It was in the year 1834 while the civil war be tween Don Carlos and Queen Isabel was raging j 1 j in Spain, that I was sent on a secret mission j by our government to that country. I had uot 1 loog received my appointment to the position i I have since held, end was not a little proud j of this proof of the confidence reposed in me. j There were many Fiench agents employed by j our government to watch and report upon the • j progress of affairs. These men, who passed ! i under assumed names, moved to and fro upon 1 various pretexts, never staying long at one | place, but were always kept in coraraunicarion with Paris by means of travelers, who, like myself, were from time to time deputed to meet them, as though accidently. You will ask why they did not communicate with our minister at Madrid. That might have laid them open to suspicion. But by the system adopted all dispatches or documents were dis pensed with, and the traveler who seemed to meet them casually at the hotel or in the dilli- gence, giving the pasarsign, received their in formation verbally, and carried it in his head as well as he could back again to Paris. soft embraces of mother earth. By a conver sation between two soldiers, of which I un derstood a word here and there, I gathered that a mcsienger had been dispatched to the headquarters of the Carlist chief for instruc tions as to roy treatment. Three weary days passed, and 1 began to feel nervously anxious as to my probable fate, when I was suddenly ordered to prepare myself for a journey, ar.d in an hour after was seated on a mule between two mounted soldiers with drawn sabres, and carried off I know not whither.

My name on this occasion was to be “Jean Brissot, agriculturalist,” the town of my birth being given as my (dace of resi dence. I was to be in search of a younger j brother who was supposed to have ventured : in one of the contending armies, but whose immediate return to France was required most i urgently, owing to the death of a near relative possessed of much veajth. My passport duly vised, set forth the necessary particulars. I need not tell you that before starting 1 care fully divested myself of everything that fiore traces of my real name and address. My clothes were all new, and my linen conspicu ously marked with my adopted designation ; not a scrap of paper or a note book of any kind could attest my real name or avocation. I was on the point of starting when a little note from my mother, containing just her bles sing and a prayer for my safety, was put into my hand. I was yet reading it whpn a sum mons cagje to attend the Minister to rpceiva his last ingtructiop$. The little note was crushed into ray breast pocket, aud there it lay unheeded if not forgotten. I had not long crossed the frontier when my troubl.es began. A party of the Carlist gueril las bad eetablislied themselves ou the road to Madrid, and no conveyance would venture for any money I could offer. So for a week, till the guerillas were dispersed or had chosen an other scene for their exploits, I was kept pris oner at the little frontier town of F -. At the same (lace was staying an old gen- [ tleman who entered warmly into roy professed ! object in visiting Spain, and gave me much good advice as to the avoidance of ifie many dangers to which an unwary traveler might be exposed. I was certain, he Raid, to be watch ed—efforts would be made everywhere to draw me into conversation on political affairs; but as I valued my life I must avoid all such temptations. At the end of a week, I accept ed the offer of a person who hired a convey ance for himself, to proceed another stage or two on my journey. While putting on my travelling coat, that for days past bad bung iu 1113- apartment, I recollected my mother’s note, but when I put my hand in my pocket to find it, lo! it was gone.

But there was no doubt that I was watched, j for surely, as the old gentleman had warned ! me, at no hotel did I stop but some communi cative personage sought to enljgbteq me on the state of public affairs, with the obvious purpose of extracting some opinion of my own thereon. I was so overwhelmed, however, with the fate of my lost brother, and so eager to discover that creature of imagination, that I had no time for political cpntrovprsy. So I avoided the snare thus daily set before me, meeting in my course two of the agents with whom I was to communicate, and by the appa rently accidental character of our interview, escaping detection, or, as I supposed, suspi cion. I reached Madrid, executed one or two official commissions there, and left again, in tending after a slight detour to return once more to Paris. On the third day after quitting the capital, provided with a pass from the commanding general that would protect me in my search while among the rpyal foreps, I eDr tered the diligence at the little town of S-, mv face once more turned homeward. There were three other passengers in the coach.— One was an English officer of the Spanish Le gion, summoned home suddenly and endeav- oripg to leave Spain by this route. The others had the appearance of military officers also but were evideutly Spaniards, aud sat wrapped up in their large cloaks ia perfect silence, as though desiring neither conversation nor re cognition. One or two stages were passed without any incident of importance. Night came on, but we were to travel through the night, so it caused no interruption to our journey. It was pitch dark, and I feared the upsetting of the crazy old diligence rather than any other ca tastrophe, when, just as we were crossing a bridge, the coach was suddenly brought to a stand by a loud command to the driver to stop. Then we were surrounded by armed men in uniform, bearing lanterns, the door and we were one and all peremptoril In an instant a secqnd soldiers led ofl the two Spaniards • Englishman and myself with a guard standing ! j over us on the bridge. In less than ten ipi^aj.es ' examine me, and I gave him niy ■ilwiv- I stor - v as substantially as 1 could, dwelling 3 ! again with emphasis oq my earnest longing to find the lost Francois. When I had answered along series of ques tions, the chief, v^riting away all the wh.le, apparently inattentive to the proceedings, sud denly looked up and ordered an aide to “bring in the Englishman.” I was surprised to see my late fellow-traveler immediately enter the room. Don Carlos deigned, however, to no tice him with, some degree of courtesy, and the Engjislftnan, with a frank, easy manner, returned his bow. Re t^as then questioned as to his knowledge of me but as . I bad told him the same story as I had just imparted my self, nothing of an incriminating character was obtained, and I began to hope tor the best. But, alas! my hopes were soon dashed rudely to pieces. As the questioning of the English man ended, an orderly’, booted and spurred and covered with dust, entered tlig pooty, and placed in the liap.ds of the chief a smail pack et. He opened it deliberately and glanced at tito contents, took up one paper and scanned it closely’. My heart beat violently, my knees shook under me, I felt sick and faint and— j must I confess it?—terribly frightened, for in i that small sheet I recognized my mother's ! parting letter. Don Carlos turned toward me, and a grim look passed over his dark face as he saw the fright which confessed to my knowledge of the fatal evidence against me.— “To be shot as a spy,” seemed to be written in his look, though for a few moments he said nothing. Remember that I had no better chance, even if I so far forgot my duty to my country as to confess my true character and errapd. The French Minister at Madrid would not have known me, and had reference been made to Paris, which was not possible, it was quite certain that, for peasons of policy, my business and connection igith the governmegt would have been disavowed. All this oc curred to me as the Don sat eyeing me with the letter in his hand. “You know this?” be said at last, holding out the tiny sheet of paper. I confessed frankly it was mine; a lie would not have availed anything, and I felt too near death for falsehood; “ Your business in Spain? tell it!” he ad ded, sternly. But I was silent. “ You are a spy,” he went on, “ or why this concealment ?” '' But by this time my courage had come back. “I have business—secret business,” I said, “but I cannot reveal it. My companion here knows that I was journeying peaceably enough on the h'gh road, and in a public conveyance, (citbogt any atfeir.pt qt pqccgalment, wheq wc were both captured.” The Don sat a moment in thought, then with “ Take him away,” turned to his writing, and I was led out of his presence. To my great satisfaction the Englishman, with whom I could converse slightly in his own tongue, was placed with me under guard. We conversed together as to our CQoditign and prospects, and lie pressed me closely to take him into iqy ponfidence. As his manner jjq- pressed me favgfahly, and he seemed to be better in favor than myself, I went so far as to avow a secret government mission, though carefully concealing particulars. He was summoned to the pressence of Don Carlos in the course of the day. On his re turn he told me that he had discovered that there existed a strong suspicion unfavorable to myself. “ Here,” said he, “you are traveling under a false name—your mother’s letter was ab- stracted by an agent of the Cailists, who was j employed to keep an eye on travelers coming • from France by that route—and your descrip tion bad been forwarded at once to headquar ters, though the letter itself bad been sent to another place, which you were expected to visit, and where you would certainly have been captured.
