why the pollee vests remained at Madams Len:mire's door,

You have to understand that very grave indications se-
cumulate to justify the ateturtions against the Duke de
Pullin of having murdered hie wife I—Oh, no, no, gentle-
men, tell me that this is not so. It is impossible. He—ha—
who could not bear to see one of his children suffer. No—
tell me not that they ere serious Tell me that it is a sus-
, picion which will not justify itself. No, no. It is harem-
sible. (Falling on her knew and joining her hands). Oh,
tell me this, sir, I pray you I My God ! you say that to me
which 1 cannot believe. My 0011ftialle• tells me that it is
not the truth. But if it is a fact, great God, it is I who
would become culpable—l, who loved so much his children—
I who adored them—l have been criminal—l have not
known how to resign myself to my lot. I have written
letters to them—letter which you may see. I said that I
could no more live, that I found myself in the presence of
misery ; for I MI a poor abandoned creature, without other
resources than an old grandfather, who is severe, and who
has threatened to deprive me of the little which he put by
for me. I wee frightened at the future lot which might
befall me. Oh, how, how wrong I have been ! I should
have said to them that I could have adapted myself to my
situation—that I °kid be happy in my little chamber, end
that they should forget me and love their mother. When
I quitted the house I Ins driven to such despair that I
wished to die. I had a phial of laudanum—they unhappily
recalled me to life, and life is very sad for me. I had been
during six years in that house so happy in the middle of
these children, who loved me, and whom I loved more than
life—life wee insupportable to me without them, and I have
said it—it is my cre—it is I who am culpable. State it,
sir. Write it. He will have demanded this unhappy letter
—she refused it, and then ! Oh, it is I who am guilty ;
Write it, sir.
Such a state of excitement cannot apparently belong to
sentiments which can exist between these children and you.
Is it to these children, and to these children only, that you
addressed the letters of despair of which you have spoken ?
Yes, sir, the excitement may belong to all these sentiments.
Do you not understand that I—And then I should not
like to reply, that finding Id. de Praslin wan so kind and
generous towards me, a deep feeling of affection for the father
was added to the affection which I felt for the children; but,
never, never, did I carry into that house either trouble or
adultery. I would not have done so on any account, from
respect for the children. I believe that I should have con-
taminated my daughters if I had embraced them after I had
become thus culpable.
Is it that you cannot comprehend that we can love honour-
ably —I feel that I have done wrong in making use of the
words my daughters (ass which I did not employ ;
when I wrote to them I to say " wee enfans" sometimes
in speaking to all this little body.
This sentiment of tenderness was then shared by Id.
Praslin 2—Ne. M. de Freebie had for me no excitement of 1
. . .

tenderiser—but the children were then in in-health—the
mother treated them roughly.
But if we are led to dunk that M. de Pratlin is the author
of the crime, can we ever he made to believe that he com-
mitted it to protect his children against the bad treatment of
their mother?—No, sir, that would not be the motive; what
excited him, what carried him beyond himself, was the fear
of a process of separation, with which the duchess mu with-
out ceasing menacing him. He saw in that a great misfor-
tune for his children ; the ruin of their fortune; and he was
disposed to do all that was possible to avoid it. He had been
informed of this process by M. Bleat, notarT, who also informed
me of it. The Abbi Gallard also mentioned it to me, and
the Duke de Prealin prayed me to submit to everything
from madame, which I promised to him, and I would have
made every sacrifice. When what ha since taken place
occurred I had not the courage to meet it, and I demanded
that unhappy letter which must have ruined all, because
Mme. Lemaire did not find the letter of the 19th sufficient,
which you ought to have among the papers seised at my
residence. _ . .

We are very far, then, from the result of the first answers
ma to the nature of the sentiment which alienated you from
Madame Friuli's. It is no longer jealous suspicion■, disci.
pated as quickly as they arise, and which would have left
behind them no resentment. On the contrary, it touches on
the most earious troubles which can be carried into a resi-
dence, since from it was to result a project of judicial sepa-
ration. Your departure was not the result of a first mani-
festation of jealousy. Yon were sustained by the husband
against the wife, and it was necessary to call for the inter-
vention of the marshal.—These resentments were manifested
hot at the last moment, and I was ignorant es to the
degree of weight to attach to them. M. de Praslin never
manifisted towards me any feeling other than friendship
and esteem, and I protest, to use the word, that he has never
been my lover.
However, you have quitted the house a month ; during
that interval lettere have passed which you acknowledged
that you bad the culpability of writing. In this interval,
too, are to be placed several visits which M. de Praslin
made to you—three, at least. Yesterday evening you
were invited to present yourself at the house, to demand a
letter from the duchess, and it was yesterday morning that
the duchess perished by useasination.—l can only persist in
my preceding answers. Nothing criminal had passed
between M. de Nadia and myself, and for the future there
was no project of anything criminal. Should Madame de
Praslin naturally have died, and M. de Praslin have offered
' me his hand, for the interests of his children I would never
have consented to a sismalliance of which the conse-
quences would have fallen on them. No more should I
have had an idea Many other connexion. If M. de Praelin
had loved me, 1 might have sacrificed my reputation—my
life ; but I should not have wished it would wet a hair of
her head to his wife. I say the truth. You ought to believe
me, gentlemen. Is there not in nature an accent which
carries with it conviction? You ought to feel it. No, never,

110 TOT.
The four

of letters which are now shown

to you, are they in your handwriting —n,
One of these letters presents a phrase the meaning of
which is not determined. It is that which commences thus :
" You do not speak to me of your father. I hope that he is
well, and continues to have courage. It seems to me that I
should be loss unhappy if I were sure of suffering." . .
Will you finish your thought there ?—lt is probable that I
wished to terminate that phrase by the " seule;" or by the
words "pour VOUS WWI." I stopped, but I cannot tell why.
I, perhaps, may have thought that it was better that I
should not speak to these young ladies of their father.—You
were right in that feeling, but precisely because the letter
contains the express= of a sentiment of which the
daughters ought not to be the confidante—That sentiment
was, perhaps, but an affection expressed in a more lively
manner than was felt, but which had nothing but honour
with it. It was the result of six yean of living in common.

Mlle. de Imasi's second examination took place before the
Court of Peers. Having stated that the governesses who
preceded her had informed her that differences frequently
existed between the duke and duchess, and cautioned her to
use the utmost circumspection,
Did you observe this circumspection ?—During a long time
there was no necessity for it, far I lived with the children
apart in the house. I observed nothing.
At what time did any change in this mode of life take
place I—When the children began to grow up. The father
had much more intercourse with them, and of course, and
necessarily, with me, because I was always with them.
Madame de Prashn kept herself aloof, because she went
much into society in Pans, and lived with her father; and
In the country she kept very much to herself in her own
apartment. She even had her meals served apart fre-
quently. I suppose that resulted from some circumstances
between herself and H. de Preslin with which I am un-

acquainted.
Did you not endeavour, however, aa it teemed to be
your duty to do, to being the children and their mother u
much urpoesible together in heart and spirit ?—I frequently
endeavoured to come to an anderetending with lime. de

with her intentions her children. She told me

she addressed to him upon the manner in which he
managed their household. In the beginning, Mdme. de

I, ohe„ the real Wisslist which this sort of strife
upon the children, had not the power of pre-
via/1w the mule More recently, the excessive un-
hinges with which my pupils inspired me prevented my
being completely impartial in these questions which arose
every day, and I could not attempt to bring beck to Madams
de Probst those whom she had voluntanly, or at least im-
prudamtly, alienated.
In what you have been saying, you evidently endeavour to
throw the whole blame upon Madame de Fatalist; but
surely the de le calamity which has terminated her life
ought to er you more circumspect in your judgment of
her. From the way in which you speak, there ia reason to
inspect that you did not do what you were bound to do, to
pet an end to a state of things so deplorable, and to bring

back to the mother the affections of karchadres,upon width I
she had so many claims—of those children over whom yen
exercised an alma* ambits control. The evidence of that
control is given under their hand, and under your ewe. There
is reason to believe, then, that you have been far from con-
ducting younelf, under these unhappy cireumgenote, as you
ought to have done.—l wish, above all things, that no
one should accuse me of want of respect for the memory of
Madame de Prulin ; but you demand the truth of me, and
I wish to tell you the whole truth. Ido not blame her
heart or her sentiments, but her character, at times Irritable
and difficult, which rendered her incapable of bringing up so
many children, differing so completely in age, intelligence,
and character. She wanted altogether that abandon-
ment in her tenderness for them—that ease which gains
that heart of youth. Irritable in little things, when there
was necessity for indulgence; me showed herself, on the
other band, as if in compensation for this fruitless rigour,
too weak when circumstances would have required the seve-
rity of a mother. These were the reasons that induced M.
de Praslin to insist on an education completely apart; but,
unhappily, his apathetic habits, and the pleasure which he
found in the society of his daughters, induced him to relax,
little by little, so fares he was concerned, in this anent of
separation. This irritated Madame de Praslin, for hitherto
the submitted, without any apparent difficulty, to the esta-
blished order of things. From the time deny entrance into
the house, she told me that things would go on so, and that
she should abstain from interference until her daughters
came out.
It would appear from what you say that the whole of the
authority which Madame de Pnslin had lost over her chil-
dren, you had acquired. It wee your duty to have pre-
vented such a result, which involves you in a great meager*
in the lamentable consequences which have followed.—l
hare never said, " I shall wean from this mother the
affections of her children, and engross them myself." But
I loved them, and devoted myself to them. Their plea-
sures were my pleasures—their troubles my troubles For see
years, night and day, I watched over them. These children
loved me with all the ardour of their age ; and I felt foe
them all the affection which one can feel at mine. I was
without family—without friends. All my sentiments were
concentrated upon duties that were at ones may and
agreeable.
Did there not come • nuthent when you perceived that
you were a cause of dissension between M. and Madame de
Praslin ; and did you do what was in your power to put an
end to such a state of things I—As to that, I at first thought
it a matter of very little consequence, on amount of the
facility with which I sew Madame de Prattle receiving the
same impressions with respect to others who came in con-
tact with her husband. More lately, when these einem-
stances appeared, I had a clear and straightforward ex-
planation with her. She then seemed to regard this sus-
ceptibility Si a great excess of amour propre on my part,
looking to the secondary position which I occupied, both
with respect to her aad M. de Praslin. Hurt at finding
myself rebuffed in a course which I believed honourable, I
refrained from recurring to the subject. As to the children,
I say again, could not a mother win them back had she been
to disposed ?
In your answers to the questions put to you, the whole
blame is thrown upon the Duchess de Preslin. It is very
distressing to hear such language from your mouth, partieu.
luly to these who have heard the letters which have been
read, and who are aware of the provision of a pension made
to you as the reward of your services in her family.—You
have questioned me upon the coons pursued in the educe-
tion of the children of M. de Prulin. I have endeavoured
to make my explanations as clear as possible. As to that '
which is personal to myself, the conduct of Madame de
Prulin has been towards me, as it has been towards those
whom she knew, and even whom she loved beet, very
I unequal, and often incomprehensible. I have often
had much to endure in my wooer propre, in all my
' feelings. At other times I have been treated by her with
interest and affection. Frequently, an hour after she had
bitterly reproached me with the influence which I exercised
in her family, she would send for me to avail herself of that
very influence in forwarding some design or desire which
she entertained. Often after some cruel injury, she would
make me a rich present, and even in the last days of my so-
journ in the house, when, having refused to meet me at
table, I appeared in the eyes of the whole house to have been
rather dismissed than honourably parted with, Modems de
Praslin having met me by chance, suddenly manifested the
greatest kindness, OA in the most amicable time, and even
sent me some books to distract my attention.
This is only an additional proof of her kindness ?—Bat
such kindness is itself only a proof that her displeasure re-
rutted from the irritation of a character of which she was not
mistress, rather than front what she believed to be serious
fade.
This irritation of character was, alas ! but too well
founded; and did you not, by your letters to he de Prolix
and his children alter leaving the house, endeavour to keep
it alive 1-0 h ! I most solemnly assure you that in these
letters was neither act nor design. I was overwhelmed with
grief, and expressed my despair with too much warmth and
impetuosity. Now, indeed, I reproach myself with that.
After some further observations, the Chancellor observed,
at the end of every answer you utter &reproach on Madame
de Praalin.—Mdlle. de Luesi, weeping, replied : I wish I
could not have said that which I have been obliged to say.
She is dead. I wish I could purchase her life at the price of
my own—yes, at the price of my own : not only at the
price of my own life, but of the most horrible tortures.
Who has witnessed, as I hays, during six years, every fold
of her existence, every minute detail of her life? Who'
can appreciate, as I can, the extraordinary ineompethen-
Fable versatility which enabled Madame de Pullin =
Isom wrath to gaiety, from disdain to gentleness, from
nee to kindness? I assure you that I feel my part moat die-
tresping. Oh! never, except before you—never would I have
proffered other words than those of respect, of veneration,
and of regret. I tun not defending myself; lam only en-
deavouring to answer clearly.
After your departure from the house of M. de Praslin,
how often did you see him and his children ?—Three times.
Once with his second daughter and his youngest son. The
second time he was alone. He inquired for me at the gate.
The third time was last Tuesday, with his three daughters
end hie youngest son.
When he came to you alone, were you long together ?
Three quieten of an hour. He asked me to get Into his
carriage with him, because he wanted to speak to me.
What was the subject of your conversation ?—lt respected
the education of his third daughter.
At the last interview which you had with him and his'
children what occurred I—When they arrived, the children
were at first very much moved. TIM mad embracing passed
between us. I subsequently told K. Podia that Madame
Lemaire was anxious to give me employment, but in come-
quence of some rumours wished to have a letter of recom-
mendation from Madame de Praslin. [The witness rhea
recounted :the conversation, which has been already pub-
lished on this subject, and continued.) de "'mai
quitted me some moments after. Our last words being,
To-merrow, to-morrow," for we were all to have met at
12 o'clock on the following day, and it was agreed that I
should make some conciliatory and deferential approach to
Madame de Praslin.

When M. de Paulin quitted you, did you remark any
particular excitement in his manner ?—No ; he •
calm.
Have you ever heard out of the mouth of M. de Praslin
anything that would lead you to think that ha meditated
such desperate extremities I—By everything I hold most
sacred in the world, never, n . Ido not know If lam
permitted to detail some facts which I aloes know, and
which prove that the violence was not on the die of M. de
Prentiss. I have frequently heard Madame de Paths *tastes
to put an end to her days. Onoe at Vaudintll aba valsopisd
to de so, and, in disarming her, M. de Pisgah' rsesirsd a
wound in the hand ; another time at Dieppe, at du end of
an explanation between honed and her husband, of whisk I
was not witness, but which I and the Whim overheard in
the chamber in which we were, she nobsd into tbs anet,
threatening to throw herself into the sewed by thaistesnao
inconsistency of character, which I ha= alnitilig stialsed, M.
de Praslin found her at midnight In • rhea inaldngoes=,
chases, and perfectly calm. Always upon thaw
multiplied as they were, IC de Pras was aim, impassible,
and full of sweetness.

that demean the family of the duke did not take their
meals, se usual, with the marshal. The duke and the chil-
dren tack their meal, en the ground floor, and the duchess
took ben is the boudoir. At that period Mlle. Berths de
Pntalin mos taken ill of the scarletine, and, as the duchess
was not *owed to see her child, she slept several nights in
the chamber of Josephine, the attendant of the young ladies.
When the duke became aware of this he waa very angry, and
dismissed the woman on the 16th, refusing even to allow her
to remain some day* in the hotel. Whilst the family was at
Pradin, when they went in the first days of July, the
dames took her meals with her husband and children.
Whilst they were there the duke came several times to Paris,
but the duchess did not leave the chateau.
M. Maavitne, valet de chambre in the service of the
Duchess d'Orleans, who had previously lived for many years
in the Praha family, and who lived with his wife in the
Preslin, stated that the duke and duchess lived on good
terms until Mlle. de Lout entered the family, when she alie-
nated the affections of the duke and the children from the
duchess. This fact, he added, was notorious to all persons
admitted in the family.
Mme. Maarinna, wife of the preceding witness, who had
been in the service of the mother of the duchess, and had
ever since been attached to the person of the duchess, also
stated that the duke and his wife appeared to live on good
terms until Mlle. de Luszi entered the family. Previous to
that the duchess had sow-times wept at the duke's warmth
of temper, and at his thwarting her ; but the duke never ill-
treated her. When, however, Mlle. de Luzzi came, things
became much more painful and serious to the duchess. It
was a matter of notoriety to the domestics that attempts
were made to separate the children from her, and to deprive
her of their affection. The duchess never complained to
the witness, but she often wept when she was alone, and her
pocket handkerchiefs were constantly found wet with tears.
The general opinion was that the duke bad an adulterous
connexion with Mlle. de Lead. Two months ago Marshal
Sibeatiani learned that the duchess was not happy, and a
violent explanation took place in the family circle. The
duke and duchess then ceased, as already stated, to dine
with the marshal; the former taking his meals with his
children, the latter alone. Mlle. de Lnui could not bear
the sight of the girl Josephine after she learned that she had
allowed the duchess to sleep in her room, in order to be near
her sick child.

THE CONCIERGE of the HOTEL BRINPARD stated that be
had beard talk of the bad terms on wtlich the duke and
duchess were together. The wife of this witness also gave
similar testimony; and she added, that it was generally
stated, that an improper connexion existed between the duke
are Mdlle. de Lursi. She had not herself noticed anything
preying the existence of guilty relations ; but she said she
knew that she was a bad woman, and eke had always felt a
repulsive feeling against her. One day Millie. de Lout re-
marked to her, as if reproachfully, that the duchess had not
shed a single tear on the departure of her eldest daughter
for Corsica, when Mdlle. de Imali accompanied the duke;
but the witness remarked that people who do not weep often
suffer more than those who do.

tunate lady in the month of May, 1842. They are all in
