Interesting from Europe.

A commercial friend has favored us with
file of the Gibraltar Chronicle to the Goth
of January. The paper OF the latest date
contains an extract, under the Paris head of
the 18th, which furnishes some interesting
facts from ST. Petersburgh, which is, at pres
ent, the most interesting place, i'll political
point OF view, in Europe 1t appears by the
annexed details, that the report respecting
the remuneration of Constantine, and access
ion of Nicohlas, is confirmed, though not
without bloodshed. The Manifesto, which
is said to explain the causes which induced
Constantine to renounce the throne in favor
OF his brother, is not given i'll the Gibraltar
papers. We presume, however. that the
principal reason assigned, is the fact of his
having on his marriage with the daughter of
Polish gentleman, signed paper renouncing
all his rightst the throne in favor of his broth

Horrid efccts Of Jealonsy.-a trial IS
shortly to take place before the Court OF AS
size here, which will present some very ex-
traordinarv features of love. jealousy, and
cruelty. The prisoner is Madame Lafos-

General Bertrand Madame Lafnsse, it APP
pears, fell desperately in love with Mr..
Walk ener, matchmaker to the King, young
man SO wears of age, possessing handsome
person and very engaging manners. The
passion of the lady, though manifested re-
peatediv, and in the most unequivocal man
ner, met with no return from Mr.. Walken-
er.
AS a proof Of the violence of her passion
the following instance may be mentioned -
One evening, OIL Mr.. Waikener quitting his
house, he found waiting for him, near the
door, Madame I.afosse, clothed in costly
robe Of black velvet After having in vain
supplicated him 10 return with her to his
house. she threw herself forthwith at his
feet aud renewed her entrcaties accompa-
MED with tears and sobs. Mr.. Walkener.
While raising her up, perceived knife in
the folds OF her pocket handkerchief, and
drealing the use she might make OF it, took
to fight. He informed the police of the i'm
portuhitirs Of Madame Lafosse, and declar-
ed to the Prefect of Police, that he was cer-
tain he should meet with his death at her
hands M Walkencr was attached to We
ry pretty girl, 90 years Of age. This cir
eumstance coming to the knowledge OF Mad
anne Latossc she became Inspired with the
utmost fury of jealousy, and determined to
wreak her vengeance upon the cause of it,
For this purpose she provided herself with
a bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid, (oi
of vitriu@ and putting on two pair of thick
gloves, She repaired one morning at an early
hour to the lodgings Ct this unfortunate girl,
whom she found in bed. She poured guam
tlty of the sulphuric acid upon her glove-co-
vered hands, and then rubbed them over the
face, neck, bosom, and shoulders of her ILL
iatcd rival.
The poor girl sent forth the most agoniz-
ing cries, and endeavonred to sl.ied herstl If
tiom the Burning liquid. In the struggle
! somc drops of the acid were thrown upon
the face of Madame Lafosse, which now
bears three distinct marks of it. She has
been arrested. and the proceedings before
the examining Judge being now nearly COM
pieted, she sill, in all probability, be brought

! life OF her victim isnow declared out OF dam
ger, but her beauty is gone forever. Mad

her vengeance. having changed her rival in
