V Tilli STATESMAN. lie read a tlerilratitin of the Sieur IV:title!), Lieu. Irottnt of the ti:h Regiment, t ho derlftrod that in AotA lagt Nl:tro.,tl Ney had made furious speeches sigainst the t. rind the Nobility. A 1-stper N I s announced, which is not signed. The King's Commissioners opposed its being read, and it was decided that it should not he. - M. de Time', Director of Engineers, slia, that he knew that the Mai she( had held speechee, hut that he did not h ear them. The following are the speeches attributed to him : ---•• {lmre tsu in your coroploy Voltigeurs of Louis the Elliternitt. We will hate none in our ranks. 1.1'• king says it via gloi lout to command so great it nation as ours—but he would hare us go back to the tenth century." He was often heard to say si milar things, but his conduct did not correspond with -Ahem. The Mini..ter of P.lira sent a note c..ntaining a supplement to M. Beauregattl's declaration, which was read. A letter from the Sienr Belsquet, printer, at Be.. to the Keeper of the Seats, deflated that the writer had heard in the passage-boat at Bezieres, a conversation, in which it was said that Ney, after having quitted the King, had been in Ptattche Comte, and issued a Proclamation engaging the troops to em bace the cause of Bonaparte. A Captain of the ad of the Line declared, that at the end of March, Marshal Ney being at Conde, caused several Officers to come to him, and said, that if they had seen him with the King to caress kiln, it was only to deceive him the better—that he was attached for life to Bonaparte- Another Captain of the 4 1 td related the speech of the Marshal at Conde. A letter was read from the King's Adsocate at ilt•thune, stating that a superior Officer had heard it said to his cousin, that the Marshal had said that in setting off for the army in March last, he had his carriage full of Proclamations from Ilonaurte. A letter was read from the Sieur FachiT:formerly Chief of Provisions, who related a conversation he had with the Marshal since the King's return, which proved that the Marshal was attached to the King. %I he Council no w hea rd read— THE THIRD INTERROGATORY 07 TIIE MARTIAL. Q. Do you recollect hating densandod 15,000 francs of the Prefect of the Douh% ? —A. No. Q. Did you confide to the Chief of your Etat. N .j,, r your plans of passing over to Bonaparte?— A. No. Q. Have you the letter that General Bertrand sent you to bons le Snulnier, and the original of the Proclamation published by you ?—A. Both ought to be in the papers at my house. I repeat the demand made by my wife for a copy of all the documents relative to my proceedings fur my defence. 1 remit to you the request made to the King by tier to be annexed to the protestation I have made egaii.st the competency of a Military Tribunal. There would he no security for the citizons, if a retroactive effect could he given to laws. After the papers are all read, Marshal ;ley will be Introduced, and it is thought that lee will then pre sent anew his protestation against the jurisdiction of • the Connell of War. The question of its competence will then be diseu-sed. /IT NlNf. O'CLOCK. NI.XT THUItsI)AY MOI!NING (BEING TIIE LAST I) Y BU I' ONE), LOTT' Y J•HA%.4. AI I. THF VIIIZES 1'50.10.

No French Papers having mired at a late hour'' this forenoon, we are unable to give any further particulars (if Marshal Nay's trial, than tile short sketch, from a private source, which we submit of the proceedings of the second day. l'he question of competency had not come on to be discussed when the writer of this brief report closed his comn►uniea tion. After the papers relative to the offences charged areal , read (a curious prculiarity in the proceedings of the French Camino& Courts), the Marshal will be introduced, and it is thought will then protest anew against the jurisdiction of the Council of War, when the question will be argued. But who is to decide this important point ? The Court itself which has assumed this very questionable power ! The mass of evidence brought against NaY is, no doubt, suffi cient to condemn him ; but it appears tope and siosatisfactory on the whole, and in many in• stance+, presents a strange solvate of ridiculous absurdi , ies. The chief uitnesses oho are made to depose in support of the prosecution, are persons whom NET bad arrested, or ordered to be removed from places of trust when he joined the standard of BoNAPAnTE; and prominent among these accusing voices is Gen. BoußMoaT, who, when Ns r commu nicated to him and Gen. LSE°LME the Proclama tion sent to him by NAPOLEON, for their advice what he ought to do, replied, that `► the Bouinovms had committed great faults, and might to be abandoned !'► and who followed glorying in the train of NAPOLEON to the frontier, and abandoned him there with ail his Staff, and the troops he commanded, by gniog over to the Allies, just before the battle of Waterloo ! This is the evidence upon which Nev is to be con. sided of criminal defection ! The whole.of time ea positions, however, made on this trial, appear to have as much the object of establishing the in ' nocence of the parties who are implicated, and brought forward on this occasion, as of crimi eating NE,Y; and one would imagine from some circumstances, that this opportunity had been afforded merely for this purpose. But the re sult will show the intent. It will be observed, that the secrets of the conspiracy, which had been pre viously carried on, and tied led to the retorts of NAPOLEON, are very well kept th r oughout the dis closures; anti that though some statements are made regarding it, they are of so vague and floating a cha• racter as to furnish an tangible around of accusation. Some private advises assert, that NEv's condemnation is certain, end that it will excite but littl e corn. miseration, on account of his conduct in the Chamber of Peers, whets he returned from the battle of Mont St. Jean. lie then declared, that nothing but nego tiations Could save the country, end threw powerful obstacles in the way of the Nlinister and the Empe ror, when they were for usit g every effort to rally. and recruit the arm}, and continue their opposition to lovas' . Ile has now seen how far neenciatione have protected France from the anticipated horrors, and contributed to his own smsfety. Paris, however, is awake to thii prosecution, this growing manifesta tion of the sanguinary spirit of a Bourbon Govern ment. It is not expected to terminate without occnsiening some expiosioe. Strong commotions have already been manifested. The Duke of WEL LINGTON, though his troops are aided by the National Guards and the l'olice, finds it impossible to maintain public tranquillity, and has requested re. inforcements to he sent to him. We also Lind from the illoniteur that the Allied troops, who are to leave France, cannot wholly evacuee •the French terri tory at present, the Official Journals says, " not before some time in• the course of next month, bo cause the measures for securing thrir subsistence on the march cannot be carried into effect within a legs period!" This is a peer and ill disguided reason for the Allied troops continuing in France, and iv only intended to conceal the reel cause of the unhappiness of that country, which it cannot but prolong. and the unsatisfactory progress of those arrangements which were to lead to a general peace. It is as i tatted, and appearances give consistency to the report, that a demur has t.iken place in the negotiation of the Treaty, which has renewed all the fears felt on this i head. The French Mini.try is mach divided on this subject and that of the measures taken to ensure the safety of the Government ; and one of • our Correspondents asserts, that a change must and is about to take place, the ultra Royalists requiring the resignation of the more liberal and lenient party, at the head of whom are BUM MARIVOIS, VAti' BLANC, &c. Some OtirelottidelitS state that the • conclusion of the Convention is suspended on ac count of the title Mile:neva of the French Ministers to act with justice town-els the British creditor'', who have had their property seyoestrated or conficated during the were of the revolution. The Brussels Papers, however, speak of the conclusion of a se. C ((((( I Con Testlloll, lint UP know not if any thing of this kind is stivillsted in it. The Paris Journals had before said. that alterations of the prnpossal Convott. Lion with Fmnrine 111;1 oecupied the attention of the Allied and French Nlinedets ; anti the """Y pected delays in the filial signature of the ten der either of the reports KP l::tve alluded to, pro. bable. Certain it is that loud CASI LEREAC II fel% not yet arrived, nor has 110 Tr.lll, V , though we are told they both are expected 1.%. t our. According to the nm..•ded (...or volition, the num ber of Allied Troops rery.toomg in France wilt be 200.000, instead of 150.000 ; an increase, which seems required by the state of the county, as de. scribed by some other articles in these Papers. At Nismes there have been new comrnotions, in which many more Protestants have been murdered, awl tf eir houses plundered. One TKESTAILLON, whose ar►est as a rine-leader of the Catholic rioters, tans slated lately by the French Journalists, had esciteil a more serious tumult than they represented. In the North, violence.; often occur, and there appears to he some hesitation as to the surrender of the three French fortresses, Valenciennes, Rouchain, and Conde; for the Prussian troops, which sere relit.. jog by that frontier, have recei►ed orders to halt. although they will not form the garrisons of them.— The important fortress of Menus is allotted, nut t o the G er manic Body, but to Austria.

A Ifamhorgh Mail with Papers to the Bth inst. ar. rice() to.day, from I:kh we make the following ex. tracts Il4Vrovcn. Nov. 2.—Ensign Meyer is sent by our Government to Billystock, in Russia, expressly to promote the return of the natives of this country whd went to Russia in the campaigns of 1812 end 1813, and are still there. Ills Nlajvst)'s Ministry have likewise publicly invited all the friends and relations of such absent persons to make known their names and abode.

BR 1N OINEURGII, OCT. 31.—His Majesty the King has been plea4ed to make known to the departments which it concerns, that with the eacep►ion of those troops that are to remain in France, the rest of the army, both troops of the line and Landwehr, is to re. turn home to its °tin provinces. The troops of the line a re to be divided into brigades, each of two re. giments of infantry and two of cavalry, and will have the chief cities in the province for their standing quartets. In each of the chief cities the brigades are to be dislocated ; they detach battalions and Fquadrons to garrison the other towns and frontier fortresses, and relieve those garrisons at stated periods. In this manner all accumulation of troops is prevented, and the burden attending standing armies not only much Irssened, but, by a judicious division of the military through all the provinces of the kingdom, a beneficial circulation of money be promoted. The land* ehr are to repair to the different departments; the farther regul:tions concerning its constitution, &c. is delayed to a future time, in order to establish the qyatem of national defence in a manner suitable to the times and local circumstances. flANov kit, OCT. 30.—The Commissioners ap pointed hy the King of Prussia to deli►er up the pro- ViIICP of East Friesland, arrived here from Berlin the Orly before )esterdny.

The title of the Emperor of Austria in this Convention is, " Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bo- hentia, of Lomardy and Venice, of Gulticia and Lo- • domiria. ' fife Commission appointed to make a new Tariff of Custom-house duties, continues its labours with out intermission, and it is imagined thnt the new 're riff will appear before the beginning of the nest year. His Imperial Mjpity has, by an Illcitse, dated frnm the camp nt Virtos, ordered that officers wounded in the late isnr, when they obtain civil ap. poiniments, shill retain their pensions in addition to obe salasy of their place.

Hand-bills were published in Wolverhampton anti Bilston, on Monday, bearing the .ignatures of the Bankers, and a number of the principal tradesmen, stating their determination to clice the cash notes of Messrs. FERRI:DAY and Co. in pay meth as usual, and, we trust, confidence is com pletely restored." _ _ The. sudden order issued on Saturday for the march of a detachment of the Foot Guar& to France, gave rise to some rumours, which although not founded in fact, appear to be justified by the re ports which continue to reach this country, of con cealed and projected insurrection. We are sorry to state, that letters from France, referring to comm u nlea inns from Spain, attlioUitee the death of the late Gs , ti. I'olll.li...it's Lady.

The departure of a friend for London altods me an opportunity of communicating to you the din. tressed state of France, my poor country. Is it possible that the English, so generous i n t h e onset, should now be privy and acc essary to the pre. Sent evilt inflicted upon France? Is it possible that from a commercial spirit I he English calculate upon the durability of the throne of the Botiitnoms? Is it pot, Bible that this nation expects us Id love our most tleadl 7 foes ? I cannot give credit to it ; your coutatti. ii ton much persuaded of an hereafter, not to fear retriba. floe itn consequence of such unjust sett. She cannot. bot recollect that the Proclamations of her General did not threaten war to the people, and therefore, it cannot sanction such horrid proceedings.. 1: i t consistent or manly to ruin and lay waste b'ast'e after such fine promises ; is it humane to tolerate massacre for the purpose of Wog tyre'''s up on thrones ? Will not they think themselves re. sponsible to the Deity? NVi,y hive they not, as it was i n th e i r power, prevented the blood of the Protestants from being shed in torrents, accompani it i with all the refined cruelty of barbarians, and this by the orders of tyrants? And can England still • he a free country ? By the manner in which she looks upon the atrocious conduct of her Allies, she appeals to have lost her freedom, or, iwrinips, sh e i s waiting for their departure from France to show her I real and beneficent intentions. It is impossible toe:. plain liei conduct any other way. Cau a nation be dragooned ond edit ion of slavery, and put un . derafam itot ily n wl l i sec owere its former tyrants? Will it put the yoke on the necks ofa people a Iresdy how ed don n to the dust, and force them to receive the orders of the Ministers of Papal priestcraft, which is the spirit that now animates the machinery of Vie present Govern. meat, anti which will lead to its destruction ? Are we, in short, to reduce our faculties to a state of imbecility, and unlearn every thing which 'initia l , ezperiesice, and the love of country, have tea& us ? Are we to be ranked with Spaniards, and to be `cursed again with convents and lying Priests? It must not be, we will spill the last drop c( blood, if necessary, to put a stop to these direful ca. !amities. The English nation should not forget the period of Louts XI V. and the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and should calculate upon the evils which such a bigotted profeisiou of faith may brier upon their own country. .1% 1 Aril L I N7'E L L WENCH.
