t' Romance audßcvolver, * The Emperor of Russia has lately'per* formed an act of justice (d,a much injured and honorable American- fatmlyi which reflects the highest honor on his government. The facts were given me by Mr. Sale, the prtnci pal writer to Dicken’s Household JVoris , with whom! bad the pleasure to dine at Lon don, and who, was an actor in the history I am going to give you. About eighteen months ago, a Miss Ward from one of the Southern Slates, was mar ried at Florence, after a short courtship,.tp a Polish CounJi whose unpronounceable dame ebcspee me nl this moment, • They were mar ried before "the American Consul, I believe. After living with Misp Ward, maritally for three weeks, the Count took French leave one fine morning ood carried off his wile’s jewel ry as booty. -A- letter- left behind informed Miss Ward of A fact of which she had been till that moment entirely ignorant, to wit : that any Russian subject not married accord ing to the service recognized by the Greek Church and the Russian Government, was invalid and not binding, apd that the service which had united them resembling in no wise the one required, they were as tree as if no service-had been performed. The consterna tion of Miss Ward and her family at thip de-. leclable piece of villainy may well be im agined ; for on inquiry they found that the Count's statement was-but too true. Miss Ward and her mother remained a short lime in Italy, endeavoring to obtain some hind of redress for the base imposition which had been practiced on them, but their efforts were fruitless They then came to Paris and spent£lhe winter here, where they were generally known to the American resi dents in the place. At the period qf the coronation of the-Em peror of Russia, they went to St. Petersburg. It was here that Mr. Sula made the acquaint ance of the family, by a letter of inlroduqtion Irom Pans. The family were going to de manß justice of the Emperor of Russia against ms scoundrely subject. Mr. Sala drew up (be peuiloni to the Russian Minister, and in this petition Miss Ward demanded of Russian Government, “the rehabiliation ofj her honor bv a lawful marriage with-the i Count. The document was handed to Mr. Seymour, the American. Minister, and ho | handed,!! to the Russian'Winistßr of Stale. The moment the case was laid before tnp ' Emperor, an order was issued 10 the Russian , Minister at Naples (where ihe Count Was then ] imngj 10 confer wnh,the Neapolitan Govern- j mem, which was jusi then in great favor with ( Russia, yielded ai dnce to the request. The I Ooum was seized bv a Neapolnan police, and j at Russia's expense was conducted to the Russian frontier; there he was received by J ine Russian police add carried to" Warsaw.; The Wards were already there awaiting his 1 arrival The Couni was marched into the 1 Church by a posse of policemen, and-was compelled Iq stand up before the altar and, 1 marry Miss Ward in due iorm. When the ceremony was concluded, his wife, now le gal) v the Countess of , made him a for mal bow, and bade him adieu lorever, And Sala, who was present, exclaimed, “Young America forever ’’’ The Count, who was an exile, was sent to Siberia, his property was confiscated, the Countess retained by taw one-lbird. -The family immediately left again for l>aty, where ihev are spending the winter. The lather and brother of Miss Ward were present at ine marnaqe at Warsaw with revolvers m iheir pockets, determined, if there was any flinching on the pari .of the Count, lo blow ms brains out. For in view of the fact that lie was destined for Siberia under any circum stances, it was feared that he might not nl the last moment pronounce the necessary word. —huropean correspondent of the New York lime: Tlie Indian War in Florida.-- A detachment of Cum. Wm. H. Kendrick’s Company of Mounted Volunteers, under com mand of Lieut. Mizeli, came upon a trail of Indians on the 4th nisi., on the west side of tstapogtt creek. The trail crossed the creek at me same place that Gen, Harney did ; and Kept his course for about ihrep-railes beyond when it struck a course a liule west of south. About eight miles trom this divergence me Volunteers came on the Indian camp, minus me Indians. It is supposed ihatfhe Indians bad antici pated an attach, ono had lost no lime in leaving thif premises, as, in their haste, they left enough to supply their pursuers with an abundance of trophies, such ns baskets, cups (cul from the cypress,) an elegant hoe, bread trov (’mode from the hner-rool and koonle,) bear skins, a shirt (made of buckskin,) ana many other articles scarcely worth men uomii. The Indians'hnd commenced o permanent establishment, as 'their constructions and ar rangements ■ would snow Seventeen or eighteen places lor pounding bner-rool were m course 01 construction, and some palmetto sheas wore going un ; a quan'ily of brier root had been collected, and half a bushel of acorns ('shells removed) were laid in a pile near oy. in the opinion of the men who discovered the camp, mis gang comprised about 15 or 20 Indians, with their families, •They had followed Gen. Harney’s Irarl, it is supposed, for me purpose of securing his '■leavings.’' IheTndians were not pursued beyond the camp. Lieut. Mizeli will probably report the reason The (acts given above are gleaned from a private letter the only information received at this place concerning the matter-rand wo nave no doubt of the correctness of the state ments, gs the writer had conversed with seve ral men of Ltuut.
