" The complaint which I hate Made against my

whom I ',tenni end for myself of great importance,

crifice every thing to the desire accessing to this so-

" Ned I obeyed in the fieWtlisitance ihie order for

not to encamp thentselves there with too great
security. lam determined riot to resign to them
the victory without disputing it ; and I swear that
iby conscience tells me they will mit obtain it.
They have been able to enjoy a thomentary triumph.
Circumsta►►ces, I admit, have developed themselves
at the will of the hatred which pursues me, iu a way
to excite the fears of those *hoare interested in► my
fate. Scarcely had I preferred my complaint against
toy calumniators, when, on a sudden, they tun►
round and accuse Use of having conspired against
my King. Upon this pretext they have inipVivon-
ed my beet friends; seised at their hooks a►►d at
mine my poets, letters whieh I have received
from Ministers, orders whieh they had gi'ven
me, my correspondence with them. They
have thrown me between two conspiracies—
the more recent of which is Intended to obtain
credit for the first. I most expose their mosixtue-
re* ; and however urgent the anxiety which I feel
st length to throw the clearest light upon the
events at Lyons, I must, in preference to
every thi►►g, repel the odious suspicions in which
they have had the perfidy to envelope me. I
must clear myself from a crime which I detest.
I esteem too much the Advocates whom I have
chosen not to be convinced that they will refuse me
assistance, so long as such • prejudice presses upon
me. It was necessary that I should recover the
pipers that hate been taken front me, that i 1 should
collect the witnesses cud the partite who are to
figure in the process. I demand, then, that the
judgment on the complaint which I have made
should be delayed until this ptetended conspi•
racy itself shall have been tried. I shall go im-
mediately before the Judge of Instruction-1
shall kern, I shall perhaps see, of what sort
is really in France the security of the laws at►d
of the tribunals, against which they dare to raise
injuriutis doubts, that I cannot have the benefit of
it when I think a Bourbon governs us. lam in
future under the protection of the laws: under that
of public opinion. I fear nothing, fbr I sin under

coo miry."

After this speech, which frequently excited the
smile of Colonel Fabsier, M. Mongol'', the mho-
cite of the latter, rose. " General Cantor'," says
he. " has spoken in a tone which announces his con-
fidence in the victory which lie etpects from the

believed that at Lyons the General, instead of on-
foldiug conspiracies, has devised them—that instead
*of curbing, of repressing the seditious, it is he who

expose himself without defence to his enemies,
armed with all their papers. Let the arms be
equal, and they shall sat see us recoil before them.
M. Matiginn replies-They present to you the
cousideretions, end not the means of arriving at
justice. The General pretends that he is obliged
to justify himself. Ah ! General, which of us has
darer? to demand that of you ? It is we who are ac-
eusisi by you, and here we appear; we know suffi-
ciently the events of Lyons, to be sure that they
have not beets able to deprive yod of papers nem,.
eery to your jnatification. We have proof of that.
People have sent agitators through the country.—
You bed not, without doubt; among your papers
letters of ministerk, giving you orders to send oat
these agitators. General Canuel (continues M.
Manguise) gives a singular proof of Isis love far
the Wag. He accuses the Government of hew-
. ing devised a conspiracy with the single aim of
taking away from him his papers. Ah! Gene-
ral. if you admit that they invent 'conspiracies,
you render very probable that which we pledge
ourselves to prove, that they have invented that
of Lyons. I opdose the adjournment iu all its
parts.

After five minutes deliberation, the Court post-
poned the eainie to Saturday. the tst of August.
Every thing concurs to invest this process with great
eclat the importance of the facts, the name and

dertake to conduct it.

LON DON,

MONDAY. JULY r. 1818.

We haire received the Paris Papers of Wednes-
day and Thursday last. Great stress had been
laid upon the disappearance of General CANULL,
charged as a principal ht the alleged Ultra-Royalist
conspiracy. This has been urged by his political
oppo:tritts as proof or the crime. Contrary to
their eltptctations, the General has attended in
person before the Court of Correctional Police,
and rtioveil the postponement of the actions for
cal y which he had isittituted against SIiNNK
mix and FABNIIiIt, on the ground that the
Police had rrceutly melted at his house various
papers necessary to the Support of his cause.

It appears dna these -pewits, SeoesETrti.v.,
FABVIIIII.. had indulged in cm:ninnies against G•fis.
and that the inotizent Is commenced a
prissecntiOn for libel against them, they retorted
with a formal charge of treason against lain, Ge-
neral CANUUL, in justification of his conduct, in
thus withdrawing hintseft from the criminal ',nicest,
stated the horrors of solitary confinement in France,
and the 'consequent disadvantages in snaking his
defenCe, to which it would PioPlect him. No
liberal mind, we believe, will deny the justice of
this plea.

The Washington Papers of the 20th last, recently
arrived, a aaaaaa (nice the capture of Pensacola by
General JACKSON. It is Mentioned iu a letter from
the British Consul at Philadelphia, who adds, that
irivording to report 500 American soldiers were
killed or wounded *to the attack. Pelisse°le is the

On Tuesday arrived at Portsmouth the rifleman,
IS, Captain N. DUFF, from Jamaica and the Hew
vannah station ; sailed from Port Royal lilt Jane,
■nd from the Havannah on the 14th of that month,
and brought 800,000 dollars on account of mer-
thanta. The Cherub, Captain Wir.i.Es, has sent
into Port Royal the Spainllll brig Descabradur, of
14 guns mud 40 Men. and schooner La Couch, of
one gun and 35 men, detained on the Coast of
Africa upon suspicion of piracy. The indepeniient
cruiser, Brutus, had captured a Spanish brig with
43,000 dollars on board, besides a cargo of co-
lonial produce; and the brig President, under
Republican colours of Buenos Ayres, had cap-
tured a large brig, from the United States, for La
Vera C►uz, with a cargo insured zit 110,000 dol-
lars. The squadron under Sir DuME Poetiam,
was thus employed, for the protectiou of our trade
and interests, against the Independent and Piratical
cruisers so numerous in those seas :—S.etrille, at

Campeachy ; Pique, at St. Jagn de Cunha and St.
Domingo ; Tyriax, at Vera Cruz ; Larne, on pas-
sage from thence to Port Royal, with a huge q 11411•
tity of specie; Pelican, Primrose, and Beaver,
cruising ; Shearteater, at the Havaimali ; the itsic,
gone with convoy to Carib:Tens.

OD Friday the Opossum, 16, Lord Jon* HAY,
arrived at Portsmouth from the Halifax station,
where she had been stationed two years and a half,
to be paid off, the Grasshopper being on passage
to relieve her. She sailed on the gd instant, when
the Leander, Forth, n'ye, and Sae:tens, were lying
there; the Dee was ernising. The most perfect
quietude and amicable disposition prevailed through-
out the station, even to the tardiest Lake in Upper
Canada. We are happy to hear that Sir DAVID
health was perfectly restored by his an-
nual visit to Bermuda. His Excellency the Earl
of DaLitouslE and Countess had embarked in the
Forth, to visit some of the Western purta. After
their return the Earl and Sir DAVID MILNE would
visit Cutuberland and the Bay of Verti.

A vessel is tow moored off the Tower, for the
purpose of enlisting seamen for the navy. It is re-
ported to be the intention of the Admiralty to fit
out twelve sail of the line for the naval review so
long talked of, and which is again lint oft until
the latter end of August. Thii statement is, hoirr
ever, not credited among nautical men, and specul
Winn is busy in finding 'nine other employment
fur our seamen than a nav,:l review.

A copy of a wurraut recently istued in favour of
the widows of military officers who marry again,
and also of the widows of officers dying on the half-
pay, is giVen in another part of onr Paper. The
restraint put on such marriage.' by the previous re-
gulation., it is feared, bus operated strongly to the
iiisAdvantage of morality. Many officers' widows
have been prevented, by the certainty of losing
their pensions, from itnpeovhig their situation in
life ; and many, possessing more passion, hate lived
with the object of their atfeetinn in an equivocal and
mysterious relation, or the avowed mistress of
the man to whom, but for these restraints, she
might have been the wife. The cause of morality
must therefore gain by the new regulation, and it
deserves all the praise of liberality. As a measure
calculated to increase the Pension List, it militates
with the spirit of economy and retrenchment, and
therefore will not probably receive the unqualified
approbation of those who consider them of liars-
mount importance in our system.
