On the 28th ult., at Westmoreland-place, City-road, Jacob Capadose, Esq., upwards of 40 years a member of the Stock Exchange. orgneotnh:t  The President (to Barbcs)—You have heard the preceding depositions. Have you anything to say ? Barbes—l should have much to say, but my situation does not allow me.  President—filere is no political situation which can justify your silence. I must, for humanity's sake, call upon you to refute the testimony adduced. In no country of the world can there be any political situation which can autho. rise a citizen to place himself at the head of armed men to attack and kill soldiers without a declaration of war. Since you speak of war, and certainly I do not admit of the possibility of such a war, you must know that even in an ordinary war there is always a kind of declaration of it. Ido not admit of a civil war in any case. But coldblooded murder ought to be avoided by even men who fight in a civil war. In this case you have placed yourself at the head of men who have committed assassinations. Barbes (with calmness and dignity)—,I have not the slightest intention of entering into a political discussion with you. We should not understand each other. In resitect to my defending myself before you, I have already said that it did not suit me. When the Indian is vanquished—when the fortune of war has placed him in the hands of his enemy—he does not think of de. fending himself—he has not recourse to vain and useless words—he is resigned, and presents his head to the tomahawk. Ido like the Indian—take my head. This produced a great sensation; the President vas about to address Barbes, but seemed confused, and at length asked the prisoner's counsel if they had any questions to put to the witnesses. M. Arago, jun., Barbes' Counsel, then pointed out several discrepancies in the deposition of Meunier, and the evidence he gave before the Court. The Procurear- General was also dissatisfied with the wi.ness, as he had difs fered in Court from what he had deposed to before the Juge &Instruction. The President then called M. Guyot, who had been cited by Barbes' Counsel. The evidence was curious. He deposed to having seen a troop of men come out of the Prefecture of Police on the 12th of May, composed of sergens de vile, and men dressed in plain clothes, but all armed. The Captain asked Guyot to give his services as a surgeon, which he did, and on entering the Court he saw seven or eight brigades, armed and dressed in the same manner, so that it was impossible to distinguish them from the insurgents. M. Guyot again said they ought to guard the interior. Henri Leinonnier and Jean Baptiste Dubaz deposed to the same facts. M. Arago then gave notice that lie should call some witnesses, and the Court rose at half-past five, and adjourned till to-morrow (Sunday).
