FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PA PERS, TRECEIVED Tails ~IORNI G. 7 (Frosts 1114 J.,urual drs Debertsl . 7711',41, OF L4BEI)OYERt. sECOND COI7NCIL OF WAR: Pants, Avo. I4.—From nine o'clock in the morning many strangers of distinction fillea the Common Hall of the Council of War ; among them we noticed the Hereditary Prince of . Orange , the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg, Prince William of Prussia, and a crowd of persons :Attracted by extraordinary curiosity.—Colonel nentri de Sa• vigny presided at the Tribunal. At eleven o'clock the business commented.— M. Viotti, the Chapter Reporter, in absence of the accused, read all the documents relating to the trial of Charles Angelique Hutchet de Lab&loyere, aged 29 years. M. 13exon, the Counsel of thO aos cum! was present. The first document was an order frotnLieut.- Gen. Copnt Matson, dated Stl► August, by which Sicur Labedoyere isgirenttp to the Second Coun cil, as indicted for Treason, Rebellion, and Se duction of the Soldiery (Ernhauchage). The result of the first examination of the cti• might, which he underwent before M. de Cuzes, the Prefect of Po.lice,. was, that he had set out from Riom after the submissi►►n of the corps of General Execliming, to which be- bac? been at. taehed although he had not served with it. !rav ing arrived at Chartres in a diligence, he there took a hired carriage which brought him to Paris, to the houseof Mafia= de Fonteries, the friend of his family. the project of the accused was to. 1'4114 refuge in America; Ire had it) consequence psovitled kimgelf on the 6th Illy. with a letter of credit on Philadelphia. for 55,600 frarre4. IVhen he heard of the Ordinance of the King, dated the 24th July, Fle found it would be diffi cult for him to embark, or evert to escape into Switzeilanci. Conseventry he came NI Paris, without any other intention than that of concert ing with his tanri'ly-h 3 future plans. " Perhaps," fditi the course of the debate, " perhaps r would bate resolved to give myself up as a pri soner, and to appear of my own accord before a counrir of . WM', The Prefect asked him, why he had not assum ecl the white COCkode, nrcording to the example of General Excelmaus and his corps ? accused r,plied, that he travelled in the dress of a citizen ; but if that lia not been the case, he would no: line hesitated to wear the 'White cockade. interrogated as to the events of the . month Sieur Labe doycre protested th a t h e • had no correspondence of any kind %cid) the Island Efia that.he hail not taken a part in any Club in which it hatt been proposed to recal 11nona pirte. lit troth, he had often heard ; vague pro pes;th, and some expressions of discontent s but there was no such thing as any determined plot.

Q.

The following ate sante pesesiges from this document - t, Why ttd you deNiguate yourself as a General Oircer !...A. According, to the rank - that was girth me on the 2011, MArch last by !be Emperor.

Yes; the ith and II th Regiment of the hue, the 4th Of hussars; the 4th of Itoo:s7qttillery; and the 3d of tice sappers, haring tnade'addrelses, the Major-Gen. (Liertrand) invited me to make one too.

Aftet the reading of these dm:watt - As, the RC. cased was brought into 'Court. The following is an extract from the eiiiiiiination which he'under -vent from tht rresidtat Q. IVIto appciated you Ca 14660 of the 7th re giiiitot of the line ?.—A. 1 w4s appointed by the Q. 'You neirei• had ?the Cross of St. Louis ? A. Never. Q. What standard did you receive as Colonel I —A. A white standard: Q. Did not all the Officers of the regiment take the oaths to that standard ?—.A. I imagine so : I was not there. Q. By whose order did your regiment quit the ramparts of Graioalc on the 7th March ?—A. Icy my order. Whe3 did you give back your regiMent the Eagle ‘vbic : ll your servant brought from Cham . bery ?—A. After going otit from the laubourg of Grenoble. It was an Eagle which bad been pre, served. in a boat as a curiosity . ,.because it had been borne with honour in the Spanish war. Tire accused again insisted on being allowed to call witnesses concerning the circumstance s Which preceded the event which had hurried him on to an inconsiderate step, and which made hi s con duct excusable.—The Council directed that he "should immediately pass to the hearing of the wit nei'ses appointed. de Agoutt, Major-General of the. Body Guards, Fiettl-MarshAl Mes-srs, Aniku, Advocate of Grenoble ; Bouret Gagnon de Croy, Maximi, a Royal. volunteer ; anil Saint Aland,. brat substitute to the King's Attorney at G-rt noble, successively made their deposhrons. One of them declared, that by ordai. of Sienr Lketloyere, a drum having been turn ap, loured cockzhes were taken out of it, w7tich 1 part of the 1014idrs of the 7th Regiment innnediately wore, after the example of their Colonel. The Eagle'of the 7th Regt.whiich the accused had cans ecit'a be brought from Charnhesy in a box. in which it was lierrr, was taken out at the moment of the defection of the regiment, and was placed at the end of a 100 brands of willow. This troop In-arched to shouts of rive l'Emperew. How - ever, Gen. Devillivrs suceee.led in retaiuing about sixty men, and brotight them hick to Grenoble. This General remained in the city till the moment when Lahecloyc-re entci - cd: it, ez.t4tz-itti; taie 3tat• LO ke cut down with aAm M. de Saiut•4larul gave his evidence iv.. these tV Ord S. irl hale heard that the course of condtret adopted by the accused was premeitated. At a meeting of Officers at Chambery, toasts were drunk to the King akyd his august Family.. Co. lonel Labeiloyerc answered by a toast which hp. peared very equivocal. When the event took prace, this fact ‘vas recollected, and the inference was, that he was in the secret of Buonaparte.— The care with which he had preserved lm eagle was no less suspected." M. Viotti, the captain -reporter,' resumed the debate, with a clearness and nntthod which would have done honour to a practised Magistrate. , tVe .made some notes of this speech. " The acts with which the accused is charged are of the very first rank among the crimes which for a time - deprived France of her King, occasioned the invasion of our country, placed the kingdom orythe,verge of a precipice which the most pierchv eye could not measure wicked attempt against the King, a wicked attempt against the Nation, disregard of the most solemn oaths, contempt of the most sacred duties pi—all these characters arc evinced by the conduct of the superior Officer who now stands before us. " The issue of this trial cannot by dubious.— Nevertheless, attact►ing Isis cause to some-politi cal and moral considerations, the actuse4 seems to hope that he can escape the jndg►uenti of con deinnafion. " You ha►e already weighed all the tneans of defence of which he can avail himself k will, therefore, only be for the sake of not omitting any part of the duties of my office, that, after the succinct setting forth of the charges, I s h a ll dis cuss the divers allegations of the accused .: He pretends, ttot to justify, at least to excuse his conduct by asserting motives of pub lic interest, Thcaccused must be awt•.nte that those tribunals, solely established lot the tuaintesksuccof discipline in the army, cannot extend theft nation to political consideration '. . 4' Looting at thcannals of armies, is it not seen that Gene rals barb paid the - forfeit of their lines for disobe dience followed even by vic►ory ? " If it were necessary to estimate crimes by their consequences, let Colour) LahedOyete Itiok arotnul him ; let him see our departments itowed t ki wil b eneat h the weight of the armies of our &esitties ; hit, loot at the situation of France, and then indge himself! " lie alletlges the public disposition. But the 11 th regiment of the line w•as in ti;e s ttne karvi son with the 7th. The di =positions of the soldiers inutit have been similar. Notwithstanding the Ith regiment remained at its post on the ram part, it did not follow the impulse of the 7th, and it was soon removed from Grenoble, conducted by its leader. " But even if the disposition of the men had been such as it is wished to represent it, was it not for the honour of Colonel Labedoyere to have resisted, at the peril of his life, all enterprizes contrary to the interests of his Majesty's service It was over his corps that the troops of Buona parte should have passed to arrive at Grenoble. " Let it not be &aid that where the number of the guilty is so great, that an universal pardon is just awd necessary. Here is one of the foremost among the guilty, who led away many others to become his accomplices. Is it from the extent of the disasters that the crime can be justified. " I conclude that the .accused be declared guilty of treason and - rebellion, but not guilty as to seduction." hr. de Bexon, the Counsel for the accused, said,. in a few words, that the defence of his client cOnifl not be better flaced than itt the mouth of the ratter, and that he would% ab,tain from all pleading. The aeenised pleading, hi!} own cause, delivered a written speech, and, in a pathetic exoraunt, called the interest of hi.s judges to the d..fplorable lot of a wife, the model of every; virile, and of a son, to whom he. Was , threatened with leaving the inheritance of indelible shame. " No, Gentlemco," added he, ". I !Tatter my self that it shall not . be. so.

None of the misfor tunes or the necessary sacrifices can be imputed to it. " how was this general dispqskion changed ? it was the 'result of the disconrscl, of the actions of faithful servants, of friends blinded by peT sonal interest, by false ideas, ttyttn erromeous conception as to the state of Fraoce E ete it %vas feared ttutt tht.- •:ccosed watidts from his subieety and exceed the limits of his defence. The President requested hi:n to confine himself to facts.—" You are," said he, " accusvdof a crime, there is no question as to the motives which may have induced you to the action. No tribunal, no human power is Cacti Upon to pro nounce regpecrin"g the motives. We eitnnot find a (r:me innocent." The Sieur . LabedoyZtre, then, plying attention to this remo:.-strance, passed over several leaves, anl terminated by expre:7,sing 'a wish that, for the future, all Frenchmen should only unite iu form_ in otie and the same family around Louis XVIII. • Nehaps," said be, " I am not destined to witness this noble and touching spectacle.
