LONDON. June 24.

The bold and celebrated Advocate Mons. d'Epremenil is closely confined in the Isle of St. Margaret, in a room 15 feet square; he requested the indulgence of walking on the terrace of the fort for the benefit of the air, but that favour was refused. The Abbe Sabatier, who was to be fixed at Arles in Provence, is removed to the Chateau or Castle of If.

M. de Calonne, first Advocate General of the Parliament of Aix in Provence, made the following speech, after reading the edict that establishes the Plenary Court: "The present edict, gentlemen, annihilates all the homage formerly paid to our constitution we are the guardians the preservers, and the defenders of it; our oath, the interest of our country, the fidelity we owe to our Sovereign, the compact of our union, all force us to declare: that we had rather die than see the rights of our country invaded. It would be a heinous crime to the State not to sacrifice our lives, for its sake. No offer to acquiesce in any criminal project can ever be proposed to our magistracy. gentlemen, let us adopt the maxim of a great man, "after the glory of doing good, the greatest happiness is to suffer for having done it." The duty of our assembly, and the powerful voice of our conscience, do not permit us to be the tame witness of an infringement of all the laws and the rights of men; we can no longer confine ourselves to barely declaring, as we have done hitherto, that we come to no deliberation at all on the subject in question; but, following the example of the great Magistrates who have preceded us, we must oppose ourselves, for the King's interest, for the sake of our charge, and the love we owe to our country, to the registering the edict in question; and we farther require, that this our opposition be recorded in our Register-books, and the minutes of our Journal; calling, to witness our resistance and our fidelity, this august and venerable Senate."
