NEW YORK.
Fog sale 322 Broadway.


York, 25th Dec lSsS-and purports to give sketch
OF the life and character of the Rev. gentleman; all
OF which the afidavits pronounce to be tissue Of
gross falsehOods, from the beginning to the end.
The persons arrested, Simeon Talfert or Tai
pert residing at IS Read street, where the work is
for sale-also one Patrick Brady, an Irishman, who
mad been detected in Broadway, vending the libel
under the sign of portable flag. Warrants were
also issued for the arrest of p Barthelemy the wri
terand also person by the of de Bouillon who
is charged with being of the principal authors
and fabricators ofthe calumnies. On Saturday. Bar
theiemy was detected in the act of vending the
brochure, but whether he has been vet arrested we
know not De BouilIon, formerly resided at l26
Franklin street, but, up to late last night he had
eluded the pursuit of the officers.
This affair will, probably, turn out in the devc-
lopement to be of the most extraordinary that
ever took place in New York. All the principal
persons engaged in the conspiracy against Mr.. YER
rem, are Frenchmen and Frenchwomen, of very
doubtful and very questionable characters. DeBoui-
Ion, who is charged with being the author of the
caumnies, is an ex-Jesuit, having been educated
by branch society of that holy observation-disclosures
dOned them-got himself WIFE and came to this
country a few years ago, in search of bread. From
pure charity, the Rev. Mr.. Verren took him out of
the streets, almost beggar, fed and clothed him.
and the first chance he had this holy Jesuit turned
against his benefacter, and has attempted to as
perse his character and destroy his reputation. He
has been French teacher in some families here.
and his wife still remains here in similar ca
pacity. His private history is curious and eccen-
trio.
p Barthelemy, another of the clique, came to this
country few years ago. for the purpose instruct
ing the Poudrette Company, in the mysteries of q
new species of manufacture, not necessary to indi-
cate more particularly. He has had some transae-
tions with ID. X. Minor, Esq of a curious charae-.
ter Barthelemy processes to have been a writer for
one OF the Parsian journals other cunts state
that he was aspy in the service of the Police under
Charles y, and that whom the revolution of 1870,
broke out, he left Paris some secret expedition
of the Carlists- He is a very singular looking man.
He is lame in of his feet one leg being shorter
than the other, causes him to walk with crutch
We remember about a fortnight ago his appearance
in Office with this brochure in his hand offering
1t to us to review AT that time we thought it was
volume Of sermons by Mr. verren, and laid it
aside, do all such dull books look at during
our leisure. Only few days ago, we learned
through the American that the work contained some
of the most extraordinary charges against the Reve
rend gentleman in question.
The other parties arrested in this singular affair
were agents vendors; but there are still behind
the curtain several other Frenc hmen or Frenchwo-
men, who have formed very remarkable clique, or
cofes or conspiracy for the last few years. for the
purpose OF concocting SANDERS against conspicuous
persons and families, and then, through anonymous
letters, exorting money 20 prevent the PRONUNCIATION
OF their own fabrications These persons have made
handsome living out of this strange business
In the Of Mr.. Verren, about 81 900 were de-
handed by the holy brotherhood,b by this new "School
for Scandal" to suppress their own inventions. We
learn also, that of the females Of this clique was
the person who sent few years ago the poisoned
coffee to the family Of Mr. OTIS and at the same time
charged another highly respectable family with their
own crime; and all done in order to crafty some
private revenge cxtort money. SO also with the
| SANDERS against the Rev Dr. Hawkes., which Sian
dcrs taken up by the fool Dixon and published
for which he suffered very justly on BlackweIPs
Island.
| One Of the most curious plans by which this
cots,is approached their object was, by ymous
letters, written like could be the hand writing
Of the persons whom they had selected for their
victims. The Rev. Mr. yerren has been, for the
last year, the principal mark Of these personages
| II was supposed he had moncy-and that from his
utter ignorance Of the world and child-like simpl-
city OF character, he would be inundated into any
amount Of black-mail Ii is fortunate, however, for
the peace oil many ianiiIes, moving IN the highest
ranks Of life, that this secret coteTe has been dis
covered, and that steps have been taken to eveope
their schemes and to bring them, ultimately, to JUS
| tice. The brochure, which bears the name Of p.
Barthcemy, ie dabie boifeur Of the ooteris though
written by him, the Joint production Of the whole

the life Of Louis Philippe There nidels, and

| Tomorrow we shall enter upon a review Of this
singular book and developc Of the strangest plots
that ever Matched in the hot beds Of Partisan in
trigue, for the destruction Of character life any
thing We shall extract Of the most extraar-
binary passages from the work, together with sach
explanations as gill astonish the community. II will
