and the coincidence of the day, June IS, on which It
was written, with the date of the insurrection at
Lyons, had caused the 'met of the two person men-
tioned above. To represent all these circumstances
had been the object of a letter to M. 0. Barret, to
which, on Sept. 14, M. Leroux received an answer
from the minister of justice, declaring that be bad no
power to prevent or modify the prosecution directed
against M. Loo Dfalliell and M. Deranonlins ; that he
had inquired :into the circumstances complained of,
and that if any abases existed in the matter they
should be put a stop to. He (M. P. Leroux) had
immediately replied, insisting on the bad treatment
te which they had been subjected. To that mend
reessmstrance no reply had been given. He now
learned that they were accused of being essoseplises
in the insurrection of Lyons, and were to be mat be-
fore a council of war.
M. Barrot's reply to the charge is, that the twepssu
son mentioned by M. Leroux toad been arrested ea
Isassy suspicion.
Pomee is evidently sadly in want of a babies en
Ern est ; and M. Odilon Berrot will net pressure
7aspl, of the morality of violating private ear-
th obtain revelations against person
of revolutionary tendencies.
ttssss that the doctors are anxious that M. d.
Max should retire from Ace, which they say is
ineseepatible with his vwyweak state of health; how-
ever the Union says: "We bare more favourable
awe of M. de Falloux than the last. The hon.'
sinister of public instruction is a little better, but he
is exceedingly weak, and all business exertion is im-
possible."
M. de Fallon: is most anxious to remain in for the
wpm of defending his bill on public instruction,l
whenently opposed as it is by all the partisans of
freedom of education. Should he be forced, how-
ever, to retire from ilf-health, people mention as likely
to succeed him MM. Beugnot, Vatismenil, or Coreelles,
bat these are mere rumours, which I only mention
because they ore about.
The report of the committee on the Bill on Public
Instruction has been distributed to the Assembly.
The prevailing idea of the committee has been to re-
gulate, in a manner the most useful to society, and
the most equitable to individuals, a new right com-
mon to all citizens, clerical se well as lay. The As-
sembly will examine this bill without referring it to
the council of state. The report of the committee on
the proposition relative to mutual assistance, and the
creation of a general fund for the relief of aged work-
men, has also been distributed.
The Moniteur announces that Count Charles Be-
rando de Pralorma has handed to the president of the
republic the letters accrediting him as envoy extraor-
dinary and minister plenipotentiary from the King of
Sardinia to the French republic, as also that Mr.
Bash has presented his letters of recall as minister of
the United States of America.
Several important questions are already being dis-
cussed on the subject of the budget, especially
that portion of it relative to the expense of
the ministry of marine. M. Benoit d'Azy and M.
Jules de Lesteyrie, chairman of the committees on
the budget and on supplementary credits, bad had
their attention drawn, it is said, to serious irregula-
rities, which are to be pat au end to. It appears that
expenses have been incurred without the sanction of
the Amenably, and pions have been invented which
never before existed ; fictitious reductions have been
paid, and formed real increase of expenditure. Such,
it is said, are the abuses and irregularities that have
been found out.
A council of ministers was held at the Flystie.
All the athletes, with the exception of M. de Fal-
lota. whose state of health retains him at the Chimera
de Stint were present.
A duel took piece yesterday in the forest of Body,l
between Mr. Thourel, the advocate, and Lieut. Pent,
seising eat of the scene which took plan a few days
ago before the High Court of Justice at Versailles.
The duel, which was fought with the sword, continued
a long time without either of the combatants being
wounded, and, during a momentary repose rendered
necessary by fatigue, the seconds interposed, declaring
that the principals had done sufficient to satisfy their
honour, and the combatants then shook hands. The
seconds of M. Thourel were M. Baune, representative
of the people, and M. Bungnier, ex-representative.
These of M. Petit were Lieutenant Wallois and
M. Deform. _

MOH COURT OF JUSTICE OF VERSAILLES.

?Immo or porous 22.
A small portion of the following appeared in our
improselon of yesterday :
The court met at eleven o'clock.
Corporal Cream-, of the 18th regiment, was one of the post
at the Conservatoire des Arts it Metiers, when the repro.
mutative. aid artillerymen arrived on 13th June. Ono of
the fernier tapped him on the shoulder and said: " Don't be
afraid—we won't do you any harm. You may believe ms,
for lam ;Ledni Rollin." Boichot said it was of no uso Sir
armies them, as they were an their side (the ineurgents).
Rattier summoned them' to give uo their ball-cartridges,
ander pain of being disarmed, and u his demand was net
noticed he succeeded in posseeeing himself of a package
unknown to the men. Some artilleysten appeared to wets\
them, and Colonel Ouinard, after Rattier had spoken, add:
"Liston to your repnmentative !"
Gainard denied this, and required Sergeant Tronche to be
clad to corroborate his denial.
The Sergeant said he had cot beard the observation, sad
was, in fad, too far off to bear.
Vie, ea employ., of the Conservatoire, saw Oninard, Leen
Rodin, Bettehot, Rattier, and other representatives and
artillerymen at the Conservatoire on the 13th of lasi. Some
of the artillerymen and representatives worked at the bard-
ends which was thrown up in the Conservatoire. He saw a '
plan of the building in the bands of a representative, and
hoard shots fired. They were fired by artillerymen at the
troops who were coming from the direction of the Port St.
Martin.
Cotten', a concierge at the Conservatoire, deposed to facts
already known, and added that he had seen the repneenta.
tine iaMal themselves is the Salle des Filatures. Tbey
were disquieted with re-poet to what took place outside, and
pronounced the name of Forestier. One of them got on a
table and said, "We are booby our time in a lamentable
manner—time is precious, we mast taste use of it I" After
deliberating for thret-quartsrs of =hour, the representatives
ansoancod their intention of going away. They *plied foe
the key of the garden' and most et them went that way;
some went by another dear opening on to the market-place.
They were in such a hum to get off that some of the artil-
lerymen broke the windowe and climbed through them,
leaving sane arms and four or five hats. The kepi of
Raider was also left behind. Among the persons recognised
by_Witattell was Vilely, president of the Societe des Drinte de
l'Homme.
A diecumion took place between the witaess, Gassed, and
Vomiter*, as to whether Lodes Rollin had wowed by a
?mimes, but it did not clear up the point.
D. Dods, secretary to M. Pouillet of the Conservatoire,
said that in the Salle des Filatures he beard sass rapreasa-
wives my that it was necessary to too and hsesnins the
people; bat though ab-tat thirty representatives were pa.
sent, no two of them were agreed on any point.
The Prorareur-Oeneral inquired if it was not on h
the shots tired outside that the representatives wanted to pi
awe_t ?
Witness could not answer that question.
The Procureur General asked it Ledru Rollin had not in-
quired how he could get away ?
Witness—Yes, and I pointed oat to him the vasistas at the
bottom of the italic and he escaped by it.
Tne Ptomaine Osamtel—Are you sure of that ?
Witness—Oh I gait* positive. The witness then heard
Loden Rollin complain several times of the non-arrival of
Forestier. Some of the persons who wore the insignia of
representative were not repossentatimu; some of them were
even In blouses ; " bat," said the witness, " all means are
good to those who (*aspire." (Laughter.)
The Advoesta•Oenaral—Are you quite certain that it was
the representative Leant Roliin to whom yon indicated the
'minas as a means of escape ?
The Witness—Yes, sir ; he appeared very anxious to get
away. I pointed out to him the resists., by which several
artibayates had alnady soaped. A few Wastes atm-

wards I Mimi WWI, frees curiosity, to get through the same
vesicles. (Laughter.)
The armed Devine—The imputation whisk is now being
emit ors my honourable friend Loden-Rollin is • very old ae,
but it will, I hope, soon cease to be brought forward. I will
not say more at this moment. As a fact, however, I affirm
that when the 62nd regiment arrived at the Conservatoire, we
were so little In • hurry to leave, that Leine-Rollin, accom-
panied by me, three other representatives, and several of the
artillerymen, went to meet the soldier, crying Vive la
Hemsbligne ! Vivo la Cinetitatieo !" LedneHollin even
spoke to the commander of the detachment. I now ask the
witness with whom we conspired, as he says ?
The witame—That idea occurred to me in consequence of
what took piece io February.
U. Mickel (de Bourges) attempted to show that what the
witness now said with respect to Ledru-Rollin's escape by the
vasistaa was is contradiction with the evidence he had given
before the *remitting magistrate.
The witness, however, persisted in declaring that he had
Pointed out the:'vasistas to Ledru-linllin, and that Letitia
Rollin escaped by it.
M. Oodard a bookseller, residing close to the Conserva-
toire,ed that on the 13th June be wee about entering
that building when he met M. Poulain in the court, who
said to Mtn, "The Mountain are here with Lein' Rollin
and °asstd." He asked him for what potpie", to which
he replied, "To deliberate and issue • proclamation." He
saw several artillerymen of the national guards with their
carbines. H., witness, picked up a kipi, with the No. 48,
and four hats, which he delivered up to the examining ma-
gistrate.
A medical man named Origoire, was next examined. He
stated that he belonged to the artillery of the national guard,
and knew Oninard. Oa being further questioned by the
president, he observed that beton he gave any further evi-
dence he wished to mention to the court that sines pities
his former deposition before the examining magistrate he had
been subj eat to • moral restraint.
President—You have only to reply at present to facts ema-
nated with the accusation. You are not to enter into any
other subject.
M. Gregoire—He felt bound to state that a few days since
he had been assailed in the street by a wretch who threatened
him with his cane th't it he did not retract what he had be-
fore said, be should suffer for it. He (witness) had taken the
cane from the man, and broke it in pieces, and, seising the
fellow by the throat, had throw& him down on the pave-
ment. lie considered it proper to make the affair known to
the court. . .

President—You have sworn to tell the truth and the
whole truth. Inform the court of all you know relative to the
accusatiOn.
The witness then entered into a long detail of the events
which had taken place at the Conservatoire. Ile said that
on the 13th June he did net hear of the convocation of the
artillery of the national guard until two o'clock. He was
then about going out again when two of the artillerymen
mune and told him that they had been ordered to tamable
at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. He went there and
found several of his comrades, and was there for a short time
before he discovered what was the real object of the meeting.
He saw the prisoners Lebon, Chipron, and Centagrel, and
another person whom he did not know, but he believed was
attaehed to the Vraie Wpubligue.
In answer to the president, the witness stated that two
officers of artillery, who had (opposed the construction of bar-
, Academe at the Conservatoire, had told him that they had
found a list, in which the name of Ledru Rollin figured as
dictator. - - _

TIM Messed Lobos asked the witness if be did not exer-
cise some ether profession than that of physician ?
Witness said he had been nominated diplomatic agent at
Strasbourg after February, and in that capacity had ant
away demagogues.
Lehoe observed that the witness hul stated facts which it
would have required six persons at least to hays witnessed in
the apiiNed. He complained that at Bourgas also the
phew had ligand for the promentiou, and had acted in an
Anibal. way.
The presideat said the accused could not be allowed to
Math the vitalism.

The wits= stated that just before the affair of 18th May '
be had beam appointed on a mission to Hungary, and on
that day west to hear the debate, whereby he became trit-
ons of what pared. It was because he stated the truth as
to what he had seen that he was now attacked. The witness
here entered at great length into details of his conduct in the
affairs of June,lB4B, and mid he had preopated the faubourg
Saint Marceau from bsigg burned down.
Lobos observed that the only witness against him was
Gregoire. It was tree that he (Lebo.) bad bees at the Con-
servatoire on 13th June, bat he bad been celled, as ft were,
by public duty ; and that was all that could be alleged against
him. He bad not belonged to the Committee of the Pros,
nor even to the national good. and knew nothing before-
hand of what was to take place on 13th June. He had bad
no Intention of figuring in the pacific demonstration on that
day, foe he thought such things stupid, tad he did not un-
derstand how an insurrection could take place with respect
to the interpretation of a law. Having heard, however, that
the representatives were being attacked, he went to the Con-
servatoire, because he believed the republic in danger. On
seeing what was taking place there, he opposed the construc-
tion of barricades, and any act of hostility. He afterwards
went quietly home.
The within then, in answer to questions, admitted that he
was concerned in the revolution of Belgium in 1830. He
denied that on 13th June be was at the Assembly, end urged
the representatives of the Montagne to go to the Rue du
Huard. He had been president of the Club des Prevoyans,
a delegate to the Club die Clubs, and notwithstanding this,
had, though not an advocate, defended the royalist newspaper
Le Jounsal du Petrie.
Several questions were here put to the witness by the ad-
vocates with the view of damaging his character and of
showing that be was by no means the sincere republican he
bad always professed himself.
The court afterwards adjourned to the next day.
