EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

The Cure of a little village in the department of th,
Loiret died lately, and divided his property among his re
latives. They sold the property by auction, and a perso►
who bought the cellar of wines perceived on examination r
hole in a part of it where wood was ordinarily kept. Hi,
curiosity was excited, and on making further search the fol
lowing extraordinary discovery was made. He found
Priest's vestment richly embroidered, and a cross set in fin.
diamonds. Next a little box covered with oil-cloth; con
taining twenty thousand pieces of gold of the 16th an(
17th centuries, with several medals ; a watch covered witl
precious rubies, a portrait set in diamonds, the painting be-
ing much effaced ; chains, rings, and trinkets of the yak(
altogether of 500,000 f. He also found a cedar box, in
perfect state of preservation, full of papers of a peculiai
description. They were principally composed of promissor
notes for money lent, besides various memoranda of heal
sums lost at play to the celebrated Cardinal Mazarin. Thee
are written in the following form

Good for a hundred pistoles, lost last night at play tf
his Excellency the Cardinal.
(Signed) DUKE DE CRAON."
" Good for five hundred lou;s, lost the du of St. An
drew, to the Cardinal Mazarin, the banker Colmini holding
the stakes.

(Signed) " COUNT DE BUCCUNES."
" Good for any article at Chergallier, lost to the Cantina!
Mazarin, whom Heaven preserve with constitution for m.
revenge at the fete of St. Germain.
(Signed) " DE HAVACOURT."
There are in all 900 memoranda of that nature, mans
of them written by women, for money lost or borrowed,'
and many by some of the principal persons of the Ro)aI
Family.
Among the dresses is a rich Priests vestment, coverer
with gold and precious stones, and having on the collar tl
following inscription :
" Hortense de Mancini de Mazarin, wishing to conseerat(
to God the diamonds and the ornaments which he wore ►i:
this world, which he now renounces, has presented this gift
to the Cathedral."
To this dress is attached a cross of great value. red
both are supposed to be worth 100,000 francs. Opinio❑ is
lost to ascertain the reason why these precious objects were
deposited in that cellar ; but it is generally supposed the)
were given to the Cure or his predecessor, at the period of
the revolution.—journal de Loiret.
