SIR W. JONES's OPINION oF ROBERTSON'S CHARLES
THE Furru.—" I have just read Robertson's Life of
Charles the Fafth, the narrative of which is amusing
and instructive, and the style flowing and elegant; but
the former wants that spirit and fire of genius that alone
can make a history animated, and leave great impres-
sion on the mind ; and the latter has too great a same-
ness tu the turns of the sentences, and abounds with too
many affected words."—Literary Chronicle.

THE FRENCH,
FROM THR WASHINGTON NATIONAL INTELLIOgNCER.

The following is a copy of the memorial, noticed in
our account of the proceedings of the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday last, as having been presented to
the House by the Speaker,- read, and ordered to lie
on the table:
" AN ADDRESS Car LOUIS CHARLES, DUC DE NAVARRE,
DAUPUIN DE FRANCE, LEGITIMATE SON OF LOUIS XVI.
" To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled-
" The nndersigned most respectfully represents, that
by a judgment rendered in France in the year 1817,
ample proof has been given to Europe that the heir of
Lnnis XVI. had been carried away from the Temple.
The divers histoiies written during the existence of the
Republic of France have confirmed the fact. The de-
claration of Maria Theresa Charlotte, at Rotten, where
judgment was rendered, also fully attests `the truth of
the assertions. The individual who set himself up as
the lawful heir of Louis XVI. should have recollected
what preceded, what took place, and what followed his
being carried away. He should have been able to say
where he was raised—to have shewn the sear which the
Queen made upon her son. These questions formed a
part that were put to the Pretender during trial; and his
failing to answer them subjected him to punishment.
- "-Since the King, my uncle, has offered a reward for
the discovery of his nephew, I feel confident of being
able to answer the questions, and to exhibit the proof ;
and indulge the hope, that the American Government
%vill interest itself in his behalf, and return to France
the legitimate Sovereign, the son of the early friend
and protector of this Republic ; the only one now who
can give a durable peace to Europe. The foregoing
facts go to prove that there is at least a belief that the
unfortunate son of Louis is, or may be, existing. The
-ollottinta brief statement of a few circumstances is
presented as a preliminary, in the hope that they will at
least interest mankind, and promote a desire for further
invity,into this momentous subject. They, ate as col-
lows:—Whilst in the possession of my father, Louis
XVI. inoculation was performed on me. The instru-
ment used in the .operation appealing to please me, a
similar one was procured me.. My sister, in attempting
to take it from me, received a wound in her thigh,
which caused a flow of blood. A short time afterwards,
the Royal Family having met together—say about ten
or eleven o'clock at night--3.ouis XVI. my father, took
me into a remote part of the Palace, where-he, in my
presence, buried some precious articles, which I will be
able to discover. He rejoined the family with such
precipitation as to make me feel somewhat alarmed, in-
asmuch, too, as the family had changed dresses. My
sisters was the first person I recognized. 'They also put
upon me a new suit, and we departed for the States of j
my uncle, the Emperor of Austria. Being afterwards
confined with my unfortunate parents, I received the
last farewell of my honoured father—a description of
which awful moments is alone reserved for the true heir
of Louis XVI. About a month after his death, I was
carried away from the Temple, and another boy put
in my place. The exchange was effected by means
of an organ. The Queen, my mother, made a mat k
on the side of my head, forming a triangle with' my
eye and ear. The Duchess, my sister, bears the same
mark. She will also recognize a mole on my neck.
Those who rescued me from the Temple transported me
to Auvergne, Department of the Puy de Dome, where
they administered drugs to deprive me of the power of
speech. About that time, one Antonie Persat, an in-
habitant of Deaezat, had a son in the country at nurse.
His name was Victor—l was substituted for him.—
Some time afterwards the father came for his son, whom
he had not seen since he had put him out. He appeared
astonished at my manners, and put some questions to the
nurse, who said I had visited some Ladies in the neigh-
bourhood, among whom I had acquired them. He
appeared satisfied with the answer, and he gave me
the name of Monsieur, which I bore until the age of ten
years, at which time those who watched over me dis-
continued to administer the customary drugs, thinking
there was no longer any danger of my discovering my-
self, as it was thought I must have forgotten my family.
Mr. Persat put me out again in a boarding-house as ith
two of his sons; the master gave me the name of Au-
guste, which name I kept until the age of 17, when I
enlisted in the 25:h Regiment of Chasseurs a Cheval.
I afterwards left that to join the 29th Regiment, and
was afterwards selected for the guards of Bonaparte.
Several superior officers knew villa I was : circumstances
oblige me to conceal their names. , At the retreat from
Moscow I was wound:d, and obtained a pension under
the name of Victor Persat. In 1814, I joined the Persat
family, where I found proof that they had intercourse
with those who rescued me from . the Temple,
.and
the true son whom I substituted was reinstated. I was
compelled to go to the Island of Cuba, where those
who had saved me from the hand of Robespierre, in
order to force me to adhere to their views, and to be
sub;ervient to their authority, made me experience the
most cruel treatment, and ?educed me to a most
wretched state of misery, which induced the belief that
my sufferings have been caused by a powerful band.
In 1822, several treaties were proposed to me, which I
would not accept. The Governor of Cuba at that time
was disposed to serve me: a sudden death left a suspi-
cion that he had been poisoned. Kindelan was appointed
Governor ad /Wain.. I claimed his protection, but be
was in the pay of my guardians. The present Go-
vernor, Francisco Dionisio Vives, refused positively
to me his p:otection ; I told him, in presence of his
Council, that he should be hereafter put in mind of his
conduct—that he had denied the protection of the laws
to a relation of Ferdinand the Seventh. Left to the
cruelties of my persecutors, my Counsel advised me to
leave Cuba, and were so kind as to furnish me the
means. On the 15th of December, 1823, I left Ha-
vannah, and landed at New (Means on the Ist of Ja-
nuary, 1824, and directed my steps to this metropolis;
and, being the son of her early friend, he makes this
solemn appeal to the nation, who are unbiassed, and dis-
daia to favour private interests, and commits himself
with ample proof to attest his lineage; and if he shall
be found to be a pretender or an impostor, let him be
dealt with as such.
" Let the present memorial be preserved in the re-
cords of the Republic, and let a copy of it be sent to
the Emperor of Austria, and another to the Duchess of
Angouleme.
" It is among freemen,and liberated fiom the shackles
which even my liberators have imposed upon me, that I
shall await the result of my fate, which is not doubtful.
It is on the wing of truth,and noton the points of bayonets
that France will hail the return of her long lost son.
