An Amusing Memoir, Full of
Anecdote.

Paris, July IS
"Talleyrand ct La Societe Euro
peenne Vienne, Paris, Londres, Valen-
cay" is the title of a new book about
the ablest diplomatist that France pro-
duced since Richelieu. This work. writ
ten by NJ. Frederic Loliee, and published
by Emile Paul, is a counterpart Of the
volume "Talleyrand ct Ia Societe Fran
caise," which appeared a year ago. One
finds here a picturesque procession of
portraits of the leading men and women
of the day. with abundance Of personal
traits, smart sayings and anecdotes.
There was a sigh Of relief in Europe
after the fall of Napoleon. Talleyran1.
with his marvellous insight and versa
tlity, played his cards with astounding
finesse. Louis XVIII soon became
alarmed at his ascendancy. one morE-
ing the King remarked TO his all-power-
full diplomatist: Il greatly admire,
prince, your influence on everything that
has occurred I'm France. But I never
could understand how Il was that you
managed 10 pull down the DIRECTORY and
afterward to lay low the colossal power
of the empire!' Mon Dieu.' replied
Talleyrand, II never really had much to
do with destroying either the Directory
or the empire, but what Is ineXplicable
is that l have something in me that
never fails to bring disaster to the gov
cInmonts that neglect me!' This was
an adroit and timely warning to the
superstitous old King.
At the Congress Of Vienna Talleyrand
obscrved why, 1t seems to me that
am the only one here who has nothing
TO ask for; / don't want anything, and
| repeat it" II was at Vienna that his
niece, the Countess de Ptrigord, after
ward Duchess de Dino. dazzled society
by her wit and brilliancy. Talleyrand
was very busy and used TO receive his
