Goneral Montholon denied having' ever made any
offer of money to the witness or his companions.
Pierre Bailey, Lieutenant of the Coast Guard at
Vimereux, confirmed the evidence of the former wit-
ness, adding, that on the road to Boulogne, when they
arrived at the column, they eried out, " Vive la Co-
lonne !" A little farther on, Col. Montauban told him
that they were under the orders of Prince Louis, and
wished him to join the escort. He refused. General
Montholon offered him some money, which he refused.
Jean Baptiste Coissy, a private in the 49-d foot, in
garrison at Boulogne, deposed that about five o'clock
on the morning in question, when on guard at the Place
d'Alton, he saw Lieutenant Aladanize COlllO running
up ;he was dressed in full uniform. At the same mo-
ment the Prince and his adherents made their appear-
ance at the opposite side of the square. They cried
out, "To arms !" The sergeant and three men in
the guard-house\ came out and presented arms. Lieu-

tenant Aladanize said, " Follow me, here is the Prince."
He repeated this request several times, but witness re-
marked that he could not quit his post without an order
from head-quarters.
Morange, a sergeant in the 42d Foot, confirmed the
above evidence, adding that the three men at the guard-
house were undecided for some moments, in conse-
quence of the rank of Lieutenant Aladanize, and his
saying that he had the orders of the Colonel for what
he was doing.
Gendre, a private in the same regiment, was on
guard at the barracks on the morning in question.
About five o'clock, Lieutenant Aladanize came up
suddenly, ar.d cried out " To arms—the Prince is ar-
rived !" Witness went to the guard-house. He and
his comrades turned out, and drew up under the gate-
way. The corporal, acing under the orders of the
Lieutenant, made the troops present arms as soon as the
Prince arrived. Ile saw Lieutenant Aladanize em-
brace Lieutenant Maussinon: whom he informed that

replied "never." At that moment one of the insur-
gents made a thrust of his bayonet at Lieutenacr
Alaussinon, who parried it off with his sword. Afte
a few minutes' interval, witness heard the cry
" Vivo le Roi," which convinced them that they ha,
been deceived into a treasonable affair ; he accDrdipgl
withdrew his men, and made them return to th
guard-Louse,

THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.

Our correspondent at Newcastle states that sir,.
the committal. of FOINIes some Enks of evidence ha,
been found, which strongly tend to connect him wit
the murder. For obvious causes we refrain from
more explicit statement on this head. We mentions
last. week, that when Fowles was in Mr. Cottriil's cu
tody, on his way to prison, he volunteered a staternel
to the effect that he had not murdered the poor worm
We learn that he hid previously made a like commur
cation to another person.
Benjamin Tittensor, a special constable, had charf
of him at Newcastle, and remained with him in the roo
after the inquest, on the night of Saturday weel
The prisoner commenced talking, and stated the'
on the Tuesday before the murder, he contract(
with the deceased to board him for 9s. per week. C
the next day he went to seek work, but could not o
taro any ; that at night be went into the house at.
had supper ; there was another man (a stranger) .
then ; they supped and slept together, until alms
two o'clock, when they got up. The other me
got on her bed and throttled her. She made no noise
that the other man broke open a box, took some mon(
out, and gave him part of it ; that they left the how
together, the other man accompanying him to Jacl
son's house for the coat he there purchased ; and Or
they afterwurds parted, the other man (a fiddler) goir
towards Macclesfield, while prisoner proceeded to B.
ming,ham.
The statement cf the prisoner having an accompli,
we think will turn out to be a mere fabrication.

been in Newcastle that day, on hearing the report, v

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
It would appear, after all, that there is some grout
for Fowles' assertion that a man from Manchcst
helped him ; for a fiddler has been picked up by t-
police at Manchester, who has come from Newcast
last, and has plenty of money, of which he can give
account. Cottril, head of Newcastle Police, has go
over about this to Manchester.—Salopian Jour:,

INVERNESS JUSTICIARY COURg

SLANDERING AND DEFAMING, AND SENDING I
INSULTING LETTER TO A JUDGE.—Duncan .3Plnty,,
Fort William, was then placed at the bar, charged Iv;
slandering and defaming Andrew Fraser, Eq., Sher
Substitute, Fort Wiiliam,
and with having written al
subscribed a letter with that view.
Duncan, who looked a very simp'c foolish old ma
acknowledged having written and delivered the lett,
but denied any intention to concuss or intimidate t
Judge.
The ADVOcATE-DEPUTE then shortly addressed t•
jury on the importance of judges and magistrates bei
protected in the discharge of their public duties, at
deprecating the introduction of religious feuds, as vk
evidenced in the letter of the prisoner.
i
The juiy returned a verdict of Guilty, but recto
mended the prisoner to mercy.
Lord MEDWYN then addressed the prisoner
" Duncan, you have to thank the leniency of the J 1
for having recommended sou to mercy. [Hero
Dun:
made a very low bow to the Jurymen.] I trust you
take care in future about addressing great folk, r"
never do it again, my Lord."] You will get no that
for it. I sentence you to four months' i
the gaol of Inverness. [Here Duncan made a v
low bow.] His Lordship said
never see your face again."
To which Duncan replied, "
