Discovery OF the Body OF Emma Moore.
The Rochester New York; papers of We'd
nesday morning are filed with the details Of
the discovery Of the body of Miss Emma Moore,
whose sudden disappearance, some time since,
caused so much excitement. 1t will be remem-
bered how town meetings were held, rewards
offered, ponds dragged, woods secured, and
houses searched in vain. But now, after the
event has almost dropped from the public mind,
the finding of the corps invests it with new
interest. The circumstances of the discovery
are described by the Rochester Democrat as
follows:
"Abous five o'clock on Monday afternoon,
the city was electrified by report that the
body of Emma Moore had been found. As
the report spread, crowds of people quickly
gathered, and in fifteen minutes, one or two
thousand were in and about the courthouse
into which the dead body of female had Just
been conveyed.
1t was very soon ascertained that the body
had been seen by the friends of Emma Moore,
who recognized it as her body. The clothes
were very rotten, but nearly perfect, and so far
as was observed, nothing indicated how she
had come to her sad fate. Il
"The body was found in the Goom which
passes between the old City Mills and the
the Phoenix Buildings, and exactly in the rear
Of the east end Of the latter. The water had
risen rapidly, and was again falling, but the
boiling motion of the foom brought the body
into view. There was quite hole in the ice,
and it is alleged that some boys, who were
amusing themselves on the foom, made the
discovery
"The Upper Race, from which this hoom is
supplied, is about the only place which was not
thoroughly searched last fall, Immediately after
the disappearance. Attention was almost ex.
cusively directed north of Maine street bridge,
because Miss Moore was last seen on Maine
street, and on account of the prevalent impress
sion that the screams heard on North street
proceeded from the missing woman. 1t now
turns out that the screams proceeded from some
other person-perhaps from some one who de-
signed thereby to mislead.
Miss Moore disappeared on the night of No
vember l4th. She has, therefore, been missing
four months and five days. Appearances indi.
cate that she has been all the time under water.
But the manner and means of her death are as
great mystery as ever.
1t appears from the testimony of the ply
sicians that the deceased was encieate, and had
been SO for six or seven months. This, together
with refusal to marry her on the part of who
ever betrayed her, (which may be supposed, J
will be considered as affording reason for
selfdestruction.
Mr.. Whitlocke, young man who was en-
gagged to be married to her, was examined be.
fore the coroner's inquest, at great length. He
testified to an intimate, but not criminal ac.
quaintance with her They had been engaged
TO be married for three years.
The jury, as we stated yesterday, rendered a
verdict that she came to her death by drown
ing, but whether she drowned herself volunta.
rily or otherwise, they could not. determine

What French Scholars Think of AmerIc;

What French Scholars Think OF America.
The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Commercial Adcertiser says:
"The French Academy, composed of forty
of the most distinguished men of France in
letters and sciences, were occupied at their sit.
ting on Saturday last, in discussion on NJ
yattemare's projects Of international ex.
changes, and the greatness Of the United
States in particular. NJ. Guizot was appoint.
ed orator of the day, and opening with hatter-
ing eulogy upon the efforts Of NJ. Vattemare,
and upon the great value Of his scheme to
both countries, and particularly to the Aca.
denny he went on TO give an enumeration OF
the immense number of public and society
Libraries in the United States, gave an aperqu
OF their common school system, which he ex-
tolled as being in advance Of all others, and
spoke of the passion with which Americans
were pursuing the collection Of historical re-
cords referring to the history of their country.
On this subject, he made the remark that Eu-
ropeans deceived themselves when they made
the charge that the Americans we're a people
entirely absorbed in the pursuit Of material
| progress; for he said that no nation who
bought and read so many books, who paid so
much attention to their normal schools, who
had labored so hard in the improvement of
government and civil laws, who had entered
with such passion into the collection Of his
torical records, should longer lie under this oft
repeated and false imputation. His remarks
met the decided appreciation Of the house.
NJ. Guizot was followed by NJ. Dupin, former
president Of the Senate, by M. Cousin, Minister
under the Republic, by NJ. Nodet, Michael
Cheyalier, and others, all in the same strain,
each eulogizing the United States and exhibit.
ing greater knowledge Of its institutions than
can be found in any other body Of men this
side Of the Atlantic. NJ. Cousin grew eloquent
over the school system Of the United States
and the efforts Of her lettered men, in estab.
fishing for the country reputation which so
clearly contradicts the remark often heard that
the American cares for nothing but the al
mighty dollar"
In the remarks Of all these gentlemen, there
we're concealed thrusts at the present govern
ment Of France which did not fail TO produce
their efect-remarks which, Of course, the pub.
lie will never see, since the proceedings are
not published. There were present also, Odil-
Ion, Barrot, Count Duchate and Count Remu-
sat, Ministers Of Louis PHILIPPE; and in all the
Academy, believe, there is not one friend Of
Louis Napoleon.
