Horrible Assassination I'm France.

ADDITIONAL PARTIcULARs.--For some time
past rurnors were in circulation respecting the
conduct Of the Countess de Neuily, who was
represented as keeping up criminal relations
with Captain de Laporte, her husbands aid-de-
camp, and frequently repairing to the private
rooms of that officer. These runiors at first
met with general disbelief, particularly as
they had commenced q little after the death of
the only child of the countess, q charming
young woman, whose loss had plunged the
countess and the general into the deepest affiic,
ton. s@as
However, the captain and the countess acted
with 80 little reserve that their intrigue was
soon the public talk Of the town, SO that some
Of the general friends determined to put q stop
to it by mentioning The matter to the gene
raj. Accordingly, on Sunday morning, just as
the general was going out shooting, . secret
intimation reached him to the effect that the
Countess de Neuilly had Just before left the
hotel, and that she was at that moment to be
found at the lodging of Captain de Laporte,
on the FIRST floor Of q house in the Rue Nicaise
The general proceeded at once to the house
mentioned, and knocked loudly at the door Of
Captain de Laporte's rooms. He heard inside
the words, it is hel it is hei We are lostW
pronounced by his wife in an accent Of the
greatest alarm. "OpenI open at once" cried
the general, Cor / win burst open the doorF'
AT the same moment Captain de Laporte APP
lpeared on the threshold with pistol in each
hand, and, barring the generals passage
threatened to fire at him if he attempted to
advance q single step. n
"A rapid and terrible scene Of alteration fol-
lowed, and then both pistols were fred nearly
at the same moment. The general received
both balls in the centre Of the breast and fell
heavily, rolling from the top Of the staircase to
the outside door, bathed in his blood. The re-
port Of the pistols attracted some persons to
the spot, and they found the unfortunate count
at his last gasp. 8 The cowardl the wretch
he has assassinated mer he exclaimed, and
then expired. $3.50
