A frightful crime has just been committed at
Pills, near Perth. in Hungary. The young Count
de Bellissnay, a Hungarian, had already been ar-
rested for killing a chaaaeur, and committing itis of
. violence against his father; he remained in prawn
. Id months. Having been set at liberty, lie had
• new quarrel with hi. father, whom he taxed with
avarice. He seized a double-barrelled gun, and
directed it against the authol. of his days; the first
slot only slightly wounded the old man. Some
persons who ran up endeavoured to carry nit the
buttons young Mall, but lie burst from their hands
and discharged the second ahot,which blew to pieces
the head of his lather already fallen on the ground.
According to another account, the first shut was
directed at a domestic, and struck the father only
by accident : some persons also speak of two pistols
instead of a double-barrelled gun. The guilty
youth attempted to fly but was stopped by his own
peasants, who delivered: him up to justice. One
might perceive in Mir dreadful event a proof of
the slow effects of divine justice ; the Count Bel-
liinnay, the fattier, had, it is said, killed several of
Isis peasants, and maltreated them all in the moat
cruel manner.

FLANDERS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

naysseLs. JULY 38.
Few causes are worthy of greater noisiest than
that which yesterday 'directed a numerous auditory
to the sittings of the Court of Cessation. The rank
of the person offended, the importance of the deci.
sloe which the Supreme Court was going to pro.
isounce, and still more the alarm which has been
for a long time sounded, as if the most p►ecious of
our liberties were threatened with the attack of
(arbitrary) power, every thing occurred to increase
the importance of a decision, in which the attack
and the defence were likely to be equally rigorous,
and in which it was hoped that we should have a
barrier fixed between liberty and licentiousness.
Our readers remember the subject of the com-
plaint. The intendant of Martinique, represented
as a cruel man, and whose condom had been insult-
ing (revenant) to French officers, is attacked, ac-
cording to the paragraph, cud dismissed by the
French Ministry; lint this discharge is revoked by
the intercession of the Noble Lord, who grants his
protection to this functionary, because he very well
administers the Colony in favour of a foreign Go-
vernment.

M. Counsellor Jouhaud first, speaking warmly,
attacked the preliminary gmundsi (les eunsiderans)
of the sentence 'hissed at Ghent, particularly that
in which the tribunal determines that the Noble
Lord is too great for petty scribblers (jullietsluires)
to injure hi* honour.
M. Beyens divided the article complained of.
Vie endeavoured to prove that the first part had no
relation to the appeals, and that the second did not
contain a calumny ; that a public functionary
might favour a foreign Government without a dere-
liction of duty ; and that at all events en English
General, favouring those who are devoted to the
English Government, cannot merit the contempt of
his fellow-cili2erst, in the sense which the law gives
to that word.

The reply of M. Counsellor Tarte, senior, fixed
the attention of The hearers by the force of reason-
ing which he displayed in it. In the nobleness of
the sentiments which lie repressed, in the over.
powering force of his arguments, every body recog-
nised the Magistrate who had left at the bar of
Brussels such h., curable recollections before the
studious youth come to hear in the school of law
his profound lesson.; the man, in short, who will
never be the Corypheus of any party, but whom
the bar will always be proud to reckon among its
members. _ .

.....
Mr. Jouhaud terminated the defence of the
Noble Lord by • movement, which he seemed to
have &awn from his soul, and which was 14 homage
to the most generous principles. " All Europe,"
stud he, " lass commissioned Lord 11'ellington to
watch over the repose of a nation whose strength and
independence have been proclaimed necessary to the
equilibrium of Europe ; and lie would be worthy
of the contempt of mankind, we openly declare it,
if, becoming the oppressor of this, notion, he had, by
a perfidious use of the force confided to his hands,
directed his efforts to an ohjsct directly opposes'
to the policy and the noble lkt siiiments of the Al-
lied Powers. And who would this oppressor be?
It would be he who has acquired rights to the esteem
of all nations; whom, inersting the eulogiums given
to his moderation in the midst of the French Senate,
he placed Ins justice its the balance in which was
weighed the exaggerated claims of the same looser,
the claims of his own country; it would be he, whom
we should soon hear, if it were necessary, proclaim its
the midst of the ;assembled Sovereigns, these truths
so consolatory to Europe. France is tranquil ; its
Ouvelminent advance* with it firm and steady step
tomer& the politic happiness; already hatreds sire
extinguished tf an insensate faction yields to the
delirium of its hove', disappointed tL its l..st
effort, it Ca rvet •oread the cry of alarm ;
and the attitude or all France loudly proclamis
that she is already sufiicieutly guarded by her love
For her king, and by the conservatory principles
which the Mtectiell has proclaimed."
