.) Ile was then shot. liThe courage with which a French
Officer meets his death ought not to surprise any person,
but even this very courage makes us regret the great error
which batdeptived,his country of it.
It is generally thought that the Allied troops will begin to
evacuate France the beginning of next month—it is added
that they will depart in columns of 25,000 men. The opi-
nion is connected with another idea not less agreeable,
which is, that the Treaty of Peace is concluded, and that it
ensures the integrity of the French territory.
Marshal Ney arrived yesterday morning at Paris, under the
escort of two Officers of Genda!merie, who travelled in the
.coach with him. Ile was first sent to the Prefecture of Police,
and afterwards to the Conciergerie.
A large quantity of English troops have just arrived at
Montmartre to relieve or reinforce.tbe garrison of that fort.

PARIS, Atm 21.—Marshal Suchet is to. leave Roanne.
It •is not yet known where he will go to.
The Prince of Orange wilt leave town this evening for the
Hague, where be is•expectetl to arrive by the 26th. it being
the hirth-day of the King of the Netherlands. This Prince
will then go to the waters of Spa. Prince Frederick, his
brother, remains at Paris.

M. Lelorgne d'ldeville, one of the ancient Secretaries of
the Cabinet of Buonaparte, was arrested at Melun, by order
of the military authorities.

A great number of French soldiers of all descriptions ar-
rive daily at Paris; the best spirit seems to animate them.
They say that the most perfect order prevails throughout the
army of- the Loire. They repair tranquilly to the officers Of
the staff of this division, some in order to be incorparated in
the new army, and others to obtain their demission, and to
return to their departments.

The body of Colonel Labedoyere has been carried to tl:e
church-yard of Vaugirard. It is asserted that it is but pro-
visionally deposited there, as it is expected the family will
remove it to some other burying place.

I The Journals contain two remarkable facts, which ought
not to be separated. All France, and all the foreigners hail
their eyes fixed on the King, to discover whether his bound•
would be carried so far as to pardon Labedoyere, or whether
he would abandon him to his just sentence. The criminal
hid the most
,interesting of mothers, a young and amiable
wife, a child of tender age, a family attached to the B0:11'•
bons, and who, as the numerous partisans of Btionaparte sad.•,
always ready to justify attempts in favour of that Chief, st;
are so attached. It doubtless was painful to the best of
Kings to refuse to yield on any consideration. But coul.l
he ? Ought he to have yielded ? No, the crime was in ts
nature unpardonable. Labefloyere, loaded with favours by
the Monarch, connected by his relatives with the Court,
violated his oath, disobeyed his Chief, proclaimed rebellion,
smoothed The road of the Usurper to the throne, and becan-
thereby one of the causes of the invasion of his country, a'ci
of the incalculable evils which have been its consequence.
Such a crime does not merely affect the person of the Kin,!,
it is national, and public vengeance could only be satistiLd
