THE STATESMAN.

.hie bland. A bout 7 o'clock a private of the 31 W. I.
Regiment, named Itatcliff, went to the honee of a free
black woman, about 100 yards from the new burying
ground at Lapeyronze, with whom he ba.l previously
had tome duff. , and without any provocation on
her part stabbed her twite with a short knife. As the
wretch indicted the wounds the woman ran out of the
house pursued by her assailant for a short distsneu, when he
returned to the house, and found the clauvliter of said
womae, who that instant entered it. Ile mashed
her with the same koife, and wounded her severely in
the arm. After a scuffle she succeeded in making
her escape. Another woman, who endeavoured
to p his attempt at murder after the first
alarm was given, received • wound from him, which
preempted her from giving any further assist-
ance. After having committed the sanguinary out-
rage, the monster, with a savage ferocity, rushed into
en inner room where two iefaets, one about 4, and the
other about 16 month, old were asleep, seized both
and cut their entrails est. Immediately after which
he seized a dog and killed it. Armed with the blood-
stained knife in one hand, and a pistol in the other,
the inhuman wretch placed himself in the middle of the
road, threatening to be the death of anyone that should at-
tempt to approach to rake him. However, one Serjeant
Cox of the same regiment who happened to be passing
by and hearing his th , made a bold attempt, when
the IMPS'S discharged the pistol at him, bet missing
his meet, thrust his knife into the Serjeant's arm,
which did not, however, discourage him, and he finally
succeeded in taking him, having stunned him bya blow.
At this time the Chief of the Police, who had received
information of what bad occurred arrived, aed com-
mitted the murderer to gaol and had the infants, who were
not quite dead, carried to the military hospital ; they
were accompanied by their mother and sister. We learn
that both the infanta are since dead.

Paris papers which have arrived to the 20th inst.
have brought intelligence from Vieana which Is rather
extraordinary. Count de Lutzow. the Anstrien In.
ternuacio at Constantinople, and the successful ally
of Lord Strangford is all the applications made to the
Divan, has bee. recalled, and the Baron of Ottanfela
has been appointed his successor. This Is said to
have taken place at his own reqaest, but it may also
have been the result of • change of policy in the
Austrian Government. The Emperor. it is oh d,
to show the satisfaction which be has derived from the
services rendered by Count de Lutaow, has conferred
oa him the great cross of the Order of Leopold. Let-
ters, however, from Vienna, of the same date as the
above intelligence state, that In hie last despatch the
latevannelo had eapreseed a hope that be would ulti-
mately succeed in perinading the Porte to comply
with the wishes of Russia. If this statement be COIF
reel, it would show, that instead of having accom-
plished Ills task, Coast de Lutsow was recalled at a
time when it would have bees most Important that he
shoald bare stayed at his post. The same letters say
that the Divan is divided into two distinct portion;
the one headed by the celebrated Haleb Effendi, the
Grand Seignior's f he, and friendly to Lord
Strangford, to concessions sod i tions ; and she
other composed of old Counsellors attached to enclose
institutions. It was in consequence of the former ed
these parties having gained the ascendancy that ordars
bad hien issued to evacuate Wallachia and Moldavia,
slid hew hospodars had been appointed fur those
provinces. The other, however, was making
fresh efforts, and it was impossible to say that
they would not ultimately prove successful.—
The same papers contain a long account of a great
victory said to have been gained by the whole Army
of the Faith over two hundred Constitutionalists, of
whom about forty or fifty were 011111111 prisoners. The
Coastitutionel adds a report that the men taken were
Immediately shot by the Royalis.a. The Court of St.
Petersburg is said to have appointed Baron Thoyll.
of Seraskirclien, its Minister to the United States of
Ilinerica, is the room of Mr. de Ueda*, who was on
his return to Berope.—The English actors were to
