VIlt COBBET"P AND TALLEYRAND.

 the world as Talleyrand, has paid his respects to the latter, in a short introductory note, which, is only intended to briug on the war 0, words he is about to wage with his veteran cotemporaiy No two men in Europe have been trained tol greater perfectionin their separate spheres, orI dealt more intensiyely in the black and red work of ink shed and blood shed, than these TO fed old sinners. If the proFefb be true, that .shoncst men will recover their rights whei. thieves fall out, what exceeding great rewards arc to be restored to the plunderedhumane race. If Cobbett will but tell all he knows of Talley- rand. .and Taleyrand only tell theh half that hehas| done. the historian of Europe will have morel interesting materials to begin with than theI generations which preceded Hume, Robertson and Gibbon.
 Cobbett. who has been known as Peter Por- eapine. during the rebellion in Ireland, has fought under various coloTs for half a century past. but has always been in opposition. Tai Iieyrand, on the contrary, has always been prov Iident enough to move with and to head the strongest paftq and il, the exterainating vars which grew out of the French Revolution, Tai llevrand and the King of Ferrors were every where recognized as presiding together. Tal- leyrand was once in this country, and travelled
 
 whose religion he no doubt embraced, eat their eodGsh and cheese most heartily, and left upon record 1he ecclesiastical fact, that their bAte ia-rS were the best adapted to theconditon ofa soaor- ai and religious people, Crossing over into Can ada, he wore cardinals hat, and being onc Of the rice regets of Cod npoa eafth, he heard con fcssions in the cathedral of Quebec, aad from vcspers to matins administered to the church of Rome. But the inquities of Europe called for his services, and the destroying angel led him back to France, where he planned the expedition to T1gypt. and the pyramids and promoatores along the Nile beheld the bloody conflicts be | tween the deeeadants of Mahomet and ol the Crusaders At Marengo and Austertz, at Borodino and at the Berezina, this visible be- ing and the King of Terrors were jointly asso- ciated. At Lcipsic, Lutzen and staterloo-at Milan. and the Congress of SoYereigns at V CT ona, TalIeyrand saw all their movements as plainly as the men on a chess board. All this time old Cobbett was at his up bill work; bela- boring all parties, and pelted in turn by Wings and Tories, ny Radicals and Royalsts, by Fed. eralists and Democrats, by Christian and Pagan, l by Jew and Quaker, on both sides of the At ! lantic. No two men are more characteris ltic of their nations. Goblet frets over hi;

 is never stubborn, and never sho ows a decided preference or objection for one part of he dra ma more than another. Always yielding--al
 ways piant, he oilends no one, and keeps il power by the very means that keeps others out Iltisalmost time to conclude that these two mel are immortal and al the end ofthe first hundre, : years of their lives, there will be transmIgra
 of souls.
