POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Paris papers of Thursday bring the sentences on the state prisoners, which Baron Pasquier read in the Court of Peers that afternoon. Quenisset, the principal, Colombier, the owner of the wine- shop, and Just Brazier, are condemned to death. Dufour, having, no doubt, confessed, is sentenced to deportation for life, with Auguste Petit and Jarrasse. Boggio and Mallet are sentenced to fifteen years' deten- tion ; Launois and Boucheron to ten years'. Dupoty is condemned to five years' detention; and Bazin undergoes the same sentence. Bouzet, Considere, Martin, Fougeray, and Prioul, are acquitted.
It is understood that the life of Quenisset will be spared. Specula- tions differ as to the fate of Colombier and Brazier : some assume that they cannot be executed if Quenisset be spared ; others aver that they will be guillotined, probably at the beginning of next week.
A protest against the condemnation of M. Dupoty was in progress of signature among his political friends. Eight hundred names were said to have been already affixed.
