He desiredI to see Al. Gatigny, hut was told that that person, was in bedi, and could not then be spoken with. The domnestic was re6olute, and Fort, in con- sequence, attcked hnim, and repeatedly wounded him withi a razor. Al.

It is not known what could induce Fort to act this crimninal part. Ile appears to have fled, and by means of a false tale to have proctired a disguise.
