B1NED CIRCULATION OF ALL THE
OTHER DAILY NEWSPAPERS OF THIS
CITY.
France and America Am Extract
from the Memoirs OF Prince dc Tai
leyranG-Francea and Germany.
A Paris letter in the Gazette de Lausanne

a far1S letter IN the GQEettS Qc Lausanne
says:
You are aware that Prince de Talley-
rand left some memoirs, which were not to
be published till thirty years after his
death, and which are now in the hands Of
an eminent barrister, M. Andrat. have
been able to cast glance at them, and |
am much surprised at their contents. I
was especially struck by page relative to
the Congress Of Vienna. 1t is real pro-
phecy, and l cannot resist the temptation
Of giving you the substance of it. At that
period NJ. de Talleyrand said that the
balance Of power in Europe founded at that
assembly was menaced by great dangers
one from beyond the sea, and the other
which might arise in the heart of Germany.
Con the side of America" said the
Prince, Europe must always have her
eyes open, and not furnish any pretext for
recrimination or reprisals. America is in
cressing every day. She will become q
colossal Power, and moment must arrive
when, placed in more easy communication
with Europe by means Of new discoveries,
she will wish to say her word in our affairs,
and have hand in them. Political pru-
dence, therefore, imposes on the Govern
ments Of the old continent the care of scru-
pulously watching that no pretext shall be
offered for such an Intervention. The day
when America shall plant her foot in Eu-
rope, peace and security will be banished
for long time"
The Prince afterwards speaks Of Ger
many. Here the prediction has no longer
the form Of conjecture, but is in some
sort an anticipated recital:
"No illusion must be formed; the equi-
librium We have founded in the Congress
of Vienna is not eternal. 1t will succumb
some day or other, but it promises Us some
years of peace. What condemns it for q
term, more or less distant, is the aspirations
which are becoming universal in the centre
of Germany. The necessities Of defence
and of common peril have prepared mems
minds for German unity. This idea will
continue to be developed, and some day one
of the great Powers which form part Of the
conference will desire to realize this union
for it's own profit. Austria is not to be
feared, since she is composed of pieces and
morsels, and having no unity at home she
cannot think of exporting it. Therefore
Prussia it is that must be watched. She
will attempt the adventure, and if she sue
ceeds, then all the conditions of equilibrium
will be changed, and new bases and new
organization will have to be sought for
Europe"
The Prince continues to examine the cir
cumstances, more or less difficult, under
which this reconstruction will be effected,
and he points out France as the nation most
interested in combating the movement for
unifcation or in seeking compensation.
