A TRAGEDY IN FRANCE; An event has just oceurred in a small town in the department of the Tarn, which has struck the whole popblation with horror, and carried mourning and desolation into an amiable family. Mr., who waa married about three years since to a young snd charming wife, by whom he has two chil dren, had become jealous 6f one of his most intimate friends; this friend had however, a he supposed, succeeded in removing there suspicions from me mina oi mr. parity by nis strong expressions ot anor ienre of the baseness snd treachery imputed to him; and partly by making him the eon fiJeut of his deep attachment for a young Croole lady, a resident of the town. 1 hus the clouds which had begun to gather round the unhappy seemed to be dissipated, an I nothing announced the storm which was soon to burst in blood and horror over him and all within his sphere Mr.,, became suddenly again gloomy and morose his fliends (and they were, nu merous, from his many excellent qualities.) perceive J the change- with, regret and auii. el y j some of them begged him to make them the sharers' of his griefs, but his an swer s at first evasive, soon became threat ening and strange to such a degree that they begin to auspect insanity, and comraunica led their suspicions to the family. His wife, naturally alarmed at these eccentri cities, had already severaniines propossdld him l call .in a, ph J f iciin; buthe rejected these proposals, and he. m general so kino, so affectionate, so caressing, even repulsed his gendo companion with harshness. At Inst this conduct was carried so far. that after consultation with her father, the lady detet mined to send to Paris for a eel ebrated physician, and the friend who had been the first object of Mr. s jealousy undertook iho mission. In the meantime, the poor young wife, again likely to become a mother, supported with resignation those thousand indescribable nothing, which combined, go to form such a mass of suffer ing lor a woman ao loving, and heretofore so fondly Jave . and , h, wailed , with 411, concealed impatience for the arrival of the doctor. -When she presumed that the trat ellers must b hear at hand, ehs Went two er three times a day to "the"; i woodman'a hut. snuaicu in a smau wooa at a abort distance from the town, where it had been settled she wj to meet them, never suspecting mat, oy mis innocent proceeding, she was nxing in oer nusoanu s mind tne most a- troeiods calumnies. During all this time Mr. ' was becoming daily more feserv ed and gloomy, and had been heard to tit ter Words of dark and sinister ImoorL sod denl v a long cry of horror resounds through tne town, crowds of people are seen hur ryinK towards the wood, every mouth is en. J .i . fi i uncu wiui iNr newsoi some tei note event: it is said that Mr. had been found sash ed with wounds, and weltering in Lis own blood, and that of his wife and friend whom he had murdeie-i in a paroxysm 'of mad ness, snd afterwards committed suicide. The next day it became public thali be fore expiring, Mr had made the follow ing statement! That, (or a month past, he had been constantly receiving anonymous letters warning him that his wife betrayed him; lhat at-first hi attached no credit to them, but that having nbaerved the frequent resort of his wife to the wood, after the de parture of hia friend, which he now began to believe only pretended, his suspicions returned and be determined to watch her, snd that at last; whan he saw this friend arrive at tile rendezvous snd rush eagerly towards his wife his rage knew no bounds, With a single spring he threw himself be tween them .nd subbed them both to the heart, and aft-rwanls turned the dagger a gainst himself. All this took place in the sight of the strange physician, whose Cries alone saved, from his rage, his eldest child and its nuise, He had . scarcely finished this statement with a failing vice, when a young man pale and horror stricken, rush ed into the room. He said but these" words. I was mad with love for the young Creole ana noptng to excite her jealousy and thus eause oer ta partake my unhappy passion, I waa base end Jgh to descend to the abiect character of an anonymous calumniator. Oh, pardon me all you wh listen tome; snd above all, you whom I have so fatally a bused, and may my death serve as an ex ample to those wretches who make a dIsv ol anonymous slander!'- HeTell, end soon nothing wus heard In the room but the death rattle of the two dying men, at wai moment ute oucers of tne .taw enter I ed to uke possession of the gaittyi bat they had nothing before them but the corpses of the murderers and those of their victims. Courier dti Etata Unit PEI BANKS AGAIN ! The industry of the administration in distributing the public money amongst the friouf Sute b;mks,.hss excited, . the Jttpi cions of - a good iliahy of the Democracy that the Sub-Treasury is k be abandoned. The peculiar opinions lif the editor of the Union in relation to this suhj-et, together with his supposed influence with the Presi dent, have increased these apprehen sions. -These facta are exhibited in the foil jLi -.., " .

The banker depositee the stocks, but i fr ee ires interest on them The banker re eeives the deposites, and trades, and loans and discounts on them, of course he makes fine profits, for this piofilable use of them he paVs the Government nothing. The Only advantage Government derives is the keeping of it money, sometimes safely, sometimes unsafely. The anti-Bank and ant(-Pet Bank" por tion of the Democracy, are for a divorce of this meretricious connection, are determin ed bn the reiteration of the Sub-Treasury How stands the Wafainfcton Union! Cin ctnnattt Enrjuirer. Bide by side of the pet bank system, as a matter of course. Pet banks first, exche quer next, and lather than lose the print. ing of Congress, the "Napoleon among editorial Lilliputians, would amuse the pub lic with a series of non-committalism in fa vor of the SubTieastiry. The net bank organ can grind any sort of music if the consideration" is.su (fide r Per contra o all this, it is but fair to L quote from the Union of Wednesday, the fallowing intimations: "Among the. resolutions adopted by the Baltimore convention, was one in favor of the independent treasury. These resold tions have ever been regarded by the I'res- mem aa inuicaunir ine doiicv dv wntcn his adrainistrstiou should be governed. The independent treasury Was sustained by the vote of the President and of tlw8e1ceta iy,of tlie TjsMryar has on! confirmed the views then uken by both. The specie policy will be sustained in all its vigor; the coinage will be increas ed; the foreign gold coin, which does not circulate, will be converted as rapidly as possible into die half and quarter eagle; and all other proper menns will be used, (in cluding the recommendation of the indepen. denttreary,) to secure to the people sn abun dant supply of the constitutional Currency." We cannot withhold the observation, that this language, though apparently ex plicit, is very far from discovering the ac tual course which will be pursued with re gard Ui br-aVeasury-We jweiold that Mr. Polk and' Mr. Walker, are more than ever convinced of its necessity: but what they will do, after considering all the difficulties in the wy, is not revealed. The eagoe statement, that "the specie pol icy, will be sustained in all. its vigour,' means nothing. Will specie become the currency of the country, simply because the Government orders the foreign-gold com, wnicn comes into tne mints, o be eon verted into American hall and quarter eagles? The amonnt of specie in ciicula tioa, depends upon the mutations of trade. If we export more than we import, specie will flow in; if we import more than we ex port, it will flow out - no matter whether the ciin be foreign or not. The increase of the coinage wi'l not produce a specie currency! for specie obeys the fluctuation of commerce, as surely as wuter Is directed by the inequalities of the earth as it seeks the level of the sea. A flood only rushes to its dcstinstioii with the greater rapidity. If exchanges are against us, if we are in debted to Europer. specie will be sent to pay our debts. These attempts, proposed by the admin tau-atiooi to Control the curtency ..of the country, are as filse as they are idle. The Sub-Treasury has already been in effect and we know its operation. .It is Well known that the public money, instead of being placed in the vaults prepared for it, was deposited in banks, not pointed out by Congress, but selected at the wilt of the Sub-Treasurers. This will, inevitably, be the result of any Sub-Treasury which may be nsed hereafter. Now. we ask men. acquainted With the laws of trade, what will be the effect upon the currency! The banks ith which the money is deposited ill, of course, use it: tber will make lar ger issues in onseque,tee of having it; sad 1 aa it was under the old Slate Bank system, the paper circulation will be greatly increas ed. Thus, so fai from Iho producing a specie currency in the country, this Sub- treasury system will cause an undue ex pansion of the bank note circulation, tt wdl bean undue expansion, because the money is liable lobe withdrawn.. If it were permanently lodged with the banks, they would be justified in trading Upon it, and in regulating their circulation by it. We know by the sad experience we have al ready had, that although liable to have the money withdrawn, they will regard it as a part of their ordinary means, and that the fiaper circulation -will consequently be vast " y increased. Whe this will be the ne cessary, the foreseen, operation of theSub 1 reasuty, is it not worse than idle to tell the Country that the adminiatration will se cure to the people a constitutional curreri cy". by increasing the coinage, and stamp ing all the foreign coin it can get with our eagle and star! Such mirhiv schemes of State as these deserve derision rather tfcari argument.. Rich, 7Imes.
