ters and standing ofthose who are engaged in the scenes of the present revolution.- Many have been passed over because the public were possessed ofevcry information necessary to eIucidate their conduct. La Fayette and his gallant son, Constant, Villelc, Hyde De Neuville, and Marmont, are well known. Those we have sketch- ed were not so much, SO. In conclusion we shall rapidly glance at a few others who would form subjects for volumes rather than brief essay. 't r. a s
 Andrew Dupin, the Deputy, was born in f78S, and was bred a lawyer. In 1915 he moved to revise the constitutional laws of France, he opposed the proclaiming of the young King of Rome. defended the un- fortunate Ney, and also Sir Robert Wilson, and the other deliverers of Lavallette.- He is powerful speaker, has been a bold debater in the chamber, and is the brother ofthe celebrated engineer Charles Dupni, who is much better known in this country than himself. -A'"' 7> -"' .''..'.

 The Duke de Coigny, another oi the commission, has always till now been the sincere friend of the Bourbons. He op- posed the revolution, followed them in their retreat, rejoiced at their return, re- ceivcd honorS at their hands, and has al- ways been considered as brave soldier and true gentleman of the old school. If he has taken sides with the constitutional- ists, ,adieu to tue hopes of the Bourbon race.

He was representative during the " 100 days" has since been constant ly reelected, and has proved himself a genuine friend of liberty. s., .4-.a .
