INFERNAL MACHINE PLOT.
COURT OF PEERS, THURSDAY, I'vn, IL
(Continued from The Sun of Saturday.)

TRIAL OF FIESCIII, PEPIN, MOREY, DOIREAC, AND DESCHER, FOR
THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY THE KING'S LIFE BY
MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 28TH
JULY, 1835.
(Continuation of the Sitting of Feb. 11.)
M. Dupont (in defence of Morey) continued—The idea
of the crime had not come from Morey, while it was cer-
tain that the execution of it came from Fieschi. It was a
melancholy expedient to resort, to, that of endeavouring to
defend oneself by accusing others ; and yet it was precisely
what Fieschi had done. The interest that prevailed with
regard to Fieschi was this, that if he was alone in the crime
he could not save his head , but that if he had accomplices
he was not the guilty person, but only the blind instru-
ment. It had been said that application was made to Ca-
vaignac, who was then in prison. Gentlemen, whatever
may be the opinion entertained in this Court as to the po-
litical characters of Cavaignac and Guinard, whatever sen-
tence may be hanging over their heads, I do not hesitate
to declare openly that I am their friend. They may be
prosecuted—they may be persecuted—their political' opi-
nions may be condemned—but they will equally continue
to be morally good, and worthy of the esteem of all ho-
nourable men.

The President reproved the learned counsel for using the
term " persecuted," since the persons to whom he applied it
had been legally condemned.
M. Dupont retracted the expression, but with great
warmth protested against the scandalous endeavours that
had been made to implicate Cavaignac and Guinard indi-
rectly in the attempt in question.
A short adjournment here took place, during which the
manufacture of Fieschi's autographs was continued. Offi-
cers, advocates, and men of the most respectable appear-
ance, approached the prisoner to beg of him the favour of
a few lines traced by his hand.
M. Dupcint resumed. He flattered himself that he had
strongly shaken the accusation of the Crown against his
client, and that nothing capital remained against him except
the frequenting of Fieschi's habitation ; and to get this
charge too removed from Morey, it would be only necessary
that Fieschi should have as an accomplice another individual
resembling Morey in appearance. And, no doubt, this ac-
complice existed, but Fieschi had taken him under his pro-
tection.—(Movement.) It was one of his fellow-country-
men ; and a Corsican easily sacrificed a Frenchman. It
was a Corsican who had all the sympathies of Fieschi—it
was a Corsican that he wanted, and with whom alone he
was willing to form a conspiracy. But no, this could not
be. Fieschi had calumniated Corsica ; the' Corsicans were
not the compatriots of the prisoner Fieschi ; he had made
himself other compatriots in Paris, among the outcasts of
all nations, who had their rendezvous in this general sink.
Fieschi was a Bohemian, an adventurer living by intrigue
and by crime, and such a man had no country.—(Fieschi
was in a state of great agitation during this part of the
pleadings.) M. Dupont then discussed the other depo-
sitions produced against his client, and among them that of
the girl who had lived at Fieschi's from the middle of June
till July 24 or 25, and yet affirmed that she had never seen
one man come to his lodging.
The sitting adjourned at a quarter to six.
SITTING OF FRIDAY, FEB. 12.

At a quarter past 12 o'clock, as usual, the prisoners were
brought into Court : their appearance was much the same
as on the preceding days. As soon as Fieschi was seated,
a letter was brought to him, to which he wrote a reply upon
the spot, in doing which he several times interchanged signs
with Nina Lassave.

M. Dupont—Another capital charge existed against
Morey from the depositions of the girl Nina Lassave, and
this he was now going openly to attack. At the intelli-
gence of the attempt Fieschi must have been considered as
a dead man by Morey, whether it was supposed that Morey
had adopted the perfidious precautions which had been
attributed to him, or that accident had taken off the prin-
Cipal author of the crime. Would it be possible to be
believed, then, that when all the proofs of culpability had
been destroyed, Morey would go and create for himself
another witness that might conduct him to the scaffold ?
This was a moral impossibility, stronger than even a phy-
sical one. Would it be believed, too, that Morey was
under any necessity of revealing his crime to any one, of
furnishing arms against himself; and that he would have
confided his secret to such a person as Nina, a. young and
lost girl, who was on the point of destroying herself in.order
to escape from the pursuit of justice? There was no intel-
ligent Judge who would believe that a guilty person would
thus gratuitously create for himself an accusing witness in-
terested in his destruction.—(Sensation.) But there was
still another and a second key to the mystery, in the- cha-
racter of the girl. Fieschi had already informed the Court of
her being his pupil ; she was well instructed for the purpose
of lying, for she had been formed by the man who, from
the beginning of the proceedings, had not uttered a single
word of truth.—(Fieschi here made a horrible distortion of
countenance.) It was not at the present time only that
Nina had profited by the lessons of her master ; Fieschi bad
lived in a state of concubinage'with the woman Petit, the
mother of the girl Nina ; every morning he used to rise, as
he said, for the purpose of going to work ; but from the bed
of the mother, he passed to that of the daughter, and this
infamous commerce continued for four months, without
the woman Petit knowing anything about it, so well had
Nina shown herself to be the pupil of Fieschi.—(Sensation.)
What interest, then, it would be asked, could Morey have
in getting Nina out of the way, and furnishing her with
the means of returning to Lyons ? It was nothing else
than the interest inspired by a young girl endeavouring to
save herself from the hands of justice. Morey knew her
despair, and her projects of suicide ; he became her bene-
factor, and she, like a worthy pupil of Fieschi, turned against
the generous old man. Fieschi had an accomplice whom
people might have taken for Morey ; this was an incontes-
table fact. If, therefore, his client was acquitted, his task
was ended ; but if he was condemned, lie himself should
never know a moment's repose till he had found out the
man whom Fieschi had saved by bringing Morey to the
scaffold. He bade the Court beware lest he should find
him, and lest, when Morey was no more, he should return
and place the true culprit in the midst of that assembly.
(This able defence was followed by prolonged agitation
throughout the Court.)
M. Marie then offered the defence of Pepin. The ac-
cusation against his client depended upon the isolated de-
clarations of Fieschi ; but he would beg the Court to read
again the first declaration of Fieschi,—they would then see
how be could lie with address ; they would find bow he bad
talked of his wife and children, and yet at the time he had
neither the one nor the other ; he had corrupted and vio-
lated the girl Nina, and raised an incestuous jealousy be-
tween her and her mother. He had lied while in prison at
Embrun ; he had been driven from Croulebarba ; he had of-
fered his -seevices to the police-=they had been refused ; he
had affrighted his protectors by the savage nature of his gra-
titude ; he had offered them the services of his poinard,—
this was the kind of man! this was Fieschi ! Because some
men could look on death unconcerned, they therefore ima-
gined that they had a right to the respect of their fellow
men ; but were they (the Court) reduced so low as to seek
in such a man an object of admiration ? He would appeal
to them as philosophers, as magistrates, as all that was
illustrious in France, whether it was possible that Fieschi's
word could obtain the slightest portion of their confidence.
It could not be so ; and it was impossible that they could
pronounce a condemnation to death upon the faith of such
a wretch.

Mr. I'aillet, counsel for Boireau, pleaded in behalf of his
client. The Court would find some method of extending
mercy to the young man his client., who, at the very worst,
had only been a blind instrument of the conspiracy.
M. Paul Fabre offered a few words for his client Beschcr,
begging the Court not only to acquit him, but at the same
time to mention in the decree that not the slighest suspicion
attached to his character.: this was the only reparation that
could be made him for his long and unjust detention.
The Court then adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock.
SITTING OF SATURDAY, FEB. 13.

The prisoners Fieschi, Morey, Pepin, Boireau, and
Bcschcr, were brought into court at half-past twelve o'clock.
Fieschi presented himself with his usual assurance, and hav-
ing made some communication to his advocate, turned round
and gave a nod of the head to his mistress, Nina Lassave.
It was reported that the Peers had determined on bringing
the pleadings to a conclusion (either at an early or late
hour) to-day, and for that purpose the Duke de Cazes had
given directions that dinner for 200 should be- prepared in
one of the large saloons, so that, if necessary, the Peers
might resume the proceedings in the evening, and not be
obliged to sit on the following day.
M. Pargaier addressed the Court on behalf of the pri-
soner Fieschi. The Lord-Advocate observed, that there
could be but one feeling of horror and execration for the
crime of which his client stood charged, and but one opi-
nion as to the nature of the punishment which ,such a f
nefa-
rious act so justly deserved. With respect to casethe o
the unfortunate man charged with being the principal actor
in that fatal tragedy, he must observe that there were be-

',01""14-40111"
in gs who, rote ahriost their earliest years, seemed to be the
of iorvitable destiny ; they tried in vain to struggle
against e - until driven to the brink of the preci-
le situation of his client. They
the Le Peers) were fully aware of the full and sincere .
confessiot, which Fiesehi had made as an expiation of his
crime, and he had no hesitation in saying, that if there ever
had been a case for the exercise of their noble prerogative,
it was this, for it could not be denied that the prisoner had
a claim upon their compassion ; even the Counsel for ties
Crown were obliged to admit that his crime had been in
part expiated, and he should add, it only remained for
human justice to pronounce upon his fate.
The Procureur-General was addressing the Court in re-
ply, when our Reporter left.

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BERLIN, JAN. 28.—The increased postage on certain
journals, which is to commence April 1, is not confined to
the French, but extends also to the English journals. Of
the latter several, even of the Ministerial party, arc to pay
increased postage. Among the journals exempt is tite
Times, whose violent articles against the speech of the
Emperor Nicholas at Warsaw went far beyond the Jourvat
des Debats.
VIENNA, FEB. I.—A note from his Majesty to Prince
Colloredo announces that the Emperor will have the coro-
nation of his beloved consort celebrated, in the most solemn
manner, in Bohemia, some days after his own. Another
note of his Majesty to Count Von Hardegg, President of
the Aulic Council of War, orders that a ist of all those
officers who have served since the years 1809 and 1813,
and have not yet become staff officers, shall be made out in
all the regiments, and laid before his Majesty. It is ima-
gined, from this, that the report will be confirmed, that in
time of peace no officer shall be advanced to the rank of
staff officer, unless he can prove twenty years' service. So
much is certain, that the Emperor, desirous of remedying
all the abuses that have crept. in, and which the holders of
regiments take advantage of, to favour their proteges in
their advancement to the rank of staff officers, has turned
his attention to this important subject. This will only serve
to increase the attachment of the army to the Emperor.
His Imperial Highness the Archduke Rainer, Viceroy of
Italy, who spends the Carnival at Venice, with his family,
is expected . here next month, but without his family. He
has not yet been at Vienna since the accession' of the
Emperor.
VIENNA, 'FEB. 0.---WC have received to-day news from
Presburg, that his Imperial Highness, the Archduke Pala-
tine, had again appeared at the theatre, and had been wel-
comed with immense acclamations. The Archduke and his
family are expected bete to-day, and will stop eight or ten
days.

Frankfort Paper, Feb. 11.
PRUSSIA, FEB. 2.—The exchange of couriers' between
Berlin and Petersburg is very frequent. Last wezA, too.
several couriers were dispatched to Paris It is inferrod
from this that important negociations are on foot, prob All,
with respect to the affairs of the East, or, more propedy
speaking, which seem to become necessary on account' ()
the constantly irritating proceedings of Lord Palnierston,
which begin to be tiresome. Of what use, we ask, is' all'the
prate about granting or refusing the free navigation of the
Black Sea, and all that is connected with it,when it is noto-
rious that at Paris they already disapprove of Lord Palmer-
stone's great talkativeness, and would probably turn their
backs upon him if he would proceed from words to deeds?
He must therefore undertake something on his own accout
if he thought himself obliged to interrupt, by a coup de tete,
the unanimity that prevails on the Continent. But the
most intrepid would hardly venture to do this ; and Lord
Palmerston will, doubtless, let it alone, because, in spite of
all his irritability, he coolness enough to calculate the
consequences of such a step. But, as we have said, the
Cabinets seem to be at length tired of all these petty irrita-
tions, and are probably deliberating on means to put an end
to them.
From all that we hear, it seems that M. de Barante is
much satisfied with his reception at St. Petersburg. He is
said to speak, in particular, very favourably of the Emperor
Nicholas, and highly to praise his frankness. The Em-
peror, it seems, received him in the most friendly manner,
and soon set him so much at his ease, that the Amhassador,
who was at first rather reserved, fancied he had an old
acquaintance before him, and stated, without constraint, all
lie had to say. He is said to have left the Emperor with
the entire conviction that the amicable relations between
France and Russia have not been at all affected by the-
violent articles of the French journals.

The 'Chamber, in its sitting yesterday, voted on the fun-
damental questions of the law for the Municipal Organiza-
tion, after an extremely animated debate, and a parliamen-
tary combat, in which the friends of the constitution defended
the ground inch by inch against the stratagems and argu-
ments of the Ministry. The constitution has unhappily
received a new blow ; the Chamber decided, by a small
majority, it is true, that the aldermen shall be nominated
by the King, as well as the burgomaster, notwithstanding
the letter and spirit of Art. 108 of the constitution.—Cour-

rier Beige.
Our correspondent in Germany, who is usually well in-
formed, sends us the following particulars from Frankfort,
dated Feb. 7th. According to letters from St. Petersburgh,
which are worthy of full credit, the Emperor Nicholas intends
to visit Warsaw in the spring, and thence to proceed direct
to the army of the south. The same news is given in the
letters from Warsaw and Berlin. We learn that the
southern army has already been reinforced by troops from
the interior, and will receive further reinforcements from the
northern province, and the Asiatic fortresses. All the ac-
counts agree in stating that the guerillas, which have been
formed within tlicse few months, in Lithuania, are of small
importance. They are confined within narrow limits ; they
have advanced, but it is not true that they have received
any succour by sea.—Courrier Beige.

'11)e British Museum originated with Sir Thomas
Sloane's collection. He bad expended a long life and a large
sum of money in collecting books, manuscripts, and rarities of
every description ; and it was a matter of public opinion that
that collection should be preserved for posterity. Towards the
dose of his life it was understood that he would make an offer
of it to the public bv his will, and in his will he did make the
offer, I think, for 20,0001., that that collection, which had cost
him upwards of 50,000/., should be transferred to trustees for
the public use. It was accordingly made the foundation for
the British Museum. Just at that time Lord Oxford's
George 11, under
col-
lection of manuscripts was on sale, and Government
gave the old
pur-
chased Lord Oxford's manuscripts, to which was added the
'books of which
Cotton an collection ; and a small library of printed books,
collected by Major Arthur Edwards, was also added. Thus
VII., and the
was established.

SUICIDE OF THE SHERIFF OP LoNGFORD. Mr. Jes Top, who
'has been recently sworn in High Sheriff for this county, com-
mitted suicide by-shooting himself about eight o'clock this
(Friday) morning. An inquest having been held, the jury
returned a verdict of " temporary insanity."—Dublin Post.
MEETING IN TIPPERARY.-011 Wednesday an exceedinn.cely
numerous and highly-respectable meeting was held at Cas
for the purpose of expressing the high sense entertained by
the inhabitants of the county Tipperary of the imperiall
admi-
nistration of the laws which has characterised Lord lui gravc s
government since his arrival in this country, and also of con-
gratulating his Excellency upon his appointment to the Lord
Lieutenancy of Ireland.
The requisition was forwarded some time since to Kilkenny
Castle, the residence of Lord Ossory, High Sheriff of the
county, by Mr. Hackett, honorary secretary. Lord Ossory,
following in the wake of all the similarly-solicited arl y-sohcited Tory She-
riffs, replied by a very curt negative, expressive of his " asto_
nishment that a requisition should be forwarded to him f,,r the
p man at the
compliment a Nobl-.
rpose of calling a meeting
to
headi-j of a Government under which crime a'"..o insubordination
-
had so much increased in the county ,"; Tipperary." The
chair was taken by Lord Viscount Lisinore, amid the most
enthusiastic and tontinued ae;:tainations of an assemblage
amounting to
_a+. least 10,0'.)0 persons. After resolutions in
accordance w' `h the proposed object of the meeting, which
were introdrxed by addresses worthy of the honest, intelligent,
and higb -minded
d men of Tipperary, the vast assemblage

ANTI. -MALTHUSIAN PARSONS.—It would appear that Parson
Malthus was not an apostle whose doctrines are held in great
velvaation by his brethren in Ireland. In a report of the pro-
ce.edings of a committee appointed in England in 1833, for re.
•ceiving subscriptions for their relief, we find that the Archbi-
shop of Tuam reports of them as follows :—" Rev. —, a
large family ; Rey, eight daughters ; Rev. —, h
wife and eight children ; Rev. twelve children Rev. ,—, a wife and thirteen children I Tbe Irish potatoe-; eaters
were, we thought, the greatest offenders against Malthusianism
in any European community ; but if we are to take these
cases 'as a specimen the parsons far exceed them.—Dublin
Reg:dater.

A PLEADER IN PETTICOATS.—Just as his Lordship was
oabout to rise, after disposing of the last motion in the Court
of Common Pleas, there was a tremendous rush into the
Court, and in a moment the galleries and body of the Court
were filled by a crowd of persons who appeared to have been
attracted by the anticipation of some novel occurrence. In a
few minutes a well-dressed female was observed forcing her
way through the *?assage to the Register's seat, with a file of
papers in her hr_nd, from which she addressed his Lordship,
stating that s'„ie had been directed by the Chief Baron to apply
to him for an order, to be at liberty to proceed in the Remem-
billicer's office without payment of the usual fees. She en-
tered into a long statement of her case, and in detailing the
nevem; proceedings in which she had been involved, showed
as etquaintance with the rules and practice of the Court that
sees really surprising. It appears that she has a property of
1201. a year, over which a receiver has been appointed by the
Court, and the object of her application was, to compel him to
account without payment of the usual fees, as she stated that
she had not a guinea in the world. Baron Pennefather directed
the Second Remembrancer to be sent for, and having consulted
-with him for a few minutes, he terned to the applicant, saving,
" Mr. Lyle will investigate the account for you." Mrs. 'Rey-
nolds--Yes, my Lord, and I will make a report thereon.—
(Laughter.) She then made a eurtesy to the Court, saying,
" I thank your Lordship, sand the Chief Baron, and the
ittle Baron."—(Roars of laughter.) She then left the Court.

N&VAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Hampshire Telegraph,)
PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 13.—The Blonde is at Callao ; the
North Star on the coast of Mexico ; Sparrowhawk and
Basilisk at the intermediate ports. The Dublin (with the
flag of Sir G. E. Hamond), at Rio ; the Actaeon, at Ba-
hia ; the Talbot, in the river Plate ; the Rapid, at the
Falkland Islands ; the Rover had gone round Cape Horn.
On the 17th December last, between Cape Frio and Ba-
hia, the Satellite detained the brig Orion, under Donna
Maria's colours, and sent her into Rio for adjudication
with 245 slaves, from the coast of Africa, making the
third slave vessel this ship has captured. The central and
southern parts of Brazil appeared tranquil, the insurrec-
tions of the blacks "navinm been suppressed. A great many
of the free negroes at Bahia, supposed to have been con-
cerned in the late conspiracy there, had been ordered to
quit the country, and in obedience thereto were about to
embark for the coast of Africa, in an English brig, which
they had purposely chartered. The Satellite spoke the
Colombia, off Cape Horn, on the 17th November, 74
days from London, bound to the Sandwich Islands. She
had parted company with her consort, a steam vessel
seven deg. to the northward of the line, in thick weather.
The Satellite landed here the treasure she brought home,
and proceeded yesterday to Plymouth, to be paid off.
The Hyacinth, arrived at Batavia on the 2d of October,
from Sydney ; the Victor, sailed from Calcutta on the 22d
of September for Penang , the Wolf, sailed from the Mau-
ritius on the Ist of November, for Madras ; the Serpent
arrived at Havannah on the 30th of December, from Nas-
sau ; the Spey arrived there on the 7th of January, and
sailed on the 9th for Belize ; the Briseis arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 23d of December, and sailed on the following
day for Tampico ; the Scorpion arrived at Lisbon on the
21st of January, from Falmouth.
Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Halket, G.C.H., hoisted his
flag this morning in the Melville, 74, as Commander-in-
Chief in the West Indies and on the coast of North Ame-
rica. As the Melville is in the Basin, the customary salute
was fired by the Excellent, Captain Hastings.
The Scout, 16, Commander Craigie, arrived yesterday,
from Chatham, on her way to the Cape of Good Hope.
She will proceed early in the week. She however requires
caulking, arising, it is said, " from bad work and green
wood." This sould not be.
The Pique, 36, will be re-commissioned in a fortnight, by
the Hon. Captain Rous ; and this morning orders were re-
ceived to prepare the Bellerophon, 74, for commission, for
which purpose she is to be taken into dock on Monday.
The Romney, troop ship, requiring large repairs, will be
paid off, and the Salisbury, 50, will be fitted for the con-
veyance of troops.
The Mastiff, surveying vessel, Lieutenant Graves, after
being in this port nine days, and partly stripped for paying
