found concealed in a house in the rue Haute
da Chateau, with the Count do Mortars, Mite,
do Kcrsnbioce.nnd M.Guibour. 'The house was
under search for several hours before h.'r retreat
was discovered,but nt last it Waa found that the

room behind, which firmed liie asylum of the
Dutches* nnd her companion*. Sho was im-
medintely conducted lo the Castle nf Nantes,
w Imre she w as detained under Ihe keeping of
the National Guards nnd the garrison troops.
It is said Hint the Government intended to ru

after opening the Session n hill w ill be presen

dy of Police Officers went lo the residence of
