The Trial d araal nesalne. th
dl
sLxNTZx3 or D.ATH. d
The great trial at Versailles concluded
on Wednesday, and Judgment was passed
upon Marhal Bassine. At half-past four
odoe k, Maitre Lebaoud having coneludedv
his speech, the Deo d'Aumale rose and a
asked the Marshbal if be had anything more E
to add.
In the midst or profound silence, Marshal
amsane rose. He said :-" I bear on my v
breast two words, a Honor' and I' Country.' 9
They have been my motto for the 40 year..s
during which I have served Franee alike
at Met and elsewhere. I swear it beore
Christ." The Marshal was pale, and be
aspeared deeply moved. His vole was
elear and sonorouas.
The President rose to state that the sit- o
tilg was suspended for an indefinite time.
Immediately afterwards, the 2"mws corres
poadent states, the Court retired and a
letatahment of Gendarmerie Mobile was
brought into the hall, which cleared a part
of the body of the room. The Marshal
retired, as he did so, taking a last look at
the crowd. In conformity with the
custom of court-martial, the aoused was
not present while the sentence was read,
and this, in consequesne was the last
time that the Marshal appeared in the
hall. Daring the absence of the Couneil
the oofficer in attenance reminded thbsea
present of the penalties to wLich those ea
prmesieg approbation or dlsworobation
would epose themselves. Tb eenwd
awaited with marked impatience the re
turn of the Council, eod the most varied
opinions were expressed as to the result of
their deliberation. At eight, o'clock the
textof tl questions 1 ut to the court was
ciroulated in the Press Gallery. It appeared
from thibsBdooment that the Court had in
trodaed a fourth qtestion by plittlug up
the paragraph of.Article 210, and it was
coetluded that the condemnation to death
might be avoided, and that degradation
alone would be, in all probability, the sen
tence prenounced. The crowd, which took
the most varied views, at times, .-hor~w
belived there would be a sn enw o death
. r em~a " wuun was not received
with dissatisfactIon. At half-past eight
o'clock a captain of the guard informed
the public that the utmost silence must be
kept during the reading of the sentence.
A short time afterwards the words were
called out. "Lse Conseill Debout!" The
gendarmerie shouldered arms, and there
was the deepest silence throughout the
hall. The Council then entered. At this
moment the appearance of the Audience
Hall was truly striking.
The Due d'Aumale, in a clear and ener
getic voice,pronounoed the following judg
ment:
"In the name of the French people, the
Council of War, etc., delivers the following
judgment :-Frangos Achill-Basaine, Mar
shalof Franoe is he guilty, firstly, of hav
ing capitulated before the enemy In the
open Aeld t-Unanimously, Yes. Secondly,
had this capitulation the effect of making
those under his command lay down their
arms .-Unanimously, Yes. Thirdly, is
he guilty of having negotiated with the
enemy before having done everything
prescribed by duty and honor t-Unani
mously, Yes. Fourthly, is he guilty of
having surrendered a fortified place, the
protection of which had been entrusted to
him t-Unanimously, Yes. In consequenee
of this, Marshal Basaine is condemned to
the penalty of death, with military degra
dation, and ceasee to belong to the Legion
Honor; and, besides, is condemned to pay
the expense of the trial as regards the
State. The Council orders that the sea
tence shall be read to the Marshal in pri
son, in presence of the assembled guard
under arms."
A mournful silence succeeded these
words, and the sitting then closed. The
crowd left silently by the different pas
sages. Outside the night was dark, and
the avenues of the Trianon were only oc
casionally lighted up by the lamps of car
riages driving towards the-railway station.
After the delivery of the judgment all
members of the Conrt signed an appeal for
mercy, and the Due d'Anmale left at once
to lay it before Marshal MacMahon. Mar
shal Basaine, on herling the seitence read,
manifested the greatest agitatlon, and ex
pressed a wish to have his son with him
twent4-four hours.

THIE RESPONSIILITY FOR T'HE BE L rNO UP
l., to OF THE MONARCHISTS.
of the A brisk controversy has been going on
ads between the Legitimist and Right Centre a
erepro apers, as to the cause of the failure of the t
i Restoration, and as to the meaning of the
co prolongation of pwers. M. Herve, of the I
aways Journal de Pans, Insists that it was the I
t. Comte de Chambord who made the mon
tse t. aroby impossible, by declaring that he a
L sch would give no guarantee, and forcing the a
wident white ieg on the country. The imverse a
y an.r on the contrary, maintains that it was the I
I. parliamentarians who ruined the eause by I
assets insisting on conditions which they veryl
well knew the Prince could never accept.
, mo We mustasy that the Legitimists have the I
alrt best of the argument. It was very well I
known all along that the Comte de Cham- i
bord would not consent to a bargain, or to ,
ell a Constitution wbleh was "imposed" on
him; but then it was equally well known
__ that be did not mean to " grant" a Con- t

it would seem so tho 'the discovery that

in sthem to jib im edaly. This is where
they were most unreasonable, as it seems
with to us; for the very fact that the King

i.i beother question so to the mesning of

Mrs. Kent thought that ladies ought to

the and could not see any one. A fear that

on- message was the reason for this common
a a social untruth, but if it could be commonly
ng accepted in society that this lie was an
ws enormity she did not think that any one

Mrs. Miller agreed with the first speaker,
and thought that a reform in this respect

of it. He seemed conscious of his power I

pledge himself and the incoming Adminis

constitutional law to accept that exposition

LIaE the judicial authorities. He started at this,
became excited and violently declared he

"is treason ; that would make me agree to

after- that he was not required to admit the car
e A. rectness of any particular ease, but merely
The to submit to it as the decision of the high
Wious est.tribunal, from which there could be no
first appeal except to the sword.
I the ,eu will see that if such a pledge as this
