change with America, the United States are also
sending to us several ladies' seeking fortune in our
fashionable land. Among the most conspicuous

the title of the Princess March. Her barouche is

humbug goes ahead
Since am on this subject, I cannot refrain from
telling you an anecdote in which American
gentleman was concerned, and the denoument of
which took place the other day before the tribunal
Of Police Correctionele. There is in Paris GER
tain Mademoiselle Nugeac, who, under the govern
ment Of nj. Guizot, was attached TO the Police
Secret. Her parlors are frequented by the elite of
all the foreigners, and thus she is often able to
render many services to the Prefecture of Police.
This lady, II appears was met during the first days
OF this month by an American citizen Of New York,
Mr.. P*s**n, whe struck by her charms, went TO
visit her, under the false Rame of John Smith, aud
payed her bonaes grdces by check on Rothschild,
amounting 10 5000 francs. The check was pre-
sented, but the banker declined paying it, for he
had no money for Mr.. John Smith, who
known to him. Mile. Nugeac retired, but she
swore she would have revenge Consequently she
made many efforts TO meet Mr.. P*fffn, and having
succeeded, she had him arrested The unfortunate
young man denied having ever known Mademoi-
selle NUgeac but she had it proved by her coach
man and maid that Mr.. p. had often visited her
house, and that he had remained, once, from ten
o'clock in the evening till twelve the next morning
The tribunal condemned Mr.. p. to pay the bill, sod
the poor fellow retired, much confused AT the ver-

Let me leave the tribunal OF Themis, and take
you TO the studio of an American painter, which
visited the other morning. MIR. Healey, from 6os-
ton, who lives in Paris Rue de fArcade So is bysy
engaged in painting an immense canvas, upon Inch

are all portraits, and you may discover among all

Belts, and many other influential statesmen OF your
country. This large painting, about twenty feet
long and fourteen feet high, vii be, when inI shed,
very remarkable page OF the history OF your coun-
Try, and no doubt Mr.. Heaey will be rewarded
with much eulogy by his Athenian countrymen.-
