HAVING the decided preference over every other, they respectfully recommend to the Nubility and Gentry the most fashionable, and chiefly in demand, of which they are either the Pro. prietors, sole Agents, or Importers, viz : JEAN DEVEREAUX'S KALYDOR LOTION, preserves the skin and complexion in pure whiteness, and healthy bloom, against every assaliment of time, climate, and defect. It eradicates all erup tions, tan sun-burn, or redness : imparts to the face a roseate bloom, and sustains the attractions of loveliness and beauty, to a remote pe riod of life ; gives immediate and soothing relief in cases of parched skin, stings of insects, or any inflammation ; it allays the smarting irri tability of the skin, producing a delightful and pleasing coolness, truly comfortable and refreshing, and thus prevents those disorders which disorganize the beauty of the female countenance; it imparts a match less and pleasing appearance to the complexion, preserving firmly the facinations of loveliness, and guarding them against decay to the re motest period of life. De eeeee ux s Kalydor is patronised by bee Majesty, and all the female nobility of England, and recommended by most eminent physicians. Price 'is. or a large bottle containing two small ones, 101.6 d. each. Sample bottles, %s. 6d. each.

The genuine Kalydor is prepared solely by Jean Devereaux, and sold in London only by Messrs. Price and Gosnell, Perfumers to the Royal Family, 160, Regent-street (the sole proprietors of Mons Jean De vereaux's French Perfumery).

Can you tell us who ordered the troops of Tmeteville and St. Omer to march to Paris ? No ; besides those orders were not suhmitted to the Council.--Were not the largesses distributed to the troops intended to induce them to fire upon the people ? Ido not know—Had not the Council resolved upon re-establishing the Coors Prevotales ? No.— Had not the Council likewise decided upon the arresting a certain num. her of Deputies ? No, never at any period. neither in regard to the Deputies nor any one else. COUNT DR GUERNON-RANVILLE What is your surname,Christian name, your age and quality ? Martial Conse.Annibel Perpetue Magloire, Count Gatemen de Renville, 43 1 years of age, ex-Minister, Deputy of Maine et Loire.—Can you tell who is the author of the reports to the King ? No. I cannot this ig the fact which does not concern myself in particular, and I cannot re. veal the secrets of the King's council. Did you participate in the ord:. names for the suppression of the freedom of the press, and the establish ment of a new electoral system ? I never made any difference between public and private morility. The King could not overthrow the con. Misdate] charter without viol atimg his oaths, and this consideration alone induced me to oppose the ordinance concerning the new system of election. As for the ordinance en the press, though it was only intended toonspend the execution of • law, a usenenre which, in mos of ur gency, and when the safety of the state requires ft, seems to me not to exceed the limits of the royal prerogative, I also opposed it. because I did not think that the case of urgency did really exist ; and I, consequently, proposed to the council to let the Chamber' assemble on the 3d day of August, and then to lay before them those ameliorations which our legislation on the press required.— At what period were the report and the ordinances first planned ? I believe, though I cannot affirm positively, that the principles on which the ordinances are grounded was proposed, for the first time, in a cabinet council held between the 10th and the 15th of July. In regard to the report, the whole of it was only read to the Council on the 25th of July, the same day that we signed the ordinances.—Cam you tell us who first made that proposition between the 10th and 15th of July ? I cannot answer this question.—.As you intended to dissolve the Elective Chamber, and suspend the Charter, why did you lame the letters of convocation ? I believe that the distribution of the writs took plan in consequence of an error of the bureau:.—Why was the Duke of invested with the command of the first military division on the 27th of July ? I believe it was because the troubles began on that day. Do you know what were his instructions ? No, but they were of a very moderate nature, for in the different orders I heard him give, be always recommended not to make use of force, unless it became necessary he self-defence.—Do you know who gave the order to fire on the people on the 27th of July ? No.—Did you advise the measure which placed Paris in a state of siege ? I did not attend any deliberation relative to that subject.—Are you not acquainted with any extraordinary Im poses given to the troops to induce them to fire on the people ? No; Ido not know of any determination of that kind. Had not the Coun cil resolved upon re-establishing the Prevotal Courts? No.—llad not the Council also decided upon the arrest of a great number of Deputies and other persons ? No; never any such proposition was made in the Council, sad I do not think that any one ever thought of it. XL. DE CHAINITILAUSE• What is your surname, yont Christian name, your age, and quality ? Jean Claude Balthusr Victor tie Chantelause, 43 years of age, ex illinkter and Deputy.—Can you tell who is the author of the report to the King ? 1 ant well aware of the importance of this question : but I do not hesitate to declare with sincerity that I am the sole author of that report. I shall add that I did it in consequence of the orders of the King, and at the request of the Council, and that it followed, but did not precede, the measures which gave rise to the Ordinances of the 25th July.--Can you let us know at what period the plan of the report and of the Ordinances of the 2,3 th Julywas first formed ? I shall divide the question. The report was a mere matter of form, destined for the public. and quite distinct from the measures in question. In regard to the measures themselves,they were only adopted, a. far as 1 can pre. elsely remember, after the 10th of July, or towards the middle of th a t month ; they were subservient to the definitive result of the elections._ Who Is the first author of the above plan? The Council.—Do too know who gave the order to fire on the people, 27th of July? No. Do you know who ordered the troops of Luneville and St. Outer to march to Paris ? The Council did not deliberate on that subjeet.—Were not extraordinary largesse' distributed to the soldier to induce them to fire on the people ? I was told that a largess, amounting to a half of their pay. had been given to them, but I became acquainted with this fact only after the measure had been put in execution. The Council was not consulted, and I do not know who urged the measure.—Do you know if the establishment of the Cans Pr4votales had not been re solved upon by the Council ? No ; and I maintain that no measure of that kind was adopted.—llad not the Council decided that a certain number of Deputies and some other persons, should be arr e s t ed ? N o deliberation took pl ace in the Council on that subject. (SECOND INTESSOOATONT, SEPT. 9, 1830.) (Tbe principal queries alone are given of this second Interrogatory.) c:IIINCE DE POLIONAO Who advised the K gto form the Ministry of the Bth of August ? I have no reply to make to that question : I was called by the King to fulfil the functions of Minister.—Can you tell us who advised and wrote the speech pronounced by the King at the opening of the preceding session I The determination was taken in the Council, and as the greatest secrecy ought to be observed relative to all that took place in the King's Council, It is impossible for me to answer that question.— Who suggested and dictated the answer of the King to the Address of the Chamber ? I can but make the same reply to all questions of this nature.—You said in your letter to the Commission, that when on the 28th of July several deputies went to the head.quartera of the staff, you agreed with Marshal Ragusa to write to the King. Did you do it, and what was the King's answer ? I did write to the King, and the Duke de Ragusa wrote also ' • but he did not communicate the Princ e ' s answer to me. Whenever I shall be interrogated on what the King may, have said or written to me, a feeling of respect and honour will oblige me I to observe the most profound silence.—During the days of the 26th, 2701 and 28th, was the King informed of what took plac e in P ar i s ? Th e Marshal told me that he gave a regular account to the Prince. As for myself, I ant not acquainted with any of the military movements which took place on both sides in the streets of Paris. Is it true that you ordered the neighbourhood of Neuilly to be watched closely ? This fact is quite false. You said in your letter to the Commission that on the morning of the 20th you went to St. Cloud, and engaged the King to annul the Ordinances, and to send M. de Morteniart to Paris, to in. form the city of this measure. What was the result of your journey to St. Cloud ? The King accepted our resignations, and withdrew the Ordinances. I introduced the Duke of Mortemart to his Majesty; I left hint in the Cabinet, and from that moment I was a perfect stranger to all that took place.—ln consequence of Paris being declared in a Late of siege, it appears from the 28th of July preparations had been mak ing in the Department of the Under Secretary of State for War, in order to organize a Council of War or Military Commission; did you give any orders towards its being organised ? None. I was a perfect strange' to all that was done, or that could be done in that respect, as well as to all that during the three days at Paris.-31. Lisnire, an inventor of comt s et e itile projectiles, was, it is believed, desired by se veral Ministers to furnish these projectiles, that use might he made of them againq Park on the days of the 27th and 28th ofJuly. Had you any knowledge of this ? This fact is unfounded. i never knew any me of that name. I have just read his petition to the Chamber ;it contains nothing but infamous calumnies. Hat! the King other Coon. eillors besides his Ministers? I know of no one. TOF; COUNT DE PRYHONNRT. Was it you who suggested and composed the proclamation of the king to the electors ? I ivo not the author, but the publisher of it. I had projected one, but another member of the council read another, which was preferred to mine. It was :wished, nevotheles-, that sonic climate should be made in it, and I made tbem. Who is the author of the ordinance of the 25th of July, relating to a new electoral system ? The idea belongs to the council ; the composi. Lion was mine thr the most part. Was the council unanimous with re gard to the adoption of the onlinsnces ? I think my honour engaged to telt sou that I tear it would be breaking m y oath, were I to reveal th e deliberations of the co unc il. I n case that the council had not been una. nimous, are you not afraid of being wanting in your duty to those of your former colleagues who opposed the oedinanees ? I rather fear that I should fail in my duty •owertis them by giving, for instance, ex. plane ions which would be personally favourable to melf. Besides,. by the signature of tile ordinances , there was, at least In that mantes, an appearance of unanimity. There had been before, no doubt, sone discussion, and of Course a difference of opinion. It would appear Iran your answer that the explanations you might give would be favourable to you , did you differ front your colleagues? You bare many means of acquiring the truth upon nits point, without it. being necessary for me to give the explanation you demand. We understand the feeling which has dietattil your answer, and we will merely ask you if AI. Chemin de Renville dissented from his colleagues? AI. Ciuernon de • Ra•tville did, in feet, agree% in the two councils of which I have spoken, opinions at variance with the system that prevailed. M U. wile, the Inventor of seentioatitile projectile*, 14.1.1111 that he was desired by several Walston to futitiali onjectiles, to be used against the dip of Paris en the day. of the Nib. nth. anti 28th of July.

TRIAL OF THE FRENCH EX.MINISTERS. COURT OF PEERS.. TRIAL OF THE EX-MINISTERS DE FETRONNET, DE POLIONAC, DE CHANTELAUZE, AND DE OUIRNON- RANVILLE. Ca As important historical State documents, we think it right to recur to the following condensation of the examinations, which comprehends what forms the basis, of the impeachment of the late Ministers in France. LIAMMATION Or THE Panics Di POLIONAC. What are your names, surnames, your age, and rank in life ? My name is Augustus Julius-Armand-31mi, Prince de Polignac. lam Mt yeara of age. I acknowledge that the signature at the foot of the report to the King, which preceded and called forth the Ordinances of the 95th July last, is in my hand writing. The signature to the Ordinance for sus pending the liberty of the Press is also my writing._ Do you acknowledge ' having signed the Ordinance which declared Paris to be in a state of sine Yes.—Do you admit having signed the original copy of the Ordinance for dissolving the Chamber of Deputies, the duplicate of which is now before you, signed "Fur • similar copy, Count Peyton. net ?" I believe I may state that I neither signed the copy nor the original.—Here is an ordinance, of which we have only a copy, signed Count Peyronuet, and relative to the introduction of a new decimal system ; did you sign the original ? I recollect having signed it ; but I did not sign the ordinance relative to the summoning the new Electoral Colleges made out by Peyronnet.—Have you interfered in the Ordi. minces which did not bear your signature? I have participated in them, inasmuch as that I was one of the Council of Ministers.—Who was the per- 1 son who drew up the Report to the King which preceded the Ordinances? I cannot name who it was.—At what period was the plan of the report and the Ordinances formed? A few days before their publication; I can not tell who was the author of this plan.—Why (having the intention of dissolving the Chamber of Deputies and suspending the Charter) did' you cause to b: distributed sealed letters to the Members of both Chant. ben ? I declare that I bad no knowledge of the sending of those sealed, letters. and only knew of it upon the receipt of the lured letter, which had been forwarded to me as a member of the Chamber of Peers. I ought to observe that I never had the lent intention of suspending the charter..—Why was the command of the First Military Division en trusted to the !bike of Ragusa from the 25th of July ? This command was intended for the Duke of Ragusa for a long time previously. It I was given to him because 6CD. Ceutard had left Pat is to attend the elections, and was to go to a watering-place for some months as soon as i they were concluded.— What instructions were !given to the Marshal ? None—Do you know, Sir, who gave the order foe Sting upon the people ? Ido not know who it was, but I can declare that I beard the l Marshal order not to tire until the people had first fired on the troops. I did not advise that l'aris should be placed in a state of siege, but I I was told that the thing was legal, and It remained in the hands of the Marshal. 1 cannot say who induced me to countersign the Ordinance. I . —Who gave orders tor the troops of the camps of Luneville and St. 'Omer to come to Paris ? 1, as Minister of War, and acting upon the king's order, sent directions fur breaking up the camps at Luneville and St. Omer, and for the troops not to march to Paris, hut to St. Cloud, to' be near the king.—Have you not given large sums to the troops to in. duce them to fire upon the people ? No. I gave no such orders ; I am aware that money was distributed to them, not to make them fire on the people, but to obtain their immediate assistance for the other 1 troops, who were much pressed. I cannot exactly say on what day this money was distributed, nor do I know what sums were given. I cannot say from what fund the money was taken, but I am certain it did not come from the Civil List. lam not able to state who signed the ostler for this distribution.— Did you not propose at the Council that the Courts-marshal be re-established? No; that is entirely false ; it was not even spoken of at the Council.—Was it not decided that a great number of Deputies should be arrested? No; that_is equally false. COUNT DE PETRONNET. What is your surname, Christian name, your age, and quality ? Pierre Denis, Count de P e yronn e t, fif t y- two y ears of age.--tatt the same time N. de Peyrounet, before the interrogatory began, observed that lie should make use of legal reserve on all questions which might prove prejudicial to the general issue of the cause. In answer to the first question, he acknowledged his signature to the several otdinances.) Can you tell the author of the report to the Ring ? I am not the author of it. Ilad you any share in the report ? No ; I merely adhered to it. Had you any share in the ordinance concerning the suspension of the periodical press? I am not the author of the ordinance, but I ad• hered to it. Can you tell us who is the author of it it It is not pro per that I should tell you.

Nu; I ought not to tell you.— A• what period was the plan of the Report and of the Ordinances firs. conceiveci Ido not know when the plan was first proposed, but as to its adoption, it only took plate a few days before the 26th of July._ Who ate the authors of that plan ? The fact is that I cannot tell you, for I do not know myself. —l)u you know what instructions were given to the Duke de Ragusa ? I not only had no share in them. but they are positively unknown to me up to the present moment —Who gave the order to fire upon the people on the 27th of July ? Ido not bow. • 31. PqronLct seem* to indicate that he did not approve of the plan. M. DE CHANTLLAUZE. Do you know if your entry into the ministry arose Sam the de dr of changing the political eastern of the administration? you know who pre orders for the arrest of several persons on the day of rite 27th ?

I know nothing respecting them a-td this name is perfectly unknown to me.—Do you know whether tl e King consulted other councillors besides his minister. ? Ido not know.—can you give any details respecting your joining the mir.istry ? I always felt a r•- pugnance to accept dose high functions. flaying been named towards the 15th or 16th of August Minister for Eccissiastical AtEtirs and Pub. lic Instructim4l refused, and was fortunate enough to have my niu..al accepted. I manifested the same repugnance, and expressed the ssme leftists!, on being named Utterly Keeper of the Seals. New circumstances prevented me from being free to persist in this resolution. DEPOSITIONS OF THE WITNESSES. In the STAR of yesterday we gave a condensed account of the depo sitions of Helmet, Riehehourg, Lane. Arago. and Rayfux ; as ;le wise the subsumes of the most important—namely, that of Louis lie Itounsierouski,aide.de-eamp to the Duke of Ragusa (3larmont.) We now subjoin two more of the most striking evidences viz : CASIMIR PIERRE FERLEIL Aged fißy.two, Deputy of the Seine, residing rue Neuve de Luxem bourg. On Tuesday, the 27th of July, a first meeting of the deputise, who were in Paris, took place at my house ; it was at this meeting that the protestation, which afterwards appeared in the journals, was aAr. to. During this meeting, some groups had been formed at the disir •.f ii.v house; they were dispersed by the fire of the gendarmes,which wiii.t.tied weevil young men, but the armed force did not attempt to cuter my dwelling. Nevertheless, as several guardhouses were in the n e ighb ou r. hood, we thought it would be preferable to cllonse anotiu r place for oar meetings; arid we fixed upon the house of 31. A. tie Puyraveau, fir the next day. In the mating which took place on ‘Vednestlay at that Deputy's, five members were chosen from the assembly, to proceed to the Duke of Hague*, in order, if possible. to obtain the cessation of the fire, and to make arrangements which might conciliate the principles that we supported with the interest of the authority that had violateu them. The five Deputies were Messrs. Gerard, Lafiqe, :Mangum, Count Lobau, ar.d myself. 31. Latitte was charged to speak for us. On arriving at the Tuilaies Leman one and two o'clock, we met Baron de Glandlves, who hastened to give us every facility possible if obtaining an interview with the Duke de Ragusa. The Marshal ex pressed satisfaction at the step we had taken. We detailed our coin. plaints', which bore in particular upon tile illegality of the ordinances, on the violent attack on the population, and on the town being declared in a state of siege without any intimation of it having been gin II to the inhabitants. The Mahal appeared astonished that the neeess4cy measuresitad not been taken to give notice to the poi els. ion. He sp. Feared alio greatly afflicted at his own situation lie sibs, rv. dto us, that that situation was connected with a point of honour—that he had done all in his power toavoid the evil, - but that, haring been att..ciCed, he enuld mit but defend himselt. We in our turn remarked, that the aggressii 1, hail out arisen from the inhabitants, but that discharges had been male upon them with ou t provocation. We proclaimed also a desire to attain conjiation between the panics. lie was also inclined to it, but In.fose.l - 3tiiii he demanded that the submission of the inhabitants should he absolute, and he requested us to employ oar influence with them. We replied, that we could not hope for any. if we did not proclaim as the basis of the reconciliation the revocation of the ordinances and the dismissal et the ministers. Before any steps were taken, it was necessary that this should be done. The Marshal declar e d iet he could take noihnz upon his own responsibility, hut that he would inf.nn the King of our proceeding, and that he would entreat its being taken into contd. derarion ; but that. in his opinion, there was nothing to he horti fir horn it. Many of my colleagues understood thnt an answ r was lit 't• given to us, but I ant not certain that the Marshal i'.ll re.:lly say that this answer should be made. I ant only sure that he promises! .0 in. form the King of our proposals. An aitl.de-camp having untried, ct .1 annoys. d for some time with the Marshal after he had I.R. tht asked us if we should feel any repugnance to ace Ole Prince the nee? We replied, that being charged with an ittiairtaiit mis • in the irrerest of the country, we could have no repugnance to see 31. de Polignite. The Marshal proceeded to the cabinet, where, I believe, die Ministers were assembled, and, on his return, some minute,. afrerwauls, lie told us, that having informed 31. de Polignac of the conditions to which we attached the use of our influence with the people, the Minister had replied th a t h e considered it us e l ess t o see us, and that we might withdraw. We did withdraw, and on going out we met 31. tie Lamehe Jacquelin, who told us that the Ptinee de Polignac was expecting us. We observed to him that he was most pro bably in error.. and he returned to know from the Minister it such were the fact; he informed us, that in reality the Prince no Lager desired to see us We received no answer that evening to the OVCVUTCM Wl' hait made. 1 have since beard that orders had been given, but I do not know exactly at what time, to arrest several persons whose m oues t ea .,, ct mention, as 1 did not know them, but 1 have rothing to state in Otis respect from my personal knowledge. 1 have been told that the Doke de itagusa sent an aide-descansp to 31. de Foncauld to prevent t Ilise arrests from taking place. I have been also told that at the • that the King received the report of the Duke de Ragusa, alter our confer. ence with him, he was informed that we had been all five arrested. Rut I depose to these tacts merely upon hearsay, as I have no pi:rem:at I knowledge of them. Fur a more circumstantial account of the hies, and of the words that paned between us and the Marshal, I refer to the declarations which will be made by M. Laflue, who, having been the speaker, can give a greater detail of our interview. FRANCIS DI AUGUIN, aged 46, Deputy of the Cote d'Or, residing in the Rue de Give Chenit, No. t. At the time of the elections of Paris, which preceded the ordinances of July, 1 had the intention to go and take the waters, which the scan of my health rendered then indiepenitable I had even ordered post. horses to be in readiness to stet on the 19th of July, the day of the el e• dons, immediately after having given my vote. When I vend, 31. Virasal was at the effice of the college. I informed him of my been don of travelling, and of being back in Paris shortly after the open.og of the Chambers. Ile said that I was wrong in leaving Paris, MS mi nisters were preparing a coup or eta ; he communicated to me the whore plan of the ordinances, adding, that he held the information tioin a friend who was generally well informed. Thie friend had fixed the 25th or 26th as the period for the publication of the ordinance , . Notwith mending this advice, I persisted in my determination to depart; 1 re turned home, and, at about half.past 11, the horses having been put to the carriage, I was preparing to set off, when two persons, upon whose information 1 knew I could depend, arrived at my house. and induced me to defer my departure, announcing to me, as certain, that a coup d'etot was in preparation. The details they gave me determined me upon remaining, and the horses were unbar nemed ; I retired to my country house, near St. Germain, where I re mained until Monday, the 26th of July. I was still there on the evening of the same day, when, having hand by a person arrived from Paris tnaetlie ordinances had been published in the 411oriileur of it at morning, and that they had excited considerable excitement, I consi. dered it as my duty to return immediately. I arrived at my house at I nine o'clock, and had scarcely entered, when a person whose (*Moil I was quite royalist, came to me and induced me to return to the coite. try, telling um thar *even' deputies were to be arrested that very tyre. ing. It has been inimealble for me since to ascertain if this intor. illation was emrect. On Wednesday it was said that several arrests ! were to take place. This measure appeared very probable, but we not with no indention of its having been decided upon. On Tuesday. !having learnt that a meeting was to be held at M. Casimir PeilerN, went there about two o'clock. (h. arriving I saw a great hustle in the giard.house,whieh had been sunieeed the evening hermit the rep deuce lof 91. de Polignac.
