THE SUN', LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1848,

so that the men under arms might recognise their leaders.—
(One of the " cards" was here shown to this witness.) This
is the card given by a society which held its meetings in
Hatton-garden, and which distributed pikes, muskets, &c.,
to all who had received such cards from the society. The
prisoner Martin was the first man who ever showed me one
of these cards.
Cross-examined—My name is Powell, but I have some-
times assumed the name of Johnson, because I did not wish
my relatives to know that I was mixed up with such things.
I entered the Chartist Association for the purpose of learn-
' ing what was the nature of its proceedings, and communica-
ting them to the police if I saw occasion to do so. I thought
that something would happen injurious to the peace and
, state of the country, and I was resolved to get what know-
ledge I could of the intentions of these men, for the purpose
joining
them, defeating those intentions if possible. Soon after
them, I found that I was among men who would do anything
and everything. I gave Gurney some powder once, per-
haps about halt a pound ; I never gave him any bullets. I
have never been employed by any one to get information. I
told what I knew of my own free-will.
This being the case for the prosecution, as far as it was in-
tended to cary it at present,
Mr. Clarkson said he had now to request the whole of
the prisoners might be remanded for a fortnight. It would
be impossible to complete the indictments for the coming
sessions at the Old Bailey, which commenced on Monday,
and, even if practicable, would not be just even to the
prisoners, who would not then have time to prepare their
defence.
Mr. Macnamara did not object to the proposal for a remand,
but he submitted that with respect to several of the pri-
soners at the bar, there had not been a syllable of evidence
adduced against him. He was instructed that they hap-
pened to go into the public-house by mere chance for a pint
of ale or something of the kind; for it should be remem-
bered that, although the prisoners stood charged with a trea-
sonable conspiracy, they had assembled in a public-house
with open doors.
The twe brothers, Hardy, lons, Norton, and one or two
others, here assured the Court that they were not parties to
the proceedings at the Angel tap, having only entered for
refreshment a few minutes before the arrival or the police,
which quite took them by surprise. They did not say, how-
ever, that they were not Chartists.
Mr. HALL was bound, upon the present evidence, to regard
all the parties present at these meetings as implicated, in a
greater or lesser degree, perhaps, in the avowed design of the
party, which was no other than to attempt an in-
surrection in London. The possession of so many
deadly weapons proved the desperate character of these assem-
blages, and he should have no hesitation in remanding all
the prisoners till Thursday, the 31st instant, fully agreeing
with the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the soli-
citor for the prisoners, that the evidence could not be com-
pleted or the defence prepated in time for the forthcoming
sessions at the Old Bailey.
Mr. Macnamara inquired if bail would be permitted ?
Mr. HALL could on no account admit the prisoners to bail.
The present aspect of the charges against them led to the
conviction that they would probably be committed for the
very serious offence of high treason.
The prisoners were then removed.
Thomas Jones and Frederick Stone were then charged
with being found with fire-arms in their possession on the
same night.
Inspector Haynes, of the A division, deposed to having
found the prisoners in conversation together at the Chartist
club-room of the Charterhouse coffee-shop, Strutton-ground,
Westminster, a place kept by a delegate named Lacey, and
notorious as being the resort of the Chartists belonging to
the " Wallace brigade branch" of the society. Witness took
possession of a book containing a list of the Chartist mem-
bers of the branch, some papers and placards. Jones was
searched by two officers.(Kendal and Walker) in the pre-
sence of witness, who saw a pistol (primed and loaded with
bullet), 70 ball-cartridges, some canisters containing powder,
a bayonet, &c., taken from his pockets. Other weapons and
ammunition were found at his lodgings.
Jones admitted the truth of these statements, but wished
to exonerate the other prisoner, who had nothing to do with
him.
Haynes said that nothing was found on Stone, but he had
reason to suspect that he would be implicated hereafter. The
names of both the prisoners were in the book produced, as
members of the Wallace branch of the association.
Mr. HALL was obliged to keep in mind the statements
made by the witnesses in the preceding cases when enter-
taining such a charge as this. Here was a man found with
such weapons about him on a day which had been fixed for
the disturbance of the public peace, and under circumstances
which compelled him to order his detention, with the other
prisoners, for a fortnight. There was less evidence to affect
Stone, who might be admitted to bail.
William Swinbourne and Charles Young were next placed
at the bar, on a similar charge.
Inspector Russell, of the A division, found the prisoners
together on the night in question (Wednesday), at the Blue
Anchor-yard, in Westminster. Witness and another officer
went into Swinbourne's house, and after searching his rooms
and the outhouses, found a great number and variety of pikes,
pike-heads, daggers, firearms, bullets, combustible balls, &c.
When their arrival was suspected there was a bustling noise
in some parts of the house, caused by the removal ,r con-
cealment of the weapons; while Swinbourne, hastening into
his shop, commenced working at his trade as a shoemaker.
The prisoner said the yard was open to at least 200 people,
and of course he was not responsible for what might be
found there. As to the other prisoner, he assured the Court
that he was merely a lodger in the house, having been there
only a few weeks.
Mr. HALL remanded Swinbourne till the 31st, but dis-
charged Young, against whom nothing appeared in evidence.
A youth, named Thomas Elliott, was charged with having
bullets in his possession, also on the Wednesday, but, after
one or two questions had beers put to the constable who ap-
prehended him, the prosecution was withdrawn.
William Argus, an "Irish felon," was charged by con-
stable F 1 with walking the streets in the midnight of Wed-
nesday with a gun in his possession, which he had concealed
under his coat, and described as an " umbrella" when ac-
costed by the police.
It appeared from a card found in his possession that he was
an enrolled member of the " Irish Felon Society," in London.
They last words of Mitchel were printed as a motto on the
card.

He was remanded for a fortnight.
William Lacey and Thomas Fay. the former of whom baa
been referred to as connected with the Charterhouse coffee-
shop, were charged with having attended the meetings of de-
legates.

Their identity was established by the evidence of Powell,
and they did not deny that they were delegates, but Fay,
who seemed a poor simple fellow, assured the Court that al-
though he had zone into the country as a delegate," he
never knew the object of the mission, or what particular du-
ties were imposed upon a gentleman elected to that office of
distinction. He returned again without having done or said
anything to anybody.
There being •no other case for the present, the Court
was then relieved of a somewhat laborious uuty. The
number of Chartists remanded is thirty, and two have been
discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
SEDITITON.—John James Beier was brought before the
Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel May, City policeman,
No. 357, upon a charge of misdemeanour.
Mr. Hayward, from the office of the solicitor to the Trea-
sury, attended for the prosecution.
Mr. James White, short-hand writer, said on the evening
of Friday, the 28th July last, r attended a meeting at the
theatre in Milton-street, in the City. I got there about a
quarter to eight o'clock. There were not many persons as-
sembled when I first went, but the number was augmented
to about 500 or 600, and increased from that in the course of
the evening to about 1,000 I should think. The witness
then read his notes of the speech made on the occasion by
the defendant, who proclaimed himself a hawker of fish, and
indulged in ignorant and disgusting inflammatory declama-
tion used upon such occasions.
The man was committed for trial.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" Vincit ow= veritas."

Sin,—l have read with astonishment in your paper of
yesterday an extract from a Mr. Sydney's work, headed
"George Stephenson, the author of the Railway System,"
alleging that to the late Mr. Stephenson we are indebted for
the establishment of railways. Perhaps Mr. Sydney will
favour the public with some information as to what consti•
tutes Mr. Stephenson's claim. I have seen a copy of the
first edition of Thomas Gray's work, published in 1820; I
have also in my possession a copy of the fifth edition of
Gray's work, published in 1825, which I think clearly shows
Gray to be the originator of public railways. Mr. Sydney
having made a statement derogatory to Gray's claim, I shall
be glad if he will inform the public of the grounds for his
allegation. If he declines doing so, I charge bun with pan-
dering to popularity to the prejudice of the unrewarded
reputation of Thomas Gray.
George Stephenson was undoubtedly a first-rate mechanic
—but Thomas Gray is the author of the railway system.
Let Mr. Sydney disprove this if he cau.—l ant, Sir, your
very obedient servant, J. B.

THE CONIMISSION.

DUBLIN, AUG. 17. —The Lord Chief Baron and Baron Pen-
nefather took their seats on the bench shortly after ten
o'clock this morning, when the jury panel was called over on
flues of 50/. ; but, notwithstanding the severity of the penalty,
forty-six persons only answered to their names. - rhe list
having been gone through a second time, eight juroit more
answered to their names. •
INTIKIDATION OF JURORS.
Before any further business was proceeded with, Mr. Sa-
muel Waterhouse, foreman of John Martin's jury, begged tb
bring under the consideration of their Lordships the fact
of a case personally affecting him Self, and which occurret
late on the preceding evening. He stated that he had
scarcely reached home, after discharging his duty as a juror,
when two gentlemen called at his house, and requested to
see him. The communication having been made to him, he
instantly came down stairs to the hall, where the two strati-
gers were, and immediately recognized one of them as Mr.
James Martin, who had been examined as a witnes on the
day preceding, on his brother's trial. On his presenting
himself, Mr. Martin asked him whether his name was not
Waterhouse, and on his replying in the affirmative, he said,
" I came here to challenge you to mortal combat, for having
bullied the jury in the case of my brother." He (Mr.
Waterhouse) denied that he had acted as had been alleged;
that he had sworn to return a true verdict, according to the
evidence, and had endeavoured to discharge the responsible
duty cast upon him "well and truly." He expressed his
disinclination to enter into the conflict desired by Mr.
Martin, and then handed him over to the police authorities.
Subsequently, however, the solicitor of Mr. Martin waited upon
him, and expressed on the part of that gentleman's family the
great regret they felt on hearing of the outrage which
had been committed, and assured him that it would cause a
painful impression on the prisoner's mind—not that it might
serve to increase the measure of his punishment, but regret
for the part his brother had acted. He (Mr. Waterhouse)
felt bound to inform the Court that he had received a most
ample apology from Mr. James Martin for the manner in
which he had acted, alleging, in extenuation, that it arose
from the state of excitement in which he was at the moment.
That letter was sent from the Police office.
The CHIEF BARON—Is he there now?

Mr. Waterhouse—Yes, my Lord.
The CHIEF BARON—In making the statement you have,
you have done your duty as regards the administration of
justice in a manner creditable to yourself. If the person who
committed this act were not now in the hands of justice, we
should consider it our duty to call on you to make an affi-
davit on which we would issue a warrant to make him sub-
ject for contempt. As he is now amenable to justice, we do
not think it necessary to take that course.
Mr. Burr—We will produce the young gentleman here
to answer for his contempt. On the part of his unhappy
family, I have to say that nothing could be more creditable
than the manner in which this matter has been brought
forward. No sentence which can be passed on the prisoner
could give him more agony than this act of his brother's,
and when,•on a former occasion, another juryman was as-
sailed, he expressed his disapprobation of it.
The Cum* BARON—As respects the prisoner, it is impos-
sible this matter can have the slightest effect on our minds.
Mr. BuTr—l believe that, my Lords; it is solely for the
sake of his character I speak. His brother will attend here
at any hour you may appoint, and submit to any punish-
ment you may think proper to inflict.
Came BAnme—Let him attend at four o'clock.
SECOND TRIAL OF O'DOHERTY.
The appointed business for this morning—the second trial
of Mr. Kevin Izod O'Doherty—did not commence until
nearly three o'clock this afternoon; the time from the
sitting of the Court at ten o'clock, A. 31., having been wasted
—as usual, we may say—by matter quite foreign to the
issue.

The Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to call over the
jury list, but was interrupted by Sir Colman O'Loghlen,
who handed in a challenge to the array, on the ground that
the panel did not contain a proportionate number of Roman
Catholics.

Triers were then appointed, and, after a protracted dis-
cussion, the challenge was disallowed.
After a number of challenges, both on the part of the
Crown and prisoner, the following jury were sworn :
David Alexander, William Carson, Joseph Robert Comyns,
John Cannon, James Wilson, George Lyons, William r.
Lowry, James Hare, James 'Hunter, John Harris, Samuel
M'Allister, Francis Walker.

The Sor]ierrolt-GENEitAt was stating the case to the jury
at post hour.

DUBLIN, FRIDA.Y MORNING.
The Solicitor-General's statement to the jury, in the case
of the Queen v. O'Doherty, embraced much the same topics,
and was supported by nearly the same arguments as those
employed by the Attorney-General on the former trial.
The first witness called by the Crown was—
Francis IPKeever—He deposed that he knew the prisoner
for four or five years: was engaged in the same establish-
ment with him, namely, that of Mr. Donovan's apothecary;
Mr. O'Doherty was then serving his apprenticeship; wit-
ness was at present Mr. Donovan's assistant; witness was
acquainted with the handwriting of the prisoner (a docu-
ment was here put into the witness's hand); he believed
this to be in the handwriting of Mr. O'Doherty. I have nu
doubt that the paper produced (the manuscript of the arti-
cle headed " Our Harvest Prospects ") is in the prisoner's
handwriting. (Another document—the manuscript of the
article headed "Our War Department"—was here put into
the witness's hands.)—This is not in the prisoner's hand-
writing. I used to live iu Poolbeg-street, and was not
then very well off. I was not promised anything for giving
my evidence, nor do I expect anything, on my oath. (The
manuscript of the articles headed "A Lesson from the In-
surrection in Paris," and "Courage," were here put into the
witness's hands, and he stated they were not in the pri-
soner's handwriting.)
Mr. Vernon, of the Stamp-office, was next examined—He
deposed to the declaration of proprietorship of the Tribune
having been lodged in his office, signed by Mr. O'Doherty
and Mr. Williams, and Daniel Hoban, the printer; and also
to copies of each publication of that paper, signed by the
prisoner, having been lodged there.
Constable Michael M'Ginn, 12 G, examined—He bought
the newspaper produced at the office of the Tribune on the
Bth of July.
Sergeant Prender examined by Mr. BALDWLN—On the Bth
of July last he went to the printing establishment of Mr.
Purdon, on Bachelor's-walk, armed with a warrant for the
arrest of a person named Hoban. After arresting Hoban. he
got from him certain manuscripts connected with the Tribune
newspaper, which he brought away to the detective office, in
Exchange-court, and locked up there. They were after-
wards taken to the Lower Castle-yard. The manuscripts
already referred to were produced, and identified by the wit-
ness as those which he had seized.
The several documents tendered by the Crown in evidence,
including the manuscript of the article entitled " Our Har-
vest Prospects," were then put in and entered as read, which
closed the proceedings in this case for the day.
Mr. Martin, brother to Mr. John Martin, recently tried and
convicted, was then, at the command of the Chief Baron,
p!m,d at the bar of the Court.
aterhouse was also called, but he was not in attendance.
The CHIEF BARON said, we desire Mr. Martin and Mr.
Waterhouse to be in attendance at the sitting of the Court
to-morrow morning.
Mr. O'RoRKE then applied that Mr. Martin might be al-
lowed to stand out on bail, stating that he would be respon-
sible fcr his appearance next morning.
The application was granted.
The Court then adjourned to ten this morning.
LATEST FROM THE SOUTH.
CLONMEL, THURSDAY EVENLNG, AUG. 17.—About nine
o'clock on the night of the 14th a party of dragoons arrived
in Limerick, bringing with them, from Abbeyfeale, Mr.
Hartnett, who, we are informed, was arrested on a charge
of high treason. He is charged with being the person who
headed the party that sloped the mails a few days ago in that
neighbourhood. On his arrival in Limerick he was lodged
in the county gaol. He complained of great weakness and
exhaustion, and was kindly provided with tea ; he was
offered, but declined, spirits, saying he had not taken any
for many years.
At two o'clock on the 15th another body of dragoons
and some infantry escorted into prison about 25 of Hartnett's
followers—men,, women, and children, whose appearance
was miserable in the extreme. As they passed through the
streets while it was raining fearfully, the impression pro-

Wednesday the detective police arrested a gentleman
named John Martin Burke, who gave his address Fort Wil-
liam, Scotland. Mr. Burke was committed to Newgate under
the recent Act of Parliament.
Full committals, by warrants, signed by his Excellency,
have been lodged at Newgate on the following person/I:
Richard F. Ryan, Eugene Martin, James Lawlor, and Timothy
Setoff.
A gentleman who travelled through the counties of Lime-
Tick and Tipperary yesterday, states all excitement has sub-

The potato blight, it appears, is on the increase in these
districts.

DEPARTURE OF STATE PRISONERS.
Thirteen of the persons in custody for political offences,
including Patrick O'Higgins, Mr. S. J. )Heaney, and J. 'bare',
barrister, arrived at Kingston this morning, 'by the seven
o'clock train, and were put on board a Government -steamer,
which steamed at once from the jetty, bearing towards the
north. It is supposed their destination is either •Carrick-
fergus, county _Antrim, or Fort George, Scotland., The pri-
soners were escorted to . Kingston by a large body of the
metropolitan police. There was not the slightest excitement,
nor was there apparently any.sympathy for the patriots.

THE INSURRECTION OF JUNE.
The following is the deposition of M. Arago, Member
of the Provisional Government before the Committee of
Inquiry. It is the most important evidence given, and
bears heavily against M. Ledru Rollin and other func-
tionaries:—

FIRST DEPOSITION OF 11f. ARAGO.
SIrTLNG OF WEDNESDAY, JULY' 7.

The President—You are more capable than any one else to
enlighten us on the attempts (attentats) of the 15th of May
and 23d of June, on their origin and the circumstances con-
nected with them.

I M. Arago—Please to question me.
The President—There seemed to be little homogenity in
the elements of the Government. Was not that one of the
causes of the successive manifestations of the people?
M. Arago—l am inclined to say all I know. I avow that
discord did exist in the Government. There were two
elements present: the element of the moderate republic; the
element of a more• ardent republic. Thence discord arose,
which, however, never manifested itself in outward acts.
Arguments and threats were both resorted to against us.
The first origin of the disturbances was the mad doctrines
promulgated among the working classes. It was evident
that ideas of such a nature would lead to bloodshed. The
theories of the Luxembourg were pernicious ; they gave rise
to hopes which manifested themselves even in the electoral
colleges. For instance, at the elections of the Garde Nationale,
such questions as the following were put :—" If the National
Assembly does not share our opinions, will you march against
it ?" That question was put. It was pretended that Paris
was all France, that Paris ought to rule and govern all.
When the National Assembly found it impossible to respond
to exactions above its wishes and strength, a fearful ullentut
concerning the circulars
was made against it. This was one consequence of such
sensation o u o say
t the country ?
M. Arago--They were deplorable. They made men
Utopias.
li'
whcrielsis((l)c
jnats—tivWclalautseldia Na•e
doubt of the possibility of establishing a republic in France.
We decided that a member of the Government should revise,
control the expressions and the spirit of any new circular,
but this measure was not carried out. I owe it to truth
and to justice to say, that the author of the cir-
culars was not M. Ledru Rollin, but M. Jules Favre ;
he avowed this himself at an assembly of electors.
But I return to
the Luxembourg. One of our first dissen-
sions arose there. M. Louis Blanc desired the creation of a
ndnistjre du piogriii. I opposed it, on the ground that the
principle was a false one, because it was to be imposed upon
us under the mask of the name of the people, because the
Ministry would have been necessarily given to Louis Blanc
himself, and we might have been suspected of sharing is

doctrines. He threatened to resign. It would hare been
dangerous, as we had no power. What would have been
the result if a conflict had occurred then? The same elements
of disorder that exist now existed then. The city of Paris
ran the risk of being sacked.
President—ls it the dissenting element in the Government
which opposed the return of the army to Paris?
M. Arago—Yes ; but the clubs had a great :deal to say to
it. They were very threatening on that point. Iu my capa-
city of Minister of War, I took it upon myself to recall same
of the troops. I was obliged to have recourse to a subterfuge
to procure artillery. I then recalled two regiments of in-
fantry and two of cavalry. I did not give in to the menaces
of the clubs, who were confident that no more troops should
be seen in Paris.
President—You had thus two elements opposed to you,
the Republique Rouge and Socialism. Were those elements
leagued together against you?
M. Arago—Sometimes they were united, sometimes not.
M. Ledru-Rollin never shared the Socialist principles of M.
Louis Blanc; but in other respects they acted in concert,
especially as regards the adjournment of the elections.
That adjournment gave rise to a violent controversy. M.
Ledru-Rollin -did not think that France was democratic
enough. He thought that time should be allowed for it to
inculcate democratic principles; that an adjournment was
therefore indispensable. As regards the coercive measure,
MM. Ledru-Rollin and Louie Blanc were of the same
opinion. M. Ledru-Rollin made a report to the Govern-
ment on the events of Rouen. That report was not favour-
able to the two generals who gave the orders there. At the
conclusion of this report a proposition was made by Louis
Blanc to recal the two generals, and try them by court -
martial. This led to a violent discussion. I opposed it, and
finally carried the point.
President—At the manifestation of the I6th of March cries
were raised of " Vive Ledru-Rollin 1" What interpretation
may be set upon them?
M. Arago—The National Guards made a manifestation,
which I iray qualify as ridiculous. I was conveying M.
Ledru-Rollin in my carriage ; a National Guard exclaimed,
" A bas Ledru-Rollin 1" I said to him, " You are not aware
of the imprudence you are committing. You are not aware
that it was here Foulon was killed ; that your exclamations
may cause a similar disaster." The shouts ceased. On ar-
riving at the place of the Hotel de Ville, cries of Vive Le-
dru-Rollin !" succeeded the former ones, which were uttered
on the Quai Pelletier.
President—What was the object of the counter-revolution
of the 17th of March?
M. Aragc—l was not a witness of the facts ; I was not able
to go to the Hotel de Ville. I had two Ministries to attend
to. I remained at the Ministry of War.
President—What is your opinion of the manifestation of
the 16th of April? •
M. Arago—On the eve we were informed that the mani-
festation would be on a large scale. The Government de-
cided on not proceeding to the Hotel de Ville, so as not to
comply with the exactions which might be -demanded : it
was resolved not to go there until the National Guard were
masters of the movement. I, however, proceeded there at
one o'clock. I only found MM. Buchez and ilecurt. They
were anxious at being there alone. They made me remain;
but shortly afterwards I withdrew to the Mairie of the Bth
arrondissement. The Bth Legion behaved well. From there
I could procure ammunition from Vincennes; Colonel Rey.
who afterwards came to parley with the emeute, undertook
the defence of the Motel de Ville, for which he was answer-
able, and moreover, three guns were to be fired to warn me of
danger.
President—On this day, what part did the two elements
play, with which we were occupied just now? An investiga-
tion was set on foot, what became of it ?
M. Arago--I ant not aware whether that manifestation was
provoked by these elements; I am ignorant of the details of
the investigation.
President—Was not that investigation dropped on the oc-
casion of the fete of the colours?
M. Arago—tt was under the Arc de Triomphe that M.
Caussidiere came and informed me that M. Blanqui bad
not bee' arrested, notwithstanding my orders. That deter-
mination was adopted in consequence of the greatness of the
manifestation, and not to :attach too great importance to
Blanqui.
The President—Will you explain yourself on the events of
the 15th of May.
M. Arago—We were told on the eve that a manifestation
would take place in favour of Poland. We feared that
Poland was only a pretext ; every precaution was taken to
'prevent the mob arriving at the hall of the Assembly. The
most formal orders were given to that effect. We were con-
vinced that it was impossible for any human force to cross
the threshold of the Assembly. When I heard of the viola-
tion which had taken place, I was surprised, indignant,
furious. We immediately consulted on the best measures
to liberate the Assembly; but there was an apprehension.
We feared exposing the members of the Assembly to the
risk of being assassinated ; thence arose the necessity of
temporising. Some of the members had arrived at the
Luxembourg, M. Berville among others, who told us that
the Assembly had been dissolved, and that it was neces-
sary to rally it at some other point. Our first idea was to
take measures for admitting the Assembly to the Luxem-
bourg. I then proceeded to the Assembly. I passed
through the 11th Legion. I found them disheartened and
cast down by the report of the dissolution of the Assembly,
and the overthrow of the Government ; I cheered them by
protesting against the attempts that had been perpetrated.
I declared that all that had been done was null and void—
that the Assembly maintained its powers—the Government
its authority. On returning to the Luxembourg, I was met
by Quentin, ex- Recevear des Finances, who said, " 1 am come
to replace you." I seized him by the collar, and said,
" Whilst you are replacing me, I shall meantime find yon
a place in a prison." He was armed with a brace of pistols.
He is now at Vincennes. After this incident, the 11th
Legion, full of ardour, offered to accompany me to the Hotel
de Ville. We punished all who took a share in the attempt.
We deprived Colonel Saisset of his command; we even pu-
nished those who, without taking an active part in the at-
tempt, wavered in their duty. I may cite General Tamponre,
whom we deprived of the command of the Garde
Mobile, because he had shown himself with epaulettes in one
of the public tribunes during the invasion of the Assembly. On
the 14th, when we summoned all the authorities to receive
our orders, the commissary did not come ; nor did we see
more of him on the 15th. He excused himself on the ground
of a sprain, and sent us an officer who told us from him
that there was at'the head of the movement men of whom
he was sure, whom he could answer for as for himself; and
that nothing would then be attempted against the Assem-
bly. I had wished to have hint arrested, and his papers
seized ; but my advice was not followed, and I had it recorded
in the proas verbal. Aly conviction was that he was mixed
up in all this.
Presidthit—Sobrier was one of the principal authors of the
attack on the 15th of May. He had received arms from the
Prefecture of Police.
M. Arago —The Minister of War is the sole depositor of
arms. Ou the demanti of the Minister of the Interior arms
were delivered to all the National Guards. They asked
me, in a letter signed by M. Elias Regnault, for a thou-
sand muskets immediately far the Prefecture of Police.
Colonel Bressol was charged with the distribution of the
arms. The individual who bore the letter said he was So-
brier, and that 500 were wanted for the Prefecture, and 400
for the ancillary establishment in the Rue Rivoli. M. Bres-
soles went to ask M. Elias Regnault if the distribution was
to be effected in this way : the answer was in the affirma-
tive. Not content with this, he wished to learn it of M.
Caussidiere himself. M. Caussideire told him to send him
800 to the Prefecture and 200 to the Rivoli. The Rue Rivoli
was not considered as the private house of Sobrier, but as a
succusale of the Prefecture, in orthr to be master strategically
of that position.
President—Did the Government allow all this?
M. Arago—We knew nothing of all these disorders. M.
Courtais had apprised us of the presence of functionaries at
Sobrier's door. We had given orders to suppress them, but
we had not been obeyed; we rarely were, as one has seen on
the 15th of May, as one will see more clearly in the subse-
quent proceedings.
President—Why did you entrust the command on the
15th of May of all the troops to AL Courtais?
Arago—l knew personally what to think of General.
Courtais's capacity. You know the episode of Gen. Petit's
arrest? A commission was instituted to appreciate the
facts. Marshal Molitor was its president. Such was the
presumption m4' the chiefs of the National Guard, that they
refused to be presided over by one of the first generals of our
ancient armies.

President—Why did not General Fouch6 act?
M. Arago—lt would seem that he obeyed M. Courtais.
President—Two or three different elements, with diverse
i
views and objects, nterpellated the masses who invaded the
Assembly ; the project to overthrow it, was it determined
beforehand ?
M. Arago—l think not; it was first of all only a question
the appetite came with eating.
to bring a petition to the bar; am disposed to think that
President—. Nevertheless, a proclamation found at Sobrier's
would lead one to believe that the conflict was foreseen.
M. Arago —I have no knowledge about that. Sobrier was
arrested at 15, Rue Bac, and conducted to the Quai d'Orsay.
I was told that there was an idea of carrying him to the
Prefecture. I opposed this. I made the Colonel of Dra-
goons responsible, on his head, for the orders I gave him.
The next day the Colonel of Dragoons would not give up
Sobrier, without a permit from myself.
President—Did they wish only to intimidate the Assembly
or overthrow it?

M. Arago—l kept myself aloof from all parties I never
saw any chief of the clubs. I mistrusted that sort of men.
Some of my colleagues can tell you more on this head than

I can.
President—Did you take any part with relation to the
prisoners of the 15th May?
Arago—The banquet of 25 centimes bad for its object
their liberation. It was decided that day I should go to shut
myself up in Vincennes. I had examined beforehand a
quantity of furze, of which they had need to fill the fosse.
As to the judgment of the prisoners, we had no plan settled.
Nevertheless, we should not have had them tried by an ex-
ceptional court. We should have sent them before a jury,
with the proviso of asking from the Court of Cassation
powers to send the affair to a Court of Assize other than that
of the Seine, out of legitimate suspicion.
President—lt appears that the delegates of the Luxem-
bourg had become the brigaders of the national workshops.
Did they not receive orders from M. Louis Blanc in the new

position?
M. Arago—M. Marie it was who occupied himself about
the organization of the national workshops. That is enough
to tell you with what honesty it was effected. We were pre-
occupied with the difficulties of arranging the project in the
different mairies ;- there ensued thence disorders and abuses.
We had wished to remedy this, in dividing the operation of
Payment. The organization essayed for this met with unfor-
seen obstacles; the 'first was to produce a great agglomera-
tion, serviceable for emeutes. After that, we sought to dissi-
pate the workshops, but we always found new obstacles. A
little befbre the last events, two or three measures were
adopted : one had for its object the elimination from the na-
tional workshops of all men, from seventeen to twenty•five
years old, to incorporate them in the army ; another pro-
scribed the return of workmen (like the hatters) to private
workshops which were open ; and in the third place, it was
proposed to direct the greatest
possible number of workmen
to their places where hands were required, notably on
Angers. One was, to have embarked for their destination 150
Curbevoie,. as
on the 23d of June, and the next day 400. We even in-
tended to go as far as 1,200. Bad influences prevented
their departure. Objections were made to me, when I went
to the barricade in the Rue Souillot. "They would have

had calculated the rate of piece-work by the more feeble
workmen, painters, printers, etc.; it resulted, that the most
vigorous and expert earned as much as 15 or 16 francs a
day. I think that an individual, placed at the head of the
close the lists of inscription. On the penultimate evening
before the 23d of June, a mayor was dismissed, fur one sole
inscription made in neglect of these instruations. The bar-

President--What person wanted to imp: mint the members
of the national workshops in au electioneering interest?

(M. Arago—.sl. Emile Thomas ; he intended to be a can-
didate.
President—What means had he at his disposal to produce
this augmentation?
M. Arago—Whilst I was Minister of War, he came to me
to ask me to take 4.000 workmen off his hands, who worked
on the Champ de Mars.
President—What steps were taken to provide against the
catastrophe of the 23d June ?
M. Arago--On the 22d June the Ateliers Nationaux sent
fiVe delegates to M. Marie, headed by Pujol,siwiso spoke iu
an insolent manner. M. Marie bid him be //lent, and said
to the others, " You who are real workmen (rais ouvriers)'
speak to me, I am ready to hear what you have to say. You
do not answer. Are you. then, the slaves of Pujol?" They
refused to give any explanation, and went away. 1 know
that a rendezvous had been arranged for the following
morning, at six o'clock. In the night between the 22d and 230
June, at eight in the morning, on a report of the prefecture of
police, orders were sent to General Cavaignac to have a regi-
ment of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry drawn up
on the Place de l'Estrapade at six in the morning.
That order was not executed. I may add, that on the 24th
May a decree of the Government ordered 20,000 troops of the
line to be called into Paris. The Minister of War was
charged to see that decree put into execution, with the
Garde Mobile and the Garde Republicaine; these forces
united to the artillery were to suffice. Tue demonstration
which had taken place at M. Marie's had alarmed us. Order
was given on the 22d to the Minister of the Interior and to
the prefect of police to arrest 57 delegates of the Ateliers Na-
tionaux, Pujol being one of them. We were informed that
their addresses could not be found. These very men were
all found at the barricades, of which they had the command,
I am not yet aware whether Pujol has been yet arrested.
The result was, that instead of having to attack barricades
under construction, which could have been easily carried,
we had to contend against barricades that were completed
and fortified,
A Member—At the Ministry of War, who gives the order
for the movement of troops?
M. Arago—The Minister himself; he addresses his orders
to the general of division.
President—lt has been said that on the 15th of May M.
Charras went to to the Luxembourg to ask for instructions,
and that on his way he announced that the order had been
given to cease beating the rappel.
M. Arago—l am only cognizant of this fact through my
brother, who accompanied Charras to the Luxembourg.
Charras is a most intelligent and brave officer. I took an
interest in him. He was formerly a pupil of the Polytechnic
School, and I had facilitated the commencement of his
career; he had also been recommended to me by General
Bedeau and General Larnoriciere. Perhaps he feared lest the
Members of the Assembly should be massacred. In such
dilemmas, I must avow, it is difficult how to act.
M. Arage adds—The Garde Mobile behaved admirably.
They fought with us. They were proud of their uniforms.
.Nevertheless, we wished to have twenty thousand men in
Paris. Were there less? I ens ignorant. Respecting the
Garde Republicaine. who would have ventured to call it out,
in presence of the insurrection, davoted as it was to M.
Caussidiere ? But we had the list of officers carefully gone
over by a severe commission. Out of ten officers, in some
cases nine were rejected.
President—flow do you explain the change in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine, where, at an earlier period, the public
mind had shown itself favourable ?
Al. Arago—lt is very difficult to say. The minds of the
ouvriers of that faubourg had been tampered with. The
announcements of the clubs had much to say to it. I should
prefer seeing the worst theatres in the world to those clubs.
We turned them out of the buildings belonging to the State,
but we were obliged to respect the right of association.
Under the Provisional Government, the position was a diffi-
cult one. People said, " Why do you not bite?" We
might, have replied, "Because we have uo teeth." We were
obliged to let many things pass. They threatened to leave
us. " Go," we might have said, but it was only latterly
we could have said so. It was not only in the street, but
in the Government, that the red flag was proposed, on the
17th of April. I said I should preter being cut to pieces
rather than adopt that flag. When the quarrel became
more violent, I said, "Call in your adherents, I will have
the rappel beaten, and we will decide the question with fire-
arms!' Each day we had difficulties of every description
to contend against. "Let it come to blows," were expres-
sions often repeated;, and I always replied, " Well, let it
come to blows, then I" On the following day, the 19th of
April, some of! the members of the Government wore a red
feather in their hats—it was the day of the grand review.
I refused to wear that emblem.
SECOND DEPOSITION (7TIII JULY).
..

President—Can you give us more complete details respect-
ing a meeting which you have spoken to us about, and at
which two magistrates are said to have been present?
M. Arago—l had learnt that meetings were very fre-
quently held at the lilinistry of the Interior, between certai❑
magistrates and functionaries of that Ministry, and that the
most singular topics were discussed there. We wished to
have correct information on the subject. We did not succeed
in obtaining it. The late events have brought the truth to
light. M. Louis Blanc was astonished at the vivacity with
which the prosecution against him was carried on by MM.
Portalis and Landrin. lie said—" But they were pole-me/e
with us in our projects for overthrowing the moderate party
of the Provisional Government, and but lately the National
Assembly itself." It was to M. Duclerc that id. Louis
Blanc held this language. M. Duclerc mentioned it to
Gamier PagZis, who repeated the words to me himself. I
waited upon M. Ledru Rollin to sound the matter to the
bottom. M. Ledru Rollin said to me, "I am the me ready
to enlighten you, as I did not approve of the measures
proposed by those gentlemen. On the 3d May especially
you and the Assembly were under discussion." M. Ledru
Rollin declared to me that it was not the clubbists who were
most active in endeavouring to overthrow a part of the Go-
vernment, and to effect the dissolution of the Assemby, but
MM. Portalis, Landrin, and Jules Favre. It was at a date
previous to the commis-ion of inquiry that M. Ledru Rollin
made these disclosures to me. He did not assist at all the
meetings (conciliatules), the last of which was held on the
3d May, the eve of the re-union of the National Assembly.
In his absence it was M. Jules Fevre who did the honours.
The revolution was said to have deviated, and that it was
necessary to bring it back to its source. I have since re-
called to my memory all the events we have passed through.
The instructions which the Provisional Government confided
to those magistrates were given in a very careless manner,
without any regard to discretion. Those gentlemen initiated
the whole world in their researches—in their investigations;
the investigation relative to Blanqui especially was conducted
in that sphit. One day M. Portalis had said that it was I
who gave the order to have arms conveyed to the re-
sidence of Sobrier, with whom I am not even ac-
quaint A. I explained, on my first examination, the
circumstances respecting the conveyance of those arms.
A Member—After the meeting of the Assembly were the
conciliabules continued?

•
Arago—l amignorant in that respect.
President—There seems to have been very little difficulty
in giving arms to whoever applied for them ?
M. Arago—They were given at tha demand of the maires
addressed to the Minister of the Interior.
M. Arago adds—l wish to give au explanation concerning
M. Caussidiere ; I wish to explain why I felt so much re-
pugnance fur him. He was always boasting of having
_saved us. He said—" I put a stop to those who wished to
overthrow you." I replied, " But why do you not arrest
those men who dared to conceive such projects ?" M. Caus-
sidiere would not understand me. He contented himself with
telling our enemies to remain quiet, in a tone which seemed
to imply that they were to reserve themselves for other oc-
casions.

President—Were there not other Members of the Provi•
sional Government in a similar embarrassing situation as M.
Caussidii;re ?

M. Arago—lf there had been, I should not have felt more
sympathy for them than for M. Caussiniere.
President—Do you know anything of a speech of M. Cans-
sidii'sre's pronounced in the presence of forty-eight commissa-
ries of police—a speech in which society was treated in a
most peculiar manner?
M. Arago—No ; we had no police; the few agents we had
were not very trustworthy. They were told not to compro-
mise themselves for a Government which could not last.
The Prefect of Police and the Minister of the Interior had
quite a different opinion of those agents. They be-
lieved in their faithfulness. They were mistaken. To
avoid a division we passed over these inconveniences, so as
to arrive at the Assembly without any violent conflicts.
We wished to accelerate the meeting of the National As-
sembly, and to convoke the electors immediately. The
other members of the Provisional Government pretended
that the populations were not sufficiently prepared. They
were right in saying so. They were badly prepared by the
circulars and the bad selection of commissaries. To such a
point was this carried, that they were unhappy enough to
select for :the central commissary at Havre a galley-slave.
He has since returned to his former avocation—he has assas-
sinated a person.

(To be continued.)
The examination of M. Berryer implicates M. Lalanne.
The information collected by the authorities concerning
Louis Blanc, Caussidiere, and Sobrier implicates seriously
these gentlemen.
The depositions of General Bertrand implicate M. Lara-
bit, under-secretary of the war department, for having at-
tempted to corrupt the troops.
