AotA lagt Nl:tro.,tl Ney had made furious speeches
sigainst the t. rind the Nobility.
A 1-stper N Is announced, which is not signed. The
King's Commissioners opposed its being read, and it
was decided that it should not he. -

M. de Time', Director of Engineers, slia, that he
knew that the Mai she( had held speechee, hut that he
did not hear them.

The following are the speeches attributed to him :

it nation as ours—but he would hare us go back to
the tenth century." He was often heard to say si-
milar things, but his conduct did not correspond with
-Ahem.

The Mini..ter of P.lira sent a note c..ntaining a
supplement to M. Beauregattl's declaration, which
was read.

A letter from the Sienr Belsquet, printer, at Be..
to the Keeper of the Seats, deflated that the
writer had heard in the passage-boat at Bezieres, a
conversation, in which it was said that Ney, after
having quitted the King, had been in Ptattche Comte,
and issued a Proclamation engaging the troops to em-
bace the cause of Bonaparte.
A Captain of the ad of the Line declared, that
at the end of March, Marshal Ney being at Conde,
caused several Officers to come to him, and said,
that if they had seen him with the King to caress
kiln, it was only to deceive him the better—that he
was attached for life to Bonaparte-

Another Captain of the 41td related the speech of
the Marshal at Conde.

A letter was read from the King's Adsocate at
ilt•thune, stating that a superior Officer had heard it
said to his cousin, that the Marshal had said that in
setting off for the army in March last, he had his
carriage full of Proclamations from Ilonaurte.
A letter was read from the Sieur FachiT:formerly
Chief of Provisions, who related a conversation he
had with the Marshal since the King's return, which
proved that the Marshal was attached to the King.

LONDON:

TIIIISUAIf, NOVE.tiaIER 11, 1815.

No French Papers having mired at a late hour''
this forenoon, we are unable to give any further
particulars (if Marshal Nay's trial, than tile short
sketch, from a private source, which we submit of
the proceedings of the second day. l'he question of
competency had not come on to be discussed when
the writer of this brief report closed his comn►uniea-
tion. After the papers relative to the offences charged
areal, read (a curious prculiarity in the proceedings of
the French Camino& Courts), the Marshal will be
introduced, and it is thought will then protest
anew against the jurisdiction of the Council of War,
when the question will be argued. But who is to
decide this important point ? The Court itself which
has assumed this very questionable power ! The mass
of evidence brought against NaY is, no doubt, suffi-
cient to condemn him ; but it appears tope and
siosatisfactory on the whole, and in many in•
stance+, presents a strange solvate of ridiculous

absurdi,ies. The chief uitnesses oho are made to
depose in support of the prosecution, are persons
whom NET bad arrested, or ordered to be removed
from places of trust when he joined the standard of
BoNAPAnTE; and prominent among these accusing
voices is Gen. BoußMoaT, who, when Ns r commu-
nicated to him and Gen. LSE°LME the Proclama-
tion sent to him by NAPOLEON, for their advice what
he ought to do, replied, that `► the Bouinovms had
committed great faults, and might to be abandoned !'►
and who followed glorying in the train of NAPOLEON
to the frontier, and abandoned him there with ail his
Staff, and the troops he commanded, by gniog over
to the Allies, just before the battle of Waterloo !
This is the evidence upon which Nev is to be con.
sided of criminal defection ! The whole.of time ea-
positions, however, made on this trial, appear to
have as much the object of establishing the in-
' nocence of the parties who are implicated, and
brought forward on this occasion, as of crimi-
eating NE,Y; and one would imagine from
some circumstances, that this opportunity had
been afforded merely for this purpose. But the re-
sult will show the intent. It will be observed, that
the secrets of the conspiracy, which had been pre-
viously carried on, and tied led to the retorts of
NAPOLEON, are very well kept throughout the dis-
closures; anti that though some statements are made
regarding it, they are of so vague and floating a cha•
racter as to furnish an tangible around of accusation.
Some private advises assert, that NEv's condemnation
is certain, end that it will excite but little corn.
miseration, on account of his conduct in the Chamber
of Peers, whets he returned from the battle of Mont
St. Jean. lie then declared, that nothing but nego-
tiations Could save the country, end threw powerful
obstacles in the way of the Nlinister and the Empe-
ror, when they were for usit g every effort to rally.
and recruit the arm}, and continue their opposition
to lovas' . Ile has now seen how far neenciatione
have protected France from the anticipated horrors,
and contributed to his own smsfety. Paris, however,
is awake to thii prosecution, this growing manifesta-
tion of the sanguinary spirit of a Bourbon Govern-
ment.

It is not expected to terminate without
occnsiening some expiosioe. Strong commotions
have already been manifested. The Duke of WEL-
LINGTON, though his troops are aided by the
National Guards and the l'olice, finds it impossible
to maintain public tranquillity, and has requested re.
inforcements to he sent to him. We also Lind from
the illoniteur that the Allied troops, who are to leave
France, cannot wholly evacuee •the French terri-
tory at present, the Official Journals says, " not
before some time in• the course of next month, bo-
cause the measures for securing thrir subsistence on
the march cannot be carried into effect within a legs
period!" This is a peer and ill disguided reason for
the Allied troops continuing in France, and iv only
intended to conceal the reel cause of the unhappiness
of that country, which it cannot but prolong. and
the unsatisfactory progress of those arrangements
which were to lead to a general peace. It is as-
i tatted, and appearances give consistency to the report,
that a demur has t.iken place in the negotiation of the
Treaty, which has renewed all the fears felt on this
i head. The French Mini.try is mach divided on
this subject and that of the measures taken to
ensure the safety of the Government ; and one of
• our Correspondents asserts, that a change must and
is about to take place, the ultra Royalists requiring
the resignation of the more liberal and lenient party,
at the head of whom are BUM MARIVOIS, VAti'
BLANC, &c. Some OtirelottidelitS state that the
• conclusion of the Convention is suspended on ac-
count of the title Mile:neva of the French Ministers to

act with justice town-els the British creditor'', who

have had their property seyoestrated or conficated
during the were of the revolution. The Brussels
Papers, however, speak of the conclusion of a se.
C ((((( I Con Testlloll, lint UP know not if any thing of
this kind is stivillsted in it. The Paris Journals had
before said. that alterations of the prnpossal Convott.
Lion with Fmnrine 111;1 oecupied the attention of the
Allied and French Nlinedets ; anti the """Y
pected delays in the filial signature of the ten-
der either of the reports KP l::tve alluded to, pro.
bable. Certain it is that loud CASI LEREAC II fel%
not yet arrived, nor has 110 Tr.lll,V, though we are
told they both are expected 1.%. tour.

According to the nm..•ded (...or volition, the num-
ber of Allied Troops rery.toomg in France wilt be
200.000, instead of 150.000 ; an increase, which
seems required by the state of the county, as de.
scribed by some other articles in these Papers. At
Nismes there have been new comrnotions, in which
many more Protestants have been murdered, awl
tf eir houses plundered. One TKESTAILLON, whose
ar►est as a rine-leader of the Catholic rioters, tans
slated lately by the French Journalists, had esciteil
a more serious tumult than they represented. In
the North, violence.; often occur, and there appears
to he some hesitation as to the surrender of the three
French fortresses, Valenciennes, Rouchain, and
Conde; for the Prussian troops, which sere relit..
jog by that frontier, have recei►ed orders to halt.
although they will not form the garrisons of them.—
The important fortress of Menus is allotted, nut to
the Germanic Body, but to Austria.

BR 1N OINEURGII, OCT. 31.—His Majesty the King
has been plea4ed to make known to the departments
which it concerns, that with the eacep►ion of those
troops that are to remain in France, the rest of the
army, both troops of the line and Landwehr, is to re.
turn home to its °tin provinces. The troops of the
line are to be divided into brigades, each of two re.
giments of infantry and two of cavalry, and will have
the chief cities in the province for their standing
quartets. In each of the chief cities the brigades are
to be dislocated ; they detach battalions and Fquadrons
to garrison the other towns and frontier fortresses,
and relieve those garrisons at stated periods. In
this manner all accumulation of troops is prevented,
and the burden attending standing armies not only
much Irssened, but, by a judicious division of the
military through all the provinces of the kingdom, a
beneficial circulation of money be promoted. The
land* ehr are to repair to the different departments;
the farther regul:tions concerning its constitution,
&c. is delayed to a future time, in order to establish

the qyatem of national defence in a manner suitable

to the times and local circumstances.

The. sudden order issued on Saturday for the

not founded in fact, appear to be justified by the re-

cealed and projected insurrection.
