Not withstanding this, it is said tt tt'he had such a pique against the Clergy as to be in. fluenced by it in his motion in 1809, before the Constitu. tional Assembly, for the conliscation of all Church pro. petty. ! This measure gained him great popularity at Paris, fho’ it was productive of deep distress in the departments, and jq May of the following year he was chosen one of the inemberss of that Diplomatic Committee, which, under the influence of Mirabeau, presented the famous decree, that France renounced for ever all conquests—a decree cheerfully sanctioned by the ill-fated Louis, who also joined willingly in that superb National Confederation, which took place io the champ de Mars on the 1 Ith July, 1730. On this occasion, Talleyrand made his appearance iu the procession at the head ot 200 priests, all in costume of white linen, decorated with the three-cyl on red ribbon, for the purpose of consecrating the standards aj\d colours of the departments, under the appellation'of the sacred banners of liberties. At the very opening of the ceremo. py, a circumstance took place w hich some considered as ominous, for jnst as mass was commencing a violent storm of wind and rain came on, which, however, did not pre. vent the National Bishop from finishing his coisecretion. at this period, the Clergy of France endeavoured to rend, dir themselves independent of the Pope, deny mg him the Hi pow< rof consecrating the Bishops, and claiming it fin t.ieir metropolitans, on which occasion it is generally believed that nothing but Talley rand’s limitless, some say intrigues, could have carried theuiuas -re t.iruugb the o foaition which it met wi’h.—lf he was dispos’d to giu dependence to the t I rgy, he is also accused of bi i , tile a thor «xf that impolitic decree which produc. J it' dis. tiicrions of CoustiUitiunal and No’jming Ulcig tn rough. ¦ | out France—a dectee winch rouuceu un cii »d, but which wc hope he wtil new have tL • good st use to nine. r ’ dv, ifhe be permitted to retain the pow rt» do so.— In 179!, without advocating the , ru’.i; es which he sup. ¦ ported, we must allow that lie disj laird great abilities in his reports on the subject of Publii Instruction, whici were printed by order of the Assembly; perhaps, now. ever, these were too fantifu 1 , but they certainly hud not a fair trial, owing io the unhappy events which took place M soon aft er w aids ; and in the same year he was parti. r cularly noticed ma famous monitory from the Papal Con. f clave, in w hich he was sty led an impious w r tcii for im. position of sacrilegious hands upon lhe new Coiistitutii.m'l f Bishop of Versailles, he in fact being the onl Bishop that ( offered to perform that ceremony.—According to a very ill judged decree of the National Assembly . no man coni; occupy any public employment for some years who .tad been a member of the first Assembly. We need not dciao the fatal consequences of this decree, w hich thus brought men into power who otherwise would not have possessed it, but who were the fatal instruments of all the blood* sc ires of the Revolution, aided by a few of the oih< r; it is sufficient to *iy that it prevented Talleyrand fro ocCujying any public situation, though by means of a übterfnge he actually came Ambassador to En land, whilst Chauvetin nominally held that office. In that si nation, he is accused of having been extremely li.>s»ile (.> Eri’ish hh rty ~a feeling wh-eh w« trust has m> longer a place ii ho breast; but it w ould be endless to notice ail the charges against him at that time, • v,n from tnv French patrious IfWuselves, whoasser'ed thot ail nis pairiotem sprang from Ida inability to pay his d._ i.t>! Without cvammiiig too arrow ly into his motives, it is suilici nt to say that Ro. jkspierre procured an act of o itlawry agiinst him whiis Ae was resident i > England ; and as our Govertmi. m did «Bot cliuse to permit him to stop Io ger here, he found i: • necessary in 1793 to procvid to Am rt, however, leave England at the same .me with Chauveloi, having produced some documents tnat actually proved him to bean agent of the Kmg i.imMf by special appointment. Jt was in cons qiience of his letters to Louis, w inch were intercepted, that the outlawry was pronounced against him; but, in 1795, this decree was reversed; soon aft r v hich he returned to Europe, arriving at Hamburgh in 1796, where he stopped for some time before he ventured to Paris, on his return to which capital it is said that he was very much courted, and that Madame de Stael, in particular, introduced him every where; for having been a great traveller during his temporary banishment, and be. ing the only man of note who of late years had returned to that capital of curiosity, his conversation was very much admired, and his opinions on foreign aliairs were Considered as oracles.—He was, soon after this, chosen a Member of the Institute, and appointed one of their Secretaries, in which situation he miked polities with science, having read a memoir at one of their sittings in 1796, in w hich he attempted to shew the necessity of a new Com. inereial Treaty with* America, his arguments being stated to be the result of his personal observations in that country..-—When in June, 1797, he was appointed, on the re. tignation of La Droix, to be Secretary for Foreign Affairs, it is said that this took place through his interest "With Barras and Rcveilliere, but that Rew bell, the other. Director, was very averse to it On this occasion, the Pari* newspapers, which never neglected the opportunity of raising a laugh even in the most horrible times, gave a detail of a curious scene soon after his appointment, in which “the Bishop of A ntun with his blue national uni. form and sabre, presented to his masters, one morning, the Envoy of the Pope, and the Ambassador of the Grand Signor.” —Of his diplomatic and political exertions at this period, we may observe that it is generally believed that .Talleyrand was the person who, in order to allay the jea. lousy of the Directory, and also to gratify the ambition of Ngpoleon, perhaps also to give it wholesome employ . Bent; first brought forward, in the autumn of 1797, the plan for the Invasion of Egypt, whilst thd emissaries whom he had dispatched to Malta prepared the way for the very easy conquest of that Island by Bonaparte. The destruction of the French fleet'at Aboukir, hi 1798, proceeded great clamour against Talleyrand, who then became very unpopular with the Jacobin faction, a party who were so powerful!, and so displeased with his conduct at the Treaty, or Congress of Rastad, that he was forced to resign, nominally at least, for it is confidently asserted his influence with the directory was still so great as to enable him to appoint Rheinhard for his successors, who o«t* nsibly perfoimed that duty whilst Talleyrand exercised all the power of the office.—Of the Consular Revolution which soon after took place, lie and Sieyes are said to have been the principal projectors; and he was afterwards par. t,cularly useful to Napoleon in the tianquillizing of la Vendee, in which service, however, he is accused of having used such means as were neither reputable to him as a man nor as a Minister. From that period he was constantly employed in the various diplomatic arrangements at Lune, vilie, and Ratisbon, and also •miens ; nay, we all may remeuiber his famous negociations with America, i i which X. Y. and Z. made such a ligure! Nothwith. landing all this, he was gemrilly supposed to have been partial to the reca of the Bourbons, before Napoleon as. ¦umed the purple. Indeed it has been asserted, that the Ex. Emperor not only . deceived Great Brita.n and other Powers, tut also Talleyrand himself, into a belief that the restoration of that taimlly was actually his own intention, until (tie Imperial Coronation proved what the Usurper’s intentions were. Talleyrand was now elevated to the highest dignities which Napoleon could confer upon him; and it is said tha* he even proposed to make him a Ca dinal, in humble imitation of those of the Louises, whose Ministers, Rich, i n, Mazarin, and Fluty, had al held that rink.' The I x. Bishop w .is,-however, tinwil ing to return into th. Los.in of th ¦ churchy wishing rather to repose on that ot Mad irne le Grand ; and as he intended to give a more solemn com; ict to his union with that Lidy, than had hiinerto existed bvt veen them, we are informed that he ob. served to Napoleon, that these Cardinals were all Prince Ministers, but that theGreal Henry had noCardinals for a Minister, only aJriendm his Mm.sterKully: a comp'iment which immediately promised for him the liny crial perm'issi >n to m ike Madame le Grand, what people in "Hyland may call, “an honest woman,” —hut whom, we '» here, the 1*0..e has hitherto rduegd to acknowledge as himL. • h iifh‘tand ng all the obligation which Talleyrand owed <>> N >p Jeon, i' is extremely pr ih tblc (in human | <•<>!; I'jdry ) >i ‘ .e ht»'er, if ht hud taken his advice with r ard io ari. might at this morn ut Lave been indebted to /«' -for the present po; ssion of his dia lem ; for we have ¦eet> it rarticiiLrly m ationed, that the strenuously op. used all N ipohoii’s measures towards that ill-fated but now independent Country. it is indeed stated, that he gave his opinion publicly on the subject, and that one day at a public levee, when Bonaparte had the impudence to isk him if a i intimacy had not once subsisted between Madame Talleyrand and the Prince of Asturias, he boldly answered—“We must not talk of the Spanish Princes, fha' subject w ill not add either to your Majesty’s glory oi ‘o mine.'’—And is has been asserted on the authority of ev ’ -wifnsses, that the Em xror never looked so silly in ins life as he did ti”on that re.Jy ; hut he had not then id hi< .4bdiia'wn \ It has been said, that this advice, with respect to S, ain, was absolutely, lhe cause of Talley. • a id’s temporary disgrace with \u\imperious Master, who icfiially gave him thesuperintendMiice of part of the Spanish Roy.al Family, whil-t prisoners in France, as a kind of wi> ifbit, nt ; aid this we are not stfrprised at, if it he true (and indeed 'recent farts serin to confirm it,) that at all times 'lhillcy rand would much rather have nerved Bourbon nan a R • l ,nbli<*, although he so frequently took the oath of hatr> this system, and the extensive knowledge resulting from it, which we are told was one of the prominent causes of his great influence with the whole of Napoleon’s Cabinet, as well as with former ones; for it is said, that he was in the habit of giving to the Government as his opinion, that whicn he well know to be a fact, in consequence of his intelligence being much earlier than (bat which was received at lhe bureaux of the Ministry ; so that when the secondary information arrived, the Vice Grand Elector was considered as a kind of political Porphet.— It would seem, indeed, as if Napoleon was jealous of his talents in this way, and of their success, as he actually forbid Talleyrand to send out any Agents whatever without his knowledge, on pain of being disgraced. Yet for years Napoleon dared not execute that threat—ifhe has done if since, he now must feel that it was perhaps one of (he most injudicious acts of his life.—Even to the very last, Talleyrand has borne the public charactir of one of his advisers; and it has been asserted, (hat Napoleon’s obstinacy in refusing to agree to the terms offered to him by the Continantal Powers on their ent ance into France, was absolutely owing to his advice, as Talleyrand well knew that it was the only node to ensure bis Wedonot pledge ourselves for the fact; but if it is correct, it certainty gives the Prince of Benevento an additional claim upon thegratit ido of France, together with his conduct as one of the Provisional Government, in w hich he so ably planned ani executed the greatest Revolution w hich cab be rec'o. ded in the page of History.—With respect to Talley rand’s conduct on the unhappy events in 1793, wc have forborne to make any remarks. The best policy both f>r France and England may peihaps be to forget all these rcgicidal acts. If Talleyrand really preferred a Bourbon to a Republic. Let us hope that the revolutionary terrors of that time may have impelled him and may others to consent to atroc ties w hich, under happier circumstances, th *y would have shrunk from. Indeed, it would appear from some accounts that we have seen of him, that he was actually in England at the t.me of the trial and murder of the unban, ny Louis.—We may add, that lie joined to his other offices, already enumerated, that of Vice Arch Chancellor of Stare, and that his political income, under the Napoleonic regime, amounted to one million of litres !

JZriy s.—The Vienna Gazette furnishes us with a mo e particular account of the convention between the A. el Courts and Bonaparte; which convention Mr. AVhitbnail alluded to yesterd'y, putting certai i questions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who did notikvm it proper to reply to them. By this convention, to which the pro. visional Government of France acceded, N ipoleon, as our readeas know, made a formal rnunciaiion of the crowns of France and ltd y, receiving in exchange the Isle of El. ba and a pension to him and the members of his family. The Duchies of Farina, Placentia, and Guastalla are to be ceded in full Sovereignty to 'he Archd-tcbcss, eras she is called in ihe Ffs/i/ra the Em ress Maria Louisa, who transmits th m to her sou, the ci-devant king of Rome, who is immediately to take the t*tie of Prince of Parma and Placeii'ia.

The Epervier brig of war, which was captured fas it now appears J by the United States’ brig Peacock, ha* safely arrived at Savannah, and stated to have had 120,000 dollars on board—The former is said to have 5'3 men killed and wounded in the action. Jamaica.— We are sorry to announce that Caps. St ickpoole, of the Stutiru frigate, of 38 guns, fell o i 1 n*usday morning in a duel with a Lieutenant of the Royal Navy at Mosquito-Point. A Coroner’s Inquest was held shortly afterwards on the body, .when a verdict was returned that “the deceased came to his death by a ball fired from a musket ©r pistol by some person or persons un. known.” During a thunder storm at Mantua on theSOth March, a flash of lightning penetrated the theatre, 400 people were in the house, 2 of whom were killed, and 10 were struck senseless, but afterwards recovered. The electric fluid melted the brasswire, also several gold and compo. sition ear-rings and watch-keys, without hurting the wearers, and split the diamonds of two ladies of rank. Many females were carried out of the theatre, and, it was supposed, would nevvr wholly recover the shock they had sustained. A small island in the Archipelago, called by the Turks “Solomon’s island,” and which was 36 miles in diameter —disappeared in the night of the 26th January.
