lest we should blow up the prison. This was seen by the

FOREIG N INTELLIGENCE.

PAIUS, Auss. 31.—The Spanish Government
has published the results of the last census, ar-
ranged according. to the piovinces. The whole
population of the Peninsula, including the Balearic
islands, amounts to 11,248,026 souls.
The 3.loniteur of to-day contains a Royal Or-
tionnance, charging M. de Villele with the busi-
tiess of the Foreign Department during the ab-
sence of M. le Viscomte de Montmorency.
A. report has been prevalent at Colmar, that
MM. Caron and Roger were to be tried at Stras-
burg on Friday the 30th of Aug. We regard,
this news as false, because a delay of five days
is not sufficient 'to cite and bring witnesses from
one department to another.
Mme. Caro-n, who has been arrested by an order
of the Juge d'lnstiaction, is still in prison ; she
-has not been removed to Strasburgh.
The -Tribunal 'Correctionnel gave judgment
this morning in the matter of M. Victor Ducange,
Proprietor and •Editor of the Literary Journal,
Le Diable Rose, ou Petit Courier. de Lucifer.
He was found guilty of acting contrary to the
law of 9th June 1819, and of March 17, 1822,
in having inserted political matters in his Journal
-without being authorised by the King, and with-
- out granting the security required by the law.—
lie was condemned to be imprisoned forty days,
and to pay a fine of 300 francs and the costs.
A Ministerial Journal mentions this evening that
-some tumultuous scenes had taken place at Nantes
- on the 28th of this Month, in which an individual
shouted " Vive Napoleon II." A Swiss corps
de garde, the son of one of the principal mer-
-chants of the town, and some other persons were
-present. The officers of 'the garrison, the gen-
darmerie, and the Municipal -Police hastened to
-the spot, some -persons were arrested, and the
business will he investigated.
M. Paira, the guardian of the children of Ge-
-neral Rapp, has written to us to' state, that the
General never authorised the publication of his
--pretended Memoirs; that his family is ignorant
from what source they have been taken, and
~does not admit their authenticity.—(Constitu-

COURT OF ASSIZES AT PARIS, AUG. 31.
CONSPIRACY OF ROCHELLE.
M. ALE aieuou, Counsel for Bogies, and M. COIF IN 'Ellis
Counsel for Goubin, were heard on behalf of their clients.
• Though the pleading of the former was frequently interrupted
by the President, it made a powerful impression. M. COFFI-
NIERES was equally eloquent and impressive. The President
read a letter from General Despinois,_ excusing himself from
not attending to the citation of Bogies.
COURT OF ASSIZES AT' POITIERS.
TRIAL OF BERTON, &c.--AnG. 29.
Before the commencement of the proceedings, the -accused
Sau&, who yesterday complained of being. brought to the
' -Court in irons, said that• the irons had been struck off, but that
, the prisoners were threatened with being bound with cords.
The Attorney-General replied, that the Captain of Gen-
darmerie-was responsible for the prisoners intrusted to his cus-
• tody, and must employ all the measures necessary to cover his
responsibility. The law officers of the Crown could do no more
than oppose unnecessary rigour.
The proceedings began at 10 o'clock.
The witnesses Chalopin and his wife were examined in the
-midse of such a noise that it was impossible to hear one word of
-what they said.
The witness Fouque was then called. He was extremely un-
. well, and spoke in a low tone of voice. He knows Beaufils.
On the 24th of February, at seven o'clock in the evening,
*being in 'the court of his house, he heard several persons
talking together. The one said to the other "If these gen-
Alemen would arrive, we would go to the curl and demand the
keys to sound the tocsin." He knew none pf these persons.
Bearing him, they fled precipitately.
M. Dubois, merchant at Brest, said he saw Colonel Alix
-twice or thrice there. He was introduced to the witness by M.
Bertheaume, one of his clerks, who had known the Colonel at
Paris. A juryman asked if the witness knew the reason for
Col. Alix's visits to Brest, and if they had proposed to enter
into any trading speculations together ? The witness replied,
• that Col. Alix had spoken to hini of commercial negociations.
The Attorney-General—Do you know Berton ?—No.
But Berton says he addressed a box to you.—l never received
••it. It is proved, however, that on the 24th of December you
received a box containing fifteen kilogrammes. What did it
contain ?—lt contained hardware • sent by. M. Grondard, from
-Paris, to M. Bertheaume (the witness -produced• the, certificate
of the sub-Prefect of Brest in support of his testimony.)
The Attorney-General begged it to be observed that this cer-
tificate did not attest that an examination had taken place at the
office of the Diligence, and by that means Shad arrived-the box
containing Berton's uniform. (The witness then produced
another certificate from the director of the Diligences, which at-
tested that search had been made in his office.)
The box was exhibited to the witness, who said he did not
recognize it.
The Attorney-General.—lt is, nevertheless, the box which
.you sent from Brest to Heureux at Nantes ?—lt is false. I
• .never knew Heureux, and never addressed any thing to him.
You say you do not know Berton, and yet you paid him 2,000
'francs?—lt is possible. A banker pays every day money to
,persons with whom he is not acquainted.
You know Colonel Alix, for on meeting him at Poitiers, you
-.embraced him with tenderness ?—I was called to give evidence
respecting him,. and I was overjoyed to see that there was no
charge against him.
A dispute here arose between the Attorney-General and Ber-
.ton, about his right to wear his uniform, he not being in ser-
,vice. Berton contended he had a right, and Colonel Alix said,
that an officer disbanded bad the right of wearing the distinc-
tive marks of his rank in the army.
The witness and informer Woefel was again called in.
The President.—l forgot to ask you if you heard Baudrier
or Grandrnenil say that Al. Lafayette had paid •the travelling
expences of both ?—Grandmenil told me that he had paid the
expences of both back.
Had Baudrier the appearance of speaking to the Marquis
de Lafayette as to one of his acquaintance ?—Yes.
The' Attorney-General (speaking to Baudrier)-L-Is it true
-:that General Lafayette paid your expellees, or that you said so
,to Woefel ?—Never, Sir...
Did you say, as Woefel has declared, that it was a pity Ge-
neral Lafayette had had an accident to his legs, and that he
was forced to use crutches ?-1 never spoke of any such thing.
Woefel.--Did you never speak of that on the-promenade ?
No, never, I swear.
(This question was repeatedly put,' and met with the same
answer.)
The President, addressing the Jury, said they wpuld appre-
elate the truth between the two conflicting testimonies.
The witness Delalande was called.
Did you ever hear any of the prisoners say that it was a pity
General Lafayette was obliged to use crutches ?—Never. I
swear before God, that I never heard such .a thing said.
Woefel—Your position is to deny.
Delalande.—l oily speak the truth.
Did you give your house as a rendezvous ?—No ; Woefel
-chose it.
Woefel.—l had no right todispose of the house of a stranger.
The Attorney-General, raising his ,voice, said—Woefel, you
have tile honour of being a French officer. I beseech you, in
the name of that honour, to declare if you heard Baudrier say
to Grandmenil that it was a pity General Lafayette was obliged
to walk with crutches. Lift up your hand, and 'swear upon
your honour.
Weefel, lifting up his hands, I swear it is the truth.
The-Attorney-General, with increased energy.—France hears
, you, and God will judge you!
Woefei persisted in saying that Delalande offered him his
.lAome to meet General Berton.
The witness Perinne Thibaudau, formerly a servant of Caff6,
deposed. with remarkable assurance, that some time about the
24th of February she saw three or four persons visiting Calf 6
in the morning, and at ten in the evening, that she heard them
say there, was nothing to -fear from Russia or Austria—that
, it was not necessary to fire .a shot, but- to be ready if others
did, and that,with. 600 men-they could take Thouars, Nantes,
and Poitiers.
The President—Caff4, what have you to answer to this ?
Caff6.—This woman was only two months' with me before
'sty arrest, and erne after. -She brought victuals to my prison—
she lamented my lot. She has been separated from her hus-
-*fa), for what ,reason I know net. In one of her depositions

Judge of instruction to be false. General Berton came to my
house under the.suame of Jolivet. He died twice. with us un-
der that name %.1 a sick boarder.
The Preside* to'Berton.—ls it true that you passed under
the name of 41ivet ?
, .
Berton--Ldo not exactly recollect; asl: that woman.—(She
said nothing.)
The President.—Berton has declared that he 'never changed
his name:,
Berton.-4 declare it' still.
The President..--,Did you introduce yourself to CaG as in.
.disposed ? . .
Berton.—No, Sir.-4 Sensation in the Court.)
The Presidentko Berum.—How did you know Caffj ?
Berton.—l saw hiM in a society at Seville. He was pointed
out to me as' having received the decoration of the legion of
honour for having saved a convoy of wounded.
The PreSident.—Do you persist in saying you did not intro-
sluce yourself to Caffe as a patient ?--Berton : Yes.
The President (to Caffe..),-And do.you persist:in saying that
he did P—CaU : Yes.
The Counsel of Caffe to the servant.—What did the cate-
chism contain which was in the chimney, and whiih gave you
the idea that Buonaparte was not dead ?—The witness could
not tell.—(lt was a book of freemasonry.)
After several other witnes:sea, who deposed to nothing im•-
portant, Saug6 was called. •
When aid General Berton come to your house ? On the
21st.
Who brought him know not.
Who asked you to receive him ?—Pombas and another gen-
tleman.
That name did he bear ?—I heard none at first.
What was lu4alled afterwards ?—Dubois.
How long did.lie remain with'you ?---Three dayT.
Did he see-Ind:di company ?—Several persons visited him.
On Saturday 'evening did not several persons come. to dine
With him ?__Aeg;ii enreux, rombas
On Sunday morning did he send for any one ?--Yes, for M.
Poulet. • •
Did you hear the conversation that passed ?—Y es.
Did they speak of a Provisional Government ?--Yes, they

did.
What persons were named as composing it?-r-General La
fayette as Chief a the. Government.
Did they mention M. B. Constant ?—No, Sir.
Did they not s, y M. B. Constant had written ?—They said
only that nothing was to be feared, for in case of being masters
of 'Thouars, they had only to write and a member from Paris
woulerepair to them.
Did Berton say why he had come ?,--Yes, to reorganize the
Civil and Military Authorities. •
You did not know General Berton but under the name. of
Dubois ?—No.
The President to Berton.—You were introduCed by Pombas?
Bertdn.—l thought it *as by Gauchais,
Did you call yourself Dubois ?.—I do not recollect.
Attorney-General to the witness.—lt was on Saturday your
I servant observed in the chamber of Berton a General's uni-
form ?—Yes.
What did you do then ?—I went to see it.
' What 'did Berton then say ?—He told me that he was Gene-
ral Berton. •
• You must have been astonished to see in your house a man
who came to reorganize the Civil and Military Authorities P—l
was very.much astonished indeed.
What did plu do after you knew that the man called Dubois
was so considerable a person ?—Nothing ; great persons some.
times remain incognito... Did you not apprise the authorities ?
You learnt on the Sunday, that on the Square of Thouars.
the Provisional' Government. was nominated. What did you
think of that ?—As all the world-1 Was greatly astonished
when I was told that the Royal Government was changed over
all France.
And you afterwards dined with these persons ?—Yes; I saw
them with the May& and Authorities, who did not summon
them to surrender.
It must have.appeared to you very astonishing that the Royal
Government Was changed ; and that a person who bore a
feigned name and a forged' passport had informed you. Did
it not enter into your head that he might be a traitor and a
rebel ?—I did not think of that, having seen him with the
Mayor.
The Attorney-General to :Berton.—Did you wish to over-
tiv:ow the Government of the King ; and did you change your
name ?.
Berton.—l did not wish to overthrow the Government of the
King, and I did not change my name.
Attorney-General to the witness Satig4.—A General who
comes in the name of a Provisional Government should be ac-
companied with some splendour. You must have been asto-
nished that he alighted at your house ?—I was exceedingly sur-
prised. Many half-pay Officers came to see the General.
The last witness on the 29th mentioned in the papers was
Detroze; the Lieutenant of Gendarmerie at Blonder-les-Mau-
faits. I Moreau, one of the prisoners, said to him—" You are
here a little Minister of War, as the Sub-Prefect is a little Mi-
nister of Police: but you act in vain. We must have liberty,
and we shall have• it. We demand the charter as the King
gave it. We wish to deprive the Nobleise of the monopoly of
power." .Moreau then told him he was a Knight of Liberty,
and that ha expected a Commissioner-General.
A discussion arose on this witness's testimony, into which we
cannot enter. The Court rose at five o'clock.

HAMBURGII, AUG. 27.—We learn the follow-
ing from the Russian frontiers, Aug. B.—" His
Majesty the Emperor leaves St. Petersburgh on
the 16th for Warsaw, whence he will go to
Vienna. He will be accompanied, as we learn,
by Count Nesselrode, by Mr. Von. Muller,
Counsellor of State, a Secretary, and three Aid-
de-camps. It is affirmed, that in the approaching
Congress important and very comprehensive
measures will be proposed against all the Liberals
or Carbonari, in all the countries of Europe.','
The Prussian Minister, Count Bernstorff, hav-
ing received dispatches from Toeplitz, where the
King of Prussia is at present, set out on the 20th
with a small suite for Vienna, to attend the pre-

liminary Conferences.
Nothing is yet said of the departure of the
Chancellor, Prince Hardenberg, for that city ;
nor is it known whether the King of Prussia, who
was expected back at Berlin on the 29th, will
go to Vienna or not.
FRANKFORT, Auc. 25.—Count Hardenberg,
the Hanoverian Minister to the Court of Austria,
has arrived here from Vienna, on his way' to
London, where he is to assist in drawing up the
plan for the ormanization of the kingdom of
Hanover. ,
VIENNA, AUG. 20.—Metalliques, 81 15-T6ths, Bank
Shares, 872.—( Frankfort Journal, Aug. 2!.)
SEMLI,N, AUG. 12.—SinCe my last, letters have
been received from Epirus, by which it appears
that Count Normann could not have been pre-
sent at the 'affair at the Thermopylae. The great
ignorance of geography of many Greeks has pro-
bably made them confound him with some other
General; however, Normann is said likewise to
have gained a victory in Albania on the 20th. of
July, but the particulars are not known. So
much is known for certain, that in 'the middle of
July' he was posted with Bozzari neat' Arta,
which is 80 leagues from Thermopylae. I have
a letter from Bitoglia before me of July 31st,
which likewise announces the entire defeat of
Chourschid Pacha at the Thermopylae.—[This
is the letter stating the Pacha to have been taken
prisoner, with 70 Beys and 11,000 Turks.]—To
thiS is subjoined the other report of the defeat of
the 'Greeks on the 13th, and of their victory on
the 14th July, and the heroic conduct of young
Bozzaris, who defended the Thermopylae with
700 men, but lost his life, -&c.--(Ailgenteine
Zeitung, Aug. 24.)
.A.MSTEADAM, AUG. 30.--Above 100 children,
most of The lowest. class, having fallen victims
within, a few weeks to the negligence of their
parent'', and been • carried off by the small-pox,
the Burgomasters have given notice to the inha-
bitants of the imminent danger, and seriously ex-
