From yoraon una2rs.

The Nuremburg Correspondent, of
March I, contains the following article :
At the besiani.>5 Of the revolution, a
French emigrant family Of distinction.
resided at Frankfort. The lady OF the
house had Just laid in, when news arriT-
ed that the French had crossed the Rhine,
and were rapidly approaching. The ia
mily was forced to fly. The infant, a
Girl, could not be taken with them. Il
was therefore, put to nurse in a poor Ia
mily in the village of T -, where there
is a French colony, and 200 forms were
raid for two years board, in which time
the family hoped to be able to take away
the child. Fate willed otherwise. No
thing further was heard of the family. A
rich miller in the neighborhood offered,
when she was ten years OLD, to take her
and educate her with his children. She
remained in the miller's. house til she
was grown up, when she married young
carpenter, who was poor indeed, Out Of
an excellent character. AT the emo OF
fast wear commercial house IN Frank
fort received from France commission
to look after the woman, and learnt what
we have stated. Ia short time bill OF
exchange for 100 louis d'ors, and after
wards another for 10000 francs were re-
mitted. An estate was purchased near
| She village of b, and the happy pair
reioiced in the prospect OF future comfort.
| But now the wife was called upon by her
parents to leave her husband and return
TO France, as she was OF great family
But the undetermined woman, who had
tlearnt in Germany, German fidelity and
orobity. answered, "that her husband
had taken her when she was poor; that
she had lea with him happy and indus
trious life /; and now that some worldly
goods had fallen to her share, she Worio
not desert him, and would joyiuiiy give
them up again rather than live without
her faithful German husband"

ing of the merchants and manufacturers

at the court house in this place, in con.
sequence of a requisition from the seere-
tary of the chamber OF commerce, to take
into consideration the propriety Of con-
certing measures to oppose any bin that
may be brought into parliament for the
purpose OF imposing duty OH tire i,npor.
tation of foreign rape seed, tallow, and

which had taken place on this subject
with the country members. 1t vas adj.
mitted on all hands that such measure
would be most ruinOus to the WoolIe
manufacture of the country, but as no.
thing defnitne appeared to have been
resolved upon by the ministers ON the
present subject, it was thought prema-
ture to interfere in the early stage OF
the business. either by memorial to
the lords Of the treasury, or petl's1n to
the legislature. 1t was. however. una
nimous'.y resolved, that the adoption Of
the measure alluded to would be attend
ed with the most fatal result to the INA
of the country, and that it
