" M. Pozzi de Borgho said, -c'est Lien aist'• tt dire.—lt
is very easy to say so. Talleyrand rejoined, '' Certainly,
very easy to says, and yet easier to accomplish."
" M. Pozzo, warm at the retort, observed, "Such
matters are justly appreciated by men in place. When
politicians are no longer employed, their personal feelings
oftentimes intervene : they decide boldly on every thing
(ils iranchtnt surtnui), and readily perceive,—and per.
ccive only, the weak side of affairs.
" M. Talleyrand persisted in his former arguments ; and,
becoming animated wi h the subject When," continued
he, " I re-established the King on the throne, I did it
through the Regicide; : their influence over the minds of
the Revolutionists removed obstacles otherwise insurmount-
able ; and if, in the whole coarse of my diplomatic career,
I were to chuse the action most difficult, and pregnant with
the most useful consequences, in which I displayed some
talent, and perhaps some genius, it would be that wherein
engaged the murderers of the late King to recall the
pl.( sent one.."
"M. Pozzo repeated his original apothegm—" Quwul
on 719eSi plus duns les utra:res."
" Who was it, demanded Talley rand, with greater cm
phasis, who was it that made Fondle Alinister?—Monsieur
and the Duke de Berri ; against my wish ; against my
formal opposition."

" M. Pozzo repeated his primitive romark.
" This extorted from Talleyrand —' No man is looked
upon more equivocally, than a Frenchman naturalized in
a foreign country. There is something wanting in the man
-who renounces his country and his country's interests.
Buonaparte would never hear of a naturalized foreigner for
ambassador ; and in that respect Buonaparte was right'
M. Talleyrand finished by making this forcible appeal to
the flussian I call you to witness, M. Pozzi
ui Borgho, that last year, in the very saloon we are now
in, the Emperor your master being present, it was not
until seven in the evening that 1 succeeded in engaging him
to concur in the re-establishment of the Bourbons. All
his views appeared directed towards the Duc d'Orleans.'
" M. Talleyraud, yielding to the application of his
friends, has determined not to leave the metropolis for the
present. Ile was yesterday at the Levee, w here he was well
received.
" The Memoires of M. Maret, Duc de Bassano, will
shortly see the light. Much is expected from the details
the Ex-Minister and favourite is able to furnish. Camba-
ceres is supposed to be the richest of the regicides; he car-
ries with him out of France at least 14 millions of livres,
mar 560,0001. sterling.
" I shall conclude this communication with the following
literal translation of a passage of a letter written by a lady
of Nismes, and received this morning :
' The unfortunate General Lagartle's health is deterio-
rating every day ; his body was in such a state of debility
by his ancient wounds, and the suppuration from his recent
one is so considerable, that the most serious apprehensions
appear but too well founded. Within three days ten splin-
ters have been extracted. Several ladies have been pre.
paring and sending him lint. I have just been employed
in the same occupittiou. From my soul I pity this virtuous
officer—Remote from his friends and his relations, alone
and in mercenary hands, he suffers with angelic resignation.
If custom permitted it, how happy should I be to attend him
in person."

The following facts relative to the arrest of the En.*lish Offi-
cers (says a French Paper) are now generally circulated. They
,hew i n what manner they were discover ed. One of the spies of
the Police had remarked in an howl of the Fattoburg St; 110.
pore many equipages which they d:d not appear to need, but
which are usually kept to he used in long journics. Ile talked
with the porter of the house, who told him, that these carriages,
which they were not accustomed to we, had .c:•ently left the
hotel, and hail not returned until! the expiration tit) hours;
that he was ignorant wile' e they had been. Ile also told him,
that the valet de chambre of the English General who lodged io
the hotel would be able to give him more certain details. This
domestic was accordingly gained. tie discovered that his mas-
ter had carried cn a very extensive correspondence. They
asked of him to purloin some of the letters. The next day,
the valet de chambre prmluced a very long letter, addressed to
a well-known society in London. This letter contained very
positive details of the escape of the condemned Lavalette.

system for the motives already explained, and which he com-
municated to Lord Auckland,`'' that the tetylency of the ques-
