In Paris there lived widow who, although
she was not young, had every inclination to be
thought so, and possessed beauty enough to Sc
cond her pretenson>. She had daughter,
about the age Of fifteen, whom she thought it
prudent to keep in retirement, because she fear

happens in such cases, her precautions turned
out to be useless E.crv sun that rose din-

those of her daughter increased; and although
Madame de Mesnil might have overlooked, or
pardoned this, yet, when she found (as she did
aiterwards) that her daughters modes,y and

Accounts has been received at Glib
ra,tar direct from Catalonia, and which
were confirmed by letters from the in
termsdlate ports, that the inhabitants OF
the principal towns ofthat province had
risen simultaneously aud declared in
favor OF the lnianta Don Carlos. Con-
siderable Importance was attached to the
news as the French troops rad been
Withdrawn from Madrid and returned to
Frsnce.-The only posts held by them
were Barcelona and Cadiz. During the
last three month. Ferdinand has been
assembling large force on the Portu-
guese frontiers.
At Gibraltar, the case of the two ira
ding schooners of that place, detained
by Hello "Dryad," for being armed
contrary to the navigation laws, had
been brought before the Vice Admiral
ty Court. The judge declined to de-
eide on the point, as he did not consid-
err that tribunal competent one for
that purpose. The result had given
great satisfaction to the mercantile in
terest. which had previously subscribed
50, 200 dollars to carry the affair before
the British Legislature, in case of need.
The vessels in question, were laden, as
usual, with English manufactures, and
American tobacco for the coast of Spain
