Five y ears after, being with • detachment of my regiment that escorted the Emperor when he went to be crowned King of Italy, I contrived to learn the whole story.— I was told that the jealous husband, Count , had found attached to his wife's lied an English watch, the property of a young man in the little town which they resided.
