politicai,' tte pectent) not to "say; the
livret:teitainly enteric into the question, untl it is
to be hoped the tormer also. Mademoiselle ST.

AVLAItIi was on the point of marrying some time
since, R meuibet• of the illustrious family
MONTMOR.ENdY, but her family appears to have
preferred personal oietit to thitt of ancestry.—
Should my conject we be right, the circumstance

may he regarded 'as a -characteristic trait of the
public opinion of the French NatiCin.

Be this as

it in y, this marriage is not looked upon with in-
Aifference by any party. M: ba Sr. AULAtRE is
of the number of those who, possessing an ho-
nourable name, save frankly and loyally attached
themselves to coristitntional principles, and the
alliance- that M. i, CAZES contracts %vith his
daughter becomes; for the partizans of the present
system, a new guarantee of the perseverance of
the Ministry. to maintain the interests of the
nation. It would not have been the sattehad he
contracted an alliance with some great family
known for its opposition to the present order of
things.

'I he ftiends of the Charter would have
taken umbrage at it they would have feared the
influence of a young woman educated in the ha-

treil of the present system of Government—and,
to a certainty, such a report, whether well or ill
founded, would have lost this Mitrister a great
number of friends, whom neither the intrigues of
the Ultra-. Royalists, nor the violence of the Inde-
pendeats, have been able to render unpopular.
This popnlailty, however, he 'will assuredly lose,
if he neglects t• make the Ordonnance of the sth
September produce its natural fruit. Resolution
and boldness are only required to render, this Or-
donnonee memorable, • but to make it succeed
completely requires profound political views,
aided by perseverance ; but hitherto M. DR CAzes
has not completely justified the confidence of his
'MAJES TY, or the hopes of the French Nation.

THE PRINCE DE CoNDE.—We have mentioned.
in another culuMn, the. demi!' of the Prince of
CONDe, who was in the 82d year of his age.—He
was born its 1736, two years before his Majesty
King GEORGE THE TntsD. He married, at the
early period of 15, the Princess CHARLOTTE Of
Mohan Soohise, by whom he had- the Due de
BounßON, a Prince familiar with many inhabitants
of this metropolis, and Mademoiselle de Cortoe.—
He commenced his career of arms in the 'Seven
Years' %Var., and fought socce•ssfully, say his
'''Frtoch biographers, against the Hereditary Prince,
afterwards Duke of BatiNsw 'etc. He was named
Grand Master of the King's Household, and'Go-
vernor Of Burgundy, which latter office he held
for 35 years, and endeared himself in it to the
Burgundians by his liberality From the peace of
•176:3, to the breaking out of the Revolntion, he
cultivated lett;:rs and literary men. His Sereu-
Highness is %veil known to have published lohise
tory of the life of his warlike ancestor the " Great
CONDE," which is spoken of as a• work of equal
modesty and merit. At the opening of. the Revo-
lution, he .signeel the .fantoos " Membire des
princes;* addresSed too" the Kit?g, and JniY,
1789, retired from. rance with his family tt?
'Brussels, and thence to Torin. The earlier years
of the Ptioce dc Coupe's exile were employed
and ennobled by his exploits at the head of the
little army of French loyalists, which followed!
his ,standard, and bore his name. After the cam-
paign' of 1800 this corps was disbanded, and the
Prine, repaired to England, where he'lived in the
_enjoy tent of general respect, until the KING'S
,Restoration in 1814. The greater portion of his
time, since his return to France, •has been spent,
.we believe, at Chantilly. where the Prince inha-
bited a small building, the wreck (4.lth:Own an-
cient and tnagtrificent palace. His town residence
was the Valais Bourbon. His mind, since. the
murder of his heroic grandson. the Ducd'EN-
GHIFN, the lost brave branch of a glorious house,
had inthidcd a deep tinge of sadness. But from
this affliction, he took refuge'in habitual piety, and
looked f.or cOmtort where the best comfort is to
be found—in the exercise of his religions. ditties,
to which he devoetd a. large portion of the latter
years of his-life. • He may, without exaggeration
or injustice, be entitled a Prince- in the highest
degree btaVe and polite, affable, ,generous, and
pious., The Due de Bousisors • Was txpeeted
