THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAV li, 1835.

dangerous position in which they have been placed by
the cunning contrivance of the KING. They are now,
for the first time, aware that they have been summoned
from their ancestral halls to bedizen with the ornaments
of justice an act of cruel oppression ; and that in the
event of their being overpowered by the people, his
most Christian Majesty would be the first to wash his
hands of all participation in their judicial proceedings.
The knowledge of their danger, has, however, no other
effect on them than to render them desperate. A
large body of them agreed forthwith, that in the event
of the prisoners continuing to disturb the Court in the
discharge of its judicial functions, the accused, so
offending, should be conveyed to prison, and their
trials take place in their absence, in the same manner
as if they were present. Count MOLE, the Duke de
CAZES, and several other highly influential members
of the Chamber of Peers, protested against so uncon-
stitutional a proceeding, and even threatened that if
such a proposition were assented to, they would at
once quit the Court. The Procureur-General, M. MAR-
TI N (du Nord) had the effrontery to cite the course adopt-
edby the National Convention in the trial of Danton and
Desmoulins, who were condemned to the guillotine in
their absence, as a precedent which ought to be fol-
lowed on the present occasion. The President of the
Chamber, Baron PASQUIER, dissented from the doc-
trine laid down by the Procureur-General. M. PER-
SIL, the Minister of Justice, thoug!at the prece-
dent a good one, but failed in his endeavours to make
the Court adopt it.
On Saturday the Court suffered such interruption
from the prisoners of Paris, that it was obliged to re-
mand them to their dungeons. The reading of the
accusation was then proceeded with, and will continue
to occupy the Court for at least three more sit-
tings. How the Peers, who protest against the
trial of the prisoners in their absence, can reconcile to
themselves a tacit consent to the reading of the accu-
sation in the absence of the accused—and which forms
a material part of the trial—is beyond our compre-
hension. Has the Court changed its opinion respect-
ing the precedent cited by the Procureur-General ?
Has it come to the conclusion that it is safer to imitate
the conduct of the Government of the Reign of Terror,
than to allow a body of men about to be tried for their
lives, to choose their own counsel ? Are there no
fears entertained that the slumber of France may at
last be broken by such crying acts of injustice as'are
now in the course of perpetration ? What !—con-
derrin men to death, in their absence, because they
insist on being defended according to the express con-
stitutional laws of their country ? This is horrible.
Far better dispense altogether with the mockery of a
trial, than thus tarnish the sacred robes of justice. If
the Peers are resolved to proceed with these disgraceful
persecutions of comparatively innocent men, let them
at once condemn them to death. The act will be less
cruel, and as far as they are concerned, the consequences
will be precisely the same as if they arrived at
such a conclusion by a much more tedious pro-
cess. They have gone as far as they will be suffered
to go with impunity. The condemnation of the pri-
soners in their absence, must be regarded in the light
of a judicial murder. There is no disguising this
fact ; nor will all the power of the KING be
able to defend them from the punishment which
a justly incensed people will visit upon them, should
they be weak and wicked enough to listen to the
suggestions of M. PERSIL. Of the safety of the
Sovereign, in the event of another revolution, we
shall say very little. No man understands better than
does Limis PIIILLIPE himself, how much lie merits
from the people of France ; and no man has had more
opportunities of observing the exact way in which his
countrymen have latterly discharged all such obligations.

Extracts from the Messager, bringing the latest in-
telligence from Bayonne, will be found in another
column. The insurrection in the north is not likely
to be crushed by VA LDEZ, unless the army under his
command receive speedy reinforcements from the ca-
pital. The report of his having suffered a defcatin an
engagement with ZUMALACA RREGUI is repeated in
the French journals, but most of them doubt that he
sustained any considerable loss.

BOURSE, THREE O'CLOCK.—The market has been worse to-
day for all descriptions of securities. The Three per Cents.
are 82f. 10c. to 15c., flat. The Spanish funds are also lower.
There is a decree in town from Don Carlos,' signed at the
" Royal Palace of Ornato," and dated the 20th of April, in
which he declares that he considers as null and void all titles
of Spanish debt which have been converted by the decrees of
the present Government, and that he will acknowledge them
as debts of Spain, if they exist in the same form as they were
at the time of the death of his brother Ferdinand VII. He
promises a speCial protection to the Royal Loan, and declares
void the new loan of the Christinos. He orders this decree
of his to be everywhere circulated, so that on his installation
in Madrid nobody may pretend ignorance thereof.

Canton Papers to the 7th of January have been
received this morning. They contain no intelligence
of any moment, except the announcement of an Edict
just promulgated by his Celestial Majesty the Empli-
ROR, prohibiting the importation of Opium into any
part of his dominions. They further state that the
Chinese Government sought reparation from the
British Superintendant at Canton, for the injury sus-
tained by the cannonading of Whampoa by the Eng-
lish vessels, immediately previous to the. death of Lord
NAPIER. This question is settled by arbitration, but
the result has not transpired.

Brussels Papers to the 10th instant have been re-
ceived. They state that a number of Belgian and

Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 12th of March
have been received. The following are extracts :
" By the latest intelligence from the frontiers, we learn that
all the military operations between the Fish River and the
Kouskamma have been successful ; andlhat the country be-
tween these two streams, called the neutral territory, have been
completely cleared. Our loss during the operations has been
12 killed and 11 wounded."
" OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
" Head-quarters, Graham's Town, Feb. 26.
ig With reference to the notice of the 13th instant, the Go-
vernor and Commander-in-Chief has the satisfaction to an-
nounce, that the continued operations of Colonel Smith have
since been crowned with complete success."

The Quebec Papers of the 14th of April say that,

since Thursday, the Assembly has granted 25,0001. to
improve the roads and bridges—passed a Bill to ex-
tend the jurisdiction of the Court of Requests to 201.,
and allow a Jury of six persons when either party de-
sired the decision to be final—granted 7,500 dollars
to complete the Dessjardins Canal, and rejected a re-
solution to grant 20,000/. to pay off the war losses.

We have received German Papers, with advices
from Constantinople to the 16th of April. Neither
are of the least importance. Lord PONSONBY had
received dispatches from this Government, with (as
was supposed) official letters of recal. Lord STAN-
HOPE is hourly expected at Berlin.

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, MAY 9.—The Journals of the South bring to-day
the confirmation of the defeat of Iriarte at Guernica. The
accounts published by the Sentinelle, the Memorial des Pyre-
nees, and the Election, differ but little from that of our corre-
spondent.

This is the only recent affair spoken of in the letters from
the South. As for the check suffered* by Valdez, it was at
the passage of St. Fanote that his rear-guard, commanded by
Cordova, sustained the greatest loss. Severals. more seriously
wounded than Cordova, was conveyed with the other wounded
to Logrono, for no other reason than that they could be better
attended to than at Estella.

Valdez has had an order published at Navarre, that his
troops shall not sing the Tragala, nor cry the Constitution for
ever 1 He exhorts them to be humane to the inhabitants, not
to insult them by word or deed, under fear of being punished.
He orders them not to put to death persons who may be met
with on the by-roads, even though suspected, unless they haver
fire-arms. The delay granted by Valdez in his proclamation
expired on the 3d of this month.

The Election says, that on the 30th Valdez occupied Leon
with his columns, and that on the Ist Zumalacarregui went to
Irurzun.

The Sentinelle adds, that the 5,7, 8, and 9th Carlist Bat-
talions, and the factious Otamendi, &c., left the Aranazon
on the 2d instant, and proceeded towards Labayen, doubt-
less to support Zumalacarreguy in his attack on the Fort of
Irurgan, and that Valdez is also advancing towards the same
point. The Sentinelle says further, that on the 29th Zuma-
lacarreguy reviewed 12,000 infantry and 400 cavalry on the
road of Escoriaga, between that village and Mendragon. Let-
ters from Burgos say, that the head quarters of the army of
reserve, are definitely fixed at Briviesca.
Thelndicateur says, that the intervention of France is con-
sidered as more and more probable. Letters from the fron-
tiers affirm, that Valdez himself had written to the Chambers
—that setting aside all national pride, it was absolutely ne-
cessary to call on France and England to take a more active
part in a struggle which threatens to be endless. Of course
news so important requires confirmation. —Messager, April 9.
