The excuses assigaed by M. DaArLT were, however►'
not only not approved, bdt forikagy rejected, by se''
veral (lecisious ofttbe Court. Shalt it be said that
M. DRAULT did not wish to deprive Munoz; of a pre'
tended ground of nullity, which in his opinion might
be established inconsequenceof the refusal mallow him

—Suppose that such a nullity exists, an Advocate.
officially appointed, pleading against the consent of
the accused, and solely in submission to the order of
the Coutt, cannot make the accused lose the advan-
tage of it. Were it not so, it would always be in the
power of the Court, in similar circumstances, to
destroy, by insidious means, the effect of an pliection
of nullity. The Advocate-General concluded by
moving that the name cf M.DaAuLr should be erased
from the list of Advocates.

The COURT, after a long- deliberation, pronounced
a very detailed judgment, in which, among other
groundsof decision, it is stated that at the first audience
M. DRAULT, after the rejection of the excuse which
he alleged, had read the conclusions relied on by
BERTON, and that, in the course of the proceedings,
he had made observations on the depositions of the
witnesses, and thus formally announced the intention
of obeying the Court; that the conduct since held
by M. DRAULT had evidently, and still has, no cther
object than that of occasioning scandal; that he had
been wanting in that respect which is due to the
Judges, and had neglected the duties imposed on him
by his profession and the oath he had sworn. The
Court, therefore, in pursuance of the application of
the ADVOCATE-GENERAL, orders that the name of
M. DRAULT be erased from the list of the Advocates
of the Royal Court of Poitiers, and condemns him to
pay the expense of the citation issued against him.—
The proceedings of the French Government against
the Public Journals become every day more tyran-
nical. The Government compelled the Newspapers
to. insert the falsehoods of M. de CABRERE, the Sub-
Prefect of Sall mUr, against M. BEWSAMIN CONSTANT,
but no sooner did that Gentleman contradict the ca-
lumnies on his character, than the Police seizes on
every Journal that dares to insert his letter. On Sun-
day the Constitutionnd, the Courier. Francais, the
Journal du Commerce, and the Pilots were teized at
their respective offices.
The same spirit pervades the dipartments. The
Court of Assize at Boutdeauz has just sentenced a
bookseller of that town to one year's imprisonment
and a fine of 500 francs, for selling a Life of Bona-
park, in one pact of which was an extract froin ,a
journal called the Independent, which was published
during the hundred days. The affair was pleaded
with closed doors.

It is stated that a memorial on the Decree of the
Court of Assize, against the four Journals condemned
for the account given of the proceedings on the Ro-
chelle conspiracy, is in the course of preparation, and
will be signed by the principal Lawyers of the Paris
bar. The appeal in Cassation was notified on Satur-
day last to the Clerk of the Court.

A letter from Poitiers, dated the 13th, mentions
that Berton, Caffe, Sauge, Henri Fredin, Senechault,
and Jaglin, have suffered two of the three days al.
lowed them for making an appeal to the Court of
Cassation to pass away, without observing that km •
mality ; but it was expected they would appeal the
next day. These six convicts were first confined in
the same prison, with the necessary precautions for
preventing any of them from committing an act of
desperation. The incessant lamentation of Sene-
chault made it necessary to remove him to a separate
apartment. Berton maintains his tranquillity.
Ricque, Ledier, Alix, and the others, found guilty
of misprision, appeared determined not to appeal.—
The three former were allowed to see their wives.

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 5.

We mentioned yesterday the alarming progress
which the plague was making latterly in Turkish
Albania. Letters which we have received to-day
from the frontiers of Dalmatia contain the melan-
choly confirmation of this intelligence, and add, that
the contagion had spread also in Epirus and the
Merea. All the inhabitants of Joannina bad left that
city, and dispersed themselves about the surrounding
country. This has probably given rise to the report
that all the inhabitants of that city had been swept
away by the contagion., Two of the fugitives who
came to Delving), where they died the day after their
arrival, brought the plague to that town.

All the lonian Islands are placed under a fifteen
days quarantine with respect to Corfu. In all the
ports of the Adriatic the quarantine regulations are
enforced with the more rigour in proportion as the'
danger of infection is greater from the fugitives, who
crowd from all parts of the Greek Continent to the
lonian Islands, and especially to Zante.
