fail but produce a suitable impression on the minds of

DEFAULrERs IN FRANcE.--Though the laws Of
France make that country an FL Dorado for de-
faulters, swindlers, monied rascals generally from
other countries, yet when one of her officers hap
pens, whether through misfortune or knavish
spirit, to become defaulter TO the government,
he experiences treatment different from that
which foreign peculators meet with. A recent
case OF the kind shows how little mercy is ex-
tended in France to native defaulters. A MrDu-
rand collector of the direct taxes Of the first dis
trict of Paris, was arraigned before the Crimi-
nal Court charged with having embezzled and
peculated GU the public monies TO the amount of
six thousand dollars The accused bore an excel
lent character and was of an advanced age. Du-
ring long life this was the first stain on his cha
racter. The embezzlement dated several wears
back. IL commenced with the abstraction Of small
sums, portions of which were from time TO time
replaced, so as TO conceal the delinquency His
family expenses were shown 10 have been on a
moderate and economical scale. Unlucky specu-
ations out Of Office were the sole cause OF bctray-
ing him intoghe embezzlement On the Trial ma
ny witnesses testified to the unblemished morali-
ty and respectability of his life Great exertions
were made in his behalf but notwithstanding the
jury brought in verdict Of guilty. II might have
been supposed that the moral respect, the domes-
tic frugality, and the old public services of Du.
rand would have entitled him to the utmost len-
ty that an indulgent jury could extend. Defalca-
ton however in France is crime too heinous to
be palliated by previous good conduct, or merito-
rious services. The sentence of the court against
the prisoner was, eight years of hard labor in the
galleys, exposure in the pory, fine Of four thou
send francs, and an additional twelve months i'm
prisonment if the fine were not paid-N Y. Sun
