She lodged at Nu. 27, White Lionstreet, Seven Dials, until Tuesday last, when he came to town, unt slept there with her.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.  way of Worm% 4 *Anti* etebrit.d.by went of the Boditi(orpeOstry titre in - • • llse . previous reports 'keit in public Jniiienalgi.akik he was abeady removed to Mentz, were, at all events, unfounded. But it is now generally asserted, that he is so fully recovered that he could make the journey to this his new destination. It is said that Sand had of late expressed great joy at his recovery, and his repentance at having attempted suicide, because he mast consider the deed he had committed as only half consummated unless it wet.% followed by his public execution on the scaffold. These and similar expressions stated to have been used by Sand have been compared with passages in the intercepted letters, which are in the possession of the police of &din, wherein it is said that it is absolutely necessary that Sand should perish on the scoffold : and hence arguments have been derived for new apprehensions in the existence of • secret plan. On the other hand, anonymous letters are said to have been received by several public authorities, threatening Its revenge the death of Sand. Notwithstanding every exertion that has been made, it has not been pos. sible to discover the authors of these incendiary writings. The confronting of two students of Jens wish Sand here at Manheim, took place because it bad been discovered that Sand received money from them to defray the expenses of his journey from Jena. This fact seemed to authorise a suspicion that several persons knew of Sand's plan, and were initiated in his secret. The affair was not, however, cleared up by confronting these students with him. Nobody has for some time past had access to Sand, and every thing relative to him is buried in profound secresy. In truth, if any one should assert that Sand is still at Manheim, nobody could possibly prove or affirm that he is not here, except the few persons who see him officially, and who observe a profound silence. M. Von Hohenhorst, who is appointed by the Grand Duke to 'prosecute the inquiry, intends to have all the papers relative to the process printed in due time. Here and in other places a print is sold representing Saud in his prison playing on the guitar, and singing with a cheerful countenance a poem on the liberty of Germany.
