assurance, even from the Treasury writers them-
selves, that the conduct of nil the criminals, except
Raison, displayed a state of iiitiilel indifference to
the consolations of religion and the belief of a
future existence. The questions were proposed
with gentleness and answered without reluctance,
and the whole occurrence could nut have occupied
many seconds. It is, however, inconsistent and

The Paris Papers due yesterday had not reached
this Mice at • late hour last night. A private
letter, however, has been received from the French
capital, v.hich states that a considerable body of
Erench troops, amounting to 18 or 20,000 men, is
now forming on the borders of the I'yrenees. The
toter says, that the avowed object of collecting
this force is the protection of the French territory
against the inroads of marauders and banditti. and
undi,riplitted guerillas, over whom it is supposed
that MINA cannot exercise sufficient control, front
the impossibility he feels of paying his troops. It
was repot tell in Paris that the Duke of ANGOULEMI
intended to place himself at the head of this army;
hut this rumour is said to be unfounded. His
Royal Highness reposes a few days at Dijon,
whence he repairs to Lyons, and after having re-
viewed the regiments now in garrison there, he re-
tut iis to Paris by Grenoble, La Frenche Comte,
Alsscr, and La Lorraine. The Prince's health has
scarcely recovered the shock which the deplorable
catast he of the Duke of BERRY occasioned :it
