EVA. An Anecdote of the Paris Police Previously to the year 1789,but at what precise date I cannot say, the eity of Paris possessed'as guardian Of its safety. and chief minister of police, a wan of rate talent and integrity. At • the same peri• ud, the parish of St GeritiaiX, in the guar ter of the Rue St. Antoine. had fur its cure a kind, venerable old man, whose life was *rain dome gird to both the soul and bodies of his fellow creatures, and whose; holy cninsititency and dignified courage caused hint to beloved :by the good and respected by even the most mmudoued characters. One cold, dark winter's night the bell at the old oure's door was rung loudly, and he. although in bed; immediately 'tiro° and opened the dour, anticipating a suanuotis to some sick ordyinp, bed. A persoiraL•e, richly dressed, with his remoras partly concealed by a large false beard, stood outside. Addre,sing the cure in a.courreous and-graceful manner, he apologized for his unreasonable visit,' which, as he said, the high reputation of monsieur had ioduCed him to wake. "A great and terrible, but' necessary !and inevitable deed," he continued. "is to he done. Time presses ; a soul about to pass into eternity ithplores.your ministry. If you come you must allow your eyes to be bandaged, ask no questions and con sent to act simply as spiritual consoler of a dying woman.' If you refuse in aceoin: puny use, no other priest can be admitted, nod her spirit must pass alone . ", After a indolent of secret prayef, the cure answered, "I will go with yi.m.". without asking any further explanation, he allowed his eyes ibe'bindaged, and leaned on the arm of his suspicious visitor. They both l got into a coach, whose win dows wereiiintuediately covered, by wood en shutters, and then they drove oifrap. idly. Thy seemed to go a long way, and tuadeloxiany doublings and turnings ere the coach drays under a wide'arch way and stopped. MEE NSO)I Outing this time not . a single word had been exchanged between theAravelers, and ere they got out the stranger assured himself that the bandage over his cum pardon's eyes - had not been displaced, and then taking t h e old man . respectfully by the liarid, he as sis ted . bun to slight and to ascend the wide steps of a staircase as far as the second, story. .4. ; •great door .opened as if of itself, and several thickly. carpeted rooms were traversed in silence 'At length another door was opened by the guide, and thtreare felt his bandage removed. They were in a solemn-looking bed-chamber ; near a bed, half veiled by thick daMask small table. supporting; two wax lights, which feebly illuminated the cold, deathlike apart. meta. The stranger (he was the Duke 'de —) then bowing 'to the cure, led him toward the bed, drew back the cur tains, and said, in a eolenin tone— " Minister of God, before you is a wo man who has betrayed the blood of her ancestors, and *hose deem is irrevocably fixed. She knows on what conditions an interview with you has been granted her; she-knows te_that all. supplication .wonld. be Uselesa.: - You know your duty; Nt: le CUre ; I leave you to fulfill. q, and will return to seek you in half an hear." S. D.. KELLY So, saying he departed, , aud. the agitated priest saw on _a. bed_ a yeu,ng.anct beautiful girl, bathed in tears. battling with despair, and calling in her bitter ag ouy for the cutuforts of religion.

' , -i t . , i "My child," said he with a trembling voice, "what is this ?" "Father, at is a vin which they have already opened, a the bandage, no doubt was carelessly put on." At there wordsas ddett thoughtstruck the priest. dressing, He unr lied the al lowed the blood to fl w, steeped his hand lii - kerchief in it, then replaced the bandage, concealed the stained handkerchief with in fits vest, and whispered— . ' , Farewell, any dau jitter; take courage, and have conthituce an God." The half hour had expired, and , the step of his terrible conductor was heard approaching. "I am ready." said the cure, and hay in,g, allowed his eyes to be covered; he took the arm of the Duke de —, and lett the awful room, praying meanwhile with secret fervor. &rrived at the foot of the staircase, the old man suoceedeti without his guide's knowledge. iu slightly displacing the thick bandage so as to adant a partial ray of lamplight. Finding himself in ; the carriage gateway, he manag ed to stumble , and fall, with both hands forward toward a dark corner. The duke hastened to raise him, both resumed their places in the carriage, and after repassing threugh the same tortuous route, the cure was set down in safety at his own dour. Withott one moment . ' delay, he called his servant. "Pierre," he said, "arm yourself with a stick, and give we your support; I must instantly go to the minister of po lice." Soon . afterward the. official, gate lwas opened to admit the well known venera-ble pastor. • 9lonseigneur,".he said, addressing the minister, "a terrible deed will speedily be accomplished, if you are not in time to pr.( vent it. Let your agents visit be fore-day b.eak, every carriage gateway in Paris; in the inner angle of one of them. will be tout d a bh.cd stained handker chief. The blood is that of a young fe male, whose murder already begun, has been miraculously suspended. - Her tam dy have condemned the victim to have her veins opened one by one, and thus to perish t•hAirlY in expiation of a fault; al wady wore titan puaislied by her mortal acuity. Courage, my friend, you' have al ready some hour 47 May God assist you —I can only pray." That same morning, at eight o'clock, the minister of police entered the mire's, — I room. • "My friend," 'Said he, "I confess my inferiority, you are able to instruct me in expedients.' "Saved !" cried the old man, bursting into tears. "Saved," said the minister, "and res cued from the power of her cruel relations. But the next time: dear Abbe. that you want my assistance in a benevolent enter. prise,, I wish you would give me a little more time to accomplish it." Within, the next twenty-four hours, by an express under from the King, the Duke de and his accomplices were secret ly removed from Paris, and conveyed out of the kingdons. The young, woman received all the care which her preCarious state required ; and when sufficiently recovered, retired to a quiet country' village, where the royal protection assured her safety. It is scarcely needful to say, that next to per MXker, the cure of. St. Germais was the object of her deepest gratitude and filial Love During fifteen year's, the holy rean received from time to time; the expression of her aratdul affection; and at lehgth, when himself, from extreme old age,on the brink of the grave. he received the intelligence that she had departedin peace. • Never until then I-ad a word of this uiriterious adventure passed the good • - priest ' a lips. terA precocious youth l in 'a country town in this State, arrived , at the age of I nine years. when his father sent him to school.

When the present infamous and God-condemned rebellion broke out; Congress was not in session, and the occurrence of 'such a state of things nut having been seen in former times, no adequate legislation had been had to meet it. At the same time —the life of the - country being at stake —it appeared necessary that some means should be taken to control the small band of traitors in the loyal States, so as to prevent them from, machinations which might be iajurious:if not fatal, to thq na-- tional cause. Under these eircumatances, the General Governmqnt resorted to the system of military* arrests of daneerons persons, and haviog.thus commenced act ing under it, have continued (at long in tervals in this State) to pursue it., The Government of the United States acts di rectly on individuals, and the State Exe cutive has no authority or means to in terfere with arrests of citizens of the Unit ed States, Wade under the authority of that Government. E very citizen of Penn sylvania -is also h citizen of the United States, and owes allegiance to them, as well as (subject to the provisions of the Constitution of ths United States) he owes to Pennsylvania. , if be be unlaw fully deprived of his liberty his only re dress is to be : had, at the hands of the ju diciary,. In such times as the present, it is more than ever necessary to preserve regularity in official action. Great efforts have been, and are, perhaps, still being made, by persona blinded orrill . disposed, to throw us into a state of revolution; that is to say, to create anerohy and con fusion, and ultimately to bring about the destruction of life and property among na. Any irregular, much more illegal, interference by your executive, with mat ters which, by the Constitution, are not entrusted to his cognizance, and especial ify any such interference with the action of the executive of the-United States or with the functions of the judiciary, would be, in the existing, crisis, emphatically. dangerous, it would have a direct revoln tionary tendency—in . tact, it would be to commence a revolution. The courts, of justice are open, and, no doubt, all perk sooal wrong can be properly ;redressed in due course of law,( I do not know how many arrests of the kind heretofore referred to have been made in PennsylVania, as I have at no time been privy to the making of them, but 1 believe they have beenlfew. I was under the impression that there would be nu necessity for more of them, otherwise I might have referred, to them in my an nual message; but recent events have shown that this impression was erroneous, I deem it my duty.nuw to invite your at- I Mention to the subject. ' / The contest in ,which we are engaged is one for the preservation of 'our own lib erty and welfare. 'The traitora of the South bate the great body of our people, who are loyal, and hate and r bitterly de :spice the few who are ready for subwis skin. Unless the rebellion be effectually suppressed, we most lose our pride of, country, the larger pOrtion of our terri tory, and the elements not only -of great ness but of prosperity, and even of secu rity- to,life, liberty 'art' property.• Not withstanding all 'this, it is, I 'fear, an un doubted truth that u few wretches among Ili, false to our free and loyal traditions, false to the' memory of their fathers, and to the rights of their children; false to the country which has given thr birth and, protected them, on ly stopping, short of the technical ;offence of treason, in the very ruadnems of mischief are actively plotting to betray us, to poison and mis lead the minds of our people by treacher ous misrepreaentations, and to so aid and comfort the rebels that our 'fate may be cither to abandon the free-North and be come hangers on of , a Government found ed in treachery, frond, 'and insane ambi tion, or, at best, to . distrolvtithe Union under which we have prospered, and ,te break this great and glorious country in-, to fraements,_which will bo cursed by per petual discords at hotue, and by the con tempt and ill•usaee of foreign tuitions, from which we shall e be too weak to vin dicate ourselves. ' That sush offences should be'Attly pun ished no good citizen can doubt; and that proper legislation by Congress fa required fur that purpose, can , be as little doubted. Whether such legislation should include a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in any and what parts of the country, is a question which belongs, exclusively to the legislative authorities of the United States,' Who, under the. Constitution, bare the right to determine it. • The great .writ ought not to he iuspendsd,unleSs.to the wisdom of Congress. the prosent.ne cessity shall appear. ,to. be urgent! , • • Therefere, I recommend the passage of e' joint' cesoltition, , earnestly l'equesting that Congress shall forthwith pass laws defining and punishing offences of te; cliilas above referred to ) and providing for thio faiiind speedy trial by an impartial ju'y, of ;persons charged with such offen- Ce 4 in the loyal and s undisturbed States, so _pat the guilty may justly suffer and this innocent be relieved.
