French CRshier-Puhlio Reception to
General BaERy-EmRncipatiOn Day.

MONTREAL, August 2.-Lamlrande, the cashier
of the Bank of France at Poltiers, who escaped
from New York by the alleged drugging of the
United States Deputy Marshal was apprehended
Yesterday at La Prairie, about ten miles from
this city, on the opposite shore OF the st. Law
renee. After his escape, Melin, French detec
tive, came to Montreal, believing that the fugi.
tive would come TO Canada.
Melin put himself in communication with
Chiet OF Police Renton, who detailed two of his
most Intelligent detectives, Bouchard and Cutlin,
to work the case up. A day or two ago vague
rumor reached them that Lamirande was lurking
about the vicinity OF Montreal. On being taken
into custody the prisoner denied his identity,
but was recognized by the clerk of the lawyer
who had been employed for the prosecution in
New York.
His examination before magistrate has Just
closed, and he has been remanded to the all.
He is claimed from the State under the French
extradition treaty. and the question is likely to
arise whether the French authorities will claim
him directly from the Canadian Government.

Approaching Marriage OF the Princess

The approaching marriage OF the Princess
DaRmar to the heir apparent OF all the Russias is
much talked OF in Paris salons. An eyewitness
relates the following details OF the parting scene
between her and the late CesareWitCh. The
young Princess had been summoned at his
express wish, and arrived, accompanied by the
Queen, her mother, and the Prince Royal of
Denmark. She was dressed in white, and as
fshe arrived at the station excited the deepest
sympathy from the immense crowd who awaited
1 her arrival, anxious to catch glimpse of her
features; but this was impossible, as she hur-
ried away rapidly to the Villa Herber she was
at once led TO the dying Cesarewitch, aud she
kLelt by his side, sobbing bitterly. He had
been senseless; but in the white kneeling
figure he suddenly reco'lected his .fdncee, drew
her towards HIM, and, murmurine some words,
inaudibe save to her. kissed her forehead
Then, as one might read of in novel, he took
the Princess hand, and, without again speaking,
placed it in that of his brother Alexander, which
acton was at once interpreted by the family as
slgnifying bis wish that his brother should

deprive her of. From that moment Princess
Daemar did not quit the death chamber till the

at Nice lasted but torty-elght hours. The present
Cesarewitch is in character complete contrast
to his charming and depOred brother. Impe-
rious and domneerng, he is by no means
popular, and has inherited not a little OF the

The plan of the so-called Reconstruction
Committee to be presented to Congress today,
will be;found elsewhere in our columns The
Baltimore Sun, speaking Of it,says, if it is not
designed to prevent reconstruction, it is difficult
to see what other purpose it could possibly
have. It can hardly be supposed that the
committee Or the majority in Congress would
expect this iliberal scheme to be acceptable to
the people, or that the requisite number OF
States would ratify the proposed constitutional
amendment
The Baltimore Gazette says - the rad
ical faction is bent upon governing this country
after it's own absolute fashion, the measures
agreed upon by the Reconstruction Committee
are we'll adapted to secure the end in view
But we cannot understand how the Southern
States can be asked or expected to assent to
any such terms as the price Of their readmission
to their former places in the Federal Union y
The National Intelligencer denounces the
scheme, and asserts that it combines the worst
forms Of a prosecuting aud proscriptive IT,
ranny."
If these papers thus express themselves, what
sort of welcome will the scheme meet with in
