FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCT. 24.—The Marquis de Marian sot off
yesterday fur Vienna; where he will espouse, in the
name of his sovereign the King of Portugal, the second
daughter of the Emperor. It is said that he will spend
the winter at Vienna, and will, next spring, conduct
his new sovereign to Lcghorn, where she will embark
fm the Brazils on board a Portugese vessel.
The report is renewed that the Emperor of Austria,
after his marriage, will visit Southern Italy. His Ma-
jesty will be accompanied by Prince Metternich.
According to recent accounts delivered in to the Mi-
nister of the Interior, the state of the harvest for 1816
is as fillows :—" In 74 departments, 46 have had a,
good harvest, 27 a middling one, and in one it has com-
pletely
failed. The crops of 20 of these departments
are superior to those of 1814, which was a very abun-
dant year; those of 21 others may be considered as equal. ,
In spite of all the unexampled inclemencics of the sea-
son,
we may be assured, that in general more grain has
been got in this year in France than in 1815. The
consumption of new corn beginning this year later than
ordinary, there will, in all probability, be an excess in
the resources destined to support France till the har-
vest of 1817. It is true that the quality of part of the
corn has been injured by the wet, but it has not lost
by that its nutritive quality; and as precautions will
be taken which private interest recommends and expe-
rience points out, there is little doubt but that a great
part of this will be found very useful. _ _

" OCT. 16 (IrO), HALF PAST POUR.
" I write to you, sister, for the last time. I have just been
condemned—not to a shameful death; it is only so to the guilty;
brit—to go and rejoin your brother. Innocent, like him,
hope to show the same fortitude as he did in his last moments.
" I am calm, as one is when ones conscience does not re.
proach am. I feel deep sorrow at abandoning my poor chil-
dren. Good and tender sister, you know I lived but for them
and you—by your affection you have sacrificed every thing
to be with us. In what a situation •do I leave you! I learnt
stow trial that my daughter was separated from you. Alas!
poor child, I dare not write to her—she would not receive
sty letter. I know not whether this even will reach you.
Receive for them both my blessing.
" I hope one day, when older, they will be able to rejoin
yon, and enjoy all your tender care. Let them both retleet
upon what I have never ceased to instil into them, that the
principles and exact execution of their duties are the prime
♦irtnes of life, and that affeetion and mutual confidence will

Constitute the happiness of it. Let nay daughter feel, that at
her age she ought always to assist her brother with the conn-
ects which the greater experience she will have and her
affection may suggest to her : let my son, in his turn, admi-
nister to Isis sister all the solicitude and services which affec-
tion can inspire ; finally, let them feel, that in whatever
position they may be, they cannot be truly happy but by their
anion. Let them take example by us. How often in our
miseries lass our affection afforded us consolation—in happi-
-1104111 we have a double .enjoyment Arhen we can share it with
a friend. And where can suy be found more dear and tender
than in one's own family?
" Let nay son never kiwi the last words of his father,
which I repeat expressly—Let him never seek to revenge
•ar death?

" I have to speak to you of something very painful to my
heart. I know how much pain this child has given 7ou.
Forgive him, my dear sister: think of his age, how easy it is
So make a child say what one pleases, and even what he does
not understand. A day will come, I hope, when he only will
feel more deeply the value of your goodness and tenderness
for both.
" It remains for me to confide to yon my list thoughts. I
would have written them at the commencement of the trial;

but, besides that, they world not suffer me to write, the march
of events has been so rapid, that I have not had in reality the
time.

" I die in the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion—
in that of my fathers; in which I was brought up, and which
I have always professed; having no spiritual consolation to
expect, not knowing if there still exist any Priests of our
Religion ; and even the place where I am would expose them
too much, if they once entered it.
" I sincerely ask pardon of God for all the faults I may
lave committed since I was born. I hope that in his good-
ness He will receive my last prayers, as well as those 1 have
tong put up—that he will receive my soul iu his mercy and
goodness. I aik pardon of all I know, and of von, sister,
ink particular, for all Oa pain I may, without meaning it,
lave caused you.
" I forgive all my enemies the ill they they have done me :
I kid adieu here to my mid all my 1."...t1ecr, moti •;cterS.
I bad friends: the idea of being separated from them for
over, and their troubles, is one of the greatest griefs I have in
dying. Let them know, at least, that, to my last moment I
thought of them.
" Good and tender sister, farewell! May I deserve your
regret! Always think of me! I embrace you with all my heart,
os well as my poor dear children. Oh, my God! what agony
it is to quit them for ever. Adieu ! Adieu!
" And now I will resign myself' wholly to my spiritual du-
ties. As I am not free in my actions, they will bring me
perhaps a priest ; lint I protest here I a ill not say a word to
Aim, And ilia, I a ill treat him as a perfect stranger."
• This was the part that was blotted with a tear.
