home FOUND 0er family In great ulstress In COnse-
quence of her brother, the sole support OF his pa
rents having been compelled to become soldier.
The young girl having heard, when at school, great
deal said of the kindness Of the Empress determined
to write to her Majesty, explaining the situation In
which she and her parents were left in consequence
of the absence of her brother. This etterthe I'M
assisted composition OF the young girl-was, with
the address T" n Madame FImperatr'ce, Paris
confded to the post. The young girl said not word
OF what she had done to any one. She regarded it
as secret between herself and her Majesty; and
she not surprised although every one else In
the village was amazed) to hear from the postmanS
that he had a letter sealed with the imperial arms
addressed to the Young maiden. This letter was
written by her Maestys ,retary, and assured the
little peasant girl that the wrong done to her family
should be speedily repaired. The letter was followed
in few days by the return of the girls brother tn
his native village.
The young soldier and his sister are about to erect
an altar of turf and to decorate It with flowers, and
at that altar BOTH accompanied by the maidens and
young men of their village will offer up their prayers
for the health, long life and happiness Of the En-
press as she passes on her way from st. Briene TO
Oman.
The only place in Brittany in which the English
are collected In considerable numbers are Oman and
Saint Malo, with its great suburb Saint Servan The
Vice Consul of England at Saint Malo has sum
mOned meeting to be held this day, at which WAL
be prepared an address to the Emperor upon ltii
arrival at Saint Mao.
The English of Oman and its neighborhood had a
meeting at the mayoraty on Saturday IL was at
first intended to have prepared grand decoration,
in which the flags Of England and France should be
combined together aud underneath a motto with
the words England and France united" Between
the first ventilation of this pacific and conciliaory
idea and the day OF meeting appeared an article in
the Times showing that the Emperor had paid
very bad compliment to Queen Victoria in inviting
her to Cherbourg which had been originally de-
signed by Louis XIV, and continued by Napoleon L.,
for the purpose of invading England, and now
that it was completed by Napoleon III.
could never be used Tor any grand purpose except
fha at.id an,b hat n
London. II is amazing the effect which this single
article written with the usual talent of the Times,
had on the intended meeting here. The idea OF the
grand decoration " was at once abandoned; and one
gentleman more remarkable for his nationality than
his piety declared he would see the French very
we'll - before he would ever consent to unite his
flag with theirs The decoration has been
changed for an address, which will most probably
be- presented by very worthy gentlemin-Sir
Robert Menzes, Bart--on behalf of bis English COM
patriots in this city and neighborhood.
The Emperor and the Queen may be on very
friendly terms personally but such IS not the
with the Bretons and the English. The local feeling
here is typided by the monument OF st. Cast, the
first stone of which laid with all due solemnity
on last Saturday. with the following memorandum
carefully deposited beneath it,
"On the nth day of July, in the year 1853, was
placed the first stone Of this column, CONNIE morative
OF the hundIeth anniversary of the battle OF ST. Cast,
gained by the French troops and Breton volunteers
over the English on The llth September, 1858"
