him a sword' cane, stabbed M. Sirey, and he died
upon the sofa. We are assured that M. Caumartias
after having committed this crime, fled in M.
Sirey's carriage. The police was apprised of what
had taken place about a quarter of an hour after-
wards. The most active search was made for the
murderer, and this morning all the gates of the cit.)"
were closely watched." The Observate-ur says—" M.
Sirey, who had come to Brussels for a week, had
accompanied Mdlle. Heinefetter to a concert, and re-
turned home with her to supper when the concert was
over. M. Caumartin, his fellow-countryman, supped
with them. Whilst they were taking their wine a
violent dispute arose, and M. Caumartin, rising sud-
denly, plunged the sword of his cane into the bodY
of M. Sirey, who had contradicted something. that he
had said. M. Sirey was only able to exclaim "
suis frappe," and died instantly, the instrument hav-
ing tritversed the region of the heart. M. Caumartin
prcceeded immediately to Dr. Allard, and entreated
him to attend the unfortunate Sirey, but it was too
late. He was cold when the doctor arrived. On
learning this fact, M. Caumartin fled, and it is not
known what is become of him. It is said that a
third guest, who received M. Sirey in his arms when
he was stabbed, was so affected that this morning he
was unable to utter a word." In another account it
is stated that AI. Sirey, who was 29 years of age, was
married, and the father of a family. He resided in
Paris, in the rue L•ifitte.
