Mystery erplained.-The English papers
give the following account of a young man who
lately excited SO much curiosity in a provincial
town in France, by his wealth and generosity,
and his arrest by the police:
His name is Antoine Fonrouge; he is sixteen
years old, and is the son of n lace maker, resid-
ing in the rue de Bac. At an early age he
was placed in the house of Mr.. T., Banker,
rue Godot. A sum of 15O00fr. was missing
from the till, as a coupon of 40, O00fr. upon the
Bank of France. In the beginning Of August,
Fonrouge disappeared. Fortunately the cou-
pom, upon which he had forged the signature
M. L., was not paid. With the Is, O0Ofr.
he went to Bar lie DUO, accompanied by a Ger
man woman, named NIolter. 1t appears that
the money which he had stolen, was carried to
this woman's house. The woman, Molter, being
OF foreign origin, about ~forty-six years old, and
having aGerman accent, without doubt suggest.
cd to the two fugitiyes the part which they play
cd for several days. They were furnished with
a passport, which afforded TO Nine. Molter the
facility of travelling puh her son, fourteen
gears Of age. Upon arriving at Duo,
TINS woman, perceiving that she was suspected,
secretly obtained a passport for her pretended
son, aud fled TO Paris, taking with her the sum
OF 2,OOOfr. Antoine Fonrouge, when left alone.
continued to act his part as before and to make
dupes. The Mayor of the village where he So

MED by an harangue. At length Nj. l.. learn
ing that his clerk was in the environs of Bar-lc-
DUO, caused him To he arrested, and he was con
veyed to Paris, where he arrived on the 5th inst.
lie was committed to the prison de la Force,
and upon his declaration, the woman Molter and
three other persons, have been apprehended.
NJ. TALMA.-It is not generally known
that this great tragedian, who has been engaged
by Mr.. G. Kenble to play at Coyent-G Garden
for twelve nights, is an Englishman. He was
born in Dean street, Soho, and LETT England at
a very early age, but his pronunciation of the
English language IS almost perfect. The per-
sonal character of VI. TaIIna is as amiable as his
hlstrionic talents are at this moment unequal
led, and his attachment for his countrymen is
without bounds. although his long residence in
France has rendered him in some sort a French
man. NJ. laiina was the personal friend of
Bonaparte, and was one OF the few who dared TO
speak openly TO that ruler, and by his candour
and good conduct he has continued, notwith-
standing the libet hlity of his political opinions,
to secure the friendship of the leading 5elnbers
OF the present dynasty. The house and purse
OF Nj. Ialma has ever been open to distressed
talent, and the most fortunate of the literary and
theatrical world, amongst whom we reckon
'ohn hem6ie, were happy to cultivate his ac-
quaintance. But vi. Talma has a claim to the
good will of Engiishmen, which all their respects
ana attentions cannot discharge. The monu.
ment erected III the south Of France, at an ex-
pense OF more than 90, 900 francs, to the memo
ny Oh The daughter OF our immortal Young, was
the work of Talma. There is sometime ro-
mantle and affecting about the history of this
young iadys death. She was a Protestant. and
the abomhnable bigotry of the Roman Catholic
priesthood denied to her corpse interment in
consecrated ground. Under these circunstan-
ces the author of Night Thoughts dug a grave
Tor his beloved child, in his garden, and buried
her with his own hands. This affecting scene
has been pcrPetuated by a well executed print,
published In Paris, and the erection of the mo-
nufnent by Talma, will transmit an useful lesson
TO Posterity. Ii is gratifying to state that this
act has met with the appreciation of every re-
necting and well-meaning man in France. In
deed, we are happy to find that every day briDos
