PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
" The rumour was generally prop agated during
the day," says the Presse, " that thee envoy of the
Holy See had applied to the French Government
far a disavowal of the late pamphlet. Another re-
port was that the publication of the production in
question had modified the resolution s of the Court
of Rome relative to the Congress, and that the corn-
ing of Cardinal Antonelli was more doubtful than
some days back."
Mgr. Coeur, Bishop of Troyes, has written to the
Gazette de France to say that the awssertion of his
being the author of the pamphlet ": Le Pape et le
Congres" is quite unfounded.
Nantes was visited two days back by a tremend-
ou.s hurricane of wind, accompanied by thunder,
lightning, and rain. The barometer fell in a most
extraordinary manner.
A murder, followed by an attempt: at suicide by
this perpetrator of the crime, took place the day
before yesterday in the Rue de Charonne. A man
n: tamed D- had for some years pasi: occupied part
of a heuse in that street, keeping an. eating-house,
and letting furnished lodgings. 211 is customers
were for the most part journeymen !gardeners, for
whom he occupied himself with finding employ-
ment when they were out of work.. He lost his
wife about six months ago, and soo ci after formed
an acquaintance with a widow nip med M--,
who came to live with him, bringing with her the
furniture which she possessed. Lat t erly quarrels
frequently took place between them, :and at length
became so violent that the woman', four or five
days ago quitted the house, leaving her furniture
behind. The day before yesterday she called to
claim and remove her property, when a violent
altercation took place, and at length. D-, find-
ing the woman was determined on. leaving him,
rushed on her with the large kn,fife which he
usually wore in a sheath at his side, and plunged
it up to the haft in her breast. Stle at once fell
to the ground, and when ho saw leer weltering
in her blood, he laid hold of a sword-stick which
stood near him, and with the blade stabbed him-
self in several places in the breast azni abdomen,
and at length fell fainting with ewhaustion on
the floor, and with the blade still sticking in his
body. At the commencement of the qiarrel,
several persons had stopped before Ow place, but
had not interfered ; when, however's!, they heard
a noise indicating that from wordli the parties
had come to blows, they rushed in, but it was
too late. Both D and the woman were con-
veyed to the Hospital St. Antoine 1.; the latterte
expired just as she reached that pLace, but h
former, although his wounds were -very severe,
is not considered in a hopeless condition.
