An inquiry would suppose that his Majesty could re-•
eeiie the slightest impression from the calumnious alle-
gations of the Duke of Rovigo, and his Majesty would
'hot open the least pretext for such a suspicion.
What confirms the reality of these rumours, and evdn
gives them the character of authenticity, is.the following
fact, which cannot be questioned, since it has been pub-
lished, and has passed in presence of the Court :
On Sunday the Prince de Talleyrand presented -him-
self, according to custom, to pay his court to the Kink,
with all the great OiScers of the Crown-and Kingdom.,
His Majesty took this occasion to address these kind
words to the Prince de Talleyrand :---",P; ince Talley-,
rand, you and our's will be able to come here without,
fear of bad rencontre." ,
I -.We are persuaded that these Royal words will put an
end to the scandalous debate raised by the tzta,n whose
punishment they announce. We said yesterday that
the entr4e of the Cheteatt :of; the Tailleties washeoce-
forth forbidden to this. Dube ile-Rovizo- . .1

Landaburn, whose body, according to the Journal;
of the South, was dog up at Madrid on All Saints' Day,
Was, it will be recollected, an Officer of the Guards, and'
was massacred by the soldiers of his corps. His death
was the first sighal of the insurrection of July, 1822.,,
Having bOen eighteen months in his grave, he might
seem to have been secure from the fury of re-action.
The Gazette of Nuropshert announces that the Pope
has granted a General Amnesty to all persons impri-

Monday, (the eighth day), the trial of Dr. Coasting
concluded. M. Benyer, the second defender of the ac-
cused, spoke to the merits of the case with much elo-
quence and ingenuity. He observed that, as tothe first
Bch
of accusation, the poisoning of Hippillyte, the
ch trge had been abandoned by the public prosecutor.
As to the charge of destro7ing the will, he. observed
there was not even proof that a will existed • all that
was proved vas, that Auguste had given 100,000 francs
to Castaing, but whether from gratitude or 'from what
other motive -did not appear, and in such uncertainty
the Jury would not assert the existence of crime.
As to the third question, whether Castaing caused the
death of Auguste by poison, it was first necessary, he
observed, to have a certainty that Auguste was poisoned
at all. Where were these proofs ?-Of the appearances
on the inspection of the corpse, all might have been
caused by natural malady. Of the appearances exhiz
bited during life, some, such as the state of the pulse, re-
spiration, and the contraction of the pupils, were di-
rectly contrary to the symptoms of poison.
How was the poison given ? was it in the warm wine?
Everything leads to the conviction, that on the Fri-
day Castaing had no poison on him, for at his house in
Paris was found a phial full up to the cork. Yet Au-
guste was ill on the Saturday ; he was predisposed to it.
On the 27114 he had been low-spirited, and spoke of his
will. He had, perhaps, committed some excesses; lie
had.beie fatigued two successive days.
Was the poison given is the milk, the bitterness must
hive discovered it., In the potiun ?—Jean (the servant)
saw it poured out, and it has been analysed, and con-
tained no poison..
The speaker then adverted to the seventy-four pre-
•sumptions raised in the act of accusatiqn„agaiest him,
the greater part of which hasl,disappeared by force of
explanatious afforded , b mere cliatice. : But for this
chance tltey might alPiave rititaitied uasliakep; : *He
quoted the words 6,41i15ing of 1?r-gnee to the Judges—
.. You should ktiov:r.that whenever don does not give a
striking proof of a crime, that he will not make you
_ledges
of it, and that LtreFrves•it foe his•suprem.‘ trilassnal."
