SS On amount of $ heavy press of matter, $ notice, already in type of " The Anger* of the Alps," and other matter, are necessarily post poned till to-morrow. This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office from Major-General Sir Htta.oa.ova Tvnirta, Governor of Bermuda, dated the 4th of November ; and from Major-General Sir P. M•ITLAWD, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, dated Halifax, the 25tb, following. Privets letters in town, from various parts of the north of Europe, which we have perused this day, convey a variety of articles of interesting intelligence. We find one state ment among these, that CLOPICKI, the Polish Dictator, has ordered, a u pain of death, that no invasion of the neigh bouring states should take place. The intelligence from France is once more alarming, to all who are interested in the cause of justice, and all who are interested, that the grand cause of popular liberty may not receive again a vital stab, from those hands which have been the cause of its present triumph.—Ever since the capture of the Ex-Ministers of the exiled CH mites the Tenth, our Readers must do us the justice to say, that we have earnestly advocated the propriety of not visiting, with the barbarous punish ment of death, those Ministers who had been the proxi mate cause of civil disasters in France. We say, the proximate cause, as we conceive there were distant causes of the convulsions which took place in France, which were only superseded, or called into energy, a little sooner on that occasion, than they would have been in the more usual course of events. CH ARLES the TENTH, and his luckless advisers, have been the originators—not of the entire advance which popular influence has obtained in Francs— not of that which was certain, and which was de sirable—but of that hazardous, incalculable portion of the popular influence, which has its source in passion, more than reason. If the KING and his Ministers merit punishment, we maintain they merit it more from the hands of the advocates sod supporters of the old governments of Europe, than from those who are contemplating to inflict it. Who have called forth, by their acts, the enthusiasm against what has been termed legitimacy ? CHARLES the Tenth and his ministers. —Who proximately caused the popular explosions at Brus sels and Warsaw ?—CH• REES the Tenth and his ministers. Who have prematurely occasioned the present alarming ex pression of popular impatience in England ? CHARLES X. and his Ministers. Who, we may say, have changed our Administration ? CHARLES X. and his Ministers. Who will prove to have been the proximate cause of farther revolations in Italy, and probably throughout all the states of Europe ? CHARLES X. and his Ministers. If there be any evil to mankind, in all these con sequences, it is derivable from CHARLES THE TENTH and his Ministers. If there be any good, to them likewise mast it be attributed. Human beings, so influentially placed, cannot but be considered as instruments in the scheme of Providence, to accomplish great changes in mundane affairs, and that progress of man towards—not an infinite—but in definite perfection, which appears the human destiny. The trial of the prisoners entitles them, according to the usual principles of justice, to an acquittal of that high culpa bility to which death has been—we maintain barbarously—at tached. They were wrong in policy : but, probably, intended as little bloodshed to the Parisians, as KING PH ILIP and General LA T•TETTE now contemplate, and may be compelled justifiably, in our opinion, to occasion. In the House of Lords last night, the most important buai ness was the introduction of a bill, to prevent debtors defraud ing their creditors, by remaining in prison. As is described by a morning cotemporary, the object of LordW T i FORD is to pat an end to the abuse of persons leading luxurious lires,on that which ought to belong to their creditors. The Bill was read a first time, and the House adjourned. The proceedings in the House of Commons were important, inasmuch as they indicate the growing advocacy of election by ballot. Pointed reference, in the course of an ani mated debate, was again made to the recent elections at Liverpool and Preston ; and Mr. Hums reiterated his firm conviction, that nothing less than vote by ballot would accomplish the reform which is loudly called for. Mr. Tanutsow feared that reform would be so long delayed,' as to endanger the institutions of the country. On the other rind, Sir R Leon protested that the *pont of ballot " was the fester-nurse of pile and perfidy." Mr. gooneys a, Mr. HAILVair, Mr. Warrsati; end ils.'ArrarooD. , all concurrel in th e d ec id e d o pi n i o n; o f tbe, necess i ty of I,e, A speedy and effectual reform ; and this interesting debate was clotted by Mr. CUATTIS declaring his conviction, that the majority of the pimple, throughout the country, was not in favour of vote by ballot. After some other nnimportant business, carried on in a very thin attendance, the House adjourned till Thursday. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EICLUSIYE. PARIS, DEC. 90. SI R—Tbe all-absorbing interest of the pending trial is such, that scarcely any other object is the subject of con versation in the beet-informed political circles. From the previous examination taken and published, in conformity with the laws of this kingdom, little information can be expected to be elicited during their progress. Some readers will observe, that the functions imposed upon the President, are widely different from our ideas of judicial forms. The above-named officer seems rather to act as public prosecutor, by demanding such questions, as lead to a conviction of guilt on the part of the prisoners. The object is to obtain the developement of truth, and perhaps it is inconsequen tial how that important object is obtained ; but to our ideas, it conveys a sense of hardship, to see the Court in array against the culprits, instead of being advocates for them, as invariably is the case in British jurisprudence. Hitherto the progress of the solemn investigation has unfolded more weakness than wickedness. The designs, the long-fostered plans, seem to be attributable to him, whose future sway, and that of his posterity, was to benefit by their execution. The exiled Monarch, no doubt, backed by his spiritual guide and confessor, who cunningly played the wires of the puppet in the foreground, appears to have had far more obstinacy and disregard of human sacrifice, than Marmont, although long used to the horrors ef war fare. The directions given by this reckless devotee to the Marshal, to concentrate his forces, and to act by masses, repeating the latter term frequently, will descend to after times, and give the idea, that Charles the Tenth imme diately succeeded his namesake the Ninth, who gave similar instructions during the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Who could suppose that ages of light and civilizstion had inter vened, and the same bloody and barbarous orders could have been given in 1830, that disgraced the dark and higotted era of the former? What an unhappy illustration is this evidence of the asseverations of the Duke de Fittames, in the Chamber of Peers, and the protestations of M. de Mar tignac to the Deputies, of the mild and merciful nature of the late sovereign ? How strenuously did they both declaim that he may have been misled, but that his heart was im bued with the love of his subjects. What a disgusting, and at the same time farcical picture does it publish to the world, of the absurd etiquette of the old Court ? While hundreds were falling, while the Crown was at stake, where every second was precious, the Court ceremonial was adhered to, of waiting 20 minutes, after his Majesty had received his dispatches. How calmly the order was issued for the next day's shooting ! And then the total amount of preparation for any resistance on the part of the insulted majesty of the people! The full assurance seems to have occupied the wind of the King, and some of his ministers, that he might assume for his decree, Sic vole, sic jubeo, as a motto, and that his sub jects, awe-struck, would crouch as a hound beneath the lash, and not dare to lift an expostulary eye, to him en throned above them. The possibility of resistance does not seem to have been contemplated, and no sooner did this manifest itself, than suites qui ;Peet, was the cry of every individual connected with the Government ; and the fierce, and active population were masters of the city, without any authority legally empowered to take the helm of affairs. The French nation, which yields to none in its bravery and ar dour of attacks, seems particularly liable to panic, upon an unexpected obstruction, and to give up all for lost, if vic tory inclines her /Egli; upon the opposing side. Here all was confusion, every one acted upon his own responsibility and views of the case; and Polignac appears to have per sisted to the very last, and to have received with hostility, the voluntary visit to the King, of M. de Semouville, and d'Argent, who persisted in informing that infatuated man of the whole truth, supposing that the real state of the metro polis had been been studiously concealed from him. From the copious accounts published of this important trial, you will have an opportunity of forming your own opinions. The general idea that prevails here is, that the investigation is proceeding favourably to the inculpated par ties; and Marmont does not appear to be that monster of cruelty that he was at first represented. Placed in a situa tion of unexampled difficulty, be seems to have " borne his faculties as meekly," consistent with military honour, as expected. Never could man better apply to himself the line—" Incidit, in scyllam, qui vult vitare Charybdim"— than himself. With a precipice on one side, and a gulph on the other, it was difficult to guide his steps. The reports flying about, as to the probable termination of this important event, are too numerous to be mentioned. No one seems to anticipate an acquittal ; although the doctrine of constructive treason is so imperfectly defined. Many think that Polig nee must fall a sacrifice, if not to stern justice, at least to glut the popular cry of vengeance. The populace are most indignant with him. He is looked upon as a determined plotter, whom no mercy will ever turn from the conspira cies, in which his life has been employed. Some anticipate, that he will be executed the same night on which sentence is passed. It must be recollected that there is no appeal, and that sentence must be carried into effect within twenty four hours after its delivery. Five-eighths of the Peers must coincide with the verdict. It is supposed by some, that at the conclusion of the trial, they will be conveyed to Vincennes, as a place of security, and that the sentence will not be prostulgated for some months, that the popular fer ment may have more time to subside. All is perfectly quiet, and not the least disposition in any manner tum.ultuary has yet been evinced. Great crowds assemble daily before the Luxembourg, but curiosity seems to be their principal object. I am, Sir, Yours, J. H. N. B. In the absence of direct communication, all the accounts we receive through Germany and Prussia, of the movements at Warsaw, are highly satisfactory. Constantine is retiring upon Russia, under the safeguard of an armis tice, and the dame seems to spread into Lithuania and Gallicia. Nicholas threatens to exterminate the very name of Pots, but may find that twenty millions of freemen are not to be crushed by an Imperial edict.

TRIAL OF THR RIC-MINISTERS.-FIFTH DAT COURT OF PERM, SUIDAT, Dm 19. As this important trial is to be conducted without any adjournment. the Court punned its business through the Sabbath-day. At ten o'clock the President and Peers took their maul, and the prisoners were introduced. DEFENCE OF COUNT PETRONNET. The Coun t read his own defence in the most impressive manner.— He commenced by an affecting appeal to the justice and generosity of his judges to hear him with patience, and make a proper consideration for the circumstances of his eventful and unfortunate life. In allusion to the kind remembrance yesterday, by M..de Martignac, of their early 1 friendship be expressed his warmest gratitude; political differences, it was true, had long separated them, but his fellow.:itlwen, now in the hour of his adversity, showed, like a man of Amour, that he st il l re • malned his friend. (Here M. de Martignac wept.) With reference to his own principles, his life was before the world : to Napoleon he had never yielded his principles, and was fortunate enough in his own province on one occasion to have saved 13 soldiers, who had been tried by a council of war, and at other times to have saved different political offenders. At the restoration he never courted the Bourbons, but had remained tranquilly pursuing his professional business In the mouth.— His fi rst entrance into public life was as deputy for Bordeaux,—an ha nour unsought by him, but kindly conferred upon him by his fellow. citizens. As a magistrate, he believed it would be aid in his depart ment, even by his political enemies, that he had ever implicitly regarded the principles of justice and the rights of humanity. In political life, he knee, he had made enemies ; but he could say, like the British mi. nister Sunderland, that he had filled high office without ever having done any thing for himself. His bitterest opponents could not impute selfish motives to his acts throughout the whole of his gamin's. tration, or that he had ever compromised his principles. He then to enumerate the various public measures which had Er tm , passed in his time, and the moderation which he had always shown during the agitation of projects that had led to great excitement among others ; for instance, the law upon sacrilege ; and other acts of that mixed religious and political character. It was well known in the south of France, that, upon many occasions, he had by his own efforts saved a number of persons who, were it not for that interference, would have lost both liberty and life. In reflecting upon these events he could name at least 230 persons who were thus relieved; so that if his lot were to be ransomed from the enemy, the task of re. demption would not be difficult, for his ransom had been already paid. As to his private fortune, the best proof he could give that that had never been increased while in power, was, that when he had fallen from political station, there was only 400 francs difference between his in come and what he had derived by inheritance in the year 18112. He then most solemnly denied that he had ever despatched a telegraphic order to execute the prisoners from Martinique ; in point of fact, the jurisdiction of the tribunal which tried them was not, in any part of its proceedings, under his control, and this was easy of proof. With refer ' enee to the ordinances, and the coup d'etai, all he could say was, that he had used all his efforts to reconcile conflicting passions, and it he had not succeeded, it was his misfortune rather than his fault. The secrets of the council be could not disclose, even to RIM himself from being the victim of misrepresentation and misapprehension, and he solemnly de clared that nothing was farther from his intention than to invade the rights of the people, and the imputation against him of having conspired against their liberties was utterly destitute of foundation. He was grate ful for the attention with which they had heard his disclaimer of charges so grave : his public life was clowd,—his fortune ruined ; to friends or sought to foes be could now only offer his tean--(lure he w ept with great emo. tion)--and these he freely poured for those who his life, as well as for those who honoured with sympathy the condi tion of a fallen man, whom circumstances, over which ballad no control, had prostrated. This defence of Count Peyronnet was unmarked by any striking fea totes ; it was an appeal to the humanity of his judges, and • demand up on them merely to confide in his own assertions of the purity of his intentions. M. Hennequln rose at 13 o'clock, es counsel for Count Peyronnet, to spatk further in his defence. He commenced by stating, that it was to Count Peyroanet the public were mainly indebted for those acts of th late Administration which had regulated the improvement of the pa lic edifices, and afforded general convenience to the nation. He then entered into a long legal argument to explain what was the real im. pott of the articles of the charter of 1814, which had, he said, a sulk. rug analogy in their modifications to the popular branches of the Bd. dab constitution, but could not, from the nature of the mixed opinions and institutions of France, after so many revolutions, be acted upon with the same steadiness and precision. Against the accusation that Count Peyroanet meant to upset the Institutions of his country, he had certainly to oppose the acts of his whole life, which had been devoted to their perfection and preservation. He then went over nearly the same ground as M. Ilartignac did yesterday, in showing ' from► the example of England, that extreme rigour did not follow from changes of dynasties or governments, but that on such occasions poll. deal enemies were always generous, and did not tarnish their triumphs by the spilling of each other's blood when the beat of the battle wee over. So it was in England in the year 1888, and so it ought to be in France in 1830. As to the conduct of Count Peyronnet in the Council of Charles X. could he lift up the curtain winch veiled it, his fellow. countrymen would sae that it was marked by moderation and liberal feeling, and that no man felt more anxiety than be had done during the three memorable days to obtain a usual= of hostilities, a revocation of the ordinances, and his own removal from the Ministry. M. Sanaa, counsel for hi. Chantelause, followed. At half-past 4 o'clock the sitting was adjourned till tomorrow (Monday.) SIXTH DAY. COURT OF PEERS. Dic. 10. DEFENCE OF AL DE CHANTELAUZE. M. Sauget this day resumed the defence of M. de Chantelause. The prisoners were conducted to the bar at half-past 10 o'clock. Prince Polignac appeared weak and dejected. Count Peyronnet was reading • newspaper with apparent attention. Al. Sauset began his discourse by discussing the legality of a asp d'atat under the old charter, providing the government felt the king under the necessity of making one for the maintenance of his throne. He denied with a good deal of force that the ordinances had caused I the revolution of July,—three days had indeed accomplished it; but lb years had been employed in preparing it. The links between the throne and the people had been gradually but irreparably broken, and the un e:-minister wheat he defended was innocent of the catastrophe, al he had become one of its victims. The learned counsel employed much eloquence to show, that a government established as the restoration had been, by force of foreign arms, had various din'. addes to contend with, hem which those thrones were free which had grown up from their foundations among the feelings and wants of the people; and that such a government was of necessity driven to measures for its preservation often not in strict accordance with legal usage. He enumerated several of the acts of the legislature previous to the revo lution, which had implicated the throne and the government long before the ordinances. Among them was the law of indemnity for the ancient possessors of y before the old revolution, which, though just in itsel ,, having been misinterpreted by the people, was the soma of great mischief. Let them smtk to a peasant of liberty, obi be wield understand them; bat spak to him of thew'es of gotanaishmeel lin that foreigners had the throne of his social [kg, end he will feel his national indepen donee compromised, aid list the spode from his arm to seize the wea. pop with which he had before melted to the frontiers to contend on the laid of battle against the imagers of his country. It was in the midst of these melancholy colliehms of peddle feeling between the monarchy and the nation that the kW itafeetusate Ministers of Charles X. took office, and were conunitestl l for the salvation of the throne, to take measures which, under Molest cirannstances, would never have been thought of But he called spot the Chamber of Peers to bear in mind, that they had themselves been parties to many of the moaners which had bought the throne of the late dynasty into its danger, and that the sublime of the lees simmuhy had been long compromised before the (amities of the Ma k, of the Bth of August. He then adverted to what he lissend the vasey attacks which the late moaareby had sus. before it bad Inesedi resod to diked its rights. The press had teemd with assaults dais mane, und the King at length fined that this extreme liberty of the piles was besempatible with the existesee of his throne. They should shays 'smasher, that the value of the liberty of the press woo a great problem of modal; thoss,—that it was unknown in ancient ts, sad was very likely to be a apse which various ions would be famted in the cabinets of Prin topic ces. The jeer oak had raged against all the principles which the monarch y held dear, and it was natural for the Ling a leek apes it with a jukes eye, as bent upon the annihilation of die power of the Bourbon race. It had been laid by the commissioners for the ammatiou, that the people bad upset the late throne with reluctance, bat this was against the whale evidence of their acts ; they were best upon its over throw; and the only hope of the Crown was to endeavour to save itself by strong measures, or unresistingly receive its prostrate fate. Tha old and the now principles were brought into fatal collision by a long skies of unfortunate measure., for which the unfortunate mi. tasters on trial was not msponsibk, and the train of which It was too late to avert when they received the helm of governante. He the proceeded thus :—I have permed the sincerity of the waken, bat mere especially OH. de ChssMhass. Ate ! may I then not hope a see him restored se liberty, mile dies noble saps of which be was one of the brightest gems 1 0 Yes haw it, gentlemen, the bar itself has come forward to demand ad die Waimea may be looked apes as prisoners of war, end not as abolinele is it not evident, that the law would be unjust emy en doh devoted beads Had the net the veil hung be fore this sense:sty bus absimosi to pleas; this imbed the law might have taken assesses on the 'deism of die sown.

Here the orator examined in full length the question of ministerial responsibility, and continued to show that t h e accused cannot be condemned without the most signal injustice. The people has preferred toasted the throne, and abjuring all idea of rm. geanos, thought it better to ensure its future happiness by the overthrow of the monarchy, than by shedding the blood of the ministers. The days of vengeance are now gone by—the day of justice dawns upon us:: justice for the man who has confided his defence to my weak nese, and notice for you, gentlemen, is clemency, and clemency is the most noble offering you can make to France. Let nobody pretend that recent misfortunes demand vengeance; no, the taunts of the victims of liberty demand no other sacrifice than tears and regret; and pethaps on the great national festival, when we shall all surround their tombs, four families will perhaps timidly present their homage and the offering of their heartfelt gratitude for the preservation of their parents. Al 1 then. then indeed you will really feel year pendent when you will h ave given the nobles, the rare example of a whole nation sacrificing i ts dissensions to the pace of the country. Peers of Prance, you sill shine at the bead of this great fesdval, because it will be the fruit o f your labours. Notwithstanding the Injunctions of the President, the audience gave the most evident marks of approbation to the young defender. On the audience being suspended, several Peers shook hands with him, and M. Dupla sin& went up to embrace him. DEFENCE OF GUERNON DE RANVILLE. M. Crernieux, defender of M. Gueenon de Renville then began s follows :_ , s Gentlemen, I Milt flit of all claim your indulgence : for, after listening to the eloquent defence which you have just heard, more than ever I kel how much I want it. The trophies of lifiltiades pre. vented me from sleeping last night but, at the Rune time, I ester. tamed the most flattering hopes for the success of my cause, as the ac. quittal of M. de Chantelause appeared to me • guarantee for my client." The defender entered into a relation of the events which have taken piece since the restoration, and endeavoured to show the incompatibility of the Bourbons with the nation, on account of the different principles which animated the dynasty and the people. From thence the defender took occasion to relate the different circumstances of the life of M. Outman, and proved that be always showed himself sincerely attach e d to the constitution, both by his works and his conduct as a magistrate. Like those who spoke beore him, M. Cremieux examined the actions [of M. de Renville whilst he was minister, maintaining that he cot:. saintly opposed any system of government hostile to the opinions of the country. The orator added, M. Guernon de Renville yielded to the urgency of the moment, to the solicitations of the government when he signed the ordinances, and that, a moment of imprudence, inspired by an appearance of devotedness to his royal master can never be looked upon as a crime of high treason. Besides, M. Guernon had merely signed, and not advised the adoption of the ordinances, a sir. aunstance which ought to be taken into serious consideration. Besides, the Court before which the cause is to be decided, is not complete. is not the same as when the crime (supposing it to be a crime) was cool. milted t and this alone is sufficient to prevent any legal judgment. M. Cremieux terminated by bringing on the scene a stranger visiting the ruins of Paris when that noble town will be no more, and his guide showing him she remains of the Pantheon, and of the House of Peers, and telling him that after a noble struggle for liberty, the great. est nation of the earth pardoned its oppressors, thinking that no blood ought to be shed on the shrine of freedom. The emotion of the defender w.is so profound that he fell into a swoon, and was carried out of the room. This incident made a deep impression on the whole assembly in such an awful insistent. )f. Berenger, ooe of the Commiasionms of the Chunk, of Deputies, replied to the defence. His principal argument canasta in maintain ing that the es-Ministers are really responsible. the King's inviolabili.y having been preserved—a truth which all France could prove, and Charles K. himself; but the people had been moderate towards the Mo. starch: it was because they knew ►hat the ministers were answerable for the crimes of the Monarch. The Court adjourned till to-morrow. LAFAYETTE'S ORDER OF THE DAY. MONDAY. In these circumstances, which different passions and Interests would fain render critical, to the great prejudice of peace and public order, the Commander.in.Chlef feels it his duty to express his thanks to the Na - tional Guard, and to the troops of the Has under his command, for having shown by the seal, good spirit, and union displayed by them during the last days, that the cause of liberty has brave defenders against ' anarchy and contempt of the laws. The marks of confidence and affec tion manifested to him during his visits to thedifferent posts, not only by the troops under arms, but also by the other citizens, have excited his lively gratitude. Thauentimems are reciprocal s The Coemnander.in. Chief at the commencement of this week, In which the glory of the great week appears in danger of being tarnished by disorder and violence, thinks it his duty to meal to the minds of his fellow-citizens the peftsciples and 'experience of his whole life. He will not address himself to the counter. revolutionists, to the partisans of the fallen dynasty, to the old servants of all aristocracies and of all despotisms, who, not content with the pro ' teethes extended towards them by a generous people, and by the rights of a liberty which knows no exceptions, the only true liberty, might wish, es In the int revolution, and at the risk of being themselves the victims to bring about a third restoration by anarchy ; and, under the mask of hypocrisy, to substitute for liberty licentiousness, its mortal enemy—to stain, by anarchy and murder, our spotless revolution—to en. courage our foreign enemies—to put an end to the admiration of the world, and thus to destroy the effects of the example we have given. The general. in.chief has no feeling in common with them ; still less does he address himself to those men habituated to crime, eager for pillage, who regret that the rapidity and the purity of the victory left them no time for the accomplishment of their bad designs. With whatever pre. text they may disguise their pretensions, they surely will not seduce s virtuous, laborious, and intelligent population, who, even in the heat of combat, showed its horror for such excesses, and for such people. But if in this population there should be well-intentioned but misled citizens, who should consider themselves as serving the ends of justice. in committing the greatest offence against It, by threatening the judges, who should think that they serve liberty, which is sovereign justice, whilst they employ means that this liberty condemns ; who, in fine. through private discontent should wish to destroy their own work at any risk,—l will remind them that it was thus at another period that the French people fell into the honors of a bloody and truly tyrannical anarchy,—the parent of bankruptcy, of famine, and of the maximum, and then afterwards threw despotism into the disgrace of a restoration forced upon them by foreigners. However. the confidence of the General.in.Chief in the population of Paris—in the brave and generous victors ofJuly—in that vigorous youth of whom be is the constant friend—in their brave brother-soldiers, the National Guard.w.haa not been shaken for a moment. They will el. ways find in him the same as he was 19 years ago—as he was in In 1830, and the same as he will remain for the few years he has to live —the man of liberty and public order, loving popularity more than life. has decided to maifice both rather than fail in his duty, or witness the perpetration of crime; and deeply persuaded that no end can justify means which public and private morality disavow. He thought, is our barricades, that the actual Government, founded upon the sove reignty of the people, having at its head Louis Philip the First, was the best combination of power which under the circumstances of Frame and of Europe we could adopt. He thinks so still, and de. fends this mermen, not only because he has promised to do so, but also because his opinion remains unchanged. As to the other combies• dons of our political existence, as to the secondary measures of tidal:. nistration, they are before the proper tribune, to which it does not be long to me in an order of the day to give my advice.
