When the Conineel had concluded, Hag public Minise►
obtained leave to address the: Court.

S in has accepted Connael only from himself, and that he
believed himself under the necessity cf addeiring grounds of
jesstificat ion which could only do injury to his cause."
The prucureur•General answered the most spreittos of the
Geureal'a arguments, that drawn from the quality of fo-
reigner of Mademoiselle Hutchinson. That lady became
French by her marriage; to 0131011BiU that she was English
would be to determine one Question by another.

General Sarrszin.—.4 Bnt 1 support that 1 myself, from
1813, was no longer Preach. There is a diplomatic act
signed by the Baroe Alquier, which proves that I was a
Swede. Besides, 1 never hooked au myself as the hubloand Of
Mademoiselle Hutchinson, whose conduct--.
President—" Such personalities must not be permitted

for your orb sake."
Sarrazin—" Six months have I been in prison, and I have
Rued cause to be exasperated by the injudicious memoir
that was published against me. Bat this is a sally I pray
the Court to excuse, I shall not be gritty of it again."
The Court retired to deliberate, sled, conformably to the
requisition of the Procureur-Generel, it rejected the excep-
t' sad prejudicial grounds, and ordered that the merits
of the case should be come to.

General Sarrazin then took other objections, and brought
the charge of forgery against the act of Liveurne, conse.
wetly he could never have been married to Mademoiselle
Schwartz. He had deposited aum of 60,000 francs, to be
forfeited in cue he should not marry her, which accordingly
was acquired by the father of this lady. The act products"
wan Hu result, be alleged, of a criminal fabrication. lie
also declared that be would bring a charge of forgery
against the contract, in which be was represented to have
allowed Miss Hutchinson a dower of ten thousand shillings,
reserving the right of prosecuting her as an accomplice.
This allrgstion of forgery was warmly urged by the Advt.-
cate 13 I (General Sarrazin's Counsel) as • reason for
postrunisig further proceedings., until the next Session,
which was opposed by M. Cueinieres, Advocate fur the pro-
seen t ion .

M. Claveau, the Prisoner's Counsel, obtained leave to
speak, unless his client should oppose it. He replies that it
is precisely the decree of the Court of Cessation, which is •
victorious ground for him, since the order of delay of the
13d April was confirmed. [Mademoiselle Hutchinson strewed
here an extraordinary eagerness.] Did she fear that she would
not see the mau whom she announced as bee ►usband sad
the father of her child, condemned with sufficient dispatch ?
After some further argument, the Court ordered that they
shotid proceed to the evideuce.
General Sarrasin raised op another difficulty, and requir-
ed that the Duke de Is Mitre, the Duke de Dalmatie, the
Duke de 'Parente, add the Minister of War should be sum-
atoned as witnesses', to give au explanation of his political
situatioo at the time abut pretended marriage in England.
Arleen/me remarks, however, from the Advocate-General
and the President, he desisted from his design, and the exa-
mination was entered on.
The President—`t You have bail children by Mademoi-
selle Schwartt?"—A. She had a child which was born at
Brest, but it was whets I had been absent eighteen months.
Q. Neves thrlesa you have allowed that you had children
by Ilailensuisrlle Schwartz and by Mademoiselle H Orkin-
son ?—A. Hy Mademoiselle Schwartz, perhaps, but by Ma-
demoiselle Hutchinson, never.
Q Your contract of nuirriage with Mademoiselle Schwartz
was executed since shit recovered her dower, after having
recovered judgment?—A. That was because I do not love
law-soiti.

Q. Iu England you abjured the Catholic, to embrace the
Protestant religion?—A. That, Sjr, is foreign from the
affair of bigamy; I require yo' oot tp speak of it.
Q.. 1118 important to establish every thing . which has a
relation to your marriage with Mademoiselle Hutelsioson.
Besides, you have allowed in your memoir to the Chancellor,
that you hare attended the congreAatipos of Protestant Mi.
oisters ?—A. It was to amuse myself. It was much better
than doing as many others did, and frequent houses of pro-
stitution or play.
This rallur free mode of expressioa excited t movement
among the audience. The Prisoner excused himself, and
added," I have always had good morals, and very go"d
morals. 1 have here a certificate front my Instpr in the
Pepartment of Lot et G trounc, which attests, that fur se-
veral years I fulfilled my duties al a good Catholic. The
true motive into much persecution is to be found in the
jealousies that my political works have excited."
Q. Mademoiselle Iltatcbitasobe was delivered or a child the
14t6 March, 1914, which sprang from your works.—A.
Them 1 ask why they did out baptize it for twenty months
stfier!

The President then read several passages from the cor-
respondence of the General with Mademoiselle Hutchinson,
otter she had quitted the conjugal roof. The following is
u extract from WIC letter

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY, JULY es, Isl 9.

The Gaulle of last night contains a Proclama-
tion offering a reward of 3001. for the discovery of
the person who sou-illy discharged the pistol ut
WILLIAM BIRCH, the constiible, at Stockport, and
a further sum of 501. for the discovery of any of his
accomplices. It also promises his MAJESTY'S most
gracious pardon to any one of the persons engaged
in the perpetration of the act (with the exception of
the individual who actually discharged the pistol),
who shall discover his accomplices, Do that they or
any of them may be brought to conviction. We
sincerely hope that this Proclamation may have the
effect for which it has been so promptly and pru-
dently issued.

From the terms in which this Proclamation is
couched, it would seem that the statement which
represented the act of assassination as having been
perpetrated amidst the confusion and clamour of a
crowd, was incorrect, and that the crime was not
committed with the connivance of a large body of
people. It is 'toted in the Proclamation that three
men went on Friday night, at the advanced hour of
ten o'clock, to Biacm's house, and that having
there engaged him in some conversation regarding
his prisoner, HARRISON, one of the ruffians dis-
charged a pistol at Isis breast. Even amidst the
horror which the contemplation of so dreadful •
crime necessarily inspires, it would be in some
degree consolatory to think that the assassins
derived no countenance or encouragement from
any considerable body of the populace, that they
sought the season of darkness as congenial to
their horrid intention, and from a conscious. I
nets that tat any other time they would have found
it impossible to mope the virtuous indignation of
the public. The first intelligence of this revolting
act appeared iu the Ministerial Papers, and there
of course some exaggeration must have been ex-
peeled. It was a truly alarming circumstance, that
a cold and malignant essasrisiation had been per.
Twitted upon an inoffensive officer of justice, with
the sanction of a large assembly of the people, who
protected the assassin and covered his retreat.
Such an event, if true, would speak a dreadful
revolution in the public mind of England, which
must reflect disgrace upon the Government ;
it is therefore surprising that the Treasury Print.
should display such sedulous anxiety to re-
present the transaction in the darkest colour%
That three men should have conspired to commit
• murder under such aggravating circumstances, is
of itself sufficiently shucking, without striving to
implicate the whole population of Stockport.
Great pains are taken to inculcate the notion,
that a strict union exists between till the Reformers
of the kingdom, and that the various public Meet._
ings which have Leen and continue to be held in
different places are the result of an uniform and
consistent plan. The arguments to prove this are
drawn from the circumstance, that a man named
WARD, of Nottingham, appeared at the Stockport
Meeting, and also at the Meeting in Smithfield,
anal that HARRISON, of Stockport, was praised at
the Smithfield Meeting, Ly HUNT ; therefore, say
the Ministerial scribes, there is a conspiracy among
the Reformers. This is a fair specimen of the logical
powers occasionally displayed by the Gentlemen
of the Treasury Press, and would, no doubt, be
quite conclusive before a Green Bag Cotntnittee,
particularly as the rule of proceeding on those inte-
resting State occasions, when the Ministers think it
convenient to draw up a bill of indictment.ageinvt
the whole community, prescribes that the evidence
shall he received export*, and that the accused shall
not be permitted to allege one circumstance in their
own clefvuce. Bat we pray the public to mark
the first link in this happy chain of reasoning.
