PARIS, SATURDAY.—A very scandalous affair has
been for several days the subject of conversation in Parisian
high life. A personage of the highest rank, 33 years of
age, and married, being also the father of three pretty
children, has been found by General D-- in criminal con-
versation with his wife. General D-----, who at first did
not recognise him, would have killed him on the spot, and
though the personage declared his rank, the offended husband
said that he would summon him before the Court of Peers,
and gave him a sound thrashing before dismissing him. The
affair has given rise to many negotiations in order to slu:
the scandal, and it is said that the young man willtli)e
