FRANcE.--The Paris Droit mentions the
discovery of a murderous association in the
French capital, a sort of European Thugs.
One Tappaz had been arrested for a street
ROBBERY, and he made the following confession
to the chief Of the police:
:" In 1896 was enrolled among a band of
assassins, by a man named poldevacfe.
When showed any hesitation to commit vi
olence, my companions kicked and beat me
to give me courage, as they said. One ev-
enlng that was watching near the canal of
st. Martin, in company with two of the band,
RampaiIleaux, having judged BY his dress
that be had money, seized him by the throat
and threw him TO the ground. Poildevache
then ran toward and seized the leg Of the
victim, whilst |, by order of the others,
searched his pockets. As the victim was
making great exertions to escape. RampaiIl-
eanx drew his knife saying, wait and will
give you the police seal, and be stabbed him
several times, He then took the dead body
on his shoulders, whilst Bernard held it by the
legs, and they then threw it into the canal.
The murder having been committed we went
to sud, when RampilIeaux used his bloody
knife to cut his bread, which made me sick
and / was unable to eat"
Rampailleaux and Rernard were speedily
arrested; they are about twenty seven years
of age. Plednol, another of the gang has
since been seized, he is twenty nine years
old, and has passed ten year $ at the galieys.

Plekens, $. c., for the murder Of her hus-

verdict of guilty. He was shot whilst lying
in bed at night and it was supposed the gun,

ARREST OF LEE-Through the exertions
of Captain Winters, high constable of the Cd
municipality, the notorious Reuben Butler
Lee, against whom an affidavit had been filled
before Recorder Genois, charging him with
the murder of Eliza Brown, whose body was
found buried in a lot in the back part ofthe
city a few days since, was arrested on Satur-
day morning, about eight mile above Red
Church. 1t appears that Lee had left the
city the day after the murder was committed,
and proceeded as far as Bayou Sara on board
the steamer Mount Vernon, when he again
took passage for New Orleans on a raft. Capt.
Winters hearing of his whereabouts, went up
to Red Church on Wednesday last, accompa-
MED by officer Kelly, whom he stationed there
to await Lees coming. On Saturday morn
ing, Mr.. Kelly, accompanied by three other
persons, procured a skif and boarded tie raft
about eight miles above the Red Church, and
succeeded in securing Lee, (who was armed
with a riffe,) after a desperate encounter.
Lee was brought to the city on Saturday, and
lodged in the First Municipality Prison. He

there is any actual advance since The last
