The Comto de MontaIembert.
cable dispatch from Paris brings US the
intelligence that the ultramontane journals
of that city were In mourning yesterday for
the death of the Comte de Montalemoert
for many years distinguished in the relig-
ious and political controversies of France,
and one of the most powerful writers in
the ultramontane ranks.
Charles Forbes de Tryon, Comte de
the 10th of March, 1870 His father, Mare
REM Marie de Montalembert, served in the
British army, with great credit, having
acted during the Spanish campaign on the
staff of the Duke of Wellington. The son
was educated in the best schools in Paris,
and before he was twenty years of age had
written small work on Sweden, which in
troduced them to the literary circles of that
metropolis, and led to an acquaintance with
GulZot. From this time he began to gam
notor1ety tor his liberal views on religion
and politics, and in 1880 was associated
with Lecordaire in the establishment OF the
democratic and ultramoptane journal
L LAdUersir.
The doctrines of this publication came
under the censorship of the Roman See,
and during the examination Montalembert
and his tellow-editors went t. Rome to
plead their own cause. They met with
very little success, and in the course OF
another year LAUenir was given up. Its
founders did not, however, abandon their
liberal ideas, but in conjunction with de
Coux, established free Catholic school, in
which they continued to disseminate the
opinions which they had adopted. This
was soon closed by the police, and its
directors arr.igned before one OF the infe-
rior tribunals of Paris for violation
of the ordinance on public instruc-
ton. In the meantime Montalem-
bert's father, who had been raised to the
Peerage in 1919, died, and he succeeded to
his tItle III June, 1881. He then availed
himself of the privileges of his rank, ano
had the case transferred to the Court OF
Peers, where he conducted his
own defense. Notwithstanding a bril-
liant speech which he delivered on that
occasion, the youthful Comte was con-
demned to pay a fine of 100 francs. For
several yeals thereafter he devoted
himself to the study of the history of the
middle ages. and in 1886 published
legendary Life of st. Elizabeth, of Hun
gary, Duchess of ThurIngia," with his
torical introduction. An essay, s'Du Vdga-
ddlisme ct du CdthoLicisme dams les arts, APP
peared in 1910, and from that time for
ward Montalembert became well known
as powerful. writer on the religious and
political questions of the time. In 1910 his
age entitled him to the rights and privileges
OF n member of the Chamber of Peers, and
be frequently took part in the debates Of that
body, generally espousing the cause OF the
church when any controversy arose in
which its interests were involved. When

his III inifest CothoLique. and became the
recognized leader of the Catholic party.
| On the breaking out of the revolution In
| l848 he issued an address, in which he
| avowed himself in favor of a Republic,
and was elected a Deputy in the ConstitU-
ent Assembly for the Department OF
| Doubs. He did not, however act with
the extreme Democrats, but preserved
moderate course, growing more and
more conservative as events progress

| Louis Napoleon, and voted against the
new constitution, at the same time sup
porting the bill for the restriction of tue
press Being returned to the Assembly

Doubs aud Cotes du Nord, he engaged in
some brilliant forensic contests with Victor
| Hugo, and in June, 1851 had a famous de-
| bate with that great orator and author on
the revision of the constitution. He CON
tinued his hostility to Louis Napoleon and
the Imprisonment of the Deputies He
remained in tue Legislative body until 1857,
since which time he has lived mostly in
retirement, engaged on important literary
works. He contributed frequently TO the
columns of the Correspondent and for an
article published in that journal on the
25th of October, 1858, entitled "a Debate
on India in the English Parliament" in
which he drew some invidious compari-
sons between England and France, he was
prosecuted and sentenced. and after the
coup etdt protested against to six months
imprisonment and fine OF three thousand
francs, which penalties, however, were re-
nitted by the Emperor. Besides i'm.
