I had intended translating for THE TRIBUNE
the letter of Col. Pscaca1e which was published
in the Journal des DeJats of last Saturday, and
made by that fact the incident of the week, but
see it translated already in yesterdays Times, and
YOU doubtless will avail yourself Of that The
letter is noble and full of manhood in every line
and ought to be laid before your readers in e1tenso

thought fit to be shot down by its various paternal
Governments.

stead under these circumstances, and the authori-
ties forbore to apply an av'rt'ssome"f' But 'ney

fault of the Debats. The Debats lie altogether the
best literary property in Paris, and its Proprietors

any step which could leopard its interests with the
