We hare this day received the Paris Papers of
ftiesday. The most important article of their con-
env: is the trial and conviction of LAMIDOYWRg ; but
le has announced his intention to appeal. The pro.
.ectition was m Awed with much correctness. He
vas simply charged with disobedience of orders, in
.ct only marching off with his regiment without, but
direct opposition to, the orders of his superior Of-
.cer. The culprit wished to enter into political
ilu;sitions in his defence, but the Court would
a hear him.. These metaphysical distinctions
;nuld never affect the truth or falsehood of a
-Amnia tact laid to his charge. He had to
t)provc, if he could. the tact that had been brought
(idle to him by invalidsttnit the testimony of the wit-
eAts. 'ri.ere c.'n be little doubt of the result of his
as the Superior Court has nothing to do with
it evidence or the ie.itence, but merely to see that
o.ic of cLuiegal corms hare been violated.

'MAL or THE TR A ITOR LABED3VERE.

SECOND COUNCIL OF WAR.
MONDAY. MIODST 14.

At nine o'clock in the morning the Hall was
-waded, And among other foreigners of distinction
• e Dinkel the Hereditary Prince 'of Orange, the
:'rince Royal of Wartemberg. and Prince William
Prussia. The tribunal was presided by I\l. bur-
:er de Sauvigny, Colonel in the Army.
At eleven o'clock the hosiness of the day corn-
rimed. M. Vietti, Captain Reporter (Judge
advocate), read, in the absence of the accused, all
pipers connected with the trial of Charles Ange-
-1 cue Hitches de Labedoyere, aged '29. M. Bezon
attended as Counsel for the accused.

The first paper was an order of Lieutenant-General
"cunt Maison, dated Bth August, by which &cur
.abedoyere is to be brought before the council
War, as being accused of ereaton, rebellion, and
• duabn of the troops (einbauehage).

It rebults from the first examination which the
:cused underwent before M. de Cazes, Prefect of
ulice, that he set out from Riom after the submis.
s%OI of the corps of Excelling's, wbicsh be joined,
I.,.:ikcut, however, doing :any duty with it. On his
Prrval at Chartres in a diligence, he took a return
ich brought him to Paris, to Madame Fon-
cTe, a friend of his family.

The privet of the accused was at first to LAT re.
Ige in America ; he had consequently, on the
uly, obtained a letter of credit for 55,000 francs on
iltiladelphia. When he was made acquainted with
to King') Oidonnance of the 24th July, he perceived
nut it would be difficult to embark, or even to pass
no Switzerland. He therefore came to Paris to
oncert with his family as to his future destination.
' Perhaps," he observed, 44 I should have taken the
solution of constituting thyself a prisoner, and ap-'
:taring voluntarily before a Council of War."
The Prefect asked hint why he did not assume the
white cockade, after.the example of General Excel-
:sans and his troops ?
Labedoyere answered, that he travelled as a 'pri-
ate citizen, otherwise be would have worn the white
ockade.

When interrogated as to the events of March last,
:.t protested that he bad no correspondence whatever
with the island of Elba, and that be was never pre-
.tat at any meeting at which it was proposed to re-
sU Jn fact, he bad often beard vague
sports, and some atressions of discontent; but never
_earl of any regular plot.
Q. Did yon participate in these discontents ?
k. I did, to a certain estent. Personally, I had
o ground of complaint; not having obtained any
,ing from the nig, but at the same time not having
:one any thing for him. •
Q. ma induced you t 6 break yt•ur oaths to the
K.ng, and to join Bonaptrte to ove; turn the Govern-
:eat of his Majesty ? A. This will enter into my
!e:ence before the Council of War.

I:1 this examination the prisoner was merely called

' r military man." &fore the Judge Advocate lie
t:tinv2d the qualities of General Officer, Officer of
-e Legion of Honour, and Ofii,:er of the Iron
.ircsan. I'he following were the principal beads of
dr-cument : •

Q. Why do you call yourself a General OAicer?—
`••
Eorn the rank which was given me on the 20th
M;.reh la,t by the Emperor. I was not acquainted
-:tit the Ordormance of the King which related to
Orriccrs in the same circumstances with me. •
Q. General Devilliers made representations to you
the 7th of March to prevent you from ioining 80-13?arte—he
13?arte—he reminded you of your family connections
the interests of the country ?—A. I was deter.
joined by what I considered to be the interests of the
:tuntry. in the then position of things.
Q• Are you the author of, a iroclamatiou of the

tit tegini,nt of the Pre to their brethren in arms
As Yes; the 7th and 11th tvpinients At the line, the
4th hussars, 'h.- 4th horse artillery, and the SJ sappers,
having made addresses, the Major•oeneral (Ber-
trand) requested me to make one also.

The prisoner, at the end of this examination) said,
gi I shall h Ivo occasion for the testimony of every
person who can give accurate intelligence as to the
circumstances which paved the way for or followed
this act. The law admits of witnesses being called
for the verOcatiois of facts s does it not afford a fa.
cility for hearing witnesses for or against the legitimacy
of the facts ?"

After reading the above papers the prisoner was
introduced. He then underwent the following eza•
minatinn from the President:

Q. Who appointed you Colonel oldie 7th regiment
r the line ?—ck. I was appointed by the King.
Q. Have you not received the Cross of St. Louis ?
.. Never.

Q. What colohrs did: you receive as Colonel
.. A white flag.

Q. Did all the officers of the regiment f—A. I
lagine they did : I was not present.
Q. By whose orders did your regiment march not
Grenoble on the 7th of March f—A. By my orders.

Q. At what period did you present to your regi.
spent the sagte which your servant brought from
Chambery?—A.. After leaving the suburbs of Gre-
:,oble: It was an c igle which was kept in a trunk as
a curiosity, because it had figured with honour in the
war in Spain.
Q. Where did you hear of the landing of Bona-
parte ?—A. At Charn'oery, where f received orders
from Genera ILvilliers to march upon Grenoble
with my regimeor.
Q. Where was your re meet stationed ?—A. It
bivouacqued upon the ramparts.
Q. By whose orders was it marched upon Gap
where Boaaparte was ?—A. By no orders but mine.
Q. What cry did you utter when giving the order
to march forward ?—A. Vive 1' Eatspreur 1

Q. Did yon tear your white cockade and pat on
a tricoloured one ?—A. No ; I had no white

cockade.

Q. Did not Central Dnilliers run after you, and
employ his authority and persuasion to recall you to
your duty Ycs : General Devilliets spoke to
me of the connections which I should break through,
and of the consequences which might follow. I an-
swered, that I thought the interests of the country
were paramount to every thing.
Q. Have you any disclosures to make?—A. None.

The prisoner once more insisted that he was en-

tided to call witnesses as to the circumstances which
led him to adopt an inconsiderate line of conduct,
and which would render him excusable.
The Council ordered the witnesses to be called to

the simple fact of treason and, rebellion.
Count Agnult, Colonel of the Garde: du Corps,
and Messrs. Bottler, Arkin:, and Vecrony, of Gre.
tickle, related. that wi the morning of the 7cll of
March, Labedoyere, whose regiment was then on
the ramparts, held a very warm conversation with
General Marchand. his superior officer, and quitted
him in very ill humour. About three o'clock he
gave ~rders to march onward; and scarcely was he
out of the town, when he drew his sword and called
out rive PEnotrestr, broku open a chest, from which
he took a gilt eagle which he put on the end of a
branch of willow I and, on the same evening, he re-
turned to Grenoble in the suite of Bonaparte.
General Del/Alien deposed. that having heard that
there was an extraordinary rumour on the ramparts
he went there: he was told that the 7th regiment,
commanded by its Colonel, had abandoned its post
.to go to meet Bonaparte. He ran on foot to the
road which the regiment had taken, met by chance a
horse, mounted it and galloped towardulte deserters.
He brought back about a hundred, but when he
arrived at the head of the regiment, neither entreaties
nor menaces were listened to: he spoke to M. Labe-
doyere of honour and his country ; he aaswered him
that be respected both ; but apparently he did not
view these words in the same light with him, and be
made nothing of him.
Other witnesses stated that Labedoyere broke up a
drum after leaving Grenoble, in which tri-coloured
cockades were hid, and gave them to the men.
M. Viotti, the Judge Advocate, then summed up
the evidence in a brilliant speech. "If we are to
measure crimes," he observed. 84 by their results, let
Coloriel Labedoycre look around him and see our
fields occupied by foreign armies—let him look at
the miseries he has brought on his country, and judge
for himself."
The Counsel for the prisoner, M. Bexon, stated
that the prisoner would read his own defence.
Colonel Labedoyere then began, but it was a poli-
tical rhapsody, and he was desired to confine himself
to a mere disproval of the acts of rebellion laid to his
charge. He then turned over several leaves of his
defence, in order to read a mean and pitiful eulogium

on the Bourbons. He said it h:►d been always his
study to teach his soldiers to respect the names

of the great warriors of that august race I
He concluded by expressing his contrition, and
said-4I I now see,all promises have been fulfilled—
all guarantees consecrated—the Constitution has been
perfected—and foreigners will, I trust, still see a
great nation in the French rallying round their King.
Perhaps I shall not enjoy this spectacle, but I have
,shed tuy blood for my country, and I illittr.f myself

with the hope, that my death will be of some utility
to it, and that my name -will not be held in ab-
Ilottence.°'

The prisoner was then withdrawn. The Council
having deliberated, declared unanimously that he
had been guilty—lst. Of Treason.-2d. Of Rebel-
lion, but not of seducing the troops.
Sinkers of Death —drlmplatios from Mr rani and
tiecorationr--and trepans of dm tostaracer of the jerorecu
lion, were then pronounced against him.
Labedoyere was dressed in a green great coat; and
wore no decoration. His dupe is tall, and his phy-
siognomy fine and agreable. He appeared at filst•
embarrassed, but ha soon assumed a firm manner, and
his examination commenced.

He is allowed 24 hours to appeal to the Court
of Revision. He is said to hive made use of the
following expressions on Sunday : I shall be tried
to-morrow ; I shall appeal, the papers will be sent on
Tuesday to the reporter, the Council of Revision will
decide on Thursday = tad next d was always
told that Friday was an unlucky day V'

The Official Journal contains another Ordinance
of the KINO, ordering a reduction of the Navy, b.;
allowing Officers who have served a certain period or
acquired a certain age, to retire on half-pay in the
same way as directed in the Ordinance of the pre-
ceding (la v rt specting the army.
The Cli:i.tl Journal; alluding to what it calls un-
founded statemmts in the other Jonrnals, states that
it is not true that the foreign armies now in France,
particularly the Russians, continue to rereive daily re.
intorcements. The article is a laboured one, and we
doubt not is perfectly correct; for the Russian: hal,.
ing suffered as kr:, their number is entire, and requires
no augmentation—but those armies. which have
been reduced below their stipulated number by the
casualties of the war, either have been reinforced or
arenow reinforcing. In fact every Power is engaged to
furnish and maintain a certain contingent—they have
done it, or are now sending them forward; but their
number is limited and definite. This we take to be
the real meaning of the official journal. From the
statements in the minor journals it might be inferred
that all the Powers were sending their entire armies to
live upon France.
