MEMOIR OF CHARLES X.
From, the Etoiis

The king who is destined to console us mn
der our Affections, Charles Phillp, wa5 born
at Versailles on the 10Th of October, 1857,
when he received the title Of Count d Artois;
he was the Youngest son of the then Dau-
phin. and was remarkable in his early days
for the vivacty of his spirit. He had the
misfortune to lose, at a very early age, one Of
the wsest of fathers, and the most Kind Of
mothers, and this double loss deprived him
of that advice and authority 50 necessary for
calming and directing the ardour Of the pas
sions.
His education being finished, he was mar
1ied on the 10th of November, lIS3, 10 the
princess Maria Theresa, Of Savoy, no WAS
born OH the 31st January, I7j6, and tAe'e-
fore ,gas a little older them himself. This
union produced three children, first ad0ugh-
ter. who died in childhood, and also two
Princes, who received the titles of Duke de
Angouleme and de Berry. His frankncss,
the amiability of his manners, the generosity
of his character, conciliated every one who
had the honor to approach him. 1t is evil
dent, from the correspondence oil y. adam Eli
zabeth, which has been published by Count
Eerrand, what an exalted idea this Princess
entertained to her brother. She had perceiv-
ed in his ardent and sensible mind whatever
ty should present itself Tor developing his
brilliant qualities.
In l777 the count d'Artos paid a visit ID
the western ports. and during the American
war he repaired to the camp Of st. Roch il
order TO take part in the siege OF Gibraltar.
Long before the period Of the revolution, the
Prince gave his decided opinion against the
projects OF the factions, who on their part
considered him no obstacle to the accomplish
ment of their views, and who consequently
made it a point to represent him in the most
unfavorable light The populace were MIS-
led by most absurd rumours; and such was
the turbulence OF the public mind, Oh tie
14th July, 1889, that Louis XVI, himself al
yised his brother to retreat for the moment
from the impending storm. Count d Art0is
then parted from the Prince, his sons, and
repaired to Turin where the King Of oartIina,
his father-n-law gave him an asylum. he
following year the prince had an interview
at Mantua, with the Emperor Lcopole. In
1871 he repaired to Worms with the Prince
de Conde, anC, the Marshall de Brogi9. wAQ
were received at BRUSHES by the Arch-Du-
chess Maria Christiana, and at Vienna by
Leopold His interview at Plnitz, 27th Au-
gust, 1871, with the Emperor and KING Of
Prussia, showed that those Sovereigns had
began to concert measures for stopping tho
progress of the revolution; and, i'll cpnse-
Quence, the Constituent Assembly, ard that
which followed it made several decrecs a
sainst this Prince ; his possessions were scil-
ed, and the allowance, of one million per an
mum, due to him by the constitution, was
withdrawn--Louis XVI. was only able to
give 200, 900 francs year for the support OF
his two nephews at Turin.
After the death of the King, (I4ouis %NI)
Count d'Artois was appointed BY his brother
Lieutenant General of the Kingdom. He
repaired to St. Petersburgh, where he was
very handsomely received by the Empires
Catharine, he then rejoned his brotGe,
(Monseur) at Ham, and resided successive
ly in different cantonments Of Wcstphalia
Touched by the situation of so many French,
men, who had lost every thing in adheriMg t,
him, the Prince, tCharles X transmittct
to Marshal de Breglio, his medals, his da
monds, and even the sword of his son, d
recting him to dispose Of these treasures, ,ant
to distribute their produce among the poor
est Of the emigrants. 1t was not until thu
year 1894 that the English government hat
assured the Prince of a suitable maintenance
The following year the prince was enabled
to repair to England. He embarked tn,
27th July, 1875 at Cuxheaven and after ;
short stay in England, he sailed from Ports
mouth on the 25th Aug. on board the Jasol
frigate. He was accompanied by grca
number of Royalsts, among whom was M
De La Laurencie. Bishop Of Nantz. rhe,
were accompined by one hundred and fift
transports. But the disaster of Quibero
had already taken place, and the tragica
fate of those emigrants who first landed ther
was known. Monsieur landed at the Isl
