The Jury retired to the Chamber of Deliberation
at five o'clock precisely. They returned at half-past
eleven to the Court. The late hour had not dims
sished the numerous assemblage which attended the
proceedings in this important affair ; and it was re.
markable that even the ladies, who were in great
numbers in the hall, waited patiently for the seven
hours duiiiig which the Jury were consulting. At
last the bell sounded, and all having resumed their
s.ats, heard in profound silence the Foreman of the
Jury declare the result of their deliberations. He
answered " No" to all the questions which were sub.
mitred to them. All the accused were in consequence
acquitted. Before the declaration or the verdict, the
President had commanded that no sign of disappro.
bation or approbation should be manifested.
In the course of the reply of M. bfaintuou, who
was counsel to two of the prisoners, some severe ob.
aervations fell from him respecting the Police and
oven the Government, which excited great applause
in the hall. The PltielDZST, however, called him to
order, and stated, mat he ought not to be prood of
applauses which Could only come from thieves" pros-
titutes. and enemies of the public peace.
