A correspondent of the Quo/Minute, adverting to the re_
collections which this event calls up, gives the following
piquant anecdote, as one which has hitherto escaped all the
historians of this disaatrons period —When the Royal Family,
arrested in their attempted flight from France, were on their
rshe►nfron %%anina; to Paris, The latiplitet leaving remarked

anti !lairs this and other cis eiiiiistasices during the

where lie 1,0011 afterwards paid with his head fur his desertion
front the colours of the 'evolution.

A project has been submitted to the Government for esta-
blishing a basin multi. the Walls of Palk, from whence mer-
chant vessels may proceed direct to the Neel. A campany
also proposes to establish a direct coi 1111 l unit:Atm by water
•for the conveyance of merchandise between Paris and
Havre.

'their Majesties the Emperor Alexander and the King of
Prussia ate expected at Paris on the 24111. Private letters
front Aix-14.011.1mi1e, dated the 15th, state, that on the 17th
the Emperor will sleep atValenciennes, on the 113th at Man-
beuge, where his Majesty will remain the 19th, and on the
30th will proceed to Sedan. The troops of the three powers
of the North, stationed on this occupy all the villages
near the river La sehelle. There will he smite nianrenvres
and sham battles. 'rite troops will then be assembled at Fa-
mars, where they will defile before the Sovereigns. Imme-
diately after this review the Emperor will repair to Paris ; it
is said he will not pass more than a very few days in this ca-
pital. His Majesty will return to Aix-la-Chapelle on the 29th,
to ratify with his allies the labonrs,with w hick tbe.r Ministers
will have been occupied dining his absence. At Aix-la-
Chapelle he will remain until the 10th of November, when
he will sot off for Brussels. He will remain a fortnight,
domesticated st ith the Empress Dowager of Russia, the
Prince 'and Princess of Orange, the King of the Nether-
lands, &c.
The Genoa Gorzdte relates the following fact. which affords
another proof of the excess to which jealously may mislead
the 1111=0 mind ;—" A man named Passadore, aged 36, who
was recently admitted into the corps of Royal Caribiiiiers,
being quartered at St. Pierre &Arena, had formed au inti-
macy with a youog female of that Canton. lie conceived
that he had some cause to doubt of her fidelity, and all of a
sudden his jealousy turned to fury. On the sth of October,
at seven o'clock in the evening, he called upon her and thrust
his sword through her hotly. He afterwards hastened to the
barracks, and without any known motive twice discharged his ,
Innate* at the Brigadier of the company, who was in bed with
his wife. Net being badly wounded, the Brigadier leaped out
of bed and effected his escape. The wretch Men directed
his murderous attack against his wife, and shot her dead with
a pistol. Thus remaining master of the field of battle, with
aumninivon, Passadore barricaded himself in one of the
tarra,k rooms, threatened those who attempted to approach,
and fired several times through the window into the street.
A detachment of soldiers at length arrived, to take this fero-
cious villain into custody. The first of them who advanced
he killed ; and wounded four others, two of them mortally.
The next morning, as they were preparing means which left
the assassin little, hopes of escaping, he appeared at the
window dressed in the full 'form of his regiment, and after
saluting the assailants, terminated with a pistol his own life
and his crimes."
CHARLESTON, Serr. 17.—A report bating prevailed that
the Yellow Fever had made its appearance in this city, the

Pruett, Oct. 15.—0 n Thursday week a gentleman from
the country left a house in High Street, about 11 o clock at
night, with the intentions of returning to his lodgings but
Laving mistaken his way, he only discovered lie was off the
right directiun by finding himself all uf a sudden struggling
in the river. After an ineffectual attempt to regain the bank,
be had sitflicirut presence of mind to throw himself upon his
back, and allow himself to lie carried gently down the stream,
While lie called out lustily for assistanc... In this very ctiti•
cal and dangerous situation he floated down the river,(whicu
was a good deal flooded at the lime.) till lie came opposite to
she New Shore, where his cries raised a dog on board of a
lighter, iu which two men we're below, in bed. Awakened by
the men immediately got upon
the -barking of the amoral,
deek,and made all haste with a boat ro the place ft which
the cries of distress proceeded ; and fortunately for the
stranger, reached it in time to flass. his life. He was
diastly conveyed on board of the lighter, where he remained
for the night. Neat moaning he was au far teeny red as to be
able to return to his friends in town, and give them an account
of his perilous adventure.
