Madame Maupin born in 1673, was daughter of Dau-
bigny, Secretary to the Count d'Armansac. She married,
at a very fender age, a person named Maupin of St. Ger-
main-en-Laye, and obtained for him a pl ice in the customs
in a provincial town. During the absence of her husband,
Madame Maupin who had a natural and decided taste for
arms, became acquainted with a certain Seranne, a fenc-
ing•master, and followed him to Mdrseilles. Necessity
obliged them to put to profit the talents which nature had
bestowed upon them ; they both had an excellent voice,
and were received without much difficulty into the Ope•
ratic Company, who were performing then in that town.
Madame Maupin remained there some time ; but an acci-
dent which we shall just relate, obliged her to leave that
and the country.

She had conceived a tender attachment for a young
girl of Marseilles, whose parents, on that account, sent
her to a convent at Avignon. When Madame Maupin
knew the place of her retirement, she went and presented
herself there as a novice, in which quality she was re-
ceived. Some time after a nun happened to die, Madame
Maupiu dug up her body which had been interred, carried
it into the bed of her young friend, set fire to the convent,
and seized Vie opportunity et trie tumult caused by the file
to carry off the young lady she loved. As soon as the
flight was known, legal proceedings were instituted against
her ; and under the name of Daubigny (for she always
made herself pass for a single woman) she was condemned
to be burnt alive, par contunzace. But as the young
Marseilles girl was found ag +in, and as her friend had had
the precaution to escape, the sentence was not executed.
Madame Maupin had many other adventures quite as
romantic, while she was in the country, where she always
appeared in the garb of a man. She came to Paris, and
re-assuming the name of her husbami, she made her debut
at the opera, in the character of Pallas, in the opera of
Cildmus.

Dumesnil, an actor at the Opera, having insulted
Madame Maupin, she, in a man's attire, waited for him
one evening, on the Place des Victoires, and wanted to
compel him to fight sword in hand ; as he refused so to
do, she cudgelled him most soundly, and took from him
his snuff-box, and big watch. The next day Dumesnil re-
lated in the green-room his adventure, which had already
created a deal of rumour, but he related it with additional
circumstances much in his favour ; he boasted that he had
been attacked by three robbers, again-t whom he had de-
fended him-elf most vigorously, hut that they had carried
off his watch and his snuff box. When he han done re-
lating his prowess, Madame Manpin who was atoongst his
hearers, raid to him : " Thou hest, thou art a coward and
a poltroon ! for I alone, did the job, and as a proof of wlia'
I say, here are thy watch, and thy snuff-box." The actor
TbeHard, who had also offended her and who feared a re
pstition of a like adventure, was obliged to remain bidder,
during three weeks and at last, to get out of his trouble.
he humbly begged pan don of the am,xon.

. .
Madame Maupin quitted the Opera to go to Brussel•,
where she became th.• tnistre►e of the E ector of Bavaria,
who settled upon her a pension of 2.000 fiance. Some
time after she returned to Paris, and re-entered the Opera.
From that moment she sent to all her lovers the bonds they
had made in her favour, and kept only the pension of the
Elector of Bavaria. B. tug now determined to lead a re-
gular life, she recalled her husbind, M. Maupin, who
%las in the country, and she lived wit't hint in pet feet
union. She died in 1725, at the age of 52 years.
