FRENCH PAPERS,

LRECEIVED THIS MOTCNING.I

EXECUTIOIY OF LATEDOYERE.
COUNCIL or REVISION.
Airs. 19.=-To-day, it nine o'clock in
the morning, the Council of Revision, composed
'of Field-Marshal de Conchv, President ; Colonels
11Iaria and Chambaut ; Captains Leclerc and
l'ietot de Sainte I.llarie, and M. 'Wend, Com-
missaire-Ordonnateur, whO appealed in the office
k)f Attorney to the King—assembled in the street
ciu Cherche-midi.
The Judge Reporter, after the reading of the
-vlocuments, said '' According to, the exposition
I,hich I have made of the dee:intents at this
*the forms required by the law appearing to me to
be exactly complied with; I have not remarked any
adeletts sufficiently important to be a motive for an-
milling the proceedings."
M. Maugnin, the new Advocate of the accused,
was assisted by M. M. lirachet Perriere and de
Jolt', Advocate to the Councils.
" God forbid," said M. Manguin in his exor-
" that I should seek to take from the
facts which are imputed to Colonel Labedoyere,
the 'character of the crime which is attributed to
them ! Placed in a position almost unprecedented,
the King had only to choose between pardon and
justice ;--"--he has pronounced for justice, and Col.
Labeiloyere has been handed over to the Second
Council of War.
"Ilk the Second Council, sitting at-Paris, was

t~ I l l r ,

incompetent to judge of facts which took place at -
ry'renoble in the 7th Military Division ?. The law is
formal ; it was at Grenoble that Colonel Labe-
itioyere ought to have been judged. If, however,
on account of circumstances, it was. necessary to
Nye him before other Judges, that could only
take placepursuant to a formal law : or much ra-4
.ther, by a decree of-the Court of Cassation.
Qn the other hand, why did the Governor or
Paris arbitrarily pitch upon the second .Council ?
In truth, the first and the second Council have
the same attributes ; but by direct* the crimi-
tals to appear before a permanent -Council of
War, without any other enunciation, it must have
been rather the first c,ouneil which the King had •
in view in making his Ordinance.
" The procedure, said that defendant, abounds
with nullities.

"'The witnesses did not pledge their faith by
the religious ceremony of an oath; they only i,ave
a promise to speak the truth. Nothing proves

they were not asked whether they were friends
or relations of the prisoner. Yet the military
jaw of Pluviose, year 2(1, is not less imperative
on this Subject than the criminal code:
" The Judgeii hare declared the accused guilty
a t►eason aad of rebellion, white ti►e true crime
scos that cif defection.

" The King's Ordinance of the 6th March,
-punishes with death all those military men who
acecrmpatiieil or followed lluonaparte in his in-
,rasion but the Ordinance of the 23d March is
/'css rigorous,- and finally in that touching pro-
clamation c}ated from Canibray, the King " eX-
" cepts from the general amnesty.only the irithors
"or instigators of the plot formed Bwonaparte."
" have proceeded regularly, the Council,.
ought to hare made it a fundamental question,

The Public Minister, in' his exordium, said, that
dicing little practised in pusfic speaking, he could
not set forth his statements in such a luminous anti
methodical way as the defendant ; bitt that he
would follow hint in the principal parts of his dis-
cussion.

In fact, A 1; Ricard, in, a few worils, proved that
the 2d Council of War was competent ; that not
cven the Eing but the Minister, on account of par-
ticular circumstances, had-,a right to 94;n1 persons
accused to such or 5064 a division.

He refuted the other allegations of nullity, and
found no real and important defect.iutlie pro-

COnformahly to these

quarter-past one o'clock, declared mianimonsly„
that the Second Council- of War had, it, its st,„_
tence Of the Nth August, proceetded in-a regular
find campelenl manner.
Consequently the sentence ittraS conErtned, and
its lull: and entire execution ordered.
The prisoner suffered, ntustrant'to his sentence,

past six o'ctio'ck;', he was led. to the p1i..1:1.3 arc=

Having reached the place of execution; heknelt
And received the benediction of the Confessor
who accompanied him. Then, without waiting to
have -his-eyes bandaged, tkccording to custom, he
firmly stept a few paces forward, 'fronting the Ve-
terans who were to hoot him, and pointing to
his breast, cried :—" Above rill do not miss
An instant after and he was no more. The con-
mire with which a French Officer meets death can-
not surprise any one ; bat this very courage makes
the crime of...the guilty the more, to be regretted,
which deprives his country of him. ,
Yesterday, at half-past three o'clock . his Ma,.
jtsty passed -under the grand vestibule of • the
Thuilleries to enter his carriage; a female, in tears,
made her way through the cro vd And hell at the
feet of the Monarch " Sire," she cried, " Par-
(11,4.1 pardon 1"

• Madame Labedoyere was immediately rcc'og7
niied.—" Madame," said' -the King, " I know
your sentiments and those of your family; and
never did I suffer more grief in pronouncing a re-
fusal." Madame Labedoyere fainted. All the
attention required by her situation wrre bestowed
upon her. The "King entered his carriage visibly
affeeted,,atid'all the spectators of this remarkable
-scene felt that his Majesty had pet formed the most
painful duty of Royalty.—(Journal de Paris.)

P-IRIS, AUG. 19.—T0-day at four o'clock, at
the moment when the King was entering his. car-
riage, Madame .Labedoyere fell at his Majesty's
feet, imploring pardon for her husband. ' The
King answered, that if the offence ..of M. Labe-
Iloyere tnitl Only concerned him, his
.pardon would
be granted ; but that the whole of France called
for punishment of a man who brought upon them
all the plagues of war. His M:kiesty was ;much
moved, and it was seen bow much he suffered by
being obliged to withstand the emotions of his
heart. The King who knouts how to join g00d...
ness to justice, deigned to promise, Madame La-
, bedoyere his 'protection for herself and her child.
At sik o'clock, at the moment when the King
was returning,from his airing, the MOther'of M.
Labedoyere Was 10 the Court of the Palace to
make a new attempt to influence his Majesty.
Seeing that measures had been taken to preveFq
her from tittering the vestibule and renewing a
scene equally melancholy and useless, she retired.
Madame Latedoyere was dressed in deep mourn-
ing.—(Gazeit de France.)

PARTS, AUG. 19.—1 t is'generally thotil4lit that
the Allied Troops will begin to evactiate France
about tbeconitnencetaent of the enguing mouth ;

it is 'even said that they are to march hi colufwis

(,f 23,000 men. This opinion is joined to another
idea not less general, that the Treaty' of -Peace is
concluded, and that by it the integrity of the
French territory is.assured.
Yesterday many military mep of all arms came
into Paris ; they all &Hear to be animated ivith
the best-spirit, and assure us that the most perfeet
order prevails in the ariay of the Loire.. These
soldiers have gone quietly to the General Staff,
some of them to be incorporated in the new artny,
others to get their diseharge `and retire to their

departments.
A number of nigEA., troops-- have cotire• to
Tsiontmartre to relieve the garris'on that has been
there. •
