SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT 7

LONDON,
MONDAY, MA RC II 4, 182.2.

We have received the French Papers of Thurs-
day and Friday, which contain further details
respecting the criminal affair of General BERTON)
of which the following is an abstract :
" PARIS, FEB. 28.--It was on the 24th of this
month that Gen. Berton suddenly appeared about
10 P. M. in the market place of Thouars ; he had
with him the Ex-Lieutenant of Artillery, Delin,
who seemed to act as his Aid-de-Camp, and
about 50 individuals, who constituted his suite or
army. The inhabitants, who had retired to their
houses, were terrified to hear at so unseasonable
an hour the drums beat and the tocsin sounded.
They hastily came out, being convinced that fire
had broken out 'in the town. When the people
were assembled in the market-place, General
Berton read aloud a proclamation drawn up in
his name, in which, taking the title of Generalis-
simo of the Con federates of Poitou and Bretag,ne,
he declared that the object of the Confederation
was to destroy the dominion of the nobles and
priests, and to abolish taxes insupportable to the
,people ; he announced at the same_time his pro-
ject of marching to Saumur, where the garrison
and the eteves, according to him, were eager to
join his troop and to second his resolutions. The
men who accompanied Berton answered by diffe-
rent cries to the proclamation of their Chief ;
there was heard a mixture of 44 The Charter for
ever, with the Emperor Napolehn 11. for ever!'
and 'Vive la Republique !' Some inhabitants of
Thouars, but a very small number, placed them-
selves under the standard of Berton, which was
three coloured, as well as the cockade he had on.
Berton left Thouars, and proceeded towards
Saurnur. On the way he had the tocsin sounded
in all the villages, the peasants flocked together,
the proclamation was repeated, many distri-
buted, and by these measures the troop re-
ceived an addition of about two hundred poor
wretches : it was about 250 strong, when it
arrived at the Bridge of Foucheux, half a league
from Saurnur. It is known that General Gentil
de St. Alfonso, Commandant of the School of that
town, was then at Tours, and his absence was
calculated upon as an important circumstance by
General Berton. But the event baffled his pre-
cautions. At the first news of the march of the
rebel chief all the civil and military authorities
at Saumur had assembled the pupils of the school,
the garrison, the national guard, headed by their
respective commanders. The Sub-Prefect, the
Mayor, and all the Members of the Civil Tri-
bunal, went out of Saumur amidst cries of" Vivo
le Roi !" and marched against the rebels.—
They met them at the Bridge of Foucheux ; the
Mayor thought it his duty to go alone to meet
them ; and with a courage the more laudable, as
it was inspired by the desire to prevent the effu-
sion of blood, and was not without personal
danger, he presented himself alone. to General
Berton, and demanded the reason of his march.
Berton answered, he only wanted a passage into
Saumur, and that he guaranteed the town from
all kind of pillage and violence. You cannot
obtain this passage with the signs of rebellion
which you bear !' answered the intrepid Magis-
trate.---4 I will force it,' replied Berton, and at
