rious articles against NJ. Paschal Grous
set published in sJavenir De La Corse.'
We harded our cards to two servants at
the door, who ushered us into a small
parlor on the ground floor at our right
hand After few minutes we were
up stairs to first floor,
passed through a fencing-room, and a.
nally entered drawing room. A door
opened, and Mr. Pierre Bonaparte en-
tered. We advance toward him, and
the following words passed between us:
Sir, we came on behalf of NJ. Paschal
Groussett, to deliver a letter to you
You are not come then, on behalf Of nj.
Rochefort, and are not tools Of his?
Sir, we are here on other business, and
l beg you to look at this letter. and /
landed him the letter He approached
window to read it, He read it, and
after crushing it in his hands he re-
turned toward us. I have provoked NJ.
Rochefort.' said he, because he is the
standard-bearer of the rabble. AS for
NJ. Grousset, have no reply to make
to him. Are you representatives OF

left hand, and at the same time drew q
revolver, of six chambers, which be had
held concealed in his pocket, already
cooked, and fired upon Noir with the
muzzle of the pistol close to him. Noir
staggered, pressed both hands to his
breast, and sank down in the doorway
by which he had entered. The coward

fired. ther seized a small pistol which
had in my pocket, and while l was en-.
deayoring to free it from it's sheath, the
wretch rushed on me; but when he saw
that was armed, he retreated, stood
behind the door and aimed at me. 1t
was then that, comprehending the am
bush into which we had fallen, and re-
fiecting that if / fred there would not
be wanting those who would say that
we had been the agressors; I opened
door which was behind me and rushed

ond shot followed, and again passed
through my coat. In the street found
Noir, who had had strength enough o
descend the stairs, and who was dead.
These are facts, just as they transpired.
