rations for England ; his effects will he embarked
for that country immediately. his ExcAlency

month, and immediately proceed to his appointed

Was yesterday
M. Scion, Captain of Engineers,
inhumanly assassinated by his servant, a young
man aged seventeen. His master had him in cus-
tody for a theft ; on arriving at the door of the
Police Office, the miscreant drew a pistol from his
breast, shot him dead on the spot, and instantly
absconded. He was taken almost immediately,
and on being confronted with his murdered vic-

Copy of a Letter addressed to M. BELLAar, Procureur.

General in the Cour Royale of Paris, by Nine Deputies.,

LE PAOCUREVR-GENERAL—We have learnt that inter-
rogatories have been commenced against several Citizens,
who have, with us, signed a prospectus of a subscription for
the relief of persons who may be detained in custody by
virtue of the law of the 2Gth March, or of their families.—
Convinced that there is no offence in an act of humanity,
which, so far from exciting to disobedience of the law,
presupposes, on the contrary, its execution ; we are also
satisfied, that if you are of a different opinion, you can-
not, without prevaricat iudy, neglect the forms prescribed
by the Charter for demanding of the Chamber (who will
decide upon the demand) authority for including us in
the cause. This prevaricatinn would be evident, since if there
were no offence, you would he prosecuting innocent persons,
and if there were an offence, it would be inadmissible for you
to arrogate to yourself the right of waiving the forms pre-
scribed try our Constitutional Act. in order, partially, to pro-
secute the offence. We have thought it our ditty, M. le Pro-
eureur Generro, to address this paper to you, in order that it
may be employed as of right by the citizens whom you pros-
cute. We request you to address your answer to one of us,
and we hare the honour of saluting you.
