ttccouut of what befel himself upon his return
from Corsica7. hither he had been Sent by
prince Metternich and sir 0. Stuart, with the
oflVr of an assylum to Murat. (su his arrival
at Marseilles, he was arrested by M. de Hiviere,
and grossly reviled by him, for having been an
adberent of Murat, and having obtained for
him the protection of Austria, fie was tuen;
ti ougti acting uuder the authority of passports
au credentials exhibited to the marquis, and
admitted by him to be perfectly regular, throwu
into a dungeon, and treated with the greatest
harshness. In this state he was kept for about
three-weeks," and then sent a prisoner to Paris,
where, after strict examinations, according to
the truly inquisitorial forms of the Frebcb pro
ceeding, he was finally set at liberty. .'
During those examinations, he was interro
gated as to the circumstances of Bei thier's de
cease ; and Having mentioned, that he beard of
his having been put to death by orders, he w as
told,' that there was a connection supposed to
have been traced between - that aveut -and the
mysterious 'death of a ereat personage at Pan's,
in October or November, 1814. M. MenOrs,
secretary of M. de Cazes, the minister of po-
iicte. in order to obtain from him what he
knew, said, that " a great persouage had died
at Paris, under circumstances of the greatest
mystery, privacy aud. suspicion. That his
death, &e. had beeu witnessed, and at that time,
bod been kuown ooly to two individuals. 7 He.
added, that the death of this personage, and the
murder of l5erthrer, wereTivt particularly eon-
uecled, and that oae was the cousequeuce of
tee other," M. Macirone answered, that UI
