This interesting country claims large share
of our attention.
Of Lalayettc's Letter to the Electors Of
Meaux, the correspondent Of the London Morn
ing Chronicle, o. p. O., holds the following
language:
The letter is invaluable 1t is calm, honest
manly protest. Ii is a beacon-a light house
a signaI-a watchman--a tower. If i, be neglect
ed. then woe to Louis Philip! and woe to LN
Ministers. and woe to all those who have peace
at all prices. and new edition of the restoratIG
Of 1915. There Is vet time to save the Sht 4
from convulsion-and avoid anarchy, cTIvn
disputes and con.en;ions-but the moments
which are now passing are precious, as you EI
clearly perceive, before you have come 10 Ne
close of this letter. X
In proof of the temper of the nation, he pc
ceeds to relate the trial of NJ. Galos, profess
of Mathematics, aged 'tWeaty,' who was broV.i
before the Court OF Assizes for having utter;
language at public meeting, tending to PrO'a' |
an attempt against the person and life Of "a
King.
The charge originated out of banquet gl't
on the 9th Of May, to celebrate the acqutlal II
the Republicans, who, you will remember, ssr !
brought to trial on the charge of attempting
overthrow the Government of Jul Y. This ln
of NJ. Gallois is more important! do not r.
collect any circumstance which has for year
past made so great an impression. You will
once see why. when you have read the loIos
lug questions and answers which were put t
and gwen by the accused. They give rise q
painful feelings, but we must look our situate
full in the face, aud act with prudence and hfr
ness.
The President put the following among 0u' a
questions TO the prisoDer:-
Q. At the meeting of which you formed o'S "a
lid you not yourself, drawing knife or POI: q
lrd propose as toast to " Louis Philip"
A. The following is the fact:-Havinga S
II my hand, rose and said, $40 Louis m

isses, the last words not being heard.
Q. No person then heard these last words;
A. No, unless il was those Immediately are.

ame forth on the first part of the sentence
er the impression that meant TO propose "
ly the health of the King. II
=. You therefore conceive that any tOa"
ne health Of the King, was prescribed OF
arty?
a. Certainly!
y. Was this an indication that your Op"
'as that the King merited assasinallon-%,s
your intention TO excite the party to SUI

A. 1t was my wish to excite such an a''~
case Louis Philip should prove to be Wv

A. l meant To say that the measures

Q. The proceedings, then, Of the Govern, ,'sr
