(BI a CONSEQUENTLY
The Duke OF Rchelieu presented to the
Chamber of Peers the royal ordinance for
the trial of Marshal NEY, and the 70 low
my remarkable passage is contained in his
speech 1--WE say that the Chamber owes
to the world striking reparatioIr-it
must be prompt in order to reprcss the
Indignation that springs up on every side {:
you will not pernit his impunity to be any
longer protracted, and to engender new
scourges, more terrible perhaps than
those we have just escaped. The decision
of the Court Martial is triumph for the
tactious. Their joy must be made short,
or it viii become fatal. We conjure you
therefore, and in the name OF the king we
command you TO proceed Immediately to
the trial of Marshal Ney." This furious
denunciaton may be regarded as the death
warrant of this great captain, who falls ut
the mandate of 4 man who has been go
vernon of a Russian province, whilst Ney
was the ornament Of the French army and
the terror of its enemies.
The speech of the virtuous Lanjunais a
gainst the law that has been passed to pun
ish the French people FOR sedition against
their Legitimate sovereign, has been pub
lished at Paris to the number of $4,000
copies. He has been charged before the
chamber with having been accessory to IT'S
publication. as Tin imitation Of the rules Of
the English house of Lords, no person has
a right.to publish the speeches of peers
without rendering himself liable to be pun
ished tor contempt. We shall see whe-
Their count Lanjuna (who is considered as
a royalisO but who has always been re-
marked for his moderation, will be punish
ed for publishing his own speech
Mr.. Labetoyere, brother OF the general
of that name, who was lately shot at Pa
rs4 was a second lieutenant in the body
guard of the king. He was presented to
his Majesty on being promoted TO the rank
of lieutenant the 9Th of October last.-
Louis said to him, NJ. dc Labedoyere,
am happy-very happy to see YOU" 1t is
not meptioned whether Labedoyere was in
mourning for his brother.
The above is an instance of stupid in
senslblty Gin monarch-no uncommon
t'iing) but in a mother somewhat more rare
To the Disgrace of human nature, however,
it must be recorded, that the mother of
this murdered patriot and hero said, at the
time when his pa don was solicited in vain
OF a oowardly tyrint, " hope that God
will not be as Just towards my son as is the
king" She did not carry the fanatic fury
of her royaiism sol far as to wish his dam
nation.
One of the most influential persons and
most voluole speakers in the chamber of
deputies is M. Hyde de .NeupnIe-It will
be recollected that he and his brother quit
France at the time of the explosion of the
Internal machine in the Rue St. Nicase Gin
the contrivance of which they were accu-
sed of having partIcipated) and resided in
the neighbourhoo of this city until the re-
turn of the Bourbons carried them back.
1t was .NeEUiHe, who negotiated the ar
rangement between general Moreau and
the Quondam king of Hartwell, and who
asserted, (ere he embarked in this port last
summer, about weeks before news arm
we'd of the battle of Mount St. John) that
the Bourbons had gained Fouche and hoped
to seduce Garnet.
On the 9th OF February, 1915, the pleni-
potentiaries of the allied powers Assem-
bled in Congress at Vienna signed most
curious convention respecting the abolition
OF the negro slave trade, in which " they
declare in the face Of Europe, that regar-
ding the abolition Of the negro slave trade
as measure worthy of their attention,
contormable to the spirit Of the age, and to
the generous principles of their august So
vereIgns, they are animated with the de-
sire OF concurrlng in the most prompt exc
cution of this measure but will pursue it
with just regard for the Interests, habits.
and even the prejudices of their subjects.
This declaration is not to be understood as
affe cting the period within which each
power may think proper to abolish the slave
trade, which viii be the object of a negoti-
alton among the powers" Not a word is
said of the slave trade in Poles, Saxons,
Bclglans, and Italians, in which these "a u-
gust sovereigns" have dealt so iargely-t
IN the mean time the English continue
to capture the slave ships Of those nations
who refuse TO abolish, because they want
cultvators for their colonies, whist the
English colonies are well stocked.
