Nj. Derby, Of Nassau street Is, We understand, to
be the publisher Of the Chevalier wikof's forth
coming History Of his Courtship and its Conse
quences," whi,h, all We hear stated Of its contents
be correct, viii be ono Of the most curious and ed
Tying works that has for many years issued from the
press Of this country. It will not only present the
American public with the Chsvalier's own version
Of his very remarkable and piquant love affair, and
it's unromantio and disagreeable results bu. 1t will
embody the fruits Of his reflections ON everything
and everybody of note, that have fallen under his
observation in tho course Of his strange and eccentric
career. Socially as well Is politically, therefore, the
Chevaliers book will possess peculiar interest for
oil ocofro <ho of fhA Ia
which has called it forth, being as chequered and
exciting as those Of any modern romance, and the
characters who played part in IL being some of the
most distinguished religious political, literary and
financial celebrities Of the age, comprising amongst
others, His Holiness Pho Mono, the Chevalier's
old London acquaintance, Louis Nap ,leon, Thurow
Weed and Joshua Ba:es. The Chevalier's connection

occasionally leads to SO much mystidcation and
jugglery. Lord Palmerston, that most slippery and
willy Of modern Statesmen, also comes in, We are

de plus intimes, 80 that with his well kno xn frank
ness and absence of reserve on such matters, we
have doubt that the Chevaier will do full justice
to his quondam political patron. Altogether, his
book promises to be rich treat to the lovers of
rocs and political scandal for, after the rough and
may be unfair treatment he has met WITH 1t Is not
to be expected that the Chevaier will be over nice
In DE- aling with the conduct and motives OF the
peIsonages who, is said, protracted, IL they did
not contribute to his incarceration. Until we
