.•i.•a a fricik and real ailoptinn. There it great
Sovereign, not less sensible of the nobleness of chi
t u•ter ay.(' the lov.ilte of sentiments, than of the re-
nown of talents :tmi•l the hope of the services which
h,• was likely to derive front them, was induced by
rtl these motives, anti by the union of all these atl-
‘..•itages, to bestow on him his particular favour.
It is vell lnotru iu what nianner the Duke tie
a,votereml this flattering kindness and this
liononealile confi•lence ; who has mot heard of the
WPM' of Odessa, n new and ia►lturtaut creation, due
ilk cares Intl his administrative talents?

Family alfairs, and doubtless also the wish to re-
si-it his native soil, a wish tv bleb can never be ex-
tongtoisheil in the heart of a Frenchman, broil hit
Lick the. Doke de Richelieu for a short time to
iit the first years of the tyranny of Bonaparte—
this intm, whom some lunatics have a second time
armed with a fatal power, that they might wrvalx
their vengeance against a nobility which now neither
poiewsses nor chino* any privilege, would have been
the partisvii and even the flatterer of the nobility,
if he hail (wind it more disposed to second his de-
,h,rit, to forget its ditties, and to forget what it held
sieved. Nolandy was inure dazzled than he by the
lustre of a great name : lie employed nil sorts a
eajoleries to detain the Duke de Richelieu in
France; but tine who could live under the pater-
nal laws of Alex miler, and who was loaded by the
firottr‘ 41,1. 41131 Priisee, COlll4l not 11C111 dreadioLt tlat
laws, and despising the favours of the tyrant of his
country, of the usurper of the throne of her Kliegs.
That throat. was at length miraculously re-csta-
'Wished; the Duke de Richelieu hastened to sent:
it, mid elaitned by two countries, one of which
alleges the servates which he has rendered, and the
other, those which she expects of Min, lie was 05
the 'toils* of deciding for France, when that unhal.py
re.tnee, fell a second time under the yoke of the
'usurper, and the cruel faction which prepared the
way to this utrneious crime. All the eyes, all the
hearts of 000 d Fienehintai etere directed towards
(111,,,t, whither the best sod the most maim tonate
of hiogs had 'tined it is well known that the
Duke de ltirheheu accoinpanied that Miner in his
adversity, and thenceforward he arm considered :is
one of the fit mest soppmts of the throne, the re-es-
tahlishinent of which was so ardently hoped and de-
*4(.4l. All the friends of the King and of his country ;
others niere4 ri jested the supposition under which
Ire could 1.14 g so ; but it was clear, that under this
supposition they had no objection to make against
such a choler. When people were disappointed in
their hope they refused for some time to believe it,
and still colitioneil to ask if the Duke de Richelieu
would wit be Mini-ter, long after certain evidence
attested that lie'would not tie. However die regret

The mere name of the Duke De Richelieu is a
hippy omen, and affords room fur the fondest
lioprs ; we well recollect from what a chaos a 'Alio,
liter of that illustrious f 'y extricated France,
with what splendour he surrounded, 141141 a Ilat
greatness I,w prepared for lire. Anti as if the st,l-
itsiraChni or the kindness of the Einiwrors of Russia
were tlestioed always to attach theinselvea to the
cilthrity of the persons of that name, whose harms
stud abilities bore rendered them eminently French
in two different periods of our Monarchy, it will
lie recant-rtes! that the most illustrious of Alex:n:-
41re* predecessors exclaimed, when beholding the
tomb of Cardinal 0 great man, if
thou oast will living. I would give thee one half of
soy empire to teach me to govern the other !"
