PARISIAN SCANDAL.—The Paris Correspondent e the Express, writing on Sunday night, cays: —" A highly dramatic affair in the Rue Penthievre, which has been alluded to more than once in some of the Paris journals, turns out to be something more than a canard. The Polish Count who offered a certain lady 20.000 francs to admoister poisoned bonbons to a gentleman who would he pointed out to her at the masked ball at the Opera is actually lying in Massa pri-on charged with the crime. alialviend the medief student, accused tit haviug prepared th‘e treat& us swee'meats, has, from excess of precautiöt.. make access to each other pending the "instruction" impossible, been lodged in St, Pelagic. This student says he is as innocent as Millie. Bertha, the lady who revealed the diabolical design to the police. He alleges that seeing his friend in a state of abnormal excitement, and, bent upon his project, he pretended to come into it. and furnished him with bonhems, which he supposed to contain deadly poison, but which in reality were ins-mous. Dr. tardietes analysis must have tested that assertion by this time. I should , not at all wonder if it should turn out to be true, , and that the Polish count is simply a monomaniac. He belongs to the gilded youth ' of Paris, is hand. some, a good dancer, an accomplished equestrian, and possesses a good fortune. Ii appears that love and not money, RS at first stated, was the incentive to the projected murder. A duchess, notorious for her eccentricity, and connected closely with one of the most illustrious farniiies which sprang up under Bonaparte, having fallen in with him a couple of years ago, set her cap at, and made a'conquest of him. A Frenchman is nearly always satisfied in such a case with being the 'arra de /a nikvson.' But the enamoured count wanted the church to sanction the situation,' and to achieve that object did not shrink from removing the inconvenicut hu,band by assassination. There is no suggestion that the duchess herself was privy to the design. The statement that the 20,0004. were actually paid down to Milk. 13_-rtha. and by her handed over to the police, is contradicted. Since writing the above I hear it stated that the In.use of the duchess is closely watched by the volice, although she has not Irv) arrested."
