FOREIGN MISCELLANEA.

THE SECRET OF THE REMARKABLE PUBLICATION
of the text of the treaty of 30th March, minus five
articles, in the Indipendanco Beige and the Nord,
came out at the trial of the persons implicated last
Saturday in Paris. It appeared that Brossard, a
pressman in the Imperial Printing-office, lived in the
same house with Lejolivet, the Paris political corre-
spondent of Le Nord and L'lndipendanee. The
result was inevitable. The acquaintance of Brossard
was made by two of M. Lejolivet's employes. The
c:mversation was of course led to the nature of their
respective employments. After a few interviews they
became fast friends. Then the employes hinted at
the use Brossard might be. He, poor fellow, fell
into the trap, first stole a proof of the ceremonial for
churching the Empress, and then, on the 23rd of
April, for a hundred francs, stole one proof-sheet and
part of another containing the text of the treaty. The
sheets were given over to the employes, who pro•
mised the most profound secrecy ; but immediately
made copies and sent them to the Indirpendancs
and Le Nord. On the trial, Brossard, when
interrogated by the court, declared that it was by
mere chance he had brought the copy of the ceremo-
nial of the Empress's churching, having found it
tossing about the office dirty and effaced. Finding
that the document was eagerly received at Lejo-
livet's, he did the same with the treaty of peace, his
only object being to oblige persons who always spoke
to him kindly. Lejolivet, when interrogated, declared
that, being anxious to fill his sheet of correspondence
with as interesting matter as possible, he always
received most eagerly any piece of news or any docu-
ment which he conceived was likely to please his
readers. He admitted that, in order to conceal the
source whence the document of the treaty of peace,
proceeded, he had got a telegraphic despatch gent to
him from Brussels, as if from the editor of the Nord,
containing these words, " I publish to-day the docu-
ment of which I sent you a copy four days back. The
jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Lejolivet•
and Brossard, acquitting the employes. The court
sentenced Lejolivet to two years' imprisonment, and
Brossard to fifteen months of the same punishment.
THE CARDINAL ARCHBISEIOP OF TOURS during the
late inundations showed, like the Emperor Napoleon
said at Ulm, in 1805, that his dignity had not caused,
him to forget " the use of the spade ; " for, seeing
that the dykes were very likely to give way, he went
at the head of his clergy to the dykes and worked
vigorously with pick and shovel in strengthening
them.

Ammer; SENATORS are gaining a rather nn-
enviable notoriety. It was only a few weeks since
that one shot the waiter of an hotel for not
bringing breakfast. On the 27th ult. another, Mr.
Senator Brooks, a slave-state man, made a mur-
derous attack upon Mr. Senator Sumner, a free state
man, for speaking in defence of the rights of slaves.
Mr. Brooks, armed with a thick stick, rushed across
the Senate House, and beat Mr. Sumner over the
head and face so severely that he fell senseless on
the floor. This brutal attack was the next day the
subject of a very warm debate, and a Mr. Wilson,
while remarking that Mr. Sumner had been stricken
down by a " brutal, murderous, and cowardly as-
sault," was interrupted by Mr. Butler, Brooks's friend,
with the exclamation, "You are a liar." The con-
versation, which threatened to end in another row,
was summarily arrested by the Speaker.
