daring the nights he had not heels able to get ■oy
information about his wife and chitdrets), and more-
over in great pain from a blow he had received in'
his side. The joy of meeting hill, for a moment
calmed the bitterness of her anguish, and her great
courage still more helped her at least to dissemble
her feelings ; but w hat most comforted her was the
Manner in which our good peasants received us all.
They had been mote lucky that, we had ; the best
part of them had brought bedding, blankets, and
handles of doilies with them, all of which was per- 11
frctly at our service. One altered us bread and
fresh butter, whilst the old women went to milk the
cows they had brought into the forest wills them,
sad all wept more over their good Lord •nd Lady
than over themselves. After we had been seated
;Here about an h,,ur, we began to reflect on what
lee had to ; and then, for the first time, we re-
collected that Dune of us had a farthing ice our pockets.
I immediately offered so go to the castle, and fetch
from it what I could; Mrs. de illiA Di's youngest niet e
(limas) seconded the motion, which being accepted,
though with difficulty, we set oil well accompanied,
and walked bravely on. What was our joy, my
d,.ar Magi, when, on approaching the Castle, we
saw the yard almost clear, and learned, by some
people we met, that those espected that morning
were slot yet arrived. We had the good luck to get
to Mr. de BRADI'S desk, and get from it the little
money it contained : hardly had I put it into my
pocket, when the noise of their boots and swords an-
flounced their arrival in the parlour close by us;
which, I assure you, quite terrified me; however, I
persisted is. seeking for the key of Mrs. de BRADI'S
till, in order to take what money was in it ; but to
my great sorrow I was unable to find it, and obliged
to esrape with what I had, whilst Lautta had the
courage to remain, rummaging the drawers and cup•
boards fur linen and clothes. I hastened back to the
forest with my small treasure; when I came there, I
found the family had gone farther, as every moment
more alarming news came from the castle, on their
obstinacy in persisting to find the Mayor. LAURA

two servants, who, like her, were loaded with what
clothes of ours they had been able to lay hold of ;
whilst, against all the holiness of the peaceful con-
vention, the enemy was visiting another part of the
castle. A guide having led us to the place where
were Mrs. de ILIAD( and family, it was resolved we
&maid strive to reach Orleans, and pass the bridge,
if iiur winter safety should require it. Consequent-
ly we set out, some of us barefoot, others half shod,
amt all in most miserable attire, with our bundles on
our beads, and a loaf for our only provision. It
was then about nine, the sun extremely hot, and uo
river near to quench our thirst and refresh our 4eet,
which soon became blistered and sore.
After six hours walking across the forest we at
last came to the gates of Orleans. There we changed
ear dress and took some refreshment ; every where

—" H. ere there is a great deal of conversation about,
the King's journey to Paris, which, according to cane
jecture, will take place on the 4th of the following'
month; but whatever may be said, few give med.
credit to the report, as they see on preparations lot
the undertaking. The news which it is supposed has
reached Government respecting the traessartions in
America, and particularly of General Moetuto's I
expedition. are little satisfactory. Desertion spa
epidemic disorders have caused a melancholy re-
duction in that body of troops. Nevertheless, the
Government is not disheartened, and still entertains
the idea of sending additional forces to America.--I
But, to the accomplishment of all these projects, the
first obstacle is, the want of money, which on the
present occasion will not be felt so long as com•
merce can supply it. The Inquisition has just pub-
lished a long decree, prohibiting, under pain of the
greater excommunication, the sale of a considerable
number of hooks. The catalogue of books, the pa-
resat of which is prohibited in this and other edicts
of the Holy Office, is so extensive, that it exceeds
the list of the non-prohibited, and would reader it
easier for an edict to comprehend the former than
the latter. This Holy Tribunal, doubtless to afford]
a proof of its well-known impartiality, has put it,
the head of the prohibited Hit those various works
that attacked its own existence. Amon others of
this character, I have remarked the speeches
livered in the extraordinary Cortes by the Deputiesl
Lerva, Villa Nueva, and Reuz, with the appendis
to that of the latter, the conversations of the Curtiss
del Perrino, the Critical Uurlesqwe Dictionary, &c."

the most celebrated practical farmers. Ninety

soil, and clay, by lime, gave general satisfaction,
and promises to be an important discovery, as it
supersedes the trouble which has hitherto attend-
ed burning, and bids fair to bring poor soils much
sooner on a par with those of superior quality. The
Society came to an unanimous vote—" That the

Mrs. de BR tot often repeats 4 Siyirig of her mo.

hind that most real virtues are to be found." We have
now the full persuasion of it by experience. The
Prussians orere to occupy the town ors the evening
of the day we arrived at Orleans, coosequently we
did not lose a moment in passing the Loire, where
we are still, better off than we expected, though we
sleep eight in a room.
It was bet last night that we could get abetter

eldest daughter, who is extremely delicate in point
of health and constitution. Mrs. de BRAD,. thank
Goo, has got through the fatigue pretty well : our
feet begin to be well. For our misfortunes we have
nothing to do, and cats get no books or work, so
that our principal occup•Jion, for want of better,
are washing and combing ourselves from morning to
sight, or running needles into the blisters of our
feet to dininish the pain. Before you receive this we
shall be quite well ; but Goo knows when we shall
see our dear Rebrechienj again, for, since our de.
parture, not a day has passed without some now ex-
cesses being committed. 1 hope, my dearest sister,
you will find my letter long enough, and that you
will not reproach me with neglect. Adieu, my

DEAR BROTIIER,—I should have sent you the ori-
ginel of the foregoing, es MAItY requested ; but bar-
ing shown it to the Marquis d'EsnaraY, he begged
me to copy it, and let him hare the original, that
he might present it to the Duke of WELLINGTON,
hoping, by his influence, to put a stop to the outrages
which the Prussian troops commit in all the villages
of France: I could not refuse him.—l do not know
whether ANT'S letter has had any effect or no; bet
the Prussian troops are withdrawn from Rebrechien,
and Ally is returned to the Castle. Madame de
Nth:, as soon as the danger was over, fell ill and
remained at Orleans ; her husband is better. Who
could have thought that she, who, when a Child, was
afraid of a fly, should ever hare faced such dangers
so bravely. _ _

ALAS/at/4n MOB IN OXFORD Seine.--Since
4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon instil a late hoar last
night, the space in front of the house of Ltra and
Co. has been occupied by an assemblage of several
hundreds. It appears that oh. Tuesday afternoon
some cries of murder were heard proceeding from the
house of Mrs. Lava, and a person in apparels( sofa.
ing was seen at one of the upper windows of the
twine. A report was instantly eireeleted that it was
a young female, who heti presented bersglf at the
window for the purpose of throwing herself out from
the hands of her murderer ; `4 her head was Streaming
with blood," and whets she bad approached the win-
dow she was suthionly dragged back, end supposed
to have met her death. This relation naturally ex-
cited the indignation, as well as the number of the
enraged populace, and it soon became necessary to
call its the aid of the peace officers, when an investi-
gation of the matter took place, and the following
explaustion was given Lava, it appeared,
had sent her son of a message on Tuesday, who, in-
stead of executing it, thought proper to stroll to the
fair, for which, upon his return home, he was justly
punished. Being naturally of a violent and perverse
disposition, he resisted the chastisement, though
slight, and by his screams and cries of murder, had
excited the alarm of a few individuals, who had mis-
taken or misrepresented the fact. This explanatiou
I was not considered fully satisfactory by the creda-
-1 lout multitude, who until a late hour last night, re-
mained before the house, calling out for the body
of the murdered person, as well as that of the

The Recorder of London has had an accident and

Between 11 and It o'clock on Saturday night, a
6re broke out in a hop-nest at Wingham, occupied
by Mr. Eiger, sen., which in a short time entirely
consumed the building with its contents; about 6ve
or six cwt. of hops; an adjoining cottage was also
on 6re, but being built chiefly of bricks, it was not
materially injured. The Ore was occasioned by the
nursling of a flue, and its progress was so rapid,
that it was with some difficulty the drier and some of
the pickers who slept in the oast, made their escape
from the t►pper windows of the building.

Monday morning it pitched battle was fought near
the Queen's Head and Artichoke in the Regent's
Park, between Janes Green, ■ blacksmith, and

battle, which lasted 36 minutes, victory was declared
in favour of Shakespeare.
Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Church-yard,
and other western parts of the city, were on Tuesday
night involved in Egyptian darkness, by the sudden
disappearance of the Bass•lights, owing, we under.
'Mini, to the impetuous rushing of a large body of
water into the principal gassometer. The instao•
lemons change of comparatively meridian light tol
the extreme of nocturnal darkness, gave rive to se.
werel ludicrous scenes, as well in the shops as in the
streets ; nor did the pickpockets fail to turn the
event to their advantage, at the expense of the un•
thinking pedestrians on their way to and from Bar-
tholomew Fair. The cause however being speedily
removed, the atreets resumed their wonted appear-
ance.

laTesurn mitt..—On Wednesday se'nnight a
meeting was to have taken place on the Roodee, at
six o'clock, between Lieutenant N. G. and J. T. Esq.
but was prevented by the former's second and his
brother applying at a late hour the preceding evening
to the Mayor, for his interference; which was of
• course grant.•d, and the parties were taken into
I custody at the place appointed, and bound over in
heavy penalties to keep the peace. An apothecary
likewise made application, and sworethe peace against
the said J. T. Esq. in having demanded satisfaction,
and threatened in case of non-compliance to horse-
whip the said apothecary.—(Chester Paper.)
Yesterday evening, a young woman having ins-
, prudently ventured into one of those dangerous ma.
chines, called swings, in Birtholomew Fair, she was
soddenly thrown out, and precipitated with such
violence upon the ground, that one of her arms was
broken, and the other, as well os her body, severely
ipjured. She was conveyed to the Hospital.
The body of the man whose clothes were found on
the banks of the Thames opposite Lambeth Church,
on Sunday morning, is not yet discovered, his name
was James Smith, a bricklayer, living in the neigh-
bourhood. He has left a pregnant wife and three
children to lament his less. On going to bathe that
morning he called on a neighbour to accompany him;
.Out he refused is get up is early.
