Tllt AL OP GKNUTO.t, CIROLICHY CO:TUMACE.
rmos, Oc'. 2U.--Yesterday, this trial came on
before a Coart.tn4rtiat, of which Count Bartle
Sonic was ?resident.

Tbc docutoents read consisted of the famous
report ofatle.by the accused, to Iluonaparte on the
I.lth of April, 1815, of the telegraphic dispatches,
anti the depositions of a nOmber of witnesses tit
Marseilles, Lyons, etc.
The most interesting deposition,. however, was
that of the Raton de 1141110§, takeaby commission
at .111arseillq, the Baron,being Governor of the
.Bth military, ttivision,- Of tat... shicument • the
following are extracts :.--" It was not enough
for General Grouchy to falsify his oaths, he
broke a convention concluded with Gen. Gilly, and
which ought to have been the More sacred to him,
as, by virtue of that convention, the few faithful
subjeets who had not quitted the Duke d'Angon7
leme were set at liberty, and that ltis Royal High.
ness, having left Cette, was then at St. Esprit, in
the midst of the rebel army. General Grouchy
conga have caused the Duke to be shot, had he
received orders to that effeet, but I must say,llvat
he did not conceal from himself his own degrad-
ing conduct--that he was in agony about it'. The
following facts will prove that .he did nat betray
his duty but from weakness and self.interest, When
his Royal Highness came to St. Esprit, General.
Grouchy requested me: to come to his house, arid
t here declared to rnc that he could not ratify the COII-
- concluded With Gen. Oily; because, odd
he, the latter had not the necessary Bowers.--
.Grouchy added, that his head answered fit' bis
obedience to the orders which he hod received, and
that lie must wait for new ones. In consequence,
hiviloy4l Highness was.detained and guarded in
sentinels were even placed on the -roofs
'Nfonseignetir believed that the order for his death
was already issued, and he charged rue to aseer-
twit the fact. I %Cato! nit Odneral Grouchy.
tiearcelv !td I,trild him my mission, when he e-s-
-clal:ucd in despair, " What, shall my name he
coapled 'tills stichst crime !"
" 1 asked hitn,how, since lie appeared sodis-
p.o.olll,44sted. accepted Inch a mission 3 lie re-
plied, that he had twice rellised it, hot the thitd
time he was afraid of his head. 1 have only, said
he, 20,000 fr.• of i.r!,iine, and a large family !--
(34neral Grouchy tore his hair; he grasped my
hand, and told ine tsar Witt received formal, orders
to act thus ; that 'other;vi!te he should be disho7
!idling), I remarked to him that he would,,how.
evjer, cause its to be shot if he received orders to
that effect. Why, he exclaimed, has not Mon-
etigneor fled I , Why does he not yet tly I told
hint that his 'loyal Highness wit* not fly On the
Stit, because he could only escape alone anal he
bad declared to in, that so long as one faithful
subject remained by him., he would not abandoq
that one without having; secured his fate.
" At last he 11E41108M to Inform me of the
sr-
ders he should receive, and that if the 'order of
death was proatmuced, he engaged to piocure the
escape of Monseigneur and rny‘own."
Another doeumeut reati*aaa letter written by
Grouchy, from. 4arseilles, tn'titiother General,in
which tie complains of the'had spirit of that city.
'I There la no tri•coloured flag," says he, " but
at the town-house, , rung that bt 'the Prefect ;
the. city-guard has not even' resumed the national
cockade,"
After the reading of theseiloemnenti, a young
man, son of GeneralOrrinchy; in the unifortrtOf

VIENNA, Oct. 10,--The Envoy of the Dry of
Tunis on the 7th of September had the honour
of offering to the Grand Vizier in solemn awlienee
the presents for the Sultan, among which were
rein:irked several beautiful slaves, who were im-
mediately embarked for the Sumt»er residence of
his Highness at ilirsolliktali. The other presents,
which were exposed to public view, consisted in
heautiful „tArablan stallions richly :harnessed,
ostriches, ; but what seemed to fix the
4ttention of the populace was a huge red damask
cloth fitiely embroidered.

They speak of an insurrection of the Janissaries
at Adrianople, in which the Aga and °glint Dap
tleviren, bostangi-bdselti, were cut to pieces : but
this news wants confirmation, as no measure 14

Some effects have been seized at the house of one
of these, which are. thought to have been take►►

found, in which were some letters to the Chevalier
Lyster, who as is well known was very ill treated
by the robbers. They hope to discover the chiefs
