INCIDENTS. OF THE TRAUpMASH EyEcU-
TloN IN PARIs.-A Paris correspondent of
the Boston Journal writes:
The maneuvres of the secret police
during this period of excitements are
curious. To illustrate how thoroughly
they mingle with the common people I will
relate an incident that occurred on the
night of the execution. A friend who had
obtained q card of admission into the
square where stood the guillotine attempted
to introduce FIVE others of us as journalists.
The mounted gendarme, to whom we ex-
hibited the card, agreed to take us through
the crowd; and at the risk Of our lives did
it, We had reached the square when q
sudden movement of the dense masses
threw myself and my companion outside
the lines, leaving our four. happier com
rades within. Meantime the attention of
the ragamufins had been attracted toward
US, and we were jostled rudely, sneered at,
and even pressed severely. We were just
losing patience when we saw mounted
gendarme at the edge of the crowd. We
knew he had been sent back to seek us.
In two minutes dilty-looking fellow in
blouse came up to US, gave us piercing
glance, singled us out, and whispered to US
Your friends want you, but it's no use.
This crowd would kill you if you tried to
push through. Believe me, am of the
police. You had better retire. | will tell
them where you are" He did it, protected
our retreat, and touched his hat as We left
him. In half on hour the same man had
brought our friends to US, and, with the
same curt obeisanee, was gone. The secret
spies are said to be in greater number than
ever, since the rumor that restoration OF
the Bourbons is likely to be attempted has
been set afoat. All the cafes are full of
runners for the Government.
The same writer says of the executioner |:
He is a queer character-as nearly all
the Paris executioners have been. Colossal
in stature, and powerful as anox, ne has
the feet Of woman, and hands Of an aris-
tocrat. He is white haired, quiet, reserved ;
loves music and gardening, and spends
most of his time, when not engaged in his
dreadful duty, in his little cottage home.
Traupmann is his nineteenth victim. His
real name is Hardeneick, but he lis called,
as the executioner has been from time i'm

manned on the ground until the soaffold was

TRANQUILITY. Always, at once after every
execution, he descends and washes his
hands before the people, and throws the
water upon his head and face. 1t is said
by the curious that he is generally I'LL for q
day or two after his horrible task, his
nerves being entirely disordered' Ihe

A STRANGE STORY CONCERNING Mr..
MAp1s0N.-In one of these conversations
he Governor Middleton told me that he
then had in his possession manuscript of
his father, which contained speech of Mr..
Madison, taken down in short hand, advo-
eating d treaty with Great Britain on the
condition that she would acknowledge the
independence of all the colonies north of
the Carolinas. The Carolinas and Georgia
were to remain British provinces. The re-
solution embodying this. proposition was in
troduced in the old Congress by Mr.. Madi-
son himself. Many years afterwards,
whilst Governor Middleton was q member
Of Congress, he mentioned the subject OF
this speech to Mr.. Madison, and expressed
his great surprise at it. Mr.. Madison &C.
knowledged having introduced the resolu.
tion and made the speech. He justified
himself on the ground that the Carolinas
and Georgia were at that time con-
qucred provinces, the country was
ovcrrun with British troops, and
the royal government restored. These
colonies were considered entirely lost after
Gatcss defeat at Camden, and all reason
able hope of recovering them was gone for
eyer. An address had been presented to
Lord CORVALLIS, signed by many of the
most prominent citizens of Charleston, con-
graduating him on his victory and the final
subjugation of the province. do not re-
member to have seen this remarkable fact
mentioned in the history of our country.
The address to Lord Cornwallis I had heard
of many years before, but not the speech
and resolution of Mr.. Madison. Congress
sat at that time with closed doors, and
their secret proceedings were not known tc

miniscences of Public Men '-lLX Cen.
