We hear from Paris: ''It is well known fact
that the Memoirs of NJ. de Talleyrand, according to
his disposition, are to appear only thirty years
after his death, which will be in 1868. But the
heirs have already begun negotiations with pub
lishers who, of course, have had glance at these
papers, allowing other to have peep over their
shoulders. 1t is known now, that these curious
Memoirs contain very secret history of the house
of Austria, and throw lights Maria Louisa which
are in the highest degree interesting. 1t is said
that the heirs have been offered large sums by pub
fishers, but still larger sums by others who are not
publishers, but who would be glad to buy and con
tiscate the history of the whole world. let the
heirs have resisted the temptation and will not
deprive the spirit of the deceased of the pleasure OF
speaking the truth for once, at least, after his
death, Who knows?"

A few days since two German wagon makers of
Cleaveland, Ohio, concluded to spend some time in
"fatherland," scld out their shops and furniture,
and bought their tickets for New York. On their
way to the depot they stopped at the Post-oice for
letters, and found from their friends in the
South of Germany, begging them to Immediately
abandon the idea of coming to Germany, as the
transcription" was going on, and three at least
of the party would be pressed into the Austrian
service Immediately on their arrival. Considering
that peaceful work and good wages were more
pleasant than hard fighting and small pay, the
whole party returned to their homes.
