LA FAYSTIT was instantly berried into coiinement

that LA Fi'vrna was retained in custody at the in-
stance of the Court of Aestria, and if tle King of
Peussia so far favoured his brother of Austria as to
become his gaoler—he possessed despotic power to

A French Gentleman who lately returned from
England, and dressed in the English style. was tra-
velling to Paris ; at the inn he supped at nn the road,
having called for a bottle of wine, and asked what
was to pay for it, was told five francs, upon which he
remarked, that he had travelled that road often and
used the same inn, but never was charged more than
thirty sous before for the same sort of wine. The
discovery was then made that the Gentleman was a
Frenchman; the woman who kept the Inn begged his
pardon, and assured bins she had taken him for an
Englishman. This hint may put our countrymen
upon their guard as to the impositions practised on
them in France.

A few evenings since a young woman named Anne
Finley, who had come by the coach from Buckland,
in Dorsetshire, on her way to the service of a fami-
ly in town, was met by a fellow in Knightsbridge,
where the coach had stopped a short time, when he
accosted her, and enquired if she was not the person I
who was 06 her way to her new place? she replied in the
affirmative, and he having examined the card affixed
to her trunk, said it was all right, end as he was or-
dered to meet her he wished to take her the nearest
way. He then proposed carrying her trunk, cud
led her through. the Green Park into St. James's,
over the Pagoda Bridge, and into Westminster,;
where, after taking a timber of turns, he gtopOsi at
a house nest a gateway. Here he desired her $o re.
main, white he went in the back way and deposited
the trunk, when he would afterwards let her in by
the front door. The credulous girl waited nearly
half an hour, and no door being opened, nor her
pretended new fellow.servatit appearing, she at 1
length knocked at the door, and state) the circum-
stance, but discovered too late that she bad been
grossly imposed upon. The gateway through which
the marauder passed having led to ano,lier street, he
naturally esceped. The situation of the poor girl,
an utter stranger, may easily be conceived, deprived
'as she was by this nefarious act of he► little all. In
her trunk were contained soma 'Bank-notes and
silver, a pair of ear-rings, a brooch, and some fa.
mily trinkets, and various articles of wearing ap-
parel.
