sand dollars had been made to me by the
Minister of the French Empire, General
Thurcau, for the suppression of certain
manuscript announced III the papecs un-
der the title of" The Imperial Court &c."

true that an aid-dc-camp had called upon
me, and that q conversation had passed

New York, June !, 1905.
The above article, we conceive, rather
tends to establish than disproye the truth
OF the paragraph alluded 10. The au-
thor of The Imperial Court" admits that
an aid de camp of General Thureau called
upon HIM for the purpose of conoersing ON
the subject of ii. intended publication, and
he does not deny tina, bargain was made,
but merely says, that no " agreement tor.
IL has been concluded IN 30 the frssesf
-fimc''--the meaning of which is, he has
not yet received the whole OF the s,puia-
ted sum. Our Information on this busi-
ness, we have every reason to believe, is
correcl, and in addition TO what was be-
fore stated, we can now mention tnat the
greater part of the Thousand dollars has
actually been paid.
