Petersturyh. Mr.. Sala, the principal writer for

it was presented by Mr.. Seymour, our Minis

and An order was issued to the Russian MIN
istsr at Naples, where the Count was living,

TO Warsaw, where the lady and her friends
were waiting, marched into the church By e
posse Of policemen, and was there compelled
20 stand up before the altar and be marria iadin
due form. His wife, then the Countess, turned
to him as soon as the ceremony was over,
made . formal bow, and bade him adieu for-
