JULLpEN,s nATaOnALITY.

Mr. Secretary Cs.s and the Presidential candidates
it seems, have not the monopoly Of tie question
Of Nationality. The question in poitic,l Natural
History as to whether native of one naton
slougfs off his nationality on migrating to anotaer,
AID whether be jumps iato bis oil skin again when
be goes back, has been stirred in France s we'll 40
America, and judclally settled. And it was no less
a person thon our old friend NJ. Julien that gave
occasion to the tri-l of this issue In whose nem-
DRY is lot that respler dent fresh as the snowy
kios he waved and bright as the diamonds that
spa Med in the fImsuen, of bis saiitfront' Ia
cur mId's'ye We see h IN row, directing his or
CELESTIAL army with baton as splendid, and more
Innocent than that Of e'er s marshal Of Francs
He was called a humbug; but be was at least
harmless one. And We do not admit that he wac
ore-for be gave oneys-.orth for money, AID the
very thing be promised. For one, We rejoced to
look up him We regarded HIM as one Of the
Representative Men Of the time, one q the his
toric.l persopases Of The period. For had not
Psnch for long tried to pct him do~n, and failed
ss ,is na ~ a. in the cases Of Lord Broughon and
Charles Kssnl A man must have cold weight in
him that can stand up against the reiterated as
saul,s of tho champion Of - Fleet street. He
ha, stood the ,est Of Iidcule hch, il not the test
Of truth, at iesst the test Of capacity in caterer
for public diversion.
We are concerned to Thick, however that oar
enthusiasm was sot shared By remuneratIse mei.i-
tudes. We believe that bis Harmonious invasion Ct
the New World was not triumph, but raider
defeat: W. hope We may be alstnkeo, but We fear
tbst we are not, ia thinking that hi. camp.go in
America was not more successful than that Of Ma
poleop--to whom be has been compared fof tie
msguislde Of lis plans and tho splendor Of his
comblastioni-in Russia, though he effected lees
ingori,us retiest at airy rate, it was not 3 b-il-
lsut success propOYsonable to the magnitude OF cs
Or. psY a,ions Ard be has not been as Successful
since lis return a, De deserved to be. We We'll
remember that he was one Of the victims OF .
Special Joint Stock Suindle, called the Eyd
Surrey Saroeus. abcat two years ago. l. yas Que
of those concerns which tue cookery Of accounts
was carried to hight Of perfection which night
have driven q inancal Vatel 10 3 suicide OF envy.
We ba7s not all the particulars fr, 80 10 niods
at this distance of tine. We only recollect that
large shoal OF eu1seons were hooked BY tae bait
of 10 Per cent, and after they we're lsoded, fouad
themselves 10 the inexigicabe hasAst of bankruptcy
Poor Julien was TIE whale among these anlacky
mInuoys, both for the woia BIZ had done aod the
mooey that h. lost 4 yeas's time, tea thousand
dollars out OF pocket for expenses, and twenty
thousand of promised .alsr. shich was pever paj1
Was the amount he had " pa.s over TO profit and

nost a,gran, yilainy AID DO Dot remember that
be and Dis fellow sufferers had satisfaction oat
Of the hide of the respectable Dire stors who or.
gsIized and carried out the ssindle But it was 5
heSsy blow and sresy encouragement to our mag
nlicent friend, from .,hich We fear he has never
whtlly recovered.
For We End that on s visit be lately paid to bis
native France, while lingering BY the banks Of the
Seine he loved 30 well, be ~ss arrested for debt
contracted in England, the oblg alton Of which had
been exported to the Gx.lc strand. We presume
it was scheme Of some perhiious sou Of Albion to
enforce his claim b. the rins forte dsrs Of st.
