We have another incident TO relate,
which was told us as a fact by French
lady who knew the person concerned.
Some friends Of hers residing in the PROV

consequently desirable match. Her
hand was eagerly sougl! by many suitors,
and was at last yielded by her parents to

L wrote 10 her friends and relatives
to inform them Of the approaching hap
py event. Among these, was a lady re-
siding at MarseIles, TO whom she des.
cribed with all a Fronchwonan's Vi
yacity, the person, manners etc, Of the
bridegroom elect. Answers of Congrat-
ulation and good wishes poured in Of
course and Madame T., who had
secret persuasion that she was IN I'M
| known and uohonored Madame De
Scyigne, became so pleased "j;h her in
creased correspondence, hal she made
point Of never leaving tha house til after
the delivery Of the pest. The AiarseilIcs
correspond nt was the only one Of the
number with whom sb" had commune
ceted who had not replied f. her letter.
| This answer was, therefore, desired with
great eagernes5; and Madame l. re-
membercd attorward, though at The time
it awoke no suspicion in her mind, that
the lover always appeared uneasy when
she expressed her anxiety on the subject,
or her desire TO hear from her friend
The wcdding-day arrived; and the
bridegroom, maniiesiing a most fattcr-
inc impatience Cor the performances of

brought letter from Marscilcs. The

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,

PUBLISHED IN kfcHMoND, VIRGINIA,
AT the iop price Of ONE DOLL~fR per anns'n,

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily

light literature and poetry.
HucH r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make 1t equal to any weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment it is Southern--its conductors
are Virgnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from aseociation, from in
teres,, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights 10 = defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremitting, and 40 far an their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
30 is 10 presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instillsd into them from their
