Out of breath,, moved by an irre pressible feeling, M. de Boissieux ran to the dwelling of the grave-dig- gor, and begged him to explain what he knew of the burial of Mde. de Boissieux.

He begged M. d’Argenson to spare no pains in tracing eveiy move mont of the parties—not doubting, he said, that the lady was his own wife, whom he resolved to reclaim. The preliminary measures having been taken, the President entered a regular complaint against De Garan, demanding that, notwithstanding the second marriage of his wife, she should >be required to resume her station in his family. At the same time, he used the utmost diligence in collecting evidence bearing upon tho fact.

It was in vain that tho President do Boissieux and his no less oloqnont counsel called for precise details, in sisted upon indubitable evidenco and irrefragable coincidences; in vain that they proved that de Garan had arrived in Paris on tho very day of the lady’s burial; had left the city the same night, without bidding faro well to his mother, or asking her blessing, though there was strong probability of his never seeing her again; in vain that they showed that ho took a by-road to Brest, in a haste that would set fire to his axle- trees; that he took with him a veiled lady in a state of insensibility, and that he took passago with her, under an assumed name, in a merchant ship, in contempt of his rank dnd duty. M. de Boissieux brought forth the testimony of the most emi nent of the faculty respecting many cases where lethargy had continued known how to keep. Such a decision was, of course, out of tho question. Tho marriago of Madame de Garan at Pondichorry was pronounced null and void; and she was ordered to return to the house of her lawful husband. On the same day the lady, who had re gained her own name, but would not, nevertheless, relinquish that of de Garan, implored permission of the King to retire to the Carpiclite con vent, or any other ho might select. The request was inadmissible, and sho was directed to conform to the sentence of the Parliament within twenty-four hours. ***** At six o’clock that evening Mad ame do Boissieux was announced to her husband, his friends and rela tions, whom he had assembled to receive her.
