MABEL: THE LITTLE FOUNDLING. A DOMESTIC STORY. BT MISS WARV W. JANVIliX. -CHAPTER IV. The cold, dreary, stormy, December day u drawing to a f lose, when the stage-coach drew up to the only inn of the little village of Weston, rorjc twenty miles distant from Red field. There were but few passengers a young man, two wuineu an 1 the fourth, a dark, foreign looking man, of apparently thirty five or forty ears, closely muflled iu the folds of a large travelling cloak he wore. Aa the Mage drew nesr the door, with a smart crack of the whip from the driver, and a fresh gush of music IV m the bells of the Conning horses, the bustling landlord with ruddy face and penial smile came forth upou the porch to welcome his guests. The young man immediately entered the bar-room, where he joiued the group of rude, stalwart farmers, who had gathered bout tho fire, and were discussing the news of the day, and drinking off huge mugs of cider, or, nt the bar, elyly tossing off glas ses of some stronger beverage. The two women were ushered into a pleasant parlor, with sanded floor, pictures on the walls, and a cheerful, ruddy tire. Rut the tall, dark stranger lingered in the entrance, aud iu a voice by no means harsh, but yet ubrupt, and with a slightly foreign accent, asked the laudlord for a private apartment. " This way ; here sir, walk right up stairs room all warmed, and at your service," said the obsequious host, bowing and pre ceding hie guest up the staircase, leading the way to a large pleasantly lighted cham ber. " Supper, sir ! Re ready in half an hour," queried tba landlord, aud, receiving an af firmative nod from the stranger, made his exit from the room. Hardly bad the landlord left the apart ment, wheu its occupant, starting up from the chair before (lie blazing hearth into which he had thrown himself upon entering, divested himself from his ample cloak, and with a nervous, excited step and air began paciug tho floor. i He was tall and thin in stature, yet of elegant aud graceful form, with dark rest less eyes, shaded by dense eye-brows of ra veiiblsekness, as was also the hue of his short close curls which timo had not yet threaded with silver features, which, still handsome, iu younger days must have been j eminently so, before foreign airs nud tropical suns had given them thu dark tint they now j wore; but there was a sad, weary aze in j his dark eyes, and the thin, delicately curv ed lips grew tremulous aa with emotion. All traco of quiet was gone, and his hith erto passive and immobile features grew strangely agitated, as with unuvcu steps be strode to aud fro. " Ouce more," be muttered, " once more, after long years of exile, in my own birth place lloif tbe sixteen loug weary years of misery havnbeen eating into my heart how have theso sixteen years of remorse been driving me mad t And at last, too terri'.do to be borne far more terrible than the fear of iiuprifOLiucut for that alleged ctimc, of wLii-b, tlinnk GodI arti iiinorent ! mid was no injured at a Lonc-mcc that be t!ie ofiiccrj leued me at a murderer, and I hiii litr onco again, trilhi tardy justice, died two das alter if. was only t lieu, at dragged me away to the felon' cell.

It had been previously reported that such letter bad been written, but its cii-tenco was afterwards denied. Rut here is tho letter : Pa lack or the Tl'ji.eriks, Jan 29, 11 .54. S'f The difference which has arisen between your Jlajesty and the Ottoman. Porte lias assumed such a grave a-ect, that I think it right myself to explain directly tu your Majesty tho part which Prance has taken iu this question aud the means which suggest themselves to mo iu order to avoid the danger- which menace, the tiauquility of Europe. The note which your. Majesty lia ju-t Sent to my government, and t that of Queen Victoria, endeavors to prove that it was tho system of pressure edopted from the com mencement by the two maritime Powers which alone involved the qut.-tioii in bitter ness. Ou the contrary, according to my view, the matter would have continued a. cabinet question if the occupation of the two l'riiieipa, 'ies had not suddenly trans ferred it liu in the region of discussion to that of fat I. Nevertheless., although your Jlaje.-ty's troops has entered Yallachia,wu advised tl.e Peile not to consider that oc cupiit,.,u as a warlike act, thus proving; ci.r txtr. me de-ire for conciliation. After I had consulted with England, Austria, and Piiis-iii. I proposed to your Jlajo.-ty a note, desigm.-il lo give satisfaction to ail. Yoa Majesty accepted it. We hu l hardly, how ever, been informed of this good news, when your Minister, by explanatory com mentaries, de-troyed all the conciliatory cf ftetsof it, and ti ns prevented us from in sisting at Constat. tinaple upon its puro and simple ad. liou. 'ihe Forte, for its own pan, sii.'g. -'ed soi.,0 i:. .ilitutiji j ;,. li.o note, to which the representatives of the four Powers at Vienna were not indisposed to pgree. They were not, however, agreed to by your Jlajesty. It was then that the. Porte, wuuuded iu its dignity, its indepen dence I l.n ateiied, and I cing con pelicd to raise an anny lo upporc that of your Ma-je.-ty, preferred to declare war rather than remain in astate of uncertain! v and humili ty, i i.c Porte had c-jaiuicd our support ; the cause of th ; Forte appeared to us to bo aj.i-t one, a nl the English and French squadruus were therefore ordered to the llo-phoi us. (ii.r ;.;;'( i. Ie iu rererei.ee I) Turkey was tint el' u. prjtectar, bat it w as p:isive. Wo did not incite her to war. We iim-ea-ingly addressed to the tars ot the Sullau the ad vice ni peace and nio leratiou, persuaded that this was the best way of coming to an agi eeu.t. nt, and the four Powers consulted together again, and submitted to your Ma jesty some other piopos.iiie.ns. S'our Jla jesty, u.i your part, exhibiting the ctim-uc-s which aii.-es from tne euncio'j-lies of streu.tb, contented yourself with repulsing from tli.; left bank of tho D.iuube, a." in Asia, tiio attacks of the Turks; and, vvit'.i the uiotlcratKiti Worthy of the chcif of a great empire, your Jtaj -sty d clared that you would act ou tho defensive. Up to that pctiod, theu, we were, I may say, iu-t.-rcst.-d speetatois, but simply spectators of the ili.-pute, v.heir the affair of Sinopo com pelled us to taLo a more decisi.e part. France and England had not thought it necessary to send troops to the assistance of Turkey. Their iiag, therefore, were riot engaged in the coutiicts which took place upon land. Uut at sea it was very diller cut. There v.ere ut the entrance of tho lio-plioruj ! .(Hi gun-, the existence cf which juotlaiuiod loudly enough to Turkey that the two lea ling maritime Powers would not ailovv he r to be attacked by sea. The af fair at S-iuupe was for us as painful as it was mie'xpteted ; for it matters little to u whether or not the Turks wished to con vey munitions of war t3 the Russian terri tory. In fact, Russiau ships attacked Turk ish vessels iu the waters of Turkey whilu those vessels were riding quietly at anchor in a Turkish port. The Turkish vessels were dc.-trovi-il, in spite uf the assurance that there was no wish to commence t ag gress:, e war, and in spire of the- vicinity of our son n' rous. "I U w as no longe r our policy which received a check, it was our military honor. The sound of the cannon shot atti nope reverberated paiufully in the hearts of those who iu England and iu France respect ualioual dignity. T here was a general par ticipation in the sentiment that wherever our caution cau reach our allies ought to be re.specteei. ( ut ot this feeling arose the or der giv.'U to our squadrons to enter the R.ack Sea. and to prevent by force, if neces sary, the recurrence of a similar event. Thence arose the collective notiUeatiou sent to I tie c.ibiuct of St. l tersburg;, auuoune ing that if we prevented the 'Turk, from making an aggressive war upon the coasts of l.ussia, we would also protect the Turks upon the ir own territory. As to the Rus sian Sett, lu pioLl! iling its n-iviitioii of tne Liiat p: Sea, we placed it upoa adiuVreul couditic'i, because il was importaut during the war to preserve a guarantee equivalent iu forte to the occupation of the Turkish territory, and thus facilitate the conclusion of peace by having the power of making desirable- exchange. Such, sire, i; tne real result and a state ment uf the facts. It is clear that, having ai ined at i hi- p iint.iliey must cituer hnug abo it a definite understanding or a decided rapture. oi.r Majesty has given so many pio.ifs of your solicitude for the tranquility uf Fur"..., nnd by your Fcuiticeiit infljeneo has so powerfully arreted the spirit of dis order, that f cm not doubt as to the course, yo i will t ilo- in the alternative which pre--Hi !s it-, If lo oer ch .ice.
