A letter we have received from an English
Gentleman, at present residing in Caen, dated January 24,
says—" I was present yesterday, at a scene not very gpy, viz.
the operation of die gullotine on a man who was convicted at
the Assizes held here lately, of the murder of his nephew, with
whom he had a law suit, about an estate. The nephew gained
the cause, and the uncle shot him dead, on his return from
Caen, where the cause was tried. So much for French frater-
nity. The uncle's name was Parcae; he was near 70 years
old, and was formerly one of BUOWAPARTE'S officers, and pos.
sessed a large property.
Lieut. P. BowLEs Bunvrow, of the Bengal
Artillery in Assam, has discovered the source of the Burram.irter River, to be in a snowy range of mountains, North lat.
WI degrees, East longitude 06. 10. a thousand miles distant
from the place, where it was supposed to have its rise.
The present stagnation of business at Maid-
stone, is much felt by the paper-making trade. In the neigh-
bourhood the mills have discharged a great number of hands
both male and female.
