AN ENGLISHMAN IN PARIS.

paragraph in one of the French papers gives a
curious account of the adventures of one of our
countrymen shortly after his arrival at Paris. On
arriving at an hotel in the Chausee d'Antin, he
made " a copious dejeuner," at which he got more
than half fuddled. On going into the streets he
Placed himself under the protection of a young lady,
r- who fora valuable consideration undertook to show
him the lions at Paris. Instead, however, of con-
led thed ducting this " lubberly boy" safe home to his hotel,
,e lady decoyed him to a house of ill fame, in the
ira. Rue Fromatiteau. On waking the next morning
3rt he found himself to his great surprise, alone on a
cranky-bedstead in
a vilianous bedchamber ; and to
; his great horror, without either his watch or his
",; I.'„lltse- On ringing his bell, the landlord came up to
11 him, and tell him not to be alarmed, as he had
taken both his purse and his watch to prevent him
et, from being robbed. He then gave him thew back,
it, f
4ild our Englishman fancying himself, in conse-
luence, in a lace of safety, turned himself round in
bed, and again composed himself to sleep. On
staking a second time, he found himself stripped
again of his property. He called for assistance,
Inl n nobody came near him ; he got out of bed, and
irn '°„'o his door barricaded against him. It was not
o; ;rid after a lapse of five days that he escaped
'l4 I°lll c; at this vile durance, and returned to the hotel
which he had originally taken up his quarters.
'l"' ;18 he was ever more tristc than the generality of
I'l' I's countrymen, his landlord suspected that he had
(1- fot into some scrape during his absence from his
i on.dgil'gs, and by dint of solicitation pumped out of
h- n)
c, the truth... Application was instantly made to
the
Police and as our countryman had happened
to l
as ose two bank bills for 25,000 francs each, a clue
Ny given to the po!ice which is likely to lead to the
detection, of the offenders. The bills have been re-
covered. The most surprising part of the story is,
that the brothel-keeper in the rue de Fromenteau,
s, learning here our English friend resided, ;sent
n ruin a bill, amounting to 1,200 francs, for his ex-
t
t,4
ireanneeeS during the five days he resided there; 72
it s were charged for clean sheets, 780 francs for
rt .
b(4O bottles of Champagne, and 100 francs for 10
ottles of Madeira. The Englishman refused pay-
is meat •
notes, but the brothel-keeper took him before a
le
y
and the notary, not being afraid to compro-
rh.s
_himself, compelled him to discharge this ex-
-1 °rultaut demand. The police have got a clue to
this transaction) and will soon be able to unravel its
,mystery An indictment has been already prepared
glinst the brothel-keeper; and the Quotidicime
PPmises its readers that they shall in due course
r- time be made acquainted with all the ramifica-
, n, of tie
I,this audacious outrage.

The Lord Lieutenant's state yacht, we have
reason to know, is under orders for Cork Harbour. Upon
this fact we can rely : the opinion on board is, that the

cellency will
b arrive in our harbour on Thursday next.
