France.
The Senate, sitting as a High Court of Justice (it function in all cases of high treason) has commenced the trial of M. Paul Deroulede, . M. Marcel Haberfc and twenty others on charges of con spiracy. Correspondence which was seized and which hag been produced at the trial, discloses that an alliance existed between the League of Patriots, anti-Semites, Nationalists and BoyaUsts. It also appears from the letters that a year ago the Duke of Orleans authorised M. Andre Buffet, an Orleanist representative who was arrested on the Belgian frontier to expend 800,000 francs (£12,000) for the purchase of the support of labour associations and foment disorder. Ladies also offered large sums to Buffet for the same purpose. Buffet kept the Duke of Orleans informed of all the demonstrations which took place early in the year, and urged him to be in readiness near the frontier. Apparently the failure of attempts to secure the assistance of the army disheartened the Duke, who at the end of August telegraphed to Buffet that there was no present possibility of a resolution, and that they had better await the end of the Dreyfus affair and close the Paria Exhibition.
