On the Bth, the King assembled his body Frtard, and 'offered them money, and also the pillage of the Gain', but they refused to take their arms. Finding himself deserted, he retired into Isis 'room slid abut himself through the heart.

On the remark of the President, that .M. Dupin had been assigned at the preceding audience for the defence, he protested against 'the measure and withdrew. M. Dupin declared, that the defendant had not furnished him with the necessary documents and instructions in. the cause ; and for this reason he could not take upon himself the arduous • duty assigned to him at that moment. M. M. Berryer: and Charrier, advocates for the Noble prosecutors, addressed. the Court against the Chevalier's propositions. .• The Tribunal, after hearing the King's. Advo cate, relieved the accused from the exception which he had taken against the ju3gment of con demnation, and ordered that-he should withdraw his case, reserving to.the parties the right of ap pealing againSt, the .libels published and distri buted since the preceding sentence.

ASSOCIATION. — This Association held a Meeting, at lledon on Monday last, and they continue to be of the same opinion respecting the necessity of some legisla tive enactment against the importation of foreign agricultural produce, duty free, which was ex pressed in the Resolutions of the Association on the Gth of March last. We cannot enter into the merits of this opinion at this moment, but we can safely declare that this Association has our best wishes, and that we are satisfied much good may result from their agitating a question of so much consequence. The interests of Agriculture are paramount to all other interests.—(Hull Packet.) THE KING'S COURT. PRESENTATION OF THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY ADDRESS.
