THIRD DAY.

The Count Worniszoff, Aide-de-Camp of the
Einprror of Russia, &c. was cited as a redness.
To some questions from Marinet, the witness an-
swered—l was in Paris when the attempt was made,
in a few days after I departed for Maubeuge. I
was in bed there when I was informed that Lord
liisarird desired to see me; I desired that he may
enter, and he apprised me that he was going to
and was taking with bins the man who
awl been in the conspiracy. I asked, if he
w,re the own who fired the pistol ? Lord
liiimaird replied, .1 No, but at Paris the entire
history will be known.' I did not learn until
some time after that it was M. Marinet who was
traveling with Lord Kinnaird, and I ought to add,
that according to all reports which reached me
from Moos and Brussels, he did not determine on
this measure until be saw himself on the point of
being arrested at Brussels."
In the course of his examination the Count said,
May I be permitted to soy something ? I am
delighted to have this opportunity of rendering a
pwhbc homage to the Duke of Wellington. Lord
Wellington commanded the Army of Occupation
in France; it embraced seven departments, and in
se departments more justice was done to him
ti,m hare.

The Sieur Lamy (called Fibre), one of the refu-
gees at Brussele, and one of the most important
witnesses in the written procedure, was introduced.

own countrymen, even when speaking of the
wattle of Waterloo. Marinet, however, said he

had not slept with her, she replied that she had

MONDAY. Mal' 17, IBM

The Paris Paper,. of Wednesday and Thursday
last, which have naive.' at our office, con: do an
account of the proceedings of the second and third
day on the trial of CANT' I. LON and MARINET, for
the attack on the Duke of WELLtooTorc The
principal witnesses examined on the first day
were two servants of Lord WELLINGTON, who
spoke of the firing of the pistol, and attempt-
ed to identify CANTILLON as the assassin ; but
it seemed that the moon din not shine, and
every one must be aware of the difficulty of
ascertaining the features, and even the dress of an
individlial, in the streets at night, under even more
favourable circumstances that seem to have at.
tended this case. Illoalterr, one of the prisoners,
appears to be • Min of respectable family.—
lie has had a good education, and has practised for
some time as an advocate. CANTILLON was a
soldier. During the proceedings M ARIN ET made
some remarks on the want of faith which was ob-
served towards him, in not allowing him the benefit
of a safe conduct, which he says was ensured to him
ill a letter from Lord WELLINGTON to Lord KIN.
NAIAD, previous to his departure from Brussels to
Paris. The existence of this safe conduct was
denied by the ADVOCATE-GENERAL, who, in his
speech, alluded to the honour of Lord WELLING-
TON. The allusion, however, seemed to have had
no very advantageous effect on the audience, for
it was followed by a general expression of con-
tempt, both from the Counsel and the multitude
assembled to hear the trial. On the following
day Count WORONZO77, the Russian General. ap-
peared as a witness, and evidently referring to this
insolent conduct of the Counsel and audience,
passed a high eulogium on Lord WELLINGTON,
and said, that having commanded the army of occu-
pation in France, extended over seven departments,
the gallant Duke had received more justice from
the inhabitants of these than in the Assize Court of
Paris. An alibi is attempted to be proved by CAN.
T 11.1.011. The trial is not yet terminated.
These Papers contain no further intelligence re-
specting the rumoured changes iu the Government

The Chamber of Deputies is occupied in debat-

We have receieed Philadelphia and Boston Pa-
pers to the 16th. and New York Papers to the
lath of April. A vessel arrived at the hitter city
from Valparaiso, reports. that she had left there
some ships of war and transports taken from the
Royalists. with 1,00 troops and property to a large
amount on board. Valparaiso is a sea-port town
of South America, on the coast of Chili. situate on
• hay of the Southern Pacific Ocean. The last ac-
counts from that quarter encouraged an expectation
that Lord COCHRANE would speedily commence
his operations on that side, and this capture may
be wale of the first fruits of his enterprise; but
the report is too vague sod general to obtain credit
to its present shapet The United States have

A letter from Bermuda, dated April 3, BHP—
" The Beliefs, Captain GEO. PECHELL, is going
immediately so cruise along the Billiton', in search
of a pirate, which plundered the schooner, Sir
Thomas Hardy, off %1 •deira. These islands ate
in a very fitiurishilig state, owing to the Free Po►t
Act, which causes the harbour to be filled with
American vessels. General JACKSON appears to be

the Union as the rising General."

wiy-els, which are fixed on a spindle, or axle-tree,
pro.p.ciint: from the ship's side, immediately under
the mart-deek, and just befo►e the gang-way. The
Attire storied from the upper part of the Harbour
about first quarter flood, and succeeded in getting
abreast of the PI .iform, against an increasing con-
trary tide, mooing about two and a half riots, in a
narrow chanstel, and alight hre•ze of contrary wind,
when, the wind freshening. and it being against the
orders of the port that a ship of war should anchor
in the narrows, she was dropped into the harbour
again. In this movement the use of the paddles
were seen, as they worked backwards with equal
facility ; neithe► wa►p nor bast aided her until she
anchored again. Had she started from the har-
bour's mouth, and at an earlier period of the tide,
she would have easily matte lwr way to Spttliesd.
