REMOVAL OF M. DE POLIGNAC,

The newspapers have published some anecdotes
rehiring to the removal of the three Ministers Pey-
ronnet, Chantelauze, and Guernon Ranvilte. We
subjoin some information regarding the removal of
M. tie PoJigsaw. M. Th— (#) aide-de-camp of
General Lafayette, and M. Ron, aide-de-camp of
the Minister of War, arrived at St. Loo cn the
night of the 25th and 26th. After having assem-
bled the municipality, in order to convince it of their
authority, they placed the Ex-Minister its a post-
chaise, which in 24 hours brought them to Paris.
M. Polignac seeing the precaution employed for his
removal expresed some fear that his journey would
not be unattended with danger. " We are enjoined
to take care of your person," said his companions,
" so that any danger we shall run must be common."
On the road M. Polignac said but little; his
thoughts betrayed themselves in exclamations only.
There was a discussion respecting several letters,
which are inserted in the instruction du proas, and
which relate to the fires in Calvados. These
letters, in which the name of the Ex-Minister
figures conspicuously, declare, it is said, the indi-
viduals who were guilty of those crimes. M. de Po-
lignae was perpetually blaming those guilty wretches,
adding, that he knew nothing of them, anti that he
was ignorant of the extremities to which his party
had pushed them. With regard to the ordinances,
ho alleged the pleasure of Charles the Tenth. Every
word of his conversation displayed the most com-
plete ignorance of men and opinions. Bread and
wine were the sole provisions of the travellers. The
carriage arrived at four o'clock in the morning at
the hotel of the Minister at War, which the travel-
lers left a few minutes afterwards in his carriage.
They reached the wood of Vincennes at half-past
six o'clock, and then sent on a courier to prepare
General Dumesnil to receive the prisoner. Dur-
ing that time a very curious conversation took place
between M. de Polignac and M. Th.—, one of his
companions. An observation of M. having
informed M. tle Polignac that he had been in Eng-
land, the latter asked him at what period he had
been there. "In 1821, Sir; you were then Am-
baeM. Th—, that you
w
was
a refugee there after
thesrse:y idno
war in
Spain."ii iv as

Afteras it,
the reflection of a mo-
ment, M. de Polignac said, ".That is singular,"
Then looking at M. Th—, " I did not see you," he
said, "in England." 6' No, Sir, my situation, my
opinions, and my feelings of propriety prevented it."
" I was useful to some of your companions." M.
Th— replied, that he knew it. In point of fact,
M. de Polignac favoured the return of some of the
refugees to France.
A messenger came to inform them that the car-
riage might proceed. It entered the chateau. The
prisoners were placed in the pavilion of the Queen,
each in a separate apartment. At half-past four
o'clock the order was given to remove them to the
donjon of Vincennes. The National Guard and the
garrison of Vineennea, from curiosity, anti not as
matter of duty, lined the road along which they had
to pass. The sentries alone were under arms.
An officer on the stafT,of the garrison, the corn-
mender of the detachment, and a captain of grena-
diers belonging to the sth legion, entered the apart-
merit of M. de Polignac and informed him that he
was to be transferred to the donjon. He was placed
between two grenadiers, and, attended by the officers
above mentioned, crossed the court-yards of the
chateau with head uncovered. A profound silence
prevailed. On the staircase of the donjon, he re-
quested leave several times to rest, and leant upon
the musket of one of the. grenadiers. His figure,
though worn, was calm. When he arrived is the
town prepared for him, General Dumesnil led him
into it, and the door closed upon him.
The same officers then went with the same cere-
mony to wait on M. de Peyronnet. His figure was
less worn titan that of the other Ex-Ministers. He
bad his hat on, as lie crossed the court-yard. When
he had got to the middle it, a mats, who did not be-
long to any of the first six legions, stinek him on
the cheek, crying aloud with great violence—
" Down on your knees, and ask pardon, thou wretch,
for having dared to fire at the people."
The National Guard, always preserving a deep
.silence, repressed his cry, extorted, it is said, by
grief from a man, who lost his brother on the bloody
days et. the 27th and 28th.
M. de Peyronnet continued Isis march. On the
staircase of the donjon, he also rested several times.
Ile asked for snuff, of which it is said he had not
had any for three days. After he had reached the
Salle des Garde:, he was shut up in the apartment
which WilS prepared for him.
The two other Ministers, MM. Guernon de
Renville and Chantelauze, were led separately its the
same manner, to the donjon, where each of them
was placed in a separate chamber. They crossed
the court-yard with their Isms off. It was observed,
that us he passed near the Castle Chapel, M. Guer-
non do Renville turned his eyes mystically upon it.
Silence was not broken. The appearance of these
gentlemen WAS cast down, especially that of M. tie
Chantelauze, whose emotion was so great -when the
officers carne to remove him, that lie trembled in
every liMb.

Tile four prisoners Were very ill-dressed, their
linen was dirty, their beards long, their clothes ne-
glected, and full of dust.
The apartments in which they are confined are
furnished very moderately.
(S) "Not having asked M. Th.—'s leave to I►ublish
these details, sve think it right to preserve his incognito.
