FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTOBER 21.
One of the most interesting personazes who have
appearel in the affair of ithridez, but of whom least
has been spoken, is the little girl Bancal. Her depo-
sitions in the new proceedings are of the highest im-
portance. The has in no respect varied in her decla-
rations, and manit:sts in her'answers st spirit, and at
the same time a candour, at which the ✓age ethane-
sloe was astonished. She recounts the circumstances
of the crime of which she was the witness, and which
she had observed through a hole in the cut tain of the
bed into which she had dipped.
They began, she says, by making M. Fualdes
write. busi.sn stuck him first, and then drew back,
and Bastide completed it. A noise was then hear I
in the closer, where a Lady with a long veil had con-
cealed herself. the same Lady came out dressed
like a man. Basta& wanted to kill her. She whis
peted something to Jausi..n, who saved her, having
first made her swear that she would tell nothing.
They discovered flirt the little girl was in bed, anal
pawed their hinds over her eyes to perceive if Ate
was asleep. Bastide proposed to get rid of her, but
Bancal declared he would never consent to it; his!
wife said she would have no i.bjectioa for four haft
sired francs. The next day the child ►aw Bast.de
return about six o'clock ; they sent her to take some
soup to her father ; she went without fear, because
she knew her father would not kill her. In fact he
embraced her. and wept as he exclaimed, Le always ,a
geed girl. This child declares that the Lady to a
black veil, who was in the closet, and who cause out
in man's clothes, was Madame Manion-

MILAN, SEPTP:MBER Is.
The Abbe Angelo Mai, one of the Librarians of
the Ambrosian Libra, y here, has discovered, that
two voluminous manuscr pts cant.iin a second writ-
ing, under the first (the finding of one work written
over, or bass een the lines of another, in order to save
parchment, is an occ:irrence well kn;iwn to antiqua-
rian critics). This is a copy of the Maio-Gothic
translation of the thirteen Epistles of Saint Paul,
made in the fourth" century by &shop Ulphilas, the
I.4ts of which has been regretted to this day.
Ulphilas translated all the Bible into the Mein-
Gothic language.—that is to say. the language of the
Collis of Ma ia. There remains of this translation
.nly the Codex drgentere Upsal, containing a con-
siderable part t.f the Four Gospels, published in
ltifig by Fulani's Junius, and a manuscript of Viol.
tenbuttel, containing several versei of the fire chap-
ters of the Ulphilanian translation of the Epistle of
Paul to the Romans, on which Francis Knittel com-
mented in 1702. By him they were discovered.
The present Manuscripts contain eight Epistles,
at least in part. They may furnish a great oppor-
tunity for biblical criticism, and lor the students of
German antiquities. They are written in a hand-
writing which is different from that of the other, and
which appears to be of the fifth or sixth century.
