ynii~- te a FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS, LRECEIVED THIS MOTCNING.I EXECUTIOIY OF LATEDOYERE. COUNCIL or REVISION. Airs. 19.=-To-day, it nine o'clock in the morning, the Council of Revision, composed 'of Field-Marshal de Conchv, President ; Colonels 11Iaria and Chambaut ; Captains Leclerc and l'ietot de Sainte I.llarie, and M. 'Wend, Com missaire-Ordonnateur, whO appealed in the office k)f Attorney to the King—assembled in the street ciu Cherche-midi. The Judge Reporter, after the reading of the -vlocuments, said '' According to, the exposition I , hich I have made of the dee:intents at this *the forms required by the law appearing to me to be exactly complied with ; I have not remarked any adeletts sufficiently important to be a motive for an milling the proceedings." M. Maugnin, the new Advocate of the accused, was assisted by M. M. lirachet Perriere and de Jolt', Advocate to the Councils. " God forbid," said M. Manguin in his exor " that I should seek to take from the facts which are imputed to Colonel Labedoyere, the 'character of the crime which is attributed to them ! Placed in a position almost unprecedented, the King had only to choose between pardon and justice ;--"--he has pronounced for justice, and Col. Labeiloyere has been handed over to the Second Council of War. "Ilk the Second Council, sitting at-Paris, was t~ I l l r , incompetent to judge of facts which took place at - ry'renoble in the 7th Military Division ?. The law is formal ; it was at Grenoble that Colonel Labe itioyere ought to have been judged. If, however, on account of circumstances, it was. necessary to Nye him before other Judges, that could only take placepursuant to a formal law : or much ra- 4 .ther, by a decree of-the Court of Cassation. Qn the other hand, why did the Governor or Paris arbitrarily pitch upon the second .Council ? In truth, the first and the second Council have the same attributes ; but by direct* the crimi tals to appear before a permanent - Council of War, without any other enunciation, it must have been rather the first c,ouneil which the King had • in view in making his Ordinance. " The procedure, said that defendant, abounds with nullities. "'The witnesses did not pledge their faith by the religious ceremony of an oath ; they only i,ave a promise to speak the truth. Nothing proves 211,111 rata! Elmer ; they were not asked whether they were friends or relations of the prisoner. Yet the military jaw of Pluviose, year 2(1, is not less imperative on this Subject than the criminal code: " The Judgeii hare declared the accused guilty a t►eason aad of rebellion, white ti►e true crime scos that cif defection. " The King's Ordinance of the 6th March, -punishes with death all those military men who acecrmpatiieil or followed lluonaparte in his in ,rasion but the Ordinance of the 23d March is /'css rigorous,- and finally in that touching pro clamation c}ated from Canibray, the King " eX " cepts from the general amnesty . only the irithors "or instigators of the plot formed Bwonaparte." " have proceeded regularly, the Council ,. ought to hare made it a fundamental question, A:tilt:the!.

In fact, A 1; Ricard, in , a few worils, proved that the 2d Council of War was competent ; that not cven the Eing but the Minister, on account of par ticular circumstances, had - ,a right to 94;n1 persons accused to such or 5064 a division. He refuted the other allegations of nullity, and found no real and important defect.iutlie pro- ceeding. . , e conclusion s , the Coupcit COnformahly to these of revision, aitrur deliberating from inid-day till a quarter-past one o'clock, declared mianimonsly„ that the Second Council- of War had, i t , i ts st ,„_ tence Of the Nth August, proceetded in - a regular find campelenl manner.

Madame Labedoyere fainted. All the attention required by her situation wrre bestowed upon her. The "King entered his carriage visibly affeeted, , atid'all the spectators of this remarkable - scene felt that his Majesty had pet formed the most painful duty of Royalty.—(Journal de Paris.) P-IRIS, AUG. 19.—T0-day at four o'clock, at the moment when the King was entering his. car riage, Madame .Labedoyere fell at his Majesty's feet, imploring pardon for her husband. ' The King answered, that if the offence ..of M. Labe- Iloyere tnitl Only concerned him, his .pardon would be granted ; but that the whole of France called for punishment of a man who brought upon them all the plagues of war. His M:kiesty was ;much moved, and it was seen bow much he suffered by being obliged to withstand the emotions of his heart. The King who knouts how to join g00d... ness to justice, deigned to promise, Madame La , bedoyere his 'protection for herself and her child. At sik o'clock, at the moment when the King was returning,from his airing, the MOther'of M. Labedoyere Was 10 the Court of the Palace to make a new attempt to influence his Majesty. Seeing that measures had been taken to preveFq her from tittering the vestibule and renewing a scene equally melancholy and useless, she retired.
