FOREIGN INTELLIOENCE.

TRIAL OF THR RIC-MINISTERS.-FIFTH DAT-
COURT OF PERM, SUIDAT, Dm 19.

As this important trial is to be conducted without any adjournment.
the Court punned its business through the Sabbath-day. At ten
o'clock the President and Peers took their maul, and the prisoners were
introduced.
DEFENCE OF COUNT PETRONNET.

The Count read his own defence in the most impressive manner.—
He commenced by an affecting appeal to the justice and generosity of
his judges to hear him with patience, and make a proper consideration
for the circumstances of his eventful and unfortunate life. In allusion
to the kind remembrance yesterday, by M..de Martignac, of their early 1
friendship be expressed his warmest gratitude; political differences,
it was true, had long separated them, but his fellow.:itlwen, now in the
hour of his adversity, showed, like a man of Amour, that he still re•
malned his friend. (Here M. de Martignac wept.) With reference to his
own principles, his life was before the world : to Napoleon he had never
yielded his principles, and was fortunate enough in his own province
on one occasion to have saved 13 soldiers, who had been tried by a
council of war, and at other times to have saved different political
offenders. At the restoration he never courted the Bourbons, but had
remained tranquilly pursuing his professional business In the mouth.—
His first entrance into public life was as deputy for Bordeaux,—an ha
nour unsought by him, but kindly conferred upon him by his fellow.
citizens. As a magistrate, he believed it would be aid in his depart-
ment, even by his political enemies, that he had ever implicitly regarded
the principles of justice and the rights of humanity. In political life,
he knee, he had made enemies ; but he could say, like the British mi.
nister Sunderland, that he had filled high office without ever having
done any thing for himself. His bitterest opponents could not impute
selfish motives to his acts throughout the whole of his gamin's.
tration, or that he had ever compromised his principles. He then
to enumerate the various public measures which had
Ertm, passed in his time, and the moderation which he had
always shown during the agitation of projects that had led to
great excitement among others ; for instance, the law upon sacrilege ;
and other acts of that mixed religious and political character. It was
well known in the south of France, that, upon many occasions, he had
by his own efforts saved a number of persons who, were it not for that
interference, would have lost both liberty and life. In reflecting upon
these events he could name at least 230 persons who were thus relieved;
so that if his lot were to be ransomed from the enemy, the task of re.
demption would not be difficult, for his ransom had been already paid.
As to his private fortune, the best proof he could give that that had
never been increased while in power, was, that when he had fallen from
political station, there was only 400 francs difference between his in-
come and what he had derived by inheritance in the year 18112.
He then most solemnly denied that he had ever despatched a telegraphic
order to execute the prisoners from Martinique ; in point of fact, the
jurisdiction of the tribunal which tried them was not, in any part of its
proceedings, under his control, and this was easy of proof. With refer-
' enee to the ordinances, and the coup d'etai, all he could say was, that
he had used all his efforts to reconcile conflicting passions, and it he had
not succeeded, it was his misfortune rather than his fault. The secrets
of the council be could not disclose, even to RIM himself from being the
victim of misrepresentation and misapprehension, and he solemnly de-
clared that nothing was farther from his intention than to invade the
rights of the people, and the imputation against him of having conspired
against their liberties was utterly destitute of foundation. He was grate-
ful for the attention with which they had heard his disclaimer of charges
so grave : his public life was clowd,—his fortune ruined ; to friends or
sought
to foes be could now only offer his tean--(lure he wept with great emo.
tion)--and these he freely poured for those who his life, as well
as for those who honoured with sympathy the condition of a fallen man,
whom circumstances, over which ballad no control, had prostrated.
This defence of Count Peyronnet was unmarked by any striking
fea totes ; it was an appeal to the humanity of his judges, and • demand
up on them merely to confide in his own assertions of the purity of his
intentions.

M. Hennequln rose at 13 o'clock, es counsel for Count Peyronnet,
to spatk further in his defence. He commenced by stating, that it was
to Count Peyroanet the public were mainly indebted for those acts of
th late Administration which had regulated the improvement of the
pa lic edifices, and afforded general convenience to the nation. He
then entered into a long legal argument to explain what was the real im.
pott of the articles of the charter of 1814, which had, he said, a sulk.
rug analogy in their modifications to the popular branches of the Bd.
dab constitution, but could not, from the nature of the mixed opinions
and institutions of France, after so many revolutions, be acted upon
with the same steadiness and precision. Against the accusation that
Count Peyroanet meant to upset the Institutions of his country,
he had certainly to oppose the acts of his whole life, which had
been devoted to their perfection and preservation. He then went over
nearly the same ground as M. Ilartignac did yesterday, in showing
' from► the example of England, that extreme rigour did not follow from
changes of dynasties or governments, but that on such occasions poll.
deal enemies were always generous, and did not tarnish their triumphs
by the spilling of each other's blood when the beat of the battle wee
over. So it was in England in the year 1888, and so it ought to be in
France in 1830. As to the conduct of Count Peyronnet in the Council
of Charles X. could he lift up the curtain winch veiled it, his fellow.
countrymen would sae that it was marked by moderation and liberal
feeling, and that no man felt more anxiety than be had done during the
three memorable days to obtain a usual= of hostilities, a revocation of
the ordinances, and his own removal from the Ministry.
M. Sanaa, counsel for hi. Chantelause, followed. At half-past
4 o'clock the sitting was adjourned till tomorrow (Monday.)

SIXTH DAY.
COURT OF PEERS. Dic. 10.
DEFENCE OF AL DE CHANTELAUZE.

M. Sauget this day resumed the defence of M. de Chantelause. The
prisoners were conducted to the bar at half-past 10 o'clock. Prince
Polignac appeared weak and dejected. Count Peyronnet was reading
• newspaper with apparent attention.
Al. Sauset began his discourse by discussing the legality of a asp
d'atat under the old charter, providing the government felt the king
under the necessity of making one for the maintenance of his throne.
He denied with a good deal of force that the ordinances had caused
I the revolution of July,—three days had indeed accomplished it; but
lb years had been employed in preparing it. The links between the
throne and the people had been gradually but irreparably broken,
and the un e:-minister wheat he defended was innocent of the
catastrophe, al he had become one of its victims. The learned
counsel employed much eloquence to show, that a government established
as the restoration had been, by force of foreign arms, had various din'.
addes to contend with, hem which those thrones were free which had
grown up from their foundations among the feelings and wants of the
people; and that such a government was of necessity driven to measures
for its preservation often not in strict accordance with legal usage.
He enumerated several of the acts of the legislature previous to the revo-
lution, which had implicated the throne and the government long
before the ordinances. Among them was the law of indemnity
for the ancient possessors of y before the old revolution,
which, though just in itsel,, having been misinterpreted by
the people, was the soma of great mischief. Let them smtk
to a peasant of liberty, obi be wield understand them; bat spak to
him of thew'es of gotanaishmeel lin that foreigners had
the throne of his social [kg, end he will feel his national
indepen-
donee compromised, aid list the spode from his arm to seize the wea.
pop with which he had before melted to the frontiers to contend on the
laid of battle against the imagers of his country. It was in the midst
of these melancholy colliehms of peddle feeling between the monarchy
and the nation that the kW itafeetusate Ministers of Charles X. took
office, and were conunitestll for the salvation of the throne, to take
measures which, under Molest cirannstances, would never have been
thought of But he called spot the Chamber of Peers to bear in mind,
that they had themselves been parties to many of the moaners which
had bought the throne of the late dynasty into its danger, and that
the sublime of the lees simmuhy had been long compromised before the
(amities of the Ma k, of the Bth of August. He then adverted
to what he lissend the vasey attacks which the late moaareby had sus.
before it bad Inesedi resod to diked its rights. The press had
teemd with assaults dais mane, und the King at length fined that
this extreme liberty of the piles was besempatible with the existesee of
his throne. They should shays 'smasher, that the value of the liberty
of the press woo a great problem of modal; thoss,—that it was unknown
in ancient ts, sad was very likely to be a apse which
various ions would be famted in the cabinets of Printopicces. The jeer-
oak had raged against all the principles which the monarch y held dear,
and it was natural for the Ling a leek apes it with a jukes eye, as
bent upon the annihilation of die power of the Bourbon race. It had
been laid by the commissioners for the ammatiou, that the people
bad upset the late throne with reluctance, bat this was against
the whale evidence of their acts ; they were best upon its over-
throw; and the only hope of the Crown was to endeavour to save
itself by strong measures, or unresistingly receive its prostrate
fate. Tha old and the now principles were brought into fatal collision
by a long skies of unfortunate measure., for which the unfortunate mi.
tasters on trial was not msponsibk, and the train of which It was too
late to avert when they received the helm of governante. He the
proceeded thus :—I have permed the sincerity of the waken, bat mere

' his sabre to the scabbard ! Here the orator examined in full length the
question of ministerial responsibility, and continued to show that the
accused cannot be condemned without the most signal injustice. The
people has preferred toasted the throne, and abjuring all idea of rm.
geanos, thought it better to ensure its future happiness by the overthrow
of the monarchy, than by shedding the blood of the ministers.
The days of vengeance are now gone by—the day of justice dawns
upon us:: justice for the man who has confided his defence to my weak-
nese, and notice for you, gentlemen, is clemency, and clemency is the
most noble offering you can make to France. Let nobody pretend that
recent misfortunes demand vengeance; no, the taunts of the victims of
liberty demand no other sacrifice than tears and regret; and pethaps on
the great national festival, when we shall all surround their tombs, four
families will perhaps timidly present their homage and the offering of
their heartfelt gratitude for the preservation of their parents. Al 1 then.
then indeed you will really feel year pendent when you will have
given the nobles, the rare example of a whole nation sacrificing its
dissensions to the pace of the country. Peers of Prance, you sill
shine at the bead of this great fesdval, because it will be the fruit of
your labours.
Notwithstanding the Injunctions of the President, the audience gave
the most evident marks of approbation to the young defender. On the
audience being suspended, several Peers shook hands with him, and M.
Dupla sin& went up to embrace him.

DEFENCE OF GUERNON DE RANVILLE.
M. Crernieux, defender of M. Gueenon de Renville then began s
follows :_,sGentlemen, I Milt
flit of
all claimyour indulgence : for,
after listening to the eloquent defence which you have just heard, more
than ever I kel how much I want it. The trophies of lifiltiades pre.
vented me from sleeping last night but, at the Rune time, I ester.
tamed the most flattering hopes for the success of my cause, as the ac.
quittal of M. de Chantelause appeared to me • guarantee for my client."
The defender entered into a relation of the events which have taken
piece since the restoration, and endeavoured to show the incompatibility
of the Bourbons with the nation, on account of the different principles
which animated the dynasty and the people. From thence the defender
took occasion to relate the different circumstances of the life of M.
Outman, and proved that be always showed himself sincerely attached
to the constitution, both by his works and his conduct as a magistrate.
Like those who spoke beore him, M. Cremieux examined the actions
[of M. de Renville whilst he was minister, maintaining that he cot:.
saintly opposed any system of government hostile to the opinions of
the country. The orator added, M. Guernon de Renville yielded to the
urgency of the moment, to the solicitations of the government when he
signed the ordinances, and that, a moment of imprudence, inspired
by an appearance of devotedness to his royal master can never
be looked upon as a crime of high treason. Besides, M. Guernon had
merely signed, and not advised the adoption of the ordinances, a sir.
aunstance which ought to be taken into serious consideration. Besides,
the Court before which the cause is to be decided, is not complete. is
not the same as when the crime (supposing it to be a crime) was cool.
milted t and this alone is sufficient to prevent any legal judgment. M.
Cremieux terminated by bringing on the scene a stranger visiting the
ruins of Paris when that noble town will be no more, and his guide
showing him she remains of the Pantheon, and of the House of
Peers, and telling him that after a noble struggle for liberty, the great.
est nation of the earth pardoned its oppressors, thinking that no blood
ought to be shed on the shrine of freedom.
The emotion of the defender w.is so profound that he fell into a
swoon, and was carried out of the room.
This incident made a deep impression on the whole assembly in such
an awful insistent.

)f. Berenger, ooe of the Commiasionms of the Chunk, of Deputies,
replied to the defence. His principal argument canasta in maintain-
ing that the es-Ministers are really responsible. the King's inviolabili.y
having been preserved—a truth which all France could prove, and
Charles K. himself; but the people had been moderate towards the Mo.
starch: it was because they knew ►hat the ministers were answerable for
the crimes of the Monarch.
The Court adjourned till to-morrow.

LAFAYETTE'S ORDER OF THE DAY.

MONDAY.

In these circumstances, which different passions and Interests would
fain render critical, to the great prejudice of peace and public order, the
Commander.in.Chlef feels it his duty to express his thanks to the Na -
tional Guard, and to the troops of the Has under his command, for
having shown by the seal, good spirit, and union displayed by them
during the last days, that the cause of liberty has brave defenders against
' anarchy and contempt of the laws. The marks of confidence and affec-
tion manifested to him during his visits to thedifferent posts, not only by
the troops under arms, but also by the other citizens, have excited his
lively gratitude. Thauentimems are reciprocals The Coemnander.in.
Chief at the commencement of this week, In which the glory of the great
week appears in danger of being tarnished by disorder and violence, thinks
it his duty to meal to the minds of his fellow-citizens the peftsciples and
'experience of his whole life. He will not address himself to the counter.
revolutionists, to the partisans of the fallen dynasty, to the old servants
of all aristocracies and of all despotisms, who, not content with the pro-
' teethes extended towards them by a generous people, and by the rights
of a liberty which knows no exceptions, the only true liberty, might
wish, es In the int revolution, and at the risk of being themselves the
victims to bring about a third restoration by anarchy ; and, under the
mask of hypocrisy, to substitute for liberty licentiousness, its mortal
enemy—to stain, by anarchy and murder, our spotless revolution—to en.
courage our foreign enemies—to put an end to the admiration of the world,
and thus to destroy the effects of the example we have given. The general.
in.chief has no feeling in common with them ; still less does he address
himself to those men habituated to crime, eager for pillage, who
regret that the rapidity and the purity of the victory left them no time
for the accomplishment of their bad designs. With whatever pre.
text they may disguise their pretensions, they surely will not seduce s
virtuous, laborious, and intelligent population, who, even in the heat
of combat, showed its horror for such excesses, and for such people.
But if in this population there should be well-intentioned but misled
citizens, who should consider themselves as serving the ends of justice.
in committing the greatest offence against It, by threatening the judges,
who should think that they serve liberty, which is sovereign justice,
whilst they employ means that this liberty condemns ; who, in fine.
through private discontent should wish to destroy their own
work at any risk,—l will remind them that it was thus at another
period that the French people fell into the honors of a bloody and
truly tyrannical anarchy,—the parent of bankruptcy, of famine,
and of the maximum, and then afterwards threw despotism into
the disgrace of a restoration forced upon them by foreigners. However.
the confidence of the General.in.Chief in the population of Paris—in
the brave and generous victors ofJuly—in that vigorous youth of whom
be is the constant friend—in their brave brother-soldiers, the
National Guard.w.haa not been shaken for a moment. They will el.
ways find in him the same as he was 19 years ago—as he was in
In 1830, and the same as he will remain for the few years he has to live
—the man of liberty and public order, loving popularity more than life.
has decided to maifice both rather than fail in his duty, or witness the
perpetration of crime; and deeply persuaded that no end can justify
means which public and private morality disavow. He thought, is
our barricades, that the actual Government, founded upon the sove-
reignty of the people, having at its head Louis Philip the First,
was the best combination of power which under the circumstances of
Frame and of Europe we could adopt. He thinks so still, and de.
fends this mermen, not only because he has promised to do so, but
also because his opinion remains unchanged. As to the other combies•
dons of our political existence, as to the secondary measures of tidal:.
nistration, they are before the proper tribune, to which it does not be-
long to me in an order of the day to give my advice. A popular threw
surrounded by republican institudons—this was the programmes/lord
at the Hotel de Ville by a pude' of ink since become a citizen King.
The people and the King should be alike faithful to this cestract. The
Generalsin..Chief, being well assured of being supported by his patriotic.
ibilow.citisena, as well es his brethren in elms, all he dares to mil be
friends, and bound by one cosmos tie of devotion to those principle.°
liberty and public ceder, which be will never abandon, if even alone
emus this day, as be has always done, upon their co.operatioa for the
strict sad loyal mention of all their duties.

Letters from Madrid announce that the Spanish cabinet
has received a note from the English government, drawn
up in concert with that of France, which urges Spain to
recognise the states of America. It is said to be in con-
templation to send one of the King's brothers to Mexico,
and to divide the debt occasioned by the Cortes bonds
between the new states and the mother country. The arma-
ment of troops continues, and they are being sent towards
she frontiers of France.

BRUSSELS, Dzc. 18.
The Congress, after having been several days occupied
with the discussion of a law for creating a senate, and
adopting the articles with or without amendments, rejected
the whole law this morning, upon its being put in the en-
semble, by a majority of 112 against 66.
They write from Luxembourg, that M. Dumoulin, military
commandant of that fortress, has just received orders from
the King of Prussia to maintain the strictest neutrality, to
be very circumspect in his conduct, and to abstain from
even• act that might be contrary to the rights possessed by
the Belgians. M. Willmar had drawn up a list of proscrip-
tions against 75 persons, who were interdicted an entrance
into the town. Several of these persons now circulate freely
in Luxembourg.

Frogs Me Message? des Caesarea, dated Monday, Dee. 20.
BAYONNE, Dxc. 13.
Letters from Madrid, which we have received by express,
speak of a circular note of the greatest importance which the
Government of his Catholic Majesty is said to have addressed
to the several Courts of Europe, in which, replying to the ap-
plications of some Cabinets, and in order to refute the calum-
nies advanced in several journals, M. Gonzales Salmon, Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs, declares, in his master's name,
" that he is firmly resolved to maintain the friendly re-
lations existing with France, according to the principle
of non-intervention, and not to take any part whatever
in the quarrels which the high Powers, in the names of trea-
ties, may think fit to raise in future. The minister adds,
that the troops sent towards the Pyrenees have no other ob-
ject than to prevent a coup de main of the Spanish emi-
grants, against whom this Government was necessarily
obliged to be upon the defensive, since it is well known that
they are organising at Paris a central committee to devise
weans to make new attempts."
This step, which is supposed to have been advised by the
new British Ministry, must confirm, more than any thing that
has passed, the pacific intentions of the Court of Madrid.

MADRID, Dec. O.
Amidst the great events which agitate the world, the English
Cabinet, faithful to its principles, always think of the future,
has just sent, it is said, a note to our government, in concert
with France, with a view to induce Ferdinand to acknow-
ledge the new states in America, in order to put an end to the
unhappy situation of those countries, which affects at the same
time, the commerce and manufactures of Europe. It should
seem that the plan which is advised, in reference, would be
to send one of the King's brothers to Mexico, and England
would take upon itself to negotiate—to divide the loan of
the Cortes among all the American states, who would
become by right independent. Spain would stipulate a
treaty of commerce entirely to its own advantage, and this
would enable it to become once more powerful. It NOM
that the King has not disdained this advice as hitherto, but
that it is to be discussed by a commission appointed on
purpose. If this be true, the commerce of the whole world
will owe eternal gratitude to the administration of Grey
and Lafitte for having taken the initiative in an affair, the
consequence of which to the interests of every body, espe-
cially of the holders of the Cortes loan, are incalculable.
Pressed by Russia, our Government is exerting all the
activity of which it is capable, in arming the newly-raised
troops. Yesterday orders on the subject were sent to all
the provinces. All officers absent on leave are ordered to
join their corps. The troops are in motion, and continue
to proceed towards the frontiers of France.

No mystery is made of the hopes excited by the hostile
dispositions of the Powers of the north. The Madrid Ga-
zette lately intimated this in an article on the occasion of
the retreat of the Constitutionalists who had shown them-
selves in Catalonia. The news of the march of the French
troops towards the Pyrenees has been known here for some
days ; nevertheless the Government appears not to regard
this movement.

(The Messager and the Gazette de France, dated Mon-
day, and the Monitecr and other papers of Sunday, con-
tain no further news from Warsaw.)

LETTER IN THE TIMES.

At day. brcak this morning the posts of the Paleis Royal, the Courts
0` the Louvre, and the Palace of the Luxembourg, were all strength.''
cud. At eight o'clock, as I passed through the great square of the
Louvre, it presented one dense mass of National Guards fully equip.
Prd. The cannons were all served, and the streets upon the quays
wry: all paraded by strong piequets. The cavalry were all mounted,
and the Lancers and Chaaseurs of the line had hay slung over the
saddles of their horses, as ready for active service, I learn
that Gerund Lafayette will hold a military council this evening,
a.'d that there is something more in these indications of disturbance,
Iran I can ascertain from any observation which 1 have been able to
make late this day through the city. There were several arrests last
night of suspected persons--one an officer of some rank in Napoleon's
.rmy, who contemplated (as the rumour goes) the proclamation of Na-
Poleon's son. The imposing appearance of military array this day has,
it is said,overawed popular tumult, and suspended its action till later
in the week, when the workmen (I fear a very unemployed class
a: this moment) declare they will assert their rights which they deem to
have been compromised since the achievement of the revolution.
It Is now known that there will be a majoeity myagreat
tn, peers, against capital punishment. The unhappy lady who is the
I:re of Prince Polignac has been, though just risen from her aceoucbe..
ntit, turning up 06 Heaven and earth " for his salvation. Like the

avowed, that Lafayette has ooaperated fee the same bumsne purpose.
hare also heard that among the arests last night for an intention of
Proclaiming young Napoleon, was General Courgaud, who wan st St.
;Liens. Other military names are mentioned, but I have no authority
to state further than that some arrests have hem made. Evidence has
been this morning given before the pollee that bodies of workmen were
12110Yed last night is the fauxbourg St. Antoine, making ball mr.

(ridges. The city Is, while I write, the focus of excitement. People's
minds are,unquiet, and in such a situation liable to receive every exag-
gerated rumour. Y.

QUARTEIL-PAST FIVIC o'CLocx.—l re-open this letter to say, that
upon my return to the Luxembourg, I observed a very great increase of
the groups which I had left in the neighbourhood an hour before. There
were thousands additional : they were crying out " Jastiot !" which I
fear means rengeanee. Gmups were singing the Parisian air, and the
Indications looked unfavourable. They were, however, when I left the
place, everywhere dispersing before the picquets of the National Guard.
I heard that many of this crowd had fire-arms. On passing thmugh
them I saw none. The night is falling, and people apprehend worse
tumults at a later hour. The National Guards are everywhere repairing
to their places of rendezvous.
