PARIS, November 17th.-The New York
World correspondent cables thus:
A great sensation has been created in the
American colony here by most disgrace
| full attack on Miss Gwendolin Caldwell
which appeared yesterday in the Echo de
| Paris, paper which, although of large
| circulation, is of the lowest possible NOR al
tone and standing. The article fills two
columns, and its insertion has evidently
been paid for by friends of the Murat fam
| lily. IL is headed 'Autour dun Marriage
and is signed Violette."
The following is an extract from the
| least offensive portion of the article, and
serves to show its general tenor:
Now, the brutal fact which compelled
the Prince to bow himself for the last time
| out of the presence of faded charmer who
| had been brought to him from distant
lands by the agency of a matchmaker, was
| her pretension to deduct from the sum
allotted to him for his name not less than
| four-f1fths for payment of an enormous
rent, the burden of which, now that the
marriage is broken off. falls upon his hands
as does all the magnificent presents which
| he had to buy for the bride.
$50 the dupe is really not the one that
| was at first thought to be the dupe. The
/ dupes indeed are the majority of oul
young Frenchmen who sell their coronets
for foreign gold.
"These foreign heiresses are almost al.
| ways adventuresses who have been booted
| from their own countries and seek to shell
| ter themselves in dark and dirty agencies
which procure for them entree into Partisan
society.
"In this particular case the matrimony
campaign WIS carried out with the greatest
skill, and most tempting promises were
| held out. Millions were like snow in
April, and melted away under the first
ray of sunlight. If there was any fortune
| splendid crown that this adventures had
sported from the outset especially when il
| is remembered that the woman was nearly
40 years of age, and devoid Of personal at
fractions of any sort"
The writer of the articles follows up this
TRADE by scandalous charges against Bishop
| Spalding of Peoria, and asserting that he
| had used his clerical title to stave off cred
itors of the Caldwell family.
After portraying Miss Caldwell as strug-
Cling with great financial difficulties and
as being harassed by creditors, the article
| concludes with the statement that if the
Prince had married Miss Caldwell he
would have been bankrupt in honor, as
well as in fortune.
This vile attack has caused the greatest
indignation among Americans here. The
male relatives of the young lady have writ
ten to Prince Murat to draw his attention
to this attack and to ask him whether, as q
former fiance of the lady, he proposes to
take steps to punish the author of the
abominable libel.
Should the Prince refuse to do so he
will be held responsible for it, and will re-
ceive the punishment which the writer de-
serves
