About one league distant from the city of' Toulouse, there is a village called Croix•Dau rade. In the military history of England, this place is associated with the famous charge of the-eighteens 11.-hussars,-which-united-twa-se arate columns of the British army, on the day before the Duke of Wellington fought the bat tle of Toulouse. In the criminal history of France, the village is memorable as the scene of a daring Crime, which was discovered and punished under circumstances sulficieatly re markable_to _merit preservation in ; the form of aplain narrative. • TER PERSONS OF TUE DRAMA. Tn the Yea; seventeen hundred, the resident priest of the village of Croix-Durado was Mon sieur Pierre-Celestin Chaubard. Ile was a man of no extraordinary energy or capacity, simple in his habits, and sociable in his dispo sition. Ills character was irreproachable; he was strictly conscientious in the performance of his duties; and he was universally respected and beloved by all his parishioners. Atnong the members of his flock, there was a family named Shadows. The head of the household, Saturnin Siadoux, had been long established in business at Croix purade as an I oil manufacturer, at the period of the events I , now to be narrated. He hod attained the age of sixty, and was a widower. His family con sisted of five children.-4hree . young men, who helped him in the business,-and two daughters —and his nearest living relative was hie sis ter, the widow Mirailhe. . . The widow resided principally at Toulouse. Her time in that oily was mainly occupied in winding up the business affairs of her deceased husband, which had remained unsettled for a considerable period after his death, though de lays in realizing certain sums of money owing to his representative. The widow had been left very well provided for—she was still a comely attractive woman—and more than ono substantial citizen of Toulouse had shown him self anxious to persuade her into marrying for the second time. But the widow Mirailhe lived on terms of great intimacy and affection with her brother Siadoux .and his family; She was'sincerely attached to them, and' sincerely unwilling, at her age, to depriim her nephews and nieces, by a second marriage, of the in heritance, which would otherwise fall to them I on her death. Animated by these motives, she closed her deers resolutely on all suitors who attempted to pay iTiefr court to her, with_ the one exception of a master-butcher of Tou louse, whose name was Cantegrel. This man was a neighbor of tire widow's, and had made himself useful by assisting her in the business complications which still hung about the realization of her late husband's es tate. The preference which she showed -for the master-butcher was, thus far, of the purely negative kind. She gave him no absolute en couragement she would not for a moment admit that thereWne the slightest prospect of her ever marrying him—but, at the same time, she continued to 'receipt, his visite, and she showed no disposition to restrict the neigh borly interopuree between - them, for the fu ture, within &rely formal bounds. Under - these circumstances, Saturin Siadoux began - roljo -- ,- - a4t - oceiriaiid - to flank it flaw to bestir _hinted( had no personal acquaintance • with Cantegrel, who nover,yisited the village; and -Monsieur Choubard (to whom he might otherwise have applied for advice)'was not in a position to give anfipinion: th\ priest and the m aster butcher did not even.now each other by eight. In this difficulty,' Sindoux Vetilotight himself - of inquiring privately at Toulouse, in „the ;hope of diecovering Borne" soandaloui passages in CantegroPp early life,- which naight_latal ii.degrade„him-. in_ the 'esti mation of the widow Mirailhe. =galloon- rs-ueuallt - -enchtnapes,-.pro&iced XII more and rePerts'in plenty,- the - greater part -of which - dated back to - a - period - of the-hutch -Oen-life -when he had melded in-:the :ancient .'. town' of, IslarbOnnei , One 'of these iiiinors, esPeoially, wrs-ttf-so serious a nature, that Spi thiux.-dititerminel-to tesethe truilForfalsehood of it, persoriallY; traveling to Narbonne.—' : ,Heitepi asintention a' secret': notonly from his eister_and his daughters,-but - also from his' 'Soria i.lirey - Wer& Young 'men, MA-Over-patient R'ol2, in theirtnnipers---,and-lie-doubted-theirdlecre— tion. '''Thus, nobody knew his real purpose but himself, when he left home. His safe arrival at Narbonne was notified in a letter to his family. The letter entered into no particulars relating to his secret errand it merely informed his children of the day when they might expect him back, and of cer social arrangements which ho wished to be made to vvelemite him on hie return, He proposed, on his way home, to stay two days at Castelnaudry, for the purpose of paying a visit to an old friend who was settled there. According to this plan his return to Croix- Daurade would he deferred until Tuesday, the twents -sixth of April, when his family might expect to see him about sunset, in good time for supper lie further desired that a little party of friends (night be invited to the meal, to celebrate the twenty-sixth of April (which was a feast day in the village,) as well as to celebrate his return. The guests whom he wished. in be invited wero, first, his sister: secondly, Monsieur Chaubard, whose pleasant disposition made him a welcome guest at all the village festivals: thirdly- and fourthly, two neighlSors, business men like himself, with whom he lived on terms of the friendliest in timacy.. Tlint was the party ; and the family of Siadoux took especial pains, as the time approached, to provide a .supper worthy of the-guests,, who had all shown the. heartiest readiness in accepting their invitations. This was the domestic position, these were tha family prospects. on the morning of the twenty-sixth of April—a memorable day, for years afterwards, in the village of Croix Dau rade. I= Besides the curacy of the village church, good Monsieur Chaubard held some small ec clesiastical preferment in the cathedral church of St. Stephen at Toulouse. Early in the fore noon of theliventy sixth, certain matters con nected with this preferment took him from his village curacy to the city—a distance which has been already described as not greater than one' French league,' or betwe ,K ett:two - or three English miles. After transacting his business, Monsieur Chaubard parted with his clerical brethren, who left him by himself in the sacristy ('or -vestry4-of-the-ch arch—Beforo-lie-had -q tt ed the room, in his turn, the beadle entered it , and inquired for the Ahbo de Mariotto, one of the officiating priests attached to the cathe dral. "The Abbe bas just gone out," replied Mon sieur Chaubard. " Who wants him?" "A respectable looking man," said the bea dle. I thought he seemed to be in some dis tress of mind, when he spoke to me." ttDid he...mention: ltis 41,14#11.teea*411„the Abbe 'I"- "Yes, sir; he expressed himself as•anxious Lo make his confession immediately." "In that case," said Monsieur Chaubard. "I may be of some use to him in the Abbe's absence—for I have my authority to act here as confessor. Let us go into the church, and Bee if thitt person feels disposed to accept my services." When they went into the church, they found the man walking backwards and forwards in a restless, disordered manner. His looks were so strikingly suggestive of some serious men tal perturbation, that Monsieur Chaubard found it no easy matter to preserve his com posure, when he first addressed himself to the stranger. "I am sorry," he began, "that the Abbe de Mariotte is not here to offer you his ser- ME=l " I want to make my cofession," said the man, looking about him vacantly, as -if tb'• priest's words had not attracted his attention. "You can do so at once, if you please," said Monsieur Chaubard, attached to this church, and I possess the necessary au thority to receive confessions in it Perhaps, however, you are personally acquainted wi:h the Abbe de Mariotte? Perhaps you would prefer waiting,—.." ~-N O!" said the man, roughly. "1 would as soon, or sooner, confess to a stranger." - "In that case," replied Monsieur Chaubard, "be so good as to follow me." He led the way to the confessional. The beadle, whose ourioSity was excited, waited a little, and looked after them. In a few utes, he saw the curtains, which were some times used to conceal the face of the officia ting priest, suddenly drawn. The penitent knelt with-his back turned to the , ohurch,-,- There was literally nothing to see but the beadle waited nevertheless, in expectation ,of the end. lAfter a long lapse of time, the curtain was withdrawn, and priest and penitent left the oonfemeional The change which the interval had worked in Monsieur Chambord was so extraordinary, that thAeadle's attention was all ogother with drawn, in the interest of observing it, from the man who had made the confession. He did not remark by which door the stranger left the church—his eyes were fixed on Monsieur Chau bard. Tho priest's naturally ruddy face was as white as if he' had just risen from a long sickness—he looked straightbefor9t!im with a stare of terror:—and he left the church as hurriedly as if he had been a man escaping from prison; left it withoui a parting word, or a farewell look; althOugh ho was noted for his courtesy to his inferiors on all ordinary occaniona "Good I%lonbieur'Cliaubard has heterd more than ho bargained-for," said the beadle, wan-• dering,lMek to the empty Confessional; with an interest which he had never felt in it till that. moment: ; - The_ day:Woro on aalluin.tly as usual in r t 4; village of Croix-DhuraAlo. appolntnd limo, thn supper' table-waslahl for thw-guests and the two neighbors,, tirrivod a ttlo bSfore - su s'e was usualli. punotuaLl_:did-not—tnakorila ap 'pesaranco with them; and whom OM 'daughters of Saturnia Shtdoux looked outfrom .the up- per tukw no , eigne fond of,thoir fattier's folpfn.

Another message came up from the kit °hen, and peremptorily forbade the company to wait any longer. . " But where is Monsieur Chauberd ?" said the widow. " Has he been taking a journey, too? Why is he absent? I4as anYbody'seen him to -day?' ' "I have seen him to-day,",said the young est eon,' who had not spoken yet. 'This young man's name was Jean; be wad little given to talking, but bad proved himielf, on various domestic occasions, to be the quickest and most of servant member of the family. "Where did you see him?" asked the widow. " I met him this morning on his way into Toulouse." He has not fallen ill, I .bope ? Did he be look out of sorts when you met him?" " He was in excellent health and spirits," said Jean..- " I never saw him look better—" And / never saw him look worse," said the second of the neighbors, striking into the conversation with the aggressive fretfulness of a hangry man. " What!" .this morningreOwilean, in as= tonishment "No ; this afternoon." said the neighbor. " I saw him going into our church here. He was as white its our plates will be—when they come up. And wuarirt nary, he passed without taking the slightest notice of me." Jean relapsed into his customary silence.— It was getting dark; the clouds had gathered ?while the company bad been talking; and, at the first pause in the oonversitipf, the rain, falling againin - torrentS, mitcle.-Vself,-drearily audible. "Dear, dear me!"

With those words he left 'the room. The supper was put on the table forthwith. The htingry neighbor disputed with nobody from that moment, nod the melancholy neighbor recovered his spirits. • On reaching the priest's house, Thomas Sia doux.found him sitting alone,in his study. He started to his feet, with 'every appearance of the most violent alarm, when *the young man entered the room. "I beg your pardon, eir," said Thomas; "I am afraid I have startled you." - "What do you want?" asked Monsieur iIM;LMI manner " Have you forgotten, sir, that this is the night of our supper?" remonstrated Thomas. " My father has not come back; and we can only suppose—" At these words the priest dropped into his chair again, and trembled from head to foot. Amazed to the last degree by this extraordi nary reception of his remonstrance, Thomas Siadoux remembered at the same time, that. be had engaged to bring Monsieur Chaubard back with him; and he determined to finish his civil speech, as if nothing had happened. We are all of opinion," ho resumed, "that the weather has kept my father on the road. But that is no reason, sir, why the supper should be wasted, or why yousbould not make cue of us, as you promised. Here is a good warm oloak—" can't come," said the priest.. ~ " I'm ill ; I'm in bad spirits ; I'm not fit to go out." He sighed bitterlyond hid his face in his hands, "Doriqi:say that, sir," persisted Thomas, "If you aro out of spirits, let us try to cheer you. And you, in your turn, will enliven:us. They are all waiting for you at borne. refuse, sir," pleaded the young "ore. shall think we have offended you, in some way. Yon halm always been a good friend to our family—" • ' Monsieur chaubard again rope from his chair, with a second charige of manner, as extraordinary and as perplexing'as - the first. His eyes moistened as if the - tears were ris.. ing in them ; he took : , ,tho_hp.hil ' of Thomas Siadonx, and pressed it long ,and warmly in his own. There was a curious' mixed ex. pression of pity and feur in the look which lie-now fixed on the yohng man. "Of all the days in nip year," be said, very earnestly, 'don't doubt My friendship - to day.

The young man's abso lute silence at the table did not surprise his brotherS, for they were accustomed to his aeiturn habits. But the sullen distrust be- treyed in his close obseivationa of the how ored guest and friend ()rile family, surprised endangered them. The priest himself seemed onto or twice to be =p;ree which he was subjected, and to feel, uneasy and offended, as he naturally might. He ab • stained, however, from openly noticoing Jean's strange behavior ; and Louis and Thomas were bound, therefore, in common .politeness to abstain from noticing it also. The inhabitants of Croix-Daurade kept early - hours. Towards eleven o'clock the company rose and separated for the night. Except the two neighbors, nobody had en. joyed the supper, and even the two neigh• hors having eaten their fill, were as glad to get home as the rest.

'III Tlli YOUNGER BROTHER When post time came on the morning of the twenty-seventh, no letter arrived from Satur- nin Siadoux. On consideration, the family interrige — d this ctrcutnsfance in a favorable light. If the master of the house bad not written to them, it followed, surely, that ho meant to make writing unnecessary by return. ing on that day. .As tfik,hours passed, the widow and her nieces looked out, from time to lime, for the absent man. Towards noon, they observed a little assembly of people approaching the vil lage. Ere long, on a nearer view, they recog• nizod at the head of the assembly, the chief magistrate of Toulouse, in his official dress. None of, the valuables about the dead man's "Lieten,".- eaid 'jean. "No clue has been found to the secret. of the, murder. The ma- Lgistrate has'promised - us to do his best—but I saw in his face but little hope. •We must mike the discovery ourselves—or our father . 's blood will have oriel to us for vengeance, and oried in vain. Remember that—,and mark my next words. You heard me say yesterday evening that I had met Monsieur Chaubard on his way to Toulouse in excellent health and spirits. You heard' our old friend-and neigh bor at the supper table contradict me, and de- clare that he had seen the priest, some hours later, go into our church hero with the face of a panio-stricken man. You saw, Thomas, howhe behaved when you went to fetch him to our house. You saw, Louis, what his looks were like when he.came in. The change was noticed by, everybody—what was the cause of it? /saw the cause in the priest's own face, when our father's name turned up in the talk round the supper table. Did Monsieur Chau bard join in that talk? Ho was dhe only per eon present who never joined in it once. Did he change it, on a sudden, whenever it came his way? It came his way four times; and four tines he changed it—trembling, stammer• ing, turning whiter and whiter, but still, as true as the heaven above us, shifting the talk off himself every time! Are you men? Have you brains in your heads? Don't you see, as I see, what this leads to? Oa my salvation I •ear.i.te— , tlae„ity,iesttlings the hand that killed our father!" The faces of the two elder brothers dark ened vindictively, as the ,aonviction of the truth fastened itself on their minds. "flow could he know of it?" they inquired, eagerly "He must tell us himself," said Jean. "And if he hesitates—if he refuses to open his lips?' "We must open them by main force." They drew their chairs together after that last answer, and oonsulted,'for some time, in whispers. When the consultation was over, the bro• there rose and wont into the now where the dead-body-of their father was' laid out.' The threil kissed him, in turn, on the -forehead— then took hands together, and looked ' , mean ingly, in each other'e faces—then separated. Louie and Thomas put on their hats, and went at once to the priest's residence; while Jean ' thdcew-by-Ititusolf-to-the-grea t-room--ot-1 he-- back of the house, which was used for the purposes of the oil factory, Only one of the workmen was left in the place. He was watching an immense caldron of boiling linseed oil. "You can go home," said Jean, patting ttie man kindly on the shoulder. "There is no hope of a night's rest tor me, after-the afflic tion that has befallen us—l will take your place at the caldrott, Cio home, my. good fel low—go home.' The man thanked him, and withdrew. Jean followed, and satisfied himself that the work man had really loft the house. He then re turned, and aat down by the boiling caldron. Meanwhile, Louis and Thomas presented themselves at the priest's house. Ile had not yet retired to bed, and he received them kind ly—but with the same extraordinary agitation in his faee and manner which had surprised all who saw him on the previous day. The brothers were prepared beforehand with an answer, when ho inquired what they wanted of him. They replied immediately that the shock of their father's horrible death had so seriously affected their aunt and their eldest sister, that it was feared the minds of both might give way, unless spiritual consolation and assistance were afforded to them that •night. The Unhappy priest—always faithful and self sacrificing where the duties of his minis r pry were in question—at once rose to ao company the young men back to the house. Ho even put on his surplice, and took the cru cifix with him, to impress his words of comfort all the more rolemifly,ohltiii afflicted women whom he was called on to succor. Thus innocent of all suspicion of the con spiracy to which he had fallen a victim, he was taken into the ruoom where Jean sat wait ing by the caldron of oil ; and the door was locked behind him. Before he could speak, Thomas Siadoux openly avowed the truth. "It is we three who want you," ho said-- '•not our aunt, and not our sister. If you answer our questions truly, you have nothing to fear. If you refuse—" He stooped, and looked toward Jean and the boiling caldron. • Never, at the best of times, • a resolute man; deprived, since the day before, of such re f3urces of. energy as he possessed, by the mental suffering which he had undergone in secret—the unfortunate priest trembled from head to foot, as the three brothers closed round him. L'ouis took the crucifix frorn him, and held it; Thomas forced him to place his right hand on it; Joan stood in front of him andliut the questions. Whoever CONOLUDED NEXT WERE.

In the, yearl7B6, an insurrection, took' place in' Massachusetts. " A heavy debt lying on. the State, and almost,' all the. corporations. within it; a relaxation of manners; ,a, free use of foreign .luxuries; a decay of 'trade; with a scarcity of money; and above, all, the' debts due from individuals to each"other; were the primary causes of this sedition. Heitiry taxes necessarily imposed at this time, were the - immediate excitement to discontent and insurgency." The leader of the malcontents in Massachu setts, was Daniel Shays. At the head of '3OO men, he marched to _Springfield, where, the Supreme Judicial Court was in session, and took piissession of the Court House. He then appointed a committee, who. waited. on the Court with an order couched in the humble form of a petition, requesting them--not to proceed to business; and.both parties retired. Th'e number ... of insurgents increased ; 'the posture of. affairs became • alarming, and an army of .400 men was ordered out for their dispersion. This force was placed under: the command of General Lincoln. MS first Mea sure was. to march to Worcester;, and he•af forded such protection to the Court at that place, that it resumed and executed the- Judi. vial functions. Orders were given to General Shepard, to collect a force sufficient to secure the arsenal at Springfield. Accordingly, he raised about 900 men, who were reinforced by 800 militia from the county of Hampshire. At the head of this force he marched, as di rected, to Springfield. On the 25th of January, Shays approached at the head of 1100 men. Shepard sent out one of his aids to know the intention of the insurgents, and to warn them of their danger. Their answer was, that they would have the barracks, and they proceeded to within a few hundred yards of the arsenal. They were . , then informed, that the militia were posted there by order of the Governor; and that they would be fired upon, if they approached neat er. They continued to advance, when Gen. Shepard ordered his men to fire, but to direet, their fire overtheir lends; even this did not intimidate thorn, or-retard--their movements. The artillery was then levelled against the centre column, and the . whole body thrown into confusion. Shays attempted in vain to ritlly them. They .made a precipitate retreat to T utilow-about ten-. from-Springfield. Three mon were killed and ono wound ed. ' They soon after retreated to Peetersham ; but General Lincoln pursuing their retreat, they finally dispersed. Some of the fugitives retired to their homes; but many, and among them their principal °Mem, took refuge. in_ the States .of.,.New Hampshire, Vermont and Now York. • A CATHOLIC PRIEST'S WAR SPEECIL—The Sunday after: the President's firColette:Hon calling for seventy-ftve thousand troops, Fattier Creedon, the priest of the largeCatholip church at Auburn, preached a war sermon, as did other clergymen in Auburn. The other Zer mons were said to be up to the times, 'but Father Creedon's was concluded on all 'hands to be the most pertinent. Ho said, substanti ally: • I wish every man who can leave his family, to enlist. This is the first country that the Irishman ever had that he could call his own country. The flag of the stars and stripes is the only flag he can fight under and defend as his own flag. Now, in the time of bis nation's peril, lot every Irishman show that he is w'or thy to be a part 'of a great and gloriousnation alitY.-.Now, when the American flag is boin barded and struck down by traitors, let every Irishman show that. he is true to the flag which always protects him. I want every Irishman. who hears n e to enli i t • , two classes whom I most deapise,—eoWiards and traitors; and those who can enlist, and do not, are either one or the other."
