Prince Talleyrand, who may be consider
ed as the greatest statesman OF France, II
our time, is altogether disgraced at Court
1t appears certain that he has advanced
some truths, which have given offence, OF
the subject OF the proceedings OF ministers
and the bad consequences which will soon ol
late result from them. Under pretence o.
establishing his health, he has gone to the
Isle of Heres, on the coast OF Provence
where he now is. 1t is to be remarked, how
ever, that he is building at Nice, in the
States of the King of Sardinia superb
house, where it is supposed, he intends es
tabishing himself. Prince Talleyrard is
very acute in political matters, and Athe
parts he played during the course of the
revolution are singular. July IA, 1890, be-
ing member of the constituent assembly,
he officiated in his Office of Bishop of Au-
tun as priest, at the Champ de Mara,
in the presence of Louis XVI. and the citi-
zens of France assembled to witness the fed
Grafton. Afterwards he emigrated to the
United States of America. AT the time
when in consequence Of a new constitution,
the executive directory of the French re-
public was established, he obtained permis-
sion to return to his country, and was soon
after appointed by the directory, minister Of
foreign affairs. Holding this Office, he gave
at his hotel a magnificent fete, in honor OF
the ambassador from Algjers; fete which
attracted the attention of all Paris, though
accustomed for several years to the sdtAr-
naha Of demagogues. On this occasion !,
very thorough jacobln paper Of that day oh
served, that ii 7va8 not astonishing Mct a ci.
devant bishop should .feass so sumhtuonsiy
the .Algerine pirates. TOR ii zyas only tami-
!y tarty. Under Napolean, when Consul
and Emperor, Prince ralleyrand was twice
minister of foreign affairs. Having disap-
proved the impolitic and unjust Spanish war
he incurred the displeasure of his master.
The bishop of Autun had already abandon
ed his mitre and crosier to enter the state
Of matrimony, and his wife was often the
object of Bonaparte's bitter pleasantries
On the restoration of the Bourbons, Prince
Talleyrand rendered them important seryi-
ces, and it is not forgotten that he was a,
Vienna when the famous Congress met il
the capital Of Austria. From that time
without playing any brilliant part, he has
been "a jealous courtier at the Tuileries
The death of Louis XVIII. and the unbound
ed power of M. de Villele, have banished
him altogether. His intelligence, his expo
rience, and his great talents, appear to have
given umbrage to the powers of the day
They fear dangerous rival, who to the
most extensive knowledge of the political
situation of Europe. and the position Of
France, joins great skill in diplomacy, tho
rough insight into business, and an acuteness
0 tact which nothing can evade.
