These arms ne:e found in repair, or in depot, in the different wvrkshopa of the capital, at the moment the Convert- Gnu *3O signed. In the interval, from the•sigoatore , of the Treaty to the nceupalion of Paris, they were carried off to Vitteolittei, v►here they remained till now. They have been chlarted as part of the's:lna. rw•ait of Paris, at tue moment when the material of its defence w•as thought to belong to the Allies', in virtue of the Convention of the 4th. _ _ _ Thus, it is not the armament of Vincennes which is deli.ered up, hut thP &pot that is restored. Et ap amedis that it is this which principally formed the clatter iu dispute het•reen the Commander of the bleeliade and of the Clstle. A proof that the siege of Vrucenues was not seriously pressed, is, that the entire force of the blockade consisted of a simple guir4l of about GO privates, who were relieved like ordinary posts, and who were there only to watch from without the preservation of the depot of arms which were disputed. • _ _ _ Switzerland is the first of the Allied Powers which has withdrawn its troops from France. She will re tiin only a wfak cordon along the frontiers, and piincipally at Basle and its environs ; meanwhile the clingers w hick threatened the town o Basle, on the side of Iluninguen, have ceased. it is thought, that iu consequence of the reiterated instances of the Balais Government, the Diet has endeavoured,in the Defini tive Treaty of Paris, to obtain the demolition of the ; . oitifications of Hind:Teen. Basle is in continual on account of that place. • .-- FaENGH FUNDS-5 per Cents. 641. LAIJEDOI'ERE'S DEFENCE.' Al.

M. Laaenoirette t now rose and read his defence, which appeared to be written in haste,' aud Without, - method, upon slips of paper. " If on this hiportant day my life aloes .n • cempromised, I should abandun myself to the. es. ceuraging idea, that he who pas sometimes led brave, men to death eould know how Au march to death himself like a brave man, anti I should nut detain you. But my honour is attacked as well as my life, and it is my duty to defend it because it dues nut he. long to me alone—a wife, the model of every virtue, 'has a right to demand an account of it from me. Shall my son, when reason comes to enlighten him, 'blush at his inheritance? I feel strength enough to resist the most terrible attacks, if I am able to say , honour is untouched! " I may hare been deceived—misled by illusions, by recollections, by fuse ideas of honour—it is pos sible that country spoke a chimerical language to my ten r t." The accused here declared, that he had no iuten lion, nor was it possible for him to deny frets, public and notorious ; he was ready to sign the act of ac cusation drawl' up against him, but he would justify himself from the charge of having been concerned in and plot that preceded the return of Bonaparte; anti he protested that he eas convinced no relation ever 'listed between the isle of Eitel and Paris. " Appointed Colonel of a regiment, I wished only to occupy myself its my military duties. I wished atb...ve all to inspire my soldiers with an esprit dm corps. Never should I have attempted to make them forget the warrior who had so often led them to vie-! tor) ; but I knew also the names and exploits of the, g!eat men that have tendered the family of the Bour- bens ill. stridus, and I should have made it a dilly° pleasure to teach them to my troops.

LONDON: lIATVRDAY, AUGUST 19, 1815. The Palk Papers of Wednesdny last, the 16th i:istant ► arrived this forenoon. On the interesting subject of LAREDO YEWS case, the most important • event that•has occurred since the return of the King, the most spiritless silence is preserved ; a silence i which is noways unaccountable, and speaks as eto. quently on the subject of popular feeling, as on the state of the public press, which a Commission of Go vernment is now appointed to superintend. The effect, however, which the trial and noble defence of the unfortunate Liamoyurtz, who his shown so much zeal for the honour of his country, have had lon the public mind, are already evident. A general sympathy and feeling of approbation which, all the 'arguments cited against_ him caw►ot wieseroy, *re manifested in his behalf; and we think we already trace something of the influence of this impression on the measures of Government in 'regard to others whose condemnation would ceriabily not lessen this feeling.
