MARSHAL MARMOT (DUKE or Itaamt).

The following biographical acct 7)dannant, who has meow.
panied the F.i-King of France to this country, may not be uninterssting
to our readers:

Auguste Frederigne Louis Viesse de Mannont is one of the most re-
spectable by birth of Napoleon's Marshals. His family is noble, and
has for ages been distinguished for its military propensity. He war
born at Chatillon.sur-Seine, July 20, 1774. In his lbth year he en.
tered as Sub-Lieutenant in a regiment of infantry; but, convinced that
promotion would be more rapid in the artillery, be soon abandoned the
former service for the latter. At Toulon he attracted the notice of Bo-
naparte ; and when that gentleman was invested with the command of
the Army of the Interior, tlarmont hastened to Patio, and was ap-
pointed his Aide-de•Camp•
Throughout the campaigns of Italy, Egypt, and 'yak Marmon*
was at the side of Napoleon, and was one of the few seieMed to MRS
with him to France.
In the arduous passage of Mount St. Bernard, and in the Weird/int
Pt. Bard, blarmont greatly distinguished himeelL He cantmanded the
artillery at Marengo, and at the elm of the campaign become Genmal
of Division.

In the war, of 1805, 1808, and 1807, Marmont served with equal
honour ; and in the course of the German campaign of 1800 beobtdasi
a Marshal's truncheon, and the title of Duke of Itagwa. After this
he was ordered to replace Massena in the command of the army in
Portugal, but this was a situation above:his abilities. Soon after his
arrival in Spain, Marmot effected a junction with the army of
Soult (Duke of Dalmatia), and their combined forces marched to
relieve Badajox, then besieged by the Duke of Wellington. The
English General was not sufficiently strong to oppose them, and n-
otated towards Salamanca, our Marshal following him. For a time
they watched each other, :Weber being willing to strike the first blow;
but a blunder of Manama at length threw the initiative into the bands
of Wellington. He was at dinner in his tent, when information was
brought him that the French were extending their wing, probably
to outflank him. " Mannont's good genius has forsaken Lim I " said
Wellington, and instantly mounted his horse. The French could not
withstand the impetuous onset of our troops: they were driven from
their positions, sod the disorder of their flight was much Madded in
consequence of a wound which deprived them of Mennont's services
early in the action. At this great battle 7,000 penmen, 11 guns, and
two eagles, fell into the hands of the victors. Ole of the Imperial eagles
was sold by a Connaught regiment for a bottle of sum
The wound of Marmon was so severe (his arm was obliged at length
to be amputated) that he could not follow his Imperial Muter the asst
year into Russia. Marmont held a command afterwards at Lumen,
&omen, hod Leipsie, and subsequently defended, step by step, the
territory of France against the formidable masses of the Allies which
swept over it from the Rhine to the capital. Napoleon had charged
Marmoot and Moeda with the defence of Park Both Marshals re.
sided, however, until Joseph Bonaparte abandoned the capital, desiring
the Duke of Ragusa! to conclude a waren/ion • for its surrender, and to
make what terms he could. Accordingly be and Monier agreed to
evacuate the city. and save it from the horrors of a bombardment.
The Duke of Ragusa took post, after the capltnlation, at E.aonns,
with about 12,000 men. Here he received the decLsatitat of the Allies
and the decree of the Conservative Senate, prodaboing that Napoleon
no longer reigned. On his being requested by emu& Macdonald,
Caulaincourt, and Ney, who visited him at his bmillyZ:do sus.
pend the execution of his convention with the Al* be to go
to Paris for that object. After their departure, in eine *be Mis-
t ily assembled all those who had been privy, with Mimi& to
.62.2 e:
elation, and it was instantly resolved to fulfil the osoilldso sf
the troops within the enemy's lines. These Ibrave troops, v7.7.7a
the nature of the treacherous movement they were momsritd to make,
suspected that some flank attack on the Allies was meditated, and pro.
cee4W with their-usual valorous alacrity. Their rage at finding them.
selves thus betrayed by their General, and surrounded by the enormous
hosts of their enemies, was beyond expression: they seised their mus-
kets and broke them under their feet, vociferating the greatest meas•
tions against their traitorous General, who went over to the Allies.
By Louis XVIII. the Duke of Ragusa was made a Peer of France,
and Captain of the Garde-du.Corps. When Napoleon landed from
Elba he was denounced as a traitor for the part he acted In the drama
of the abdication. To 1817 the Duke of Ragusa was sent by Louis
XVIII. as King's Lieutenant, on an extraordinary mission to Lyons,
to quell an Insurrection that bed broken out in that city, and inGrenoble.
On the accession of Charles X. to the throne, Marmont became a
great favourite at Court, and was appointed Genaal.lo.Chief of the
Royal Guards. His conduct during the fatal days of the 27th, 48th,
and 29th July, against the inhabitants of Paris, will never be forgotten.
He accompanied his fallen master to Cherbourg, and is now in this
country.
The reputation of Marniont as a Generals; not of the first order. He
is universally execrated by the French army as well as by the people.:
• This convention was considered one of the most treacherous ads
that ever was committed by any French General.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Syr:. 22.

Al Wog M'Carthy was placed at the bear, on an indictment &seen
him with the wilful murder of Ellen M'Carthy, his wife.
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Anotonns stated the case to the Jury, after which be called the
following witnesses:—
Catherine Roebuck, (a little child, apparently in the last stage of
consumption,) deposed that the prisoner at the bar had been mar.
ried to her mother ; they lived in Park-street, Poplar; remembered
M'Carthy coming borne on the 11th of September—it was ca a Satur-
day evening; be did not appear sober. On arriving, be sat down,
and gave to the deceased. My mother said, "We are very
rich ; what am Ito do with this small trifle; we owe 3s. for
rent; what am I to do with the rest ?" The prisoner
in a gnat rage, and said, "Hive k to me, I know what to do willthesirtt.:l'
My mother replied, "Oh, no, I will sot; it does not belong to you,"
upon which he gave has violent blow on the temple with his double
lig. The deceased was standing at the time; our room is on the es.
rand floor; there are two kitchens under it. On receiving the blow,
the deceased went to the room occupied by the landlady ; my mother
had offered no violence towards the prisoner. Shortly afterwards he
heard my mother speaking, upon which be also went down stain ; I
beard my mother scream as soon as he got down. After staying down
stairs about a quarter of an hour, the prisoner came up stairs spin. My
mother came up first ; and shortly afterwards they both went out. They
did not go together ; the prisoner took his son with him. My mother
returned in about an hour; at about nine o'clock. Her temples impaired
very black, and she complained very much of her breast. Wben she
came in she began to get tea ready, and whilst so occupied my father
came in. No conversation piwW between them at the time. My
mother poured him out some tea as soon as be came. He said, " You
need not do that foe me ; Ido not want any." My mother re-
plied, "Then there is more for them who do." After which
some further altercation ensued. My mother said, she did not want
any thing more to do with him, as be was a drunken man sad a brute at
heart, upon which he said, " if you do not go out of the room I will
kick you out." She went out, and the prisoner immediately followed
her. My mother returned alone in about half an hour. The prisoner
did not come in until about ten o'clock on Sunday afternoon. No words
passed between them, but the little boy looking steadfastly at him, my
mother said, " come away, child, for he is no example for any one ;
any child follows his example it will bring him to the gallows ;" upon
which the prisoner jumped up and rushed towards her, but she escaped
from the room. He, however, went sites her, and almost immediately
afterwards I beard my mother seream several times. (The witness wee
here examined at considerable length upon matters not immediately
connected with the charge in question.) About four o'clock my father
locked himself up In the room, and I and my mother went down into
the kitchen.-.My mother died that night. My mother and the pri-
soner never saw each other after be had locked himself in the room.—
Between twelve and one I heard the prisoner say in the pump lading
to the kitchen, "If I could find her I would kill hei." I told my
mother what he said, after which she uttered a few words, groaned, and
died. My mother during the whole of Saturday and Sunday, was not
the least intoxicated, and never once lifted up her hands against the pd.
stoner. She died about three o'clock.

Catherine Rae, the pante who kept the house in which the prisoner
and the deceased lodged, deposed to the ruin facts stated by the former

Several other witnesses were then called, principally lodgers in the
same house with the prisoner, but no new fact of the least interest was
elicited.

- -lir:Natal; a surgeon, proved the nature of the injuries sustained by
the deceased. There were no external appearances to warrant the con.
elusion that the deceased came to a violent death. 9e did not attend
the post mortem examination of the body.
Mr. Marmaduke Tatham stated, that be was a member of the Royal
College of Surgeons. He examined the body of the deceased both ex.
tonally and internally. The intestines were in a state of great intim.
motion, as were also the adjacent parts. In his opinion. the mule of
death was owing to the inlionmation above mentioned. There could be
no doubt that this was ceased by some violent means. The inflamma.
trey appearances, the wham admitted, might have been occasioned by
r causes than external violence.

The prisoner in his defence said, that the origin of the unfortunate
quarrel was the disinclination his wife always manifested when he wished
to pe.y off his debts.
Several witnesses were called to character, who all described the psi.
,Doer as remarkable for his kindness and humanity.
ARer which the learned Judge having summed up, the Jury re.
turned a verdict of Manslaughter.

stealing, on the 9th August, a blue cost, of the value of 21. halts se.
vereign. and a mural, the property of Timothy blahony.

that be was a certificated &Keeney, and by ham him the

It appeared the defendant, by his mhrepresentedens of himself, con-
trived to Judie* the prosecutor to intrust him with the defence of an
action, for which he drew money from time to time, but without reeds&
big any service, as the prosecutor found shortly after by his beteg tam

Under these stances the Jury, by the= of the Cbalr►
man, acquitted the defendant.
He was again indicted for obtaining 10s. from William Scads; by
the same false pretence as charged in the previous indictment.
The prosecutor stated, that be first met the prisoner at a public.
house, when he introduced himself as a certificated , and gave
him a card containing the names of perties in rusnival's adding
that be belonged to that firm. Some time after, being engaged in a
law cause, he was induced to employ the defendant, and gave him
at Ms desire 10s. as the fee for obtaining a copy of the declaration.
He afterwards, to his surprise, received a notice by which be learnt
that the defendant had done nothlw, and that he was in danger of,
having judgmeot signed against him by default.
Mr. J. Rona, a licensed victualler, stated that the defendant was in
the habit of visiting his house, and describing himself as an attorney.
He was present when he described himself so to the prosecutor.

The CUAZIYAX sentenced him to be imprisoned for the space of six

to the place, and the fact having come to the knowledge of Mr. Raw.
Union, that magistrate had directed the present prosecution.
Charles Cooke, lately a police constable, deposed, that on the evening
of the 13th July he heard a noise at the house of the defendant, No. 8,

inspector detained the children, but disc her upon her promising
to appear at Mary.la-bonne police office the following morning. She did
