• 'o •011. DE TALLEYRAND. ••••••mallpm.man• . _ (IFIOnI the rourrier Francais.) Tht fallowing eitracts from unpublished memoirs haft been eom. nurlicated to uss— The Constitution of 1791 had prohibited the Members of the Alarm t Constituante (chapter 2, section 4, article 2) to receive any place, gifts, rtnsions, salaries. or commissions from the Executive Power or its agouti during the whole duration of their functions, and for two yrars - after they had ceased to exercise the same. Th" Bishop of Autun took the oath to the Constitution and to this attith . However, NI. de Talleyrand wanted thee, as he did ever after. ward, employment, honours. and salaries, and he had then, as he still has. adecided predilection for the Embassy to England. The law was to 1w violated for his accommodation, but it would have been violated too openly if he had received the title of Ambassador. This was there. fort t -nrerred upon 'young courtier, awl; a man of elegant manners, *how. NI. de Talleyrand, who himself passes for such an exquisite judge (if men and things, and consummate diplomatist,supposed to beper. l keit)/ tractable. AI. de Chauvelin had therefore the title and the honour, oi t!... Embassy, whilst the mangement of the business devolved upon M. Itc Talleyrand, with a large salary attached to it. He took with him NI. Garet, a Nltanber of the French Academy. A lady of great wit observed on this occasion "This Embassy is a perfect opera—the worth by Garet, the airs by Chauvelin, and the plot and intrigues by Tall, yrand." But this was not the case, for farce had M. de Chauvelin landed, who was besides powerfully assisted by M. Reinhard, the fi rst Secretary of the Embassy, when he felt himself quite capable of managing the affairs of the Embassy himself, and ditto° accordingly. M. de Talley. rand did nothing. He was, however, soon released from so heavy a bardin by the events of the 10th of August—the forfeiture of the King, chi. establishment of the Republic, and the decree of the accusation launched against him by the national conventions, charging him with having betrayed—l know not what dutp—though he bad only violated his math. His anonymous commission to the English Ministry was annulled by the change of Government in France, at well as his aeden. tials as Ambassador. France no longer had any accredited agent in London at so impel'. tant and critical a time. Maret, now Duke of &nano, who exer t•ived then the functions of Director-General of the Foreign Ofliee, was Nem there. This agent entered into negociatione with Mr. Pitt to ac. knowledge the Republic. 31. de Talleyrand and M. de Chaavelin were' laying on their oars to await the event. When intelligence of Louis XV'•s. death arrived, 31. de Chauvelin *mired orders, towards the end of January 1703, to leave England. A !similar order was, in February, given to M. Maret, after an embargo had been laid on English ships m our ports, which was the signal of war. M. de Talleyrand remained quiet. Every day, about two o'clock, he was seen to leave his residence in Woodstock.street, proceed to. wards St. Paul, and slip into a large building in the neighbourhood where stock'. jobbing is :carried on, and where he exercised his talents in matters of finance. Exclusive of this place he went no where. But the British Government had not forgotten this personage, whose official intercourse with the Cabinet began and ended ni the month of March, 1793, by an order he received to leave the territory of the three king doms without delay. Be went to the United States, from whence t:c returned in 1796, when, on the proposition of Cheitier, the decree accusation launched against him by the Director was revoked-. It is remarkable enough that the four French Diplomatic Agents who met at London 38 years ago bad each a long and not inglorious career. One of the M. de Chauvelin, obtained a just celebrity in political as. semblies ; and the other three, Talleyrand, Basun°, and Reinhard, naveat various epochs filled the Foreign Department. It is not less 17 , 1rthy of remark, that these four public men, after surviving so many events, should meet at Paris under the nose of a Government v. Lich calls to its assistance experience, coupled with tried fidelity, that t!l, choice of the Ministry should have fallen on M. Talleyrand. MONSIEUR JACQUES LAFITTE. James Lafitte, the newly-elected President of the Freech Chamber of Deputies, was born at Bayonne, in 1768, of humble parents, and, being destined for commercial pursuits, he went to Paris at an early age. He was admitted into the house of Mews. Perregaux, the bankers, in tt , e capacity of book-keeper; and, after some time, he became partner with the son, on the death of the elder M. Perregaux. His diligence ar.d abilities soon promoted the prosperity of that flourishing concern, which now ranks with the first banking-houses of the capital. Hs um nominated, in 1613, Judge of the Tribunal of Commerce at Path; and, in April, 1814, he was appointed Governor of the Bank of Francs, by the Provisional Govenenent, is the room of Mr. Jaubert, who bad fol. lowed the Empress Marls Lads to Blois, on the entering of the ankle into France. He preserved this employment. without my remunera. tion for his services, tin 1890, "ben be vu removed by the Goverment of Louis XVIIL inconsequence of his being a friend of liberty. In the month of May, 181 he was elected, by the mercantile interest of of Paris, to the Chamber Representatives. On the second capituledon of Paris. in July, 1815, when the French Treasury was empty, and an. able to furnish the neaasary advances for the subsistence of the Preach army in its retreat beyond the Loire, the most painful consequence were dreaded from the non-fulfilment of the treaty, or the necessity of wjaring public credit by drawing supplies from the Bank. In this emergency M. Lafitte • tinny advanced from his private fortune the bum of 84,0001. and placed it in the hands of the Minister Mollies, and thus saved the metropolis from exactions and spoliation. In Ja nuary, 1816, he made a report on the Bank of Francs, remarkable for its perspicuity and precision, in which he proved that in spite of the warfare trouble, and confusion of 1816, the affairs of the Bank, though conducted in a city which was the head.quarters of hostile armies, was in a flourishing condition—its notes were preferred to gold—its aid was administered to the Government—it discounted to the amount of 9,000,0001. and secured to the pr op rietors of its stock a dividend of six two-fifths per cent. lit. Lane was after wards nominated to a commission in the Budget, sad by his financial talents contributed essentially to restore public credit in Fiance; and in the month of October, 1816, the Electoral Col lege of the department of the Seine chose him for their Representative in the Chamber of Deputies, where his liberal principles were the greatest support of the cote gauche and of commerce. Whilst that Le. gislative Body was occupied with important discussions on the revenue of France, M. Lafitte displayed his financial knowledge to the House of and might properly be styled the H u me of the French House of ▪ Commons. At the next general election, in 1817, he had a great majority in his favour, notwithst a ndin g the set exertions made by the Ministry to oust him, and to get a Representative of their own party for the capital, and has ever since held a seat in the Chamber. During the election of July last be was returned again as their Mem ber, notwithstanding all the influence of the Polignac Administration was aimed against all those Deputies who voted in the majority on the Budget question. Though a man of immense wealth, he is a warm friend to the principles of liberty and the freedom of the Press, which be most strenuously advocated in the Chamber, and showed the impolicy of the censorship in a free and commercial country as one of the most tyrannical weapons Ministers could hold. He was one of the first to protest against the Royal (or imbecile) ordinance of July hat, which caused the downfall of Charles X. and his oppressive Ministers. On the meeting of the Chamber after the accession of Louis Philippe I. to the throne, and the restoration of tranquillity, M. Lafitte was elected Pre. cadent of that legistalive body, and is considered the great support of the liberal and commercial interests in France. His daughter is mar. tied to the Prince of Moskva, eldest son of the ill-fated Marshal Ney, who war shot at Paris on the 7th December, 1813, conformable to the royal ordinance of Louis XVIII. on its restoration to the throne. M. Lafitte was banker to the late kniperor Napoleon, who, at his death at St. Helena, May 6, 1821, bequeathed a large sum of money, stated to have been placed in his bands, to procure drafts hi America, bar , which were never presented. These legacies he refused to pay, sod the subject is now before the Tribunal; the result is looked to with. the greatest interest in France. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. We extract the following interesting account of the severity practised against the editors of journals in Paris previous to the late revolution, from the Family Nagashu, an unpretending, but se original and enter. Laming a miscellany as at present issues from the periodical press of this country. The first article, entitled " The Slave Ship," has tempted us to apply our scissors to it for some time, but it proves too long to ex. tract, or to be cut down without injury. We recommend it, however. to the perusal of our readers, as containing some very novel delineations of scenes and characters : THE FRENCH TRIBUNALS AND THE PRESS. Our readers will have learned front the newspapers how large a share the violation of the liberty of the press by Charles IL and his ministers had in producing that astounding revolution which has once more burled the incorrigible elder branch of the Bourbons from the throne of France. The severity with which offences of the prom have been visited in that country has no doubt tended materially to embitter, the independent conductors of that formidable engine, and to array nearly its whole force against the authors of those damson messums. The following narrative of the proceedings in the recent case of an individual, written previously to the lute political changes, will sheer the English reader that there were not wanting pounds so justify this hostility. A young and inexperienced welter, named Foam, was awed is one of the minor journals which Wetly maintain themselves by their witty sallies and atrial mays on the ruling powers. In an unlucky moment he took it into his had to write a hamurous allegory, which he entitled " The Mad Sheep ." e As soon as the paper containing this al legory append, the Ki ng' s attorney ceased the sale to be by the police, and accused author Wan the tribunal, asserting th a t " The Mad Sheep" was meant to designate the King, and consequently that he bad Insulted the royal -wmo. The officers of the aown ought to be lens hasty in their Foom ; for it is a curious dratinsumes, that they are always the first to discover the mart meaning of such al halm, and to write a name beneath a nameless picture. When Be. ranger was ted, a few years since, on account of some poems, among whit there was an ironical song on the Carlovingian King Charles the dimple, the king's needed, without he:shades, that Charles the Simple meant Charles X. Whether such an scats& don produces a good effect, whether it would not be better, instead of displaying the acumen eta aide, to affect not to understand, nay, not even to suspect the allusion, I leave to the deddon of more comps tent judges. The writer so seamed seldom fail to deny the applkatiata altogether ; and more than once the defendant's counsel has answered the King's advocate in this manner " The explanation is yew work; my client maintains that be bad neither the King nor any other diode. guished personage in view." In sods a case methinks the best way would be to be content with this diaelehner of the writer's. The judges, however generally pursue s contrary course s to them the allusion is as clear as to the King's attorney, and they fill without mercy upon the poor author, whose lines would perhaps be noticed by but very few and soon be forgotten among the inundations of new works. Thus, too, the pollee court, the lowest and least enlightened of the tribunals of Parts, sentenced young Fontan to a heavy fine and five years' imprisonment. On appealing to the Cows royale be obtained not the slightest mitigation of this severe sentence : be has attacked the person of the King was the argument; he must not be spared. To safes five years' imprisonment for having written some indiscreet lines, which could not have met the eye of more than a ray small proportion of the population of the capital, was a terrible idea. Fontan fled to the Netherlands, and in vain applied to the government for a safe retreat. Forced to Ay from place to place, he at length returned to France. It is astonishing that he did not pursue his way to England or to America; perhaps be bad no prospect of a subsistence—but could he have fared worse there than in his own country I' No sooner was he again in France than the police pounced ups him, and he was shut up ad inter/es in one of the prisons in Paris. The young man had composed a tragedy, and as be could not attend the committee of the Odeon to reed it, the committee repaired to him in his prison to bear it read. It was highly approved, and the Committee re solved that it should be brought out immediately. When this circum stance was published in the newspapers, the labra-royable journals lit meiikti.ly strove to prevent its performing*. Nothing was more anal than such a fanatical paper as the Gesafe de Prow or the Drawee lime. It was may to anticipate that the public would take a warm in taest in the fate of the production of a persecuted young poet. If his tragedy had succeeded, writers of influence might hare been induced to obtain a mitigation of his punishment; but this the fanatical ultra journals determined to prevent. They maintained that it would be most indecorous to perform, in a theatre-royal, a tragedy written by a libeller I of the king, and that the government could not possibly mar such a scandal. The liberal papers certainly replied that the theatres royal, as they an called, are supported by the money of the nation, and that upon the same pretext the stage might be closed against a great number of poets. As, however, the people in authority were actuated by the some sentiments as the Gazette de Prow, the performance of Fontsn's tra. gedy was suspended, at least foe a time. There are indeed several other theatres besides those called theatres-royal, though they are all sup ported by the money of the people, and merely receive a gratuity from the government, or the court ; but the minor theatres are not allowed to p tragedies in verse: this is a privilege of the Theatre Franiais and the Odeon. Foam, therefore, bad no other chance than to metamorphose his tragedy into am e t: Tde. melo-drama, and to bring it out at one of the theatres of the For a young writer all these disappointments united would of them. selves bare been a sufficient punishment; but the people, who then possessed power, were ineconcileable enemies. They determined to revenge themselves upon Fontan for all the squibs against them with which the journal to which he was attached was continually emus log the public; in short, he was to suffer for all his colleagues. He became the victim of the same kind of resentment that was shown a few years since to another journalist, named Magallon. There is a law, by virtue of which such culprits as are sentenced to moreithan one year's imprisonment are kept to some kind of labour ; but no one ever thought of applying this law to authors sentenced by the courts to imprisonment. The ultra party, however, was alwas ingenious in its rev eng e; and thus it thought fit to cause poor Magalion to be conducted by two gens d'armes through the midst of Paris, manacled to a thief, to the house of correction at Poise'', and there put to hard labour. This when it was made public, excited universal n , briand, who was then minister, warmly inter einsttlijnlttself in behalf of his persecuted brother-autbor, and Magal. lon's lot was mitigated. This line of conduct does the authorities by which it is held irreparable injury in the public opinion. Me gallon himself returned to Paris with such a feeling of resentment, that he began to write again immediately in one of the journals against his persecutors, and with such vehemence, that be was once more brought before the tribunals, and he is now suffering a second imprisonment, not in the house of coerced= at Poise'', but in one of the prisons of the metropolis. Fontan was treated nearly In the same manner as Maggallon, with this difference, that, Instead of being led through the streets of Paris handcuffed to a thief, he was suffered to hire a fiacre to awry him to Poissy ; but when once he had arrived there he fared no better than other convicts. The system pursued in tepid to them has been eircumstandally detailed in the newspapers. As soon as they entre, they are obliged to strip; they are then scrubbed down, two and two, in a great bathing-tub, furnished with the convicts' dress, and conducted to the work-rooms, where they are set to work. At dinner they eat by fives out of one dish. At night they are locked into their dormitory, each of them having a kind of wooden crib, which is nailed against the wall and provided with a mattress, when they lie covered up to the neck in a suit, in whlth the, an tied by as awed' ant, and so left till months. Nothing revolts the more vied society in such a degree as treatment of this kind; and Weed the idea or lam lag to live for five years swam in such degradation, sad is sash tie. testable society, would be sesegh to drive a weikanumni yam mss pia et sentiments le Impair.

Poor Mootbel, to whim the Ministry of the Ince. rior was Ise great a burden, was loaded with the still more oppressive departments, finance, and was succeeded in his former post by the ob. noxious Pqronnet, whom all the journalists would gladly have sat to Poissy, bad it been in their power. From him nothing was to be hoped etches in behalf of young Fontan or for the prevention of the like abuse in similar eases; and the other ministers had something else to think of, namely, how to maintain themselves in their places: so that the fats of authors condemned to more than one year's im t, and of fences of a political kind, will probably be left at the discretion of the rulers of France, till an enlightened and liberal administration shall be called to the helm of affairs, and the criminal law so defective this point, shall be amended by a well disposed and tho roughlyi well informed Chamber of Deputies.
