TO counteract the many attempts that are daily

are induced to adopt a new Label, in which thzir address,

Is placed so compicuireviy, that the) trust an attention to this,

Provence has suffered severely for several months
from the want of rxin. To give an idea of the pre-

say, that a Reaumor', thermometer, exposed to the
sun on the 17th, trom twelve to two o'clock, remain-

ed constantly at 44 degrees.
On the day of the review, the Count. de Ruppin
remarked a grenadier of the Royal Guard, placed as
a sentinel at the door of the apartment of the Mi4itaity
School. which had been reserved for the illiistrtuus
uaveller. In going out he entered into conversation
with him,, and inquired of his campaigns. The gre_

.When the army, re-created by a faithful Minister,
has given brilliant proofs of its devotedness; when
the country, relying on it for its dearest interests, has
been assured that the white Bag would never receive
any othet stains than those arising from the blood
shed in its defence, what surprise, alarm, and indig-
nation, must we opt experience on learning that per-
rinsibeltinging to a chosen corps, who have the ho-
nour of being more especially charged with the most
preeious deposit,- should have conceived the horrible
distill of attempting the lives of the Royal Princes ?
Far from giving publicity to such a crime, to the
judicial discussions which it occasions, and the jadg-
silent which will terminate them, these odious and
adl cling details ought to be buried in profound si-
lence, were it not of importance to the corps to which
the accu,eii belonged, that France and all Europe
a:lould know, that the patricidal project, the folly of
which equals its wickedness, was stifled even in the
119atti of those that conceived it, and that they sought
in vain for accomplices among their comrades, who,
oa the first news of their arrest, manifested the deep.

him, that this man succeeded 'in °Staining "'mission
into the Royal Guard, where he never would have
been. received had lie been better known, Among
several traits of his life recently discovered, and which
prove the ferocity and perfidy or his character, the
ing is related :—He was in garrison at .Mentz
in 1814, when that town was blockaded by the allied
troops. and their h diffused a spirit of inaubowlim.
ism on the company to winch he belonged. One 01
his officers wishing to recall him to his duty by tbci

threat of a severe penishment, Dens ph nged 1:1s
Bain:: in his body, and succeeded in escaping from
the town. On arriving at the enemy's advanced
posts, lie announced himself to the vide-tie as a de-
serter. The viderte was a Oss ck, who receive
him with sollier.like frankness, and offered him some
brandy. lie tend of handing him his leathern brittle,
which was slung to hisa'iotilder, the• Cossack stooped
to give his visitor the opportunity of drinking out of it.
Deshans taking advantage of this situ ttroi, Which
rendereJ it impossible for the Cossack to defend him-
self, killed him, snipped him, oriented h s horse,
and fled. 1),•41).ols was then scarcely 22 yeas f
age; he is now only 25 •
After his admission into the Royil Guard, he
kept company only with men anini.ted by the worst
spirit, and whose conversation and eshiirtations
were calculat, d to unfold the corni al dtapositi, :a nl
his heart. He had himself at first pointed out several
individuals who treated him with drink, and occa-
sionally gave him small sums, of which he boasteal
before his comrades,saying, while jingling his crowns
" A lowlier of Vologeurs never wants money."
I)....sbatts has retracted, since these persons, against
whom there were not sufficient proofs on which to
ground an accusation, have been discharged. On
thi it being set at liberty the accused were delivered
over to the military tribunals.
The crime continued to. ferment in the head and
the heart of Desbans. He chose for the depositary
.f his iniquitous confidence him whom he believed
best lifted to be his accomplice, Jean Baptiste Chay-
oux, aged 23, bOin at Floing, near Sedan, who fen-
deied himself worthy of this preterilice by the ar-
ouur with which he adopted 'fir project of D.,sbans,
which by common toilsent they communicated to one
of their comrades, tamed Nepven, aged '2l, a natiiel
of Arras. They art all time fourriers in the 2d re-
giment. Chai mix has declarations.
This triumvirate meditated the most atrocious and
extravagant resolutions. Tl:eir unanimous oecision
was, that the lives 01 the Princes ought to be sacri.
ficed. One W 45 of opinion, that a ready opportti
nity would be round at a review, as Monsieur and
his two Willi un such occasions frequently toge-
ther. Another viought oat the it purpose might be
executed .►uh mile ease and certainty at a hunting
party. When their wild imagination pad given
wavier extent so direr project, ill, reonctirrad in the
necessity of having Su or 40 res-lutr then alio should
maketan attempt at Pads on ,he person of the King,
and .un the Thuilleries, while they put t 6 de ttlf the
Princes. But wit. re were the 30"r:r 40 men to be
found t They hoped to collect a great number of
discontented s. lotus, and with that view made 'eve.
tel journies 1.. Paris. Finally, they had agr •ed upon
no definitive plan. when it was ~nuounced that Mon-
sieur and the Dukes ~t Aligouterne and Berry were
to conic t•. Vet still, s on the 28th of April to review
the regiment.

Des-bans was then of /Tinton, that they should no
longer po►tpone the execution of their enterpt is ~ and
he proposed that the) shoutd determine by lot *ha
WAS to Are t.;r first shot. Nepven, more Mid than
the others, trembled on toe near approach i,t the mo.
ment when that crime was to be accomplished, which,
when e.•utemplated at a dis•ance, had not alarmed
him. He refused to draw lots. " Welt," slid Des-
bans, I must take the business myself." Chayoux
ober veil that a single ►'.ut, htlNcVel will aintrd,
would not be sufficient ; that it WAS necessary all the
three Princes should be killed at ..:.cr. itherwise they
Were exposing themselves to death for no purpose.
Be►iJes, view conspirators, or rathi r the assassins,
were not of the same battalion. The concerting of
decisive measures was accordingly deferred to the
very day of the review, in order to be then adopted
un tile instant.

MeAl.while, a berjeant.MAjor named Faisseaux was
Women for MAlversation The conspirators wished
to take auvantage of this supposed discontent, in nr;
der t uraw him into their plot. They made some
overtures to horn, to which he appeared to listen;
finally, he obtained their full confidence. Fel:seen:
deciares, that in endeavouring to discover the plot, lie
never bad any other design than to reveal it to his
Officers ; and, by a great service, compensate for the
faults which bad caused him to be deprived of his
rank. • His reason far delaying th! tfisclosure was his
wish to accompany his information with ppsitive proofs.
morning of the review,* tlie4nowient when
tb &ladies% were drawing up in theivianks,Faissranz
kaimentormation to M. Badly, Self-peiOnant, who
Effused the muskets and cartridgebrites to be exa-
mined, and found those of the accused fourriers, as
well as the other, empty. M. Badly then transmitted
the information which Faisseaux had given Inm to
the Lieutenmit-Colonel, who in his turn communi.
cared it himself to Colonel Baron Dimwit 0. As the
precautions taken by the Sttb-Lieutenant removed- all
tear of actual danger, the Colonet did not wish to
aggrieve the Princes, and the review took place ac
cording to the announcement t immediately after,
Faisseaux WaS put under arrest. ChAyoux, quite
alarmed, came to see Mint but the prisoner tranquil-
lized him by sayingo• that the Colonel had punished
him for having slisteittded his authority in addressing
himself immediately' fe—thiGeneral in order to obtain
his discharge. Faisieanz appeared several times be-
fore the Colonel, and repeated and confirmed his
deairation in presence of several superior Officers...—
He was set 41 liberty, and Cha)ous, Nepven, and
two others were arrested.

Desbans was at Paris. When he heard cf the im-
prisonment ot his comrades he seemed to lose all
command of himself. Agitated, not by remorse, but
by the idea ot the late.that awaited him, lie wandered
about like a madman, and it appeared that wine had
affected his understanding. In this state of alienation
he went to the house of the Sieur Thomas, armourer
to the Gardes du Corps, rue de Itivuli. " I want a

rades." He said sevcral other things, which indi-
cated delirium, proceeding either from intoxication
or fury. Thomas, the aricourer, at last appear, d.—

pushing back the woman, who endeavoured to stop

pursued him and overtook him. He strueglei, but

parried if the blows which Deshans aimed at .pin..
with his sabre, and from which he received some•
sliAlit seconds.
M. de Batiille, the Duke& Reggio's a'd-de-camp,
on at this time going to the Thoillerirs eni dull.
He oaservid a crowd round a soldier dres•ed in the
Royal Garde. He approached, and supposing it at.
affair of little importance, lie ordered Desbans to foi-
-1 low him. I)esbaus obeyed, but the armourer also
followed. 04' That fellow is a villain, who wants to
kill the Natiohal Guard." M. de Bundle proceeded
t•• qoastion Desbans, who answered only by, this in-
sult, "Come on, rascal, defend yourself." .He then
rail at t:•e Officer sword in hand, who had barely.time
to draw and guard himself. Several of the National
I Guard hastened to the spot, disarmed Desbans, and
conveyed him to the Post at the Tnuilleries, to which
M. Bouille consigne,l them.
Toe cause of all this frantic conduct was soon after
learned, and Desbans, as well as the other persons
accused, were in the first place delivered over to the
e•rninary course of the law, and afterwards referred
Ito a Council °I War, before which they contradicted
the dec►arations and avowals which they had made
in the beginning of the investigation. During the
examinations Desbans often vented himself in invec-
tives, r enaces, and insults. He frequently replied,
" I will answer nothing more. I well know ;he tate
that awaits me. I long to be at the plain of Grenelle."
Such is, in substance, a view of the principal facts
on which the discussions which are to take place to-
morrow before the first Council of war will turn.

Other two interior officers of the same regiment,
Guichard, aged 21, born at Chalons sun-Saone, and
Vareigne, aged 22, born at Verdun, implicated in the
same affair, will be trieil with Desbans, Chap:llx,
and Nepven, but they are by no means so deeply im-
plicated as the lartit zntioned three.
