M. DE CHANTLLAUZE.

Do you know if your entry into the ministry arose Sam the de dr of
changing the political eastern of the administration? you
know who pre orders for the arrest of several persons on the day of rite
27th ? I know not.—Do you know any thing relative to certain pro-
s made to U. Lisoire to furnish combustible projectiles of nth eh
he is the inventor? I know nothing respecting them a-td this name is
perfectly unknown to me.—Do you know whether tl e King consulted
other councillors besides his minister. ? Ido not know.—can you give
any details respecting your joining the mir.istry ? I always felt a r•-
pugnance to accept dose high functions. flaying been named towards
the 15th or 16th of August Minister for Eccissiastical AtEtirs and Pub.
lic Instructim4l refused, and was fortunate enough to have my niu..al
accepted. I manifested the same repugnance, and expressed the ssme
leftists!, on being named Utterly Keeper of the Seals. New circumstances
prevented me from being free to persist in this resolution.

DEPOSITIONS OF THE WITNESSES.
In the STAR of yesterday we gave a condensed account of the depo-
sitions of Helmet, Riehehourg, Lane. Arago. and Rayfux ; as ;le-
wise the subsumes of the most important—namely, that of Louis lie
Itounsierouski,aide.de-eamp to the Duke of Ragusa (3larmont.) We
now subjoin two more of the most striking evidences viz :
CASIMIR PIERRE FERLEIL
Aged fißy.two, Deputy of the Seine, residing rue Neuve de Luxem-
bourg.
On Tuesday, the 27th of July, a first meeting of the deputise, who
were in Paris, took place at my house ; it was at this meeting that the
protestation, which afterwards appeared in the journals, was aAr. to.
During this meeting, some groups had been formed at the disir •.f ii.v
house; they were dispersed by the fire of the gendarmes,which wiii.t.tied
weevil young men, but the armed force did not attempt to cuter my
dwelling. Nevertheless, as several guardhouses were in the neighbour.
hood, we thought it would be preferable to cllonse anotiu r place for oar
meetings; arid we fixed upon the house of 31. A. tie Puyraveau, fir
the next day. In the mating which took place on ‘Vednestlay at that
Deputy's, five members were chosen from the assembly, to proceed to
the Duke of Hague*, in order, if possible. to obtain the cessation of the
fire, and to make arrangements which might conciliate the principles
that we supported with the interest of the authority that had violateu
them. The five Deputies were Messrs. Gerard, Lafiqe, :Mangum,
Count Lobau, ar.d myself. 31. Latitte was charged to speak for us.
On arriving at the Tuilaies Leman one and two o'clock, we met
Baron de Glandlves, who hastened to give us every facility possible if
obtaining an interview with the Duke de Ragusa. The Marshal ex-
pressed satisfaction at the step we had taken. We detailed our coin.
plaints', which bore in particular upon tile illegality of the ordinances,
on the violent attack on the population, and on the town being declared
in a state of siege without any intimation of it having been gin II to
the inhabitants. The Mahal appeared astonished that the neeess4cy
measuresitad not been taken to give notice to the poi els. ion. He sp.
Feared alio greatly afflicted at his own situation lie sibs, rv. dto us, that
that situation was connected with a point of honour—that he had done all
in his power toavoid the evil, - but that, haring been att..ciCed, he enuld mit
but defend himselt. We in our turn remarked, that the aggressii 1, hail out
arisen from the inhabitants, but that discharges had been male upon them
without provocation. We proclaimed also a desire to attain conjiation
between the panics. lie was also inclined to it, but In.fose.l-3tiiii he
demanded that the submission of the inhabitants should he absolute,
and he requested us to employ oar influence with them. We replied,
that we could not hope for any. if we did not proclaim as the basis of
the reconciliation the revocation of the ordinances and the dismissal et
the ministers. Before any steps were taken, it was necessary that this
should be done. The Marshal declared iet he could take noihnz
upon his own responsibility, hut that he would inf.nn the King of
our proceeding, and that he would entreat its being taken into contd.
derarion ; but that. in his opinion, there was nothing to he horti fir
horn it. Many of my colleagues understood thnt an answ r was lit 't•
given to us, but I ant not certain that the Marshal i'.ll re.:lly say that
this answer should be made. I ant only sure that he promises! .0 in.
form the King of our proposals. An aitl.de-camp having untried, ct .1
annoys. d for some time with the Marshal after he had I.R. tht
asked us if we should feel any repugnance to ace Ole Prince the
nee? We replied, that being charged with an ittiairtaiit mis • in
the irrerest of the country, we could have no repugnance to see 31.
de Polignite. The Marshal proceeded to the cabinet, where, I
believe, die Ministers were assembled, and, on his return, some
minute,. afrerwauls, lie told us, that having informed 31. de Polignac
of the conditions to which we attached the use of our influence with
the people, the Minister had replied that he considered it useless to see
us, and that we might withdraw. We did withdraw, and on going
out we met 31. tie Lamehe Jacquelin, who told us that the Ptinee de
Polignac was expecting us. We observed to him that he was most pro-
bably in error.. and he returned to know from the Minister it such were
the fact; he informed us, that in reality the Prince no Lager desired to
see us We received no answer that evening to the OVCVUTCM Wl' hait
made. 1 have since beard that orders had been given, but I do not know
exactly at what time, to arrest several persons whose moues t ea.,,ct
mention, as 1 did not know them, but 1 have rothing to state in Otis
respect from my personal knowledge. 1 have been told that the Doke
de itagusa sent an aide-descansp to 31. de Foncauld to prevent t Ilise
arrests from taking place. I have been also told that at the • that
the King received the report of the Duke de Ragusa, alter our confer.
ence with him, he was informed that we had been all five arrested. Rut
I depose to these tacts merely upon hearsay, as I have no pi:rem:at
Iknowledge of them. Fur a more circumstantial account of the hies,
and of the words that paned between us and the Marshal, I refer to the
declarations which will be made by M. Laflue, who, having been the
speaker, can give a greater detail of our interview.

FRANCIS DI AUGUIN,
aged 46, Deputy of the Cote d'Or, residing in the Rue de Give

of July, 1 had the intention to go and take the waters, which the scan
of my health rendered then indiepenitable I had even ordered post.

dons, immediately after having given my vote. When I vend, 31.
Virasal was at the effice of the college. I informed him of my been
don of travelling, and of being back in Paris shortly after the open.og
of the Chambers. Ile said that I was wrong in leaving Paris, MS mi-
nisters were preparing a coup or eta ; he communicated to me the whore
plan of the ordinances, adding, that he held the information tioin a
friend who was generally well informed. Thie friend had fixed the 25th
or 26th as the period for the publication of the ordinance,. Notwith-
mending this advice, I persisted in my determination to depart; 1 re-
turned home, and, at about half.past 11, the horses having been put
to the carriage, I was preparing to set off, when two persons, upon
whose information 1 knew I could depend, arrived at my house.
and induced me to defer my departure, announcing to me, as
certain, that a coup d'etot was in preparation. The details they
gave me determined me upon remaining, and the horses were unbar-
nemed ; I retired to my country house, near St. Germain, where I re-
mained until Monday, the 26th of July. I was still there on the
evening of the same day, when, having hand by a person arrived from
Paris tnaetlie ordinances had been published in the 411oriileur of it at
morning, and that they had excited considerable excitement, I consi.
dered it as my duty to return immediately. I arrived at my house at
