I was afterwards told there are Mini. pedal dispatches delayed, would it not be proper to t o w an additional mail ? I said no ; it is better to ipoil immediately the delayed dispatches, in order that the inconvenience may not he prolonged ; the o t..ert , will follow in course.—These Gentlemen, the Chiefs of Division, who have to-day so dflicate a cons cience, had it not that day, for they paid great a ttention to every thing I said to them, and offered n olohjection. Had not they taken the oath to the King? Were not they all decorated? However they outstlipt me in every thing which'[ could say to them. Q. Here is a Proclamation, at least a circular, signed by you :—(The Emperor will be et Paris in two hours; the capital is in the greatest enthusiasm ; allis tranquil; whatever may be done, there will be no civil war).—Do you acknowledge this document ? A. It is from me ; but, it is said, that many of them were issued, which is not correct. Q. But there are several of them here; here are three or four. A. 1 defy more than 12 signed by me being pro duced. Q. Why did you write that circular ? A. I was afraid lest the Couriers should spread reports upon the road that Paris was in flames, and it was the, dread of civil war which induced me to circulate that note ; and will be imputed to RIP as a crime under a Prince who has a horror at the shed ding of blood ? This simple notice was posted no where. Another Order of Al. Lavallette's was read ; (the M aster of the Posts shall not let out horses to any person ► unless he be the bearer of an Order signed by me or the Ministers of the Emperor.) March 20. LAVALETIT. Q. The date does not point out the hour. A. It was written in the morning. Before quit ting the post in the morning I sent for the Master of the Post at Paris to . come to me. I was gone from the hotel when he came, and he went to my house in the street of Grettelle. I asked him what was the state of his relays ?—fle told me his horses %sere very much fatigued, and that for a long time they would be incapable of extra work. I said that is a pity, it will be necessary to spare them for a few days. He said, I cannot refuse them without an order. I gave him this paper, which I signed with j the title of Director-General, which it required to have the appearance of a character. The Marquis de Konde vale, Councillor of State, rees.,,,Ussuce, deposes:—That being Prefect of news was brought him on the 22d March, theta Courier entered the city, crying Vive P Ent pereur ! That he hod caused a great stir amongst the people, and that he was the bearer of several lettrrs, announcing the arrival of Bonaparte at Paris. 1 had him arrested and conducted to my hotel. I thought to have intimidated him to come at the truth, end told him he should be shot in half an hour if he did not tell me whether it was true that Bonaparte els in Paris. The mart said be was not there, but be had seen him at Ville-juif; he brought me two letters ; one sealed; it contained an order signed fa Vallette, for the Master of the Posts to restore the communications between Paris and Lyons, which bad cut otf. 'fhe other was unsealed, it contained the notice which has been read, and which I recol lect perfectly well to be the same, for I remsaked the contradiction between these words (Park is in the greatest enthusiasm); and afterwards (all is tran quil). I know that this Courier Tead his documents every where he stopped. M. Lavellete answered, that he did not know this Courier ; that he had given him no orders ; that those who knew how a Mail is made up will agree it is impossit le that a Courier, who is surronsoled by his dispatches, can in that position read a Proclama tion so as to produre tumult ; that if at every stop ping place this man was pleased to read the Note of %hir•h he was the bearer, he dill it of his own accord ; that the tumult which it had caused at Mosilins did rni arise from the Courier, but from the postillion, VIII. entered cracking his whip, and crying out— " Viz . e l'Enspereur !" that as for the rest he only signed 12 such notices, and he did it with a view to present civil war. - General Dessolle deposes, thnt he was &sired by M. ebastiaina, in the name of M. La Valtette, to said a detachment to the hotel of Poots, on the 20th of Nlarch. The Accused said, that he had indeed called in this rreraution, to preserve the cash of the Posts in case of distntbances. The Countess Ferranti deposes, that she applied fora Pnst permit to M. Lavalette; that he refused 1.0. for Lille, but granted me for Orleans. The Accused—Does the Countess think that her husband could not set out without the permit which he solicited ? Madame Ferrand—Certainly, since M. de Villars raid it was necessary. The Chevalier de Villnrs-1 went at ten o'clock to take orders of M. Ferranti for the public service aid his own. He said he had no orders to give me ; that M. Lavallette had taken possession of the admi nistration of the Posts. M. Lavallette was gone out.

'We have already noticed the Meeting and praise- worthy Resolutions of the Dissenting Ministers of the Metropolis on this subject ; and we add, with pleasure, that on the same day the Society for the Protection of Religions Liberty was also convened, and entered into, a series of excellent Resolutions, which will be found inserted in this day's Paper.— As this Society ;glandes many Members of the Esta blished Church, and represents all the Protestant Dissenters in England and Wales, any expression of their sentiments deserves, and must obtain, much respect. To their exertions the Dissenters were . principally indebted for the rejection of the Bill in troduced by Lord SIDDIOUTIL—for the repeal of .thei Conventicle Acts, and for the Other advantages they have recently obtained. • . We earnestly hope an example so worthy 'of imi tation will be followed by all who're of opinion that. the Protestant faith deserves protection ; and that tilt Governmentsoiho look with apathy on the sutYerings of a loyal Protestant population sill be convinced of the necessity of supporting the cause of humanity and Christianity ; and that Protestant liberality and Protestant interests ought not to suffer, because Pro testant valour and Protestant peneserance. bare tritimphed. T 141: STATESMAN.. LONDON: FaIDAY, Novinstit 24, 1815. The Paris Papers of Tuesday last reached us this forenoon. They are chiefly occupied with the report of the proceedings in LAY ILEITeS trial, which commenced bef•'re the Court of . Assize on Monday last. To the few particulars which have been corn. municated through private channels, of the com mencement of this trial, we make as ample an addi tion from the Papers as our limits will permit. LA VALETTE is accused of treason, in having participated in the conspiracy which brought back BomArAnv. (for the BoußßoNs and Bourbonites will have it that it was all the result of eonspiricy), and of having t..ken forcible possession of the General- Post Office, and turning out M. FERIt %ND, the Director. General, as soon as he heard that BONAPUITS was at Fontein. Went'. LA YACETTE had been Director-General of the Post-Office fur thirteen years previous to the first return of the King. M. FURAND, a furious Royalist, was nominated to the situation by the King after his arrival.
