ayheeliug Re9ister.

WE have received the news OF Mar
hall RAzAIsE having effected his escape
from his prison on the Island OF salnte
Nsrouerite. Naturally the affair is
creating great excitement in France,
where 50 recently the old veteran was
tried for treason, degraded from his high
rank and stripped OF the honors he had
won on many battle field in the service
Of his country. We have always had a
suspicion that he was not fairly dealt with
and sympathized with him in his trials
and imprisonment; but if, as it is stated,
he violated his parole of honor in making
his escape, it will reflect very injuriously
upon his reputation henceforth. Reports
sav that his crime comes under the ex-
tradition treaty of France with other ma
,ions, and if so, it is more than likely he
will be sent back, though. it is hinted that
the French Government is rather glad
that he is of its hands.
