London. . . Sept. 2.  By a gentleman just arrived from St.
Brieux in Britanny, we are informed, that the celebrated
dramatic author, who lately absconded for a detestable
attempt, was found dead near Doi, by the monks of a
monastery near that place.  A considerable sum of money
found upon him, became the property of the holy fathers.  It
was said, that he had poisoned himself, and that some
writings found caused the discovery.
