A letter from Zurich says—"• The Pope arrived *hero

He was received with great honours, and saluted by the

the latter. He was escorted by the members of the,

Foroostr. own parts we had, at the very moment

tional tendency of a Session which had seen the ex-
tinction of ancient minim skies, and the reconciliation of
conflicting opinions. For, in spite of every thing that

unless we are to consider peace among cit•sens as a
symptom of death to the Government to which they
belong. History has not habituated us to revolutions
which come in disguise, and which ruin monarchies
under an incogallo.
We have not hesitated to attach to the excellent
harmony which has for some time prevailed among the
Powers, the hope of its actingfavourably upon our des-
tinies; and the close observation which we have jives

directed to the continuance of tranquil** ? Has any
lie been given to the sentiments which we have itlways
supposed to belong to it? And, has any one de ei to
speak in its name at present the language of pas La?
. On its side the Administration, which has had the
talent, in spite of the vivacity of .snore resentments, to
see the good sense and charaoter cf the present epoch,
'proceeds,,e4er since it has appeared alone upon the
itage, upon aolid and sincere principles. It gives sign

of life in every thing which it islansifile for it to vivify.
We see that it is penetreted with a felt sense of its du-
ties. and that in all departments of the public woke,'
it acts as soon as it can actiouldmitaires the way to the,
completion of any thing which it is not able to accom-
plish by enchantment.
Whilst our; expedition ill the Korea is going to
prove the generosity of our foreign-policy, the recon-
quest of our independence, and the willingness with
which our courage always lends itself to the support of
-a noble cause, our military system is increasing its
strength, and is actively engaged in its own general and
particular constitution. •
Our marine, that second powerful nerve of the con-
sideration of nations, that bulwatk of the great com-
mercial interests, which at present rule the globe, has
never been the object of a more provident activity.
Our credit, in the midst of the commotions of a part'
of Europe, has not experienced any of those variations,
which the slightest news recently produced ; and if out
public funds change, it is only to rise still higher.
The interests of an interesting class—we mean the
. colonists—had reason to fear almost absolute ruin. The
labours of the commission appointed to prepare the
elements of a new treaty with Hayti have not been de-
layed. Crud mistakes will, perhaps, be prevented by
their diligence.
The grave and important question of roads and canals
has been committed to the consideration of men of in-
telligence, who will give it a minute investigation and
speedy decision. In every department connected with
the thousand branches of the internal administration, a
favourable movement has displayed itself, and always
under the influence of those principles of conciliation,
'and of that progress, which, without precipitating any
thing, tends to ameliorate every thing. Our youth have
heard a noble appe.ll, and public education has been
treated in a manner which must strike and content the
public.—Science, literature, art, agriculture, have all
received some direct proof of the particular care of a
vigilant power, which displays its acquaintance with
'every special want, by fixing on it that impress of uni-
versal thought which ought to be felt by all the mem-
bets of the public administration.
In a word, a picture giving an imperfect representa-
tion of the state of France might have been piesented
now, as it was not long ago; but the Constitutional
'Government is so favourable to the welfare of the na-
tion, that it would render this sort of recapitulation too
frequent; and honest Statesmen prefer waiting for the
spontaneous formation of public opinion to preparing
its formation by the slightest artifices of language.

CASE OF SEDUCTION, THEFT. AND ADULTERY.

The Cour Royal (Douay) has been occupied with the
following case :
A woman lived quietly in her house. She was young,
and yet was the mother of three children. Her husband,
named Lasselin, kept a public-house. A young man,
who bad, it is said, the cbaractei of a Lovelace, was not
unsuccessful in his attempts upon Lasselin's wile. li
appeared that the husband, an easy man, was for a long
time blind to their intercourse; but coming home one
night he was inspired with jealousy at seeing his wife
resting familiarly upon the shoulder of the young se-1
(lacer, who was seated at table with two of his friends
drinking a pot of beer.
They rallied the poor husband upon his jealous tem-
per, the lover telling him in joke that he was the mas-
ter of.the house, and the child of which the wife was

pregnant was his, and that he (the husband) had nothing
to say. The husband defended himself against the ins:
potation of jealousy, and declared that he cared so little
fbr his wife, that he would give her up for a pot of beer.
The bargain was struck, and a young notary's clerk,
possessed of the grifonsanie solariak, wrote upon a
stamped paper a regular transfer of the woman by sale
in due form, with a clause of surrender of a very par-
ticular nature, the precise terms of which, out of regard
to decency, we cannot specify. The seller (husband),
the purchaser (lover), and the wife (sold), signed the
deed as parties. The two young men who were present
affixed their marks as witnesses. The parties who
signed considered the act as a joke of no consequence.
This was not, however, the opinion of the Cambray
Lovelace. The writing was scarcely in his band before,
he perceived all the advantage that he could derive from
it-that of separating the husband from the wife—by
reminding her of the disdain of her husband, and the
lauer of the equivocal connections of his wife. The
exasperated wile could not fail to throw herself into his
arms, and should the husband complain of it, there was
his signature, the exhibition of which would cover him
with ridicule, and nullify his claims in law. These
considerations did not altogether escape Lasselin and his
friends. They did all th-y could to induce the Sieur Mon-
tigny to destroy the evidence of the joke, which falling
into the hands of other persons, might assume a different
character. .Urged by these solicitations, be appeared to
give way, and burned before their eyes a paper which he
said was the paper in question, but it was no such thing.
These fasts occurred towards the end of Febinary.
Soon after, the wife, alter robbing her husband's house,
taking silver plate, her husbands watcher, a consider-
able sum of money, the receipts of the public house of
which she was the sole manager, having sold every
thing in the house, even to the mattresses, and con-
signed all the articles she had removed to her seducer,
was by him directed to Paris. He accompanied her
as far as Chaieler, where they passed the bight tor.
Cher, and he returned the next day to Cansta',
Some days alter became to Paris, where he lived openly
with the wife of Lasselin. The unfortunate woman
became a mother, and maternal affection soon awakened
in her bosom those sentiments which an irregular pas.
sion had absorbed. Recollecting herself, she beheld
the frightful prospect prepared for her by the criminal
act which she had allowed herself to coma) t. She
ventured to speak of returning; her language gave of-
fence—coldness and reproaches were the consequence.
Under these circumstances, taking six hunched and odd
francs from their common purse, she got into the dili-
gence in Paris, to return to Cambray. On her arrival,
she employed the friends of her hu.band, who, by their
solicitations, procured a reception in her husband's
house, and a perfect reconciliation. The seducer re-
turning to Cambisty, caused to victim of his seduction
to be arrested on a charge of having robbed him at Paris
of a sum of eight hundred francs. The exasperated
husband,- on his side, learning the intimacy which had
subsisted between the seducer and his wife
,instituted a
suit for adultety against them both.
On the affair being bra ueht before the tribunal of
Cambray, it' was open to consideration in throe points of
