CHAMBER Or PEERS, NomlnEn

TRIAL OF ItIAILSEIAL NEY.

At half-past ten, and before the Peers had met,
Messieurs I3erricr and lltii.iu, the Marshal's defen-
..
ders, took their seats at a table placed in the angle
formed by the bureau, and one of the extremitiei
of the seats of the Peers. There was distributed
among the strangers who were there 'assembled,
a printed paper signed Dupin andßerrier, and en-
titled, Question prejedicielic dcins Puffaire du Mare-
chat INky. .
Souse minutes after, the Chancellor enterer!,
followed by the Peers. The sitting was then.

opened.
The Chancellor, as President of the Chamber,
spoke as follows :
Monsieur the Marshal Ney, accused of high
treason against the King, and against the State,
is aboOt to make his appearance. I have to re-
mind the public, that vtitnesses now for the first
time of a trial so solemn, it is its ditty not to Shetr
any mark of approbation or disapprobation. I•
order the Anita' y Commandant to arrest instantly
any person Who shall deviate from that respect
that is due to this assembly, or from that atten-
tion which misfortune claims. Let' the witnesses
be called in : the accused will afterwarth be in-
troduced.
The tt itnesses then came in, and with them the
Commissaries of the King, among whom were
their Excellencies the Keeper of the Seals, the
Minister of Marine, and M. Beilart, Attorney Ge-
neral at the Royal Court of Paris. They took
their places on the seats under the bureau of the
President.
At elCven o'clock precisely, the -accused enter-
ed, and took his seat between his counsel ; he
was dressed in a
,blue ftock coat, with two Ge-
neral's epaulettes, the badge of the Legion. of
Honour, and the little ribbon of the Order of St.
Louis, or of the Legion of Hollolll'.
The Secretary, Keeper of the Archives, per-
forming the functions of Register, then called
over The names of the Peers. They heard veldt
emotion, resounding it, the hall, ancient and new
names, consecrated by military glory, by the glory
Of tried fidelity, and by recollections clear to all
French hearts.
The ChancellOr then asked the Revised, Ws
names, titles, &c.
Answer.s--Mickael Nev, born at Saare-louis in
1769, Marshal, Peer of France, DaLe of Elchin-
gen, Prince of the Mosksva, Chevalier of Saint
Louis, Great Eagle of the Legion of Honour,
Cotninandor of the Order of Christ.
The Chancellor..—l warn the Counsel for the
accused, that they onght'not to allow themselves
so say any' thing contrary to their conscieace,
contrary to decency, or contrary to truth. Se-
cretary, read the two Ordinances of the King,
and the Act of Accusation.
The Secretary then read the two Ordinances,
and the Act of Acctisation, which follows :
AC:r_ OP Accusxnox AGAINST NIARSITAL NEY,
'DUKE 'OF ELCIIINGEN, • PRINCE OF MOSKWA,
EX.-PEER. OF FRANCE.
The Commissaries of the King, charged by the
Ordinances of the King of the 11th and 13th in-
stant, to support before the Chamber of Peers the
accusation of High Treason, and attempt against
the safety. of the State, instituted against -Mar-
shal Ney, and its discussion, declare, that by the
documents and time instructions communicated to
them in consequence of the Ordinance of the 15tH
inst. by Baron Seguier, Peer of France, Council-
lor of State, First President of the Royal Court
of Paris, Commissioner delegated, the Chancellor
President of the Chamber, to draw up the said
instruction, the following facts result :
Oti the lauding at Cannes the Ist of
March last, effected by Buonaparte, at the head of
a band of robbers of several nations, it appearS that
Marshal Soult, then Minister at War, sent by one
. of his Aidcs-de-Camp to Marshal Ney, who was
on his estate of Coudreaux„ near Chateaudtm,
an order to repair to his Government of Besancon,
.where he would find instructions.
Marshal Ney Cattle to Paris on the 6th or 7th
~(Which day is not correctly known), instead of
repairing to the place of which he was Governor,
as he was.ordered to do. The reason. he has given
is, that he had nut got his uniforms : this is ptau-
sible. But what is less so is, that according to
his own account, he was ignorant, even when he
arrived at Paris, either of the fact of the landing
of Buonapartc at Cannes, or of the real cause of
the order which was sent to hint to repair to Be-
sancon. It is very improbable that the Aid-de-
Camp of the Minister atWar, who carried the
order for his immediate departure, made such a
great secret of this news, which had becotna the
object of general attention and conversation ; one
cannot even suspect any motive for his keening;
such a matter secret, any more that. one cin b -
lieve that the Marshal would not h lye been in-
duced, from curiosity, to ask him whit were the
causes of this sudden order, as the A'd-de-Camp
must naturally, if asked, have infor nedluni of
the fact. The Marshal, however, wishes it to b:
'believed, that he did not hear of this importaut
news till his arrival at Paris, and then o ly by
efiance, ittid at his notary's. This ignaran,:e is
not natural; and rather tends to increase than to
dissipate-thc.suspiaitms,that the Marshal as colt.

%ion, which has been Littentivd with fatal

a•rstiltS.

Ourstispieions,that. the Marshal has taken part
in. these measures, are considerably strengthened
by the depositions of a great number of Witnesses,
who have reported. various circumstances, tend-
ing to prove :that the Marshal was •intormed of
Aids landing. .By the evidence of the Sieur Beau-
the Count de la Genetiere, and, the Count
tic Faverney, w learn that the Marshal asserted,
that the return of thionaparte had been prepared
'tier three months before, and' that those who had
nt4de 'contracts with the King'S government ought
to have known, that they were treating with or
for the legitiniate Sovereign,.:Boonaparte ! The
Count de Faverney in particular, asserts, that
General Lecourhe assured him the Marshal had
14 aid to him, that he had taken all possible steps
/o render the :defection of his troops necessary and
inet italic, which he would afterwards settle and
determine by the reading of the Proclamation.
Several other witnesses. have deposed, that they
were told that the Marshal publicly declared in
an inn at Montereau, that the return of Buona-
parte !rad sheen long pretoncerted. Many other'
witnesses-could depose to the same effect ; name-
ly, the Liaron.-Capelleohe Marquis of Vaulehier,
the Sieur de Beaugarde, and the Sieur Garnier,
the Mayor of Dole ; brit as 'they lave been beard
before•the Council of War, it is not necessary
.to recal them. In fact, they are no longer on
the spot, but their testimonies are already on re-

Justice, however, also demands, that we should
state, that several other Witnesses„ who observed
the,condnct of the Marshal till the time ►►f the
Tvading• of the Proclamation, seem to believe,
That till that period he was strictly loyal, and
they,depose to facts which indiCate, that unless
the Marshal acted with the deepest dissimulation,
)1e .teas--even then inclined. to be faithful to the
King.

• , However this may be, whether this t!en►onstra-
tion of fealty was teal or feigned, the Marshal,
before leaving Paris, had the honour of an inter-
view with the King, who spoke to him with the
most affecting kindness„ and reposed in him the
greatest confidence. The Marshal appeared
fected by the good. opinion of his Sovereign re-.
specting his loyalty and fidelity, and in a transport
of passion, cither'real or simulated, he protested,
-that -he Would bring •Buonaparte to Paris -in an
iron cage, and sealed his declarations of devoted-
ness, by kissing his Majesty's hand. The Mar-
shal at first wished to deny both this.expression
of enthusiasm, and the liberty.. which the. King
had permitted him to take. But he ultimately
acknowledged the facts.
It was on the nth or 9th of March that the
Marshal left Paris. lie found at Besancon the
instructions of the Minister at War, which were
Ott substance, that he was to collect all the dis-
posable forces, in order efficaciously to second
the operations of -Monsieur, and to manceuvre scr
as to disturb or destroy the enemy.
.Although the different statements of the wit-
nesses have been duly considered, there are retain
points on-whieh there can be no• doubts. All
snus agree as to the line of conduct which the
Narslial adopted at Lons le Saulnier, on the 14th
:,\J arch.

Tire 21.1arslial had sent to that town all the troops
uhieh were dispersed throughout his districts--
Sortie officers, military and civil, who were cor-
rect.observers of events, and who were justly un-.
easy at existing circumstances, and the insinna-
tions of certain persons who held different ranks
in the army, pointed out .to him, as a means of
frustrating their bad intentions,, the propriety of
;nixing with them as much as possible, the.goOd
and faithful servants of the Ring, who might be
chosen from' the National Guards. The Marshal,
however, at once rejected these propositions, even-,
\rich a aunt of disdain, by saving that he wished
trot to have- with.'hint 'weeping alarmists either
male or female; and thought he retracted a
little from this sentiment afterwards, it was
with such slownes and repugnance that the'
measure unfortunately could not be carried into
,4rxecution, nor codd the evil, which the Marshal
seetned to foresee without uneasiness,' be pre-
vented-.

Some witnesses seem to think that till the even-
ing of .the 13th of March: the Marshal was faith-
ful ; hut is not easy to believe that the period of

lour or live days, duringswhich the illashal had

• »couhl have been sufficient to make Idin abando

his fealty, it he had not been pre-disposed-to do
so. It' is a sorrowful tax upon human loyalty to
be obliged to declare that the fact cannot be other-
WISC.

, •Only five days after the promises he had made
to his Master, who had heaped upon him his con-
fidence and his affection, and whom he had de-
ceived by the unlimited professions of aD► inten-
tion which was not expected from him, Marshal
Noy betrayed his past glory, as well as his King,.
Country; and hcrr•opc, by the most criminal
desertion. -If we think of the gulph of evils in
which this conduct has plunged France, or to

whic!) he at least contributed as much as was in

his power, we sl4all see that likewise destroyed
by-this conduct his own former glory. Weinav

even that he betrayed his own army, which
was till:that time, faithful, and who would have.

fir;ued by the example -of a Chief, whose name
and military achievements would have command-

ed the confidence of the soldiers ; instead of which
draz;ged the after him in the road of per,jury.
We hatve.said,' that uj to a certain time, Mar-
Ney, bad not seen an enemy. In this we de-
ceived ourselves ; he had -seen many.; not indeed
in ()lien d:tv, but in his own house, in.secret, and

by night, who met to 'form with him a shameful
alliance, and to make him' give up his King, his
country, and ev•en his honour.
An emissary of that artisan of the evils of
Euri.pe, in(we capable of carry on frauds and in-
trigueSthar. of gaining victories, arrived at the

Mar!;l;al's can tae night of the 13th March last,
lic brought him a letter from Bertrand, written

in the nasc►e ot his master, i;► v;'hich the latter de-

the Marshal -a grave man amongst the
brae, anti 'directed ,bite to come over to

bis Soereizn till that tillic;cluihing more Was ne-

•cessary to induee him to Lezome a traitor to Lis
oaths. His vanity %VW; flattered ; his an;itipit
was ..,,,vakenefl; the proffered crime was aceepteil,
and it was as early as „the neNt morning rbat..it

was put into exeention,-.
The next day, the 14th of March, 1815„ he re-•
vealed his new intentions to Generals Bourntorit
and Lecourbe. They have deposed, that they
efforts to excite I:_oirdr his mind at such
a resolution,. but whatever they could say pro-
duced no effect upon him. He forced them to at-
tend on-' the ground where he had ordered the
troops to be drawn up, and where, having form-
ed them into a snnare,. be read to them the fol-
lowing Proclamation :
[Here is inserted the Proclamation of. Ney,
dated March 13th, which was published in the
course of the interrogatories, read before the Mi-
litary Council.l •
The Commissioners then proceed to observe,
than it may be imagined what effect such conduct
and' ordets must havf2 produced upon a body of
sol.licrs, under the command of " a revered
Chief." The soldiers who were nearest to
their Generail, seduced by the duty ut obe-
dience,' repeated the rebellions sitcom which
he had uttered,%of \rive l'Etnpereur ! The sol-
dier; who were more distant, faithful to the
movement of the heart and French honour, and
who were far from supposing what an exe-
crable action Marshal' Ney had been guilty of,
shouted Viva le Roi ! Indeed so far Was the de-
lusion front being removed at this moment, that
according to the same evidence, many of the Of-
ficers and soldiers retired from the ranks with in-
dignation. It also appears that Marshal Ney af,
terwards permitted the troops to disperse in the
town, and commit all manner of excesses, till
they lost their reason; and having no time for re-
flection, and being aftertrards ashamed of their
conduct, they would not retract.
• A great number of Officers; hOwever, among
whim was the Count de la Grnetiere, Withdrew

themselves, and the latter wrote a severe letter

to Ney, in which he told hini that being no
longer able to serve under him with honour, he
withdrew himself from his staff, and retired to
Besancon. lie added, that he had- long served
under the Marshal's orders, and the only regret
he felt was at having continued so. to serve fur the
last 2-1 hours.

'After a variety of comments on this and similar
instances of French honour, on the part of indi-
viduals who were under Marshal Ney at the time
in question, the Commissionev7s observe, that the
onIV such instances of loyalty produced up-
on lint was to sink him still deeper in treason.—
. They then trace his conduct from the day when
he issued the PrOclamatlon till t be 19th of March,
touching upon his audacity,in writitrg to the Com-
, mandant at Auxonne, to give up the place to lltio-
neiparte ; and also to the Dukes of Reggio and,
Aibufera, inclosing them the orders he•had receiv-
ed from Bertrand ; and they add , that in a few
days afterwards, in order to purOsh the honour-
able inactivity of the Commandant of Auxonne,
lie inscribed his name in the list of those whom
he ordered to he deprived of liberty.
litre (say the Commissiotievs) it. is necessary
we should stop. All France, all Europe, has seen,
since that time, that.MarShal iNey persisted in his
rebellion. But all the circumstances which apply
to his ulterior conduct being only the consequence
of his first act of treason, scarcely deserve.notice,
after that great pr:of of unfaithfulness,' one of
the sources of misfortmies which a fatal usurpa-
tion drew upon France.
We must turn our eyes from the scene, because
the spectacle is intolerable. But we cannot sup-
press tlie -heart-rending reflection, that all the
evils by which .the country is desolated,. ere owing
to a handful of men, who, because they .had dis-
tingtikhed themselves by some great military ac-
tions, thought that they bad a right to put thzta-
selves above the law, to trifle with the most sacred
feelings,
.even with fidelity to their King and
country, and to cause with impunity all the revo-
lutions which tineir umeflecting ambition might
dictate. They seem to have persuaded .them-
selves, that because they were brave officers,
they had a right, in defiance- of the nation
and -of all Europe, to ',become disloyal sub-
jects and bad citizens ;. a deplorable doctrine,
which, laowever, is happily only the ex-
cln!ive system of a few perverse and ambitious
Men ;. a doctrine .disowned by real military ho=
nour, and by that multitude of brave soldio 5,
whose eyes T: being at length re-opened, can-no
longer acknowledge glory in those whom they
formerly saw in the field of honour, if they do not
still observe them in the paths of fidelity to their
King and their Country ; and if it:deies
pear that they prove themselves good citizens as
well as great captains, and men of .p,rinciple as
well as warriors full of valour.

PARIS, Nov. 22.—The Spanish General, Mina,
arrived in Paris 'a few ti7.ys
Nov. 23.—The disbanding of the Army being
nearly completed, it is expected that Marshal the
Duke of Tarentum will•return to Paris at the be-
ginning of the next month.
The Duke D'Angouleine left Toulouse the Pith
on, his route t 9 Nismes, where his presence is
deemed necessary. His Royal Highness guve
hopes of his return to Toulouse in a few days.
The Grand Dukes NicholaS and Michael, 'of
Russia,. after taking leave of the King and the
Royal Family; set out from Berlin the' night of the ,
10th, in order to proceed to St: Petersbnrgh, by.
:the route of Warsaw. The Emperor Alexander

The Conventions relative to the Peace being

flow wholly inithe hands of the King, the Com-
lnission for corresponding with the Prefects of
the Departments occupied by the Allied Armies is
dissolved.
On Tuesday, at half-past two in the' afternoon,
Marshal Nev was tuansferred fron► the Concier-
gerie to the Palace of the Peers, and placed in a
chamber that had been prepared for .him\as a
prison. He was escorted by Royal Grenadiers, and
National Guards on horseback, to the amount 'of
about 200. M. de Grismois; an Officer of the Staff
of the National Guards, was with Marshal Ney in
the carriage. The conveyance did not last above
five minutes.
General Rapp is at present in his own house at
Paris, and not at Strasburg, as the Swiss journals
represent.

it is asserted that on Saturday next, the Mi-
nisters of his Majesty will make a communication
to the two Chambers respecting the Treaty of
Peace.
The authors and accomplices of and in the as-

who was one of tile royal volunteers, declared that
he was maintained in his place 'by Lavalette.
When a list of those who were known to be Roy-
alists, were presented to him, he refused to strike
out their names. Also, when the signatures of
those employed in the Post-office were required
to the Acle dilditionel, he •promised by a circular,
that no one shoUld be molested for his opinions.
