Tub friends of ihc' Restoration were
beginning to recover from the alarm of
the hundred days, .niid a numerous so
ciety, composed of discontented Impe
rialists was assembled at the Hotel of
the Due dell . The conversation
turned on the eclipsed glories of the
Tuilleries, and the difficulty of effecting
a junction between the old and new no
bility. On a sudden the folding doors
were thrown open, and an attendant,
in a loud voice, announced a messen
ger from the King. At these words
every one arose, for they considered
that a message brought by an officer of
the household must bean advance to
ward reconciliation. The gentleman
approached the master of the house,
and bowing, placed a billet sealed with
the royal arms', in Ins band. The Duke
brojvc the seal, and read, thp contents to
his gVics'ts." ' There were hut two lines :
"The King will receive the Due do
11- to-morrow after mass.
Signed Louis XVIII."
After the departure of the messenger,
various conjectures were formed re
specting this first overture from the
rourt, and it was late before tho party
generated, having first agreed to meet
on the following evening, to learn the
result of the important interview. The
l)u!ie. on risin-i next morning, took up
the Odes of Horace, and read over some
of the most remarkable passages the

his valet to take more than usual pains

age of an obsequious crowd, had now
to elbow his way as he best might, in
order to arrive at the door of the sane
turn sanctorum. He was announced,
and the Kina waved his hand to Messrs,
Ulacas, Lachatrc.and Ambrogcax.who
retired smiling. The door closed after
them, and the greaJ, subject of the em
pire found hirnsell tete-a-tete with the
King of r ranee. -
He seated. M. le Due.

self in an attitude to listen with attention
to the monarch.
You were a long time Minister of
Police to Bonaparte, M. le Due t
Sire, his Majesty, the Emperor, hon

Far be it from me to blame j our de
votion ; I honor faithful servants. But
France has recovered her legitimate
prince, and you are now my subject,

of you a piece of service, which is to
me of some importance.
Will your Majesty put my zeal to the
proof T
1 he question I am about to ask of
you, must be answered with sincerity.
The Duke bowed.
It is the misfortune of princes to he
surrounded by traitors; not only in
prosperity, but in adversity. I am in
doubt on a point which you alone can
relieve, and again I appeal to your sin
cerity. I shall obey your Majesty !
Well, then, it is my pleasure that you
do not quit my presence until you have
told me the name of the wretch who
betrayed his unfortunate master at
llariwell, and corresponded with vou!
I did not expect this question, mutter
ed the ex minister of Police, turning
pale.
Sir, I wait your answer !
I am profoundly grieved that I can
not obey your majesty in this particular

Darkness brings counsel, Due de
II therefore, I will give you till to
morrow, when I hope, for'your interest
as well s mine, that you will be more
conformable !
The Duke, on regaining his hotel,
shut himself in his cabinet, and refused
to see any of the numerous visitors,
whom curiosity had brought to his
door.
The following day, he again present
ed himself before the King. Well, M.
induced a resolve to oblige me.
I have spent the niglit, Sire, in re
gretting that your Majesty had not
tried my devotion by requiring a possi
bility. Then you persist in your refusal ?
Irrevocably, Sire.
Perhaps we may have the means of
rendering you more accommodating.
Do you know this writing ? continued
the monarch, taking from his bureau a
packet of letters.
That writing is mine !
And this ?
It is also mine ; vour Majesty greatly
surprizes me f
hxaminc those papers, Monsieur, it

Will your majesty be pleased to pity

Instead of convicting and punishing
one unworthy person, would you rather
that my suspicions should attach to all
the companions of my exile.
The Duke lamented the awkward
situation, ho was placed in.
lo relieve your scruples, shall 1 tell
you tho amount of the sums which you
transmitted to your emissary was it
not 4.:8- 000 francs (

And tho monarch wrote the following
question, and then placed it before the
Duke :
" The King of Franco desires tho
Due de II to divulge the name of
the traitor who sold his secrets at Hart-
well."
Tho character ol the writing caused
the Duke to tremble, and return tho
paper to Louis,',vho immediately added
these words :

And you would have the solution of

Know then that the spy of Bonaparte,
your correspondent at llartwell, was
no other than Louis XVIII, King of
France and Navarre. Necessity taught
me to disguise my writing. The sums
of money received from you were dis
tributed in relieving the distresses of
my poor emigrants, who were suffering
from privations of all kinds; and thus
vou contributed 'to a good work un
knowingly. The secret was confided
to only one friend, my faithful Blacas;

This w retched man, the murderer of
Brown's family, suffered the awful pen
alty of the law, on the Gth inst. He was
executed in tho Jail Yard, a few min
utes before three o'clock, P. M. Al
though the execution could not be fully
witnessed, by those curious to sec its no
velty, and the unparallclled enormity of
the crime which caused it, it attracted
a very large crowd, which swarmed
around the jail, until the wretched be
ing atoned for the blood of his kindred
with his own. The scene w ithout im

Down lo the hour of his execution.
nay t the very moment the drop fell,
he stubbornly persisted in asserting his
innocence. All hopes of his making
iny acknowledgment was entirely
removed by his sullen and dogged
conduct. He was taken upon the scaf

a word confessed. But the rope broke,
and iHstead of hanging, very much to
his -own astonishment, we suppose, he
