PRINCE TALLYRAND

Farls papers having announced thai
tnls extraordinary character has completed
Memoirs" of his eventful life and times
winch ne is said to have bequeathed to
MS nephew and successor, under an in.
junction to publish them ten years after
ms decease. 1t is quite unnecessary we
'hlnk to recount the varied and important
parts which Prince Tallyrand has filled
from the dawn of the French Revolution
n M n'oy, to the present day. and the
ali me various Governments of France,
and which prominently qualify him to be-
come better historian of many interest
ing events in France, than any other liv-
ing man. These memoirs we think will
also be of much cis-atlantick interest as
many of cur readers will recollect, in adj
dition to the part he took ON American
affairs when he held the office of French
Foreign Minister, that at the commence
ment of the French Revolution, when
Bishop of Autun, he emigrated to the
United States. He resided some months
in Boston and we mention as reminis-
cence of his industry in the acquisition of
information and care to preserve it, that
he was constant visiter of the office OF
this paper, and having obtained permits
sion, not only read every one of our ex-
change papers, CONSUMING in the peru
sal several hours daily,) but taking copi-
GUS notes of the contents even of those
most remotely printed. Without eyes,
dropping, we ascertained that these notes
were principally confined to statistical
and historical particulars. We can men,
ton as sample, that on one occasion he
took notes of an advertisement published
in Bennington paper-the only one
then issued in Vermont-for the sale of a
million of acres of land, and copied all
the prominent descriptions of the tract,
terms of sale, and conditions of settlement.
We particularly recollect the neatness Of
the entries in his Port Folio, and our sur
prise that an emigrant Bishop should be-
stow so much labour in the collection and
preservation of facts which we considered
to be of a, very uninteresting nature. We
nave no doubt that he made at the time a
very valuable collection of facts, and that
they will be embodied in his Memoirs
When these will be made publick we Can
make no conjecture; as we know that al
the last date, he continued in the full dis.
charge of his functions as Grand Chamber.

THE GRATITUDE OF A JEW.

Many years ago, NIB. then young man
having just entered into business for him.
self as matchmaker, in Cripplegate(upon
a borrowed capital of thirty pounds) was
applied to by young Jew to supply him on
credit with few watches. The Jews
father, who had very bad opinion Of his
son, hearing of the circumstance, waited
on Mr.. B., told him not to trust his son,
for he was very bad young man, had
cheated his own father, and would not
fail to cheat him too, if he had any deal
ing with him. Notwithstanding this adj
monition, Mr.. B. was induced to credit
the young Jew with watches, value fifteen
pounds, being the exact half of his whole
stock, and was soon after informed that
his customer was in jail, and could not
pay his creditors one farthing. The old
Jew, upon this, waited upon Mr.. B. up
braided him for not taking his advice, and
told him he could never get sixpence of
his money, as his son had spent every
penny, and had even pledged his clothes
to support him in Jail; and that he, (the
father, had no money to purchase him a
coat and breeches, although his creditors
had agreed to let him out of prison. Mr..
B. though greatly affected at the loss of
half his capital, still felt for the miserable
situation of his debtor, and to the surprise
of the old man, Immediately bought him
an old suit of clothes which he desired
him to carry to his son, that he might be
able to appear in the world, and again try
to get his bread. The old man could not
say word, but departed with tears
in ibis eyes, carrying Mr.. BIS unde-
served bounty to his worthless son.
The young man being afterwards released
from prison, went into the country with
few lemons, and never after was seen by
My. B. The trade of the latter, however,
soon began to increase. In less than
week after this transaction, he received
an order from person in Worcester for
three watches, which were to be sent to
person in Bishopsgate street, where he
would receive the money on the delivery
of the goods; in few days more he re-
ceived another order from Gloucester to
be sent and paid for in the same manner.
In fact, scarcely week passed in which
Mr.. B. did not hear of some new customer
to such an amount, that his trade soon
became very extensive, without his know
ing by what means he had been SO sue
cessful till, at length, curiosity induced
