might have reason To repent yet will confess that
the extreme necessity in which the death of the late

would be the Marquis JehanL oys-for reasons which

on their way from Piedmont to the court; he went
out from Paris as far as Corbeil with about eighty
horse on the evening when the travellers arrived at
i ETsonne. He sent a messenger directly to Madame
Phillipes, Informing her Of his movements, and got
back an answer not to show himself until the next

dinner was over, and then rode up with his troop.
There were great reverence and salutations and all
these men began to talk as well about the good cheer
they had enjoyed by the road about the adventures
that necessarily happen in SO long journey. At q
fitting opportunity, however, the lady slipped away;
and secretly calling the Seur Pessia au Chat Bre

they reached the Porte Saint Marceau to dsentangle
her train from that Of her snite, and move along the

Soon afterwards every one mounted ladies and ali !;
and this gorgeous brilliant train arrived in good time
at Paris Attic gate Plessisau Chat carried out his
instructions and dexteroasly separated the lady's
people from the Others. The Marquis, surprised,
called out they nistook the way. But now, Madame
Philppes pulling up, said 9ts

Notre Dame and mine is in the Hotel Saint Denys,
near the Augpstines My honor commands me not
70 lodge in your house, but to separate myself from

h. The Marquis was so astonished at this sudden
change, that along time he could not utter sin;
gle word. His signs and sobs, however, showed his
anguish and his sadness At last his presence of mind
returned, and looking at the lady in anything but
loving manner, he said Madam, your adieu gave
my heart pang but your last words and the kiss
with which you have h0nored me, have somewhat re-
ysved me, though this sudden change and prompt
resolution seem strange Tomorrow, as you say we

Meanwhile, the Marshal Dannebund, who had sue.
ceeded Marshal Monte-Jan in his governorship, had
formed the project of succeeding also to his widow
and property. He therefore had written to the
dauphine to plead his cause and to represent that BY
putting their revenues together they might make III
hundred thousand livres year, very rare thing
lin France for any one but q prince. The dauphnt
came with this proposal and strongly spoke in favo
