SINGULAR ANECDOTE OF A CAMEL.
TO THE EHITOII.

SIR—It requires but very little observation to convince. us
that there is, an immense distance between the stupidity of some .
animals and the sagacity of others, considered as separate races.
its much indeed as there is between the ignorance of some and
the wisdom of other individuals of the same race, as well
anion g brutes as with man. In both cases, too,. it will be ads
mined, that though superior sagacity ought to enable its pos-
sessors to become the most useful beings of each class, yet it is
often the distinction of the most mischievous only, -as the
swindler in the human race, and the monkey among brute
animals. So alSo excessive stupidity may now and then belong
to the most useful of each, as the country clown who cultivates
the earth for the use of man, and the came', who perhaps rani
ders more service to his owner for the cost of ptifchase and
maintenance than any other animal known, and without which
indeed the intercourse with all distant countries separated_ by
barren wastes could not all exist.
It is one of the last mentioned animals, and oneh.ighlipiiieci.
for its excellent qualities by his master, that . lite. heard,
the following anecdote, the authenticity of which )nay be, re.
lied on, though its parallel in simplicity will not be easily
found :

This camel belonged to a gentleman at Debli, and was de,
livered of its first-born at the usual season. it happened,
however, that after the birththe young camel was taken from
her, and the first object on which the dam cast her eyes was a
young man who had been sent to *attend- her during the de-
livery. The camel mistaking this youth for its offspring;
caressed him as if he were actually her own of and be-
came so jealous of his moving from .her, that he could-liever
get away without throwing his outer gartnenti -round a person
of his own size, and leaving him to keep hie place till his
return. _ _

To add to the excessive stupidity of this animal in tnakitig
so unnatural a mistake, it should be mentioned that when its
own real offspring was brought to her, she rejected it entirely;
and continued her maternal intentions to the young adopted
son for months afterwards. .

Deeming this a fact of too curious a nature to be lost, I send -
it to you for insertion in your interesting Paper, to be added to
the great variety of facts of which it has already been, nud
I hope, long continue to be, the repository.

FRENCH PAPERS.

Front the Moniteur of Wednesday, April 28.

The Official Part contains a short Ordinance

-.relative to contracts for clothing the troops.
The Non-Official Part, including a Supple-
ment of a whole sheet (with the exception of
some Court-news, and a few details from the
English Papers), is filled with the proceedings
of the Chamber of Deputies on the 26th and '27th
9f April.

(Prom L'Etoile, dated Thursday. )
,T4fpB, APRIL I.43.—Sentence .was yesterday
-11t,60-aryned by the Correctional Tribunal iu the
affair of the. two Journals appearing under the
title of :the Pants. M.Tissot, Editor of the Jour-
nal stopped by the „Magistrates, was condemned
to a nionties imprisonment, and a fine of 200
francs, for !laving published it without being au-
thorised. As for the question of property, the
Tribunal refered the two parties,-M. Tissot and
i.;assauo, to the Civil Court.
The Etoile speaks in high terms of a work
just published by the title of The justice, advan-
tage, and necessity of an Indemnity to the -Emi-
grants., "In every revolution," says the author,
" there are crimes, misfortunes, and actions that
may be called relative. Crimes are.the violation
of divine and human laws; no time, .no motive
can render them excusable. Misfortunes are the
sufferings and losses caused by a great convul-
sion. Relative actions are those which may
be considered
.as crimes or virtues, according to
the interest and safety
.of those who govern. In
Our revolution, the burning of the chateaus, the
popuiar murders, the judicial assassination of in-
nocent men, are crimes. The diminution of the
public revenue, the bankruptcy of two-thirds of
the debt, the loss of legitimate rights suppressed
or abolished, are misfortunes. The emigration,
the Vendee') war, the devotedness, the, resistance
of faithful subjects in the interior, are relative
actiens. They are crimes in the eyes of those
Who had got the power into their hands ; they
are virtues in the eyes of those who do not re-
cognize the usurped power. So long as the
usurpation lasts, a Vendee)) is, in the eyes of the
Committee of Public Safety, a brigand ; so they
are styled by the Convention. An emigrant is
an enemy armed against his country, a man
Worthy of death, if he is taken ; his property is
confiscated, and falls to the public treasury. But
when the end of the revolution comes, when the
usurpation ceases, the crimes are punished or
pardoned, the misfortunes remain, the relative
actions lose their conditional.cheracter of crimes,

and resume that of virtues. A Vendean, then,
is a hero of fidelity ; an Emigrant, a noble and
,glorious -companion of -the misfortunes of his
Prince, a virtuous support of the throne. Such
is the theory on which the work in question is
founded."

CIIAMBER OF PEERS, APRIL 27.

-Count Pon-I-m.la brought up the Report of the project of
law relative to offences- committed within churches, or during
- the time of -religioas worship. The discussion on this project
will be opened on Friday.
•
Count DESEZE likewise brought up the Report of the pro-
ject of law relative, to different modifications of the Penal Code,
aati. the Code of Critninal Instraetibif.' The Chamber will, at
ulterior. period, fix the time of the opening of the discussion.
CIIAMBER,OF ,D,EPIITIES,. Aram
The.diacassion of the project of law relative to ,the Rentes
was again resumed.
M. the .Glitaanim said that General Foy, detained at home
by a" aeirere, illneas, was forced to yield to him his turn to speak;
• bat if he could.rot-make his eloquent voice heard within that
place faithful to his command, he would nevertheless come to
iziae his !Vote, and although he should be obliged to he carried,

ze The pre.alt project attacked not' only the confidence which
'people in the country had.in the public funds, but that which
had been felt for a longtime in the capital itself. It was upon
the capital that, above .all, the -financial measure which was
proposed,. would .weigh ~with its whole force ; it was towards
-her that it would be most hurtful; it was to her population, the
most ..ntimeroos, the most interesting ; it was to the an-
:fortunate' in retirement, to old artisans, to ancient domes-
tire, who were made to support this reduction, which they
ovatild call a real bankruptcy. This population which had
Glen 'part in the 'revolution in 1789, would think (for
those who lost were not always just), that the recollection
was riot a stranger ,to the conception of a similar measure.—(A

de.co,,,,Enr, (Minister of the Interior) said it could not
be expected from him that he should answer the violent objec-
tions addressed to a Minister of the King and his colleagues,
-
mach less the sarcasms, which ought never to antes for argu
meat. If all these attacks, and the tone with which they-were
-
delivered,. were- -deserved, and if they were supported on just
.gretinds, then, indeed would there be a real error in the plan
. aclepted a but if these reproaches are ill-founded, and if there
was an. an exaggerated injustice in the tone assumed, they
' might be said to outstrip the prescribed limits, be out of place,
and might be justly called insults. It had been said that, to a
' Vtrt of the stockholders it-would be attended with .diflicalties,
- because the. Minister of Finance, in 1817, had said that there
• wousld never be a repayment of the debt. It via 4 strange that
the 141iniater.of . that board should :express himself so, when
• he himself was presenting a. loan where.uo such stipulation was
,anade,

expression is faithfully recorded in the Monitevr of the 13th
Feb, 1817.

M. FERDINAND DE BERTHIER proposed to take into ac-
count the economy of 23 millions, and if it were necessary the
indemnities on the Sinking Fund. Upon this point no reserva-
tion had been made with the lenders. The article 109 of the
financial law-of 1815, states that a law will determine the period
when a certain portion of the Rentes shall :. annulled, and it
can how be declared by laW, that that perio4 has arrived.-4 This
speech was ordered to be printed.) '
M. de Ix CAZI: answered the objectiOnAnade to the proposed
measure. He skewed that a reduction:, made, in the Sinking
Fund would not bring about such adhantages. •
111EChIsr (holding in his hand a large manuscript) apclo-
giied for presenting himself at so slate an hour (five o'clock) ;
but cries of hear, hear ! proceeding from all parts of the Clam-
ber, he went on to speak at considerable length against the
preject of law.--(The printing of his speech was not contested.)
The Sitting was then adjourned till the following day, when
it is supposed the discussion will be terminated.
