OccrRREScEeS kLcIERs.-The follow
ing curious event is described by the AL
perian corresdendent Of a French paper,
published at Toulon:
"During the Marshall's last expedition,
one of our chasseurs found, near the tents
Of n tribe we were ravaging, a sack of con-
siderable magnitude. Without seeking to
know ifs contents he fastened it on the crup-
per of the horse. Ere long, to his utter aston
ishment, he heard u human voice issue from
his burthen, and ~dismounted to solve, the
mystery. On opening the sack, he DISCO
yercd a beautiful female between l6 and
II years of age, and a valice containing
10000 francs. Il appears that the young
ON was the wife of an Arab, who had
thus packed her up with bis money as his
two greatest val,Ehles, but in his terror had
abandoned both. The soldier PLACED his
living prize on one OF his ammunition
wagons, and divided. his money with his
comrades.
