A •ery curious exhibition took place in the Court
on the 27thlultimo; one DESCHAMPS, an Officer of
Gendarmerie, who had apprehended Taws', one of
the prisoners, in Switzerland, deposed, that he heard
of TELL= and WATTBLED being in a farm-house
in the Canton of Berne; that he found the former in
a loft, or granary; that, as he opened the door to
enter it, be heard the report of a pistol, but whether
fired within or without, he could not tell ; that, on
entering, he saw WarraLan stretched on the floor,
quite dead, his face covered with blood, and present-
ing the appearance of his having shot himself, by
putting the pistol to his mouth ; and that he was told
by TELLtzn that his comrade had committed suicide.

French Funds, Aug. 3. _Five per Cents. 92f. 40c.

The attempt of some of our Comedians to repre-
sent English Plays at Paris, has met with treatment
so iliiberal as not only proves that the national pre-
judices of the French are as strong as ever, but that
they have no claim to that character for politeness
which they so vauntingly boast. Two of the first
productions of two of our greatest dramatists, SIIAK•
SPEARE and SHERIDAN, and compared with whom
their CORNEILLES and MoLtzazs sink into insignifi-
cance, have been condemned unheard, and the actors
treated with the most brutal indignity.
It is true that the English Company, which was
under the direction of Mr. PeemitY, was not, we
believe, calculated to do us much credit for our his-
trionic talent ; but this was not the cause of the French
hostility, for Othello, which was first attempted to be
represented on Wednesday last, met with the most
decided hostility from the rising of the curtain, and
was actually got through in dumb chew. The master-
piece of SIiIaIDAN, the School for Scandal, was still
worse treated on Friday night, as the actors were
really driven off the stage; and " the females of the
English troop," says a French Paper, •" were assailed
by eggs, coins, and apples :" one of the Papers
says potatoes were even thrown at them.
So much for French gallantry and politeness. One
of the French Papers attempts to palliate the conduct
of his countrymen by stating that a French Theatre
is not authorised but only tolerated in England ; but
this very circumstance shews the difference of the na-
tional character; in England the liberality of the
Public neutralizes the restrictions of the laws, while
in France the prejudices and hostility of the people
defeats the liberality of the Government.
But as to the treatment of the French in England,

lock of the deceased.
The Swiss farmer, or owner of the house, is subse-
quently examined, and he deposes that the granary
has three windows--that the shot which killed WATT..
BLED was fired outside; and that one of the panes of
glass was penetrated by the ball, and that pane still
remains broken and unrepaired. The President
asked this witness " why he had
.not repaired his
window, and if he preserved the broken pane as an
historical monument?" The bench of the accused
murmured, and no doubt the Jury thought the ques-
tion very acute and relevant. The fact is important
to the accused party, as the deceased is mentioned
in the indictment as committing suicide from re-
morse, and the perjury of some of the witnesses is
evident, as some of them are brought to swear that
the shot was filed outside, while others as positively
swore that the unhappy man blew out his brains
with his own pistol.
In the examinations of the 29th, the following sin-
gular passage occurs :—" The President ordered the
depositions of Colonel PA ILIIES on the 15th of March
to be read. They referred to his complaints against
the bad treatment to which he had been subjected,
and against the cruelties of the gendarmes, by whom
he had been arrested." " I was," said the accused,
ft loaded with irons, chained in my bed, collared, and
insulted. I complained to the gensdarme of the bar-
barity. Ah, al: r said he, g you can speak finely r
and rivetted my fetters so as to stop the circulation
of my blood. In this state I was conducted to Col.,
mar."—The President asked if the Colonel had any
thing to add to this statement, andif he persisted
in his complaint ? The Colonel replied—" My
complaints are true; and by not insisting upon
them, I wish it to be understood that I abandon
to their own remorse those who have tortured me."
DASL AA (one of the prisoners) was then questioned
as to the circumstances of his arrest, but he refused
to answer, giving as his reason, that he did not wish
his sufferings to become the subject of merriment
with the Procureur-General, as happened some days
ago to his fellow-prisoners.
The PROC UR EU GEN ER A That is falte.'
The accused rising abruptly, and addressing the
Crown Of : " Yes, we all heard you."
" Faith," said DADLAR, " I see nothing funny in
endeavouring to strike off forty-four heads."
An inquiry was instituted on Friday, at the Pre-
fecture of Police, to prove the existence of the rings
to which Colonel DIIYAY was alleged to have been
attached. It was ascertained that there were six iron
rings, fixed in the wall at the head of the bed, and
six others at the foot of the bed, as was stated by the
Colonel in his Petition to the Chamber. The strait-
waistcoat and gag were likewise produced. The
jailers denied that they had put a cord round the neck
of the Colonel. The Colonel however begged the
Magistrates to observe that these were the men who
bad tortured him ; and that they were interested in
denying the facts. Besides, though these men had
had two months to reflect on their depositions, they
varied in the most essential points.
Dr. MA IL/SLINI being interrogated by the Justices,
did not hesitate to declare that the efforts made to
put on the strait-waistcoat caused the Colonel much
pain; and that if his position on the bed, his bead and
feet being attached to the rings, was such as the Co-
lonel had declared, it must have occasioned great
pain. The Doctor, moreover, declared, that M. Dv-
SAY was at that moment labouring under a severe

The French Papers of Saturday bring some addi--
tional intelligence from Madrid, though not of a later
date than that already given. The judicial authori-
ties are actively proceeding against the authors of
the late conspiracies against the Constitution and li-
berties of Spain. A Captain of the Royal Guards
has been condemned to death for his participation in
the plot at Aranjuez, and several of his accomplices
have been sent to the gallies. It is also said that
sentence of confiscation has been pronounced on the
lands of the Infant Don CAaLos, but that the sen-
tence was submitted for the consideration of the Au.
dicucia of Madrid.

if we look to the facts, we shall see that it has been
not only liberal but even kind ; we need not appeal
to that national feeling which was extended to the
thousands of unfortunate Emigrants and to the many
renegades who so long lived on our bounty during
the five and twenty years of the Revolution, to se-
veral of whom we are yet paying pensions ; we shall
confine ourselves to their dramatic and operatic artists,
as they call them.
Every one knows, that for many years French
plays have been most liberally supported at the Ar-
gyle Rooms, even to the neglect of the national
drama ; for such has been the mania of fashion, to
prefer the jingling rhymes of the French plays, and
the grimace and distorted attitudes of French actors,
even to English plays and English players.

It is stated in a letter from Vittoria, of the 25th
ult. that the Captain of the Guards, who is accused
of being one of the principal authors of the revolt,
the Count de TORRE-ALTA, was arrested on the
bridge of Miranda d'Ebro, on tile 21st ultimo, dis-
guised as a waggoner. It is supposed that he was
attempting to reach the frontiers of France. He was
conducted to Vittoria on the 24th.

Then there was TALM A and Mademoiselle GEOROgs,
who visited us a few years ago, who had a reception
more becoming that of a Prince, than individuals
who were merely players." We poured our money
into their pockets at the Opera House, our Nobility
deigned to ask them to their table;, and even' a pub-
lic dinner was given in honour of the French Roscius.
• Again, if we look at the Ring's Theatre, we shall
find that three-fourths of the singers and dancers are
French, not one of whom ever received an insult
from an English audience, but, on the contrary, have
been patronized and caressed; and, lastly, we may
mention M. ALECANDRE, %vho, without the ingrati-
tude of his countrymen, after being warmly sup-
ported for two seasons in London, bore testimony to
the liberality and kindness with which we treated him.
We by no means wish to censure the British Public
for their encouragement of foreigners ; on the con-
trary, we rejoice at it, and trust that we shall be as
proud to excel the French in our liberality as we have
been in the glory of our arms ; and when next a
French writer talks of the politeness and the gallantry
of the is Great Nation," let him reflect on the treat-
ment of the English Actors at the Theatre de Porte
St. Martin.

The Indicrtteur of Bourdeaus contains several pri-
vate letters from Madrid of the 22d ult. all proving
tl.at the events of the 7th have given increased energy
to Spanish patriotism. They assert most positively
that if the projects of the insurgents had not been de-
feated, foreign armies would have made a movement
in advance ; but such is the national spirit that they
day foreign interference. One of these letters says,
It seems certain that a gratuity of from thirty to
forty francs was given to every Guard on the day of
the attack, and perhaps for some days preceding it.

This has been confessed by some of them ; and it is
calculated that this affair and that of the Carabineers
must have cost the Servile faction about fifty millions
of reals. Nearly all the Guards are either taken or
have voluntarily surrendered themselves. A very
small number remain concealed, and among them
five or six Officers, of whom three, it is said, have
received passports from the Ambassador of a foreign
Power."

The following is an extract from another letter—
" Captain Mon (and not Saint Silrnon, as has been
said) refuses to answer any interrogatories, except in
the presence of the King, the Princes, and General
Morino. The Magistrates have in vain represented
to burn that persons of this elevated rank cannot be
confronted with him; he produces, by way of reply,

Letters from Cadiz, of the 16th ult. announce that
everything was quiet there, and that an unusual de-
gree of activity prevailed in that port, in consequence
of the safe arrival of the asvannials convoy, having
on board a number of emigrants.with their property,
from Mexico.
