Considering that one of the essential characteristics of
the offence of swindling consists in the employment of
fraudulent man euvres to induce a belief in the reality of
bubble undertakings, or of imaginary influence or credit, or
in fraudulently giving rise to hopes or fears of a chimerical
event; considering that even supposing Cabet to bare been
in the wrong in publising in the Popufaire newspaper that
he had obtained a grant of a million of acres of land at a
time when the treaty bad not yet been accepted, still that
advertisement cannot he treated as a fraudulent mazneuvre,
seeing that Calm had actually taken steps to obtain
the said grant ; considering that, admitting that the mem-
bers of the first and second advanced guard went to Texas
upon the faith of the promises and assurances of Cabot, and
admitting that they were compelled to abandon tho posi-
tions designated in consequence of disasters and sickness,
the responsibility of these facts, imputable to the want of
foresight of Cabot, do not fall within the scope of the penal
laws ; considering that the sums of money handed over to
Cabot were not intended to be applied in the purchase of
land, and that such sums were paid to Cabet in pursuance
of an agreement that all the members of the Icarian Society
should give up all that they possessed in favour of the com-
munity ; considering that it is not proved that Cabot ap-
propriated to himself any part of the money so paid to him ;
considering that it was also not proved that Cabet had ap-
propriated to linmelf any part of the moveables belonging
to ltousset and his wife, and others, the court quashed the
judgment, and discharged Cabot from the sentence that
bad been pronounced against him.
General La Hitte has been appointed president of

General Guillabert, commanding the second divi-

Yesterday, an attempt at assassination was made
in a suburb of Paris, under circumstances which have
stirred some sensation. :A young lady of 17, who had
expressed strong opposition to the intention of her
mother to contract a second marriage, repaired to the
house of the accepted suitor, and said, on being ad-
mitted, " I wish to know if you persist in your design
to marry my mother?" On receiving an answer
in the affirmative, the girl, who is of a highly re-
spectable family, drew from beneath her mantelet a
istol, which sfie instantly discharged at her inter-
locutor.
The ball graced his shoulder, and lodged in
the wall. The young lady was eonditeted to the
commissary of police, and after having been interro-
gated was ylaced at the disposal of the peocureur of
the republic.
