FRANCE.

" Prince Ladislas Czartoryski, the chief of the
aristocracy of the Polish emigration," says the
Gazette de France, " has completely renounced
occupying himself with politics, and proposes to
establish himself on the Gallician estates at Lieniawa.
The Prince, who has already obtained the authori-
sation of the Austrian Government for that object,
has been led to adopt this resolution by family mis-
fortunes. It is known that the Prince has lost his
mother and his wife. Perhaps the hopelessness of
the Polish cause may have something to do with
this resolution."
M. Feuillet de Conches, the editor of the collec-
tion of Marie Antoinette's letters, has defended
himself with much warmth against Herr von Sybol'es
well-known doubts as to the authenticity of the
documents in question. The dispute has now as-
sumed almost a national character, the press in
France and Germany treating the subject as if the
honour of those countries were at stake.
The journals announce the death of M. Alexis
Barricre, dramatic author, uncle of M. Theodore
Barriere, at the age of 73 years.
The funeral obsequies of one of the last of the
Mamelukes of Napoleon- I. were celebrated two
days back at the Church of St. Pierre at Gros-
Caillou. His name was Barrequa Boulon, and his
age 89.
The Moniteur publishes a report addressed to the
Emperor relative to a deliberation of the Council
General of the Seine-et-Marne, of the 25th ultimo,
which expresses the wish that the law should give
to the Councils-General the right of deciding on all
disputed departmental elections, and that the atten-
tion of the Government should be called to the
question whether it be not advisable to restore to
the Councils-General the right of naming their
bureaux. As this deliberation relates to matters
which do not fall within the attributions of a
Council-General, the Minister proposes that it be
declared null and void by a decree, in conformity
with Art. 14 of the law of 22d June, 1833. The
report is followed by an Imperial decree to the
effect proposed by the Minister.
The validity of a notice given by telegraph has
just been established in a case of appeal at the Im-
perial Court of Paris. " M. Carvalho, director of the
Theatre Lyrique, engaged in April, 1864, for three
years, a singer, Mlle. Larousseliere, known on the
stage as Mile. Renaudy, at a salary of 300 fr. per
month for the first year, 400 fr. for the second, and
500 fr. the third, at the same time reserving to him-
self the right of breaking the engagement at the
end of each year, terminating on the 31st May, by
giving a month's notice. On Saturday, April 29
last, M. Carvalho, as he declares, informed Mlle.
Renaudy verbally of his intention to put an end to
the engagement, and the lady promised to return
with her father in the evening to sign an accepts_
tion of the notice. They did not, however, appear,
and M. Carvalho sent to the residence of M. Larous-
seliere, but was informed that he and the family
were absent. On the following day, Sunday, the
30th, the last day for giving notice, he sent a tele-
grapic despatch to the father, announcing his inten-
tion to end the engagement, but the father, no doubt
suspecting the object of the communication, refused
to receive it. A second despatch was sent and deli-

vered to the concierge of M. Larousseliere's house in

presence of witnesses. Mlle. Renaudy, on the other
hand, affirms that M. Carvalho on the Saturday stated
that he wished to see her father in the evening,
without mentioning for what object, and that her

father having started the same day for St. Cloud
with her family could not wait on M. Carvalho, and
did not receive the despatches in sufficient time.
The case was first brought before the Tribunal of
Commerce, which decided that a proper notice had
not been given by M. Carvalho, but in the present
appeal the Imperial Court reversed the previous
judgment and declared the engagement to be at an
end from the 31st May.
A man in good circumstances, named G-,
residing in the Rue de Sevres, was arrested two
days back at the imperial Library, for attempting
to steal a book from the reading room. He had
been observedto secrete the volume under his coat,
and was stopped while leaving the building with
the stolen property in his possession.
A valet de chambre, named Ruy-Gaurez, a
native of Savoy, has just been tried by the Court
of Assize of the Seine for robbing his master,
the Duke de Conegliano, which charge was ag-
gravated by an incidental accusation of forgery
in disposing of the stolen property. Ruy-Gau-
rez had been in the Duke's service about two
years, when, in September last, he suddenly left
his situation without assigning any reason for so
doing. Two months later the duke discovered that
ten shares of the Lyons Railway Company, then
worth about 9,000 fr., were missing from his secre-
tary, and on making an inquiry he learned that a
dividend coupon had been cashed by his former
servant at a money changer's named Lalandre,
and that three of the shares has also been
sold at another money changer's by a man
who had given his name as Crosey, but who,

in signing a receipt, probably from the force of
habit, had commenced by writing the word
Rey, which formed the first portion of the real
name of the accused. The servant, being arrested,
confessed that he was guilty of the robbery, and
gave such information as led to the recovery of a
portion of the property. He, however, denied that
he had committed a forgery in using the signature
of Crosey, as that was the maiden name of his
mother. The jury having acquitted the prisoner on
that charge, and admitted extenuating circumstances
on the indictment for robbery, the court condemned
him to two years' imprisonment.
A young man named Charlochet, aged 21, was

tried on Saturday at the Court of Assizes of the
Seine for wounding his mother. The antecedents
of the accused were of the worst character. He
had already been condemned six times, twice
for embezzlement ; and he inspired so great a

terror to his father and mother that on the 3d
July last, having menaced to stab the latter, both
parents abandoned the house and took refuge
with a friend. A week later they returned,
and a day or two after the son demanded some
money of his mother with threats, and on meet-
ing with a refusal threw an empty bottle with great
violence at her head. The missile struck a table
and was broken to pieces, and one of the fragments
inflicted a wound, happily of no great gravity, on
the woman's skull. For this brutal conduct the
prisoner was now tried, but the jury simply returned
a verdict of wounding by imprudence. The court,
however, taking into consideration his previous con-
demnations, sentenced him to four months' impri-

sonment and five years' surveillance of the police.
The express train which left Paris on Saturday
evening went off the rails at four in the morning,
just before arriving at the Vars station, in conse-

quence of the rupture of an axle. The locomotive
went on correctly, it being only three waggons
which left the line. There was nothing very serious

to deplore ; a young Spaniard sustained contusions
in the leg, and a lady was slightly wounded by
some fragments of glass. The passengers arrived
at Bordeaux three hours behind time.

A lad about 15 years of age entered a jeweller's
shop ou the boulevards, two mornings since, and
