GEN. BOURMONT, MINISTER OF WAR

(From a Correspondent.)

Bourmont (Louis Victor Auguste de Ghaisne,
Comte de), born on the 2d of September, 1774,
was an officer in the French Guards, when, on,
the breaking out of the Revolution, he joined
the Prince de Conde, who intrusted him with
the secret mission of hastening the insurrection
of the western parts of France. On his return
to the Royalist army, M. de Bourmont served
during the campaign of 1793, and only left it to
join M. tie Scepcaux in the Vendee, who con-
ferred on him the grade of Major-General of his
army, and soon gave him the mission of coming
over to England to hasten the departure of the
supplies which the Royalists hoped to receive
from the British Government. This mission
was unsuccessful, and its only result for Count
Bourmont was his receiving the Order of St.
Louis from the hands of the Count d'Artois
(the present King), then residing at Holyrood-
house. On his return into the ranks of the Ven-
dean army, he fought against the Republican
army till peace was obtained, in 1796, through
the prudence and firmness of General Hoehe.—
Bourtnont then returned to England, where he
was busily employed in raising means to carry on

civil war in France. His appearance in the,
Maine, in 1799, where he commanded a divi-
sion of Chouans, was the prelude of hostilities.
It was then that, at the head of his troops, he
took possession of Mans, chief town of the de-
partment of the Sarthe, and abandoned it to the
most horrid pillage.* But these shameful and
easy successes were followed by numerous re-
verses, which brought on an armistice, soon fol-,
lowed by a definite pacification. M. de Bour-
mont made his peace with the French Republic,
and soon endeavoured to conciliate the good
graces of the First Consul (Buonaparte). This,
however, did not prevent his arrest in 1803,f
by order of Fondle, and his successive im-
prisonment in the Temple, and in the fortresses
of Dijon and Besancon. He was fortunate
enough to escape from the latter in 1805, and
to go into Portugal, where he still was when
that kingdom was occupied by the army of
Junot. Included in the capitulation of Cintra,
notwithstanding the very peculiar nature of his
situation, which seemed to exclude him from the
benefits of it, he returned into France with the
army, and devoted himself with apparent since-
rity to the Imperial Government. Napoleon ap-
pointed him Adjutant-Commandant in the army
of Naples, and soon afterwards General of Bri-
gade. It was in that capacity that he served
during the campaigns of 1813 and 1814, during
which he deserved, by his devotedness and bra-
very, the grade of General of Division.
On the restoration of the Bourbons, Count de
Bourmont was, naturally enough, among the
foremost of those who eagerly offered their' ser-
vices to the Royal Family. Louis XVIII': ap-
pointed him to the command of the 6th Military
Division at Besangon, where he was present in
1815, after the return of Buonaparte from Elba,
and, to a degree, sanctioned by his presence the
proclamation which was the immediate cause of
the condemnation to death of Marshal Ney.
Count Bourmont solicited Napoleon to serve
in his army, and 'obtained the command of the
2d division of the corps darmce of General
Girard. On the eve of the battle of Waterloo
he abandoned his division, and went to Ghent.t
It is difficult to justify such a proceeding on any
principle held sacred among men of . honour.—
However, M. de Bourmont obtained in 1815
the command of one of the divisions of the
Royal Guards.
It was natural that, on the breaking out of the
war with Spain, such a man should be actively
employed ; it was so, and he was appointed to
the command of the infantry of reserve ; and after
some successes in that short campaign he was
then named Governor of Cadiz and of Andalusia.
The title of Peer of France was conferred on
him the 9th of October, 1823, with a dispensa-
tion to institute the majorat attached by law to
that title_ After the return to France of the
Duke of Angouleme, the command in chief of
the Army of Occupation in Spain was conferred
on General Bourmont, who kept it till 1824.
Such is the man who has just been appointed

* 1800.—" The successes of these brave chiefs "

(La Roche Jaquelin, Lesme d'Elve, Chairette,
Stoifiet), says the Abbe Montgaillard, in. his '
tory of France,' " could only organize unconnected
and undisciplined bands, which acted in the manner
of smugglers, and attacked travellers and detached
houses. To form an idea of the very small degree
of real consistence which the Royalist forces of the
west presented, it will suffice to refer to Bourmont's
expedition in November, 1799. That Chouan
Chief wished to obtain possession of Bourg de
Belle, near the valley of Sable. But this paltry
place, open on all sides, defended solely by the in-
habitants, and some of the neighbouring country
people, who had taken refuge in it, and whose
number altogether did not exceed 200 men, held
out against the Chouans, who failed to take it,
though they were provided with two pieces of ar-
tillery, which they had purchased from an officer
who commanded a republican column. To com-
pensate for this check, the Chouans marched against
Mans, which they entered without striking a blow,
owing to the inexperience of the magistrates and
the military chiefs, but more particularly to the
secret correspondence which Bourmont had con-
trived to carry on with persons in the town. That
General, who had never commanded a division in
the royal army, entered Mans with about '2,000
men." The following details respecting this conquest
are given in an esteemed biographical work,—details
which, as we know, remain still uncontradicted :
" It is impossible," observes an eye-witness, " to
compare the conduct of these troops in this unfor-

tunate town otherwise than to the atrocities of
Gliengis Khan's Tartars. The public prisons were
thrown open, and the malefactors under sentence of
death were set at liberty. All the cash depositories
of public offices and of many private establishments
were plundered. The amount of the pillage in
money and other property was estimated at 953,000
francs. The post-office was ransacked. The public
registers and other documents connected with the
administration of the town were burned ; but an ir-
reparable loss was the destruction of 60 volumes in
folio, containing the history of Mans since 1481.
This valuable record, which had been carefully pre-
served in the Hotel de Ville, was committed to the
flames along with more than one hundred civic
registers. But what never can be recollected with-
out the deepest feeling of horror, is the fact that the
wounded men of the 40th demi-brigade were mas-
sacred in their beds." Bourmont and his Chouans
evacuated Mans in s;.xty hours.
-I- This was the time of the machine blfernale, al-
ternately ascribed to the Jacobins and the Royalists.
It is said, that on the evening of that day, Bour-
mont forced his way into the box, at the theatre,
where Napoleon was, and that he attempted to
press upon him the belief that the machine iVernalc
was the work of the Jacobins. That conduct,
coupled with other suspicions, was the cause of his
arrest and imprisonment.
" The effects of Buonaparte's sudden attacks
were inconsiderable," says the Abbe de Montgail-
lard, "on account of the information which was

given the day before the battle to the Prussians by
a deserter, General Bourmont, Chief of the Staff
of the 4th corps. General Gerard pledges his honour
for the fidelity of Bourmont, whose promise he had
received, but the latter went over to the enemy, and
disclosed the plan of the campaign.
" It would be wrong," adds the same historian,
" to do General Bourmont the honour of attributing
the catastrophe of the battle of Waterloo to him.
The details which he had it in his power to give to
the enemy respecting the military operations pro-
jected by Napoleon, and communications made on
that subject to the Prussian and English Generals,
were but of secondary importance."
" On the evening of the 14th General Bourmont,
Colonels Clouet and Villoutreys, and two other
officers, deserted to the enemy. Napoleon imme-
diately ordered such changes in his plan of attack as
' this treason rendered necessary, and without delay
marched forward."--illemoira de Fleury de Cha-
broulon.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

NANSION-1-10USE.

Saturday a very well-dressed female, of rather
vulgar appearance, applied to the LORD MAYOR fo
advice in what manner to act, under circumstance
which were detailed by her solicitor, Mr. Hobler
jun., and which caused no ordinary degree of sur-
prise and merriment in the Justice-room.
The lady was, it appeared, lately married to a
venerable member of the Corporation of London,
who had, two (lays after his marriage, attained the
75th year of his age. He was not in a very
vi-
gourous state of health, and the attentions of one
• of the other sex had become actually necessary.
• Those attentions were tendered in a manner the
most agreeable to the old gentleman, who was
the more sensible of them, as he had been mar-
ried many years before. His family, however, had
'thought proper to interfere between man and wife,
and were endeavouring to separate them, notwith-
standing all the obligations which the old gentle-
man
was under to the complainant. The pretence
upon which the family interfered was, that the old
gentleman was so infirm as not to be able to decide
for himself in any matter of moment; that his wife
wished to take advantage of his weakness to enrich
herself to the prejudice of his children, and that she
was incapable, from the situation in life which she
had previously filled, of acting with that constancy
and devotedness which elderly gentlemen usually
expected.—(Laughter.)—lt was rather melancholy
to find, that persons in the condition of life to
which allusion had been made, were subject to in-
sinuations of so gross a nature, but certain it is that
the moment a man married a servant-maid, the
world said, " Well, he'll find it out by and by. He
has made his own bed for himself." But what was
the thing really apprehended here ? Not incon-
stancy ; but the natural result of that powerful
affection which seldom failed to produce, even be-
tween persons of very dissimilar ages, some pledge
of mutual fondness.--(Loud laughter.)—The lady
who applied to the Lord Mayor felt convinced that
his Lordship would not countenance any attempt to
separate man and wife, but would endeavour to
prevent the hostile operation of any inferior bend of
relationship.
The LORD MAYoR said that the subject was one
with which he really did not wish to interfere. He
never yet found that cases of a matrimonial nature

were at all served by the presence of e Magistrate.
The partied Would be well employed in accorottio.
dating the matter, Without aposing it to the public.
Mr. nobler, jun., said he had suggested that
in
superable
obstacles. but. it appeared that there were
obstacles. He should, however, try once more to
reconcile the conflicting parties. All his client
wanted was her husband, to whom she had been
attached for a length of time before she married him,
and the old gentleman was in a state of torture, it
was said, at her absence.

The lady then retired, and soon afterwards the
son of the old gentleman entered the justice-room,
.and requested that his Lordship would be kind
enough to bear the other side of the question.
• The LORD MAYOR--Oh, certainly, I shall hear
you. The first part is too good not to encourage
my attention to the second.
The son said, he understood that hia mother-in-
law had charged him with having had sinister 'dews
in wishing to remove his father from her care, or
rather from her tyranny. The very reverse was the

fact ; he was convinced that his father could live
with her no longer; and the circumstances under
'which she had prevailed upon, or rather forced
him to marry her, were such as fully proved what
sort of person she was.

The LORD MAYOR said that no mention of unfair
means had been at all made. He believed there
must be great exaggeration on both sides; but if it
gave them satisfaction to make known the particulars
of their sufferings to the public, they might indulge
themselves if they pleased.
The son of the old gentleman proceeded. His
mother-in-law had, as is well known, been chamber-
maid to his father for some time, and used to warm
his bed every night with a pan of coals. It hap-
pened that on one night not one of the family but
the old gentleman was at home, and he felt very
chilly. The girl went down stairs for the pan, but
no pan was to be seen. The old man, however, got
into bed; and what did the girl do but fling off her
clothes and go into bed to him, by way of a warm-
ing-pan.—(Loud laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—What ! without being in-
vited ? The son said that she had taken the oppor-
tunity when nobody was at home to play this trick.
She pretended that she could get no pan, and then
the moment she got him in a comfortable state of
warmth, she seized him by his grey hairs, threatened
she would swear a rape against him—(immense
tughter)—and made him promise to marry her.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, and what did she do
then ? The son said, that having obtained this
promise, she said she was content with her " ruina-
don," arid she fell asleep.—(Laughter.)—The object
of the family was to preserve the old gentleman
from cruelty and insult; and although they were not
afraid of the interference of any future son of his
as to their own hereditary claims, they were not quite
sure but the lady's industry might produce something
to give them vexation in that way.—(Laughter.)

The LORD MAYOR said, that the more he heard
of this case, the more difficulties presented them-
sely► s. To interfere between man and wife was

long considered not only unlucky but accursed. He
was glad to be releasad from the hazard by the dif-
ficulties with which the case was encumbered; and
he was convinced, that if the advice of Mr. Hobler,

jun., to settle the business over a bottle of wine or a
tumbler of punch had been adopted, there would
have been an end to all the ill-feeling and recrimi-
nations which had followed.

Mr. Wooller, for the prisoner, dwelt strongly
upon the facts, that the prosecutrix had not men-
tioned the alleged violence to any one till the Thurs-
day, and that the mother had proposed to let the
prisoner go unpunished, if he would marry her
daughter: •
Mr. Etico.youpox said, the prosecutrix saccounfed
for her concealment of the assault by saying that her
mother's hasty temper made her unwilling to com-
municate it to her. The mother's conduct, in
making the proposition spoken of, was most improper,
as he had before told her; and so also said her own
morried daughter, Mrs. Ilopkins: but that did not
affect the prosecutrix, if it had been done without
her consent.
Miss Louisa, the prosecutrix, was now questioned
by the magistrate, and stated, that her mother had
never consulted her as to the proposed marriage with
the prisoner, whom she had never felt, and did not
NOW feel, any inclination to marry. .

The discrepancy between the certificate and viva
voce evidence of Mr. King induced the magistrate
to take the evidence of another surgeon; Mr.
Adams, who was sent for to the office, and examined
the person-of the young lady. That gentleman stated
there was no trace of violence on her person.
Mr. Wooler produced a plan of the streets and
fields whsre- the violation was alleged to have been
committed AO after some observations upon the
more vulnerable parts of the case for. the prosecu-
tion, proceeded to call witnesses for the prisoner.
At the former examination the prisoner, who de•
nied having had any connection ;pith the prosecutrix,
stated that at the place she spoke of there was a
watchman close behind them, who must have heard
any noise or outcry.
Thomas Francis, 4 private watchman, stationed
at the spot in question, being sworn, stated that be
remembered the night of July 28, a little before ten
o'clock, seeing the prisoner in company with a young
lady, whom he identified as the prosecutrix. He
knew the prisoner well by sight, and had also fre-
quently seen the female, sometimts walking with
other young men. They passed him, and he heard
her say, " Don't he rude," or something, to that
effect ; and he (the watchman) observed, " No,
don't, that would be a pity." They went into the
field, and he remained a considerable time at the
same place, but did not hear her scream. she was
then dressed much the same as she was now,. in
mourning.
The prosecutrit declared that he had spoken
falsely, and did not see her at all.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you pass by any watch-
man while you were with the prisoner ? Prosecu-
trix—No, Sir, I did not. She then desired that he
should describe her bonnet.
The watchman said the bonnet she wore that
night was without trimming. (The bonnet she
now wore was fully trimmed.)
The prosecutrix said she had no other bonnet
than the one she now wore.
The watchman swore unhesitatingly that her
bonnet was as he described.
Mr. Bowen, of Hoxton-square, surgeon, stated
that the day after the report of the first examina-
tion appeared in the Times, he called at the mo-
ther's house to see Mrs. Hopkins, the married sister,
whom he attended. He had some conversation
with the mother on the subject, and afterwards
with the prosecutrix herself, who told him that she
-should like to marry the prisoner, for she loud him
better than any other man in existence.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Are you certain that was
what she said ?
Mr. Bowen—Yes ; she said she would rather
marry him than have him hanged.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Rather than have him hanged?
That is a very different thing. Then there had
previously been some conversation between you
about the capital charge against the prisoner.
The witness said there had not. The young
lady came into the room and sat at the window
and as he sat by her he said, " Well, how are you ?
you look pretty well. You would like to marry
him; would not you ? You love him, don't you ?"
To which she answered " Yes."

Mrs. Hopkins being sworn, stated, that on the
Tuesday night in question her sister Louisa came
home while she and her husband were at supper,
She seemed agitated, and in a state of trepidation,
and Mr. Hopkins said, " Louisa, what is the mat-
ter'?" She replied that she was very ill, and
would go to bed; and she immediately retired to
bed without taking any supper. She had then the
same bonnet on that she now wore, and had no
other bonnet.

After some further procee.iing and conversation
between the Magistrates and Mr. Wooler, the pri-
soner was remanded.

Mrs. Hopkins applied t• the Magistrate presently
afterwards, and pointed out an individual who, she
said, had been insulting her, both by words and
gestures, during the examination.
The person so pointed out denied auy intention of

insulting her.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Let me hear no more of it,
Sir. Witnesses, and particularly defenceless fe-
males, must have the protection of the Court while
under examination. There is, I know not why, a
strong feeling against these young ladies, which I
am very sorry to have observed. I cannot account
for it; but it is not very creditable or manly to-
wards two young females, who are left neatly
orphans.—The several parties then left the office.
