Miss Vidal, in the month of August last, lodged at the hotel of N.'Bourg in the Rue de St. Germain, and happened, from some cause or other, to bo a little in arrear with her rent. On the Gth of that month M. Bqurg had to congratu late himself upon the termination of his anxiety in regard to it." for on that day he received a letter signed Casimer Rouvcre. The letter informed M. Bourg that M. Leo pold, who was the lover of Miss Vidal, "had died of his Wounds" at Clermont. He had, however, frovided for the dear child. His relatives, who had mourned at the foot of his death bed, had fully approved of the legacy he had made to the lovely and alTec tionate girl, ot yo.OOOf., which had been paid into the hands of a notary on her ac count. The writer was too grieved to announce the news to Sylvie,'but he begged M. Bourg to do so gradually. At the same time he told that gentleman he should come to Paris in a few days, pay the rent which' was owing by Sylvje, and at the same time, ac cording to Leopold's dying reouest, bring a silk gown and a shawl to Madame Bourg. This affectionate letter excited Monsieur Bourg very much, and bad the very same effect upon his wife1 when he showed it to her. Indeed, when phe came to the pass age about the silk gown and shawl she t-tittm -fched cascades -of-tears. ...... -,. of her lover's death to the innocent girl Capt. "Warem, in his report to the British Admiralty, relates the following: "In tho month of August, 1775, 1 was sailing about 77 degrees north latitude, when one morn ing, about a mile from my vessel, I saw tho sea entirely blocked up by ice. Nothing conld be seen, as far as the eye could reach, but mountains and peaks covered j with snow. The wind soon fell to a calm, and I remained for two days in the constant; expectation-of being crushed by that fright ful mass of ice which was before us entire ly broken up, and a large channel extend- ........ '. mi ing out oi eigne between its twosmcs. ino sun now shown out, and we sailed away from the northward before a slight breeze. Suddenly, wheu looking at the &idcs of tha icy channel, we saw the masts of a j ship; but what was still more surprising to U3. was the suigular manner in which its sails were placed, aud the dismantled appear ance of its spars and manoeuvres. ."It continued to sail on for sometimes then stopping by a block of ice, itj-ernain ed motionless. I could not resist Iny feel ings of curiosity. I got into my gig with some of my sailors, and went toward this strange vessel. " j "We saw, as we drew near, that it was very much damaged by the ice. Not a man was to be seen on the deck, which; w.i.s covered with snow. We - shouted, but im one replied. Before getting up the side, L looked through a port hole which was open, and saw a man seated before a table, upon which were all the necessary material for writing. Arrived on the deck, we opened the hatchway, and went down into tlm cabin; there we found the ship's clerk seat ed as we had before seen him through tho port-hole. But what were our terror and astonishment when we saw that it was a corpse, and that a greeh damp mould cov ered his cheeks and; forehead, and over his'cyes which were open! "He had a pen in his hand, and theshin'ai log lav before him. The last lines he haJ written were as follows: j "11th November, 1762. "It is now seventeen days since we were shut in the ice.
