      FRANCE . The Mnuntan committee of Permanence , who purposely fixed their day of meeting ou the day aiter XY . aX chosen by the constitutional and legal parliamentary committee ! , duly assembled on Friday last Victor Hugo presided , and about twenty members W ia present . The conversation turned chiefly upon tV . recent occurrences in the Ardec . V . But the committee , following the example of that -which sei tb « day bafore , resolved thai nothing that was gninjr on in the poiiucal world calied for their inte-ferencj .

      THE TRIALS AT LY 0 X 3 . Oa tt \ el 9 ih . after soaia umniyertftnt evidence , Delarue , sergeant in the 8 th Lig ht Infantry , deposed that on his return to Toulon fron ; Africa , in OafcAer last , a sergeant-major , nam ed Boulbain , proposed to him to enter a secret society , the object of « hich was to establish »!¦« « ed ««?" . «» ' « ; H- went from curiosity .

      c oT 3 mis 3 ioned oflkers and sulilitra belonging to secret societies . Tiie oath taken"was , 'I swear in ti \« name of the ciartyrs of Liberty , to die if I am a traitor , " and so on . Wt fness told his ca-jta-r i of all this . Ons of the coiwpirators in a wefiuz once asked him « shat he would do if he \»« re ordered to fire on tbe citizens , and lie had au-wered that he should obey orders . The reply d- < l not seem to give satisfaction . Tbe conspirators t-Ail promised tan , in the event of success , that he should he mads a captain , but he had not con-Eirfsrad U . at seriou ? . The consp irators were divided un quariers and sections . "Witness had seen letters addressed : o Dauraas hunit , After taking

      tbt forts at Toulon , tho insurgents intended to m arch en Draguinau . Their plan was to seduce Sfve . ral hundred workmHn . soldiers , and maiip . es Wuness had never heard the nam . 5 Of Gent pTD * D-uQced , and n ever knew that there was a plot at Lyons . Several other witnesses gave evidence iraplifisting Boulbain , bin he said be knew nothing of th * plot at Lyons , nor of any one concerned in it . He arrived at Toulon in January , 1 S 51 . He h ad not attendt-d ' meetings of a secret society at the house of Daumas ; and he had not negotiated a fv-ioa between it and other societies .

      The declaration tbe witness made before the examining magistrate wa 3 much fuller , and in contradiction to wnat he now said . This gave rise to some discussion between the court and M . Michel ( u > Spurges . ) Several witnesses deposed that an insurrection bad been generally expected . At the sitting of the Court on Monday , the 18 th ins * -, the counsel for the aeeased applied for permi » sion 10 impeach the credit of the government ff : ti ; 9 « 3 es , whenever there * as reason to believe it doubtful , and more particularly that of a witness ti . itss . eA to be of ia ' amous character , who , having winned himself into the confidence of the French

      refugees at Geneva , now professed to betray it . Ths PnbVie Prosecntor opposed ibis , on the ground that the Code of Crimi : ial Proceedings says positively that a witness can only be questioned on nutters relativs to the case ! ' Tha Court , we are told , taking the same view of the matter , gave judgment that tha investigation proposed was not of a nature to aid in tbe demonstration of truth ; that it cauld not be allowed ; and that the certificates presented against the witness should not be accepted . ' After two other witnesses for the prosecution , a commissary of police was called . He admitted that' it was only after Gent's arrest that he bad even heard of the Lyons plot . ' He bad

      thf been charged to make inquiries respecting the ci icter of Gent . Ha had learned that in his yd- J : he was fond of women , pleasures , and piay a n ?) that he was very ambitious . He was also sup . p os ? d to entertain advanced political opinions . In March , 1848 , bis furniture was seized , to pa ; his deUs . It was generally known at Avignon that he Lad committed incest . He had sold for 30 , 000 f . bis share in the fortune of his father . All this information had been given to the witness by men of honour . Thej weie , tntreover , rather of Gent ' s nay of thinking in politics . The unfortunate Gent

      here interposed , and ' appealed to the Court for protection . ' He reminded the Court of the decision it had just given against himself . Surely , if it were incompetent for him to shake the credit of the police witnesses , it was equally so for them to defame him , anonymously . Surely such evidence as thishearsay moreover , could not be interpreted to be * matter ; relative to tbe case / within the meaning of that higuly prized article of the Code of Criminal Proceedings . He , therefore , called on the President to compel the witness ' to state all the truth , and name his informants . ' The President refused

      to do so ; observing that' he could not force the witness to speak , and , moreover , that the police always re / used to give up the names of its agents . ' The counsel for the accused herenpnn drew up their conclusions' ( or 'bill of exceptions , ' as Westminster Hall hath it ) , against the ruling of the president , which were immediately taken into consideration by the full court , and , after argument , unanimously rejected ! The egre gious logic of this judicial iniquity was at the same time thus stated by the court : As the witness has made his Statements on the authority of police reports , and as such reports could not g ive rise to a judicial investigation , there was no reason for taking the measures demanded by Gent and bis advocate ' . '

      On the 20 th M . Pommejean , commissary , of police at Macon , said that he had learned that a democratic congress 'was to he held in that town , and that , on the 28 th October , M . Michel ( de Bourges ) , M . Colfavru , and M . Baune , representatives of the people , arrived at Macon . They were received by a nuojber of persons . The representatives , he was informed , were to have gone into the adjacent villages to preach civil war . Gent remarked that the evidence the witness had given before the examining magistrate was , in many points , a contradiction to what he said now ; and M . Madier de Montjiu observed that , in sna of his reports , the witness bad stated that twenty representatives had been assembled at one time , whereas there had never been more than seven or eight .

      M . Boysset noticed that the witness had declared that he arrived at Macon in the ni ght by the Messafeties , whereas the truth was that he had arrived by the steamer in tbe afternoon . He asserted this on bis honour . The witness said that he was sure tbat M . Boysset had arrived by the Messagcries in the night . M-BaysseJ . —What ? The witness gave him a fiat denial—what an infamous thing . The President said that the witness stated what he believed to be true , but after M . Boyssei ' s decla . cation the court thought him mistaken .

      The witness then said that M . Colfsvru and M . Bain , representatives , who with other persons had gone from Macon into a nei ghbouring village , had neglected to pay their inn bill , and . had excited the workmen to rise ia insurrection against their masters . This statement caused great excitement amongst the advocates , and several of them rose to spsak at the same time . The President requested them to spsak one after the other , and M . Maudier de llon'jau demanded tfcat the words of the witness should be taken down . The witness said he did not mean to charge the two representatives with not baring paid their reckoning at the inn , but the persons who were with thara .

      M . Medier de Montjau remarked that the witness retracted one part of his statement , but nevertheless he required that toe other should he taken down , in order that if thought advisable he mi ght 6 e proceeded against for calumny . Representatives of the people , he said , could not be considered innotable if they were to be calumniated by the police mth impunity . * r tadSS * 1 * ha 5 r dresssr at ArleS , - saidthathe SSS ^ fssssss ££ >* & . ke "" »*¦» " ««« i « oaks ion

      se : zed announcing the sending , to a particular address , of lOOlbs . of 'onion seed '—meaning gunpowder . The letter-was signed with consonants separated by marks , and contained peculiar signs . A man in digging in his fifld once turned up a bottle Containing words and rallying words . The agitation at last warned such a charac ter of -ensemble that witneis was convincedth » t i » foHowed » ome supreme and secret direction . I « s ° ma parts of the department the agitators executed men m effigy , in others ¦ hev insulted the gendarmes ; in others they assembled their adherents , and made them awear on p oignards to be faithful At one place , where the g endarmes dissolved a club , ihsy were ill-treaied by a band ol between 300 and 400 persons , and the men they had arrested * ere rescued . At Jeangeac , a secret meeting was held in a cavern , and arms and ammunition were distributed . On the 11 th of

      November he received a telegraphic despatch anuouueing that an armed nsing had commenced at F / aviac , and tbat Marion and Mallewl were at the head of it j that even if the chiefs were to be arrested , the insurrection would continue , and that fires were to bs lighted on tlia mountains as signals . In consequence oi this hs took precautions . In answer to 11 . Madier de M > utjau and Gent , the prefect said that , notwithstanding the breaking up of the plot , there had been unfortunately within the last eight days serious agitation in the department , that eight gendarmes had been seriously wounded , and that a whole commune had to be

      taken bj assault . Still this agitation mi g ht have heen caused by other causes . Ai the fetes in the Ardeclie titere was always a certain agnation , but not of the character he had noticed . The persons implicated in the affair of St . F ^ rreol had bee « tried-and acquitted . When the agitation had become very serious in the department , and when certain acs had been committed , he had written to thtt . MtuUter of the Interior io say that , in his opisv . j ' . i , a [> riis cutmn ought to ba co : un ; encR ( l . At Sf . A . m ' . Hul batricadeB had been erected . That affair , iak «» in conjunction wiih the affdir at Flaviac , proved thf existence of a plot .

      On the 21 st the Court was crowded to exce . 53 , M . Michel ( de Bourges ) , was unable to attend from indisposition . . M . Loui 3 Grave , formerly sub-prefect of Apt , said that that arrondisseraent was literally swarming with secret societies . He succeeded in becoming acquainted with their secrets . In 1850 the meetings ot the Muntagnards assumed a character of audacity . Thn Canton of Cumet was specially devoled to the Socialists . In the Canton' of Voguet tha Mayor succeeded in obtaining possession of a letter , by which the Socialists were convoked on a particular day . In September , the demagogues

      wished to organise a . banquet of ten thousand persons . In October , a man of republican opinions , iu-ormrd him that Gent bad presided over a numerous meeting at Valence and that thirty departments « ere to take part in an insurrection . In November , the party displayed great activity . It was easy to foresee that a taking of arms was intended , though nothing was formally determined <; u the point . A little later , he was told tbat a great movement was being prepared . After the arrest » i Gent , the demagogues were in consternation—they were completely checkmated . The President of one of their clubs threatened the

      Commissary of police with death , for having closed it , and an att «« i ' pt was made to kill him .. The psrson wno was trkd for tho crime , was , however acquitted . G ni remarked that the aghaiiou which existed in the arrondissement of Apt , bad been increased by the witness having dismissed twenty-five mayors , and closed clubs . M . Madier de Montjau referred to the share the witness had had , when aub > pre ( ect , in the affair of the pretended miracle of a bleeding picture at Saint Saturniu ; but the witness f aid that all . that he had done was to call it extraordinary , and he only did that after the clergy , headed by the Archbishop of Avignon , bad visited it in procession . The demagogues , however , had had nothing to do with that matter .

      Hubert , watchmaker at Apt , said he had refused to attend a meeting of Montagnards on the mountain of the Liheron . At Avignon he was pressed to beloHg to a secret society , and the . members even appointed him / without his consent , president of ic . fie knew the dangerous tendencies of the society , and recommended its members to love work and uphold family tits . They treated him with delereuce and respect , and called him their father * There was a meeting of democratic delegates at

      Valence , but he forgot at what time . At the beginning of November he ceased to occupy himself with politics , and he was superseded as chief of the democratic party at Apt by a man named Michel . He knew , -however , that an insurrectionary movement was organised , and that it was to extend n the adjacent departments . The . accused Petioon had hoc proposed to place witness at the bead of the movement . Witness bad been condemned for having been illegally in possession of gunpowder and bullets .

      M . Combes , commissary of police at Apt , said tbat a lady bad called on him at the end of October , and stated tbat an insurrection was about to break out , and that the signal for it was to be given by fires li g hted on the mountains . A little after he was told that if he bad made a descent , a few days before , into Hubert ' s house , he would have discovered many things , but that it was then too late . One evening he was informed in a public-house by

      Several petsons , that they had been requested to go to the mountains armed ; that Hubert bad ammunition , and that he , had organised the democrats . It , however , became known that Hubert was accustomed to f isit the Sub-Prefect of Apt , and he , in consequence , lost a good deal of his influence with bis party . The secret societies displayed great activity ; there was one at Montdragon . At one of their meetings which witness attended be beard Gent frequently spoken of . .

      M . Colivet , lieutenant of gendarmerie at Apt , bad heard that an insurrection was to break out in November , and tbat a signal for it was to be given by lighting fires on the mountain . Orders were g iven him to arrest Gent . JI . Honorat , Mayor of St . Maximin , department of the Var , had been told in November that an insurrection was to break out on tbe 10 th or the llth . The insurgents , in his district , were divided into seventeen sections , each commanded by a chief . At a given signal , they . were to bave attacked the Marie and seised the muskets . They took as their moito . No pity—no mercy !'

      The President then read the deposition of Captain Blondel , of the gendarmerie at Diagu . ign . au . - it vraa to the effect tbat the plot which existed in the department oi the Var was connected with that of Lyons . Plan , a miner at Mende , department of the Lozera , said , he had been a member of the secret society , called tbe ' J < une Montagne , ' and had taken ah oath on a poigr . atd . Chainboredon , miner , of Mesaeigh , department of Var , had been a member of a secret society , and had taken an oath on a poignard to do all tbat he might be ordered for the Democratic and Social Republic . He was threatened with death in case he should reveal wbat passed in the society . The pass words were * Universal Suffrage and Lyons . ' ¦ '

      M . Guerpillpn , commissary of police at Digne , knew tbat Gent had presided at the congress at Valence , aud that he had written to Longomazino inreadiues 8 . Renvier attended the congress .. The plot was to have broken put on the llth November .- Longomazino was to bave seized the Prefecture of Valence , Rouvier tbe Mairio , and Sauve the ofSceB of the Receiver-General . LoDgomazino before being , arrested said , ' AH will go well—a company of the 25 th Regiment , will declare for us ! and a socialis t , named Roustan , boasted that the day of vengeance bad arrived . Sauve bad been commissary of the Provisional Government at Digne . His administration was bad , Longomazino , originally a' cooper in tbe arsenal at Toulon , received 600 francs from a socialist representative to spread socialist doctrines . He bad made may dupes . - : , .

      Longomazino remarked tbat this was falsehood and calumuy . but tbe President told him that if be repeated eucu language he should be expelled . The wi ness continued .: It was part of the plan of campaign organised ; at Valence to cut off the gas at Blaraeilles , destroy the railing , and burn the town . Gent was at the bead of tbe general movement . In answer to Longomazino , the witness said that he could not state by what means he became acquainted with the / acts he had related ; tbe police hid means of gaining information which it could not r « eaL

      Some of the accmed put questions to witness for the purpoie of showing tbat his statements were unrounded ; Md other * charged him with calumniatmg teen , M . Awoojf , Mayo ? of AHenaagne , department of

      Untitled Article

      the Basse Aljies , said that be was convinced that an insurrectionary movement had been intended ! There had been a certain agitation in Ilia departmem , and Longomazino was a noted agitator . — Thu caurt adjourned . " On the 23 rd Mailiard , a miller at Orange , department of the Vaucluse , deposed that in iUay , 1800 , several psrsous propped to biro to enter a benevolenl aaciety . He consented and paid fifty centimes . Some ' lime after it untntil ou * . tbav the society was a

      secret one , and his formal reception was proceeded to . He was taken to a room with his eyes bandaged ; aittl , kneeling , was made to take an oath to kill the President of ths Republic in the event of his violating the constitution . H « was told that if he did not obey orders he would be killed . Two drawn swords were held over his head , and a man said , ' We baptise ihee a brother Montagnard ! ' The signs of recognition were then explained tftbAm ; they consisted in touching the bead , the nose , and the ears !

      Tbe witness here fixed his eyes on the accused Borcl , and Borel cried , ' Don't presume to look at ma ! ' Whereupon the President shortly observed l ! : at he had no rig ht-to insult a witness . Two oth « r wituesscs gave some trifling evidencf which closed tbe evidence for the prosecution , and ihft Court proceeded to hear witnesses summoned by certain of the accused to give evidence in their favour . . Lintilion , clerk of a notary at Lyons , denied that , as alleged in . the indictment , be had received a packet of printed papers on Socialist suhj « cis trom the accused JBeliiscer . A commissary of police had searched his house , and arrested him , because a letter bad been seized announcing that the papers yrere to be sent to him . After Jour da ' s' detention lie was released , aud he was astonished that his friends in the dock hod not been released also . '

      The President observed thai the Court had no need of his opinion , and that his remark wus impriiper . ¦ Lantillon said he considered that , as Ion ; as he spoke with moderation , the Court was bound to listen . .. ' ¦ The President ordered him to sit down . Turner , commercial traveller , of Tarascon , deposed that oii the 13 th oi January he met the accused Penifoon at Lyons , and that he had told him thai bis visit was merely to treat with some brewers for the supply of a quantity of beer .

      M . Courreut , advocate of Aix , ex-Proeureur-General , declared that the accused Thourel bad not spoken to him of Gent before bis visit to Lyons , but on his return bad informed him that he was to enter into correspondence with that person . Wit * ness remarked to him that the salvation of the Republic consisted in the maintenance of calm , and Thourel said lie v > as of the same opinion . In the affair of Marseilles Thourel displayed great

      devoutedness ; if it had not been lor him the streets would have been drenched with blood . In private life TUourel was ; strictly honourable ; and he was a very able and very karned advocate . Witness held him in the highest esteem , and was proud to share his political convictions .. - As to Gent , witness knew that his conduct was admirable in the disturbances at Marseilles in 1848 . By his entreaties he caused tbe insurgents to abandon the barricades on the Place de Casttsllane .

      m . Taion , avuue of AiS ) said tliat the object of Thuuret's visit to Lyons was io come to an understundin ^ ¦ vith Gent , and other influential men oi the democratic party , to prevent , not to cause an insurrection . Thourel , in witness ' s opinion , was a very honourable and intelligent man . He esteemed him so highly that he could not believe he had ever been concerned in a conspiracy . M . Cote , advocate of Digne , said that in the letter which Thourel had written to Sauve , he had blamed any foolish rising . As to the accused Longomazino his conduct at Digne had heeu very honourable . The accused Bouvier very ¦ rarely visited Digne , though he only resided at ei ght kilomf-traa from it . -

      Jules Duchaffaut , at Digne , bore testimony to the moral character of tbe accused Sauve , and sail ) that M . Dufaure , when Minister of the Interior , wassttuk&Mid vdtU h \ s conduct as sub-prefect ot Furcalquier tbat he intended to give him a more impnrtant post . The nitneas bad never heard anything against Longomazino , and did not think him violent in his political opinions . Rouvier was ah intelligent farmer , and although a republican occupied him little with politics . M . Pierre Bernard , journalist of Paris , knew Delescl « ze , and got him employed to report for the ' Siccle' the visits oi the President of the Republic to Lyons and Strasburg .

      Several other witnessps then deposed to facts in favour of Duponr , Rouvier , Jouvenne , Jean Louis , and Sauve , but there was nothing of the slightest interest in -what they said . ; This completed all the evidence . M . Michel ( de Bmirges ) iutiinated that the counsel for the defence intended to plead that tbe court-martial had no legal p ower to try the prisoners ; and it was settled , after some discussion , that at the next sitting tbe Public Prosecutor should answer that point , and should present his rcquisito ' ry . !" The court thf n adjourned to Monday . M . Michel Bourges and the Other advocates of the accused of Lyftua have renounced the defence . The President will immediately name public officers to defend the accused .

      The councils of arrondissement bave now closed their sessions , and the result of their deliberations on the revision question has sadly disappointed the Elysee . The reports differ as to the exac number of councils thsrt have expressed an opinion on the subject . According to M . E . de Girardin , who published a list , to the accuracy of which there has been no authentic contradition , only 140 out of the 364 have pronounced in favour of revision . On the other hand , the utmost claimed by the partisans of government is 187 , a number exceeding only by five tbe half of the whole . M . Marie , the eminent advocate , who was a member of the provisional government , has publihed a pamphlet addressed to the councils-general , insisting strongly both on the illegality and tlie impolicy of their occupying themselves ' with tbe ouestion of revision . ¦ .:

      The secretary , or I tomme d ' affaires of M . Cremieux , who has been arrested at Lyons , is accused of attempting to seduce the . troops in the garrison from their duty .

      AUSTRIA . The following is the account of the correspondent of tbe ' Times' concerning the celebration of the birthday of the Emperor : ¦—As the behavior of the people during an illumination in . honour of the Soverei gn affords a most favourable opportunity for jud ging of the veal sVatft of public feeling , a short account of the festive proceedings of the evening of the 18 th may not prove without intmst . Of the illumination itself little is to be said , excepting that it was what is here called ' angesagt ? that'is , - printed notices were sent round to the inhabitants of each house , informing them that , as the monarch would for the

      first time since his accession . to the throne pass the anniversary of his brithday in Vienna , it would be well to follow the example given oh the preceding evening by the loyal inhabitants in the neighbourhood of Schonbrnnn , the Emperot ' a summer residence . Placards posted by order of the municipal authorities also announced . that ' the Sovereign would be present at the firet representation of the new opera Casikla , According to ' " the Vienna papers , the streets swam in a sea of light , ' but the truth is , that with the exception of the public offices and' the Henmarkt barracks , the illumination was infinitely inferior to any which tas taken place sillCC I have known Venice . TranspareWes there were none ' . The Emperor , who did not appear at the Opera , drove through the streets for about half an hour in the course of the evening . As I was

      coming out of the 'Burg' theatre , at about hallput nine , the Monarch , Sn aii opan cairiage , drove at a sharp trot along Kohlmarkt up to the palace . Two or three yards before : tbe holes' heads ran some six or seven boyE , ' shouting ' ' Vivat' with might aud main , while close around and behind the carriage figured a most disorder ^ mob , ihe Jike of which has certainly not been seen in the streets of the city since tho month of-October , . 1849 . The two rows of well-dressed but . silent spectators which lined each side of the Kublmaikt appeared to regard with no little astonishment the preceedings of the coatless mea fcbo > , ' rushed ill wild disorder past them .

' - The resistance which the Cabinet of Vienna has met with relative to the annexation of all her provinces to the Germanic Confederation will doubt less iaduce her to abandon the prov-ct . The Cabinet of S t . Peiers . burgh itself is now opposed to the project .

      , At the head of the list ol Knig hts of the Legion of Honour , lately created by the President of the Republic , figures the widow Brtilon , nnrn in 1771 , at present an officer in the Invalides , where she has lived for the last fi ty-two years , enjoying Mi * esteem and veneration of her old companions in glory .

Her father snvt-ti thirty-eight years without interruption , from 1757 to 1795 ; her two brothers w ^ r * killed on the field of battle in Italy , and her husband died at Ajaccin in 1791 , after seven years ' service . 1792 , at tl e age of twentv . one , she entered the 42 nd Regiment

      of Infantry , in which her husband died , and when her father still aerved , and made herself so remarkable by her honourable conduct , both . as a worn m and a soldier , that she was permitted to continue in the service notwithstanding her sex . She was attached to that regiment for seven years ( from 1792- to 1799 , ) wul petfo * tn 6 d seven campaigns , under thenom de guerre ot'Liberte' as'private soldier , corporal , sergeant , and sergeant major .

      . The feats of courage and the irreproachable life of this extraordinary woman , ate attested by all the general officers undtr whose orders she served , and One-of them , General Lacombe St . Michel , described her in a letter written on the 15 th Frimaire , j ' eac XIV ., to . Marshal ; Scrurier , ' then'Governor of the Invalides , ' as having rendered . herself . worthy , tiy qualities above her sex , to participate in the rewards reserved for the brave .
