scandal which has occasioned considerable humor-

davlts have been offered by the defendant proposes
to counter by the Introduction OF documents alleged
have been for some months in the possession OF
NJ. Jules Fayre relating to the personal history and
European anteceients OF Henri Arnoux de REVERE.
