'l'N ATE AND AUTITENTIC CORRESPONDENCE.

s'Aars, Mancut 25.—Messieurs ComTa and
" those staunch and intrepid cliam-
P'ons2f. Reform," have had an action brought
t them,
which will be tried before the
CeiV of Rennes. These pamphleteers, on re-
ing the intelligence that an aneien VenWen,
accused
bee
of having fired a pistol at a person, had
lacqnitted by the Tribunal of Vitr6, have
t__l"" the liberty to print and publish, that the
iv;veleoreur du Roi, M. BECITU, displayed a most
i
„eve3:..tenderness for the Vendeans, and that he
lost ao opportunity of getting them acquit-

content, and the Ultras neglected no species of
intrigue to get him absolved. They treated hint
as a rascal and a monster, at the same time that
they said -a Royalist must not be abandoned, as if
the usurped title of Royalist could wash away
the crime of parricide.
This trial was made a party affair. Atrart.L.ol4
himself confesses that he was only 'one with Ge-
neral CANUEL and Count CHABROL. We IitIOW the
private- virtues of the latter, and are sure that
such a confraternity could not be to his taste -;
but into what extremes will not political zeal lead.
even unsuspecting virtue, blind to the nktnre and
consequences of its own conduct ? We may re-
mark by the way, that AURILLON had the same
counsel appointed 14m who defended and procured
the acquittal of the assassin of General LEGARDE,
at Nimes ; we recollect with what indignation
that decision of the Jury was received. Ill'hilethe
Jury were deliberating, AURILLON pretended 'not
to deny his guilt, but said to all around him, ,that
if found guilty, he would not appeal against the
sentence, and would demand to be executed it»tne-

diately ; and he was so convinced that he would
perish, that he fainted on learning that he was
acquitted, but though acquitted he was not libe-
rated, as there are several charges of forgery
against him, and these will he, we may venture
to predict, divindle.d. away to doubtful cases,
and his punishment, if any, will he vet y slight, at
any rate not sufficient to disqualify him from
being a good Ultra, and the intimate friend'of
CANUEL ; but were I to attempt to recount all the
hauls faits of the Ultras, I should daily fill every
column of your Paper. I cannot, however, re-
frain giving you another trait of the family pdr-
trait of the Ultras, which, like the spirits in Mac-
beth, present only a variety of deformity. •
The Count de MARCELLUS, Member of• the
Chamber of Deputies_ and of the Committee
charged with the examination of the Organic Law
of the Concordat, ‘yrote secretly to the Pope to
inform him of what passed in the Committee, and
stiliciting the aid of his wisdom and advice. His
Holiness deigned to answer his letter, and ap-
prized him that-he would never consent that the
Civil Power should interfere in Ecclesiastical

Afh-tirs, that the Concordat ‘ras not susceptible
ut any modification whatever, and that he hoped
M. MAacELLus would exert all his influence

to get the Organic Articles rejected. This letter
has got abroad, and copies of it arc read in the

higher political circles, where each comments on

it in his own way, hut few indeed attempt to jus-
tify it. What right, it is asked, has a Deputy to
address a foreign Sovereign in order to get the
discussions of the Cha►nber modified to suit his
purpose ? Is it the conduct of a man of honour,

or that of a traitor to his country ? It is asked,
if AI. MARCELLUS wishes to brim; back those

times when the Popes released subjects from the
oath of fidelity to their Sovereign, and opposed con-

sciene o the lams of the State ? The organic articles
,are founded on the liberties of the Galiiean Church,
those liberties which have been so clearly defined,
and so vigorously defended by the best French

writers, and which the Parliaments would neve

suffer to be touched in the least poinis ; they 'can-
not be abrogated by the Concordat, they are yet
in full force and vigour, and NI. MARCELL4: in
seeking to attack them, has shewn himself an

wrlrtliy Citizen, and a perfidious Senator.

PF.VIVAL OF TnAnt.--,The Birmingluiliti7e6m-
mercial Herald says—" That a veil, considerable
alteration for the better has taken place through-
out our cummetcial relations must be• obvious to
every one; and the following important fact is
the fullest proof of the correctness of the asser-
tion, viz.: that the Overseers of this. town
have been enabled to find sufficient funds for the
poor, for the last six, weeks, without calling for a
new levy, the arrears having been in a.greatinea- -
sure paid up." , • ...
