SINGUL A R A SSA SSINA TION.—FrOM a French Popes A young woman, eighteen or nineteen }ears of age a set vent at the Sanitary Establishment of Baths, at Dresden, who was about to he mar ied to a young man employed in the same Establishment, went to Ncustadt, to visit one of her acquaintances, a female, named Ntrohon. The latter received her in a friendly manner, they had sonic coffee, and afterwards some rum; the young woman from Dresden soon afterwards feeling indi,posed, Strohm invited her to repose en her bed. No sooner was the young woman asleep, than the other took a hatchet and struck her four blows on the head, she then completed the later": of death by stabbing the unfortunate victim several times on the body. The murder being accomplished, the criminal removed the corese from the bed, laid it on a palliasse, and covered it with a mattress ; she then went tranquilly to work in her chamber. About nine o'clock in the evening she went to the Baths. stated that the servant would return no more, related all the details of the assassination which she had committed, and placed herself at the disposal of the Director of the Establishment. She was arrested, and the facts abovementioned were verified. It does not appear that she was actuated by either jealousy, hatred, or any project of robbery, to commit this dreadful crime, nor was there any exaltation of mind, but, according to her own decimations, she had ex. perienced since the execution of Kaltoscn (a notorie oils assassin who was beheaded some days since), an irresistible desire to kill some one, in order that, like Kaltosen, she might die in a solemn manner; and, with much ceremony she adds, that she would have killed any other per_on whom she could have easily got into her ()ewer. Strohon is unman ied : the is about thirty years of age; ..he had not at all a bad character, nor was she reproached with any vice; she rcgtrl.u'ly freqnented Chiech. Tee young woman murdered is said to have been pregnant. Tee young man to whom she wasabouttobrieritt rn..ecrrnitedaiis in ,urh a state a hre n y , that .ti r?L raffia c• tained lei he lite.  bassador, by which they were accompanied, wete to require an answer from the Divan in eight days, and Baron Strogonuff seems to have adopted the determination strictly to adhere to them. On the 26th July, which was the last day allowed for the answer of the Turkish Divan, he sent for their reply. He was informed, verbally, that the Porte had determined on compliance with all his prop;' :tions; but that, on account of the length of the Russian Note, the length of time that would be consumed in its translation from the French into the Turkish Ltnguage, and the reply of the Divan from the Turkish language into the French, they would require fortyeight hours' delay before they could transmit their answer to Baron Stro,,onoff in the official foim. It appears, however, that the peremptory manner of the Russian Ambassador accelerated the movements of the Divan. By the evening of the 26th they had completed their reply in the official form, and sent a message to Baron Strogonciff that it was ready for his acceptance, thus complying with the letter of the Russian Note, even to the peliod.allowed them for acquiescence or refusal. No reply to this communication was condescended by the Russian Ambassador. On the following :naming two dragomans (interpreters) attached to the Russian Ealbassy, appeared at the Divan, and demanded passports for Baron Strogonoff and his suite to quit Constantinople. Instead of compliance mitt; that demand, the official reply and submission of the Porte to the pro. positions of Russia were then tendered. Acceptance was refused by the Ambas,,adory who declared that he could not accept a " tardy answer," and the demand for passports was repeated. They were at length granted for his suite and for his vessel, but the insertion of Baron Strogonoff's name in any passport was refused, it being understood, however, that no opposition would be made to his &pal turc. On the other hand, they would not expressly consent to it. Baron Strogonoff decltued rei-eatedly to the (Ater Ambassadors, who of course watched anxiously all his pi oceedings, that whether he obtained passports or not he wits determined to depart. The motives assigned her. for his extraordinary conduct, among the diplomatic clicks, arc, that knowing of his recall at the time, he was solely bent on making his retreat, so as to save his credit, and to preserve the secret of his disgraLe.
