prisoner with Cutaiel Rochemont, a member 
of the legion of honour, and they were both 
sent.on their parole, to reside at Chesterfield. 
At Atherstone, in Warwickshire, where they 
slept, the colonel had been robbed of property 
to the amount of nearly seventeen hundred 
pounds, which wes not missed by him till his 
arrival in Chesterfield. ~He then gave infor- 
mation of the robbery to the commissary, who 
wrote to the transport hoard, andthe board made 
application to the innkeeper, at Atherstone, 
as it was supposed that some of his servants 
must have committed the depredation. The 
innkeeper, after searching his premises and 
his people; from certain circumstances sus- 
pected that the colonel’s companion, was thie 
thief. Accordingly he immediately set off 
post, with an attorney, for Cheeteriield. 
Having procured constables to assist them, 
the innkeeper and the attorney went to the 
house where M. Meant lodged. .A constable 
knocked at hig room door ; he upened it 3 the 
constable told him the commissary wanted 
him; he appeared startled and attempted to 
retire, but was prevented by the rest rushing 
in upon him. ‘They informed him of their 
business, and began to search his apartment. 
While they were doing this, he swallowed a 
prepared dose of poison so deliberately, that 
they thought he was taking a cordial. Ina 
few minutes afterwards be got hold of a pen- 
knife, unnoticed, and desperately stabbed

on the bed, but the force of four men couid 
not hold him down; with excessive difficulty 
che was at length bound down with strong 
cords, after he had broken the bed to pieces 
with strugyling. He refused totake any thing 
_f0 counteract the poison, and though his 
‘mouth was forced open, and an emetic pourec 
dn it, he held bjs breath and spurted it out

again. He continued to cry out; ‘* No live! 
No live! Die! Die!” Ile afterwards made 
a form of a will, confessed the robbery, and 
desiring to be commended to his family, 
(a wife and six children) in France, he 
expired. His savage determination - to 
die was dreadful beyond all description. 
When his hands were fettered, he resisted 
with his teeth, and bit the frame of a chair 
quite in two. He was a man of consi- 
derable property, and had upwards of a thou- 
sand pouncs worth of goid dust and other 
valuables in his possession.
