When bilhop, Ialleyrand was a joeber:
fincehe poheGed the key TO all the poli'i-
cal tfansaefis which 70 much influence
the finances Of all countries, his ipecula-
tions in different funds have procured him
fortune greater than he dare, TO ack-
nowledge, or Bonaparte iulpccfs. -lhis
fortune has been coniiderably augmented
by his many negotiations, in particular
thofc about the throne in Tuicany,~ the
indemnities in Germany, and Loulliana,
in America.


Becauie the former kings of France,
Loaiis ls, ID, and IS, made their minlit-
ers, Richelicu, Mazarine, and Fleury,
cardinals; Bonaparte propoled to raliey-
rand'laR year; to procure him the fame
dignity Taileyrand had, however,
given his promils to marry his former mir
trels, the divorced wife OF a Mr.. Grand
when, therefore, this propoial was made,
he cunningiy anfwered, that thole cardi-
nails were PRIME rninilters, that the great
Henry ". had 10 cardinal for nliliter,
but a friend in his miniier only. The
fame day he obtained the conlular per-
milton to marry madame Grand.


From debauchery, intemperance and
gluttony, TaiIeyrands' contribution is en-
tirely broken, and his health defroyed !;
and the invalid fuffers daily for TIE excef-
fes and the vices of which he has been
guilty. !.


Talleyrand's invct-racy againlf England
is proverbial but it does not originate
from the love of his own country, but
from envy to the profperity of England.
Hewould willingly fgn the ruin of France,
was he certain that of England fhould fol-
low.


TalIeyrand has talents, but the revolu-
tion, fortune and circumstances, have pro-
cured him opportunities to exhibit them
to the greatelt advantage under aregu-
lar government he would have been but
an Indifferent miniiter; under revolu-
tionary tyranny he is great Ratelman
and a political oracle and thofe very Vi.
ces which would have injured him under
the one, are the principle caufes of his
great tuccefs under the other. But an
impartial poiterity, without our pa6ions
and our interef, will place him in his true
rank, in. that of traitor, rebel, and an
apotate.
