TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - observe that Mr. Warburton has given notice of his intention to introduce his Bill to facilitate the study of anatomy ; although I look upon the outcry against the source whence it is proposed to procure dead bodies, as originating in very equivocal philanthropy, yet thousands respond to it, and I fear the time is not arrived for such an enactment, without painful excitement in many. That medicine is one of the most useful of the arts, that a knowledge of anatomy is necessary to practise it with success, and that something must be done to facilitate this study, are propositions universally admitted. But is there no other mode than by devoting the bodies of the poor who die in workhouses to the dissecting-room, fur preventing the atrocious crime of 'lurking? There is: Place the hospitals throughout this country on the same footing as those abro id, and the demand for subjects lutist be diminished two.thirds. Let Mr. Warburton obtain a Committee to inquire into the system of our hospitals, and he will find out, in its working, it is more atrocious than Barking itself. Every county his its public hospital, where the knowledge of diseases might not only be learned, but during the examinations made of those patients who die, students might well learn the anatomy of the head, chest, and abdomen, and also many of the important ope rations in surgery, with what is called surgical anatomy, without materially disfiguring the body. Yet, will you believe it, these institutions are shut up from the students of medicine under enormous penalties, for I can call the large fees exacted for permission to attend on the practice in them nothing but penalties; the evil of causing more subjects to be required—of sending half educated men afloat to practise—is not all, for in open hospitals, the number of cured always bear a larger porportion than in ch,se hospitals, the cases of the patients not being suffi ciently investigated to ascertain their true nature and proper treatment in the latter. remain, your obedient servant, Gloucester, vec. IS, 1831. CIIIRURGUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—As you are in th:• habit of reporting the leading articles of the Morning Papers, many of your readers here and in the neighbourhood are somewhat surprised that you should have omitted one published in the Morning Herald of Wednesday, on the subject of the late trials of the Lnrhion Assurance Offices. Surely this matter is of sufficient importance to the public to be made the subject of a few observations on your part, for whatever may be the honourable conduct of some Assurance Companies, it is a fact not to be denied that, as things at present stand, a life policy is any thing but a satisfactory document. If Directors and Managers of Life Offices grant assurances, and continue for years to receive the premium on such assurance, I would ask you, Mr. Editor, whether or not the assured had not a reason able right to assume that such an acquiescence on the part of such Directors that they were satisfied with the basis of their contract, should not bind them both morally and legally to the performance of it ? But what is the state of the case ? Do they ever demur to the reception of the premium ? Do they ever throw difficulties or objec tions to the validity of the policy while the party lives? I answer no; but when the same Hie) , becomes a claim on the office, then tooth and nail go Directors, Actuaries, Agents, et hoc genus oinne, in quest of irregularity of coughs, astlimas, and all the and it is a hard case indeed "ills st them that chronic h i o efsnh they h c eis heir o wit y d eases, a niitot ,' s ' addle some of these numerous complaints on the deceased, eith e r by implication or some other means. Now, Mr. Editor, the public have but one way to go to work, and that is simply this. That as every office has it sufficiently in their power to get information re garding the health and habits of a person proposing an as surance, without the possibility of being deceived (that is, if th e y will take the trouble), and when such assurance is effect e d and the party die, however soon or late that may he, and such office refuse to satisfy the claim, then I say, let the public at once set their face against such office, and treat them with that indignation and contempt such conduct deserves. This will have the good effect 01 making them grant assurances with due caution, and satisfying claims with due promptitude. With regard, I remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, Deansgate, Manchester, Dec, 31. POLICY. TRIBUNAL OF FIRST INSTANCE. SUIT FOR ANNULLI24 G THE WILL OF THE DUKE OF BOURBON. THE PRINCE 9 DE ROHAN, V. THE DUKE D'AUMALE AND THE BARONESS DE FELICHERES. Presidency of M. de Belleyme.—Hearings of the 9th and 16th of December. Amidst the political excitement which followed the three great days, public attention was directed with a lively interest to the tragical death of the Duke of Bourbon, whose name had just before ap peared in the Constitutionnel attached to a donation for the heroes of July. A solemn investigation into the circumstances of the death took place, the result of whieh was made known at the time. It was also then announced that a civil process was instituted by the Princes de Bohan against the Duke d'Aumale, the King's son, and the Baroness de Feucheres, to set aside, on the ' ground of deception and instigation, the holograph will by which the Duke of Bourbon constituted the Duke d'Aumale his universal legatee, and be t gileathed a very considerable legacy to the Baroness de Feucheres. The pleadings commenced on the 9th inst., before the First Chamber of the Tribunal, and were ad journed to the 16th. In consequence of the interest felt in the case, the Court was excessively crowded. We here give a complete abstract of M. Henne quin's opening, which was not concluded until the second day. Hennequin—The Duke de Bourbon, after the catastrophe of Vincennes had only exchanged the misfortunes of exile for the troubles which his im mense fortune soon brought upon him in his own country: he died; his last moments were involved in mystery, and the most odious suspicions followed him to the grave. Be his manes appeased ! Rela tionship, friendship, have provided avengers, and light begins to exhibit the real nature of the event of St. Leu. It is no longer believed that a Conde resolved to close the glorious history of his house by the horrors of an ignominious suicide; and I say with confidence that one of the greatest names of our history will be purified from this degrading ac- cusation. Another duty remains to be fulfilled. It is now no longer doubted that the Prince had manifested the strongest repugnance to the idea of choosing the inheritor of his name and patrimony from that branch of his family which marched wider other colours than his; that other demands were indignantly re sisted, and that his resistance greatly surpassed what might have been expected from his age, and the in explicable subjugation in which he had long lived. It is known that in submitting to the law of a do mineering will, he only sought to obtain by the sa crifice of his sentiments and personal inclinations some repose for his latter days, and that it would be in vain to look into what is called his last will for that liberty and independence, which, according to Aguessau, ought to superabound in testamentary acts. The only question, then, which circumstances now become notorious leave to be solved, is, whether the rights of blood should by the silence of the heirs be immolated in favour of a document obtained by the grossest circumvention, and therefore void. The Princes of Rohan have not thought that they ought to follow such a course ; and after fulfilling the duties which a noble alliance imposed on them, they come here to exercise the rights which belong to that re lationship. Issue, in 1757 (quere 1756), of the marriage of Lcuis Joseph de Bourbon and Charlotte Godefride Elizabeth de Rohan-Soubisse, the Prince whom an event so tragical lately precipitated to the tomb, was at all periods of his life remarked for his attachment to the ancient constitution of the kingdom. In 1787, he signed the memorial addressed by the Princes to Louis XVI., in which the rights of the throne and of the two privileged orders were defended. In the month of July, 1789, he left France, and afterwards fought under his father, and by the side of his son. It was in the campaign of 1793, at the attack of the village of Berstheim, that he received that yound in his hand which now contributes to protect his me mory against a disgraceful imputation. The Duke of Bourbon brought back to his country the sentiments he had professed during his emigra tion. He commanded in the west during the hundred days, and after the second restoration paid several visits to England, where he resided in 1818, at the time of his father's death. Returning to render the last hOnours to the conqueror of Johannisberg, who, by his valour on the field of battle, revived the memory of the most illustrious of his ancestors, he fixed himself in France. Here he passed his time at Chantilly, which he never left but with regret, St. Leu, destined to be so fatal to him, and the Palace of Bourbon, built by his father. Placed henceforth between the tombs of his father and his son, separated from his sister, who, not less distinguished for her piety than her birth, had long devoted herself to a religious life, and lived retired with her companions in the ancient palace of the Temple, the Duke of Bourbon was exposed, by his solitude, by the impulse of that loving kindness which was implanted in his soul, and by the im mensity of his fortune, to all sorts of projects and enter prises. Fear not that I shall afflict your hearts by intro ducing into my narrative the bases of a view of the case which may have been attributed to rue, but which certainly is not mine. I come here"to demand justice, not for seduc tions of love, but for artifices of circumvention, and above all for excesses of violence. The Baroness de Feucheres, who, as I am informed, is adorned with the most seductive graces, and endowed, as her letters prove, with much talent, lived near the Prince in 1822, an epoch which I think it right to mark, and as I must presume front the expressions in one of this lady's letters, that it may be intended to hold her up to you as a pattern of disinterestedness, I consider it my duty here to give you a brief sketch of the benefits conferred on her by ' the Prince. In the course of the year 1825, the Baroness received from the Prince 1,000,000 f , as is proved by Nos. 29 and 51 of the Inventory. In 1829 her income drawn from the Prince's treasury amounted to 120,000 francs. On the occasion of her going to the waters she repaired to Rome. She visited Naples, Venice, and the whole of Italy, and this tour was the subject of a correspondence be tween her and the Prince, of which a bad use may be at tempted to be made. It may be said that the Prince en tertained a strong attachment to the Baroness de Feu chores. This e concede to our adversaries. We shall add, that if the testament was merely the price of affection, we should understand the defence ; but it is easy for us to show that affection was not sufficient to produce the will, and that transactions of another kind gave birth to the document now attacked. Therefore, all the Prince's cor respondence, which would otherwise be useless in the cause, will be merely produced to prove the ingratitude of the person who was its object. In 1824, by a will anterior in date to the journey to Aix, the situation of the Baroness de Feucheres was assured. A holograph testament, deli vered into her hands, bequeathed to her Boissy and St. Leu ; the revenues of which were given up to her. We find in the references of the inventory a document in these terms :—" Paid to Madam de Feucheres, July 2d, 1824, 5,000 francs for the first quarter of the revenues of St. Len." It will be seen that this course of anticipating the abandonment of the revenues was afterwards applied to the Forest of Enghien. A visit made to England in 1826 by the Baroness de Feucheres may have productive of farther testimonies of affection on the part of the Prince, numerous proofs or which may be submitted to you without touching the point which constitutes the real question in this case. Certain of the Duke of Bourbon's weakness, the Baroness of Feu cheres had more than one kind of ambition to satisfy. She had no idea of confining herself within the narrow limits of the testament of 1824. She hoped that the certainty of a donation during life would rescue her from the doubts which might attach to a testamentary disposi tion. But, above all things, she desired to have the order of Louis XVIII., forbidding her to visit the Court, re voked, and to the attainment of this object she was at once instigated by her pride and by the allies who had procured her her fortune. The Prince wrote on this subject to the K;ng ; but the revocation, which involved something more marked than simple tolerance, mes with difficulties. The Baroness de Feucheres needed a patronage which had equal power with greater activity. Her individual legacy was sufficient to enrich her, and still leave au immense interest attached to the title of the adopted son, or universal legatee of the Prince of Conde, and it may be easily conceived that a powerful house might be desirous of seeing these titles given to one of its nu merous descendants. But how many difficulties were to he overcome ! Did not the whole political life of the Prince seem to raise an insurmountable barrier against such a scheme? You will now understand the importance of the historical recollections which I submit to you, and which will supply the features of a very remarkable contrast. While the house of Orleans embraced the ideas of Re form and emancipation which were developed in 1789, the house of Conde was invariably attached to the old French Constitution, and took the part of the Crown in the early part of the revolution. Opposed in their political senti ments, the Princes of the two houses differed not lees in their political conduct. Thus, while the Prince of / Conde in private circles never dissembled the little sympathy he felt for the house of Orleans, he never allowed any op. portunity for expressing his attachment to the head of the elder branch of the Bourbons to escape him. Under these circumstances, it was not difficult to divine the Prince's thoughts, and to tell for whom the splendours of Chantilly would be reserved. Another idea prevailed at the Palais Royal. It was a fixed principle of public right in France, that at his acces sion to the throne the monarch should forfeit his per sonal fortune, which he added to the property of the State. Was so much wealth to be bequeathed for this purpose ? Was it not more natural to leave to a prolific family, having so many young shoots, the honour of con tinuing the glory of the Condos ? These reflections arose. The affections, the prejudices perhaps, of the Prince of Conde caused him to entertain them. The head of the house of Orleans, a model of pa ternal tenderness, might especially allow himself to be per goaded by considerations which would find a powerful support in the sentiments of the father of a family. But what difficulties must be surmounted in order to make the subscriber of the memorial of the Princes, and the commandant of the noble caul?) , in the army of Conde, adopt these ideas ! In 1822, owing to the respect in which the Prince held the social and family properties, he stood godfather for one of the sons of the Duke of Orleans. This was a tri umph, no doubt ; but at the period when the attacks com menced, the young Prince could not yet give any indica tion of what he would one day be. It was clever to di rest the attention of the Duke of Bourbon to the young Duke of Nemours, who seemed to unite with the exterior graces which appear to be the portion of all his race, the most amiable disposition and the most generous heart. What could be more ingenious than an article in a journal calculated to give the first direction to the Prince's thoughts, and to tell him what was expected from hint, and by the fiction of the past to prepare the reality of the future. On the 12th of November, 1828, the Aristarchus, referring to an article which appeared on the 11 th iii another paper, expressed itself as follows :- 4 , A journal asserts that his Royal Highness the Duke of Bourbon has made a will, by which the Duke of Nemours, second son of the Duke of Orleans, is appointed his heir, on condition that he shall assume the title of Prince of Conde." We shall see bow this circumstance was appreciated at the Palais Bourbon. The article was immediately followed by a letter from M. de Boonal, secretary to the Duke of Orleans, to M. de Gatigny, st,ward to the Duke of Bourbon. In this letter, which is written with admirable address, the cause of the Palais Royal is ably pleaded. Of this you shall judge by hearing the letter, which is as follows : " The Duke of Orleans has read is several journals of yesterday and to-day an article stating that the Duke of Bourbon has made a will, by which the Duke of Nemours is appointed his heir, on condition of his taking the title of Prince of Conde. On a somewhat similar occasion I had the honour of calling upon you, and requesting you to assure the Duke of Bourbon that their Royal Highnesses and the individuals connected with them were entirely un connected with these reports, as well as the publication of such articles in the Gazettes. As they are now repeated, I must, on the part of their Royal highnesses, request the same favour again. They cannot disguise from themselves how highly advantageous to one of their children and his posterity would he the will which is supposed to have been made, and to inherit the name of Conde, so dear to France and so resplendent with glory. But the senti ments which their Royal Highnesses entertain for their august relative, to whom they are tenderly attached, make them deeply regret that such articles have been published in the journals. I have been commanded to express these sentiments to you, and to request that you will make them known to his Royal Highness the Duke of Bourbon." This letter I have no doubt contained the expression of unfeigned regret, and I admit that the paragraph must have proceeded from some indiscreet friend to whom the illustrious house was not indebted ; but it is certain that the idea expressed in it was understood in another sense at the Palais Bourbon, at least by M. de Gatigny, who laid the letter before the Prince, aeconip tnied by the following note : ~ 1 have the honour to lay before you the accompanying note, the contents of which lam requested to communicate to you. I acquit myself of this task, and your Lordship can without difti. culty judge of the spirit of the epistle.- lihaye put in parenthesis some phrases in this letter which appear a sort .of contradiction to its oommencensent." This, doubtless, is only the opinion of M. Gatigny ; but we come to a circumstance which is connected directly with the Prince. One of his officers having read the article of the 11th, or that of the 12th, in the journals, felt it to be his duty to speak of it to the Prince. "I perceive," said he, " that your Lordship has fixed upon an heir for Chantilly."—" No," replied die Prince, " the idea is Suggested' to me, but you are well aware of my wishes on this subject ; you know whom I intend to have that property." The officer understood him, and in another conversation he satisfied himself that he was not deceived, and that a Prince of the House of Orleans was not pointed at in these words—" you know whom I in tend to have that property." There existed a means of obtaining great influence over the mind of the Prince, but more than one consideration rendered it necessary that it should not be resorted te. cupied solely with considerations of her personal interest, the Baroness of Feucheres wa:, as we have said, absorbed in selfishness; nevertheless, it occurred to her that it would be greatly to her advantage to have her interests united with those of the House of Orleans by the same In fact, of what use would it have been to Madame de Feucheres to have bequeathed te her all the riches of the house of Conde, if such an enormous bequest should excite the indignation of all France, and leaVe her without pa tronage and support ? Would it not be better to confine herself to a legacy of some millions, and to acquire claims to the protection—l was going to say to the gratitude—of an illustrious and powerful house ? What happiness to unite the acquirement of riches with the honours of disin terestedness ! Might not the revocation of the unfortu nate exclusion pronounced by Louis XVIII. be obtained from the easy disposition of Charley X. ? Might it not be hoped from the interest which was about to be conciliated ? This did not remain long in the region of conjecture. It was but two years and a half after the first attack that Madame tie Feucheres adopted the resolution of acting in favour of the house of Orleans ; it was by her that the adoption was proposed, in a letter dated May 1, 1829. This letter is a chef d'ceurre of ability, and every thing which it contains is of importance. It is as follows : My dearest friend,"l—A very important project has occu pied my thoughts for a long time ; but hitherto 1 have not had courage to open my heart to you entirely, from the fear of afflicting you. The moment has arrived when I inn obliged to fulfil a sacred duty to you. Malevolent i.ersons do not cease to proclaim that I wish to take advantage of the tender friendship which you entertain for pie, in order to possess myself of your fortune. Confident of the purity of my intentions in this respect, I have, up to this moment, neglected to take the necessary steps to instil) , myself in the sight of the Royal Family, who I doubt not will render me justice when my conduct shall be known. When, my dearest friend, I saw you so indisposed lately at Chantilly, the most dreadful reflections occurred to me; and indeed if your illness had been of a more serious nature, what would nave been my situation ? I, who at such a moment ought to hope to bestow upon you the most tender attentions{ would be the first to be banished from your presence ou account of the interesting views which I am supposed to entertain' respecting your fortune. Pardon me, my dearest friend, if 1 am compelled here to enter into details too afflicting to my heart ; but I have already told you, that it is a sacred duty I have imposed upon myself, to fm. plo . re ,r y he u w, on soy knees, if it be necessary, to fulfil the duty in cumbent 'p o o rd ne : ,'e ..y r‘iy man friend n rest " and "dearest" are written of whatsoever rank he may be, but throughout these letters i n the English language—the remainder of the letters being, of course, ill French, much moreupon a Prince who bears a name so illustrious as yours. The King and the Royal Family desire that you should make choice of a Prince to be one day heir to your nameand for tune. It is believed that I alone interpose obstacles to the ac. complishment of this wish, and people even go so far as to sup pose that if I were not near you, the hope which is ent er t a i ne d b y the whale Of France would already have been realized. My situation is too painful for me to support longer, and I beseech you, my dearest friend, in the name of the tender attachment which you have expressed for me during so many years, to put an end to my wretchedness by adopting an heir. After much consideration, I am of opinion that Prince d'Aurnale possesses the best title to this high favOur (the adoption). This young Prince is your godson, and is doubly attached to you, by the ties of blood. He, moreover, gives indication, at his tender age, of qualities which would render him worthy of bearing your name. Do not, I conjure you, be deterred by the idea that this adoption will cause you the least embarrassment. Nothing will be changed in your customary manner of living. It is merely a formality which it is necessary to fulfil, and then you will be at ease with respect to the future, and they will leave me with you, without thinking of separating me from you under any circumstances. If, notwithstanding all that I have said, your bruised heart should not incline you to make this adoption, I venture to say that the affection and disinterestedness I have constantly exhi bited towards you entitle me to expect that you should do it for me. You will by this, my dearest friend, secure the favour of the Royal Family, and a less unhappy future for your poor Sophia." Considered by itself, and abstractedly from the known • sentiments of the Prince, this position is conceivable; but she who proposes the project knows that it will find an obstacle in the breast of the Prince, and she anticipates a refusal when she says " do it for your Sophia." A circumstance which will be attentively considered during this investigation, it is now only necessary to men tion :—Madame de Feucheres unknown to the Duke of Bourbon sent a copy of her letter to the Duke of Orleans, who, on the morning of the 2d, sent her a letter for the Duke of Bourbon, with an intimation, that as be was to set out that day for England, lie would call to see Madame de Feucheiel." On the• same morning of the 2d of May, Madame de Feucherei wrote two notes to the Duke of Bourbon,—one enclosing the letter from the Duke of "Orleans, and the other to announce the arrival of that Prince. Tne first wag as follows Dearest,--I have this instant received the enclosed letter tom the Duke of Orleans ; I tremble whilst I send it you ; yet. after all, you cannot be angry with me for it. I assure you I should be wretched if what I have undertaken should fail of sue. cess. Think, dearest, that it is for your Sophia, who has always so tenderly loved you, that you do it." Gentlemen, weigh well the terms of this note, and you will have a correct idea of the reception which the pr - ject proposed in the letter of the preceding day hai ex perienced. The letter of the Duke of Orleans dated Neuilly. May 2, is every thing that it ought to be. Neuilly, May 2, 18 0 9. " I cannot, Sir, resist the desire of declaring to you my se lf , how much I am touched by the step so honourable to her which Madame de Feucheres has taken, and of which she has thought proper to inform me. It would not, doubtless, become me, in a case where it depends on your will alone, whether so great ass advantage shall accrue to one of my children to presume that it will be so before you have made me acquainted with it : but I conceived that it was my duty, and that I was bound by the same blood that flows in both our veins, to express to you how happy I should be to see fresh bonds attach those who are al ready united in so many ways, and hose proud I should be were one of my children destined to bear a name which is so precious to 211 our family, and with which so many glorious recollections are connected." Madame de Feucheres had informed the Duke of Or leans of the proposal she had made to the Prince of Conde: in favour of his house, without the knowledge of the Prince of Conde, and even without informing him of it after wards. We shall see why. The distance between Neuilly and Paris was soon passed. The second note of Madame de Feucheres, written perhaps twenty minutes after the first, wits as follows : • " You have reproached me in so harsh a manner for having written to the Duke of Orleans, that I now feel myself bound to inform you that he will visit me this morning, in order to see you previous to his departure for England. I beseech you do not refuse to come and breakfast with me as usual. The visit will be much less embarrassing to you in this manner, and you will thereby avoid sending a written answer, or saying anything de cisive" (these words are underlined in the originai), " and if you do not come, it will have a very bad effect. If you had rather I should not be present, in that case akv . Duke of Orleans will come to you." The harshness of the reproaches—the fear that the Duke of Bourbon would not visit Madame de Feucheres whilst the Duke of Orleans was with her—the observation that the visit would be less embarrassing in the presence of a third party,—the hint that the Prince might thus dis pense with writing or saying anything decisive—what lan guage could better denote the unfortutate impression that Madame de Feucheres' project had made upon the mind of the Prince? It was only accompanied by a particular bequest of con siderable amount, that the universal bequest was to appear in the will ; tor the interest of the house of Orleans did not so entirely occupy Madame de Feucheres, as to induce her to neglect her own. It was in 1829, about the time when some steps had been taken in favour of the adoption, that a question arose as to comprising the forest of Montmorency in the Ba roness's legacy. The Prince expressed much repugnance on this point, and I will here bring to recollection a cir cumstance which the criminal proceeding brought to light. He could not see, without extreme displeasure, the forest of Enghien,—.the ancient patrimony of his father, —pass into the hands which were stretched forth to re ceive it. A will, much more important than that of 1824, was planned by the notary for the advantage of Madame de Feucheres only; for the question with respect to the uni versal legacy was not yet resolved. In this instrument, which remains incomplete, and is in the number of docu-. tnents in the inventory, the forest of Enghien is added to the domains of St. Leu and De Boissy. After the new and powerful combination had been adopted by Madame de Feucheres, the success of the plan had become the entire occupation of her life, the object of all her actions, of all her thoughts —every thing was merged by her in the hope of success. However, the project encountered in the house of the Prince a resistance the more obstinate, because in his secret thoughts he he lieved that he was about to consummate the sacrifice of all his affections—that he was about to place his life it.. self in peril. Here I must use the language of the facts set forth in the articles :—" When once they shall have obtained what they desire," said he, " when once I shall hare given them every thing, my life may be in danger." These words were not once alone, but frequently heard fall from the Prince by a witness who, in the horror with which a similar idea had struck him, could attribute them only to an extravagant apprehension which the Prince en tertained of a useless and inglorious death. It is not merely using the language of a criminal indictment to say, that to the power of fresh violence and new apprehensions, and under the influence of those fears which new violence had excited, the Prince had determined to sign the testa merit of the 30th of Aug. 1829. The Duke de Bourbon himself described, in the follow ing terms, the moral condition in which he was placed by the constantly renewed scenes by which he was besieged I did not close my eyes during the night. My blood has become dreadfully feverish by these tormenting circum stances. There is nothing more frightful than to be urged with this violence to do an act which is so dis agreeable to me. lam addressed at present on no other subject : my death is the only object they have in view." A witness having observed to the Prince that if he had the firmnea to resist, this would not be so, and that if his Highness would permit him to resist in his name, he would support him with all his power. " No, that would . make matters worse," - said the Prince ; ''you would ear broil yourself with her (speaking of Madame de Feucheres), and that would place we in a bell upon earth with her,w• for you - know her violence." However, the plan of Madame de Feucheres was ar rested. She looked upon it as certain that the Prince would never have the energy to separate from her; that he . was resigned, and that every thing would induce him to endeavour by sacriflces to obtain some repose for his latter (lays; that it was neces3ary to commence a war to the ut.i. termost,—to make a hell of his house, in order to show' him at what 'mice be might purchase peace. Madame de Feucheres was ignorant when she formed this plan, which she followed up with such perseverance, thit the law watched over the free agency of testators, and that that which in appearance seemed at first to ensure the success of her plan would at length bring about its defeat. All the epochs of the will are marked by new scenes. The departure from Chantilly, the favourite residence of the Prince, which he was persuaded to abandon in the month of August, 1829, to come to Paris to corn plete the work of the will, was preceded by a terrible but mysterious scene. _ . The witnesses have, they state, pledged themselves to the Prince not to reveal this scene, which has nothing to do with the charge of assassination. Justice might over. come this objection,,,whi:l would not be made in the case. a civil process, . _ Let us proceed. They had arrived at Paris, and the will was not completed. It was then the Duke de Bour bon conceived the design of having recourse to the gene rosity of the Duke of Orleans himself. " Well," said he to a witness who was the confidant of his griefs, " I see that at last this must end ; 1 have still a string to my bow which I shall try ; it is to have recourse to the Duke of Orleans himself, and to beg of him to induce Madame de Feucherea to set me at rest on this subject ; write a letter for me to this effect, and I will copy it. I will send it to him, and we shell see whether this will have the desired effect." The draught of this letter was prepared fur and sent to the Prince, which he transcribed with his own hand, once as a copy, and again as a letter, which he imme diately sent to the Duke of Orleans. It is neces,ary to read this letter, which proves most incontestably that the Prince never gavu a voluntary assent to the disposition of ,~•~'
