four days, by a very severe cold. He however pre-
sided, on the day before yesterday, at the Prison
Commence. and yesterday at the Committee of
Protestant IVorship, which dot not meet in Decem-
ber. It was the indisposition of his Excellency
and that of M. de Jerre that prevented the weekly
meeting of the Council of Ministers.
The monsters of Bourdeaux continue their shame-
ful with activity. Oat the 31st. of Decem-
ber, at seven o'clock in the evennig, two young
women, accompanied by • child of eight years of
ofe, were accosted in the streets by three young
men, well dressed, olio, stopped them. " Conte,
stab her."' exclaimed one of the assailants to one
of his competition,. The young ruffian did not
require to have it repeated, for immediately drawing
ft sharp-wattled instrument, he stabbed one of the
females ails it in the forehead. The wound pre-
siented a contusion about the size of a franc piece.
The blow so effectually stunned the young woman,
that she could with difficulty reach her home.
Cow.% Dandolo, not less known by his writings
on chemistry and rural economy, than by the part
lie look in the political events of the Republic of
Venice iii 1797, died, on the 13th tilt. of an apoplec-
t:c attack, at his seat of Veresa, near Como.
An affair, iii some respects •nalagous to the cele-
brated trial of Rhodez, has been prosecuted before
the Assize Court of Montauban. The circum-
stances are briefly as follow :—A young female,
named Henrietta Etcht,was induced by earnest pro.
feistomi or future marriage. to consent to an illicit
coniwxion with a rich farmer's son near Prone.
On his parents dying. he failed to fulfil his promise,
and his frail mistress became the wife of soother;
untwitheitanding which they still carried on their cri.
▪ ieitercoonte. Henrietta, deceived in the hors
she so long entertained of partaking the fortune of
her litre paramour, resolved to get possession of
• portion of it. To this end, she one day enticed
him to her husband's house, where he had scarcely
taken his seat by the tire, when her husband en-
tered with a large knife in his hand, and behind
Lim another man armed with • similar weapon.
They seized him instrutly, and menaced him with
the fate of the unfortunate Foibles, if he did not
sign two promissory notes which they presented to
hon.' To save hie life he contented ; notwithstand-
tog this compliance, however, his death was still
meditated, whew Henrietta. on her knees begged
Ins life, which was granted, and he was compelled
to take an oath of secresy. Next day, however, lie
went to Citussade, sod deposed to the eircum-
eiences of the attack before • Justice of the Peace.
The house was taken possession of by the Police,
nod the two notes, to the amount of 30,000 francs,
were found in the mattress of the bedding. Hen-
rietta, and Delta. the accomplice, were condemned
to six yea's' imptisoument, in irons. Her husband
was acquitted.

ROMS, Drectunet 42.
M. Steven, a Quaker, celebrated for hi■ acts of
philanthropy, had an audience yesterday of the
Holy Father. As the principles of his feet do not
permit him to take off his hat, and as it might be
inconvenient for him to keep it on his head, he pro-
posed dist some person in the anti-chamber should
take the trouble of uncovering him. This office
was performed by M. Capecini, in the department
of the Secretary of State.
According to orders received at Pesaro by the
domestics of the Princess of Wales, there is little
probability that her Royal Highness will soon
return.
