The news of the sentrrnder of the k.atta:o to the
French troops, so long t zoeted, has been preceded
by a new engagement hetwwn the latter, the Rus-
sians, and the Monreneg•ins. Ile French attacked
these latter oa the 6:h it v. to drive them from the
Ragusan territory. Tots operati.m was direA:d by
Generals Lauriston and Moli•or in person. The
following is the account of it in the French official
paper of this day:
On the Roth of July, General Lewiston set off
from Ragusa, and General Molitor from Stamm.
They placed the Russian and Montenegrin troors
between two fires, killed a great number, drove
them from Ragusa, and pursued them to the moun-
tains of Montenegro. They took from them a
great quantity of artillery, including eight 96-pot::d.
•rs, and •ome mortars.

The Montenegrins committed the greatest ex-
cesses against the wretched inhabitants of Canade,
and of the province of Ragusa, during the time
that the French troops, shut up in that place. left
them masters of the different provinces.
The inhabitants of Ragusa behaved well, and en-
dured, with courage, the devastation of their coun-
try. These unimportant combats, have, however,
ceased ; the Russians have re imbarked. and returned
to Corsa. It is said, but the news wants confirm i-
lion, that the Catholic inliabitaats have got possession
of Cattaro, and defend it against the Greeks and
the Montenegrins. The Catholic inhabitants are
'widow partisans of the French.
On the morning of Wednesday, July 25, be-
tween twelve and one o'clock, a men at Paris as-
sassinated his wife. and afterwards killed himself.
Their children were in bed, near the parents, and
heard the last groans of the in and his vietim.
The cause of this atrocity is said to be as follows:
One of the most distinguished Magistrates under
the old Monarchy, had emigrated with his wife
and daughter, aged nine years. Soon afterwards,
to preserve for his daughter the property that de-
volved to her, by inhoi itance, from her other rela-
tions, he sent her to France. and intrusted her to
the care of his former hair-dresser, whom he had
made his trustee. The girl was seduced, at the age I
of 15, by this man's son, and was on the print of
becoming a mother, when her relatives, who were
joined by her father himself, appeared before the
Tribunals. to demand the nomination of another
trustee. '1 he new trustee, and the counsel of tl•e
family. opposed the marriage which the hair-
dresser's son was desirous of contraifting with tte
unfortunate girl ; but having attained the age of
'2l, she monied him. contrary to the wishes of her
father, and the whole family. Ever since that
time, she had continually received the worst treat.
anent from her husband. The day preceding her
death, she had been taking a walk, with bet ser-
vant, on the Boulevards, and proposed to her to
sleep from home, as if fearful of some mischance;
she, however, resolved to return. It appears, that
this young woman had ben; for same time deter-
mined on a separation from her husband. On her
chimney-piece was found a letter horn her father.
stating, that in case she was obliged to have reeraym
