DIR. Wiseman then Catholic Bishop OF London,
and solicited his assistance to Obtain from Mr.
WISE who was one of the Bishops flock, some
Arrangement. For that purpose be placed IN Dr.
Wiseman's hands The original OF the ABOVE docu

authorized to be given up ~ hr "yse Without
any condition DR.. WiSemsn undertaking 10 Dc
the intermediary to obtain from Mr. Wyse the
amount stated 10 be due in the other document.
Such at least was the statement Of the Able, who,
according TO the new English practice, was allowed
TO testify on the trial The Able had one inter
view with Mr.. Wyse, who thanked him for the
bills, but would hear nothing about his wife. The
Able soon after left for Paris, leaving the original
of Madame Wyse's document (Which, probably,
at this time he thought Of no great value) in DR..
Wsemsn's hands.
Several years after in 1854, he learned that the
Em-eror Napoleon III. was paying the debts of his
family connections, and meeting DIR. Wiseman,
then become Cardinal and returning from Rome,
q, Paris, he put him in mind of the document
which had been intrusted to bis care. The Cardi-
nal said that it was doubtless among Lis papers at
London. and on his return there, which would be
in few DAYS, he would send il to him. Getting
no answer for a month, the Able wrote to the
Cardinal enclosing copy of the document, to which
letter he received the following reply:
"LoNpos, June 5, 1854.
"SIR: | remember perfectly that, upon the occa-
sion Of your first visit 10 London, you showed me some
papers relative to the family Wyse in which you de-
sired 10 make efforts 10 procure domestic reconcia-

in which Madame Bonapsrto Wysc declared herself
your debtor for very considerable sum- tue amount
of which do not remember and dare not determine

Search is being made TO hnd It at this gentlemans,

me-. Madame Wyse will certainly be able to corob

q To the Able Roux"
This letter brought the Able again to London,
where, in the course of his Investigations, he was
shown register or memorandum by Mr. Wyse's
attorney to the effect that not only the bills of ex-
change for S,OOOf, but Madame Wyse's obligation,
had been given up to him. The Able then urged
the Cardinal to write to Mr.. Wyse to return it,
when the Cardinal suggested that it would be bot
ter OR him to write TO the Emperor, testifying to
the existence of the document which he promised
10 do. This course was also recommended by
Lucien Bonaparte, Madame Wyse's brother, who
agreed to present the letter if the Cardinal would
write it, Upon new application to the Cardinal,
be said that if the Able would draw up letter he
would sign it, The Able wrote such letter, which
the Cardinal said he would copy aud sign, and the
Able might call for it the next day. He called, but
was denied admittanee, and learned soon after that
his Emnence had gone to Yorkshire. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that he ascertained his ad-
dress, which was concealed from everybody In
reply to renewed applications he at length received
TIE following letter:
"FuEY YORKSHIRE, Aug. %, 1854
"SIR: Before my departure from London It was
by the advice of medical men that you were refused

After the Cardinals return to London the Able
renewed his applicatiOns-but neither the document,
nor letter to Mr.. Wyse to return it, nor the PROM
ised letter to the Emperor, could be got. The
Able, however. was appointed by the Cardinal to
an ecclesiastical position at Chelsea but the salary
