in the new levies, others to obtain their certifi cates of discheree, that they :nay go home. T::is is a great point Reined; and, on the whole, we have not, since the entrance of the. KING, seen in any day's journals, better evidence of the return of something • like a regular Government than in these before us. What people wish, they often insiet on is at hand. These Journals still talk of the speedy evacuation of Fiance by the allied troops ; and of the integrity of the French Empire bring preserved by the treaty of Peace, which is expected to appear in a few days.— Comparing these statetnepts with the accounts Which reach us from every other quarter, we are inclined to discredit them. France,at least for some time to come, will not be suffered to hold the frontier fortresses.- --Indeed, upon the common principle that the arms of an enemy, when wrested froM him, should either be kept or entirely destroyed, these fortresses, one of the strongest arms of invasion, should, and we hope will, be entirely destroyed. Their neighbours do no; mean to invade them, therefore they are not wanted for deface ; the French profess that s in future th wish to live in peace, therfare they cannot want three fortresses fur lensive cp.ration:. They are, therefore, in-every view, use:err. Let them be razed to their foundations, and you will insure the peace of Europe for many years to come. If suffered to remain, even in the hands of the Allies, they may some day be, seized by force. The post.ibility of this ever hap pening should be prevented by their destruction. • rims, Attcusi• 19. , To.day at four o'clock, at the moment when the Wog was entering his carriage, Madame Labedoyere precipitated hem)! at his Majesty's feet to solicit her husband's pardon. The King answered, that if M. Labedoyete had offended him only,.his pardon would he granted, but that all France loudly demanded the yenaisbment of the man who had drawn upon her all the scourges of aver. Illis Majesty was much affected, and it was easy to ace how much lie suffered at . . being obliged to repress the emotions of his heart. tho King;who knows how to unite goodness with jostle", condescended to promise Madame Labedoyerc his Protection for her and her child. • At six O'clock, at the moment when .the King was • , returning front the Promenade, the mother pf M. Lalibdoyeir . "' WAS in ,the ecitltt.yard of the Castle to ke a new supPli s catikut to his Majesty; . Finding r . " ; ' '• that measures bad been taken to prevent her from penetrating under die vestibule, and to renew a scene equally painful as useless, she retired. She was dressed: in deep mourning. ' • It is generally .believed that The allied troops will begin to evacuate France about the commencement of next month e it is even asserted that they will set out in columns of 25,000 men. This opinion is can nected with another idea which is not less general, which is, that the treaty of Peace is concluded, and that by it the integrity of the French territory is secured. 'The Duke of Wellington yesterday gave a dinner of eighty covers to the Dignitaries and Generals of the allied Sovereigns. The banquet took place at the Hotel of the Duke of Abrantes, in which the saloon is larger and more convenient than that of the Duke of Wellington's. General Dessolle, who had latterly the chief corn. mand of the Royal army, and of the Morbihan, has been at Paris for several days. Marshal Ney arrived this morning at Paris under the escort of two gens d'armes, who travelled in the same carriage with him. He was at first conducted to the Prefecture of the Police, and afterwards to the Conciergerie. It is thopght that Ite will be judged by a Council of Peers. An immense number of fresh English troops have arrived at Montmartre : they are to relieve or rein force the present garrison of that position. Yesterday many soldiers of all arms entered Paris : all appear to be animated with the best spirit, and they assure us that the most perfect order reigns in the army of the Loire. These soldiers proceed tran quilly to the Etat•Major, some to be incorporated in the army, the rest to receive their Conges and to re turn to their departments. M. Fievee, lately appointed 4 Member of the Commission for superintending the Journals, has given in his resignation ! It is said that another member is about to do the same. V tnal FROM TILE JOURNAL DE PARIS. The Duke and Duchess of Angonletne have dis patched messenger: to various quarters to counter mand all the preparations which were making for re joicings on thcir arrival. Yesterday, at half-past three, as his Majesty was passing under the grand vestibule of the Thuilleries to enter his carriage, a friMtii female forced her wAy through the crowd, and precipitated herself at the King's feet. dm Sire," she exclaimed, 4 4 Pardon, par. don !"—She was immediately recognised as Madame Labcdoyere. " Madame," said the King to her, " I know your sentiments and those of your s tonily, and never was it more painful than to be forced to pronounce a refusal."—Madame LabedaYere fai The people around hastened to give her all th. as sistance which her situation required. The King entered his carriage with visible emotion, stud all the spectators of this affecting scene wcie convinced that ins Majesty had performa the must painful duty of Royalty. .1 LAbcdoyere suffered his punishment at half-past six in the evening : he was escorted to the plain of Grenelle by a strong detachment of gead'armerie: when he arrived at the place of execution, he threw himself on his knees and received the benediction of the Confessor who accompanied him. Instantly and without waiting, according to custom, until his eyes were bandaged, he firmly advanced a few paces in front of the veterans who were to fire upon him, it claiming-44 Above all, do cot miss me"—(Sarfave ne we minguez pall He was then shot. The courage with which a French Officer meets death ought not to surprise any person, but even this very courage makes us regret the great error which has deprived his country of it. PROM THR JOURNAL DES MOAT& . Colonel Labedoyere suffered his ptinishment today in the Plain de Grenelle. He left the Abbaye at half past five. He was accompanied by M. Dolan delle, Almoner of the Demur Comfits: of the Rue St. Jacques. The Prussian corps &armee under General Tanen. zien, has arrived in the environs of Paris. This corps will be immediately reviewed near St. Germain, and will afterwards proceed into 4retagne s to take u p cantonments there. COUNCIL OP REVISION. DEFINITIVE JUDLINIENT UN C'►LoNItL LABEDOYE.RE. Last night, and not sooner, the Council of ltevi. sion was summoned for eight o'clock this morning.. The new Council for the accused were M. de Joly, Advocate of the Council, and M.lMauguin, Advocate. The Council itself was composed of Baron de Couchy, Marcchal de Carnp, two Colonels, and two Captains: M. Ricard, Commissary Ordonnitent, performing the functions of the public ministry, made the clerk read all the former procedure. The Judge Reporter then observed, that after an attentive examination of these papers he did not think there were suilicient grounds for annulling the judgment. _ _ _ - M. MAuGutiv, on the part of Labedoyere, in a speech of two hours, detailed numerous nullities aris lag front the incompetency of the Councils Of War of the First Division in General, sod of the Secogd Division in particular, and insisted on variotri formal iiMissions.—" I shall not attempt," he said, " to dis- Tulpaia my client from all the facts with which he is charged. Placed in one of those estraprdinary posi- lions, ftappily so rare in the histoiy of nati o n s an d o f 4ings, the Monarch had to choose between pardon and yustice.: This choice A s been madi, and M. Labedoyere was brought 're 'yo u .!" ' ~. In examining, if the Council of War *as regularly • • • • • konstittited by the Ordonnanee of the King of the 2d of August, M. Mauguin did not .dissemble that he broached a delicate question. He reminded the. Council, that the Court of Appeal of Rennes dared to declare, that Imperial Decrees. affecting mea sures of general interest, Were not obligatory. It is true that this ariet .was, annulled by the Court of Caseation, hitt this was in virtue of an equivocal ar ticle in the Constitution of the year VIII. which con tained oblique dispositions in favour of despotism. According to the Advocate's system. the natural Judges of the accused were those of the 7th division. lie might have been sent before the first division, because there were no more Councils of War orga nized at Grenoble, but the King of himself alone had not the right to do this, It required sq . ortio Ia n the Judges of the Court of Caseation, and perhaps even a I,W emanating from the three legislative branches. I , gym supposing thatthe King could legally have sent the accused before the Permanent Council of War, how came the Governor of the Division to take upon him to designate the Second Council instead of the First ? Was it not the latter which the Cirdon nance seemed to indicate by the vagueness of its expression ?" Passing afterwards to the nollities of form, M. Mauguin sought to establish, Ist, That the second Council of War had contravened the law in not spe cifying in its/teem verb/. the time t,f its meeting. 2. That the heating of the witnesses was not re. gulAr : the sentence does not chew that they were heard separately s an oath was not exacted from them, but merely a simple promise to speak the truth. They have not declared if they were relations or connec tions of the accuser. 3. The defen c e of the accused was not complete : 1 it is a matter of public notoriety that he w.ts inter rupted in the midst of his discourse : he was not per mittrd to justify his intentions, although the tribunals for the appreciation of crimes are obliged tw examine not only the fact, but the intention which may render him culpable. 4. Witnesses in exculpation were refused to be heard. Here the President interrupted the Counsel, and asked if the accused had cited or designmed any wit ,iesses by same ? M. Mauguin admittcd*that he had He then pleaded a misnomer. The accused was named Charles-Angelique Franc 'is, whereas in the documents he was Galled Charles An schism only. The most interesting part of the discussion turned lon the point whether the Ordonnance of the 6:11 of March was applicable ? The rigorous dispositions of pia ordrionance seemed to be softened by that of the 13d, and particul.trly by the proclamation which the King issued from Ciimbrai on the 27th of June, on his Lite entrance into France. In this proclamation the King announces his intention of giving np to the Tribunals only the "authors and instriasors" of, the hors ible plot which brought Bonaparte back to France. " The Council has used the vague expressions of treason and rebellions and k ought to have declared expressly that Colonel Labedoyere was the author, or instigator of these crimes." .. 8 M. Rivard, Procurator for the King, refuted all these nullities seriafia. There was no incompetence, he said, in the second Council sitting at Paris. A formal law gives to the Minister of War the right, when there is no Council established in a Division, to send the accused before such other Council as he may think proper. The King, aforriori, has this power. As to the transfer of the cause to the second Coun cil, in preference to the first, Count :Itasca had a right to do so. The other nullities did not appear, in the spirit of the military laws, of sufficient weight to warrant the reversal of the sentence. He therefore demanded its confirmation. The Council retired at twelve o'clock to deliberate. At one therfollowing judgment was deliveted " Considering that the second Council pf War was competent, that the information and instruction were regularly drawn up and the law well applied, we de clare unanimously that the above judgment is con. firmed, and that it shall have its foil and entire execution." [MR THE GAZETTE MICELLE.] " Loins, &c. so Wishing to give to our people a new proof of the desire we have of laying the foundation, in a per manent manner, of the institutions which are the bases of the Constitution we have given, and which we reg . trd as the best adapted for their happiness : Convinced that nothing consolidaes more the repose of States than that iiiheritauce of sentiments which apaches itself in families to the inheritance of public functions, and which thus creates an i iina.tci r-Upted succession of subjects whose fidelity and devo. tion to the Prince and the country are perpetuated by the examples and the principles which they have re ceived from their ancestors. " For these reasons, and, in virtue of the 27th Article of the Charter,' we have declared as follows : " Article I. The dignity of Peer Is and shall ctintlnue beredii , tary, from male to.male, in the order of primogeniture In the families which now compose our Chamber of Peers. " Art... The same prerogative is granted to all Peen who .hall be created hereafter. " Art. 3.

The same official Paper contains an Ordinance, ratifying all transactions. made between the Use r . per's Government and individuals for the supply of ammunition and provisions to the rebel army. and ordering payment accordingly. The affair of Labedoyete is thus duly recorded is the s.tme paper Colonel Lebeduyere has been condemned to capital punishruest by the Second Council of War. of the First Military Division.

For this purpose some of the National Guards wen. to have been bribed to seize the persons of the KUNO his family, to put them into two carriages, aild cm. vey them to the Castle of Vincennes.
