Mark Anne Goujot, daughter of a farmer at Rut
'near St. Dizitr, has lodged an appeal-from the sentence
-of the Co. sectional Police, Which had condemned her to
•an imprisonment of 15 months, as gully of swindling
under the disguise of a non. Whilst she was yet very
young, she had frequently visited the convent, to which
two of her sisters belonged, and the monastery of the
44 Brothers of Christian Doctrines" at Portieuz, of which
'ter brother was an affiliate., member. At an early age
she became a nun herself, and entered successively into,
several relitrous societies at St. Denii: The last whictt
-she tinkle was that of the G. Sisters of Providence,'
which she pretended was governed by regulations of
'too austere a .character. On leaving it, she. devoted
herself to a species of swindlieg, which of late years has
• become much too common.

In her last convent, Anne Goujot bad found a certi-
•ficate, w hich had been given to slow young. novices of
-the south, to authorise them to solicit alma in fitront of
'the establishments for young *Male Orphans. Hawking
that document about. and clad - in her costume 'of a
•nun, she set herself busily to work to obtain .alms for
.the young orphans; and largereceipts witted id to
%courage her seal. BuCat last she-was ihrleherigett 0!

of the name of Chatriol, it whose houfestrictrisbeff to
lake advantage of the charity of the public, mid who
asked her to show him the authority under which she
acted. It was soon discovered that istiehad asked alms,
not only for the establiehdenti of young fensale orphans,
bet also for the poor of her parish. She pretended that
ber object•was to found an establishment for young rti.
Mule orphans ; that she was in want of fundito accons
,plash that object, but that she would soon-be able to
collect them by the assistance of certain ladies, witoie
passes she pretended to hate forgotten. • •
Being conducted to ber own hoti>fe'by an agent of the'
ipoljoe; the lady took Tito her own custody several anti.
cies of property. The police officer, observing her bide,
something very carefully under a towel, asked her whit
she was &saying away ? A few setts." she replied.
The officer seized the toweVefithined it, and found
12,0001rancs in it.. On their road' she Biked bin) to give
her bank notes for this sum, and proposed to him to;
keep one for himself. The Aker replied with great
-saisz hold to the ex-nun « Viddinnts," and on their
:meal at the police dice, paid this money into court.
The accused acknowledged that it was the produce of
her begging. • •
Goujot, who is 39 years of age, appeared tads, be-
fore the Court in a dress half religious, and with all the
outward appearance of affected my sticibm. During the
whole of her examination she' kept her' eyes slitit. When
examined as to her occupation,' she replied that.the was a
semstiess. She added, however, that she retained the
dress of her society, and that she did not intend to
change ir, because the fiord to enter her convent again.
Assuming a tone of inspiration, and raising her eyetto
Heaven, she declared that her object had been' to raise'
an establishment for the support of unfortunate orphans,
and th't the idea of'it bad come to her !tom above.
The President—Your idea was good, but we too*
that many prisons crothe themselves in the sacred gaihl
of religion, to excite the pity of pious persons'; and chef
convert the money they receive to their own purp' otiess,
lf, instead of keeping in your own possession the money
designed for these unfortunates, you had divided' it,
among them, you would have carried comfort to the
bosoas of many. .
Witnesses were called, who deposed.to the facts which,
gave rise to the prosecution. After they hid fully
proved them, the prisoner said, " Everybody Lai- I on-,
erred against me. My confessor, the Abbe de Villas',

which provesthe honesty of My inteutiona.*
This certificate was then read.. The Abbe deposed
in it that Ifferie Goujot intended is good 'comet to
form an establishment for young feentlempliansi *that
the money which she hid collected' was de:titled to that

ANCONA, Sur. IL
It is IsPre. confid•utly :Aimed that the Dardanelles
will be blockaded by the Russians, and that the Rus.
sian sqoadroir has already received orders to that effect,
because the Porte makes mare resistance than was ex-
pected, and Maisie must think of employing all the
means wh.ch it can „command in order to give a deci-
sive thus io the war. Great doubts, however, are en.
tettaissed .whether England will assent to this new
measure of-Russia; end it is lo'ked upon as a departure
from the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6:11 of July,
by which 'Admiral tleyden has hitherto acted in cuncert
with the English and French Admirals. The blockade
of the Dardanelles, if it should really be executed by
the Ruisian Cabinet, would Cause a considerablesschisns
in the political relations of Europe.
SarrslB..—Ttroirgh apprehensions have been enter.
tained at Corfu- that Ibrahim would not voltintarily
leave the 'Mores, no account of ar.y hostility had ,been
received up to the 10th, and the merchants were. vary
impatient 'tor audieutic accronts, as the blockade has
cut off:Almost di.conopereialintercourse With the:Mores.
The letters, from Corfu speak in favourable terms
the, great irOptovements in she administration of Greece
throigh the exertions-of Count Cape dlstria ,• but with
'respect to the military ASIA, they are in a deprolible
c.oetijit'she, especially in the land forces. The Corsiosau•
deer, at variance with each other, are not obeyed by
the troops; and it is surprising, under such circum-
stances, that the military operations have been so well
conducted as has been the case. Thus part of the troops
hndet General Church lately mutinied and demanded
higher Poly, and the Captains with great difficulty re-
stored order, by promising that their claims.should be
attended to. It is true, indeed, that things ate no bet-
ter among the Turks, for though the leaders agree, the
troops, and even Whole tribes, manifest discontent and'
a spirit of rebellion. Thus the. Albanians lately mutt-.
'tied against Ibrahim Pacha, and the Arnauts are now
In rebellion agAnst Redscbid Pacha. The Seraskier,
indesid;ls said to take all measures to. snake himself
domed. and to have imprisoned several chiefs of the
Minces at Janina, who had ventured to apply to the
Sultan to dismiss Redschid. It is said that OmerVrione
is the active though secret instigator pf discontent with
the Seraskier.

SWISS DISCIPLINE.

The Constiftlionnei of Wednesday contains a long
and rather curious detail of the proceedings of a Mili-
tary .Court Martial, composed of Swiss Officers. The
Council assembled at Breteuil, near the Barrier of
Sevres, in the middle of a square formed by the 7th
' Swiss Regiment of the Garde Royale, to try a serjeant
and six Swiss soldiers, who were charged with violence
towards several individuals, and intoxication, whilst on
dety the llth September last, at the Rue deVangiratd.
This Council bad for the President M. Keiser de Frauens
'Win. Captain Commandant. It was composed of too
Commissaries, who were delegated to support the
charges, and eight Lieutenants. The members of the
Coshed took their seats round a table covered with
gmencluth. The President produced the Swisi penal
mole and the forms of proceedii go The Officers on
tbeeccasion, laid aside their stiff collars and their gloves,
because the Swiss code requires, as a sign of indepen-
dence, that 1., y should sit, not as 'oldie's, but as Ma-
itistretes. Tne Grand Judge commenced the proceed-
, by placing his sword upon the table. He then
announced to the Council that it was summoned by
order of the Colonel to try Serjeant Winchard and six
tusileers; the Serjeaot for abuse of authority and im-
proper conduct, detrinsental to the service of the King,
and the honour. of the regiment. The privates were
charged with disorderly behaviour on duty.
TO Judge administered to the Council an cattle—
that they would examine the evidence and decide con-
scintiously, without partiality, and conformably to the
sights and liberties of Swiss troops in the service of his
most Chriitian Majesty. All the aims rose, haying
their right hands raised and three first lingers open. In
that position they said one after the other the following
words7-4I I swear in truth to do so, and I pray GOD to
4414 rue." .
• The charge, which was repeated by all the officers
, alternately, continued four hours and a half, during
which it rained incessantly. An immense crowd of
spectators surrounded the square. It appeared that the
berjeant and his companions got drunk with eau de vie,
Ind in that condition ill treated a chiffosiniere (rag-
, picker). A crowd collected, and several inhabitants
who interfered were also ill used. 'McConnell declared

die Men guilty. The serjeant was sentenced to be eon
fined one year in irons, and to suffer military degrade
dims to'finfeit kis Pah. War the rights of a citizen, and

be for,ever rendered incapable of serving in the Swiss
troops. The six privates were sent to undergo another
trial befote a Council of Their regiment.
The ,erjeant wok% then snipped of his arms. cap. and
uniform. and led about one hundred yards from the
regiment.
The privates were afterwards tried. and were expelled
from the regiment.
