PARIS, November 29.

The following remarkable letter is from Madame Dufaillant, sister of the late patriotic Mirabeau, to the Editor of the Moniteur Universel, a newspaper printed at Paris.

"You will be pleased, Mr. Editor, to insert in your paper my protest against a certain oath, asserting the insolvency of M. Mirabeau, and addressed to the legislative body. It is true, my brother left debts, and it is possible that his moveable estate may be insufficient to pay them: But all the seals are not yet taken off, and the petitioner, Mr. Frochot, who styles himself my brother's friend, and who is really the executor of his last will, ought to be informed, that M. Mirabeau was vested, in virtue of his marriage contract, with a large landed estate, no way involved at the time of his death, and in value far beyond the amount of all his debts. It has frequently been said in my hearing that "M. Mirabeau wanted nothing to establish his character as a great man, except a declaration of his insolvency." I wish to be informed, if those who have broached this sentiment would have dared to make use of such language to my brother in his life time? M. Frochot should keep to himself these strange ideas of morality, and learn in future to pay more respect to the duties of friendship, to confine himself to his duty as executor of my brother's will, and to know so much of law-process as not to take so important a step as he has done, without the consent and approbation of the Mirabeau family."
