of the kingdom. A complaint of the Spanish Charge

PARIS, MARCH S.
M. Jacquinot de Pampelune pleaded yesterday be-
fore the First Chamber of the Tribunal of the First
Instance, with closed doors, on the affair of the tes-
tament of Bonaparte. He laid it down as a fact, that
Bonapaite was civilly dead since 1815 ; that, in con-
sequence, the will which he might have made was
invalid, and therefore Messrs. Bertrand, Montholon,
and Marchand, acting as testamentary executors
against M. Lafitte, ought to be declared non recroa-
bles in their application.
The Journal de Paris says, the King's Attorney
insisted that the action could not be sustained, .be-
cause the Ordonnance of the 6th of March, 1815, had
given commands to pursue (courir susa) Bonaparte,
whence it resulted that be was struck with civil death,
and consequently incapable of making a will.
