AN IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION.
Some time after this military revolution, which created a great stir in Europe, convulsing the Continent for a time, as a tempest convulses the ocean--some time after, we say, on the morning of the 30th Nivoise, better and more clearly known to our readers as the 20th of January, 1800, Roland, in looking over the voluminous correspondence which his new office entailed upon him, found, among fifty other letters asking for an audience, the following: MONSIEUR THE GOVERNOR-I know your loyalty to your word, and you will see that I rely on it.

I wish to speak to you for five minutes, during which I must remain masked.
I have a request to make to you.

This request you will grant or deny.

In either case, as I shall have entered the Palace of the Luxembourg in the interest oL the First Consul, Bonaparte, and the royalist party to which I belong, I shall ask for your word of honor that I be allowed to leave it as freely as you allow me to enter.
If to-morrow, at seven in the evening, I see a solitary light in the window over the clock, I shall know that Colonel Roland de Montrevel has pledged me his word of honor, and I shall boldly present myself at the little door of the left wing of the palace, opening on the garden.
