THE PARIS FESTIVITIES.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BURGLARY
AND MURDER.

(nom ous owa

PARIS, FRIDAY EVINT3O.

The people are beginning to understand the im-
portance of departmental government. The duty
of the councils general, or the French grand
jury, has not only relation to the administration of
the country, but it is charged to make known to the
government the wants and wishes of the popula-
tions. A short time ago there was a partial re-
election of these councils, whose session will open
on the 22nd instant, and several persons of known
antagonism to the government were returned. The
prefects will then, for the first time since the este-
biahnient of the second empire, find themselves in
presence of members of the jury whe will most
probably contradict their statements and oppose
their resolutions. The government is already
strongly represented, as the prefect always presides
over these assemblies, and it is nct unlikely that
an attempt will be made to remove this incubus, I
which must unfairly influence all decisions and I
establish the rule that the councils should elect
their own president. It is supposed that the go-
vernment is inclined to give greater powers to these
councils, and consult them with regard to the ex-
penditure of the public money. The government
at the moment of its becoming more liberal will
experience a commencement of opposition.
The representation at the Opera last night was of
the most brilliant description. The house had been
especially prepared for the reception of so much
royalty. The imperial box was placed in the centre
of the theatre, and was richly decorated, whilst the
orchestra was set apart for members of the legisla-
tion. The King of Spain wore the grand cordon
of the Legion of Honour, and the Emperor the
Golden Fleece. His most catholic Majesty was placed
between the Emperor, who bad on his left the
Princess Mathilde, and the Empress, who had at
her right Prince Murat. The Empress wore a tiara
of precious stones, and looked remarkably well.
To-day the fates have been troubled by bad
weather ; rain, not heavy but continuous, has suc-
ceeded to • stifling heat, and the troops marched
out in the wet this morning to the Champ de
Mars. In spite of this unusual drawback all Paris
flocked out to the review, and at an early hour
possession was taken of every available spot from
whence the proceedings could be witnessed. At
2 o'clock the troops took up the positions assigned
to them. The first corps d'armee was placed under
the command of General T.lbriob. The line was
formed up in twenty close 'columns of division, the
National Guard in ten columns, and the Imperial
Guard and the infantry of the Ist Corps in
five columns each. Besides these troops were
cavalry of the guard and the line, artillery,
engineers, military train, pontoneers, the guard of
Paris, and sapeurs-pompiers, or battalions of fire-
men. The troops were under the command of
Marshal Magnin, commander-in-chief of the lit
corps d'armde. The Imperial Guard was under
Marshal St. Jean d'Angely, and the National
Guard under the orders of General Mellinet. The
number of men present was 50,000 infantry, 10,000
cavalry and artillery, and 108 guns. The Emperor
and King of Spain arrived from St. Cloud in •
carriage and four at 3 o'clock ; they then mounted
on horseback, and made their entry into the Champ
de Man, followed by a numerous escort. The
Empress, in spite of the rain, followed.the cortege
in an open carriage. The Prince Imperial, in the
uniform of the grenadiers, rode alongside his
father.

Many of the papers discuss the probable effect
which would have been caused by the Saxon pro
positions in the Diet, but as the motion has been
withdrawn the matter is of no further interest. It
is insisted that the relations between Austria and
Prussia continue unfriendly, although Saxony had
nearly united them in their common interest.
A mouth's study of the Gazette des Tribunaux,
whilst showing the amount of French crime, would
reveal the fact that criminals in this country when
once they set to work stop short of no horror. A few
days ago a man was tried for murder of his mother-
in-law, arson committed to bide his crime, and
wounds inflicted on another woman by means of '
vitriol. Two men are now being tried in toe south
and their indictment is even more terrible. One
might fancy one was reading another tale of Edgar
Poe. On the 9th July lest Jacques Latour, a baker,
and Francois Audouy, nick-named Hercules, were
accused of assassination and robbery, and coin-

mitted for trial. The act of accusation gives the
following account of the crime with which these
men are charged :

In the valley of the Arise, and close to the village
Labastide-Besplas lies the chateau of Baillard, a
straggling building. In this chateau lived an old
bachelor, a M. Bugad de Lasalle, and three servants,
Jean Lemuel, the coachman, Pelagie Bycheire, the
maid, and Raymonde Bergh, the cook. M. de La-
salle had a considerable fortune, which he
very much neglected ; in fact, he was a
miser and preferred boarding up hie money
even to investing it in government secu-
rities. Public report greatly exaggerated his
wealth. He left home but rarely, and bad always
guns and swords at band. On the 25th February
last a valet remarked that the shutters of the
chateau were closed at an unusually late hour.
After making some inquiries, this emu west into

the court-yard of Halliard, and called Pelagie ; find-
ing no one in the kitchen, be went into the stable,
where he saw several pools of blood, and in an
obscure corner the body of the maid. He imme-
diately gave the alarm, and an atrocious business
was soon brought to light. The body of the maid
Pelagie had been discovered on the ground floor. In
• wood shed close by lay the corpse of Jean Lacanal,
where it had evidently been dragged from the stable.
It is supposed that he was the first victim, and that
Pelagießyeheire was murdered after • long struggle,
whilst attempting to assist him. On the first floor,
where the two servants slept, was found the body
of M. de Lasalle, at the foot of a bed, and behind
the bed, half enveloped in the curtains, was Ray.
monde Berge', her head nearly severed from her
body. It seemed as if she had been the last attacked,
and had endeavoured to defend herself with
the bed hangings. The assassin, to accomplish
his crime, must have got on the bed, for the sheets
showed the marks of muddy boots. It is supposed
that M. de Lasalle was murdered in an adjoining
room. The four bodies were fearfully mutilated,
and the details of the different wounds showed that
unheard of ferocity had been practised on the
victims after death. It is hard to account for this
brutality otherwise than by supposing that the
assassins were endeavouring to mislead justice.
M. de Lasalle is laid to have had no enemies, and
the only motive for the perpetration of the crime
was to obtain the treasure he was known to possess.
Suspicion immediately fell on a man who went by
the name of PujoL He had been seen several times
in the neighbourhood, and had disappeared directly
after the assassivationa. Had he remained quiet
he might have escaped altogether ; but he was
taken up for wounding and robbery at St. Girona
and Toulouse, and as the description given of him
coincided with Pujol the matter was examined, and
he was found to be the same man who had been
seen wandering round Halliard. His name was not
Pujol but? acques Latour, he was an escaped convict,
he had already been in prison for nine years, and
his photograph was in every considerable police
station in France. A chain of circumstantial
evidence was gone into. Pour before the crime,
Latour had his pockets full of notes and gold a
few days later. He announced his intention of
settling in the neighbourhood and purchasing a
farm, and he went so far as to ask the daughter of
his host in marriage, but he soon got frightened and
west further off. He continually heard the affair
of Labastide discussed, and when told that one of
the assassins had been arrested he declared the
report to be false, and on another occasion, when
tbe assassins were accused of having eaten by the
aide of the dead bodies of their victims, be replied,
" And why not 1 They were hungry." The
evidence collected against Jacques Latour is nearly
certain to lead to his conviction. He is supposed
to have been aided by the other prisoner, against
whom no very strong case has been made out.
The cry of "Lambert," suddenly become so po-
pular in Paris, still continues to offend the ear. A
street boy called out the other day, pointing to a
gentleman, " Voills Lambert." Crowds immediately
flocked to the spot, and the supposed Lambert had
to seek refuge in a add. The cafe afforded but •
slender asylum ; it was carried by storm, and but
for the intervention of the police an innocent
gentleman would have been immolated to an un-
meaning cry. Many country people who had come
up to see the fetes were driven from Paris by the
way in which they were tortured with "Lambert."
However, this nuisance will now no doubt abate,
for an urchin has been taken up for shouting this
watchword and resisting the police, and sentenced
to 15 days' imprisonment. It was all in vain that
the unhappy delinquent urged that even the En-
glish going back home cried "Lambert" The
Gasette say. that there is now one voice the lees.
Notwithstanding the unpromising state of the
weather the Bourse was nearly deserted to-day for
the review. The Rentes hardly varied sc.
