A few days since, after a long and painful illness, the Princess Charlotte of ROHAN Rochefort. “The life of this admirable woman,” says the Siecle, in noticing the event, “was marked with a cruel fatality. Belonging by birth to one of the most ancient noble families of France, she was, when young, married to the unfortunate Duke d’Enghein; but this union, though the result of mutual affection, did not obtain the sanction of the Duke de Bourbon, and consequently the Princess never publicly bore the name of her illustrious husband. It has been stated that, after the execution of the Duke d’Enghien at Vincennes, his father offered to confirm the marriage, and thus render the Princess heiress of the immense wealth of the house of Conde; but the Princess, with greatness of mind, refused to accept the fortune of the man whose name she had not been allowed to bear.”

In the prison of Ghent, on the 3rd inst., aged 80, Pierre Joseph SOETE, after a captivity of 63 years! At the age of seventeen he was condemned, for the murder of a young girl, to be broken on the wheel; but the Empress Maria Theresa, at the solicitation of the Societe de Saint George, at Ghent, commuted his punishment to that of perpetual imprisonment. In 1814, after 36 years spent in prison, Count BICHALOFF, hetman of the Cossacks, then quartered at Ghent, released SOETE; but finding himself without kindred, friends, or the means of living, he begged to return to confinement, and in the dreary asylum of the Rasp-huis (prison) he passed 27 years more, till death released him.
