‘ a AFFAIRS IN HUROPH, weer Interesting Details by the last Steamer, Our French Correspondence, The Esect of the Sequestration of the Orleans Pro- perty—Cause of the Confiscation—The Efforts to Produce an Effect in England, and the British House of Commons — The Press—Intellectwal Parties and Sou ees, §e., Fe Panis, Jan. 29, 1852. Of all the strong and violent measures which the President has taken, since the first act of the 2d of December, to the present moment—and it has been a constant succession of strong messures since that date—zone has prodaced so fatal an etfuct upon his character, nor stamped his dominion with such a mark of odium, whieh cannot bo effaced, as tho conGscation of the private property of the Vrleans family. His best friends are said to have been op- posed to this highly revolutionary and violont pro- eseding. De Morny, and the very mon who stood by him on tho 2d of December, and laid with him and carried out for him that plot which overthrew the republic and placed France at his feet, thought it time to stop, and go with him no longer, whea they saw this desperate and unjust measure re- solved upon. They resisted for a long timo, and used every persuasion to lead him from his purpose; but he was inflexible, and they rosigned. Per- sigoy, who issaidto be aman ready to do any- thing, and stopping at nothing, was immediately put in the piaceot De Morny. All! this determined and violemt conduct, instead of for the present weakening the power of tho President, only con- firms and strengthens him, for it inspires terror in all minds—it gives boldness and eonfidence to his friends—it forces the wavering and the weak inte his party, making them afraid to hesitate and ap” pear luke-warm, and it frightens his onemies. Sach are the prosent effects: but it lays upa large amount of odium and bad feeling for the future, which will burst forth like an avalancho, at the first favor- able opportunity. It is confidently asserted that a family motiva— an early predilection for a family physician—hada great deal to do with the seizure of the vinoyard of the Orleans family. The great estate of Chantilly, in the possession of the Duke of Aumale, left to him by the will of bis uncle, the Dake de Bourbon, was, atthe time of the birth of Louis Napoleon, the property of his mother, the Queen Hortensia, sister of Napoleon the First. Henco, itis highly probable that the President of France looked upon himeelf as rightfully entitled to this great and valu- able estate. Bo that as it may, yet, though the President himself bas not reflected uponthe man- ner in which his mother got this property, there aro many who think of it and call it to miad. When Napoleon seized upon the person of the Dake D’Enghien, in the territories of a neutral power, and had the unfortunate prince carried to Vincennes, where he was shot by night in one of the ditches of that fortress, he afterwards took possession of thig property of Chantilly, and made a royal present of it to his sister Hortensia. Thus, it was acquired by the same law and right by which Ahab acquired Naboth’s vineyard, viz. :—by no law nor right, but by force and bloodshed. On the restoration of the Bourbon family, this property was restored to its rightful owners—-the heirs of the unfortuaate Dake and, | believe, not by an unlawfal decree, but by the award of a proper tribunal, and decision of an im- partial jary. The Duke of Bourbon, who inherited the family estate, afterwards dying childless, lof, it, by will, to his nephew, the Duke of Aumale, one of the sons of Louis Philippe. In this manner it eame into the Orleans family, by regular descent and by will, according to the law and oustoms of the land. Hence, in promulgating his decree, by which this and other family estates are now lost forever to the former owners, the President is considerod by many as having acted with inoxcusable injustice, proving himeelf one of the worst of tyrants. They who reason upon this matter, say that his other trans- gressions against his country, or rather the coun- try which adopted him—his violation of personal liberty, his sending off the best and greatest men ofthe land to banishment, or to transportation along with felons—might, perhaps, be defenaed o excused, on the ground of political necessity or ex: pediency; but there is no such exouse for this act. The Orleans family haveleft behind them in Franc many friends; it is not forgetten that, with all his faults, Louis Philippe governed the country for 13 years in a constitutional manner; he preserved peace, and caused trade and commerce to flourish ; he left the press free, and he nevar stepped beyond the line of legality ; he governed by the laws which the Legislature made, and he respected the laws. This is a terrible contrast to the present condition of Franco, in which one individual is the law giver and tho law executioner, and. makes a dozen new laws every day before breakfast, which are made known, for the first time, to the people, by placards, posted early in the morning on the walls of Paris, and by the publication of his single “1 witt, DECREE,” inthe Monitewr. There is another fact which adds an increased moral odium to the man; acts of persecution against the Orleans family an their friends and adherents; and that is, the life to the clemency of the Philippe; for, socording to France and of every other country, his life was forfeited when he mado an attempt upon | France, and was taken prisoner in the very act. Yot Louis Philippe spared his life, and placed him in the towers of Ham, instead of letting the law | take its couree. It is believed, from certain symptoms, that tho President and his friends begin to be moved a little by the dark feeling and sinister rumors to which his measures have given rise; for an official decla- ration has ap) ana in the Montteur, stating that now thatall i raies isquict and restored to order, the l’rince President will not be under the nocessity of resorting to any more exceptional measures. ‘That is the very language used —‘‘excoptional mes sure3;” and it isin fact an acknowledgment that the government has been hitherto carried on ex- coptionally and without law. Bat who can rely, now-a-days, upon the promises of princes, and espe- cially of him who now is the master of France! I strongly suspect that a pretended anda profess- ed abandonwentof exceptional moasures will be put forward, and made a show of for atime, in view of the approaching mecting of the English Parlia- ment. Touts Napoleon knows as well as any man, that all his acts and conduct will be overhauled there with great froedom, and that he will be treat- ed with much severity of language and comment by the popular elements of the House of Commons therefore, if not by deeds, yet by words, he will give his apologiats in England, (where he will find many amon; The ultra torice) an opportunity o sayin that be isa nice, good man, and has given op alt “exceptional measures,” and only adopted them from absolute necessity. The British Parliament will moet in eight days from now, (Jan. 28,) and there is reason to believe that this show of kind and gentle language—this promise of modoration—is now put forth in the Montteur, only to prepare a blind for the members of the House of Commons. . “ But now that tho press is complotely tied aad bound in all Europe, the voise of the British Par- Lament, which onco echood over tho Continent, and gir bold lessons of freedom and constitutional iberty to the reading classes, will no longer reach the enslaved people of Europe, for now the press, in no country on the Continent, can or dare to pub- lish what, in oven worse times, they had the liberty _ of ae Yot, in # measure, the opinions ef the English Vatliament—s neighbor so near and #0 poworful— and will have some cflect upon the mind of Europe. Tyrants are afraid of light and truth, and so long as there is either of them suffered to exist in England and Amerioa, they will not be casy. Whon thoy havo settled all their aflaire at homo, thoy will direot their energios to revolutionize England, in a despotic sense, and efter that, America. A. groat contest is coming on—agtoat battle-field is proparing— the monarchs of Burope are in oarnest in thoir determination to establish what they call order, and put down what they call demagoguism. They carry on their work by calling things by. falio namos. They act upon the old proverb—“‘ (rive a dog a bad name, and thon you may hang him.” ‘They havo suo- ceeded in France, by ealling all tho poople by the name of socialists, because thero were ® fow dirty blackguards who wore, or who protonded to be, such, (as you have some olose at your hand in Now York nd under this pretences, they have put dow ¢ people of !rance etteerually, Tho events in Franco fill them with joy.

Paria is celebrated of old for intellectual partios and soirées. Some celebrated persons give them in turns, and assemblo the mon and women of genius and colobrity at their salons, at regular intervals. Hore authors and artists become known to the world and to each other; here it was that mind in France was do- veloped, and public epinion received its impres- sions ; hore it was that the intellect and gonius of France aat in social judgmont upon public men and public matters. But now notice has been given by the Minister of Police, to there and all othor simi- lar social meetings, that politios must not, on any account, be apokon of or referred to. A panio, ia consequence, hangs over all parties, even tho most private. Oae lady of distinction, at whose house several ladies took the liberty | of talking about politica in a lively, bantoring wi has, inconrequence, been banished from Pari 8 ceiving orders to retire to ber country seat This | is almost death itself to a Parisian lady of the great | world. Many of tho wine and beer shopkeepers have notices written up in their rooms, taat if any | ono speaks of politics they will be turned ont. | They are afraid of apies coming and talking politios | with affected violence, thoreby to draw out ths sen timents of others, and lead them to certain dostruo- tion. Tho only difference now betwoen the oonti- nt of Europe, undor its iron task masters, andthe | man Empire, under ita worst and mot gue nary Emperors, is this—that now thero is an Amori- ca and an England, where their deeds are scanned ata distance ; then shore waa not. But, both in America and England, they find somo ready to keep them in countenance. There is no nood and no good in violence abuse of the mon who havo ow succeeded in subjecting tho people of Eurepa, by means of standing armies; a plain statement of facts is comment strong enough for this ronson [hare made, and make, no personal remarks upon spy one, but only, like Tacitus, have rolated such facts as came to my knowledge Cruel despotism (and despotism is always crucl) is, in any shape, fearful and terrible, and noone koows whother he will be safe—whother it be despotism exercised by a lawless mob, or whether it be exercised by an individual placed above law. When violonce pre- vails above the law, and any one takes the lawin his own bonds, therois an extinction of individual righta snd liberty. In some free countries this extinction, uphappily, takes place in retail, and the | law is err lee under foot; but now, in Europe, it takes place by wholesale. Many of the English excitement in Englan bility of av invasion from arnals have raised a great Mi? representing the possi- “ranoe. If the French people had a voice in their own affairs, and could consult their own interests, such an idea would be ridioulous. As to the probability of such an ae 10 ordinary event, what is more improbable : would bave thought, a few months bao! present actual condition of I'rance was a probable or possible event ? Tho English, howover, seed not fear Franoe alone—when that event takes place, it will be Russia, Austria and France combined, whose masses of soldiers willland upon her shores at twenty places on the same day. Pretoxts will not bo wenng, and the freo admission of political | refugees into England isalready, and has boon for | some time, athorn in the sides of the European rulers. They are gentlemen who will not bear con- tradiction when they make a demand; and now, as | they goon more swimmingly than over, they wiil become more overbearing and arrogant. Ucould go on writing more, sal have of fuete | a fow more left,” but the length of the present admonishes me to dosist. J.w. Our Vienna Correspondence, Vienna, January 15, 1352. The Reception of Kossuth in Amertca—The Aus- trian Opinions of the Hungarian Leaders and | of the Revolutionary Leaders of Evwrope—The Religious Aspect of the Revolutionary Movement, &c., &e. Tho news of Louis Bonaparte’s success and of lord Palmerston’s resignation must have acted | like a thunder-clap upon tho minds of a groat many | people on the other side of tho Atlantic, expecially | upon Kosauth and his followors, who thus, suddenly | and ina very unexpected manner, are aroused from their pleasant dreams, and must now ave their fair illusions vanish like smoke. ! wonder whether, at the same timo, the enthusiasm for the Hungarian | agitator in your country will decrease or aot. it | might be very doubtful, if this eathusiasm should be a genuine one, eprung from the admiration of an actual greatness of soul and capacity of that man ; but I suspect of its being far more intermingled | swor. with party interests than quicokened by disintcrest- ed feelings. Im 1850, on the arrival of the first Hungarian refugees in America, General Cass | availed himself of this opportunity to come forth in Congress with a strong motion against Austria, pretendedly because this power aimed at the sup- pression of all liberty, but actually because ho him- self panted after the Presidency, thus having no- | thing else in view but to act beforehand on tho | electors in his favor. Wel! them, Mr. Cass and | others having in this way taken advantage of the arrival of Hungarian refagees, how much mors must this example have been followed sinco the ar- rival of the chief of these refugees, and at a period anes elections for the noxt Presidency are at | end | However, let it be aa it will, one thing is boyond ajl doubt, and that is, the transitory nature of the present adoration of Kossuth, of whom the Ameri- | cana will sooner or later be tired as woll, as they at last were tired of Jenny Lind Surely, tho political refugeos from Europe, living for the present in the United States, and most of their political friends there, will stick to him in future as well as now, even if only by principle. Yet the indigenous American | people in general are too enlightened and too olear- eee to be imposed upon for more than a little while by alion of the day—by a man who, but for the revolution of 1848, would have remained entire- ly obscure and unknown to the Americans, and who owes his equivocal renown not to his own talents, but only to the circumstance that ambitious Hungarian aristocrats used him as. according to the fable, the monkey used the cat’s paw to pick the chestnuts from the | embers; the circumstance that Lord Palmerston | backed him in every possible maaner, in order to ; keep the revolutionary fire alive in the centre of | Europe. Compare Kossuth with Washington, and | ask you if there be any likeness of character be- tween them? Or compare him with Daniel (’Con- nell, and tell which of them has done more for his | country, the Hungarian or tho Irish agitator? Could you ever think it possible that the American | revolution would Lave been brought to saccoss by Kossuth? Washington had to straggle with in- numerable obstacles and «lifficulties, yet he sur- mounted them by his nba perseverance and circumepection, and by his firm trustin God Sut, without mentioning that the diffioultios Kossuth had to struggle with were by far neither so numer- ous nor so critical as those o! aap how did | | he behave when the ground of the Hungarian re- | | volution began to totter? Did he give any evi- | | dence of firmness or of mental power? Certainly | not; on the contrary, in the very moment when he | should have acted a man, he behaved like a coward, and tock to flight, leaving the Hungarian | | people and army at the meroy of the conquerors. Nevertheless, that Kossuth has found an enthu- siastio recoption in America, is excusable for more than one reagon; but that, forinstance, he has beon solemnly presented with a holy Hibla, and, more- over, that he is considered another Joshua, ete., is qnite unaccountable It is true, he hus been repre- sented kneeling in full state, and surrounded by a | | i} | brilliant train of attendants. Howover, you may | seo similar ehow now and then on arly every | stage of Europe, and | gueas you would nover de- duce any religious sentiments from it. iiven a de- cided atheist will not hesitate to feign fervont do- | votion by kneeling and Praying 08 Foon ag his in- terest seems to require it; and Kossuth kaows too | well the public opinion of the Americans on this point not to bebave himself acoordingly; but to pre- | suppoee any genuine Christian principles with him, would be the most striking ten Tt {is @ question whether ho believes in any (sod at all; but assured- ly he does net believe in Christ as our Saviour anal | Redeomer. Let him be sounded by any expert | Christian, and my asgertion will instantly be con- firmed, Kossuth ix thoroughly of the same stamp | as all the other Muropean revolutionists, and he cherishes decidedly their principles of infidelity. 1 am well aware of the roluctance of your country- men to believe in the actual oxistence of an inti- | mate connection betwoen rovulutionism and infi- delity in ope. Yet there is no fact so incon- | teatible than this; and to get the full conviction of it thore needs no more but a look into the German | newspapers published in America, which, from the | first page to the last, are infected with blasphemy | and atheism, and which the true ig le of | the European rovolutioniste in goneral. 1 never | heard of any among them to be a sincere Christian. | And, indeed, what has Christ in common with Belial! Tho modern !Juropean revolutionists aro | imbued with tho same irreligious and infernal prin- | ciples, with tho samo enmity and hatred against Chris our beloved Saviour, as Robospierre and | his fellow companions at that time when people were beheaded for nothing else but fer thoir having been taken in the very act of prayotr. What an | immonse difference botween your revolution and thoro which, in tho last sixty years, havo been | perpetrated in Hurope, and which are still kopt im — peto. St isa matter of fact that tho contrivers | of the next Huropean revolution havo these things in yiew—viz.: the beheading of all whom they | call aristocrats and narrow minded poopie (dy the | Intter term they mean poople that wih to onjoy in quietness the osrnings of their industry); the prac- tice of socialism and cemmoniom, in other worls, \ the cobblag of avery propriotor; aad thigdiy, the | Gibson | ing year, Lord G | sible; and t inteoduction of general prostitution and the simul- tancous abolition of the matrimonia! tio. This being tho case, oan there exist any real sympathy for European revolutions—for Kossuth and other European revolutionists—smong honost minded Amoricana? thoy oven evinge it b: permanent contributions in monoy’ Nay, will they go so farsa to support those adventurers by armed force, thus gratifying tho mad desire of a dull-headed stranger, and acting in direct opposi- tion to Washington's eage advice, not to meddle In tho domestic affairs of foreign countries? I think they will not; for the groet majority of the nation would never consent to a war doolared a; Europe from such anpresedented and fantastic motives, well kaowing that it would valy tend to the ruin of their own country. And what wight, on the otbor hand, be th tual tendency of the armed intervention itse ‘Lo relieve oppressed people, is, perhaps, your a Woll, then, tell me what people you moan —poradventure, the Franch pesplo’ Bat I should think they are not Oppreatel at all; their right of voting is established on tho samo !arge scale a3 tn | your country; and perfeot free will was allowed to them when recently they were oalled upon to do clare frankly whether they would adhere to tho principles of order and honesty, or support those of murder and plurder; avd with aa immense majority | they have sanctified the former, and condemned the | latter. Now, Lask, whoave in the right—3,000,000 Fronch citizens who solemnly and oe ly have declared themselves in favor of public ort or some few accialists and red republicans who pI tond to represent tho public opinion in [rance? Doubtiees the former. Be assured tho French are not the only European people who, in plain terms, are disgusted with the doings and practices of their pretendod benefactors, and who, likewise, and long since, are ticad of ¢! revolutions, as woli as of tho modern political con- stitutions. In Portugal, in Spain, thoy are tirod of them; in Germany, ia Italy, and oven in Crrevoe, they are tired of thom; in Austria, the abolition of the’ constitution of 154% has beon welcomed by the people with groat yey; andin Hangary, Koysuth was almost entirely forgotten, until recently be baa been called to remomberance again by the nowspapert, which tell the readers shat be bos been in Lingland, and that ho now ia America. The Hungarian people (that is the great majority of tag vation) have been too much the losers by the last rovolution to long aftor another ono; moreover, ay have no timo for it, being too much engaged in their private concerns. Of course, Koasuth and his followors will maintain thecontrary; and, likewise, in many nowapapor: will find the reverse of my assertion; howe’ judge the named vr any other country of t! pean contineat, by Maropean rovolutioners, or by hewspapers, would be almost the samo as to judge of the public opinion in America solely by the pri- vate opinions of Dana and (ireeley, or tho Now York Tribune Since the solemn vota of the French peoplain favor of public © and justice, and sinco the iguominious dismission of Lord Palmeraton, the haunts of the political refugees on the uropsan continest have speedily beon cleared of them, and they be sent to America. la all probability, Mazzini, and other chiefs of the London rovolution- ary committees, will soon follow them, while, in ocnsequence of tho energetic protestations on the art of the northern great powers, and now also of ‘rance, Kossuth will be shut out from Europe-— | even from England. Thus the Americans will have full leisure to become intimately acquainted with the exact character of the most eminent Euro- pean horoes of liberty; and 1 have great doubt that then they still will preserve them that sympathy 1G, which at present is lavished onthom. X. Y Sketches of Some of the New Leading Men of Europe. HONORA SECRETARY Granville Georgs Leveson Gower, second Earl Granville, eldest con, by the second daughter of the Gfth Duke of Devonshire, of the first Earl, who was ambaseador to R the Hague, and for seventeen years at Paris, was born May 11, 1515. In 1828 he was sent to Eten; and in 1832 entered Christchurch, where he took his degree in 1835 In ho following year he became, under his father, wtaché to the embassy at Paris; and in 1536, being just of age, waa returned to Parliament, without oppesition, for the borough of Morpeth. In the same session ho made his first speech, taking the liperal side ina debate on the policy of the Quad- | ruple Alliance. At the general election, om the | death of William iV , in 1537, bis Lordship was again, without @ contest, returned for Morpeth, audon the meeting of Parliamest had the honor of moving the first address to her Majesty. At the | close of the session he accepted the appointment | of Under Seoretary of Stato for Foreign Aduirs, retired from Parliament, and continued to hold the office until M40; when, on the appointmont of Sir George Anson to the Governor-hip of Chelsea Hospi- tal, his Lordship beceme a candidate forthe vacated seat at Litchfi and again hal the good fortane to be elected without a contest. During his absenoa from the Houeg, the question of repeal of the corn laws, first moved by Mr. Villiers in I538, had, througa bis pereeverancs, become prominent. Out of door: the pgitation had gained ground ; but in the Houze, both the great parties wore still opposed to any re moval of the bread tax. His Lordship at ones gave bis support tothe proposal for its total and immediate repeal ; and, irrespective of party, both in office and opposition, in toe Commons and the Lords, voted and spoke, during the whole of the struggie, for the untaxing of food, and the enfran- chigement of commerce on the side of complete free trade. At the general election of 1541, he was again returned for Litchfield. In the January of 1516, bis lordship was appointed deputy lieutenant for Shropshire, succeeded to the peorage, and in the followisg session first spoke inthe Lords, in | support of the repeal of the corn laws. In July of the same year, he was appointed master of the Queen’s buckhounds, an appointment which at the clore of the year he resigned, to accept the office of an unpaid commissioner of railways; and, in the May of 1848, he succeeded the Right Hon. Milner vice-president of the Board of Tra nd Mr. Macaulay as paymaster of the forces. 1817, Mr. Ricardo’s committee sat in the Com- mons on the navigation laws. In the follow- ranville was @ member of the committee in tho Lords, and subsequont- ly, both on the second reading and in committes, ere at length upcn the question, especially in re- ply to Lord Brougham, pointing out that the state of our treaties rendered any measure of Be ooy such as Lord Ellenborough had proposed, impos- 3 to America, the very rreamble of their own law, which declared it purely a rotalia- tive act on the part of the United States, sured us just so much liberty of navigation as we should graat—a view tho correctness of which was early proved by the American proclamation, giving complete equality, except inthe coasting, to our shipping with their own, immediately on the pass- ing of the bill repealing our navigation laws. At the request of his royal highness Prinoe Albert, ard assured by the most kindly offered assistance of the late Sir Robert Peel, Lord Granville con- sented to act as vice-president of the Koyal Com- mission for the great Exhibition, of which he was throughout one ot the most diligent working mem- bers. He spoke at the meetings at York and Bir- mingham; on board the Atlantic steamship at Liverpool; and at Parison the occasion of the visit in August id one of his best speaches in tho House was Brougham’s at- tack upen the In the late session his lordship was chairman of che committee on the patent iawe, took the entire ma- nogement ofthe propoeed measure of reform; and, in | introducing the bill, expreased himeelf not only in | favor of euch charges as were proposed, bat as in ef that it his own conviction going so far as the beli October, would be best to have no patent laws Is51, Lord Granville was called to a cessor of Lord Palmerston—an offise rendered the more difficult by the eminent ability and the home popularity of his predecessor. Lord Granville, ex- cept on she questions we have named, has but sel- | com spoken in either House; but in the Lords be | bas been a working member of several important | committees, and has been a constant supporter of liberal measures. It having been stated in the papers ‘that the wife of the new foreign secretary is an Italian lady of considerable rank and wealth, | and a Roman Catholic;” we may state that she was daughter to John, Duke of Dalberg, and married first to Sir Ferdinand Richard Acton, Hart, of Aldenbam Park, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, by whom she bad a son and heir to the baronetcy, Sir Ferdinand Nichard John Dalherg Acton, bora January 10, 1854, at Naples, consequently in his 18th year. At the decease of her husband, at Naples, in 1837, her ladyship remained some tine abroad, and consequently married Lord Levison, the present Earl of Granville, formerly Master of the Buck Hounds, then Paymaster and Vice Pr esi- dent of the Board ef Tr elected Minister for Foreign Affairs. 1t is needless to add, the Aoton family, as woll as that of horlady- | ship, are all of the oman Catholic porsuasion, tho | former ber Ne es their members a no loss | personage than Cardinal Acton, who is aupposed to onvess groat influence in the councils of the atioan. INE NEW ENGLISH GOVERNOR OF THR Care. Mojor General the Hon. Goerge Cathoart enter- ed the army on the 10th of May, 1810, ata vory early age. His first services wore performod a8 aide de camp to his father, Lord Cathcart, who was | commissioner from Groat Britain to tho allicd srmies in the northern campaigns of 1312, 1813 and Js] 1, and who was engagod in all the important ovente af thoes days, until he took his full share in tho final settlement of the troaty of Vienna, as ono | of the representatives of Groat Britain.

This work, palin in 1850, hag been already the subjoo: of favorable notice in tho columns of the Observer, and is thought worthy to bo classed bythe Quarterly Remew, for December, with tho valuable acoonnts of Muller, of Mufliing, and of Wolsogen. Gen. Cath. art's volumo is truly solid and anpratending, and affords s most truthfa! and intelligent narrative of the stirring scenes to which ha was witnoss.

Ceneral Cathoart was actually prasent in ten general engaga- mente, viz.. Lutzen, td May, 1 Bautven,20th and 2tet May, 1512; Drosdon, 28th May, 1813; Leipsic, 16th, 15\h, and 1th of Oct , 1513; Busoereno, lat Feb , 1814; Bar Sur Aube; Arois, 2lat March; and Champanoirs, 2th M. in the aame yoar; Quatro Bras and Waterloo, 1 In eight of these Napoison eommanded in person. He commandod the Ist Dragoon Guards in Ganada during tho an- fortunate rebollion of that country, whon the Guacde wore brigaded undor the late General J. ili- con. Whilst engaged in that didicult—thouga aot brilliant—service, his enorgies wore onconquerod, and be was almost impervious to fatigue. it was he who introducod a change of clothing in his regi- ment, more suited to the rigor of a Canadian | er, and oarried out regulations which Lave ever singe been acted upon in Canada, and which | might with great propriety and asofulness bo intro- duced in other parts of our colonial empire.

The delegates of the sugar interest soon appointed him their secretary, with a viow to defend tho interests of the trade. The superior manner in which he ex- plained and enforced their views ina clever pam phlet, caused him to be ultimately elected president of the eociety In 1842 he first became a member cf (be Chamber, and frequently spoke in a mannor to excite attention, from his coolness and aplomb Put although a certain ability and enorgy cannot be denied to M. de Morny, no one supposed him to be epecially cut out for a parliamontary life, oréor @ great miniater of state.
