To an address delivered, Gen. La Fay
ettec returned patriotic answer, express
sive of his gratitude for this mark Of re-
spect.
The King of France, on the 3lst Oc-
tOber, addressed letter of thanks to the
National Guards, through General La
Fayette, for their zeal and attachment.
The American ship Louis Philip /.
Benedict master, from Philadelphia, was
saluted on entering the port Of Havre,
with 81 guns, by the cannonneers Of the
National Guard. The ship carried the

THE Ex MINISTER'S.
The Committee of the Chamber OF
Peers are proceeding scrupuously ip the
necessary examination connected with
the trial ofthe Ex Ministers. 1t appears
that the inquiry by the Chamber Of Dep
uties will be passed over, and the docu-
ments of the procedure will be taken
from the time when the Elk Ministers on
tered into office. These immense re-
searches will retard the opening Of tho
trial beyond the term fixed for it. The
pleadings it is believed cannot begin be-
fore the 18th or 90 of December. 1t is
the opinion of the Counsellors retained
for the trial, that it will not last week.
The sentence will therefore be pronounc-
ed amidst the Christmas holidays. The
treatment Of the four prisoners at Vim
cennes, bears no resemblance with that
Of former prisoners. Ii is not accompani-
ed by any unnec cessary rigor. The pris-
oners take their meals tog gether-They
receive their wives, relations and friends.
The prisoners have books, paper and ink.
They receive and read all Journals
M de Chantelauze, whose health is pre-
carious, is in a very weak state. M do
Peyronnet exhibits in his countenance q
cool earnestness and some irritation. He
says but little. M de Polgnac is more
communicative, preserves his courtier-
like manner, and appears calm. M Guer-
non de Ranvillee displays much firmness.
He appears to have raised himself above
the fate that awaits him. He sings and,
at times is very jocular. Since the last in
cursion of the Parisians upon Vincennes,
General Daumesnil has ordered four op-
enings to be made in the outer wall to-
wards Paris, where cannon will be plac-
ed to fire upon such as might make anoth-
er attempt at attack. To persons who
are acquainted with the interior Of the
Castle, it is evident that 500 artillery
men could keep at bay SO 900 men. The
prisoners will continue in this fortress AZ
long as possible, and their removal to
Luxembourg will only be known to tho
public when it shall have been effected.
Every thing is prepared in the prison to
receive them.
Here follows a long account Of the
arrangements made in the new prison,
which it is unnecessary to give. The
prisoners will be confded exclusively
to the keeping of the municipal guards.
Twenty five Of these guards will be cho-
sen from among the workmen who most
distinguished themselves on the three
memorable days at Paris. At the trial
of the Ex-Ministers l6O Peers Of
France will be present, and 42O persons,
not forming part of the Court Of Peers,
may be admitted. Among the places
provided, will be fifty for reporters Of the
public press.
Letters from London Of October 3Oth.
announce that the standard of liberty
was raised at Cadiz, Ferrol and Coroo-
ma; and that Don Miguel had given pos
tive orders to send troops to assist the
Spanish royalists. The greatest activi-
|ty prevails in the English diplomacy.

ter had frequent interviews with the
Duke of Wellington and long conference

BAyoNNE, Oct. 28.-The forces Of
General Nina are divided into two col-
umns; one of which commanded by him.
self. marched on the 26th for Eranant;
and the other, under Valdez, took tho
road of Vera. The latter was attacked
by 5000 troops, and driven back into
France, where they were disarmed. Mi
ma has proceeded on to the interior, a.
gainst the centre of the royalist's line.
Valdez's defeat is ascribed to his diso-
beying the orders Of Nina, in taking q
different route from that directed. Ii
was reported on the 29th, that Valdez
was about to commence his march againss
Arragon.
