LONDON, JULY 13. ^B^HE Paris journals to yesterday's date inclusive & have been received since our last. They are prin- cipally occupied with the trial of the insurgents. The speeches in defence of the prisoners closed on Monday, and the Peers retired to deliberate on the evidence. After three day's close attention to the matter, the Court, on Friday, at nine in the evening, ordered the doors to be thrown open to the public who had tickets. The Chancellor and Peers entered shortly afterwards, and (in the absence of the accused) the Chancellor proceeded to read the judg- ment of the Court, which condemned Armand Bathes, to death, for the murder of Lieut-Dromeau Martin Bernard, to transportation Mialon, to hard labour for life Delsade, Austen, and Phillippet, to fifteen years' imprisonment; Notifies and Martin, to six years'imprisonment; Guiibert, Randel, and Lemeire, to five years' imprisonment; Longuet and Marescal, to three years' imprisonment; Walsch and Pierne, to two years' imprisonment and Bonnet, Libarzie, D njjas, and Gregoire were acquitted. The principal part of the Paris journals appeal for mercy on the part of Barbes, and the general impression is, that the King will remit the capital punishment, as the evidence against him was con- tradictory. All was quiet at Paris on Friday evening. A deputation from the Chamber of Deputies had waited upon the Keeper of the Seals on the subject of introducing a bill for the abolition of the punishment of death in political offences. The discussion of the Budget and the vote of its various items were proceeding rapidly in the Chamber of Deputies. It was believed that the great business of the Session would be terminated in a week or ten days. The Madrid Gazette of the 3d mentions the repulse on the 28th ult., of a band of 200 Cailists, commanded by a cousin of Palillos, who had formed a plan for surprising the village of Villarta in Estremadura, and putting its in- habitants to the sword. The Eco del Comercio states that General Aynar, who defeated Forcadell on the 25th ult. near Lncena, had been attacked on the next day by Ca- brera in person, and obliged to seek refuge in Castellon de la Plana, with the loss of thirty killed and 400 wounded. The journals of the 4th contain little or no intelligence from the armies. General Espartero was still extending his lines and surrounding the insnrgent country, instead of en- tering it and striking at the root of the insurrection. The Carlists, who dread the intrepidity and zeal of General O'Donnell, had formed the plan of carrying him off on his way to Aragon, where he was about to take the command. The declarations made on the 26th in favour of the Consti- tutional cause, by Marshal Soult and M. Dufaure, had oc- casioned a great sensation in the Spanish capital. The funds improved in consequence, the 5 per cents, having been done at 201 for cash, and it was generally believed that the impression produced on the minds of the people by the friendly assurances of France would be favourable to the Candidates of the moderate party. The accounts from Constantinople represent the recovery of the Sultan as hopeless. The Augsbury Gazette of the Cth of July publishes two letters from Constantinople of the 20th of June, the first of which states that the Turkish fleet was still at the Dardanelles, where it was receiving additional troops. The second letter announces that a mes- senger had arrived with dispatches for Admiral Roussin with fresh instructions, directing him to inform the Porte that in case of its provoking a war with Mehemet Ali the responsibility must fall on itself, anti even accompanying this communication with menaces. This new attempt had, it was stated, produced no effect upon the Sultan, and that subsequently Admiral Roussin had not appeared at Court.
