he came there. The government here made
every inquiry and communicated the replies
TO the ambassador, whose subsequent cor
respondence with our governor induced the
marchoness of Hastings, when her husband
was governor, to ouffer him an appointment
under government, which Carlo declined.
A short time after, Carlo received letter
from the bank of Munich, stating that E7O00
was laid in at his disposal. Carlo drew for
$4,000, and the bank failing afterwards,
that was all he got of it, Such a variety of
curious events induced him to ask his sup
posed mother who he was. She said she
did not know ; he was not her son, but was
put to her charge in Scotland, when only a
few months old the other boy was her own
son. Sometime after this, Carlo received
letter from a banker in Paris, stating that
general KellermaD was dead, aud in his
will had left him $4,000 francs, deposited
in his bankers, hands, to remain at his dis
pOsal. After few more months, he recely-
ed letter from lady in Scotland, stating
that she was his sister, and that il, he would
meet her at Paris, she would go there TO see
him. BY the advice his employer, MIR. X.

carriage drove to the door of the house he
put up at, out Of which stepped one of the
chief bankers of Paris, who insisted OH his

his sister, an elegant and accomplished la
dy, who had been accompanied from Scot
land by and elderly lady from Caithness.
She told Carlo, she did not know who they
were, but that she herself was placed with
the old lady when about three months old,
with ample means 10 bring her up in the
style she had done, and enough to support
her so as to move in society equally elegant
ly educated. Carlo accompanied his sister
to England, and being of an eccentric turn,
and penurious, he returned to his employ
ment in Malta. Two years afterwards, he I
received letter from Coutt's bank stating
that his sister was dead, and thai ElO, 900
were deposited in their hands, arising ont of

affected at the loss of his sister, that he would
never afterwards sleep in bed. Within the
last six months he has received letters from
Paris, Vienna, and different parts of Europe
