! "There lives in Paris a gentleman

ruary. 184S. That gentleman wrote
shortly after the Presidential elec-
tion--''This Bonaparte scion is a
traitor. Not a man looks at him
but feels the instinct ofsavoi,ling him
as treacherous man. He will
strike for the Consulate--for the
dictatorship; and God knows what
will follnw.' He struck. The coup
d'etat of December, 1851, tells ho,u
he struck. The same gentleman
wrote in the March Of the pres.

no common man. He thinks and
looks around him. He participates

gathers knowledge which in our
view, no other man at this moment in
or out of Paris could find means to
acquire. His previous predictions
| give us confidence in what he states.
In fact we know him, and know that
he would not detail as truth what he
did not know to be true, for he is
generally one Of the least spccula-
tive individuals VIC have ever met.

The following is the communica-
ton referred 10:
! In a secluded part Of the wood of
Bolougne, at a place called Ma
dria, whilcme the residence of Lam
artinc, is a house surrounded by
i trees, and the windows of which
are never opened, except sometimes
at dawn, as if to let in fresh air. This
: house. all day, and on many nights,
has the air OF being uninhahited; but
oitenti,nes at night there come about
suspicious looking characters, who
take up their posts in the thickets
and then about twelve or one up come
several carriages, with the blinds
close down, he porte cohare is open
ed ,nystcriously, they drive in and
the door closes behind them.
What is this place?
1t is the residence of Virginia

This, for many persons, indeed
nearly all, is no explanation. But
