IINA,

The following is extracted ifolll the Buenos Ayres British Purket
f June 12:—

On Tuesday last the Ecclesiastical Court in this city, in the al.os
adjoining the State Printing Office, was the theatre of a scene highly
terrific. M. Francis Aoust, a native of France, and Dons Mercedes La
Rica. his wife, being at issue before the above tribunal, attended Piety
on Tuesday morning. In the course of the altercation, Aoust sud-
denly drew a dagger, and plunged it into his wife's right breast,
anti was about to stab himself, when he was seised by the Ser. Pro-
visor. In the scuffle the latter was wounded, as likewise another
clergyman, who, with several more, were in the ante-chamber, and
whose timely assistance prevented the consummation of the attempted
suicide. A guard of Civicoa were immediately sent for, who conducted
Aoust to their barracks, from whence he was removed first to the
Police-office, and thence to gaol. Whilst in prison he attempted to cut
his throat with a penknife, but was prevented from effecting this de-
sign. There are several circumstances attending this affair, which, if
they do not extenuate the deed committed, are at least of a nature to
operate strongly upon a sensible heart, and produce mental aberration.
The following letter was found upon the Provisor's table :
`• The clock has just struck eleven. At twelve lam to appear In the
presence of the woman I best loved, and without whom 1 cannot live.
She swore she would love me alone in this world and in the next ; she
has been perjured, unfaithful, and perfidious in this world, that she
may fulfil her oath in the next. I ant decidedly resolved to take away
her life, together with my own, since it can be no ei,joytuent to me
without her. To let her live, and see her in the pos.tession of another,
that would be more terrible to me than death itself.

'• Farewell, beloved father, mother, brother, and sister ; bewail the
melancholy fate of your dead son and brother. lie has preferred death
to a painful and insupportable existence, as is that when the repose of
the soul and the heart is lost.

" Adieu, friends—ah ! friends there are none ! Ile who professes
to b.: the friend of another, should be considered by him as a secret
enemy, and, therefore, tl:e more to be dreaded.

Cheer up my heart—thou art going to have this transitory world
to enjoy, btside the one thou most lovest, a happy and everlasting ex-
istence.
