One of the ptincipai agents of the projected affaffina-

human laws. The evidence of his guilt, however,
mutt for ewer affix a ftigma on his memory. His co.
temporaries and pollerity will fay, Pica assay few no

I require that the body of Cliaatts Prensozu be

APRIL 8.--The following is the &Mance of the
juridical reports connefted with the fuicide of Ps-
casaau
Citizens Soupe, Didier, Boutquet, Brunet, Let-
eires, and Fleury, furgeons appointed by the Cri-
minal Tribunal to infpet the body of the Ex4eneral
Fremnt:, and to flare what were the caufes which
gave rife to his death, unanimoufly declared—
" That from the Temple they were condos:led in-
to the chamber where Cnazi.zs Picneoau, the Ea.
General, was confined. On arriving in the chamber
they found a male coipfe. After defcribing his per-
fon, and what appeared to them hit age, they go on
to fay that he died of ftrangulation. They elate,
they found a black filk handkerchief about his neck,
through which was paffed a faun (tick forty-five cen-
timeters long. and from four to five centimeters in
circumference ; which Rick, forming a tourniquet of
the cravat, was flopped by the left jaw, on which be
lay, with one end of the flick under. and this pro.
duced a degree of ftrangulation (efficient to occalion
his death. They then remarked, that the flick bad
relied by one of its ends on the left cheek, and that
by moving round irregularly, it had produced a
tranfverfal fcratch of about fix centimeters.
" The face was difcnloured, the jaw was locked,
and the tongue was preffed betwixt the teeth. The
ditcoloratian (e remzfee), extended over the whole
body. The extremities were cold. The =Ales
and fingers of the hand were firongly contralted.
Their opinion, therefore. wa', from all they law in
the p-..fition of the body, and the idea they had
formed refpefting it. that the body was the corpfe of
the Ez-General Picrisoao, and that he was guilty
of fuicide.
" Citizen Sirot, one of the gnu d'arntes telift, was
Rationed near the chamber of General Pico sozo,
in the Temple. He had beard a confiderable degree
of fireggling and noife, but imagined that the pri•
Toner laboured under a great degree of difficulty of
breathing,. He did not, however, think that there
was any thing which required his particular affiftance.
" Citizen Lapointe was near the fame (pat. He
awaked about four o'clock in the morning, but heard
no particular noife.
Citizen Fauconnier, Keeper of the Tower of the
Temple, deputed, that at half pall (even in the morn-
ing. Citizen Popon, Prestos u s keeper, went to
light his fire in the ufual manner. He was aftonifhed
at not hearing him (peak or Qir. He went immedi-
ately to Colonel POIIIMM, the Commander of the
gens d'armerie, and informed him of what had taken
place. Taverns., the Aecufer General, was inform.
ed of the eircumftance. A medical perfon was in-
Randy fent for, and all neceitary inftruCtioos were
given at the requeft of the Accufer General.
" Citizen Popon, principal "dole keeper of the Hall
of Jußice in the Temple, Rated, that at half pall
(even o'clock, he went into General Picriscao's
chamber, for the purpofe of lighting his flue.
" Not bearing him either (peaking or Rirring, and
dreading that tome accident had taken place, he fent
to appofe Citizen Fauconnier. He adds, that the
key of PICNICKU'II chamber was taken away by
him, immediately after Tupper on the preceding even-
ing, and that it had continued in hi. pocket till the
