[From the I nglish Journal of Belles Letters ] THE FORGED BILL. One dull snowy morning in January, while sitting at breakfast in mv lodgings in •a dull stnei in LonSott. 1 received the fol low itignote: “ Dint Henn, I am confined io Led—very unwel!—come and see me mmedi.'itely. Yours alwavs, 'l'. Brotnely.” This was very laconic. 1 had seen Bromch a few nights before at the opera in high spirits, and apparently in good health; I was i .ther surprised, therefore, at the import oflhe card, but thinking that it might be some trilling indisposition, i fin i-heii ntv !ireak:’’s't ami newspaper befor> citing out io call. I found tttx-e'f shout mie "’< i n k a: his I'jdgings, ’.mil, on en ipf’iine ■(' the f.iotinaii'how his master was, I li-.Tim ’’ I”' l 1:, d In en confined to bed two days, pit- "asslin unable to rise. I entered the cii.;mL?G aTiiT‘li:VvdiiK sliuku... hand*, began to give the "ustomary conso lations, “hoped tlrat the illitewas tri fii'ig.” and so on; but after I had becom* familiar with the gloom of the apaitniei;*. w hich was darkened, and could distinguish objects properly, I was striii k with the change which had taken place in his eottn tenance. To be sine, there must always he a great diif recce in a mail’s appear ance w'htm he exi hanges the gnihiing of a fashionable exterior for the paraphernalia of a -irk bed ; but even after making al lowances f>r this, 1 thought that I discov ered symptoms of a sei ions maladt. The worst part of the affair was the utter pros tration of mind, w Licit he had experienced, tor he hardlx appeared to listen to what I ’ said; and on enquiring what physician he consulted, he an-wered. “ None ; it was of no use.” lof course tdd him of the mad- ! ness, the folly of this, and said “ I woujd bring Dr. B u kely with me al fouro’cloi k, though I hoped by thst time he would be better.” “To tell the truth,” said he, “ I un afraid to hear the srntence of a physi cian, for f» ar of having my suspicions con firmed ; but I dare say it is the best way to be resolved at once. Do bring him. Pray what day of the month is this fi rr> r” “ The sixth,” I am-weied. “ L it?” he exclaimed, with an earnestness that made me start. “ Harry, I must be Well by the twelfth.” I ti.hl him if there was anything I could do for him on th it particular day, 1 would doit with pleasure. “No, no, no !” he answered impatiently : “I must be out iny s-lf. What is to be done? You cannot imagine the horrid oece.sity tor my being out on that day, and 1 can’t tell you.” I tried to make him explain what he was so anxious about, but he was impatient <f the subjec t ; and seeing that I only irrita ted him by inquiries, 1 ceased to press them, and took tin lease. It was evening before I saw Dr. Barkely. The rain was pouring in torrents, nw lit was piteliy dark. We drove to Bron.eley’s, and 1 entered, the chamber along wit!) the d.ictor, who seat ing himself l.y the fir's de, put the usual medic.•! questions, fell his patient’s pulse, 1 wrote a pre.-cripito , and 'vas about to ti ovr <>f]'. “One moment, doctor, if you please. I shall l e obliged to you, if for once, you w II lay a-id your pr<>it ssional caution and speak out. What is the matter?” The d iet r hesitat d ; said at present he could not say with eettainly what was the matter; would call to morrow ; hoped it was only ! a cold ; recommended quietness ; and de- I sired him to keep his mind free from a larm, as probably there was not nnn h to I apprehend. Bco.-m ly was dissatisfied, but the doctor ■ would not speak out. I took my leave a- i long with him, and, on parting, enquired ■ if he feared any thing bad ; and though lie ’ gave me no explicit answer, I was s.iti-fied he eon.-ide ed tfie matter serious. He went to visit his patients, and I went to the,ope ra. In the glitter of the perlorfnattce 1 for got Bromely and his illness. /Another note next morning. It ran thus ; “ Dear H nry ,1 have t an a miserable night, ■nd mu wretched. Do come, and see me ; it will be a charity , &c.” The note was tiir l'y legible, ami had been written evi-j dintly in vii'b-nt agitation. In half an hour ■ after its receipt 1 was in his chamber. He j was looking miserably but seemed rrjon-ed ' when I cnti red. j “You must think tne very selfish' in | bothering you thus,’’said he; “ but if you ! know how miserable J am when alone, I am sure yon would not grudge me an hour of your society.” What coul.l I do? Os course I was o liiiged tn say, that if my presence gave him any satislai tion, I would remain with p casnre.—“No, no. no!” he answered quickly. “ I know very well no one would prefer being hen- to enjoying himself in Its! own way, Inn I shall m ee.J “f xoll r kr;,[. ni'Ss L i a;| ilia* ” * ~n; , , ' . , 1 .ri! to read to Inin, tie Red ; and accordingly, I wa* obliged to ke< p up a conversation which | was any thing but enlivening. The doctor called, ami havfttg ascertain- | ed the state of his patient, wrote another ' prescription, ami was aiicut to retire. I “ Pr iy sit down, doctor,” said Bromely, “ and <lo me a favour.” The doctor took a chair ami look' <1 at his watch, as mm h as to hint that his time was precious. “Oh, it will be your own fault if you are detain ed; doctor. Answer me.a very simple ques tion. lam deteruiined to know, and I have* a reason for it—if you will not tell me, 1 shall just call another physician, who may not be so si rupiilou: mil lin for afix er ?'' I'he doctor nodded assent. Bromely sank buk on his pillow at this confirmation ol : 'ns suspicions, ami was -ihmt lor some | lie seemed greatly ai'i'iiieii. “ II"W long,” I ••k.liu>t ne, “ How limit, doctor, may i 1 take to set nv up again ; that lu supposing I recover and he looked father wildly in iis save. “It is really impossible to say, Mr, Bromely.—At present. I can assure you, I have no idea, and the less yon 4>inkv about it the better.” “ But may Ibe out by the twelfth ?’’ “ Impossible,” answered'’ the doctor. I shall not soon forget the look the sick man gave when he received this laconic inswer. Impatience and despair seenied to agitate him fearfully. “Doctor Berke !y, come what may, you must and shall en able me to be tint on that day. I think I could walk now.” He made ‘an effort to raise himself in bed, but a sudden sickness came over him, and with a groan, his head again sought its pillow. “ Doctor,” said he, after a pause, “could you give me stu b a draught as would ena ble me to go out for an hour or two ? I care not hi.w much I suffer as to the conse quem e. I know,” continued be, “ you can prolong lit at times, though you cannot save it. Come, doctor, have you such a medicine ?” “ Mr. Bromely, this is foolish. Forgive 'm 1 , it i~ sinful, you must not think <>f going out. I can give you no such medicine as you ask. ror y our own safety, I advise you to composeyourself. Do not think of leavi g yonf bed.” Brome'y was suddenly silent, and seem ed to be i J’guged in painful reflection. The .doctor departed, promising to call in the evening. A considerable time elapsed before he broke silence ; and when he did so, I thought the tone of his voice had al tered considerably. His look was fierce: 1 I tho igiit the fever n d gone to his brain. “ Harry,” said he, “I don’t care for B rkely’s opinion; doctors have tneir creed and they must stick to it for the sake of eonsistem y. If disease be in my system • how can outward c'ucntnstames affect me?! What does it matter w hether 1 lie, or sit, or j walk ? Besides, I recollect an anecdote of; a soldier in retreat, who kept his saddle for : a wet k, and the m in bad a malignant fever on him. What is there, then, to hinder me, from going out for an hour ? Harrv, once for till, I must he out on the twelfth, and von most assist me.” “What is the meaning of this nonsensw?” I exclaimed impatiently, for I had almost lost my temper at his hat can there [ be which so imperiously demands vour pre- i sence at the risk, nay the certainty of your ■ death, being the consequence ? It isabstir<l | to talk <>f moving from your room; and I ! certainly shall not assist you in any such ■ mnd attempt.” I was fi ighttnei! at the expression of bis J cour.tep.ance. H* was generally an open-! heart'el and mo t kind being ; but his look was now dri adful to behold: and when he! spoke, though he trembled w ith passion, the ! words came slowly and distinctly. “ Hear tne, II >rry ; I am fixed in my re- ; solve to be out by the twelfth, and what is more, you shell assist me in that very mad attempt.” He laughed ; but such a laugh ! I was terrified. I thought he was in a state of raving madness. “ Well,” said I. with a view of soothing 1 him. “ we shall see bow you are on that day, and then—” He interrupted me. “Oh, yes; try and sooth me like a child ! Yes, we shall see on ! that day .” And lie was silent. D <vs roll'd on, and still the same wild de- j termination remained, ami every day only ! saw his resolution become stronger, if pos- ; sible. He laughed a-t bodily pain, and phi-; .l"sophi*ed upon it, made me read medical books upon lever and delirium, and reason ed upon them as abstract speculations; al ways ending' bv his fixed resolution to be out on the twelfth. Ft was on the evening of the eleventh that I was sitting with him. He was in a state of high excitement, and talked of going out to-morrow as a thing ol course, said I must go with him in a coach, and implored inv as sistance in terms which distressed me. 1 bad hitherto refrained from contradicting him, ns I thoeg’n the in itation caused by mv opposition made him worse, hut now I thought it was high time to tell him my mind, nnd did so. ’ rrpresetitsd to him as strong ly as possible the ma Im-ss, the impossibility of bis going out —nav more, that force was to be used to compel nim to remain in bed if he persisted in the attempt —ami tried by every means in my power to drsstiatle him from it. IL heard me with perfect qmet nes-, though with impatience. When 1 had finished, he made no answer, hut to tnv as tonishment, got out of bed, threw a dress ing gown about him, walk'd firmly across the romn, and, opening a drawer, took out a pair of dumb l;e!ls, and having exercised them in the usual way lor about a minute, put them back in their place, and returned to bed. “Every night,” said he, “since I have been ■ c nfined, I have done thi-; and as ’mng a- I can do it, no one ctm “ r rstiade me th it I cant uo Ont • „ (ir ; as for force,” continued !’,e, “look here 1” He opened a case which lay at the luu k of the bed, and produced a pair ofpisto|s, nodded significantly am! re placed them. It was in vain to remonstrate. I still, of course, th'mglit the necessity of his heingont existed only hi nl< imagination, ano I determ-itied to take serious measures for his confinement. At night I easily got pos-| session of the pi-tois. Next day I called as he had made me so lemnly promise to do. lie had discovered that the pistols had been taken away, and I ; expect' d a violent seine, which I was pre pi red fir. 1 was mistaken, however. Il lay a few minutes perfectly silent, and when he spoke, be did so slowly ami mildly. “Ilariy,” sain lie, “are you determined not to asrist me in going out to day, for hour or two ?” 1 s'lcok in) head. “When 1 assure y ou,” continued be, calm- I y, “th it my honor, and the honor ol my fa mily, depends upon it.” I was astonished at the calmness and firm ness with which he spoke, but I was deter mined not to give way. ! “Bromely,” said I, “once more for all, I to your death, and it & hlh? Io say another word about it,” * AA'Y 1 he, “I have no other alter I ati-iWi red in the affirmative. ‘,‘Come rear iiu^, 1, I approached the bed. rXeJinoved his lip two or three times, as if lie had eeen about to speak, but his tongue refused to perform its office ; a flush spn ad over his cheeks as lie turned himself on one arm, ami looking me steadfastly and sternly in the face, whispered, “Hairy, 1 have forged a bill!" 1 forget what exclamation I made. I sat down by the fire and was silent for some time. I knew that he was watching every motion, but I knew not what to say. I was tha kful that he spoke first, though bitterly. “Well,” said he, “you know all, and I suppose are thinking of a decent excuse to ! • hake me off. And the truth is, Harry, I though yon shouhl go this instant, I shall! not blame jioti.” “You wrong me,” said I, “but what on ; '•art!' could h-.ne of madness ?” “What could tempt me?

I was left in mi Horn viable state. A quarter of an hour passed away, and no tidings, another ; quarter had nearly been measured, w hen a ' servant came out and requested me to walk in. I was shown into a parlor, where Bromelv was lying on a sofa. IJis sister, Lady Dasldty, was fi a writing desk, and evidently dreadfully agitated ; there was no time for salutation; she advanced to meet “You know this dreadful business.

I Was in a dreadfnl state of sn-pense but it passed. I got the money, and drove at equal speed to the bank at which the bill was payable. I alighted, and for the first time hesitated. I was in a state of considerable agitation, and I must appear calm to prevent suspicion. Alter pausing a few mintites to recover myself, I walked calmly into the telling room of the bank, and asked as cool as possible for Mr. Denham’s bill. There wis nr. such bill. I recollected in git instant that it was due only on the mor row. I mentioned this, and added that it would be oblining if they could' take pay of th'- bill to day. My feelings ,must have betrayed me w hen I bad the fatal document in my hand, for the clerk did look suspi cion*. However, it was in my possession, ■'nd I was again at the coach in an ins.am.

I never witnessed such a relief to two human beings. It is impossible to record the Lilly’s thanks and Bromely’s gratitude.

THE CORSICAN'S REVENGE.

"This mode of satisfaction, nnd feelings ■ ’.it those in quest of it, are popularly known by! the word vendetta, ar reveiißC.] Toward the close of September, in the ' | last year c-f the last century, a foreigner, accompanied by bis wife and ini mt daugh-! ’ ter, stopped in front of the palace of the - !

Although the female seemed to devote her tention to her child, who was years of age, and whose long black she drew thr.onzli her fingers, not one the glances which her hitsimnd threw a roiiim escaped her notice. One Hime ft el ing, Imt not of love, appeared to unite them together, and to inspire their nitmts, gestures and thoughts by the anxiety. Mi.ery i 3, perhaps, the most tmw-BMq| erful bond of’ union.- The stranger had one of thosa marhi'd l eads, abounding with a forest hair, large and stern, which the CarrncbiM|w delighted to put tipan canvass ; but his rt ven-coltrrwtl locks wire plentifully varied with gray hairs, and his nul.de and haughty features were distorted by an unrelenting nnd cruel expres-i m. He was tall and athletic, notwithstanding his age was ahout I sixty. His t ittered clothes showed, that he ' had just arrived from a long and painful ! jourm’’. His wife was terr years younger, tier once lovely f ee seenied toVe faded bv Sor row and privation. Her attitude indicat ed that she was a prey to deep and hidden sorrow; but when her husband looked up on her, she made an effort to smile, and tried to assume a calm and undisturbed as pect. The ehil 1 was standing near her, rfllhongh her yotfng countenance, ern browned by the sun and weather, betrayed sympjonis of weakness ati'f fatigue. The tone of her features was decidedly Italian; large black eyes, beneath perfectly-arched eyebiows, native mJiility, at.d indefinable grace. More than one passer-by felt moved and interested at the sight of this group, the parties of w hich did not attempt to conceal the marks of despair which were as deep as its expression was sinople and evident. Blit the spring of that transient and fugitive feeling which Parisians give way to, was quickly dried up; fir as soon as the stran ger observed that he had become the ob ject of the marked attention of any loung er, he returned his gaze vviih so fierce a gl nee, that the most iutn pid and inquisi tive hurried on their way, :•» if they we#e walking among serpentr. Suddenly the tall foreigner passed hi 4 Land across his forehead, us if to chiie away the gloomy thoughts which had fur rowed it with wrinkles. He seemed to. nerve himself to some decided and des; (;• rate resolution. He turned a piercing look upon his wife and daughti r, drew from un der bls cloak a long poignard, which he handed to the woman. He then said ttf h. r in Italian, “ I am going to see whether the Bona partes will remember us.” So saying, he. moved with a slow and firm tread toward the entrance of the pa lace. He was stopped by a soldier of the Consular Guard, with whom the discus sion did not continue long, for perceiving the obstinacy with which the stranger per -isted in his design, the sentinel presented his bayonet to his breast, as a las’t and cniichis’ve argument. It so happened that the n lief was then going bis rounds, and the corpor ii very obligingly pointed out to the adventurer where the officer who C«tn in iiidi d ti e post was s'.atihned. - “ L -t Bmiaprtrte know that BartoTemeo di Pit mbo has something to say to him,” was ti e stranger’s address to the captain of the guard. It was iti vain that the officer took nt neb trouble to make the stranger understand that it was not the custom for the First Con sul to receive any body, unless an audi ence had been previously requested iu writing; he continued to insist that the 'aptain should go and inform Bonaparte ol his visit. The officer, after again explaining the rule of the service, po-itively declined attending to the wish of the pertinacious intruder. Upon this, Bar tolomeo knit his eyebrows together in such a manner as to make them meet, mid cast an awful frown upon the captain, as if t<» make him responsible for any untoWani event which might’happen in consequeno of his refusal,. He did not utter nnotlitr word, but crossed his arms fiercely upon his breast, rnd posted himself beneath the portico, which serves as a communication between the court yard and the garden of the Tuilieriis. Persons who have energetically mails np their minds to a thing, are frequently admirably seconded by accident in its n?- complishment. At the moment when Bar tolomeo seated himself upon one of the stone posts which are at the entrance of ti e palaee, n carri oje drove up from w hich Lucien BnH 'parte, then Minister of the Interior, alighted. “ Ab, Lucien,” cried the stranger, “Bar tolomeo is very lucky to meet you.” These words, pronounced in the Corsi can patois, caused Lucien to stop, as hr was hurrying under the dom-*. He locked at Bartolomeo, ami instantly recognised him ; the latter wbi. percd into his ear, Lu ; ciett nodded to tlv sentinel, anti they then l 'ocemled to the First Consul’s apartment, j They went : s far as the closet without [stopping. Murat, Lannes, and Rapp were ! there. When they saw Li .e'en come in, ! accompanied by so odu looking a person, i their conversation ceased. Lucien took INa ).de 'it’s hand, ami led him to the w'm ! dow ; after a few moment’s conversation, the First Consul waved his hand, and Mu- -» rat anil Lannes immediately withdrew. Ripp |ir< tended nol to notice it, mid stay ed behind. Bonaparte cal ed to him sharp ly, ami the aid-de-camp went into the ad- ■ ! joining room grumbling.
