The recent trial Of the Fenian raiders,

Father Mcmahon, and their sentence to
be hung. This has created intense excite
mcnt in Feuian circles. Immense meet
logs have been held in many Of our large
CITIES, and the Canadian Government
violently denounced. :..
Secretary Seward has taken 10 the
matter and addressed letter to the Brit
ish Minister at Washington, in which be
expresses the hope that Her Maj.s.y's
Government will take prompt measures
to investigate all the facts and presidents
bearing upon the trial and conviction Of
the Fenian prisoners, adding that, sound
policy comedies with the best impulses OF
benevolent nature in recon mendinp
tenderness, amnesty and forgiveness in
such cases. Great excitement prevails il
Canada. One report states that portions
OF the Canadians demand that no mercy
be shown the Fenians found guilty, while
other portions are petitioring to have the
sentence commuted to imprisonment

which are probably Eot generally known t."

These two E,onarchs a few years ago. 80
cordially united in the struggle to maintain
the integrity of the Ottoman Empire,
are both descendants of American ladies';
These ladies were born in the same neigh
borhood, on tn" Island of Martinique, one.
OF the West Indies. They wore of French or.
igin. AID companions and intimate friends in
childhood and youth. They were Josephine.
de Tascher and Miss $. The history Of
Josephine is generally known. She went to-
France, and was married to M de Beauhar.
mis-, by whom she had one son, Eugene, and a.
daughter, Hortense. Some time after the.
death Of Beauharnis Josephine was married to,
Napoleon Bonaparte and became Empress Of
France Her daughter, Hortense, was ma arried
to Louis Bonaparte, The King of Holland; and
the present Emperor of France is her son by
this marriage.
But now for the romance Of the affair."
Joscphine's bosom friend quilted the island Of
Martinique some time before she did. But
the vessel that was carrying her to France was
attacked and taken by Algerian Corsairs, and
the crew and passengers made prisoners, but
the corsair ship was in turn attacked and pill
laged by Tunis pirates, and Miss S. was car
rcd by them to Constantinople, and offered for
sale as slave. Her extraordinary beasty and
accomplishments found her Il purchaser in tho
sultan himself; she soon became chief lady
OF the Scraglio, and Sultana of Turkey. Mahm.
