moved from Chatham by order of the Secretary rat
War, and sent to London, in order to be placed un-

Dr. James Forbes, head of the Medical Depart-
ment at Chatham —Waa not aware of any step'
being taken to obviate the mischievous tendency of
the letter, the foundation of the charge; if any
had been taken, presumed lie would have known
it ; knew Mr. Lindsay 15 or 16 years, and ever en-
tertained the highest opinion of him, both as an
officer and a gentleman; had opportunities of know-
ing his character, both on foreign service and at
home. and always thought most highly of him, as
a most humane and zealous officer ; was present,
rod assisting Mr. Deese in a search. for the letter
after Lord raluserston'a speech. It was the opi-
ilion of witness, and that of the other medical offi-
cers, that the men requised no further treatment,
not being susceptible of further improvement ;
witness's opinion was not influenced. in the slightest
degree, by the cireninatailee of their having been
under the care of Sir W. Adams; these two were
the only men ever sent from Chatham to York Hos-

Dr. Arbuthnot stated (without being sworn),
that he had known Mr. Lindsay, both in his public
end private character, ever ►itnce ch,ldhood ; and
a more humane and feeling, and honourable man,
l►e had never known. He could vouch that that
was the opinion of his friends both in England and
Ireland. A single circumstance in his conduct at
the battle of Orthes would, if related, impress

The DEPUTY JUDGE-ADVOCATE said, it was not

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, AUGUST I.

Yesterday. before Mass, which the King heard in
his apartments, his Majesty received the Duke of
Richelieu in private audience. The Noble Duke
remained with the King half an hour.
Miss Hutchinson went yesterday to St. Cloud.
to implore the King's clemency fur the Ea-General
Sarraziu. This Lady was not admitted to the King's
presence: she deposited her petition with the Duke
D'Aumont, the first Gentleman of the Chamber.
A person employed in the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs, who went to Rome in June last. with the
letter of the Bishops to the Holy Father, and with
dispatches from the Government, returned on the
46th of July to Paris. It is thought that the dis-
patches which he has now brought from Rome,
contain the termination of those arrangements which
have for some tiruebeen the subject of nev,ociations.

Two young women, one of them 18, and the
other 22 years of age, have been arrested by the
gendarmes in the commune of Vastly ; the former
named Maris Chauvet, charged with having poi-
soned her father and mother, and the latter named
Marie Morel, uccusrd of having procured the
arsenic for that purpose. Marie Chauvet has con-
fessed the crime, but adds that it was suggested by
her companion, whose object was, that they should
live together. Marie Morel denies having given
this dreadful advice, and declares, that al-
though she procured arsenic, it was on the assur-
ance of Chauvet that the poison was intended only
for rats. The poison was administered by the
daughter to her parents in soup. The unhappy
father died in a few' minutes after hiving taken it,
but the mother was still living on the 26th of last
month. No hopes were etitertained of her recovery.
