day thank me for not having deserted you. You should
not give up the living for the dead !' Alas! I knew that
was dead, but it was ferocious to tell me so!"
De Lir& itotv, in a brolom voice, interrupted his friend,
imploring him td !Wall no longer events so disastrous.
" My grief," said Lie'nel steadily, " is no more to-day
than it was yesterday,—than it will be to-tno,Tow. That
which is ever present, has not to ba recalled ; but I ought
to spare your kind heart, and I will do so."

M. ROY, THE NEW FRENCH MINISTER

OF FINANCES.

(From a French work called Bios/raplde des Deputes. )
This Minister was born in 1764; he distinguished
himself in the Parliament of 1785,, and after the
proscription of the farmers-general, published sere-
' ral works on behalf of their widows and children.
Being an advocate, he undertook the defence of
several persons during the revolution, and in the
year 1795,-was fortunate enough in his professional
capacity to save the lives of many individuals. In
1814, he was the founder of several considerable
establishments in his department, and was Secre-
tary to the Electoral College of the Seine, and
Manher of the Chamber of Representatives.
in 1815 he was President of the Electoral College
of the Arrondissement of Sceaux, and Member of
the Chamber; in 1816 he was re-elected; and in
1817 was Reporter of the Budget. In 1819 he was
a candidate for the Presidency of the Commission
of the Sinking Fund ; and in 1820, was Member of
the Council General of Prisons, and of the Com-
mittee of the King's Household.
M. Roy is more celebrated by the hatred which
Napoleon felt for him than by his talents. It is
wed known that the imperial despot made him re-
fund 1,800,000 francs to the domain of the house of
Bouillon; but after the restoration he received an
indemnity of three millions; so that he did not lose
even the interest. In 1815 he was a Representative,
and, it is said, required in Secret Committee that
the oath of fidelity should not be taken to Nap view,.
M. Roy, although a Minister under a Constitu-
tional Monarchy, does not appear to tutderstrrod how
to govern constitutionally.

In January, 1821, when Minister of Finances, AL
Roy demanded from the Chamber a provisional cre-
dit for two hundred millions, as he had before done
in 1820. During the discussion, a Deputy informed
the Chamber, that the credit of two hundred millions,
before granted, had not proved sufficient, and that
the Minicter had exceeded it by one hundred mil-
lions. This M. Roy did not deny ; and it appeared
evident that he had used the revenues of the State
without authority. To prevent the repetition of so
unconstitutional an act, it was proposed by several
Deputies to increase the credit to three hundred mil-
lions; this, however, was refused by M. Roy, who
preferred
.the chances of an unconstitutional mea-
sure to a legal proceeding.

posit for the null between these heroes was forthcoming en
Tuesday evening, at the Red Horse, in Bond-street, the
" c The muster was respectable, and
hem slrvbow ofed to great advantage as a Boniface.
DicK AND JOHN Nrcitor.t.---A match was
made last night at Reuben Marten's, at the City of London
Arm, Berwick-street, between the well-known Dick 4c-
tun, i jos Burn,
the able opponent of Peter Crawley, and a novice in
the London ring, named Nichols, a butcher by trade, and
from 13ristolselniol, for 23/. a.-side, to come off on the
18th of March, within five-and-twenty miles of London.
Nichols is a fine fresh young fellow,
weighing abouttwelve stone arid a half, and is described as an out-and -
outer." Indeed, such is the confidence of his friends, that;nhis trial battle they offered to match him against any man
in England for 25/. or 501., barring neither weight, age,
aor science. Something great msy therefore be expected.
the appearance of an unexpected star in the theatrical
world, or of Shiloh among the Southcotians , could scarcely
have excited more interest among the Fancy.
By the bye, it has bees rumoured that Don Miguel, on
his way to this country, expressed a determination to 66e
" Life in London," in all its varieties, from the splendum
,f the King's Court to the minor amusements of Tom ano'
Jerry; and it would be amusing to give his Royal High-
less u peep at the battle between Savage and Paddy Fl,-nn,
flr Tuesday next. It will be a
good fight, and near the
village, and the Editor of Bell's Life in London can, in
all probability, put him in the right road. The beaks, in
,o,„mon politeness, would not interfere on such an oeca-
,ion, and a lesson of fair play might he afforded, which the
Regent hereafter may find it useful to inculcate among his
11111 future subjects.
