The matter was placed in the hands of the English Ambassador, and he describes what followed in a letter from Paris to the Secretary of State in England: "Rt. Honble. "Your honours letters dated the 7th March I received the 21 the same style by the Courrier sent to serve his Majesties writt upon the Lady Viscountesse Purbecke. They came to me about 11 of the clock in the Morning.
In 1836, after having written a number of poems which showed a weak sentimentality and a quite mannered emotion, she founded the Courrier Français, for which she wrote articles on the questions of the day—effusions which were written upon the spur of the moment and were very unreliable. Her dramas were hardly successful, although they were played by the great Rachel.
I have composed a symphony for the opening of the Concert Spirituel, which was performed with great applause on Corpus Christi day. I hear, too, that there is a notice of it in the "Courrier de l'Europe," and that it has given the greatest satisfaction. I was very nervous during the rehearsal, for in my life I never heard anything go so badly.
About the same date, "a deputation from the department of Gard expressly demands a sum of two hundred and fifty millions, as indemnity to the cultivator, for grain which it calls national property." Decree ordering the forced loan of a billion on the rich, May 20-25 Buchez et Roux, XXV., 156. Gorsas, "Courrier des Departements," No. for May I5, 1793. Cf.
The corporal came up, and with him a little group of French soldiers, their cheeks impoverished, their glassy eyes sunk in deep black hollows by their eternal vigil. "Officier Anglais!" "Courrier du Roi!" we exclaimed, and were sped on our way with a weary smile and "Bonjour! messieurs."
Her husband seated himself at a table in the corner, lighted a candle, and began to read the Courrier Francais. A good hour passed thus.

One incident of Cagliostro's English experience was the affair of the "Arsenical Pigs" a notice of which may be found in the "Public Advertiser," of London of September 3, 1786. A Frenchman named Morande, was at that time editing there a paper in his own language, entitled "Le Courrier de l'Europe," and lost no opportunity to denounce the Count as a humbug.

Having finished his breakfast, the Count leisurely betook himself to Broadway.
Three steamers, the "Normandie," the "Veloce," and the "Courrier," formed the expedition from Cherbourg to Havre, at which place they arrived on the evening of the 9th of December, and where the "Veloce" was replaced by the Seine steamer, having in tow one of the state-coasters, which was to fire the salute at the moment when the body was transferred into one of the vessels belonging to the Seine.
Andoche, who has a great deal of wit, he got it all out of the heads tiled by his father, he is in literature; he does the minor theatres in the 'Courrier des Spectacles. His father, an old dog chock-full of reasons for not liking wit, won't believe in it; impossible to make him see that mind can be sold, sells itself in fact: he won't believe in anything but the three-sixes.
