PARIS, SATURDAY. VOUlt. o'CLoCK, I'.
For the last two days it has been very generally
reported, that if the long-wished-for ordinance for
raising the siege of Pads is to appear in the Muni-
teur of next Monday. - Persons who are known to
here frequent access to Ministers have publicly as-
certed it, and the speculators for the rise at die
Bourse have made the utmost of that circumstance,
in the hope of counteracting the drooping tendency
of_ the money-market. They did not, however,
succeed.
A variety of rumours unfavourable to publ:C
credit had been in circulation, and seem yet to oc-
cupy the minds of some of our more credulous poli-
ticians. A war with the three great powers of the
Holy Alliance was, and still is, spoken of as in-
evitable.

The story about the objects of the Berlin treaty
is no longer believed, but the military attitude of the
t tree Powers in question, and the re--cent movements
a their armies, are taken as sufficient indications
of hostile purposes against this country. It is
affirmed that the Austrians have, at present, an army
of not less than 400,000 men stationed on this
side of their frontiers ; that another army of
300,000 Prussians is ready to act on the shot test
notice; and that 150,000 Russians, besides the
troops garrisoned in Poland, are waiting on the fron-
tiers the signal which is to call them to the banks
of the Rlaine. On another hand it is said—and this
allegation is, I believe, well-founded—that the great-
est bustle has prevailed for several days past in the
War-3ffice here, and that it hes been determined to
call for a new additional levy of 300 battalions of
National Guards.

These reports of military preparations are cer-
tainly nor entirely destitute of foundation, but their
objt ct appears to be misunderstood by the generality
of the public here. It is not likely that a new cru-
sade would be set up at this present moment against
h s country, which notoriously possesses the means
of making an effective stand against the most pow-
PI ful of its continental assailants. An alliance
against France, without the cooperation of England,
would be too impolitic and impracticable to be re-
solved upon by the continental despots under present
circumstances. The object of their armament is,
according to all appearance, one of less difficult ais
achievement; they want to put down the liberal
spirit which prevails in Germany, and which seri-
Lusly threatens the sabyersion of- all the despotisms
of civilized Europe. They may succeed ;
although liberal institutions have captivated the
wishes of the Germans, it is questionable whether
they have yet rowed them to that sense of their
rights—to that pitch of patriotism and resolution,
through which alone a triumphant resistance could
be opposed to the overpowering physical means at
the disposal of their oppressors.
The French Government appears to be aware of
the real intentions cf the continental despots, and
therefore is under no uneasiness on that score. But
it cannot remain a more passive observer of the ar-
maments every where in preparation. It must
maintain an attitude corresponding with that of its
powerful neighbours, and therefore it has resolved on
an increase of its military force.
Another report which has partly, though in a
slight degree, contributed to keep the funds do,vn,
re'ates to the necessity of a new loan. It is confi-
dently affirmed that Ministers have resolved on one,
and that the ordinance authorizing it is about to
appear. There are various accounts as to its
amount, but most of them agree that it will not be
very great.
In the West, things really now seem to have
taken a favourable turn. The activity and resolu-
tion diaplityeci by the National Guards, in most of
the disturbed districts, have done much more, in
putting down the insurgents, than the effects
of Government measures. They (the National
Guards) had a personal interest in the restoration
of order, and saw, that unless they took upon
themselves the task of punishing its enemies, there
was but little chance of the speedy extinction
of civil war. The proclamation of martial law
(lid nothing towards it, as the insurgents well
knew that the danger, which they incurred
without ir, was not made any greater by that
measure. With regard to the Duchess de Berri,
she is still in the Boccage, and when last heard
of, had made up her mind to quit France. It
is has been reported that she has gone to Holland,
and that she passed through Paris about a week
ago. This rumour is hardly worthy of notice, but
it nevertheless appears that all her friends here, as
well as the Members of the Government, were kept
regularly informed of her movements, and always
knew the spot where she was to be found. You
will perceive that Mr. Beriyer, jun., has published a
positive contradiction to the statement of the minis-
terial papers, that he had made confessions at his
interroptory, which had implicated Messrs Chateau-
briand, Fitzjames, and Hyde de Neuville, so far as
to call for their arrest. :NIL.. Berryer says he merely
spoke of " others" in Paris as being informed of
the movements of the Duchess, and until the public
tire made acquainted with the grounds on which
that arrest was resolved upon, they must suppose
that the " others" was taken by Ministers to refer
to the distinguished Carlists in question.
The Military Court of Appeal (Cour de Revision)
has not taken up the case of Geoffioy and Colombat,
who have been condemed to death. The appeal
has been transferred to the Cour de Cassation,
where proceedings have already commenced. All
eyes are now fixed on that tribunal, as on its deci-
aion will depend the legality of the ordinance which
bag placed Paris in a state of siege.
411, Ledieu, one of the editors of the Tribune,
who was lately tried before a Juiy and acquitted, for
an alleged libel on the person of the King, has been
arrested by the police, and is now in prison. He is
auspec:ed of being concerned in the plot, yet a mys
tery to the public, of which the police persist in
pointing out Messrs. Gamier Pages, and Cabet
(deputies), as the chief authors. The residence of
M. Pages was again visited by the police yesterday,
and the strictest search made for papers; but it is
said that none of the nature of those which were
looked for were found.

The number of " adhesions" to the Cempte-
rendu goes on increasing; it amounts now to 127.
This already bespeaks a strong minority, and stormy
debates at the ensuing Sessions of the Chambers.—Z.
P.S. The proceedings before the court-martial
today have been utterly devoid of interest. The
first trial was that of Jean Louis Gu:Aintaliat, one
of the National Guard, and the offence alleged
against him was that of having borne a red flag at
the funeral of General Lamarque. The evidence
was very
inconclusive and unsatisfactory, and after
a few minutes' deliberation, the Court acquitted the

prisoner.
Another of the National Guard, named Hassen-
frailty, was then put on his trial, charged with hav-
ing fired on the troops of the line. The evidence
for the prosecution was founded chiefly on the boasts
which the prisoner had made. -For the defence,
witnesses were called, who declared the prisoner to
be a person of weak intellect. rhe trial is not yet
over, the Court having waiting three hours for the
arrival of a witnes, whose evidence is thought ma-
terial to the question.

(From Gcrlignanis Messenger of Friday.)
M. Berryer, jun., has addressed to the editor of
the Gazette (le France, a letter from the prison of
Names, dated June 19, in which, after referring to
the rumour that the Duke de Firzjames, the Vis-
count de Chateaubriand, and Count Hyde de Neu-
ville, were arrested on Saturday in consequence of
discoveries made upon his (M. Berryer s) examina-
tion, he affirms that this is impossible, as his first
examination did not take place till Monday.
It will he recollected that the arrondissement of

L Fitche and Le Mans, in tl.e d,partment of the
•farthe, were the first that became the theatre of
rin the west. Yet those two districts have not
Iseen placed under martial law. By a decree of the
ISth instant, the Royal Court of that department,
takin:r, into consideration the number and importance
of the proceedings commenced at La Fk!elie, ha:
taken upon itself the cognizance of them, and ap-
pointed two counsellors to cAlduct the previous
examinations. It is said that there have been 150
warrants issued, of which 100 have already been
carried into execution.

Accounts from Draguignan (Gard) of the 13th
instant state that, on the 10th, proclamations signed
ITarie Caroline, Regente du Royaunze, were posted
upon the doors of the church and the Hotel de Yule
of St. Maximin.
COURTS-MARTIAL, SITTING of JUNE 21.
FIRST COURT.

The day was occupied with the trial of M. Tiel-
mans,
who was arraigned for attempting to destroy
or change the Government ; for exciting the citizens
to arm themselves against each other; for a con-
spiracy to the same end, followed by overt acts;
fur resisting with arms an officer of the public force;
and for ha.ting attempted by fraud to obtain the
property of another, by using false representations,
in order to excite chimerical hopes of the success of
an undertaking which had no existence. Amongst
the documents read was a report from the Commis-
sary of Police, stating that the prisoner was well
known as a frequenter of drinking houses, and that
he might be induced to undertake any thing by
treating him to wine or spirits. The prisoner being
introduced and interrogated, declared his name to
be Pierre Louis Tielmans, a retired Colonel, and
that his commission had been left with the Com-
mittee of National Rewards. Here the President
read a letter from the Minister of War, stating that
there was no Colonel of the name of the prisoner
upon the lists of the old army. To further questions,
he admitted that he belonged to the Society called
L'Acsociation Gaulaise, of which he was a centurion,
and the object of which was to defend the frontiers of
the kingdom in case of invasion. The President
here stated that this wss contradicted dy documents
laid before the Court, and read a letter, addressed
to the prisoner by a M. Marchand, which called upon
him to hold himself in readiness, as there was to be
some fighting on the occasion of the funeral pro-
cession of General Lamarque. On being asked
whether he carried the stiletto found on him in pur-
suance of the regulations of the society, he answered
in the n gative. He stated that the society assem-
bled at the house of a person named Mandar, at LA
Courtille, and that he went there after the procession
to drink a glass of wine. The Court afterwards
procceeded to the examination of witnesses, several
of whom proved, that on the morning of the proces-
sion, and during the day the prisoner uttered the
most violent and insulting language towards several
of the National Guards, and made threatening ges-
tures with his cane, till he was taken into custody;
but there was no evidence of his having used the
stiletto found upon him, or that he carried any other
arms or any ammunition. The evidence that weighed
heaviest against the prisoner was that of several
workmen, who distinctly swore that he endeavoured
to induce them to enlist in the armed association,
called L'Association Gauloise, soma of whom, on
being received as officers, were to pay him two sous
a-week for introducing them, and those who were
received only as privates, were to allow him one
sou a-week ; but they all stated that their engage-
ment was to be to march to the frontiers, and fight
against the Duchess de Berri. A number of cards
were found upon the prisoner, of different colours,
to be delivered to those enlisted according to the
rank they were to hold, of centurions, decurions, or
curions—that is, different grades of officers. After
hearing the reporter in behalf of the prosecution,
and M. Hardy, counsel for the prisoner, who urged
that though Tielmans might have taken a
more or less active part in the Association Gauloise,
it was evident that the object of that soci-
ety was not different from that which occupied,
but a very short time ago, heads much more
enlightened and minds very differently constituted
than those of the psisoner. The Court, after a short
deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of a conspiracy
not followed by any overt act, and sentenced him to
ten years' imprisonment.
