Yelterday at St. Cloud Madame Polignac
threw herfelf at the feet of the Emperor, as he
was paliing through the Hall where he receives
the Mnfters to the apartment of the EmpreiS,
& duplicated him forthe pardon of her huiband.
She had been from6 A. NJ. with the Empress,
who in the kindeft aud mott affecting manner
had not only fupp5ited and encouraged her,
but had cOntrived the means of an interview
with the Emperor. The prefence of woman
in place which women are not permitted to en-
ter, occaiioned fome firprife in his Imperial
Majeity, when, burlting into tears, fhe informed
him that fhe was Madame poiignac. The EN-
pcror topped, regarded her with attention, and
eXpreded his atOnilhment that M. dc Polignac,
whom he had remembered as the companion of
his youth at the Military School, ihould have
engaged in fuch an odious 'traniaGtion.-Ma-
dame Polignac, as well as the violence of her
grief would allow her, attempted to exculpate
crimes which are forbidden by honor as well as
by the laws. The accents of her grief gave ad-
ditional force to her duplication and his I'm
peral Majefy, who vas very much affected on
| the location, replied" AS the attempt was a.
gainft my own life, may be jufified in pardon
| ing him, and pardon him accordingly" When
! he heard with condefcending attention the ex-
preiiions of her gratitude, he faid, I" they are
very culpable indeed, who employ their mott
faithful iervantS in fuch criminal and i'll contri-
we'd undertakings. They cannot juhify the ex-
Poiure of their young people 10 dangers which
! they do not ihare with them"
