the whole yla palace .
There Madame du Cayla resided till near the end of 1817.
In July of that year her husband created a disturbance Io
the palace by his violence of temper, which furnished both
a motive for her leaving that residence, and supplied one of
the grounds of their future separation. Mademoiselle Taloa;

and •ery accomplished. Whether she gave her ha!
grounds of jealousy or not, in the first years of their
it would appear that jealousy was early the cans. of (14

tic discord, and that this feeling, acting on a weakild
irascible mind, had deprived him of his senses. Such at
least is the conclusion to which we must come, if we can
believe the facts which Madame du Cayle alleged against
him as the grounds of a separation necessary for her person-
al safety. The following is the picture which she draws
of her domestic tyrant—" Hy a sort of oddity which belongs
to his character, he can find happiness no where, and ap-
pears to exist only to torment and render miserable all
those who ought to obtain and enjoy his affections. It is
not saying too much to declare, that he is an object of
terror and alarm to every one about him, by violence and
his furies : nobody is safe against his abuse and his out-
rages. M. le Comte du Cayla seems to have laid it down
as a law to himself to resemble nobody. With him every.
thing is mania. Me goes out, and runs about the streets ;
nay, goes journeys to the night-time with particular plea.
sure. Ile does not return home or go to bed till four or
five in the morning, and then remains in bed till four o'clock
in the afternoon. He sleeps on a chair, on a dirty mattress
stretched upon a plank, and iu all seasons keeps his win-
dows open. He takes his meals alone, even with traileurs,
*ipi he cannot suffer the presence of any person whatever in

room where he eats." The lady, after this pretty por-
trait, exposes ail her griefs in succession against her bus-

Mad. She had been carried by him against her will from a
ball—she had been called names by him—she had even been
threatened with personal violence.—she had been abused in
letters which he wrote to his friends, in which he accused
her of infidelities. On these allegations, the Court decreed
that "Zoe Victoire Talon is and shall remain separated In
body and habitation from Count Achille Pierre Antoine de
Baohy du Cayla, her husband—that he shall be prohibited
from haunting or frequenting her, and that under such
penalties as the Court shall fix." &c.
Madame du Cayla is thus still the wife of the Count,
though living on a separate maintenance; and if the King
is to have her in a left-handed marriage, as it is said be
wishes, he must apply to the Pope for an indulgence, which,
after the good deeds doing for the church in Spain, will not
be refused.
Madame du Cayla is disliked by the Duchess d'Angon-
leme. She is not devout enough for the taste of her Royal
Highness and her friends; hut the most fanatic Ultra does
not decline her services, or murmur against her power. She
platted Peyronnet in the Cabinet, and maintains Viliele In
the Presidency. In the late fete Villele sat on her right
hand.

We hear that Mr. Stockdele, the bookseller of Pall.
mall, bas just come unexpectedly into a large fortune,by
the death of an uncle. it is also singular that within
forty-eight hours of the announcement of the first, a
second windfall should have come in, still more unex-
pectedly. By the latter he is said to become the patron
of a Borough, which returns two Members; and it is
far from improbable that he may take a seat in the
House of Commons before the termination of the present
Sessions.—Worning paper.)
