TIM NATIONAL. ItFAISTER. /146 I am: innocent. I have bt lieved you, and I trust that those laws, whose fall rigour you have felt, will soon restore you to honor, and to your country." The Pi esident then having asked the accused whether he had any thing to add to his defence, St. Claire, much af fected, replied, " 1 shall be brief in what I have to say. The great explanations have taken place: your moments are pre cious. The question is now, whether you will restore an hottest man to society, or tvhether you will banish from it a monster, an assavin, a cruel being, whose term our language wants terms to characterize. That is what you are going to do ; if you retain any suspicions, do not hesitate; fear not to deprive our country of one .of her bsave defenders. I prefer dcarh to the longest life. I request above all that you will remote from me those deg rading presumptions which may attach to a brave man. O n referring to the austere principles of morality, my life may offer some errors. On referring to those of honour and probity, none." The Jury then retired to deliberate, and at the expiration of an hour, declared the following verdict :—First, by a ma jot ity of six voices to one, yes, Antoine Series de St. Claire, Captain of Grenadiers of the thirty-first Regiment, is guilty of the homicide committed the 14th November last, on the person of Cornelia Kersmaker ; secondly, by a majority of six voices to one, yes, he has committed that crime wilfully; third, by the same majority, no, he has not committed it with premeditation. In consequence, Serres de St. Claire is condemned to forced labour for life, to be degraded at the head of the Guard, to pay the expence of the proceedings, end, besides, t'n the impression of the judgment, and the post up of three bundled copies. St. Claire was not present. The President ordered his judgment to be read to him in presence of the Guard. The Recorder went to perform this sad duty, after having asked, in virtue of the Law of the 24th of Ventore, year it, that Antoine de St. Claire he degraded from the legion of honour. Meanwhile the Judges remained in their seats: at the expi ration of a quarter of an hour, St. Claire advanced with a calin countenance, said a few words in a low tone of voice to Advocate, and aver having pressed his hand with affec tion, placed himsel on the seat of the accused. "St. Claire," said the President, " you have offended againSt honour." •• Never"--exclaimed Sr. Claire, springing from his seat, and at the same time striking himself with a dagger which he had concealed. The genscrarmes rushed upon him, and he fell into their arms, then Oetaching himself his cross of ho nour, " bete it is, President, let no one take it from me—l die—for my last consolation declare, that i have not at tempted the life of any one." Meanwhile his blood Rowed' in (orients through the large wound which he had inflicted a little below his heart. A surgeon, who had been examined as a witness in the proceedings, was immediately called to his ossistance, and he was led back to the prison of the Abbam The terrible impression which this affecting scene produced rm spectators little accustomed to see crime united to such noble sentiments of honour, may easily be conceived. Some of the Judges themselves could not deny their tears to him whsrut they had condemned. Attorn es, Mr. Vindle, John•str. Whitley, ,Lippe► Dawson-street, In T.
