FRENCH PAPERS,

(From the Journal des Debuts.)
ARREST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ALLEGED

REGENCY.

Last night, Viscount Chateaubriand, the Duke of Fitz-
james, and Baron Hyde de Neuville, were arrested. The
papers found on M. Berryer were the cause of their ar-
rests, and they were executed in virtue of a demand to that
effect made by the Procureur-General of the Cour Royale
of Rennes, and of a warrant issued by the Judges charged
with examining the affairs relative to the disturbances in
the West. The same warrant included the Duke of Bel-
luno, who could not be found. M. Chateaubriand was
arrested at five o'clock this morning, at Rue d'Enfer, No.
84 ; the house was surrounded at two o'clock; they
waited until day-light before they entered.
M. Chateaubriand showed much sang froid at this un-
expected early visit. He spoke to all those who sur-
rounded him with perfect tranquillity of mind, and took
his grades, in order to write verses to beguile his capti-
vity. He is accused of being the President of the Occult
Regency. We repeat this report, wnich would be circu-
lated were we to make no mention of it. If we thought
that this could in the least aggravate the position of the
prisoner, we would rather destroy our presses than publish
such a report. But there is in question the celebrated
writer, the man of genius, on whom all Paris, all France,
all Europe, will have fixed their eyes ; and we collect,
for the interest of all parties, whatever is connected with
an event which we see with great grief connected with
others so frightful and so fatal.
Baron Hyde de Neuville was arrested at his residence at
four o'clock this morning. He was in bed, and scarcely
recovered from the cholera and the gout. He protested
against all the causes mentioned in the warrant; be is at
the Prefecture, in a small room on the third story. Madame
de Neuville demanded as a favour to be allowed to accom-
pany her husband as his nurse.
The Duke of Fitzjames was arrested, we are told, in a
house in the Rue Chaussee d'Antin.

(From the Messager des Chambres.)
It appears that the Ministry, encouraged by the last
partial elections, as wel: as by what they consider to be
the dispositions of the generality of the electors, and
judging from the addresses of congratulation which they
received, are about to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies.
The propriety of reinforcing their own party by one or
two influential men, and of strengthening the phalanx in
the Chamber of Peers by about 50 experienced Deputies,
would be worth consideration previous to such a measure as
this. It is said that after the arrival of Prince Talleyrand,
who is expected on Thursday or Friday, the determination
will be made public.
The Sentinelle de Bayonne states, that General Mina
had paned through Bordeaux on his route to the frontiers
of the Pyrenees.
(From the Gazette de France of Saturday.)
PARIS, JUNE Is.—At an interval of two or three
days, fifty Lancers, preceded by two gendarmes, have been
to make a search, in the chateau of Usse, belonging to
the Duke de Duras, who is at this moment travelling in
Italy.
It may be easily supposed that this search led to
no result. The chateau of Usse is between four and fire
leagues from Tour,.

Some persons affirm that it seems evident, from papers
lately seized, that the Emperor Nicholas has not renounced
his plan of attacking France, which in 1830 led to the
Polish insurrection. They infer, that the despatches
sent to Marshal Mortier may contain an order, recalling
him. This we soon shall know,
The Nourelliste says, Prince Talleyrand is expected on
Thursday.
The number of the Deputies who have adhered to the
Compte Rendu, is 119 or 120.

ivIEST COUNCIL OF TVAR—PARIS.
CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL OF CAPTAIN rEPIN, OF TILE
NATIONAL GUARD, nut 111011 TREASON.
The Cage for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner
protested his innocence, and requested that his witnesses
might be called.

FOR THE DEFENCE.
M. Gauthier, formerly Inspector of Finance, and M.
Berthier, Chef de Batailloa, gave the prisoner a character

for rounme or mangers, and a political bias in favour of T
tie existing Government.
Some members of his corps deposed that he had given
orders to them to assemble early in the morning for the
purpose of driving away the canaille; that they did net
meet until an hour after be was arrested ; that he had
taken every possible step t o oppose the factious ; that the
guns found in his house had never been used ; and that
his well known character and political bias must have
rende red it impossible that he could have acted as be was
accused of doing.
M. Marie—l present myself before you, oppressed, in a
great measure, by the weight of the responsibility which
has fallen upon me. lam here to defend a man for his
life, and I am well aware what an important thing is the
existence of the father of a family. For this defence I
have had the preparation only of a few hours. I did not,
however, hesitate to undertake so difficult a duty. I con-
fide particularly in your honour. If the defence be im-
perfect, it is not from want of zeal on my part, and it is
not you that will be to blame. No other consciences will
be responsible. Your judgment will, I trust, come in
aid of on insufficient defence ; on that I rely, and there-
fore proceed to the charges immediately before us. First
of all it is my duty to object to your competency. As an
individual I should be happy to leave my client at your
disposal, but as a citizen, I have another obliga-
tion to perform. In my judgment a constitutional
right has been violated, and it is left with me to
vindicate that right. To show respect for a Consti-
tution in times of tranquility is easy, and agues no
particular merit in a man ; but to show respect for it in a
stormy period, when sedition is sapping the very founda-
tions of the country, is as act of difficulty, and therefore
one of honour. Doubtless, when a Government is assailed,
it must defend itself; such a power is essential to its
existence; but if this be admitted, it must also be allowed
that when the crisis has terminated, justice as well as the
country itself should return to its original normal condi-
tion. When the events of the sth of June commenced,
when an insolent few without intelligence, without in-
fluence, audaciously presumed to impose its sentiments on
a majority, no one could sympathize with such a minority,
and I am ready to admit that the declaration of a state of
siege was necessary, under the circumstances. But what
did those in power do ? They appealed to the army, to
the National Guard, and the disorder was put down.
Here the matter ended. By whose councils it was then
that, when tranquillity was thus established, a state of
siege was talked of again? Military honour was per-
fectly satisfied with its triumphs—why then these rash
councillors to urge measures for which there can be
no justification ? Gentlemen, your mission is im-
portant : conquerors as you are, you are called on to de-
cide upon the vanquished in the field of battle. I rely
upon your honour, and I broach the question of your
competency. In my view of the case, your incompetency
is grounded on a double foundation—first, the unconstitu-
tional nature of the ordinance for placing the city in a state
of siege, and next its retrospective character. The advo-
cate then proceeded to discuss the points in a manner that
calls forth from the editor of Le Temps, a warm strain
of panegyric.
The reporter having briefly replied,

The prisoner was about to make some observations,
when the Court interfered, and suggested that he could add
nothing to the effect which his counsel had made. The
prisoner acted on the suggestion. The trial being closed,
the Judge retired, and on returning into Court pronounced
judgment. The charges were for-
1. Attempting to excite to arms against the Royal
authority.

2. Attempting to raise civil war by arming the peopl e
against each other.
3. Heading armed bands to resist the constituted au-
thorities.

Having harboured and protected the said bands,
knowing their designs.
5. Conspiring to destroy and change the Government,
and excite the people to take up arms against the Royal
authority, such conspiracy being followed up by overt acts.
6. Having knowingly and voluntarily supplied the said
bands with arms, munitions, Etc., for the purpose of resist-
ing legal authority, &c.
7. Having by himself resolved to destroy and change the
Government, &c.
The Judges decided as follows :.—Six votes to one for
acquittal on the first charge; the same majority for acquittal
on the second; unanimous for acquittal on the third; six
to one for acquittal on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh
charges.
The acquittal of M. Pepin was then formally pro-
nounced, and he was ordered to be forth set at liberty,
when he shouted out " Vive le Roi !"
