’ MORE ABOUT THE FRENCH F2AUDS. Another Interview with the Prisoners—In- teresting Statements—Great Excitement in ‘ France, d&ic., d&e. One of our reporters made snother visit to the French «prisoners arrested on suspitior ef being implicated in the extensive frand commited in France, of which we have , already given a detailed uccouot. Parot and his com- ‘panions protest against their illegal incarceration, but tender their thanks to Captain Leonard and assistants for “their kind attention, Ina conversation which Parot had “with Grelet, he repeated that he was merely an employé -of the company, and indignantly refuted the charge that he is & public officer; he was simply in the employ of a ¢ ‘Tailroad company, which is a prigate institution, He ad- emits that he bas speculated at the Exchange, but not ‘with the shares belonging to either the railroad company ~or the pubiic, but with the shares owned by Mr, Roths- + child, an explanation of which be has given to Mr. Tis- sandrie, the Inspector of the railroad, who has been sent for bim from France. Neither Mr. Tissandier nor the -administrators knew how the fraud had been “ -Qommitted. The company was no: accountable in the least for Mr. Rothscbild’s shares, as they ‘were voluntarily deposited by him, In fact, the majority 4-of the administrators did not kaow that such deposits ‘were made. He had no rec»ipis fur those shares that he deposited, and no proof could be adduced to show that such a deposit was mace; so that the employés whose ‘Dusiness it was to cut the coupons off those shares could, ‘with perfect impunity, assuro Mr Rothschild that there ¥ were but twenty or twenty-four thousand, if he was not able to prove the contrary to be the fact. Mr. Grelet said that the charge that they bad taken any money with "them was entirely false. Wien he left his native land bis ‘hopes were crushed, and he was led to the verge of de- @pair; and the resources which enabled him to make his ‘ight were tendered him by his intimate friends. If, he ‘argued, he had those large amounts in his possession ‘which be is charged with having, undoubtedly they } ‘would be found here; nor can it be said with justice that the money found upon him was ‘stolen, Mr. Grelet valso said that the amount of shares charged upon him is Mot so great as has beon stated. Other frauds have been ‘@ommitted by several parties which are now imputed to The prisoners are in good spirits, and express their con- fidenre in the justice of American laws, which punish only the guilty. The following is a copy of an affidavit made by Mr. ‘Tissandier:— AFFIDAVIT OF MR. TISSANDIER.

In all that I trans- mit to you about this aftair, I refrain from speakiug ot what would be of some use to the guilty and their accomplices, ‘The whole of the facts known constitute already a drama very shrewdly arranged, which the theatres of the Bou- levard will honor from the Gazette des Tribune, Carpentier, the principal cashier, had obtained leave of absence of four days to go to Lisieux for the ayowed object of courtip etrothed, a relative of Mr. P., one of our most celebrated financiers. His visit had beon announced to his future father-in-law. Not seeing his son-in-law arrive at the appo'nted day, he sent @ telo- graphic despatch to the father of Carpentier, as! for an explanation of the delay, and complaining’ of the con- duct of bis son towercs htmand his dauzbter. The father of Carpentier answered by telegraph that his son had loft Paris. He received a second despatsh (rom Lisieux, ani bot understanding anything of what was going on, he de- cided to go at once to that city. The unfortunate father not finding his son there, came back at once to Paris, ‘and it was be who gave the first intimation of the fraud. On the first of September Mr. Dailon, one of the admi- nistrators, asked for the principal cashier, but he was pot to be found. Grelet raid that Carpentier manitested his intention of visiting the baths of Dieppe, and that it was probable he had left for that place. Mr. Dallon requested Grelet to leave for Dieppo, if Carpentier did not return that day, and bring him back. Grelot left, and the same day he was followed by Carpentier, Grelet and brother, and three lady friends, anong whom was an atiache of a theatre. Witnout pe ge the ES took passage for Liverpool. The day before his pretended de. parture for Lisieux tier assembled his friends together, and gave them a supper, pretending that ho war going to be married, and saying that he wanted to finish his batchelor’s life gaily. The supper was given at Vachette, on the corner of the street of the Faubourg Montmartre, of levard Poissonniere, I cannot say that Carpentier 3 witty on this occasion, but the supper cost eight hundred francs The guests separated well eatised with the liberal entertainment provided by thetr host. Strict orders were given to the employers of tbe Northern Company not to speak about the affair. A man by the name of Poppy, who has been the sub-cashier of the Snancial nt, and yoyieg teller of the com- ny, Was arrested when he was embarking at Havre. Mr. ‘arot, who is said to be implicated im the affair, has also disappeared. On the day of Grelet’s departure the safe cont 814,000 francs in specie and bank bills. This sum remained untouched. The cash account was all right, and in accordance with the books. It will take at Jeast three moxths to learn the exact amount of tho om- bezziement. Two days ago a sharebolder of forty shares came to the office, aud the books showed that there was only ten in the cash account. Some people have taken shares in the Northern Railrcad, and have never seen them; that is to say, they had full conddence in the ad- ministration, for, on receiving their dividends they en- trusted the company with the care of making appropria- tions.
