PARIS, January 90
General ExcelmaDs has just been acquit.,

the accusations brought against that gene

Just and free government which we owe 70

military despotism Of Bonapartc, is il not
evident that general Excelmans. suspected
OF corresponding with foreign government,
IN open controversy with the minister under
whose orders he was placed, would have
been condemned, shot perhaps, at least ex
lied or thrown into prison like general Ma.
rescot and general Dupont. The members
OF a council Of war, who should have dared
to acqut man arraigned before them by
Bunaparte would have been noted az the
police as enemies of the state, and all ad :
yaneement in the army would have been
forever interdicted to them. We remem-
Der too well the base solicitations Of Bona.
parte with the Judges OF Moresu. and the
abominable affair OF the jury at Antwerp.
The judges of general Excelmans had no
thing to fear. They would not make court
TO the king bv finding conyicts he seeks
only innocent men and faithful subjects
Besides, the government has displayed in
this little affair as much firmuess as mode
ration. The minister Of war, in bringing
general Excelmans to trial. has shown that
no man will escape his vigilance. Bot ii Vi
glance has exposed the man accused, Jus.
tice is there to examine the act of accuse.

astonished, is that general Excelmans tho't

Of the minister. 1t may, however, be said
that he is EXCUSED by the so recent violence
of arbitrary power. It is so short time
since we have recovered the dignity of man,
that we doubt Of our happiness. We can
hardly persuade ourselves that we arc free,
and the semblance Of tyrant pursoes us even
in the arms of father. Let us learn then
by this novel case, to bless the government
under which We live, and redouble our love

FOR THE ARGUS.

For the information of the members OF the
Union Artillery, who could not make it con-
venient to attend the late meetings of the
company, the following is published.
On Monday evening, 18th inst. a meeting
was held, when the Company was notified
that all the Officers had resigned their
Commissions. On ballot for Captain. a
majority voted for Andrew Stevenson, their
late Captain upon which the minority LEFT
the room, because they had failed to elect
the person proposed by them From this
circumstance, originated the subj oined adj
dress and reply-which being laid before a
majority on Wednesday evening, the Com,
pany was dissolved.
ANDREW STEVENSON, ESQ,
Dear Sir,
We arc requested by the mem.
6ers OF the Union Artillery, "a list of whose
names is enclosed) to state to you their par
ticular desire that you would remain their
Captain. We will not pretend to dissembIe
our approximations, that you may consider
the company so much reduced, as to render
a hope OF its speedy renovation improbable.
we are aware that the detection, the with.
drawal OF so many members, will be to Won
cause OF regret--so sir. it is to us.-But
is oy tar better to confde in few firm
adherents, than in numerous body, half
or wnom censure without cause, and are
led without reflection, by few restless
advisers. to consider necessary discipline:
as tyranny, and the Officer who has indes
pendenee sufficient, not to be ruled by their
ciamors, as an overbearing despot.

path, we shall flourish with more than for.

pare for war; shall we, because the trump

Cloak the first fair day.
Permit, us, in conclusion, to tender to
you the affection of those by whom we are
dePuted, with an assurance from them and

Cherish that regard for you, which was not
