PRIVArr AND _kUTIIF,NTIC CORRESPONDENt,E.

PAttis, Mattcn2B„—l have collected .soms... far-
iher rritlrentic facts relative Jo the affair of Au -
alet.ON, which I bitten to cominnaicate to :you
they completely bearoutall i apprized you
of, relative. to the spirit a I'arty%whit h animated
both the witnesses and the jump. The Prefect of the
Gard was extremely zealous in furthering the ends
of justice, and discovering the truth. Ile had
obtained, from two ivitneSses for the prosecution,
Very irtiportant revelations, and being called upon
to give evidence on the trial, in virtue of the discre-
tionary power of the President, be had the lie di-
rect most impudently given to him by these same
witnesses; one of whom is of the National
Guard at Nismcs, and the other one of the Of-
ficers of that corps- Thus, two men, bound by
the ties .of honour as GeOtlemen, their duty as
Citizens and as Christians, the homage they owed
to truth anti the sacred amine of an oath, as
well as their public duty as Of honoured
with the King's commission, to 'declare all they
knew before the Court, blushed not to per-
jure themselves, nod in a manner too apparent
to every one; thus sacrificing at once honour, duty,
truth, and virtue, on the altar of party spirit.—
I forget whether I stated to you that AuItILLON'S
brother was strongly suspected of being the in-
stigator of the crime. This individual occupied
the place of Receiver of the Department of the
Basses Alpes ; he was not ignorant of the rumours
circulated to his preindice, and -a few (lays after
the acquittal of AuatLLON he went to a person of
rank of the Department of the Gard., and endea-
voured to prove to him his innocence by different
arguments, to do away the suspicion which we4;ited
upon hint ; lie concluded by loin a letter
written by AURILLON to his sister (the Receiver's
wife). In this letter AURILLON says be is in the
deepest despair ; he speaks of his remorse,
and confesses that he has dishonoured his
family, &c., but in it he says nothing which
can either inculpate or completely justify his
brother-in-law. This complicity, therefore, of the
brother-in-law is not either proved or. disprov-
ed ; but as to AURILLON, we have his vet bat and
his written confession of his guilt ; lie was known
even to be guilty by those who procured his ac-
quittal, and who acquitted him ;Intr, say they,
"he has sufficiently. expiated his chute by his
featsof arms and his Royslism."—Ou these grounds
was the sacred fountain of justice polluted ;, but
the pollution extended not beyond the walls of
the Court. The public indignation is general,
and the Jury, in oheyiri,7 the orders gicen them,
have returned with the accusation of pet:jury on
their heads, which, with the public, contempt,
they will bear with them till the period, 4vhen they
themselves shall be judged inflexibly just and
terribly severe. Justice compels us .here to
remark, that the members of the Tribunal, although
they are ail Etageres, were disgusted and ashamed
at the acquittal of Au tteeoN. This flagrant in-
stance of audacious perjury has also opened the
eyes of the Ultras, in whom the spirit of Party
had not extinguished every sentiment of honour
and probity, and in whose eyes crime does not
cease to be crime, whatever way he the political
opinions of the criminal. One of the intrigues
employed by the defenders of AtritlLLoN was, to
announce that he would abjure the Protestant to
embrace the Roman Catholic religion. It appears
that this promise, which there is no appiarikrlCC of
being carried into effect, procured Au anLON the
support of several members of the Clergy. We
are sure there is not a Protestant in existence who
will not wish them joy in the acquisition of such
a convert ; but, indeed, conversions to that faith
are so rare, that even a parricide is mot to be de-
spised.

A cause is going- to be judged at Nismes, which
prepares for the Public a new subject of scandal :
One Rot., surnamed The Officer, during the trou-
bles of ISIS belonged to a band of assassins, who
committed every sort of execs" ; the fact was of
public notoriety ;- he was arrested, charged with
the murder of two women at Nisnies• was
tried at Valence, and was acquitted ; but there
being another charge of murder against..tu tu, lie
has been transferred to the prison of Nismes, and
will in a few days be judged by the Court of As-
sizes of that town. It may be an act of temerity
to anticipate the verdict of 'a jury, and a still
greater temerity to declare a belief that the .ver-

dict will be directly contrary to evidence. Time
is no doubt of the guilt of RoL, and there is
scarcely any as to hi 3 being acquitted, like Au-
IZILLON j the spirit of Patty will play the princi-
pal character in it, and already it attempts to pave
.
theway in the public opinion fur his acquittal. They
say he is such a good Royalist, and such an enemy

o BUONAVARTU, that it would be a pity he. should
).se his head on the scaffold, and that no (10111)1
