facts of the arrest. fie is himself one of the ac-

M. Lumiere, • half-pay bfficer, deposed to Ca ffe
making proposals to him to become one of the
Knights of Liberty.
Colonel titivatel stated, that Berton had avowed
his discontent with the Government, had infornied
him of the movements which were to take place at
Rennes, Nantes, sod other places, and asked him
to take part in the affair, promising him promotion
and 10,000 byres mates.

Col. Chest'llon proved the presence of M. Mix
at Brnt, on she sth of January, and that, after
being informed of M. Mix'a character, he had re-
fused further to commumeitte witb him.

M. Cherassert, whose father it oilman is one of
the editors of the Coulitationnel, was employed
by M. Mix to deliver a message to Col. Chastities.
He met with M. Alix in a stage couch, and thus
became acquainted with him. . . .

Another 'witness proved that M. Ali: had known
several officers of the regiment to which the witness

lESILITII, AUGUST 12.

Since my last, letters have been received from
Epirus, by which it •ppears that Count Norman°
could not have been present at the affair at the Ther.
tnopylus. The great ignorance of geography of
many Greeks has probably made them confound him
with some other General; however, Normans is said
likewise to have gained a victory in Albania on the
20th of July, but the particulars are not known. So
much is known for certain, that in the middle of July
he was posted with Bozsari Dear Arta, which is 80
leagues from Thermopylae. 1 have • letter horn
Bitoglia before me of July 31, which likewise an-
nounces the entire defeat of Chourschid Pach• at the
Thermopylae.—[This is the letter statihk the Pacha
to have been taken prisoner, with 70 Beys and
11,000 Turks. To this is subjoined the other re-
port of the defeat of the Greeks on the 13th, and
of their victory on the 14 h July, and the heroic
conduct of young Bonnie, who defended the
Thermopylae with 700 men, but Inst his life, &c.]
