Thia rxtraordinary caa' came on before the
Tribunal of the Seine, on tht,' 10ih orDecembor,
when Mr. Baroche, on the pari of Count Mnrti
er, resisted the interdiction applied f,r. The
care of Itia elient wou'd fully appear in the fol

Nov. 7, 18-17 When thee tinea etitli have
reached you. your sort, your daughter, and my-
celfahalt have ceased to exist. Our prematura
end will have been the inevitable result of your
machinations, and of your infamous conduct to.
wards me aince the birth of my da'jeliter. You
have driven me from your bed, inflicted on me
the eeverert humiliations, and the most poig
nant for a' man of honor to bear. 'I have horn
all for the love and honor of my children. I
have not loved you I have adored you ! Your j
request tr remain at Paris, your every wisi and
desire, have been gratified' with aa much eager
ness ae happiness. Nothing, however, could
satisfy your intractable character. When,
three years aince, you were at Paris, and I ;at
Turin, convinced by four ycara' experience that
I was ste'ul to V(iu, I oflered you an honest
lib. rty libbertv hannft ;)but that was not what
suited you. I then told y u in my Jetter every
day, 'It, aa I think, you have moral or physi

you to return to your father, and t 'promised to J what you have wished to dp to me and my chil
lea've you our children. That waa aurely, thejdren.-. My last. thought will bo one of ex- era
greatest sacrifice that I coutd make. I propoa- j (inn aod curves on you, aa well as on your mi-
ed also to return vou your fortune, and to make I
an allowance uf 20,tXK)f. per annum, as long aa
I should remain employed, for the support and
education of my children, as I would not they j
ainHild oeah expt-nse to your fattier. You have j
persisted in pieierving silence on the subject ;
and since my'return lo Paris, and have demand-
ed an expUnation, you replied.- "When you
shall have driven me from your hnuao it wil! be
time enough Kir me to seek an asylum with my
lather." It ia not an jioneift liberty that you
wish you wioh ecandal ; you seek to attract
public attention. ., 1 would not allow it. . When
you returned with me to Turin you were mie
treat nf my house, which did" nut prevent yoa
continuing to humiliate me as a husband, and
aa t man before the public. -You walked the
etreela alone in opposition to my representation
and to the custom of the eountry in which I held
an official ait nation.' ft waa a humiliation for
your husband ynu wished to exasperate him,
and to compel him to drive you from hia house.
"When, three months since, contrary to my
drairea, and, perhaps to my duties, I waa com-
j pellcd todt'insnri leave ofabepnee to accompa- 1
ny ynu. here, I had a - presentiment of what
would hnpp. n. At Ostend ynu were very ae
vere and eroel lowarda me; ynu refttaed me the
drestine case. I would pot die so Cj'iirk for
yon. The imntienee and annoyance of being
obliged through kindneaatotake eare of myself
were imprinted on your countenance. You
bronght me those dispoeitinnt to my poor mo
Iher, whom you have covered with humiliations
of all kind. To avoid aeeing her die of an at
tack of apoplexy, I was obliged to force yoa to
leave her house. In thia I fulfilled your desires;
for letter, evidently written four houra before
your departure, and found in your bed, announ
ced to me your fight, and your abandonment of
your children. This paper alone would havu
been sufficient to condemn you before a tribunal
lo anything I bad wished ; but I hate )he er.'utt
and acaadal to which your deatiny tod the ad
vice to which youbave listeoed appear to com
pel you.' You are to day triumphant you beat
reduced me to despair. You have your . full
liberty; nothing shack lea you. Husband aod
children are annihilated. That ia what you
wish thai ia what you have sough: for for a
long time under the mask of humility and reti
gton. ' You are now mistreaa of your fortune
and your time ; you tan amuse yourself, and
you a. ill have time to satisfy your lovers, be

' M. Rarnche then diaenntinued the reading of

of decency to withold, Count Mortier waa ill

warrfa learnt that the fact of her having been
rncicnt waa correct, and that ahe had mincer
ried ; he thim drew the conclusion that he had
been dishonored. Thia (said M. Baroche) waa
the purport of that part of the tetter which he
refrained from reading. Ho then resumed the
rcnding'tif the letter: '' "' '
In this painful pot-it ion I hnfj but two things

to withdraw my daughter from the shame and
ignominy which you would reserve to her; she
would become the prey, and the victim of one
of your lovers. You would place her in hia bed,
for your heart is corrupt enough for that. As
to your, son, the poor child has euch a precocity
of intellect that he has fully understood the sor
rowful condition of hia parents. 1 He compre
bends all the shame which you will throw .on

After concluding the reading of the letter,
the learned gentleman went on to obaerve that
although the charges brought against hia wife
were of the moat eerioue charactar, yet there
waa nothing lo indicate mental alienation. The
learned gentleman then went on to comment on
the different evenla which took place on the 7th
November the day on which the above letter
waa written. In the morning of that day the
Count sent a message to hia wife; but the ana-
wrr returned waa thai ahe could not see tho
children, aa she waa engage-! with her man of
business., Tbia refusal induced the Count to
send Ihe above letter. What, was her conduct
on receiving i'. If ahe had. believed in hia
threat of suicide and two-fold murder, her ftrtl
idea would have been to run to ihe Hotel Chath
am, and endeavor to calm Ihe agitation of her
husband f but alie did not do thie.
She left the house to proceed, perhaps, to the
prefect of police, er to the Chancellor of France.
What ia eertain, ia, that no intimation waa gi

with ti children until half paat two, a period

At nan pasi iwrytne commissary 01 ponce arri
ved, when Count de Murtier, thinking thai sjme
attempt would be fnade on hia liberty, attempted
to barricade himself. He declared that he
would allow no police officer to enter. The
commissary of. police, . who r'mamed at the
door, heard no Ihreala nf alieddins b'ood. On L
thACjiyitrary h C-imv was calm t he asserted
hia righta and entrenched himself behind Ihe sa-
cred prjnciplea o personaj hbprly,f
The learned gentleman -then went through
the detailaof the plana which had been resorted
to to enter the apartment,' and finally to disarm
nd trke the count into custody, and then pro
ceeds) to read the interrogatory which had la-
ken place, in order to establish the fct nf the
iinniindnessnf the mind ofCotint Mortier, and
concluded hit address to the jury aa'ollowa:
As magistrates and men, I call yotir attention
to the facte of Ihe care. It is for Count Morti
er a matter of lite or death. Rer him condemn
ed, although Calm and in Ml possession nf his
faculties to reside with madmen .' Iy;t him be,
therefore, immediately get at liberty. .
The proceed inga were postponed for a week.
in order lo five lime for the reply of tho coun
sel of Omntee Mortier.
Monday,' the lllth Dec, being appointed for
be hearing nf Ibe counsel on the Countess Mor
ier's side, the Court of Premiere Instance was
crowded at an early hour. A great number of
he family connect inne of the two parties were
present, having entered by the private door;
nd when at last the public were admitted, al.
most every seat was already occupied.. At half,
past 10 the president took hia seat, and the pro
cepdinga then opened.
The counsel for the countese went into a
long account to prove thit the count was or
an uneven temper frequently very violent and
eccentric.!
. M. Thrveniti, the Advncat dn Kni, then
bronchi forward his reqnisitory. He declared
that he bad no ohjectiona to offer in point of
form ; he accepted the discussion that waa to
ake place, whether on the basis of common law,
or on the law of 1838. The only question lo be
examined waa, whether or not Count Mortier
waa mad.
An affirmative decision waa probable. The1
letters ot the 7th of November, which were not
only addressed to Madame Mortier, but lo per
sona at too great a distance In he able to prevent
he execution,, of the horrid intent inna of M.
Mortier, were evidently not intended merely to
cauae hie wife lo return to him. There were.
moreover, previous to the sflsir nf Brtiffes, other
scenes of violence, which had been proved by a
number of witnesses, and yet nothing; positive
had resulted from it. M. Mortier would be a
pain interrogated, aa well aa the medical men.
nd an inquiry instituted; until that had been
done, no decision could be come to.
After the Advocat du Rni had concluded, the
Court adjourned, deferring its judgment until
the 15th.
Leap Vxa. Tliia year ia called leap year.
because it is the ladies' piivilege to jump into
the arma of Ihe man ahe fanciea. To prove it
a r-o, we quote from an old work, printed in
IfifK). entitled "Courtship, Love and Matrimo
nii" In Ihe Chapter inlitled When' ye girlea

speiks
"Albeit, it ie nowe a parte of ye Common

Therefore, ladiea. you must comply with the

Port re II e General Taylor.
The following pleasant and graphie "pen and-
ink alic'eh" of General Taylor, ia from the eb'
pen nf the Rev t)r. Wighfman. senior editor of
IhH Southern CJirintinn Advncntri D.iyhraak
overtook us just below Bib n ftotige, on tho
left bank of ihe river. We have pa'"d during
ihe night that most p!ctiirque portion of the
river called the coast. The alluvial margin
on ho'h sides of the. rivr spreada in breadth
from ronr hnmlred yards to a mile and a half.
Sugar plantations touch each other, and ele
gant residences stretch out as faraa tbe eyo can
Pillow Ihe bold enrvea n' the. river. After ihe
run of 155 miles, ih Mississippi looka note
whit narrower than at New Orleans; its aver
age width is about three quartera of a mile. At
Baton Rouge, where we touch a few minutes
to take in pissnngers, th'-re st finds, in company
with two or three other gentlemen, an elderly,
plain looking man,' who after a brief leave-taking,
rome on board. We shove tiff, the break
fast bell rings, and we find oar way to the table.
I observed that the entrance of our new fellow
voyager' oecnsioned'a subdued remark,' and
brought upon him the curious glancea of sever
al spectators and whispering to the clerk, who
was abotit to take the head ot the table, I asked
who he wiia. "General Taylor," waa the reply
"Indeed 1" Locky chance, Ibougbt I, that threw
me on board this craft. There w aa the verita
ble "Roiiih and Ready" sitting opposite me
sipping hia coffee; the nioet remnrkHble man,
m many respects, in tint Western hemisphere.
I had missed the gorgeous spectacle of hia New
Orleans reception the most magnificent affair
which had ever shaken that city with excite
ment; but vastly better, I had him now where
I could see and study the man a man whose
name belongs to history, and whose achieve
ments pIsco him side by aide wi'h Ihe great
captains of the world. The first thing that
t-trnck me was hia simplicity, an unfailing attri
bute of true greatness. He ate, and curried
himself with the unstudied ease ot a little child.
You would ha ve snppnsed him some plain coun
try gentleman, wha dreamed not of attracting
a look or calling out a remark ' All right in
that line thought I, but how different hnking
and better looking than Ihe' million of litho
eraph likenea which stare ynu in the face at
the shop windows and every where else t
There ia in the living orginal t.one of that
extreme breadth between the chin and the back
of Ihe head, very little of the protrusion ot the
lower hp, lo be f-und in the -Itihngrapha. In
a word, they are a bundle ol caricatures, one
and all. . lie ie precisely ihe height of ycur pre
sent correspondent ; has a considerable sprin
kle of gray hairs, isG'J yearsofaje, erct and
fi'in when on hia feet, with one of the kindliest
expreiisions'of face you ever saw. He bad on
a common blue frock coit with flat buttons, the
covering of which was worn off, showing that
it belonged to an order of things which pissed
away fome two or thn-e years ago. Still hia
dress aa a whole was sufficiently becoming, tho'
exhibiting no trice whatever of the military.
As we rose from tbe breaklast table t waa in
troduced lo the old hero I lold him I waa
from South Carolina, and rejoiced in the good
fortune which had allowed mo to see him and
tell him how much the people of may native
Siale honored and loved him. Hie eyes filled
with tears a he shook my hand w irmly; ani
I saw that the simple assurance of lovo could
affVct profoundly a man who laced Ihe storm of
battle with a nerve that moved. His con vers 1
lion exhibited fine clear, common sense, with
out the slightest tinge of any sort of affectation
or personal vanity. In the course of the dsy
he gsve me the details of the great batl'e of
Bocna Visit, the key to all the successes of the
American arma in Meg co. Hud that field been
loat, tbe fate of the war would l-ave been entire
ly different, even tho' indomitable courage might
in its long run have cut ita way to the Mexican
capital. That v ctory, wonugaiost odd so vast,
ga ve a prestig e to American valor that made
the subsequent battlea conipiratively easy af
fairs. Hut I must put a nub tiron my gallop

Tub Ejfrcnoa op AcaTan. A correspondent
of the Newark Advertiser, writing from Vien-
na, givea the following not very flatterin; de
scription of the Emperor of Austria;
"Hia Msjesty of Austria la a short, ill made
man, with a head by far too large for hia body,
and which (the head) he move, cnnattntly a
bout in a sort of nervons, mechanical, twitching
manner. Ha stands, I should judge, not more
thao 5 feel 3, ond ia fast approaching three
score, Hia countenance denotea any thing but
intellect, having a dull, unmeaning expression,
plainly indicative of both mental and physical
imbecility. It is well known that his mind
weak ; he passes much of his time in trifling
amusements, in eating and alecping, and i but
a more machine in the banda of the Km pr east
and Meternich. It gave me a thudJer of mel
ancholy to see such a man, and he the ruler of
millions, pass, through all that aplendid army
of noble looking men, on many of whom God
had plainly set the inprint of genius and power
It U said that an eagle shot by one of hia cour
tiers, was brooybt to him, and on being to'd
that it was an eagle, be denied it, saying. 'No,
no, an eagle ia alwaya double-headed' the lat
ter being tbe national emblem of Austria."
At Acstbiaw Palace. Prince Leichenstein'a
residence at Vienna ia a epecirren of the im
mense coat of some ot the Austrian palaces. A
correspondent of the Newark Advertiser givea
the following account of it;
"For a couple of hours I wandered throuph
apartments filled with the most costly end lux--urioiu
furniture reminding one nf the fairy
palaces described in tho Arabian Nights; ndr
rora covering the w hole side of a room, chiin
deliera of rock crystal and gold, floors o! po'ish
ed wood laid in curious mosaic, sta'uary of Car.
rara marble, bronse of rare workmaphhip, thf.
wallscnvered with rich silk and gold brocadtj,
ceilings of immense height painted in tresco au 1
arabesque, etarcasea, halls and columns nf poti ti
ed marble and gypsum mosaic tables, Sic. In
a word, the interior decorations of this superb
palace cost 8.000.P00 florins, or 4 000 0(10 dol
larsit fnr exceeds any two of the hundreds I
have seen, and ie ruperior to that of tiie Empe

an income of upwards of 81.0(10.000 yearly, aid)
is the owner of 99 estates and palaces. N ieu
jecis of Austria can possese more than ifcu
number, unless lie keeps up a standing army so
be controlled by the government. The Pricce,
therefore, contents himself with hia 09, i,ot
caring, I suppose, to piy too dearly for an addi
tions! one."

us as thou wait with Joshua when be went How a
