The Arkansas advocate., 1830-12-22

which am charged, and solicit your Majesty to receive the homage of my profound respect.
 Tie i.e isoiiiowing Is from the C0trs1 Fralseais.--"1h The proceedings against the Ministers are gradually going OH ill the Chamber of Peers. fine Commit tee are engaged with interrogatories, the the ii.eesftiiifg oi documents and prepafa tory enquiries. It is believed that the public debates will not open before the middle of November. The mode of proceeding during the public debates, IS not yet fixed. The following princi- pies, however, appear likely to serve as the basis of them. The Chamber of Peers will be. considered as a Grand Ju- Y. Each of the members will there- fore have fright to put questions to the prisoners; al! possible latitude will be granted to the defence, which it is said will chiefly turn on two points: ]. if'he Performances of July were within Art. If of the Charter, since 1t has been deemed necessary to cancel that Arti- cle. }. The firing was not begun by the troops but by the citizens, and upon this point witnesses will be produced.
 The Commissioners of the Deputies will support the impeachment; after summing up of Che proceedings, the Court of Peers will assemble secretly to deliberate upon the judgment, Itis thought that several sittifgs will be ta- ken up by secret discussions, in which each Peer may state the grounds of his opinion; moreover, aseries ef questions will be proposed relative to each of the prisoners, and each series will give rise to vote by ballot. glI this gill occu- py a long time. The result of the de- liberatiohs will be made public, and the same form will be adopted as in Courts of Assizes.
 The following letter has been ad- dressed by the Prince de Polignae to the Members of the Commission of In- peachment-
 'Kineer,nes, l2:a October, 1890.
 "GeotIcmen,-I have just read in some of the Journals a letter, which pur- ports to have been addressed te II <. Bur rengerz by q man eos.iiaod in the House Iof Detention at Toulouse, for crime or offence, the nature Of wIiell is not stated, This man pfetends that he has made declarations of high Importance respecting the cenaagratioaa which have desolated some Of our provinces. lie acknowledges himself guilty, and points mo out personally, as the instigator of the crimes he coniesses; and atlirms that =it is in his power to support, by positive proofs, tiliS horrible revelation. Under ordinary circumstances, | should have left if to the good sense of the public to do justice to such an absurd and odious attack; but being under the wicght of an accusation, which opens but too easy an access to every suspicion,i cannot content myself fwith despising an attack so directly personal, and it becomes my duty to take every opportunity for eli citing the truth. The revelations made at Toulouse. relating to plot so infa- nous, ought 10 be fully inycstigated.- Whoevermay be the man that has mad9 them, whatever may be the cause of his arrest, whatever mistrusthe may inspire. his offers cannot be rejected, and at all events my right to accept them cannot be contested. l may, 10 doubt, wait with calmness the moment when shall be permitted, in the presence of my peers. and before the eyes ofall France, to explain every act of my political life; but 1 cannot be ceHdemaed to submit in silence to this public and formal imputa- tion of a crime the most cowardiy and the most hateful. demand, therefore, that the prisoner at Toulouse may be immediately brought to Paris, and that he be interrogated, and confronted with me-thls is an act ctofjustice that cannot. be refused mo.
 "Ihere is another point which my colleague. jointly with myself, think we have right to claim, which is, that the most strictinquiry be immediately made into the coaaagrations that have desola- ted Normandy-that the numerous au- thorities- -chaEgged-by us to discover and prosecute thcinstigators, actors and ac- compliees, be examined-that our cor respondence be inspected and published to the world-and we repeat our assev- eratlon, that the falsity of the allega- tions, like other bold lnsinuatons against Us, will become manifest even to themost prejudiced minds. Accept, &c.
