PRINCE TALLEYRAND.

(Front a Morning Paper.)

Talleyrand possesses no character for political in-
tegrity. He is accused by the French of having
deserted and deceived every party with which he
has been connected. This may be true for ought I
know; but be it true or ,be it false, I believe he can-
not fairly be accused of ever having deserted his
country. So much for the reputation of the Prince
as regards his political conduct. I will now ley a
word as respects his intellectual character. No one
will, deny that he is a man of, extraordinary talents;
and in England, if tam . not greatly mistaken, he is
universally considered, in point of intellect, the most
distinguished man in France. He is, moreover, a
member of one of the most ancient families in
Europe, and he enjoys, the highest rank in the French
aristocracy. 1 am inclined to think that he will be
sought after by all classes of persons more than any
French Ambassador ever sent to the English Court,
and that he will be, for the winter, at least, the
leading Lion of London. In his personal appearance
he is one of the most singular men in existence. It
is, in short, impossible to look upon him without
immediately coming to the conclusion that be is a
most extraordinary personage. The Duke of Mon-
tebello is reported to have said, that yon might. be
looking at Talleyrand steadfastly in the face at the
moment a person kicked him from behind without
being able to know from his features that anything had
happened to him; this 1 take to be literally true. His
face,in fact, is atime of stone, with the exception of
his eyes, which are remarkably brilliant. His person
appears like that of a skeleton dressed after the fashion
of times long passed away. His upper garment is
very loose, and partakes of the form of a robe rather
than a coat. Such was the costume in which be
appeared at the soiree of Lafayette, last Tuesday 1
evening. His presence.there was not at all expected
by the crowds of people who .weekly pay their re-
specie to the most consistent and the most patriotic
man of the age. The announcement of his name, as
may be .easily imagined, excited no little astonish-
ment. A passage through the company was made
for him by the attendants, and every .eye was in
tensely fixed upon him as he moved along the suite
of apartments, like the statue of it withered old man
to. which had been given the power of locomotion.
After conversing with Lafayette for about ten mi-
nutes, ha left the apartments in the flame manner- in
whirls he entered them. He yesterday left Paris
for London. It is generally imagined that Talley-
rand took no part in thelate Revolution.. Nothing was
ever. more erroneous than this opinion. I have the
best of reasons for believing that he was mainly in-
strumental in placing Louis-Philippe upon the French
Throne.

In answer to a correspondent, we beg to state,
that any brewer of beer for aide, or dealer in beer, on nb.
taining a license pursuant to the 1 Wm. IV., c. 64 (the
new Beer Binh may become a retailer of beer, according
to that act. The only persons, prohibited front receiving
such licenses being Sheriff's Officer*, officers executing
the legal process of any Court of Justice, persons nut
being housekeepers assessed to the poor-rittes, and persons
disqualified by offending againt the provisions of that Mt.
Times.

A. deputation from the operative plain gilt and
plate button manufacturers, residing in I.lirm►ngham,
have received letters from the principal members of
the Royal Family, and several of the, nobility, con-
taining assurances that they will adopt the plain gilt
metal, buttons in fil,hiffilithie wear as soon as the
mourning was expired. The
.If-thawing letters film:
the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel will
evince the interest those Ministers take in. the
prosperity of a trade which already had obtained the
especial patronage of their Majesties:

" Lmndon, Sept. 9.

" The Duke of Wellinvon resents his compliments to
Mr. Bland, and has received his letter and the plain gilt
batons transmitted therewith, whidlt the Duke will wear
with great pie rare.

To -W. Bland, EP4., elvtirman of the Deputation,
&c., Clement's Inn Chambers."
" London, Sept. 9.
_ _ _

" Sir Robert Peel begs leave to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of Mr. Bland's letter of the,7th September, and of
the set of gilt buttons which aceotripanies it. Sir Robert
Peel will be happy to do any thing in his power to en-
courage a branch of trade so ituportmt to the prosperity
of Ilirtninghant.
U Addressed as above."

tt is understood that his Majesty has ordered two
suits of clothes tt) be made immediately by his hotly
wilor, with directions to adopt the gilt and plated
buttons.

Ms. Colonel ELWOOD, Who has so much:
distinguished herself by the work she has just published on
the " Overland Journey to India," is the only lady who,
ever undertook so hazardous en enterprise. In her passage
through the deserts and wirdernmes, by the solitary shores
of the red sea, and over perilous ranges of mountains, her
faculty of observation seems never to have forsaken her ;
and wherever her party came in contract with wandering
tribes, the young and beautiful English lady was always on
object of the greatest cursosity and attraction. The
whole account of her adventures is, indeed, something new
in personal history, and must by comparison, render tame
the narrative of those of the stronger sex.

On Thursday last a public mectina was, held
of the inhabitants of Glasgow in the Town Hall, "to
consider the propriety of expressing their admiration of the
heroism of the French people, in successfully resisting the
late attempt to destroy their liber:Tes, and the moderation
of their subsequent measures in the establishment of a free
Government." The Loan PaovosT was called to the
Chair. Six resolutions, expressive of the admiration the
inhabit tots of Glasgow felt at the conduct of the French
people, their tnagnanitnous forbearance, moderation, and
wisdom in subsequent proceedings for reforming abuses
and establishing a free Government, were moved by It
Gnattaux. Esq., seconded by. R. Titostson, Esq., and
unanimously adopted. The meeting broke up, after giving
four cheers for the French people, and three for King
WILLIAM the FOURTH.

WORCESTER MUSIC MEETING.—From the
very extensive preparations that are now being made, we
confidently anticipate one of the most brilliant music
meetings that we have witnessed fio many years. The
patronave of their Royal Ifighneues the Dnchess of KENT
and the Princess Vurrouta will give a lustre and intete.t
unknown since the period when our late revered Monarch
Gxonnx 111. and his Royal Consort deigned to honour a
similar meetilK with their presence, in 1788. We have
reason to believe that many other illustrious visTters will
attend (Prince Liorot.n, Princess rsizimAzr, &c.) A
powerful attraction also exists in the, principal female
singer, MALI/MAN. The first perfo►mince will commence
on Tuesday next.— Worcester Herald.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—EarIy on Thurs-
day morning a meeting of a hostile nature took place at
Hallybresian, in thellarony of Forth, between Wutt.taat
Nurg, Esq., and 111torazr. Captain
Iliatimoti, Chief Constable of Police, baring obtained
information of their intention, proceeded to the ground,
and prevented the gentlemen from indulging their wishes.
The affair has since been amicably arranged. Two me(li.
eal gentlemen were in attendance. Captain TayLoa acted
at friend to Mr. Pritur.trs, and Captain MURPHY to Mr.
Nu N Wexford Herald.

Most of the secret springs of the American
Revolution are, and must remain for ever unknown, owing
to the mot important discussions of Congress having been
carried on with closed doors, and no Member having made,
as far as is yet known, any notes of what took place.

Yesterday four seamen underwent a Jong exa-
mination at the Thames Police-office, charged on suspi-
don of being concerned in taking posNessiOn of the colonial
brig Cyprus, in the mouth of Auguit, 1829, and sub-
sequently with being concerned in some uefariont acts of
piracy.

A GENTLEMANLY Doo.—l was once in
pissession of a very fine house slog, which had formerly
belonged to Covent Garden ; but Mr killing a man acci-
dentally in the shirk, was discharged. PASQUIN came to
my house one Saturday morning, to get "my hones;" but
Mrs. TIVINAIII) and myself were out, to give the servants
free dominion With their mops and buckets. The door
being open, PASQUIN walked in, and intended to enter the
parlour ; hat the deg was lying on the mat before it, who
*staking the former either for the dustman or a coal-
14aVer, rose 4ill his hind-legs, with a sense of the impro-
priety, and placing his paws to the stranger's shoulders,
actually walked him bark to the threshold, where be
dropped to the ground, awl looked him up in the face.
The maid was descending the stairs at this instant, and
perceived the whole affair. Nov, this was not a more
extraordinary proof of the good-breeding of the slog, than
the unpleasantness of PASQUIN'S appearance;—..here was a
gentlemanly dog turning out a ditty one.—Bernard's Re
trospectiona of the Stage.

EARTIIQUAKt OF JAMAICA, 1692.—1 n
the year 1692 the island of Jamaica was visited by a
violent earthquake, the ground swelled aed 'seamd like a
rolling sea, and was traversed by numerous eracks, two or
threo hundred of which were often *ems at a time opening
and then closing rapidly again. Many people WAY:N
swallowed up in these rents ; souse the earth caught by
the middle and squeezed to death; the heads of others only
appeared above ground, and some were first engulphed and
then east up again with great quantities of water. Such was
the devastation that even at Port Royal, then the capital,
where more houses are said to have beett left standing
than in the whole island beside, three-quarters of the
buildings, together with the ground they stood on, sank
down with their inhabitants entirely under water. The
hap *tore-hooves, on the Isarhour side subsided, to as to be
twentysfour, thirty-six, and forty-eight fret under water;
yet Many of them appeared to have remained standing, fur
it is stated that, after the earthquake, the must.beads of
several ships wrecked in the harbour, together with the
chimney.tope of houses, were seen just proiecting above
the waves. A tract of land round the towns about
thousand acres in extent, sank down its leas than one mi
note, during the firer shock, and the sea immediately
tolled in. The SWIM frigate, which was repairing in the
wharf, was driven over the tops of many
buildings; cad
then thrown upon one of the roofs, tkrough which it broke.
The breadth of one of the streets is said to have been
doubled by the earthquake. M aevstral thousand plac,e*
in Jamaica the earth is related to have opened.--L.Yell°

In all eases where there may be no duplicate,
or where the duplicate May nut be forthcoming,
mach expense and itteon'venience. would •be occa-
sioned if It were necessary th►tt the registered ori-
ginal should be pro:luced in Courts olinstice.

To remedy this evil, so far as, the purposes of
justice will allow, we think that office copies of ori-
ginal:documents, certified by the proper officer, and
guider the seal of the Register Office, of which Judi-
cial notice is to he taken, should I,e erdunee of the
effluents, and of the due execution of the original,
unless objected to after notice of the intention to
use them, conformably to the regulations respecting
doeuments, contained under the head
" Verification of Documents," in the Report we
have referred to; and we think that the party ob-
jecting should be allowed either to require the oil-
Oriel to be preyed, or simply to be produced. We
think that all the regulations we have referred to
shott!d, with suitable modifications, be applied to,
suits in equity.
The Leglidature, has already sanctioned the, prio-:
ciples on whieWthi'propostil of admitting copies in
evidence rests. Although by the Common Law a.
coastal or insparimus of the king's letters patent
could not have been shown forth in Court by stet.
3 and 4 Ed. 6, e. 4, explained by stet. 13 Elizabeth,
c. 6, patentees, and persons claiming tinder them,
may take title in pleading, by showing forth an exem-
plification of the inrolment of the letters patent, as
if the letters patent themselves were pleaded and
shown forth. By star, 10 Anne, c. 8, s. 3, it is
provided, that in pleading an indenture of bargain
anti sale inrolled, where the original is wanting, the
party pleading may show forth, and produce a copy
of the inrolment, and such copy examined with
the inrolment, and signed by the proper officer,
an .1 proved upon oath to be a true copy, shall be of
the same force and effect as the indenture of bargain
and sale would be if produced. By stet. 8 Geo.
2,.c. 6, s. 22, it is enacted, that persons having or
claiming title to ally lands, &c. in the North Riding
of Yorkshire, may register at full length all deedS,
writings, wills, and conveyances under which such
title shall be claimed; and that all copies of such
inrolmenti of such deeds, &c. signed by the register
or his deputy, shall be good evidence of such deeds,
&c. destroyed by fire or other accident. And by
stet. 7 Geo. 4; c. 57, petitions, schedules, assign.
Memo, and other proceedings respecting insolvent
debtors, are proved by copies purpOrtingto be signed
by the proper officer,and under the seal of the Court.
Copies of court rolls, and chirographs of fines, are
legal evidence.
The maxim, that the' best or highest degree of
evidence is to be, produced, has been by no means
uniformly adhered to by the common law itself,
mid should never be enforced where evidence of
lower degree can be given with less inconvenience
and expense, and with the same assurance of arriv-
ing at truth.
