TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE.

PARIS, NOVEMBER 14.

TRIAL OF M. B. CONSTANT,
FOR HIS LETTER TO THR PROCURZUR-OENRRAL,
MANGIN.

On this cause being called on towards noon. an
expression of interest and satisfaction was displayed
by the audience.
M. B. Constant appeared in person, and read the
conclusions which he wished the Court to adopt, and
the object of which was, that in consequence of his
character of Deputy, and the writing complained of
growing out of what he had done in that character,
the Court should declare itself incompetent. He then
supported his conclusions in a long speech, of which
the following is an abridgment:
" If I consulted only my personal interest, I should
most readily renounce all my efforts to escape your
jurisdiction. I was an accuser before being accused,
and I only appear here from an obscurity in the law,
which has, as far as I am concerned, the effect of de-
nying me justice ; and France will learn from my
presence here.that a citizen—a Deputy—that several
Deputies—are not under the protection of the law,
when defamed, but fall under its sword when they
defend themselves from defamation. The important
question is, can a Deputy, during the interval of the
Sessions, be brought before a Tribunal for opinions
delivered by him from the Tribune? I am not the
first Deputy who has been denounced, nor the first
who has been injured; but I am the first who has
been brought to this bar for not having been insen-
sible to infamous denunciations. repeated and spread
through the whole of France; and only calculated to
make me regarded as the cowardly and perfidious
instigator of plots, as the infamous prosecutor of
crimes, of which I saw without pity, the unhappy in-
struments perish on the scaffold. There is no prece-
dent therefore to guide you ; and in repulsing a usur-
pation of power, you will merit public gratitude, and
render a service to the Monarchy henceforward inse-
parable from the representative system.
" I must shew you that the inculpations which
gave occasion to the answer complained of, were the
direct result of opinions delivered by me in the Tri-
bune. Do not be astonished at the novelty of the
subject. The recent establishment of the Constitu-
tional Government, the little experience we have of
the rights it confers, and the duties it imposes, may
give importance to assertions which there is no time
to examine. But my demonstration shall be certain,
and leave you no doubt of your incompetence!'
The eloquent Deputy then pointed out several pas-
sages in the speech of the Procurenr-General, Man-
gin, which referred to what he had said as a Deputy ;
and concluded that what he had written in reply to
inculpations of this speech was not within the compe-
tence of the Tribunal. He concluded thus :
I am not afflicted for myself ; my life replies to
the invectives of my enemies. As a man, nobody can
reproach me ; as an author, I have defended what I
thought valuable, and have contributed to save two
heads from the block ; as a legislator, I have always
voted according to my conscience. But I am afflicted
for France, for that beautiful France which is de-
graded in the eyes of foreigners by the degradation,
of the individuals chosen as the organs of the pub-
lic sentiments."
After hearing the Avocat du Roi, the Court decided
that it was competent, and ordered the trial to pro-
ceed.—At five o'clock the Court adjourned farther
proceedings till next day : M. Constant is to defend
himself. He was accompanied to the coach by a
great crowd of persons.
NOVEMBER 15.

At one o'clock, M. B. Constant began his defence.
the Court was even more crowded than yesterday.
His first speech and his reply to the observations ofl
the Avocat du Roi completely fill the French Journals.
We can only give a mere outline:
" The first thing of which I am reproached by the
Avoca dss Roi is, not having brought the matter to
trial, in plat" of writing what he calls a defamatory
libel. But it was necessary, both for the Deputies
inculpated and for public tranquillity, that the impu-
tations of M. M*ngia should be promptly disproved.
