PROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE HERALD.  PARIS, OCT. 5. From the demi.official report of the proceedings in the Chamber of Peers yesterday, which you will find in the Tempt of this day, you will perceive that the trial of the ex-Nlinisters cannot be commenced before the Ist of next month. The intermediate ume will be spent by the accused, no doubt, in preparations for their defence, and by their friends, in exertions to deprecate the public wrath. To prejudge the fate, or speculate upon the lives of men, may not be a matter of good taste, but in an affair of this nature, the public will look for the earliest authentic intelligence with impatience. That which I have ac. quired and am about to communicate, will, I have myself not the least doubt, prove correct. It is from a person peculiarly qualified to pronounce an opinion. Here are his words : The result of the trials will he in exact conformity with the views and the indirect recommendation of the Committee of the Chamber of Dr  puttee, by whom the Act of Accusation was drawn up. Nothing that the human mind can suggest, except another act of clemency on the part of the people more glorious than even their generosity to the Garde Royale, can save Polignac. He will be condemned to death. A slight shade of distinction between his guilt and that of Peyronnet (favourable to the latter) has been drawn in the Report. That distinction will be recognised and adopted by the Peers. Peyronnet will be sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment and confiscation of his property ; Chantelause and Renville will be banished for life." Although lam convinced that this prediction will be verified, I have still hope that the sentence anticipated against the principal of the accused, will not be carried into effect. The King is decidedly against further capital punishments--and, happily, the feeling of the majority of the nation is in union with that of his Majesty. The discussion on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies, this day, on the motion of M. de Tracy, will, it is expected, prove that the sense of that body is against the infliction of the pain of death ; but from that contemplated amelioration of the penal code, the ex-Ministers can hope for nothing, although M. de Polignac, when in conversation with M. (Edellan Banat, at St. boo, seemed to calculate upon it. I repeat that the only chance he has of escape from the sentence of the law, is in a new proof of the predominance of pity and generosity in the bosom of the French over thirst of blood and vengeance.  Bourse, Three o'clock.  The levy of troops ordered by the Ordonnance to be found in the Monikur of this day, has already produced on the Funds its natural consequence. At this moment the price of the Three per Cents have fallen tolgt. Spanish Stocks has equally tumbled—the Reines Perpe. tuella arettlown to 37. lam inclined to think, nevertheless, that this panic is premature, and that the measure in question is merely precautionary, but the accidental absence of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Ministers from the dinner given in London by the Duke of Wellington, at which Prince Talleyrand was present; and the absence of the Ministers of the same Powers from the soirees of Count Mole here, is one which causes considerable uneasiness. The failure of M. Vassal and Co. is for 15,000.000 francs. M. Vassal attempted suicide yesterday, but was fortunately prevented. He sent in his resignation this day as one of the Representatives of Paris in the Chamber of Deputies. You will read with interest the commencement of the debate on the corn laws in the Chamber of Deputies this day, which I enclose. lam informed that the resolution of de Tracy for abolishing capital punishments, and which was to have come on this day in the Chamber of Deputies, has been rejected by the Committee to which it was referred ; but that another, drawn up by M. Beranger, founded on that of M. de Tracy (with qualification, however), is to be introduced this evening in its room. Foul' o'CLocx.  The most gloomy reports respecting commercial houses, considered hitherto as independent of all casualty, are in circulation on the Bourse, and contribute still further to depress the funds. The 3 pe► Cents. have recovered to the extent of 10 centimes.
