Mary. In consequence OF the aid afforded by
this decipher, siguor Luigi Pasiui, of the
Library OF the Frari, has been enabled to oom-
pile the long gsought-for key of the ci pher des.
patches referred to in my REPORT. Mr.. Raw
don Brown has communicated to me a spsci
men OF Pasinps labors, and hope to be ia
condition within few days to submit to such
OF your readers as feel interested in these
matters, Pasini's decipher Of these important
documents. l think English readers have
reason to be grateful to Signor Pasni for his
sklli, ingenuity, and patience in accomplish
ing this difficult task.
Your readers may possibly be aware that
German scholar, of the name of Friedman,
processes to have made q similar discovery,
but he has not yet communicated to the pub
lic the results Of his labors or the method by
which he arrived at them so fully as oould be
desired. 1t is due, however, to Mr.. Fried
mann, TO say that an article appeared in Mac
naittdn's Magazine about three months ago, in
which he promises to publish his own de-
oiphers Of the Michel dispatches. Should il
be shown that Mr.. Friedmann has succeeded
in deciphering the whole of these documents
without the help thus happily afforded to Sig
nor Pssini, he will deserve the greatest praise
for his perseverance and ingenuity; aud it will
be curious to compare the results Of two such
able deoipherers, working by separate and in
dependent methods"
The Paris correspondent OF the Daily
Telegraph gives the following oomical account
OF succession of theatrical mishaps:--
ION Friday evening the Emperor and En-
press went to the opera to hear the Huguenots.
The house was one blaze of diamonds and
satins, the boxes being occupied by the fine
Heur OF Parisian society-the Duchess of Istria,
the Marquise de Cadore, M. Schneider, Madame
Troplong, etc. In one of the stage boxes sat
the young Due de Huescar, son of the Due
d'Albe and nephew of the Empress. A
strange night 1t was. The Emperor had ex-
pressed wish to hear Madame Tass and
Faure, but, being confined by influenza, they
were unable to obey the imperial command:
so Mad'lle Julia Hisson had to perform the
part of Valentine and Caron that OF
'Nevers,' as Murel who had taken Faure's
place for the last two nights, was suddenly
laid up. Caron, in donning the doublet OF
'Nevers, left his own character that of the
'Seigneur de Thor6,' to be performed as it
best might by the leader of the chorus.
''The Comedy of Errors was not yet COM
plete. During the representation draft from
Caron sneeziDg and coughing. This fresh
mishap put the mansger, M. Perrin, at his
wits end. What was to be doneH First oi
all, the chief dresser was ordered to prepare
another set of costumes, and urgent messages
were despatched to different quarters. The
tenor MOrore, and Csstlemary, the baritone,
kindly responded to the appeal, and soon ap-
peared equipped as 'Raoul' and 'Nevers.
The former had his trouble for nothing, fol
Colin managed somehow to come forward and
get through his part without sneezing; but
Caron, who was quite hors de combat, drove of
home as quickly as he could"
