THE HISTORICAL MISCELLANY.
By W. C. TAYLOR, A M.
" This is an instrtictive.volume for the youthful student,
intended at a Supplement to Pinnock's, Grecian, Roman,
and English Histories. The fist half of the volume is
occupied with the primeval and classical periods; in which
the Author lias particularly direc►ed his attention to those
branches of history on which school-books are frequently
deficient, although directly illustrative of the general course
of study. Among these topics may be instanced, the
Histories of the Persians and Carthagenians, the Antago-
nists and Rivals of Greece and Rome. In the modern
division especial attention is paid to the Feudal System and
the Crusades, and afterwards to the English Empire in
India, and British Commerce in general. Then follows a
series of British Biography, and, in conclusion, a view of
the British Constitution. Prefixed to the volume is a
Union Map, exhibiting, in one sheet, the ancient divisions
of the world in red, and the modern in black, an ingenious
and very useful pl in "—Gentleman's Magazine.

We must say there an elegance, if not a splendour,
of decoration about these volumes, that very properly cor-
responds with the ideas of magnificence which we usually
associate with the name of India. The contents are
worthy the beautiful framework in which they,are ma,

' Picture of India' will suparsedu every competitor that
has arisen, or that is likely to come into the field.

much wanted as n manual of that remote and extensive
portion of the British Empire. It contains a very good
map, end numerous well-executed engravings of scenery,
&c. The volumes are got up with great care and neatness.
They will afford the reader an outline of the features of a
most remarkable country in a short space of time, and

well-written introductions and sequels (carrying each life

(From the Scotsman.)
We called attention some time ago to a clever ar-
ticle in the Edinburgh Review, sounding the note of
'preparation for a coalition of all the Outs--Mhig,
Tory, and Radical—Against the Duke of Welling-
ton's Ministry. Is this article a mere feeler? Ih
it a pleadingin favour of a scheme now maturing, of
already mewed? These are questions we cannot
answer. But several circumstances lead us to think
that the writer is pretty deep in the secrets of the
Whigs at least; and that what he so warmly recom-
mends would not be disagreeable to them. Be this
as it mly, it is not probable that the present aroma-
dolts state of the Government and the parties in
Parliament will continue long. We fear rather than
hope, that it will come to an end; for so far as the
interest of the country is concerned, we doubt if any
change likely to take place will be an improvement.
The Whigs have too great wants ht this period;
they want Scientific financiers and good Men of busi-
ness; and they want a leader who has the • practic.tl
taleWitifinenee, and force of Character, necessary to
unite them firmly, and bring their scattered strength
to operate steadily in one direction, In his better
days, Earl Grey would have been a good chief to the
party. He has energy, eloquence, and a comprehen-
sive understanding. lint his temper has evidently
become unbending and impracticable ; and the high
aristocratical doctrines lie has recently promulgated
have destroyed his popularity. We doubt if the
Whigs have among them a 'man of business equal to
Mr. Peel ; and they certainly have not a financier to
be compared-with Mr. Huskisson:

The High Tories are nothing by themselves.
Their numerical strength is not great, and their moral
strength infinitely less. As Statesmen, as men of
business, as public speakers, what are the Duke of
Newcastle, Lord 'Winchilsea, Lord Londonderry,
Lord Mansfield ! They are literally unknown in
the country, except for some explosions of vanity
and hot-headed violence. There are sundry offices
of mere show which such men might fill; but no-
body dreams of making any one of them a Minister.
As for my Lord Eldon, apart from his legal talent,
he has nothing in his character or intellect to cover
the insignificance of his associates.
The Huskissonfun party is small; probably it can-
not count a dozen of votes at a full muster. Its
consequence is derived entirely from the business
talent of Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Charles Grant.
There is no person in its ranks fit to lead a
Ministry; but it could supply two excellent working
men. Mr. Grant, however, though he has a fine
understanding, and is a man of honour and worth,
is said to be indolent ; and Mr. Huskisson, who is
the profoundest master of finance now living, wants
political honesty--a fault, which, bad as our Govern-
ment is, deprives him of no small share of the influ-
ence he would otherwise possess.
The Radical, or as it may be more appropriately
called, the popular party, owes its consequence solely
to the talent, unwearied industry, and incorruptible
integrity, of Mr. Hume. This is by far the most
single-minded, virtuous, and useful association of
men, which was ever seen within the walls of Par-.
liament. It is the unbought watchman of the
people; the sleepless, searching, indefatigable censor
of the Government. It is the first party that may
be said not only not to seek office, but to have posi--
tively renounced every chance of obtaining it. The'
acceptance of place lit tights!) at KsAtiriit
uepeutta on an anion i
at liberty to enforce economy and reform to an ex-
tent which cannot be hoped for, without such a
cleansing of our political system as no man expects
to see accomplished at present. Of course this
party will enter into no pactions or compromises
with any other; and in all organised schemes
for overturning the Ministry it will count as nothing.
Whether mutual overtures have been passing be-
twixt the Whigs, High Tories, and Iluskissonians,
we do not'pretend to know; bat party-men cud po-
liticianshuve flexible consciences; and if
we wishgeraly
to divine what their future conduct will be,
we must study their position,and their interests.—
What these tend to niche them in the long run
they will be. To us, therefore, it is scarcely less
than a moral certainty, that if the three parties just
named continue in opposition, and find their On.
junct strength sufficient to overpower the Dukes
ministry, the love of power, and the instinct of self.
Interest will soon teach them to combine for this
purpose. No matter how widely their opinions may
have diverged in time past; .in one point they are
agreed—in the wish to drive the Ministers from
power, and to occupy their places. We believe
there are honourable men among both Whigs and
Tories; but reasons of expediency use always at
hand for such occasions. A tolerably honest Whig
may put the question to himself, in a shape which
will satisfy his ambition, without greatly disquietin
his conscience—" If by conceding (he may say)
some points to men holding different opinions, and
who make similar concessions in their turn, I am
able to put a Ministry into power which will do
more good than the present, am I not bound to do
it ? Politics are a practical science, and why
should I, for the sake of speculative questions, that
need not be stirred, deprive the country of the ser-
vices of better men than those that are cow in
power ?" We are not saying whether this reason-
ing is right or wrong. It is enough that tolerably
honest politicians, as politicians go, employ it.
lf, then, the three parties named have gained in
any thing like the proportion alleged, by the late
elections, we think the Duke of Wellington and
Mr. Peel may look for 4' coalition to turn them out
of office. If the want of an efficient leader do not
prevent such an Onion, in all probability nothing else
will. But the question comes, in what manner is
this coalition to be resisted ? The most obvious
means of resisting it would be, to detach one of the
parties from the others by gaining it over. But the
Duke is evidently averse to this sort of tactics. He
is unwilling to take an entire party into the Cabinet:
and the men he would select will not separate from
their friends. Only one other means of defence can
avail the Ministers; and we shall rejoice if their
situation forces them to have recourse to it.
In one word, then, they must wrest the weapons
of assault from the hands of their opponents; they
must bring forward themselves those popular mea-
once* by which their adversaries will attempt to
supplant theta in the esteem and confidence of the
country. The people care neither for Whigs nor
Tories. What they want is reforth and retrench-
ment; the Alleviatien of burdens that are unavoid-
able; the liberation' of industry from restrictions ;
the suppression of monopolies end abuses ; the
cheapening of justice; the rooting out of jobbing
and corruption, of west() and extravagance, in high
places and in low. If Ministers exert themselves
honestly and strenuously in this course, they will
carry the hearts of the people with them, and may
laugh at the efforts of any coalition; thanks to the
Press, the influence of the public voice within the
walls of Parliament is now greatly increased. In
former times, when the debates were not reported,
and rivet factions were left to worry one another in
comparative darkness; there was no check on their
selfishness and violence. Now they act in presence
of a vigilant public, which weighs, judges, and pro-
nounces upon every measure. The vain are thus
kept right by their love of popularity; the prudent
feel their motives to duty strengthened; the, back-
sliding are in many cases shamed out of their Ws
iiigeth intentions ; and faction is stripped of rift, of

There are men whose very name seems fatal to
empires, whether by chance or perversity their appa.
ritinn in power is ever attended by some public ca-
lamity. At the very sight of them, uneasiness,
fear, and suspicions arise in men's minds. Enthu-
siasm is smothered and superseded by distrust,
whilst the future is doubted. Of this description is
M.deTalleyrand.

If M. de Talleyrand has not all his life betrayed
the cause of liberty, he was at any rate +Any unfor-
tunate in serving it. In 1702, France had just, as
at present, thrown off a shameful yoke. Then, as
at present, England applauded this movement, and
flags were flying in 'every town with the inscription
of "No French War or Revolution." It might
have been likewise supposed then, that the upper
classes of British society beheld this noble efTort
with pain. M. de Talleyrand was sent by the French
Government on a secret mission to the Cabinet of
St. James's. He resided for some time at London,
when a Member of Parliament, Lord Stanhope,
said to a Frenchman, whom in case of news•
sity we could name, " Your agent betrays you.
He is sold to Pitt—he excites this Ministry against
France, and France against England, and secretly he
runs down the Revolution in the papers, which were
then very much in its favour," Had Lord Stan-
hope spoken the truth ? All we know is, that a
few days afterwards the ilforning Chronicle dis-
owned its former doctrines, and attacked the French
nation violently. Our overnment made then a
terrible beginning, yielded to the wishes of Mr. Pitt,
threw England into a coalition, and M. de Talley-
rand, who had fled to America, remained a peace-
able spectator of the days of terror and of blood.
Afterwards he made again his appearance on the
scene of politics. Some intrigues of particular co-
teries thrusted him into the Administration of
Foreign Affairs. This was in 1799. Chempionnet,
the conqueror of 'Naples, threatened Sicily; whither
a numerous party called him. M. de Talleyrand
Perigord, the uncle of the Minister, hastened to
Queen Caroline. A regular cnrrespondenee, the:
traces of which were" discovered, was established
between him and his nephew. Championeet was
trel or Turin. The object of Sicily miscarried, and
Italy was soon afterwards lost to France.
We shall not follow M. de Talleyrand through
the details of his long political career. We mean to
quote only one fact, of which we have a personal
knowledge. In 1814, one of the best citizens ad-
dressed a note to the Emperor Alexander through
the medium of Count Capo d'lstrie, wherein lie
demonstrated the impossibility of the restoration.
This Memoire was well received by Alexander, who.
expressed a wish to see the author; but in the inter-
val M. de Talleyrand was admitted to the secret
confidence of the Autocrat, and changed his dispo-
sitions. The courageous citizen was turned away,
his councils were despised, and the Bourbons res
turned to France. Since that it is well known with.
how much obstinacy M. de Talleyrund defended the
cause of that family at the Congress of Vienna;
nor is he either guiltless of the glorious blood shed
at Waterloo. These are the services he rendered
to France, and the sacrifices he has •inade to her
quarrels !
However, ho is now called upon to represent his
country under the same circumstances, and at the
same place as in 1702. Regenerated Prance sends
to her friends in England a man who boasts or hav-
ing taken fourteen oaths. Can such a choice have
been perfectly voluntary on the part of the French
Government ? and has it not been imposed upon it
by some of those considerations which operate so
powerfully on mediocrity of mind ?
The high Aristocracy of England was not igno.
rant that preparations were making at London for a
solemn procession, decorated with tri-coloured flags,
which was to go to meet the French Ambassador,
Did it wish to prevent this manifestation of public
opinion ? Might it not have hinted, for this pur.
pose, to our Cabinet, that the choice of M. 4u. Tals
leyrand would be particularly acceptable to the Eng-
lish Government ? Might not this proposal have
been favourably received, the wishes of,the British
Aristocracy thee granted, and its plan been crowned
with complete success ? We have heard some
Euglishmen exclaim yesterday with great pain,
" that we had thrown an iceberg upon their en-
thusiasm ;" that they abandoned the idea of their
projected fetes; aqd that our Ambassador would find
only solitude, silence, and no very flattering
grumblers on his .passage. Is it not to be feared
that the bonds of sympathy which united Englund
to France may not break, and not unite again for a
length of time ?
We cannot speak of this subject without pain.
When the Government si as at variance with the
nation, its blunders concerned it oleo.; but now that
it has emanated from the bosom of the nation, it
cannot injure itself without injuring Nonce likewise.
It is intimately united with the :country. It is be-
cause we wish its stability, that we reproach it with
the harm it has done to itself; it is because we
should wish to see it, that we sigh, when we see it
!canon men who only can Nure Its moral force and
polit cal consistency.

(From the Quotidienne lied Courtier Francais.)
M. de Talleyrand is to depart on Thursday even-
ing on his new embassy. This haste is perhaps less
the result of zeal than that of fear. He thinks that,
when more enlightened respecting the bad effect of
his nomination, the Government might repent of
such a choice. Setting all national spirit aside, it is
not without terror that speculators see M. de Tulle)-
rand go to London, where M. Ouvrard is already.

PARIS, SEPT. 01' PARIS IN Sup.
TRAIBI:12, 1830.—1 f a foreigner had visited Paris in
the last days of July he would have foetid the town
every where unwed, end furrowed with barricades;
he would have heard the cannon roar, and the grape
shot whistle; he would have seen a population
animated and enraged, men and women, children
turd aged men, eneourriging each other in the tight,
arid braving death with emulation. A month has
hardly elapsed, and if that foreigner now vieited
Paris he would see a happy and peaceable.rooltittnin
circulating through our streets; he would see :smiling.
countenances and frees full of enjoyment ; he would
see byre' the light tilburies of the Clunasee /Win
passing rapidly the crested coach of the Vardrourgs
Saint Germain; their elegant females selecting a
bonnet and deciding concerning a •-new &stria?) ;
everywhere he would see ealmnette; the menthe.
tories filled, the shops opened, public end private
woiks—eVerything going on in its regular train, end
the conquerors of the town giving themselves op
to their accustomed occupations, going gaily tot
their work, and singing patriotic songs:. Such is
Paris at present. A few weeks have been sufficient
to effect this miraculous Awl*. A Frenchman the
less, and happiness has come hack amongst us.
This is the general aspect of the town. If we
look at the different daises and diff-rent, quarters,
we shall have eyed reeeon to be satisfied. The an-
dent aristocracy (we begin with- it, .because .wtsbitve
little to say of it) was for a time aatoniebesily oust
glorious revolution. It was • seen tre-,selasre,'Situl
during eight days there was no 'FaubOurg ,Ynird
Germain. But this state of things mkt not last
long—aristocrats ere long lived. The Duke..of Ors
leans was hardly proclaimed when the privileged
people went in crowds to the Pulais Royale. They,
desired to be—tine Chamberlain, another. Maid of
Honour, a third••Reurier, &c.; and,' as a 'man of
wit formerly said, the conquerors were in the Work-
shop, the vanquished in the drewinproom. These
demonstrations of zeal were not acceptable. The
Citizen-King has declared that he will not have a
Court; a refusal easy to foresee by those who had
not forgotten a phrase too little known . of. their
King. The governor of one of his eotos resked. him
long ago what political principles it Was necessary to
teach his pupil ? " Make him a•Repablie.M," ft-
plied the Prince; " he will always be Royalist
enough." Affronted by the reception they, met
with, the noble beggars have revenged themselves
by epigrams. They have called. Philip I. the King
of the People. That was the surname given by. brat
courtiers to Louis XII.; it is seen that the mem-
blanee of the King of the French to that Prince wns
not limited to his having been like him—a Duke of
Orleans. However this. may • be, let us leave the
Feubourg Sr. German to exhale its vile witticisms.
It must feel that its hostility to the present , Go-
vernrnent can only serve the republic; it does ;not
desire that • more than the majority of the country,
and it must henceforth resign itself to be that which
it was under the Consulete—the aristocracy of

manners.
If from this sullen power we pass to the middle
classes, there are no praises which they do not
merit. They are represented, and cannot be better,
by the National Guard, which has so marvellously
orgnnized itself in a few weeks. It is an, imposing
spectacle to see this citizen-army everywhere pre-
sent, and everywhere a protection, defending with
60,000 bayonets our dwellings, our public buildings.,
our industry. The youthful Perisixne are, in fact,
not to be wearied; they press forward; they
; their brilliant uniform gives intimation to our
streets, and rejoices our eyes. In the streets, in
the squares, and even in privets houses drilling is
going on. They watch over every thing, and they
are equal to every thing. In the morning they ex-
ercise; in the day they attend to business ; in the
eremites they are a guard. They excite the admire-
.
and our admiration by their vigilant activity. They
have improved the French character, by uniting to
the gaiety of the ancient .mirne the good aeilsa ,of
modern times.
But the citizens of the inferior claws ought',
above all, to attract our attention; theireourage hes
been already praised; we shall applaud their wide-
ration and their honesty. Two circumstances in
particular make these virtues conspicuous in our eyes
—the insurrection in Belgium, and the last attempta
of the Jesuits. In fact, the plundering conduct of
the workmen of Brussels and Aix-la-Chapelle brings
into bold relief the Parisian morality. ,And have not
the. late efforts of the agitators been employed only
to prove that the people of the capital will never
yield to the insinuations of their enemies? Yes, our
brave workmen have given a proof of this. If they
ate conscious of their rights, they are also aware of
their duties. They understand order as well Me
liberty, and the word populace is for ever erased
from the French vocabulary. Since the glorious
events of July, and particularly since those of lest
week, when we see a man in a jacket and apron, we
look at him with pleasure. We experience the
same sensation as a lady expressed a month ago, the
witt of one of our patriot Deputies of Lorrain--
what do you think of the Parisian workmen ? we
asked. "Ah !" she replied, with an affecting aim-
plicity, " I could embrace them all." is it possible.
in fact, to conceive such enthusiasm united *with
such moderation, and so much disinterestedness
so close to severe privations? In that our Revoke.
tier,* differs essentially from that of our fathom—
They were sublime in the contest, but not sublime
in success. Then many of the patriots seemed only
to overthrow the Seigneurs, that they might become
Maim; and intendatts,that they might be Prtfects ;
then the inferior classes sought far places and situa-
tions, and every one wished to rise above his sphere.
In our days there are no interested views, particularly
among the people; they sleeke to preserve and not
to conquer. The only oltjeet. of the workmen. in
taking up arms was to defend,. their own industry
threatened by despotism, and they only turned away
from danger to go beck to their work. No pillage—
no useless bloodshrd—every Where the most perfect
order. Admirable people; who knew how to con-

In the latter days of the great week we heard
the workmen saying to each other, " My friend, we
have chased away this Bourbons—our task is
finished; let es leave the rest to be done by those
acquainted with the matter." Sublime reason!
Sublime modesty I May those acquainted with the

This faithful picture of the capital is consoling for
the future. We are not afraid to say so ; there are
no longer in France any elements but of order
peace. It is very probable that at the first hewasnoif
