it is rendered criminal;

4‘ 4. It was refused to call witnesses in exculpation."

The President interrupted the Counsel, and asked, whe-
ther the accustd had cited or designated any witnesses by
name.

M. Mauguin admitted, that his client had not designated
any. Then continuing his objections, he insisted, 14 that
there was no identity between the individual brought before
the Council under the name of Charles Angelique.Wrancois
de Labedoyere, and the prisoner; to whom the riamei of
Charles Angelique had only been given." .t,`•
An interesting part of the discussion turned on the ques-
tion whether the Ordinance of the 6th of March cbuld be
applied. The rigorous terms of that Ordinance appeared
to be mitigated by that of the 23d, and particularly by the
Proclamation made by the King at Cambrai, dated the r,"th
of June, on his entering France. In that Proclamation
the King declared his intention to be, to deliver to the tri-
bunals only the authors and instigators of the horrible plot
which had brought back Bonaparte.

The Counsel had made a vague use of the words Treason
and Rebellion. It should have been distinctly proved that
Colonel Labedoyere was an author or instigator of the plot.
M. Ricard, Procurcur du Rai, refuted these objections in
their order. There was no incompetence in the second
Council sitting at Paris. A formal law gave the War Mi-
nister the right v►hen there was no Council in one division,
to refer the accused to such other Council as he should judge
proper.

With respect to the reference of the cause to the second
instead of the first Council, the Governor, Count Alaison,
had the right of making that substitution. The other al-
ledged grounds of objection did not appear to him sufficient
to annul the proceedings. Ile consequently concluded by
moving the Council to confirm the judgment. •
At noon the Council withdrew to the Hall of Deliberation►
and at one o'clock pronounced the &flowed judgment:
" Considering that the second Council was competent, that the
proceedings have been regularly conducted, and the law rightly
applied, declares tinanimousty that the said judgment is confirmed,
and that it shall have its full and entire execution."
PARIS, Auca. 40.—Yesterday, at four in the afternoon. as
the King was about to get into his' carriage, a lady, in deep
distress burst through the crowd, and felt at his Majesty't
feet, crying out, "Pardon, pardon, Sire!" She was. imme-
diately recognized to be Madame de Labedoyere.--" Ma-
dame," said the King, " I know your sentiments and thine
of your family, and never was it more painful to me t• pro-
nounce a refusal." Madame Labedciyere fainted ; proper
remedies were immediately applied. The King got into his
carriage with visible emotion.

As the King was yesterday going out, Madame Labedovere
fell at his feet, to solicit .her husband's pardon. The King
replied, that if M. Lahedoyere had only offended him, his
pardon should be granted; but that all Prance demanded the
punishment of the man who. had brought upon her all the
scourges of war. The King deigned to promise his protectiori
to her and her child. •

At six o'clock, when the King was returning from his ride,
the mother of M. Labedovere was in the court of the Castle,
to intercede with the King. Seeing that measures had been
taken to prevent her from getting to the vestibule, and
renewing a scene equally painful and useless, sbe retired. She
vas in deep ruouining.
