The Count Kaousset Boulbon, The career of this rewarkable adventurer has by tbis time, if the last ac ounts from Mexico are correct, been brought to a close. Itis now about eighteen mcnths since wo published a lengthened exposé, founded on the acknowledgments of theic o*n journals, of the designs of the French with re | gard to Sonora. We showed that their object io endeavoring to colopise this State, was to establish a sort of counterpoise to the influence of this coun. try in South America, and that the circumstances which brought Count Boulbon upon the scene had only accidentally concursed to further a policy which has always been kept steadily in view. If avything weie wanting to confirm the evidence which we laid before the pub‘ic on that occasion, it has been siuce supplied by the overt acta of Consul Dillon in San Franciaco, and the subsequent iava- sion of Sonora by Count Boulbon, who, it would appear, bas met his fate in the attempt. Whether, as at first stated, he was killed in tho encounter with Santa Anna's troops, or, as we bave since Jearned, been captured and sentenced to be thot, the result is in all probablity the same, for the Dictator is not the man to spare a former friend taken in arms agaiast him. Under theso sircumstances, a few details re- garding the carly history of this singular man, who has occupied so promineat a place ia South Amo rican politics for the last few yedrs, may not be un- acceptable to our readers. The Count Gaston Ra»usset De Boulbon was de- fcended from one of the most ancient families of Provence. His ancestors originally came from Italy, where they were known under the historical name of Radulf. From tiie patronymic was de rived the present family name of Raousset, the other local appellation being taken from their seat, the chateau de Bourbon, near Tarangon, on the Rhone. It waa found necossary in 1793 to alter this unpopa" lar designation into de Boulbon, and thus it has con tinued ever since, By many the Count was sup pored to be the illegitimace offspring of one of the Bourbon princes; bat the idea, in all probability, arose fiom bis compliance with the-comttion Pench practice of sinking the title of the family in that of the domain. Ff The education of the young Count was committed almovt entirely to the hands of tho Jesuits. This talented copfraternity are proverbial for tarning out of their hands remarkable men, although, curious to say, butfew of them h.vo exhibited any vocation for thecalling of their icatructors. The young Raouw set's educational course was more than usually dis. tinguished, and as is generally the case with clever boys, he became a great favorite with his pre. ceptors, His tastes wero, however, too versatile forbim to devote himself assiduously to any one parmit. After be left college he tried his hand at almost everything. Alternately painter, poet, dra: matiat, agriculturist, manufacturer, and soldier, he digplayed unequivocal evidences of talen: in all bis efforts, remizoing people, by bis facility of adapta. , Of Villiers, Duke of Buckiogham— A man, 60 various that ho seomed to ‘one, but all mantind’s epitome.
