the diamond localities *pekoe of in the procoodinee.
Carmel Rollin, head of the staff of the genera-in-chief,
was next called, and deposed to the different ausaures taken
for the maintenance of order on the 13th Jane. He no rrobo-
rated the evidence of the last *inns as to tie regular sum-
mons to disperse having Dees made, and deseeibed the
manner is which the troops had &deemed and cleared the
Boulevards right and lefts The witness then stated that
when Genera Changareler heard that the reprneatatives
had taken refuge at the COhaltilatOire, he ordered the need
regiment, under General Cavaignae, to proceed there. Bose
oboes were ffeed and barricades attempted.
Casale Londe, de Saint Asbie, commending the Bth bet•
tan of ekesseurs, add lie uncharged to deer the boulevard
to the Madeleine, after which be proceeded to cane to be
encuatedithe tenses of the Passage Jouffroy, where some in-
dividuals, who appeared very hostile, were crying " Viva la
constitution!" • Vint la republique democratique et n-
age !" "To arms!" His mien were insulted and called
butchers, and General Ctiaagaroier was insulted by a na-
tional "used.
The ProcureurHenetal—Did you hear a shot ?
Witness—Yes, a shot was fired from behind me, but I
cannot tell by whom. I mold not see the farm of the ea-
tined guard who Insulted General Changernier. •
The amused Guinard asked if that national guard bad
not bees greedy ill-treated when alone, and disarmed in a
crowd of armed men ?
the witness said he had had his epaulettes torn off, but it
was not by his men.
Colonel Guyon, of the 2fid dragoons, deposed that he had
token part with his regiment in clearing the boulevards.
The sulamo6l4ll r. quired by law were duly male before the
military acted. He beard several pistcl shots fir. d on the
right and the left. The people cried to the soldiers that
they were executioners—that they were engaged in a fra-
tricidal war—and that they were assassinating the people.
Witness did not see a red flag.
Goiaard Inked if any of the shots had taken effect.
Witness said he thought not.
Guinan observed teat the witness was the only one who
had spoken of pistol shots.
Wausau—Oh! if you want more witnesses, I will bricg
you plenty. (Laughter.)
11. Tisserand, chef erescatiren in the geselanuerie mobile,
assisted in clearing the Boulevards, and heard several pistol-
shots from the Rue Bosse du Reopen. Attempts to form
buriesdos of chain and vehicles were made on the Boule-
vard Montmartre. At the Rote do Bonne Noun lie, on the
boulevard of that name, Ins men were fired on, and they
responded. On arriving in the Rue Vivienne, he saw a
young man in a group of seven or eight persons, who cried
Insolently " Vies la Montagne ! Vivent lee Romafas ! "
Witness accordingly struck him several vi;orout blows with
the flat of his sword, and he fell. (Movement on the bench
of the accused.) The young man was afterwards arrested.
M. Petit,. lieutenant of the gendarmerie deposed
that he commanded a detsclimeut in the column of General
Changarni. it. He took fart is cutting through the dt mon-
'nation near the Rue de Is Pa.x. It was stow a roll from
the drum and the legal summons, that the demonstration was
attacked. The crowd. smoeg whom were national guards
and representatives in their scarfs, at first dispersed, but
afterwards part of them formed into ranks in g sod order,
and advanced towards the troops. Forty or bite foam.
men threw themselves on their hues, uncovered their breaett,
and cried " Will you fire on your brethren ? Will you shed
the blond of your brothers i " Without taking any none, of
this tomfoolery, they charged with the bayonet. (Marks of
indignation Irons the accused.) The people called them as-
Sithl6l; but they were not assassins, and were rather die-
poe-d to kink the rioters than use their bayonets. (Move-
ment.)
The President asked if any soldiers had been injured.
Witness replied that stones and chairs were thrown at
them, which injured some of them, but not seriously.
The amend Guinan here observed, that it was in con.
segos nee of the attack on the els monstration that the repro-
*minting who ware in it went to the Palen National to claim
hie protection, and that was the explanation of his conduct
on the 13-h June. "We are not," be continued. with ani-
mation, " the getters up of civil war, as it is attempted to be
shun, but the true defenders of the republic and the consti-
tution, fur which we ors ready to shed the last drop of our
blood ! (The sensed indicated by their spatulas that they
approved of whet M. Geneva said.) It was at thn =leant
at which, in the free exercise of our rights as citizens, we
eedeavoured to secure the respect of the constitution, that
shameful acts of lindens were displayed towards peaceful
and unarmed citizens; and in this respect you will have ob •
served the words, unworthy of a French officer, which have
fallen hem the witness. I know, for my puts young man,
worthy of all consideration, to whom the humiliating Vest-
ment indicated by the witness was not displayed, for he
was struck,not with the flat side, but with the edge of the
sword !"
The witness—" Alt, yes ! It was I myself who gave the
blow." (General movement of iodigeation, sad violent
murmurs on the benches of the accused )
Guinard—" You boast of it, sir. You boast of having
struck a young man without arms, who had not even a rick
in his hand, and you weer the epaulettes of an officer. You
inflicted on that young man a serious wound, and if it had
not been for his spectacles be would have loot his eye. I
declare that such acts of violence are shameful ! and yet we,
who made the revolution, and had the honour of being at the
hoed of the public force, should have eonaidered ourselves
dishonoured if such an act could be cited against us. We
did not shed a drop of blood."
The I'rocurenr General—" The sensed forgets, but the
jury will not, that the men who pretended to defend the
constitution attacked it in the most violent manner, endea-
voured to overthrow the regulatly constituted authorities
and destroy the mej city elected by universal suffrage. These
men attempted to legalise resistance, but no society would
be possible if the government were at their mercy."
M. Touret (an advocate)—" You forget that the fact that
you used is precisely the quo stitdo to be decided by the
trial. Prove, first of all, that the kneeling men who were
struck by your gendarmes were conspirators. Until you
do that, I tell you that they were free citizens, exercising
their right+. Ought not French officers to have stopped
before their uncovered breasts ? And yet there is one who,
forgetting what the noble national uniform impose] on
him, has had the sad and deplorable courage of bonne; of
having plunged his sword into an uncovered breast. Alo,
the man who could so act is unworthy to wear the French
uniform !"
The amused here rose, in a state of great ezeitereent, and
loudly cried, " Yes, yes !" Bouts of them addressed violent
reproaches to the witness, but what they said could not be
distinguithed in the tumult.
11. Petit (the what»), turning towards the prisoners and
their advocates, raised his arm, and making a disdainful
gesture, cried, "You are all j— f—!" [This is one
of the coarsest epithets in the French language.]
"Not one of you dare to say that to me any when
else !"
At this a volley of venire rations arose from the benches la
the sensed and of the advocates. All displayed the retested
excitement. "It is shameful ' It is Daemons ! We an
outraged ! Kill us, but do not insult us ! The trial is im-
possible!" were smug the cries marred. The tumult be-
came truly fearful, and in the tribunes and the jury the mgt.
Cation was also extreme.
The accused Biome, in a state of great exasperation, and
mien g his papers cried : " Gendarmes, take me away ! I
will not remain hers ! "
Lourion.-1 came here voluntarily to be tried, but if I
had known that I should be insulted, I would not have
given myself up !"
The Procureur-General —We have no intention of defend-
ing the words uttered by the witness; but we must say,
&num It is the truth, that he was insulted In the gravest
manner by one of the advocatee—told that he was unworthy
to wear the French uniform! It was on that account that
he had made use of the reprehensible expression. At the
audience, yesterday, the accused nee in tumult; but each
demonstrations cannot be allowed to be repeated. We de.
mend that the accused who have taken pan is the tumult
shall be *Remised from the audience in virtue of Art. 10 of '
the law of 1835. Then has been applause from the public
tribunes; people forget that they are in the sanctuary of
justice. We persist in our demand.
The accused ?deign—Let us be taken at once to Mont fit.
Michel.
Batine—l will go ! I will not remain to be outraged soy
loneer.
(The gendarmes bogged him to be seated.)
M. Tourrel—l do not accept the lesson of the Proeuromo
General! We expected that. by a requlitios against the
witness, the Proclaim-Genera would have caused the lame,
of defence to be respected in our persons. Bet, as k• lasso
done so, we, for the honour of the gown, are obliged
abandon our friends and brothers ! We will demand of the
nun to decide on the insult addressed to us, and Coo em
the words suffered!
The Proctiremr-General —We present in writing the
demand we just made: we require that all the accused—
for all took part in Use tumult—shall be removed from the

court !
The accused with great violence—" Yes, all! all!"
al. Dan, one of the advocat a, said that the insult made
to the bar required a reparation, but as the proeurear-
general, who had had the honour to wear the robe of the
advocate, bad net defended them, he, for his part, should
retire. (The learned gentleman then took his cap and
withdrew.)
The president here announced that the court would deli-
berate on what should be done.
DuTing the absence of eke judges, the greatest excitement
prevailed in the body of the court. The accused were greatly
agitated and very noisy; the public formed themselves into
groups, and earnestly dimmed the incident which had
arisen, and the advocates were also much excited. Altoge-
ther the scene was one of the most extraordinary ever wit-
ness, d in a court of justice.
After thus qsartvre of an hour's absence, the judges re-
turned, and the President read a decree, in which it was
said that the advocate. M. Teurrel, had outraged the witness
Petit by his observation, ; that Petit had responded by a
gross observation, contrary to the respect due to justice, to
the accused, and to the advocates; that the mused had die-
teethed the dignity of the audience by their demean, but
that it was important for the interest of justice that they
@Mall not he expulsed ; the court accordingly held that
there were error on all sides, but that they were not of stick
a nature as to call for any other measure than a severe re-
probation; and therefore it ordered the trial to proceed.
The sitting was then brought to an end amidst great agi-
tation, but no exclamations were uttered, either by the pub-
lie or the seemed.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-
°Mee from the OOTIMOT of Canada, and aho from the
