When, in 1848, the French National Assembly
deliberated on the despatch, by General Cavaignac, of a
French army to Civita-Veochis to protect the Pope, the
Emperor Napoleon, who was thee Citizen Bonaparte, wrote
this letter to the Conatitisionact newspaper:—" Sir,—
Knowing that my absence in the vote on the expedition to
' Civita-Vecchia was remarked, I think it right to declare
that, though resolved to support all measures calculated to
guarantee the liberty and authority of the Sovereign Pontiff,
I, nevertheless, could not by my vote approve of a military

demonstration which seems to me perilous, even foe the
sacred intereste it is desired to protect, and which is cal-
culated to oompromiae European peace. —L. N. BosAraffs.

The Universe, a weekly illustrated journal at
Paris, says :—" The first of the Samosa, the grandfather of
that dynasty of executioners which has reigned for so many
years in Paris, was really a m►n of good birth ; hisname Was
Banton de Longal, and he waa an allow In the army. He
one day fell in love with a young girl, the daughter of the
executioner of Rouen, married her, and succeeded to his
fatherin-law. What a subject for a drama that incideat
would furnish with such a title ea 'The Young Nobleman,
or the Executioner from Love!' "
