they are M. Hus, Athrecate-General, prefaced his con-
clo.ions with a very short ;deeding. " The Coon-
! sel for the Defendant," says he, " has not discuss-
ed the tree points of the ease ; he has traced a large
circle about his defence, and has filled it only with

In fact it is only necessary to read the passages con-
demned to recognise in them the character of the
irreligious, the seditious, and the calumnious, that
the judgment bestows upon them. The calumnies
against the Tribunals are so much the more severe.
inasmuch as they do not specify any act, nor attack
many magistrate, in particular ; they say, in general
terms, • crime has found judges disposed to spare
it, and innocence bloody-minded butchers to perse-

only occupied iu putting to death, and that they have
only sought victims ?—can any one snore clearly
manifest an intention to disquiet the public order?
They have invoked pity for the youth of the De-

rigour. But let us think on what has passed.

After a short reply from M. Merillinu, the Court
deliberated, and pronounced the following decree :
The Court, adopting the motives of the first
Judges, 'nukes void the appeal, and orders that the
original judgment shall have its effect—and, never-
theless, taking into consideration the extreme
youth and inexperience of Jacques-Ainedee-Ferret,
has reduced the punishment of imprisonment to a
year. and the condemned to the expenses.

PARIS, JULY 28.
Yesterday. at noon, the King quitted St. Cloud
for the Castle of Ramhouillet, which his Majesty
has not previously visited fur the spree of 30 years.
The greatest prepa►ations have been made fur his
a►rival. His Majesty departed in an open chariot,
having'by his side the Duke de Gran►mont, Cap.
tsin of his Body Guards. In the fra,it seat were
the Duke. Jr la Chatre and D'A vary.
Their Royal Highnesses the Princes and Prin.
cesses arrived in the morning at Rembouillet, in
order to receive his Majesty.,

The Count St. Aulmre, whose niece it is expect-
ed will be espoused by the Minister of Police,
passed through Bar-le-Duc on the gld instant', on
his way to Paris from Copenhagen.
Ity a letter fruits Florence we learn, that on the
136 instant, Lord Burglier.li, En►oy Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of his Brito • Majesty at the
•Cotrit of Tuscany, invested Rear-Admiral Sir
Thomas Fremantle with the Grand Decoration of
the Military Order of the Bath, in the Palace of
the Ambassador. A spligirlid entertainment was
given on the occasion, at which were present the
Grand Duke and the Princes nod Priticebses of his
family. The hall was decorated with the busts of
the Prince Regent, the Duke of Wellington, Mr.
Pitt, and Mr. Percrval.

A cause relating to a question of public right
will shortly be discussed livfore the Preliminary
Court oT Versailles. France, since the peace, has
become the resort of foreigners, soil the importance
of the decision of the Court, froni the nature of
question, cannot fail to be of general interest. It
is this:—Whether au Englishman, who has ob-
tainedjtigtnent against his debtor in his own coun-
try, can put the judgment in force against his coun-
tr3 man in France.

The General Election is now finished in Ireland,
by the return of Mr. JANE/ DALY and Mr. R.
MARTIN, for the County of Galway, the latter id
the place of D. B. DAL,. Igi the list of Englisli
mid Welch Representatives there are 10 dew
names; among the Irish there ale twenty-six; and,
we believe, the new men for Scotland amount to
four. Thus in the Imperial House of Common.,
consisting of 638 persons, there are 133 new Mem-
, herr', boast'', hut more than one-sixth of the whole.
It hes been calculated that the Opposition have
'gained, by the change, neatly thirty votes at least
on the English part of the Doubt. Of the
Irish part of the Representation, amounting to WO
Members, there are 16 who are favourable' to the
general policy and principle', of the Minister,
and 24 in opposition to them ; and in the 26 new
hlroubers for that country, the Minister has gained
four new friends, and log six old friends.--It thus
appears, if our calculation hr Correct, that, upon
the aggregate, the state of the Trish Representation
is not materially changed its a political point of
view.

Ostend to return to their own country : the Eng.
halt will return by way of Roulugne cud Calais.
