Arose of it was a declaration of the witness that Marmcmt
kept himself in constant communication with the Ministers.
The witness, upon resuming his exumnation, distinctly
denied all knowledge of the delivery of orders of arrests
during the troubles ; he had only read of such a thing in
the depositions of evidence before the Commissioners.
M. de Martignac here rose, and declared, that
Marshal Marmon had received his orders direct from the
King, aeti had also communicated directly with the
King at St, CloUd, and this was proved by the witness
himself, who bad gone straight to St. Cloud with the
Marshal's letters.
The witnessa--1 certainly. did on the Wednesday carry
letters froin the Marshal to the King at St. Cloud.
The President—Did you carry any litters from the
Marshal to Prince Polignae, while they were both in the
Tuileries ?—Nia, Sir, that would have been unnecessary,
far they were almost always in adjoining apartments at
that time. He proceeded to say, that the letters to the
King were always sealed, and solnetimes fin warded by the
aides-de-camp, and at other times by express.
The President then asked Prince Polignae if he wished
to say any thing upon the matters deposed to by this witness.
Prince de Polignac—l hive already said that we held
communications with Marshal Marmont, but we merely
received informations taken from others, and which often
proved very erroneous. 1 maintain, however, that no
official correspondence ever took place between the Mar-
what and myself, otherwise traces of it would be found; and
1 never received any report from him. I write twice to
the King ; first, after the departure of the Deputies from
the Tuileries, sad aggro on Wednesday evening, but merely
to infirm bibs of the course of erenta.
M. Per4f—f3y what means did Marshal Marmont re-
ceive the money to distribute to the troops?
The witness de Guise-711e hail it from the Treasury.
Did tbe Marshal tusk an order (rum the King to obtain
this money from the Treasury ?—I don't know ; I can
only affirm that the order was given in the coarse of the
night, and the money was distributed during the morning.
.M. Komieronski said, that having read the ordinances
on the Monday morning in the .211unitesr, he repaired to
Marshal Marmot, and informed him of them. The
Marshal was quite astenished, and ordered a carriage to pay
Ashen visit, when he was informed of the troubled appear-
ance of the capitals he imme.fiately said be should go to
AL de Polignac. In the course of the day, upon hearing
that' a crowd was going to Bagatelle to carry off the Duke
tie Bordeaux, he erilerell a troop of 160 Lancers to repair

penning the crowd. On going to Bagatelle no crowd was

St., Cloud. Do Wednesday morning the witness was sent
to the Picket of Police, to deals's, him to issue a proela-
'nation to the people. The Prefect replied that that
would be Clone itumeiiately, He went in the course
of the 'day to the residence of M. de Polignae,
with. ‘it'llt,ou he fottoCeetoseal Minister,' and on his return

nese carried this reply to the Marshal. He bad no know-
ledge of the Older of .arreitte on the Wednesday or Thur.-
day by the Duke de, Begun, but he was directed to go
eddy tin `Thursday to AL F. nceult, and tell him to attend
to the order relating‘ to the arrests. Having been on horse-
beck during the greater .part of the three days, he could
net recollect all the eireursietenees•which took place.
pi" you know if money wee .distributed to the troops,
and.' by whom the order for distribution was given ?—I
knew that money was distributed, but not by whose order
it was given.
The Primitivist (to AL de Pelignac)-14.:xplain yourself
as' to the distribution of money. Ily whom was the order
given?
M. de Polignac—All that I can say is, that I was
totally a stranger to this distribution of money. I have
