where she underwent very long examina-

that is, prevented from having communica-

The firm and digniied conduct Of the
Prince OF Bsnevente, has reduced to nought
the pitiful intrigues so unskilfulIy directed
against him. From the hour his conduct
was brought to the teste, from that hour
his victory was complete and certain; one
would imagine the party are even little
ashamed at having sought to tarnish the
loyalty of man, TO whose efflrts, in great
part, the Bourbons have been twice in
debted for their crown.-The people have
viewed with interest, these attacks, insti-
gated by the very men, who, in the mos
ment OF danger, were parading in the bou
doris OF ephemerai kings and queens, pru-
IDENTITY waiting the issue of the Combat to
swell the train of the conquerer. M. de
Talleyrand remains elefnit,vely at Paris,
and what is astonishing, and what his enc

February 8.
Yesterday, before the kings mass, and
while his Majesty W as passing til oagh the
saloon of the Marshals of France, two
Young men OF the national guard of Paris.
had the honor of presenting him petition.
The object oft was, that his majesty would
grant M. David permission to reside in
France. This petition is signed by all the
pupils of painting, and OF several persons,
distinguished by their rank, and their taste
for the fine arts. The king received it

characteristics him, and promises to consi-
der it.
1t appears that the Englishmen, Wilson,
Hutchinson and Bruce, have opposed the
ordinance ofthe tribunal of the first in
stance, which has rejected their demand
tor provisional liberty under bail. Their
opposition is re ferred to the court royal
The public, ever impatient, would desire
already that the publicity of the debates
would inform them of the details of this
interesting affair but the forms establish
ed by the laws, and their wise delays, are
the safeguard of innocence. The fiji st
process, as is known, is commenced in the
first instances. when the witnesses and the
accused have been interrogated and heard,
the chamber of the council decides if there
be cause of suspicion. Their ordinance
is referred to the court royal, which decides
if there be cause of accusation. In case
of the affirm alive, the act of accusation is
prepared by the Attorney General, and
then this document, as well as all those of
the procedure, are signified to the accused,
and the affair is carried to the next sitting
of the assizes. All these formalities Gre
ate delays, all rigorous and prescribed, I'M
der the pain of nul!ity, by the law. The
Chamber of Peers itself, is not free from
them. Foreigners. whatever may be
their crime against the government. may
expect to experience from the French tri-
bunals the same protection as Frenchmen
I themselves and we are assured, that not
only the protecting forms will be followed
with respect to them, but that they will be
sottened and accelerated as far as their
private interest and the public service will
suffer; and that, in fine. no other affair
will ever have been SO maturely examined,
| or SO promptly decided.
The king, by an ordinance of the 25th of
January, has granted the British Catholics
