ADVENTURE NEAR GRANVILLE:
BY AN ENGLISR GEN4EMAN.
I landed at Granville, with the intention of making
France my place of abcide for many•years. At first,
therefore, I. set up my rest at an inn, that I might
have. leisure to look about me, and find a permanent
dwelling suited to my narrow Income, and as far as
might be consistently with that essential condition,
agreeable to my taste and habits. Fortunately be
fore I had been iii the town three'days. I heard of
a house to be sold, that, from the description, I
thought would suit me. It was small, cheap, not
more than two English miles from Granville, and
with no other fault, according to my informant, than
its extreme loneliness. This fault, however, was to
me rather a recommendation. I lost no time in seek
ing out the proprietor, who proved to be'ostensibly a
tailor, though as I learnt by the way, be was shrewd
ly suspected of carrying on a more lucrative trade
with our Guernsey and Jersey smugglers. '
I had no reason to complain of him when we came
to talk of business. His demands were extremely
reasonable, and delivered in few words, with the plain
frank manner of one who knolvs he is offering a
bargain, and does not think it `worth hie while to
tempt a purchaser by specious language. We soon,
therefore, settled preliminaries. HI liked the house
upon seeing it, I was to purchase it for my life only,
a mode of }
sale not very common in France, I believe,
any moth than in England; but it suited me well
enough, the price was proportionably low, a . matter
of the first importance with me, and I bad no great
wish to acquire property in a foreign land, even bad
possessed the means. '

Upon the recommendation of the tailor, I had ta
ken into my service a girl from dranville, who, like
Scrub, was every thing to her master—cook, house
maid, valet, and even gardener. Nay, had I wanted
a groom or coachman, I have no doubt she would
have been both willing and able to officiate in either
charactei.—Madelon, for such was her name, was
about twenty years old, and no less strange tirrny
eyes, at least, in her costume than in her manner.
Madden was a rogue, that was clear; I read it in
her eyes and face, the first of which was remarkably
handsomie, and the latter would have been equal so
had it been less exposed to the weather ; for beauty,
after all,! isr a het-house plant, and requires no little
nursing !to its perfection. But then the tailor.gave
her an excellent character; and she confirmed his ac
count after a manner, than, in 'any ono else would
have been downright imputice, but in her by some
strange lalchy, my, was converted into humor and
simplicity.
The Month was June; the day fine ; an unusual
fit of cheerfulness seized me, and I felt in my dark
study much as a school-boy feels over his task, when
the sun is shining through the window, and the
young blood` is boiling in his veins. I flung down
my book—it was Goethe's Faust—and walked into
the fieldta that skirted my little domain. •
Before the fervor of those feelings had exhausted
itself; I }met poor French sailor. His manner in
duced me to enter , kite conversation with him,,and
whert in the course of! it, be learnt that I was the
owner of the near house, he testified his pity or sur
prise,' I know' not which—by a shrug of the shoulders,
and n bang drawn u Aid !" inimitable by, any save a
Frenchman. I was astonished in my turn. . _

This ef course did not satisfy ime. I pressed him
yet thole closely, and at last brought him to confess

Some greater , rascal Who eXpected, by (staining! my
fears, get a good bargain of; the house—:!pethapet
the tailor himself; he was like enough to do latch e
thing if he at , all repented of the sale. Had I been
a jot less angry I should have laughed in the fenow'ii
fact - fdr his excessive impudence.
Who is to become the purchaser T' I repeated.
!Net I, for one,' replied the seamen, ! Monsieo
may he sure of that.'
And so saying, he set off on - the road for Granville,
just I the punctual Madelon came to summon me
in to liiinuer; which, to her great annoyance; I lied
ilready kept waiting nearly a quarter of on hour',
enough, as she said, tii spell any thing but Englisli
cookery.
But Madelon's disappointment was not to end here.
Just es I sat down to table; in come an agent of thg
police, at sight of whom the poor girl turned as pale
is ashes. and I myself did !not feel too comfoitable,
tholl n l I could not imagine what I had done inmy
retire ent to draw upon me the attention of the au=
thorines at Granville. i Nor would the officer vouch.
safe Me a single syllable in answer. With,out 'bee!
towing a single look upon ; he terrified Madden, he
pereMptorily bade me Mimi him, assuring me that he
bad at hands•the means olcompelling obedlence if I
were itio unwise as not yield it voluntarily.: This was
true enodgh. Without were three sturdy folios's% in'
waiting ; and I had, therefiird nothing left to me but
to dol as I was ordered.
F'rom the maiked Gf the subaltern, I ar
gued !little good of 'my Meeting with his superior.
But herein I was agreeably disappointed. The re
fed (pr rather Sous refect,) / a tall, dark malt, with
akeeU but yet by no means', unpleasant expressioU
of features, received me with` great politeness:- Hie
first words were to apologise for any uneasiness his
might have given me, and this next to beg that
would be under no apprehensions. 'His conduct,'
he said, 'bad its origin in Motives which he at present
could ; not explain; but anything rather than evil
was intended to me personally.'
iouOlife will be attempted to night.—You seem
surpriseih bin there is nothing more certain. Are
you in the habit of keeping any weapons in your bed
roonil pistols, for instance ? '
g Hndonbtedly, I never go to rest or travel, with
out living a brace of pistols at my side.'
Whatever you may see or hear, you must nit
make , use of them on the present occasion—if, in
deed; this has not already been provided against.'
How 1 ' I exclaimed, 'not 'defend myself, if I see
a fellow in thy, bed-room, ready, 6:i cut my throall '
g No,' replied the prefect, cooly. You must not
even !speak, or move; or take any sort of notice at

bettei things, I hope I am speaking to an English

a matter where, as it seems to me, I ought to have
been 'the principaL'
I trust, in the end, you will have reason to think
otherwise. At all events, I have your word that you
will be passive 1 '
Most assuredly.
I am obliged to you for this confidence. Yet
one thing more. You will ho good enough not to
breathe a syllable to any one of what has passedbe
tween us. , Should your servant be curious —'
I Will be silent,' I said, interrupting him, 'though
I have not the slightest reason to,doubt her fidelity:
Ner do I doubt it ; but she Might chatter, or she
might'be t.farmed ; and in either case 'she would e•
qually defeat my projects.'
The first,' I replied, 'is impossible, as she has no
one in, the house except' myself to talk to ; the sec.
ond, I grant, is likely enough, though I should not
think Madelon was a woman to start at trifles either.
I will however do as you wish me, and the rather as
I cannot fie supposed to be a competent judge of
measures which I am utterly unable to divine the mo•

With this understanding I wasslismissed, and re
turned home, not well kndwing what to think of my
first introduction to French justice.. There.was , a
degrea of mystery in the whole proceeding that. I
might have laughed at, had it involved less merlons
personal consequences. As it was, I est down grave.

MORAL A. OVERTIME rf:
M
startled by a low whisper—se low. indeed, that na
ears but those sharpened by a deep sense of danger
could have distinguished it. The sound evidently
came from - under the bed. My first impulse, since f
was unarmed, was flight; but a moment's reflection
—and moments are bouts in such situations—con
vinced me that-to attempt leaving the room was, the
surest way' to rouse my assassins, whose scheme it
probably was to wait till I should be asleep. I took
my measure acCordingly, and with a calmness that
now seems evert t? myself surprising.
fly plan proceeded upon two suppositions—first,
that in ti short time the police would come to my as
sistance—and. secondly, that while I remained awake
the attempt upon my life would not be made. I
therefore protracted my preparations for rest is long
- as I possibly, could without awaking suspici on:: and
when, a ft er having , spent full half an hour at the
toilette, I at last went to bed, I took a book with me,
and left the limp burning on the table by my side.
To convince my enemies That I was watching, I read
aloud, - though I most frankly confess I hardly knew
what I- was reading.
On such occasions we , count time by minutes, and
think and feel more in a single pulsation than in a
day of common life. Half an hearted elapsed; and
still there was no symptoms of the police. I Oh, how
in my heart I cursed the dilatory Prefect! It was
not tobeexpected that the assassins would wait much
longer for my sleeping. I was' afraid to leave off
reading, lest my silence even for a moment, should
bring on the catastrophe: and yet I would have giv
en any thing to be able to listen freely, that I migt.t
catch the meaning of the whispers, that began again
low as before, but quick and impatient. The crisis
was evidently at hand. It was a terrible moment !
Ido not hesitate to say so—a terrible moment ! Had
I been armed, it hid been something : the conscious:
ness of having the means to make a struggle must
stir the blood, whatever be the odds but to be
locked up in the same room with a band of midnight
murderers, defenceless,guch a moment is terrible
The whispering grew more end 'more frequent
Had instant death been the consequence, I could-not
have read a moment longer. The book might be
said almost to drop from my hand, and scarcely al
lowing myself to breathe, list I should bile a single
syllable. I listened ti the almost inaudible whispers
till my ears tingled with the intenseness of the op . -
plication.. I heard the cocking of the pistol, and knew
the time was come,—when to my infinite surprise, the
door wasgently lift . off its hinges, the screws hav
ing evidently been drawn and left loose for that pur
pose. Whether it was the effect of the air upon the
door being opened or my moving, or only chance, I
know not ; but just then the curtain on that side of
the bed, which f had tucked back when I first began
reading, now fell forwards, and I could only see
through it the shadow. of two figures, without be
ing ab.e to distinguish - the persone. As I lay with
my eyes fixed in that direction, the light, which one
of theta held as if examining the min rendered i their
forms yet plainer. I could see that one of them ear
ned a weapon of some sort in. his hand, tied that
both were creeping stealthily towards my bed. Then
there was a pause. I thought from the action of the
hand, that the man who carried the drawn knife or
dagger gave a sign to those under the bed ; at all
events: they were in motion. I heard a slight rust
ling, and, turning my eyes to the right, saw through
the curtains on that side, the shadows Of no less
than six men rising successively from under the bed.
The natural instinct of self defence would have
prompted me to spring into the midst of them, and
make struggle for my life. But before I could move,
the shulows on my right flitted 'rapidly round my
bed—a loud shriek followed—and, on throwing back
the curtains, I saw Mahlon and the tailor 'strug
gling in , the hands of the police.
I now learned that the sudden deaths of my four
predecessors in possession of the house bad long ex
cited suspicion, and the rather as the property was
always sold for the life time of the occupant. This
had led the sub-prefect to imagine, as indeed was af
terwards confessed' by Midelon, that the tailor tempt
ed purchasers by the cheapness of his house, and
having pocketed the money, he then made away
with them as soon as possible, that he might resume
theTroperty, and have the benefit of a fresh sale on
the Same conditions. But however strong might be
the Prefect's suspicions, the tailor managed his af
fairs lob cunningly for him 'to get any thing like cer
tainty on the subject; and I might have perished as
my predecessors had done, to make.room for anoth
er tenant; had not a little' girl over-heahl the tailor
settling with Madelpn the time! and manner of the
murder. The child, naturally enough, Jost no time
in communicating what she had just heard to her
parents; and they as a matter of course, carried the
tale to the police. But, besides that she . was very
young—she was scarcely seven years old—she bad,
partly from fright, and partly - perhaps from a defi
cient understanding, contradicted herself so often in
her story that'the Prefect had deemed it prudent to
get more certain evidence by seizing them in the ve
ry attempt to murder., With this view, be had taken
the opportunity of Madelon's being absent in the af
ternoon, to introduce his , people into my bed-room.
-• In the midst of my Inquiries, the Prefect himself
made his appearance on the scene, with another par
ty of his gons-d'armes, in a high state of exultation,
as it seemed, atethe success of his schemes.

LAMER FROM EUROPE.,
'Tho Ship Acadia arrived at Boston;on the 7th
inst., from Liverpool. ahenco she sailed on the 19th
of March, thus completing her. passage 'in less than
nineteen days. She incoubtered, as in the case of
the British Queen, the most rough and tempestuous
weather. Whew' . she reached Halifax her supply f
coal was exhausted.
The news by the, Acadia may be considered
im
ps inasmuch as it shows that the aspect of af
fair is pacific. The excitement caused in London
by the reception of Mr. Prcxxxs' Report was. great.
ly alloyed by the Congressional debates which fol..
lowed its introduction, carried out by the steam-ship
Coltimbia. No allusions to the case McLeod have
bead made in Parliament. A London journal re
peats the statement quitted from the Times,
that the British Government have taken measures
to despatch fresh troops and• a naval squadron to this
country. The news, however, gains little confirma
tion l'rorn this.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, after the arrival of
the Columbia, was very dull; the prices, however,
had not materially varied. The Grain markets were
more frm at old prices. The tread in Tea mut
not brisk: during the week ending, the 151 h. the
saki amounted to 421.300 lbs. There has been a
slight advance in American and English Securities,
but no late quotations of State stocks are given.
France appears to be highly delighted at the
thought of a war between this vountry and England.
Our old ally is crowing too soon.
The news from China is fully confirmed.
Syria has been evacuated by Ibrahim Pocba and
the Egyptian army ; the London Herald of the 15th
says that the protocol agreed by the conference of
London, for regulating the affairs of the East, has
been accepted by the French Government, and that
France, Austria, and Prussia are expected in conse
(pence to proceed to a,gradual, if not an immediate
disarming.
Queen Victoria is not in an " interenting " situa
tion. Sony to hear it, for we have a great respect
for Ittle Vic.
A large number of the Americans in . Paris, it is
stated in an English paper, had taken alarm at the
demonstrations of war between England and Amer
ica, end many of them are re:toasty preparing for
their; depirture.
The English papers state, that a French brig of
war bound for France, put into St. Helena for t<•a.
ter 26th January, with a piratical vessel carrying
eighteen guns and 73 men, which she had captured
in one of the bays of Madagascar.
The King of Hanover is carrying on his suit
against Queen Victoria for the Crown Jewels sod
other valuable propeity.
The Chamber of Peers, Paris, has condemned the
editor of the National to imprisonment of one month,
and a fine of 400/. for calling the,*Peers enperanun

It is said that the Russian government is deeply
in debt, owing to her recent wars ; and to make mat

The Emperor Nicholas is now trying to make a raise
out of theVollanders.
The Boy Jones has been in Queen Victoria's pal
ace. What. can the young varmint be ‘ . arter. "
The London Globe of the 17th ult., gives the fol
lowing particulars:
THE POT JONES IN THE PALACE AGAlN.—Yester.
day evening the boy Edward Jones, who about three
months ago found his way in Buckingham Palace,
and had the satisfaction of inspecting the Queen's
apartments, and hearing the Princess Royal cry,
paid another visit to the Palace, but, luckily for the
peace of its inmates, he was soon discovered and la•
ken into custody. He had effected an entrance
unobserved by the guards and police stationed in
the Palace and its vicinity but before he bad time
to introits far, his progress was arrested by a ser
geant of police. He was instantly conveyed to the
station rouse, where he remained all night and to
day was brought to Bow street by two inspectors
of the A division. Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate
of that court, having communicated with the Home
Office.ordered the prisoner to be taken there, where
the.charge will be gone into, as on the late occa
sion.
The prisoner; only came out of Tuthill Fields
House of Correction this day fortnight, and it was
supposed from the punishment he had undergone,
that he would not repeat his offence. His father
says that offers have lately been made to him on
part of the government, and that they have propo
sed to place him in a ship of war, to keep - him
out of trouble. and afterward to get him - some alit -
ation in the colonies. This. howtver, his mother
diaopproved of. stating she did not like the idea of
her son being borne away from her. The boy him.
self appeared to ,ezbibit no unwillingness to leave
the country; he did not seem to have any wish to
commence active employment.
<,
lama:yin •3D WAIL—The English papers, for
the last mdnth or six weeks, have tailed as if they
would eat the Yankees without salt. Even Salt
petre wouldn'nt save them, if a hair of McLeod's
head was touched. We copy the following from
the Dublin Pilot, in order to show the state of pub
lic feeling on the "war question," on the other. side
of the Irish Channel.
War—England venue Ireland.
The time approaches when England must be he.
miliated or just, and Ireland may be free.
England may declare war, but who will war for
England Ireland 7 What t pay taxes. and shed
our blood! And fur what? . . . Why should
Ireland war against France? There is no Irish
feeling to be gratified. no Irish interest to be pro
moted. by such a war. What has Ireland done to
France. or Fiance to Ireland, that we should shed
each other's blood? . . France invades- ho.
land—well, where in her complicated embarrass.
ments will England find troops to defend Ireland,
and preserve her province ? Will Ireland defend
herself, or leave• the battle to the belligerents, and
make no choice between masters.? It is plain that
England dos! not calculate on Irish caoperation \ .
. A war against America is a war
against friends. Were England
_never our tyrant,
nor Ireland never her slave. we would war with re.
liietanee; but as it is—no," we cannot war with
America; our hearts forbid it—tur hands would be
powerless. 'Wetannot swell the ranks of such a
battleand for what.? For love of England ?

-c irageseeii•Before - coy arrival .at the
Seat of government, the painful Communication. as
made to you by the officers presiding over the !weir
d Depertmentsof the deeply regretted death of WO!
liani Ifeory• Harrison, fide President of the United
States. : Upon him yen ',had conferred your guitars
6r. the Snit-office In Sir gift, and had selected bins
as-your chosen Instrufeent to correct-and retenzt all
such errors and abuses is had manifested themselves
from time to_ Mews in the practical operation" of the
'prominent. While ',standing at the -threshcdd Of
this great work, he hue, by the dispensation of_ an
alt wise Providence, been removed from amongst 111.
and by tbe proiisions of the Constitution, the efforts
to be divested to the'aecompfishing of this vitally
important task have devolved upon myself.. Thin
same o ecurranee has seljectel tho wisdom and sulk
ficiency of our institutions to a new test. For the
first time in our history tl e pawn elected -to. the
Vice Posidency of the United Stater, by the hip
penlog of a contingency provided for in tl.e Oonatio
tation, has had devolved upon him the Prealeential
office. The spirit of faction, which - is directly op.
[mod to the spirit of a lofty patrioiso‘; may find in
this. oicrision for. assault upon my administration....
And in succeeding, under circumstances so sudden
and unexpected, and to reponeibilities so greatly
augmented; to the administration of public affairs, I
shall - Vace in the intelligence and patriotism of the
People my arty sure reliance. My earnest prayer
shall ho constantly addressed to the all-whe end all
powerful Being who made me, and by whose dispen
sation I am c lied toobe high office of P.eiLhnt cf
this confederacy, understandingly to carry out the
principles of that Constitution which I have sworn
"to protect, preserve, end defend."
, The usual opportunity whi. h is sif rded to a
Chief MaOstrate, upon . his ii eluction to office, of
presenting to his countrymen an exposition of the
policy which would guide his admini. trader, in the
form of an inaugural address, not hash g, under the
peculiar circumstance s s Whith have be. right me to
thedicharge of the limit duties of Pies.derit of thga..
United Stetter; been afforded to me,'n I riot eared
ton of the principleS which will govern me in the
general course of - my administration of public affairs
would seem to be due as.well to myself as to you.—
In regard to foreign an ions, the grcundwork of my
policy will be justice e h our part to all, inl milting
to injustice from nonr. While I shall sedulously
cultivate the !elane ns of pi ace and amity with one
and all, it will be my moat imperative duty to see
that the honor of the country shallsustain no blew.
ish. With a view to this, the condition of our mili
tary defences will become a' matter of anxious solici
tude. The Ar.ny, which has in other days covered
itself with renown. and the Navy, not inappropriate.. •
ly termed the iirht arm of the public defence,.which
his spread a light of glory over the American stand
ard in all the waters of the earth, should be rendered
replete with efficiency. _ .
In view of the fact well vouched by history, that
the tendency of all human institutions is to concen
trate power in the hands of a single man, and that :
their ultimate downfall has proceeded from this cause,,
I deem it of the moat essential importance that a
complete separation should take place between the
sword and the purseJ No matter where or how the
public moneys shall be deposited, so long as the Pre
&dent eon exert the power of at pointing and temov
ing, at his pleasure, tb e agents selected for their cus
tody, the Commander-in-chief of the Amy and Navy
is in fact the Treasurer. , A permanent and radical
change should therefirre be decreed. The patronage
incident to the Presiidential office, already -great, is
constantly increasing. Such increase isSiectined to
keep pica with -the growth of our population, until,
without a figure of speech, en army of office-holders
may be spread over the land. • The unrestrained
power exerted by a selfishly ambitious man, in 'or- •
der either to in rpetuate his authority or - to hand it
over to some favorite as his successor, may lead to
the employe eat of all the means within his control
to accomplish his object The right to ren ore (rpm'
office, while subjected to no just restraint, is inevita•
My destined to produeri a spirit of grouctung serail-
il with the official corps, which, in order to uphold.
'the hand which feedi them, would lead to direct and
active interference in the e'ections, both State and.
Federal, thereby subjecting the course of State, Leg- •
isfatioil to the dictation of the Chief Executive Offi- .
cer, a d making the will of that 'officer absolute and .
supra e. I will, at a proper time, invoke the action.
of Cogiess upon this subject, and shall readily ac
quiesce in the adoption' of ill proper measures which.
are cticulatcd to arrest .these evils, so full of danger
in thelir tendency. I will remove no incembeut front
officeiwil o has faithfully and honestly acquitted him

wheri, such officer has been guilty of an act.ve par-.

reedom of eleetioni. Numei.tis removals sou

made by me through no aciAity of feeling. I' have
bad no cause to cherish or indulge unkind feeling..
towards any, but my conduct will he regulated' by et,
-profound sense what is due to the country and itie
institutions; nor shall I neglect to apply the same
unbending rule to those of my own eppointment.i—
Freedom of opinion will be tolerated, the full enjoy
, meat of the right of suffrage will be maintained es
'the birthright of every' American citizen, built say
emphatically to the official corps, ""thus far and no
further." 1 have dwelt the longer upon this subject,
:because removals from office are likely to'arise. Matti
I would have my countrymen to - understand - the,.
principle of the Executive action. ' '
In all public expenditure's the most rigid economy
slitruld be resorted to, ; and, as one of ifs, s sUlta
,public .debt in time of peace be sedulously madded.
A wise anti patnotic Constituency will never object
to the imposition of necessary kurdens for useful
ends; and true _wield* digtatee she resort to surb
