undergone that ceremony, and he acknowl-
edged the kings visits not as an act of
warm and private friendship, . but as a
great honor done to his house, Madame
Adelaide. sister of the king, also visited
the Prince. Messrs Theirs, Mole also at

Most of the Paris papers contain narra-
tives more or less detailed of the death of
Prince Talleyrand. The Courier Francois
states that the retraction made by the
Prince was in the form of letter address,
ed to the Pope which had been written six
months. In it he retraced the part which
he took in the constitutional mass, celebra-
ted on the day of the federation in the
Camp de Mars and this with copy was
enclosed by him to the Archbishop Of Par
is, who, according to this journal, did not
visit the Prince. When the arrival Of the
king and Madame Adelaide was announ-
ced to Prince Talleyiand, he said, "This is
the greatest honor my house ever receiv-
ed'' He then presented to his majesty his
physician, surgeon, and valet in attend
ance. At three o'clock the Able Dupan-
loup, who had not left the prince for several
days, administered the sacrament of ex-
IRENE JUNCTION to the patient, who had lost
his speech since twelve o'clock.
The first symptoms of the complaint
which carried Prince Talleyrand off, APP
peared on the 18th instant, when he was
seized with shiveriag fit, attended by re-
peated vomtings. He underwent an ope-
ration at thelower part Of the loins with
great fortitude, merely once saying, "You
give me great pain.'' He was perfectly
aware of his danger. Having asked medi
cal men if they thought they could cure
him, they rightly estimated his strength of
mind, and told him at once that he ought
to put his affairs in order, that he might
have nothing to do but to attend to his
health
The Prince, on Thursday morning see
ing his great niece, the daughter of Baron
de Talleyrand, who had just taken the
first communion, said; Such is life
There you see its beginning-here its
end. He then presented his young rela-
tive with watch.
The will of Prince Taleyrand has been
laid before the President OF the tribunal de
Premiere Instance; he has appointed his
HlGCe ,tHe DutCuCoS Inv, UNIVERSAL iC otoC,
and has left number of specific legacles
to the Duke de Valencay, his grand neph-
ew At the end of his will, which is en-
trely in his own hand writing, there is
declaration, also written by himself IN
which he exposes the political principles
which have guided his conduct in the DIFF
ferent governments which have succeeded
since 1889. 1t is said that this declara-
ton which he ordered to be read to his
family along with his will, contains some
curious exposures on the nature of the po-
ltical crisis in which he has been called
to play part. This declaration as well
as the will, was dated in l826-There is
also the most complete prohibition made to
his heirs from publishing his memoirs,
which are, it is said. deposited in England,
before the lapse of thirty years from the
day of his death, and he orders them to
disavow all which may be published in his
name before the expiring of that period.
He expressed desire to be buried at Va
lencay, and concluded his testament with
a declaration that he had died in the Ro-
man Catholic faith.
We believe we may affirm, says the
Constitutional, that his majesty continued
to grant to Prince Talleyrand, cut Of the
civil list, the allowance of f100, 900, which
he enjoyed under the restoration, as grand
chamberlain.
