ter tke communication of the penal"l intelligence, and then
left the place, determined never to see her again. His awe-
Orbits', which were, snappily, but ten well fousided, were
confirmed by MS intercepted letter—the contents of which,

proceeded 'to read the letters in question, which were
couched is :ridiculously passionate terms, and cosiaiwed
allissions which could leave little doubt as la the nature of
the intimacy that bail subsissed. At length the Defeuelant
