houses in the .fashionable and eentral neigh

. distant pntskirt, giving up
their apartments to strangers or foreigners,
in
.consideration of receiving some thousand
francs; while they themselves nestled down,
during the great influx, in some humble lo

ting, there was no distinction ofnation made ;
the terms were the ',same:for one and A—
lbr the native. : compatriot, as well as the,MiL
ord Anglais . --4or the German baron, as Well
as the' Russian bo,yard,- the Polish count, the
dollar-laden American—for everybody, in.
short, who could pay ; the was the one con

Madame del—, a .t dung and 'hand
some widow of five-and-twenty, who, on the
'first of April in that memorable year, had
thrown off her weeds,. resigned hersell,tunong
the rest, to . the reigning epideMie. One
morning she rang for the lodge-keeper of the
houNe in which she resided in the Chaussee
d'Antin, and ordered him to. nail up at the
porte-cochere.the universal bill,
"Bless my soul l What running up . and
down , l shah have of it !" eNclaii i ied, in petto

at the circumstance; for he, also, hoped to

Alas! alas !" groaned the portelrettere

and promised,in a tone, of melancholy de

term. • .
,
• On the 2d of Aug* -foPoising, Madame
der - Y— returned to Paris,and drove to tier
residence, believing that her apartment,which
had been let by the. concierge, 'was vacated
and ready - for her. . - • ,
"Madame," said 'Andre, 4 . the' gentlernan.

"What gentleinan, - Andre ?" • . •
' "The lodger, madame, Monsieur de . R--,

" Go mid inform him, Andre,. that I have re

To - this the - widow replied, somewhat sur

that she wanted her apartment and must'
have it. But greater still was her surprise
when she heard the 'provincial declare nis de

make him understand the impropriety , ofhis
conduct ; but all to no avail, for the tenant
pleaded his cause with grace. eloquence and
wit. The debate became warmer and warm-,
er, the gentleman losing, and the lady gam-•
lug no ground:while Andre slipped away to
his lodge; informing his better-half that the
storm was gathering above. • At last,, after
much.speeelifying 'on both sides, the gentle
man, breaking a, pause of apparently deep
riflection t spoke again :
‘.‘Vell., madame," said he,," there remains
but one Way to ,arrafige our little 'spate, so
as to enable - you to resume pos ession of
your delightful residence without ustlng, ine

Perfection - of POlce MwithwV-
In the last century, n merchant of highle
spectibillty in Bordeaux had occasion to visit
the metr9polis oacommerciat business, car
rying - with , him Is" and money to.a. very
large amount. On his• (arrival at' the gates
of Paris; a genteel looking man opined the ,

w
ser ihe description I hold in my hut& - Tim`
will' permit me. to hale thebonor of conduct
ing matt to the minister-of police, Algonsieur
de Sartinc."
Thegentleroan, astonished and atarmed at
this interruption. and stilt morose at hearing
the/name of the 'lieutenant of the' policermen ,
tioned, demanded to ;mow what Monsietir de
Stikine wanted With hint ; adding, at the same
time, that he never committed, any offence
against the laws; and that he could have no
right to interrupt or detain him. ••
The messenger declared himself - per&ctly
ignorant of_ the cause of his detention; Opt
ing at the same time, that when he had etm
ducted him to AL de Sartine, he
,should have
executed his. orders, which'were merely-Min
isterial. . - - • -• •
After some} further explimations, , the gen
tleman permitted the officer to conduet--him
accordingly. M. de. Sartine received him
with great politeness; and, after 'requesting
him to be seated; to his great astonishmerit,
he described his portmanteau, and told him
the exact sum' in bills and specie which.he
lisad brought with him to Paris, and where he
MILS to lodge, his usual time of goiag to hed,
and a number , of circumstances,: which the
gentleman had conceived could only be knoWii
to himkill
M. de Sartine having thus excitedattention,
put this extraordinary question to him—
" Sir, are you a man
. of courage •
,The gentleman, -- still - more astonished at the
singularitY of such- interrogatory ; demanded
tire reason why he - put such a 'strange 'ques
tion, adding, at the same time that no man
ever doubted.hisoprage:
M. de Sartifte replied—
"Sir, you nrei? be:robbed and i inirdet ed .

out, I will procure a person Who Otall person
ate you and go toned in your ste:ad.7 •
After some further eiplanation,.which con
vinced the gentlemen that M. de §artine's
intelligence was accurate ir. every particular,
he refused to be personated,' and formed an
immediate resolution' literally. to folloW-Abe
directions he had .received":- . -ne accordingly
went to bed' at -his usual hour; which was II
o'clock. - ' '
At half past twelve (the time Mentioned. by:
M. de Saltine) the door of the - befichamber
was opened, and three men entered with a
dark lantern, daggers-iind pistols. The gen.
tleMan r who of course was-, wake, perceived
one of them to be his own seriant. 'They ri=
fled his portmanteau , undisturbed, acid settled
the . plan of putting liim to death.- The gen
tleman hearing nit this, and not knowingby
what means he was to. be rescued, it maybe
supposed war under great pertur
bation of mind. during such an awful interval
of- su‘pense ; when, at the moment the villains
were preparing to commit the horrid deed,
four police officers,. aging under de Sar
tine's orders, who wetle concealed under the
bed and in the closets, - rushed out and seized
the offenders with the property in their pos
session, and in, the act of preparing to commit
the murder. .
' The. e,onsegtienee was, that the perpetration,
of the atrnciona deed was preyented; and suf
ficient evidence obtained., to convict the of
fenders. M. de Sartine's intelligence enabled
him to prevent this horrid offence of robbery
and murder=-which,.but for the accuracy of
the system, would probably have been carried
into execution.- • - 4
Another anecdote-relates to, the Austrian
Emperor, Joseph the Second. That men=
arch having, in the year 1787, fiirmri and
promulgated a new code of laws relative to
criminal and eiVil offences, and'having also;
establkhed What
.he concetied to be. the best
system 'of 'police in Europe, he could scarcely
ever forgive the French nation, inconsequence
of the accuracy and intelligence of M. de Sur..
