A ROMANCE.

A curious circumstance lately occurred here in one
of the principal hotels. A party, consisting of an
English nobleman and his wife, a gentleman who has
been living in considerable style at the west end of
London, and a young lady of family and fortune in
the West of England, were all residing in the house.
The young lady Iliad accompanied the two married
ladies alluded to, to Paris, and had been enjoying all
the gaieties •of this gay city. The unmarried gentle-
man already noticed had paid his addresses to the
young lady before their arrival here, although unsuc-
cesfully, and was busy in renewing his vrotestations.
All on a sudden, however, a few mornings ago, the
whole hotel were roused out of their beds by the
shrieks of the young lady, who immediately charged
the gentleman alluded to with an attempt to violate
her person by entering her bed-room. The greatest
ferment reigned over the whole establishment until
the following morning, when the young lady sought
the advice of the Ambassador. A challenge was sent
by a friend of the young lady to the offender, who im-
mediately produced a note, as he represented, written
to him by her, inviting him to come to her bed-room
on the night in question ; and to such a degree had
the culprit imposed on the friends seeking satisfac-
tion, that they were led to believe that she had
really been guilty; and it is said that the Ambas-
sador concurred in the advice which had been given
by her friends, namely, that she should at once marry
the gentleman, her former suitor. To this she most
resolutely replied she would sooner die ; that the let-
ter was a forgery, and. that no power on earth could
prevent her from going home and consulting with
her family on this affair, so serious to her character.
She left for London, and on the day she left it was
accidentally discovered in Galignani that the gentle-
man who intruded himself into the lady's room had
been declared a bankrupt as a broker in the city.
Finding himself blown on, he immediately repaired to
the Ambassador's, asked for a fresh passport in a
false name, and was actually on his way to Belgium
when arrested on a charge of fraud on the police. He
was sent to the prison La Force, where we believe he
is at present. No idea can be formed of the great ex-
citement amongst the English in Paris about this
most extraordinary affair. There are a great many
awkward rumours afloat on the subject, which I will
refrain from giving, as doubtless the affair will un-
dergo some farther investigation.—Letter from Paris.
