BIOGRAPHY of TALLEYRAND. 
es leading character of Talleyrand during the French re. 
volution and reign of Bonaparte, and now first mi. 
siister of that country. 
There is perhaps no subject in Europe or in the world, 
w’ho possesses more numerous titles or decorations, th*® 
Charles Maurice Talleyrand de Perigord, formerly Bis Bishop 
hop Bishop of Autun, now Prince of Benevento, and lately !-e !-e---nior 
--nior !-e---nior member of the provisional government of France; 
an office, however, w hich he has laid (low n w hiist this me memoir 
moir memoir was w riting.— Uuder the Napoleon tegirne, he was 
a Grand Dignitary of the empire, vice Grand Rhetor, 
President of the Electoral College of the Department of 
Llvle; a member of the Senate er otficio, and member of 
the National Institute; to which if w-e add that he was 
also Grand Cross of the Legion of honor, aed bears the 
insignia of the various orders of the Crown in Saxony, 
Grand t ross of the Order of Fidelity of Baden. Grand 
Cross of St. Joseph of Wursburg, Grand Cross of ths 
Order of St. Leopold of Austria, of the B ack Eagle of 
I russia, of St. Andrew in Russia, aud also of the Sun in 
Persia, it wjj be admitted that our introductory rewatk 
is correct.—lt is said that the family, of w hich he is the 
younger branch (one of the elder being actually Archbis Archbishop 
hop Archbishop of Rheims, and the confidential friend of Louts 18/A), 
is one of the most ancient in France, being descended froH 
the Sovereigns of Perigord, a. d related by 
to the House of Bourbon.—ln his youth, the army and 
the church were the only roads to fortune for the young younger 
er younger branches of noblesse; but his person rendering him 
hilly unfit for the former profession, the latter was choAt 
y. his father, and so great was the family interest, that 
at the early igo of twenty he was in possession of several 
rich abbics, and at thirty was elevated to the lawn sleeves, 
as Bishop of Autun; an elevation howeverto which, it i> 
said, that Louis very unwillingly gave his consent.-—When 
the Revolution broke out, or rather when the firet step* 
towards reform were undertaken, Talleyrand and thn
