After wading Mae line through the labyrinth of nunaoients depart ed grandeur.

She has tily rose en my tad den appearance, but. before she had time to conceal her face under Ihe amp'e folds of a 1ng black veil, which had been thrown over her ahoulders, I reconiaed the beautifal Countess K - , whntn 1 had frequent y met at ihe house of one of her rela tions. It then occurred to tny recol lection, that when about to be introduc ed to the Countess, my introdactor cautioned me agtinst ever mentioning in her presenre, the Dime ( Colonel S , with whom I had been formerly acquainted, and who, I well knew, hat) been an inlimate friend of her late hus band. I had forgotten to inquire into the motive of this caution, but not doubting now that it bore a connexion with the nb ject of this nocturnal excursion of the fair Countess, I could not repress ihe feeling of sympithy & curiosity which so romantics rencontre awakened. After apoloiiing to the Countess for interrupt in her in the exercise of duties appar enily of the most pious kind, I observed that her grief must be deep-rooted in deed to conJurt her hither alone ami at such an hour. We walked slowly togeth er for some mfoutrs, and the lady, seemingly touched with ihe sympathiz in;; tone in which I spoke to her, relat ed to me the following particulars: 'You were acquainted with Colonel S , and you know that he was my husband's bosom friend. They travelled together in Spain where my husband was taken ill and died. When he found that his dissolution would be the inevitable isue of his illness, he ad dressed a letter to me, in which he spoke of the affectionate attentions paid him by the Colonel during his sickness, and expressed a strong wish that I should look upon him as my future protector and friend; and, in fact, consent to become his wife. The Colonel return ed to Warsaw some months after I had become & widow. Deeply as I felt the loss of my husband, I could not help thinking of his lat wishes respecting his friend. You know how many of those qualities the Colonel poseased which make a favorable impression on our sex; compliance was, therefore, prompted by inclination as well as duty. An attachment soon took place between us; but the Colonel, from a feelin? of delicacy which my repeated entreaties cou4d not overcome, deferred becom in my husband until he had attained the rank of a goneral officer in the ar my, which my late husband had long held. He was entitled to speedy pio motion, and he had reason every day to expect that it should take place. The Grand Duke ConsUntire had al ways appeared his friend, and under such patronage, the road to military honors seemed to be opened to hiin. But his 1 tine figure, his well-known military merit, and the renown which his cavalry regiment had acquired for the accuracy ot its manoeuvres, had lat terly disposed the Grand Duke in a1 very eitterent manner towards mm. Envy attd hatred replaced every im pulse in his favor, for Constantine can never retain a kindly feeling for those whom he euspects of being looked upon as in any respect better than himself. A change in his manner towards the Colonel sijon became apparent, .'re qnently he would reprove him for en tertaining political sentiments which he denounced as incompatible with milita ry subordination; and. in a short time, sought every possible opportunity (0 humiliate bim. One day when the Grand Duke was on a parade, sur rounded by a numerous retinue of ge neral and other officers, he espied the Colonel at a distance, and perceiving that his uniform coat (owing to the heat) was unbuttoned, he called him up, and in that rough tone which is pe culiar to him when in anger, Constan tino asked the Colonel how he had dar ed To appear in his presence in disha bille. The Colonel observed, that not Constantine's rigorous exactions about a conformity with his whimisical regulations on the mode of wearing re gimentals, are among the peculiarities of his overbearing- temper, lie has fre- auently sent officers in arrest for the offence of leaving a single button out of its hole. , At the theatre of bt. feters burch. his principal occupation was to espy the officers of his own regiment of llulans; ana througn me means 01 his glass, he thought he perceived in some remote corner any ODe 01 tnem who was not bound op at all points in the strictest conformity with bis latest regulations, an aid decamp was in stantly despatched to the offender, with orders to place him immediately under arrest- The extreme littleness of mind implied by this petty mode of harrasaing and tormenting those around him Con stsntiner evidently inherited from his lather.

' Te submit to sutb a degrading outrage was mere than any man ef the Colonel's fine feeling ami high station in swriety could endure. Oo the fol lowing day I received this note from him,' liking a tip cf paper from her bMra, which I always carry about me. Hear i.s cnnltnts: f have been diahon' e'ed in the eyes of the wauls army, sod, therefore, am on longer worthy lo.be yours When you receive ihis" I shall have ceased lo exist. My own hand shall give me death, that it may not one day become lhat of a regicide.' 'In tint mound before you hia re mains now rest; I frequently come to give vent to my grief, and I am obliged to choose an hour at which i is least likely that I should meet with interrop lion, and with that annoyance by which! us tyrannical author would pretend to dry up my tears.' i l walked slowly with the Cuntess to her carriage, into which t handed her, after giving her my word lhat 1 should say nothing of my rencontre with her during my stay in Warsaw. ' Not many days after, I went to spend a ween at the seat of my friend the Count Stanislaus Potot.ky. One morning, as I was silting with him on a rustic seat funned round a magnificent cluster of poplars, which hail often 'had ed the late King of France, Louis XVIII, when in exile, we were conver sing on the prospects of Poland, under the existing mode in which its govern ment was conducted. If,' said the Count, "The Emperor Alexauder had not imposed his brother Constantine upon us as his representative, I dare say his intentions would have fcieen act ed upon in a very different spirit. But, under the fallacious promise of a liber al system, he has saddled us with an in tolerable burden. Corruption and ve. nality have become the principles of his government extortion, the abuse of his power espionage, the instigator of his tyrannical dis-wsition and violence, his mode of enforcing obedience and a substitute for national laws. In that Pavillioni at the extremity of the park, which you see from hence,' pointing at the same lime with his finger, 'there is at this moment a victim of the espionngt through which things are now managed among us.' On my expressingcuriosity to learn the particulars of (be case to which he alluded, he continued. U is a romantic epistle,' be said, 'but the consequences of it threaten to be of a tragic nature. About three months ago, the Grand Duke Constantine, whilst making, as is usual with him, the very superfluous diurnal inspection of the military posts of Warsaw, (for heeeems to act as if we were still exposed to the sudden irruptions of the Zaparog Cos sacks,) came to the northern gate, where the Sub Lieutenant, Count Weiiopol sky, commanded the piquet on duty. The young Count had quitted the corps degrude. for a few moments for the pur pose of buying a stamped (sheet of paper, uu which an petitions to tne uiand Duke were, according to his express command, always to be written. On finding him absent from his post, Con staniine wa seized with oneof those fits of rage lo which he ia subject, and in that most unpronitious temper did the poor sub lieutenant find him, when, af ter an absence, of only a few minutes he returned with the stamped she.fji. jjj his hand. IVot content with venting his anger in mere abuse, he struck lum e veral blows; and, on the poor fellow at tempting to excuse himself by an ex piaiiation 01 wnat naa caneunim awav only for a short time, the Grand Duke, who exaefs and expects the most nas sive obedience, and will never tolerate the least reply to his reproof, instantly ordered him to receive three hundred lashes m his presence Poor Welto- polsky lingered some days from the ef lects ot (Ins, brutal chastu.-ment. and died. Count , who was Colonel of the regiment to which Weliopolsky belong ed, and who wasalso related to him, felt so indignant at the outrageous proceed ing 01 uie urand Duke, that he waited on him to remonstrate aiainst it. and ask him jn what manner he intended to atone for the injury inflicted on the fa mily of the mnrderoii youth, through the violation of all military -laws and ihe national rignis 01 me roies. constan tine replied in his usual arrogant man ner, aud idiscussion arose in which the Count attempted to vindicate his coun try's rights by pointing at its laws. t ;To talk of, natiooal rights to Constantine is to ppear to him guilty of b'gh. uea son. Hie Count, was sent to prison, snd that he might remain in safer cus tody, he was given in charge 10 the mi litary governor of Warsaw, an old thorough-bred Muscovite general, who was as unbending in the execution of his masters comraands as ever padjt was to the irresistible power of a hundred horse iteam-ebgioe. There was a stone warehouse in a remote part of the court djoininz the house of the governor. In which he' tucked tip' his' prisoner) its winJows, though : only . two 'feet from the ground, were secured by strong iron btrt, sad th eId antral as tare that every tkir.g wit safe when, pftvtoetiy te withdrawing ts rrtt, l trailed hit pritnnee, and the locked the deer bin), self. .The key be toek with hint and plsvexV thee under hia rnllow for the night.

Ilia actual aituatrtin very naturally Inspired her with a great interest i his behalf, and, as they cwuld occasionally see and apeak lo each other, an attachment was eooii formed which became eimng oo each side. ' A rejafar t,orrespondeoce was estattih.d between thein,,snd it wae ultimately understood that if ike Colonel shnuhl be able to eotneout fdr a short lime unly, he would lead bene the aliar. la order-la hasten stf wish ed for an event, the young lady admit ted one of the general's daughters into the secrets ot her amours, and prevail ed on her to grant her assistance. The general was m the habit of going to bed at an early hour, end all his children came to dished side to wish him a good night. It was arranged (hat on one of hee orcBMonn, the governess s confi dante should so contrive as to take the key frem under the pillow. The pri soner was tliu released on his parole of returning agam in an hour, a priest was sent for al the houe of a friend, the nuniage was actually solemnized, the panic, returned to their abode, and the ky of the priton was deposited by the trusty connuante umier ner lener'i pillow before he awoke. , You would hardly believe- that the very next day the Grand Duke was mi nutely informed of all that had taken place. Hia rage knew no bound; when, according to daily practice, the Governor waited on him to recrive his commands, he did receive something, but, on this occasion, It was a severe caning administered by the Grand Dukes imperial hands! The Colonel wasj under a strong escort, sent to, the fortress of Zamnak, and his uufortunale bride was turned adrift by the irritated governor. My' wife, who. had. often seen her and had conceived a great re gard for her, induced her to come and stay with us, and offered her the use of the pavilion you see for any length of time she might feet disposed to be our neighbor. Some days ago she received the news of her father's deaths He was the French ex-director. Neufchateau, living in exile from France since the se cond restoration of the Hourbonsv He left some property, to which his daugh ter was sole heir; but, in order, t ob tain the enjoyment of it, her, husband's signatare to a power of attorney was required. . We advised her to petition the Grand Duke for permission to visit him, and, indeed, I drew up for her the draft f the petition,- in which k the grounds ot the prayer were clearly sta ted. She proceeded to the Grand Duke, to whom she was allowed to present it. After being made to wait some firoe in an aeeechamber, the Grand Duke brought her himself a sealed letter addressed 10 the governor of the fortress of Zamosk, which the poor wnmun supposed, to contain theorder petitioned for. Three days after she had proceeded .on the jurney she came back to us jn a frame of mind bordering on distraction.' It was with the utmost difficulty we could obtain from her some -account of what had happened. '' The Grand Duke's let ter," of which she had been made, the bearer, contained an order to put her hujhirjd, irx jronil - ..
