 MEMOIR OF THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.

 ' Noso King of the French. This prince, whose history is one oil the most curious, "romances of real life, is the son of the famous Duke of Orleans who was the guest of the Prince of Wales. and whO took SO hef and conspicuous a part in the Revolution. His friends say that the father was much belied, anu 1t is probable that he wasso; his character for improvidencc and debaichery tended to injurc his reputation in every thing; but

 the man who was thus notorious, and who voted for the death of an amiable though unwise King, his near relation, is not likely to have had any very, noble object in view. Louis Philip of Orleans, called in his fathers lifetime the Duke de CharIres, was born at Paris the 9th of October, 1773, and at 9 years of age put under the care of the celebrated Madame de Genls, who became, singularly enough, his chief tutor, presiding over the whole ofhis edu- cation till he was 17. The young Prince was trained well in bodysas well as mind; he practised gymnastc exercises; he learnt to swim, and he dcspised eGeminacy; was taken to sec and rejoice in the de- struction of the Baslile; and encouraged, on every occasion, to estimate himself in proportion as he was a genuine teiluw- creature. e. .t...,.. ... In l7SS, during tour with Madame de Genlis and his sister, Mademoisellc dor leans, into Normandy, he, assisted at tie destruction of the Prisoners Cage at Mount St. Michael, in which a Dutch Ga zettecr had been shut up for IT years fur writing against Louis XIV. In 1791, he entered the national service as Colonel of the regiment which he had nonlinalIy conn manded as Prince aud had the good fortune of saving tho life of a non-juring priest, who was accused of having derided a procession headed by a constitutional priest. Some time af,or he saved man from drowning, and was decreed civic crown for his courage and humanity by the city of Vendome. It was on this occasion he wrote letter to Madame do Genlis, thanking her for his having been taught to swim. Next year he saw active service,a- gaiDst tho Ansirians had charge of an important position of the battle of Valmy under kellerman, afterwards Duke ofthat name, whose heart was lately deposited in the field .here and, about six weeks af- rewards, was among the foremost and gall lantcst of the warriors at tue famous battle of Gemappe. The year following, after variety of other services, he became mix cd up, in spite of his liberal opinions, with the troubles occasioned by his rank aud family; was obliged to fly the country, and his resources being exhausted, actually be- came professor of mathematics in the cOl- 1 iege of Grisons at Coirc, under the name of Corby. His Highness was in this situ- alton for the space of fifteen months and is so proud of the recollection, that he has a painting descriptive of tin his palace, to

 which he delights to refer. This IS the man for King. The author of his life, in the " Biographie nouvelle des Conten'- porains," says, he was at the college eight months but the editor of Madame de Genls' Memoirs" who probably had more immediate information, says fifteen. He taught" says the former, ' geography, his tory, mathematics, and the French and En- glish languages. Nobody knew him :; the simplicity of his manners did away all sus- picion of his rank it was to himself a. lone that he won the regards of his enl- ployers, and the gratitude of those whom he instructed.'' The Duke has an hon orable certificate of his services in this ca- pacity. He left college to act, in the same country, as aid-de-camp to his friend Cen eral de Montcsquieu, still underhis assumed name but his secret being in danger, was again compelled to betake himself to a wandering life. His friends furnished him with little money, which he luckily knew how to economise. He went to Copenha- gen; saw Elisinore and the Garden, oi Hamlet (of whom he had doubtless read) l; passed into Sweden and Norway visited the Mahlstrom or Great WhirlpoOl,i ,in spite of the dangers attending its approach |;

 travelled in Lapland, partly on foot, to

 witness thirteen degrees ofthe pole; trav- ersed Finland, but did not choose 10 trust himself in the hands of Caiharine turned
