riite to oppose not only

against the proceeding to the ..Prefect. Finding
that though he demonsti ; 11e innocence of the
inhabitants, he could obtain' nothing, he said—
,. Well, since there toast lee victiths, my hamlet

by this act of dProteiltiess, the subaltern tyrant
blushed, and granted, though not without some

A letter has recently been communicated to us,
timed lath June, 1780, written by the Widow Bo-
tiaparte to the Count de Brienne, Minister of War,
requesting hint to grunt to her foorth.son (Louis)
a place in a Royal Military Academy. This Ludy,
%%hose fecundity has prnved•so fatal to Fratce, men-
tioha her numerous hunilyi consisting of eight
children, her quality of widow of a Esau who had
always failltfully served his. King, and finally, the
conduct of her second scii (Napoleon), who was
inlinitted in 1778 to the academy of Brieime, and
had shared the kindness of' the King, and placed
himself in a situation to serve him. She calls to
milli' that M. Bonaparte, her husband, had, five
years previously, brought to Paris her third son
(Joseph), in the- hop a that he Might obtain at
Brienne the place of his brother Napoleon, rho was
on, the point of quitting it ; but that this hope had
keen frustrahll, and the child WS Still a charge on
his parents. She romplaisis of Not having the
.ttraiis of many children as education
suited to their rank, and expresses regret at being
unable to plure them in situations in which they
might terra' his .11:tiesty. She finishes by prostrating
herself at the foal of the throne, and promising to
M. Brientie that eight pupils shall be the organs of
the pi-or-1-s which she wiN ;Iddress to Heaven fur
the King's preserration. Such is the faithful ana-
lysis of ibis letter, which gives rise to more than
one reflection. It is a curious spectacle to observe
at the foot of the throne of the Bourbons, the mo-
ther of him who was destined insolently to take pos-
session of it ; to see her imploring the bounty of the
King for nue of her sons, and boasting of the bene-
fits she had already obtained for another, for one
who shortly became the most furious enemy of Inv
Iwnefactor, who shared Isis inheritance, sliest the
blood of one of his funnily, dethroned two others,
and who, to complete his c r s against Isis august
family, lately endeavoured to wrest the sceptre from
the hunchs of the legitimate Monarch, to whom Eu-
rope mid France had restored it.

The change of Ministry, and the choice of Mi.:
eisters, which, in general, exhibit to idle spectators,
or indifferent people, nothing but a game:qr.
between several competitors, each of whom
strives to get the better of his rival, and to supplant.
them, is now the first, the greats the only object of
public attention.
All France, which in the disastrous eircotitstanciat
which weigh her down, considered, wad wotad
more and more consider it as her greatest misfur-
-tune, to have Ministers. to whom she thinks thei
she ought not to give her confidence, ti/ieS•her at-
tentive eyes on the nominations, mem which depend,
in a great measure, the alleviation and repinatioli
of her woes end her future destiniesi. Europe,
which must be more sensible than ever that her hap-
piness and tranquillity are connected with the frin-
ge:ll4y and happinets of France, lifeewise content-
plutes these lioiprinations, end measures.the
of tiontitfence wee which they inspire us. The ors=
jects of universal attention, the two sAections
ready known, hare also gained tiniversl eppiolci-
tion. The talents, and above all the general fide-
lity and unbounded attachment of the Duke of
Feltre, haVe obtained line the suffrages of aW4he
friends of the King iterfeountry, and even impoeed
silence on others ; and France and Europe, equally
attentive, have alike applauded the nominstiou of
the duke of lt,clittlien to the department of Fu-.
reign Affairs and the presidency of the CounCil.
This assertion, which might appear exiiggerated,
and even emphatic, if it related to stay other per.:
son, is but just and true, in regard to the Duke
of Richelieu. Europe amid France know him ; the
nobleness of his character—the renown of the este-.
blishments created by him—the services which he
has rendered to a great empire—and the fluttering
gratitude and magnificieist rewards of a limpt.;
nimoue Sovereign, are matters of getieral notoriety.
His is not a reputation of yesterday ; it preceded, in
regard to the Duke of Richelieu. the age at which
people in general acquire a reputation.
After the example of those ancient French
chevaliers, born fur arms end glory, and whs, when
unable to gratify that nokle ambition in a coun-
try wlkh was enjoying the sweets of peace, went to
offer their swords ton foreign power, anti to learn
the art of war under en experienced captain, the •
Duke de Richelieu quitted Frence when very •
young, and went with Count Lino-run and
Count Roger de Dumas, to serve tender the ban-
ners of Suwarrow, who was besieging IsMailtne.—
The brilliant valbUr of these et:Milani • Freneliteen
was eminently displayed iti that 'siege, celebrated
for the most heroic .resietalice and eSie most ini-;
petunia attacks, and it• was noticed by good
judges-ethe Russian Genevel and ink-hers. The

hen it gave etidence tit the most complete devetiOii
to the unfortunate Monarch ; Red on a day t•elee''

he sought cut of France the nn•ane of serving Ins

noble banners of the descendants of the great
Conde, rather than under the blood-stained etaude .
