Inc Advertiser OF yesterday has some stale
ments relative to the Rossi affair, that mus, have
crept into his colHmns without his KNOWLEDGE
ouF understanding OF the matter is, that Montres-
sor nsulred Pantanel very grossly while at re-
hearsal one day,-that the case was examined Of
acially,- that Montressor was thrown into prison.
that by being taken thence to the theatre. and
PACK again, he was compelled to perform his du.
ty,-that his appearance was hailed, in Parisiana,
with great noise and enthusiasts, by the Cortex
Party,-hat this display of political fury was dis.
approved OF by the Governor-and that, for this
lht'er reason, and no other was Moutressor Ian.
ls'ed the Island. He cnme to this CITY. Rossi
had been, during her sojnurn at Havana, negligent
oil her duties, and was of course obliged to paw the
penalties usually exacted on such occasions,-
brlchta came over here with his company, men,
bers OF which were Valtellina aud Rossi. He had
arranged matters SO as to give a new Opera every
third night Mon'ressor finding that Mr. Caldwell
had nothing to do with engaging members of the
troupe, and still cherishng his hatred 10 Panta-
nelli, whom he had wantonly injured, determined
on the petty revenge of inducing part of the com.
paiy to violate their engagements. Rossi was
onyabe; he secured his services. Madame Rossi
still smarting under the penalties she had paid at
Havana, from her o,ca fault, readily consented, and
oc'hg beloved by Valtellina,she absconded in COM
pany with her paramount and husband Thus did
Montressor make good his boast,-Mat lie left his
friends andhis vengeance behind him
Such, weahnve understood, to be the main fucts
connected with this wonderful affair!
