ANECDOTES OF 311KABEAU AND TALLEYEAND.

As publicist, scholar, and even as writer, Minbeau is below his re-
putation. His speeches at the Tribune often excited enthusiasm ; and
the vast information that he displayed there, on the most important
subjects of political econom, was wondered at ; but, that which un.
doubtedly many prisons are Ignorant of, these productions did not be.
ion to Sint:eau. The following Is the manner in which ibis deputy
wWr.a :—when be bad to speak on an important subject, and which
was susceptible of extensive development, he classed the matter, and it
was distributed to men of talent, who treated eaucahleilartely—the pan
of it be was versed in : one took upon himself thepolitical side of the
questiom—another the leialatirc—a third disc the financial—and
Hs fourth the administrative eider. These writers were allowed forty.
I **fit hours for the dispatch of their work, foe which they were gene.
nnudy paid. Hirtbeau polished it, connected the different pans, gave
to them the form he thought best, and 'tided traits proper to make
the necessary impression on the assembly. We could mane the coo-
Menial person Mirabeau entrusted with the distribution of his work.
as well as the obscure, bat very erudite writers who sold him their
talents. We ISM these particulars, because we possess the prom:.
Besides, the greater part of public awn ars generally only the step.
' fathers of works they pass to be fathers of. We will cite, as an example,
the Ex. Bishop of Autun, Tadleyrand rtrigord, who acquired a meat
literary and political reputation by his reports and speeches at the
Aasemblic Constituente. It is suspected .bat they were the work of
the Abbot Leubry, Canon and Grand Vicar of Rheims, whom Talley.
rand brought to Paris, and nutria work fur hisuself. The 1121.-Bishop of
Amon has much wit, but bide instruction and positive information,
and cannot pass foe a great statesman, except in the eyes of who
lake pliancy of mind for genius, and a brilliant address foe talent.
After the death of Laubry, M. de Talleyrand had recourse to
the Abbe Datrenaudes. It is with this latter that be has drawn tip
his speeches, reports, diplomatical compositions. and even his simple
letters, from the time of his nomination to foreign stairs under t
Directory. Every one knows the following tact r—Telleymod I.
deftly summoned before the Directory Rewbell indent hint to draw ap,
on the moment, a repast relative to the Barbary Powers, sad to give hie
opinion on an important affair which was negociating at Algiers.—
'' There are pens and paper ; place yourself at this table. and draw tilt
the report," says Itewbell to the Dlitusmr for Foreign Affairs, who 114.
gins instantly his task. Out diplomatical science cams not, and wit
alone is not eufficient, when exact developments and proofs in their up'
port are necessary. I'alicyrand scribbles, watches out, turns and re•
turns in every sense ; his work advances not ; and &wheal, bccomin;
impatient, treats writ/ enough the Minister of Directorial Diplo-
macy. At last, Tolle ways to the Director, Such a task csanot
be done but with aso et bead ; 1 want the silence of my cabinet hoe
weans *re coming in and going out every instant: 111 step brew aid
bring you immediately what you demand " And truly. at the end or a
few hours, 111. de Talleyrand presented to the Directory an r,scellent
composition.
