fight ofthe Empress hugenie, there Is hiatus
between her departure from Paris and her
arrival in England. A correspondent OF the
London Times supplies the missing facts. The
fugitive lady was advised not to try the rail-
way trains. for fear of being recognized; and
she left Paris in market cart returning Into
Normandy, in which she spent three days and
two nights. She reached the sea at TrouVllie,
where one of her friends went on board Sir
John Burgoyne's yacht. inspected the vessel,
inquired its sailing qualities, and at last con-
fded to the owner, ION his honor as an Eng

nage as comb, toothbrush or change OF
linen, and made the voyage to Ryde, which
was very rough, the Sea washing over the
deck.
