COUNT WALEWSKI. Count Walewski, Minister ef Foreign Affairs, and one of the representatives of France in the Paris Conference, te a natural son of Napoleon I., and was originally a Polish refugee. His mother, belongicg to the petty Po- Msh nobility, named Lontschynski, was on account of ber beauty, bought from her father by an old rish roue of some seventy years of age, named Walewski. Napo. Jecn ‘aw her at a ball in Warsaw, and being struck with ber beauty Marshal Duroc carried her away, with the eonsent of her husband, to the dwelling of his master. Napoleon soon became very much attached to her, aud ‘the present Coumt was born in 1869 or 1810, The title be bears was bestowed on the infant in the cradle, along with a copsiderable property in stoeks and funds. In the carriage of Napoleon, seized by the British troops af- or the disaster of Waterloo, were found some domestic memoranda written in tbe Imperial hand, and in these the rame of Macame Walewsai follows always immediately after that of his mother Letitia. Napoleon wished and expected that his mistress should join him at St. Helena. He was highly offended when che soon after married his ecusin, General Count Ormano, and this was the reason why be mentiored metther mother nor child in last will and testament. Count Walewski cid not receive what is considered a thorough ecucation, as he was never sent to any school, eollege or university. He was brought up under private tutors, and has the knowledge gained by superficial read- ‘img and the experiance of after life. At the age of about sixteen he become almost the uncontrolled master of a very large fortune, which he dissipated before he wae twenty-five. H's guardians having acquired for him the estates of bis nowinal father in Poland, who never pro- tested against his birth, the lud was of course consi ‘ered a Pole. In the revolution of 1830 he took part as an amateur at the battle of Grohow, and served in the staif of the Poiish commander. Scoa after Priacs Czartoryski sent him as his agent to France and England. In the latter country Walewski wae instructed to remind Lord Palmerston ot a promise to dispateh to the Bal ic an Eng- Meh fleet in support of the Polish insurrection. I the insurrection was quelled Count Walewski ineffectually urged bis business in London, When yesrs afterward Lord Palmerston was reproached for his false promises and bis betrayal of (be Poles, he repied that he never @id what wax chargsi to him, and thar it was no! bis fault ifs boy lise Walewski mixiook some mere expres- sions ct ordinary commisteration for diplomatic engig+ ments. During bis English mission Count Wa'e wski marrisd an Foglith !ady, a member of ‘ha Mont family, but she @ied in two or three yeas, Utterly ruined, be sough to enter the French civil service and rise under Louis Philippe; but the King ordered him to win his spars of French nationality in Algeria. Thither he went aczord- jwgly, and served usa lieutenant in the army for abouta year, but withont distinction, in the staff of elther Mar- sbais Clause! or Valiant. He then returned to Paris with his letters of naturalization, but nothing else. There he became a poH4cal banger-on and established an inti- macy with Thiers, who supplied him with the funds to buy an evering paper, called the Messager des Chambres, edited in the interest ot Thiers against Mole. When In 1840 Mekemet Ali attacked the Sultan, on which occasion the four great Powers concluded a treaty excluding France, count Wale wski was sent by M. Thiers, then Premier, to Fgyp:, to inspire and direct the redet Pasha. The Thiers micistry beitg soon overthrown, and Mehemet Ali being overcome by the four Powers, Wale #- ski was agaia thrown out of employment. He amused himselt by propagating tiitle-tattle and scan al (n the sa Joons of Paris, and occasioned between Guizot and the Marquis of Normandy a misun‘erstandipg famous a+ the time in diplomatic circles. Finally, he mar- ried a young Florentine woman of gooa family but small fortune, residing in Paris, and his new mother-in-law sueceeded in restoring him to the tavor of Louis Philippe and Guizot. Walewski was then sent to La Plata, where conjointly with the English agent, Lord Howden, he was to settle all differences; but returned | without haviug succeeded in his mission, beiog outwitted by his English associate. Soon after the revolution of February broke out, and Walew:ki with his wite fled to Florence. Here be waited for better times, eursiog the vevolution and the republic. souis Napoleon being elected Presideat, instantly gathered around him the members of his family, ana ©ount Walewski was created Mini-ter in Florence, after ward Ambassador to Naples, and subsequently Minis:er im London. After remaining a brief period there he was summoned to Paris on the resignation or 4. Drouya de I’Hays, and entrusted with the porttolio of Foreign Affairs. As Louis Napoleon wants rather a faithful instrament than aa incependent Mivister to represent him ut the Conferences he bas doubtless made choice cf Count Walewski with ‘that view. THE BARON DE BOURQUENEY. The Baron de Bourqueney, the second representative of France at the Conferences, is « mau of high dipl matic ability, although circumstances have not hitherto given him much scope for its display. He was French Ambas- #ador at Constantinople when the difficulty occurred about the holy sepulebre. He is from fifty-five tv sixty years of age. Gharles Ferdinand, Connt Buol berg, Straesherg and Ebresfele, Chamberlain and Privy Councillor ot his Imperial and Apostolic Mujesty the Em peror of Austria, Minister of Foreign Affairs, &o., is des ended from one of the most ancient families of Austria, originally of the Grisons, where two of its members sue cessively ceenpied the Kpisco 2a] See of Coire. From the year 1298, when we find the Captain Ulrich Buc] figurirg in the service of Albert of Anstria, dowa to the death of Marshal Francois Tomas, Coun: de Buol who died in 1742, this family bas never ceased to occupy an eleyated position in the ranks of the Imperial army Having vo direct beirs the Marshal Fraagois Thomas adopted as his heir Baron Charles Rodolphe ce Buol, head of the collateral line and grand uncle the present Minister of Foreign Affairs for Austria. ‘The cororet of Count, which from the exploits per- formed durirg four centuries on tie battle fiela by che eldest branch, already shone with great brilliancy, when it parsed to the youngest branch, reflected a fresh lustre from the signal services w! branch was called upon to render to Austria tor more than a century in the ciplomatic carter, that is to say, from the time when Charles Podelphe ce Buol was sent to fulfil the functions ot Imperis: Ambassador at the Court of the Priace Pala- five. His grandson, the Count Jeam Rodolphe, left glo rious souvenirs at Frankfort on-the-Maine, where, during wany years, he presided over the German Diet in the quality cf Minister Plenipotentiary from Auatria It was In the school of his own father, the President o¢ the Diet, that Count Charles Ferdinand, born on the 17th of May, 1797, was formed, when, at the age of barely nineteen, be made his debut in this difficult career. He was at first atteched to the iraperial legation at Floreace whence he passed successively to Hanover, Cassell and Frankfort-on-the Maine, always in the same rank of at taché to the imperial legation. At Frankfort-on-the-Maine he was fortunate enough again to find bis father, wh con‘inued at the same post, and to profit by the and the long experience of that finished dip’oma the death of the latter, the young Count de Bu named Secretary of Legation at the Hague, and wi moted in 1822 to the functions of Secretary of RBebarry, where he remained until 1824, when he wav transferred as First Secretary to the Fimbassy of his Ap tolie Majesty at Lonion. By asingular coin were to be found at the ram# epoch in the capt Britain, the Baron de Bourqueney and Prine» Gort-chakoll who were both attached as secretaries to the em? their rerpective courts. Thirty years later these three qnandom recretaries met at the Coulerenoes of Vieuns as the representatives of their goveroments In the chura. ter of plenipotentiaries. Count Buol left Bugland in 1828, to take possession of the Imperial Legation at Carlérae, to which ke had been appointed. In 1831 he was acereiited in addition Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Darm tact, From that epoch dates his marriage with the Princess Caroline Ivembourg-Birstein, daughter of the mediatised prince of the same name, and heiress of au immense fortune. In 1838 he was named to the direction of the Imperial legation at Stuttgard. “he services that be renvered his government in thi: post procure] him the being, on the 13th July, 1834, elevated to t Privy Councillor of his Apostolic Majesty, a this “ here jrent ansionc Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Turin, and, at the same time, to that of Parma. Perceiving that not- withstanding the amicable protestations which King Charles Albert lavished on the Court of Vienna, the Sar- ¢ixian troops were preparing to hasten to the assistance of the Muanese insurgents, Count Buol, without awaiting instructions from his government, thought it right to demand his passports, preferring an open rupture be- tween the two governments to an equivocal situation. | Prince Felix de Sehwartvenberg, who, in the month of October, 1848, took in bands the réins of the Austrian | goverment, desiring to mark his high approbation of the firmness and energy of which Count Buol had given proof in such critical circumstances, confided to him the direction cf the imperial legation at St. Petersburg. In the course of the year 1850, Germany, already dis- tracted by interna: divisions, was destined to witness a collision between Austria and Prussia on the subject of the right of intervention in the Duchy of Holstein, and in Fleetoral Hesse. The quarrel was already threatening to degenerate into a sanguinary strugg'e when Prince Felix de Schwartzenterg and Baron de Manteuffel fortu- nately signed at Ollmutz, on the 20th November, 1850, an rrangement by whi.h the points in dispute were referred to the common investigation of all the German Powers. With this object conferences were established as Dres- en, Prince Felix de Schwarzenberg being appointed to preside over the Dresden Conferences, summoned from St. Petersburg the Court de Buol, to act in quality of Second Imperial Plenipotentiary. In the accomphshment of this mission, which was as difficult as deheate, Count de Buol displayed so much skill and firmness that the Court of Vienna, having need of an adroit negotiator to preserve in the midst of the critical circumstances of the moment the influence which ithad always exercised in London, as well as to avoid more serious complications between the two Cabinets, without at the same time cerogating from its dignity, and without suffering 1's interests to be compromised, made choice of Count de Buol, who, in 1851 was accredited as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pienipotentiary to Queen Victoria, A melancholy event, which plunged in mourning the whole Austrian empire, suddenly rendered vacant the Portfolio of Foreign Affairs, Prince Feikx de Schwarzenberg was suddenly eut off, in the very prime of life, on the 11th of Apri, 1852, by an spoplectic stroka. The Emperor Francis Jos*ph lost in him a firm and faita- ful councillor, whose energy had saved the monar:hy from imminent ruin, The country mourned deeply for a states- man whoce large and Inberal views had contributed to the political regeneration of tho empire. That feeling of pre sen‘iment whicd often apprises men that they are ap- proscbing the grave, bad toreshqdo ved to the uufortunate Prince his premature end. In the private conversa’ with vhe young E~peror, whilst regretting tbat he would have to leave his work untin shed, be designated Count Buol as cuccessor vjho would always 1is9 to the level o! his mission. In effect, when the confidence of bis sove- reign placed him at the head of the Ministry of Foreiga Affsirs, Count Buol entered frankly and courageously on the pelitical path traced by his illustrious predesessor. Prince Schwarzenberg entertained the conviction that there existed betwen France and Austria points of coa tact too numerous not to base their mutual aikaace on the solidarity of reciprocal interests, He ofted s«id that the causes of distention between the two countries would be only temporary, if their respective goveraments would take into account the important interests which they had to deend acd pursue them in common, ‘The fa'th'ul and skilful interpre’er of the policy inau- gurated by the late Prince Schwarzenberg, Count Bul, on assuming the direction of the Department of tbe Ex!s- rior, commenced by feremptorily refasivg t> associate himself with the restrvations with whish the Court of St. Petersburg desired to surround the recognition of the re-establishment of the French Empire. Soon afterwards the Fastern question furnished to Count Buol a favora- bie opportunity of entering with a decided step into the alliance with the Western Powers. Hence the profsand resentment which the Emperor Nicholas testified towards him at the lost interview which the Czar held at Oll- mutz with the Emperor Francis Joseph. The autosrat, who had hoped to remove Count Bool, left Ollmutz as éxesappointed as cisabused, carrying with him the con- viction that the Count possessed more than ever the con- fidence of his zovereign, whore policy he persomified, not- withstanding the opposition which this policy at first en- countered smongst the military aristocracy of Austcia. The politica! pre-occupations which, since his entrance into the ministry, have never ceased to absorb the attea- tion of Count Buol, hare not prevented him fiom impart- ing the most salutary and fruitfal activity to the De- partment of Foreign Affairs, by the conclusion of numa- rous international treaties, destined to draw closer and to extend the relations of Austria with foreign countries, Amongst there may be reckoned the postal conventions with the Papal States, March 30, 1852; with Spain, April 80, 1853; with Swi'zerland, August 1, 1853; with Sar dinia, Sept. 28, 1863; and with Russia, May 5, 1854; the treaties relative to the tranemissien of telegraphic des. patcbes with Switzerland, April 26, 1852; with the States of the Germanic Confederation, Sept. 23, 1853; with Sar- dinia, Sept. 28, 1853; the treaty of commeree and of cus- toms with Prussia, and with the German Customs Union, March 19, 1853; the treaty of commerce and navigation with Pelgiam, May 2, 1854; the treaty for the extradi- tion of criminals with France, Nov. 13, 1855, &e., Ke. It may be seen from this what a powerful impulee the material interests formerly neglected by Austrian dfplo- macy received under the sagacicus direction of Count Buol, whose mind, eminently practical, had long seized and appreciated the great movement which is dally de. veloping itself in the life of nations, im whtch the influ- ence of material interests is now become so decisive that before it is everywhere vanishing the system of the alli- ance of princtples. ‘This truth once understood,” ob- serves & French writer, ‘the allianee of France and Austria mast necessarily be the result of the Eastern complications. BARON DE HUBNER. Alexander Baron de Hubner, Privy Councillor of the Austrian Empire, and second representative of his impe- rial Majesty at the conferences, was born in Vienna on the 26th of November, 1811. After finishing his studies at the University of that city, he remained some time in Italy before entering, in 1833, the Austrian Chancellerie to prepare for his debut in the diplomatic career, under the auspices of the Prince de Metternich, Except merely the title, the imperial royal ministry of foreign affairs still preserves the orgavization and the attributes of the old Chancellerie, where M. de Hubmer remained in the cabinet of the Prince until 1857. Having subsequently, during the years 1837 and 1828, been sent to the imperial embassay in Paris, whilst Count Appeny was ambarsador there, he was recalled to Vienna to take a post in the office of the Arch Caancellor, who showed him a great deal of kindnens, ‘When, daring the summer season, the Prince de Mot- ternich repaired to spend o few montke on the borders cf the Rhine, in the magnificent castle of Johaunisberg, he generally took with him some of his subordinates, and M. de Hubner was always one of them, When after long suspension of diplomatic relations between Austria and Portugal, the Court of Vienva re- cogn'zed in 1841 the throne of Queen Maria da Gloria, the Baron Marshal was appointed Envoy Kxtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Apostolic Majesty at Lis- bon; Mr. de Hubner, acting as Secretary, was entrusted with the re-organization of the Imperial tegation there. He left Portugal in 1844 to proceed as Chargé d’ Aifaires from his government to the dueal Courts of Anhalt; he was in the meantime intended to} act as dustrian Consul General to Leipsie. Thislast effice is considered aa one o the mot important places for observation, either in a political or cotamerctal poiat of view, in the whole ot Germany. In the beginning of the year 1848, unmistakable evi- cexvces of political agitation were observed along the whole peat.eula of the Apennines, The diplomatic cor- respondence of the Archduke Kenier, Vieersy of the Lombsrdo-Venstian Kingdem, with the aurrounding States, becom'ng duily more important, was intrusted to the su- perintendence of Mf. de Hubser.

M. de Hubner succeeded ‘n crossing the barricades and the lines of the latter, in order to place himrelf at the disposal of Prince Schwarzenberg. ‘The latter had been sent for by the Emperor Fe:dinand; Dut, in presence of an impending attack by the rebels, the Prince thought that his true place was at the head of the soldiers, whore duty ft was to defend the thr. no and to save the monarchy. He sent, in his place, to the Fmperor, M. de Hubner, who incurred the greatest danger in passing again through the positions of the enemy, in order to arrive at Seboenbrun, where the im- perial fami'y was assembled, The Court baving decided to seek a secure asy!um be” hind the bulwarks of the fortress cf Ollmutz, M. ce Hubner had the honor of accompauying the Emperor, the Empress, and the parents of tho present Emperor, (then the Archduke Francis Jcseph,) his brothers, aud nearly all the members of the impcria! family, who, ¢s- corted by five thousand fiithfn! solciers, undertook the memorable journey from Sehcenbrunn to Ollmutz. Prince Febx de Schwarzenberg scon joined there the imperial family. From the month of October, 1848, to that of March, 1849, M. de Hubner remained at Olimutz near the Prince de Schwarzenberg, who, having bean appointed Presicent cf the Ministry and Minister of Foreiga Relations, en- trusted M. de Hubaer with the direction of the political correspondence of the foreign department. M. de Hab ner hac often, in the meantime, to airect the interior affairs of the empize. The proclamations, the manifestoes and the deeds of vhat time, as well as thore ecnnected with the struggle with the revolution, the abdications of the Etaperor Fer- dinana, and ef bis bother the Arcuduke Francis Caartes, as also the act of accession of the present reigning Em peror, Franeis Joseph, were written by M. do Hubner; be was sleo chosen to act as Register, co as to prove in an official mawner the voluntary abdisstion of tae Empe- rer Ferdinand and the inaugwiation of the reign of bis august peptew. In February, 1849, M. ¢e Hubner was intrvsied with 8 confidential mission to the Prince de Windischgraétz, whom he found on tke point of giving battle to the Iua- garion insurgen's at Kapolna, on the borders of Theiss. Seon afier, in March, 1849, be wa: seat on a special mts sion to Paris, wre:e he succeeded so well that the impe- rial govere ment definitively appointed him a few months afcerwards its Envoy Extraorcioary and Min ster Planipo- tentiary to tae elect of tne 2d of December, It was in position, still occupied by M. de Hubner, that he powerfully in preparing and consolidating the al- Nance between France and Austria, As a reward for these services the Emperor Francis Joseyh conferred on M. ée Hiibner the Greni Cross ut the Order of the 1 Crowz, andthe Emperor ot the French the plajue of grand oflicer of the Imperial Urder of the Legion of Honor, con THE ENGLISH RLPRES When Farl Grey wes Premier of Great Brita’ the Marquis of Anglesey enacted the part of Viceroy o Ireland, there might haye heen met about Dublin s gen- tleman of thirty-three, or thereabouts, with fair hair, pale and delicate features, an elegan' air, and a tall, shght figure. He was dreseed with particu’ar care; his lcok was decidedly intellectual, aud his voice was pleas irgly modulated gpd irsinusting His whole appsaiarye waa aristccratic, in the modern acceptation of the term; he must have known, by indications not to be mivtaken, that he was decidedly in favor with the gentler rex; and there is rocm to believe that he waa not altogether mn- sensible to their charms, Strangers, oa inquiry, were informed that this interesting individual was the heic presumptive to the Earldcm of Clarendon, but mean- while bolding cflice as Commissioner of Customs, ant! exercising no incor siderable influence over the then Lord- Lieutenant and the affairs of Ireland. The family to which this ia¢ividual belonged was very aristocratic, without being decidedly patuician, What was the importance cf a Villiers, before the hereditary weakress of James the First for favorites raised one of them to eminerce, it is unnecessary to inquize, English peerage-mcngers, indeed, with ‘heir readiness to assign long pedigrees to all who bave titles and estates, make their progenitors come in with the Conqneror. Possibly, sey we, though we are inclined to doubs the fect: but, at all events, it is sufficient for our present purpose to sta‘e, that about the middle of last century, a younger son ot an Earl of Jersey married a daughter of the honse of Capel, whese mother was heiress of the Hydes; that this scicn of the house of V.liers was created Earl of Clarea- don, that be was blessed with three sons, that the chird of thore marvied a elster of the Earl of Morley, and that their eldest acn, George William Frederick Viiliers, was born in the month of May, 1800. ‘The ability, intelligence, irdustry, activity of mind and krowledge of business details evinced by Mr. Villiers, in Dublin, while a Commissioner of Customs, recommended him to the government; and when matters in Spain look- ed rericus, he was sent as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister P.enipotentiary to the Court cf Madrid. There he managed matters so well, as, while giving high satis: faction to the Ergiith Ministry, to acquire much popu- larity among ike inhatitante of the Spanish cspital. However, on the Ceath of his paternal uncle in 1838, he returned to En gland, was decorated with the Cross of the Bath, tock bis seat in the House ot Lords es the fourth Farl of Clarendon, and soon after made a spesch on Span- ish eflairs, which marked him out as a mancf more than ortivary talent. Accordingly, when, in 1839, Lord Mel- bourne’s Cabinet wen getiing “shaky,” be was entrasted with the Privy Seal, and subsequently nominated Chan, cellor of the Duchy cf Lancaster. He continued a member (fthe Ministry till the general election of 1841 placed sir Robert Peel in power. But in 1846, when a chonge had been produced in pub, Me opinion, and the corn laws, te which he had been al- ways oppored, were repealed, and a new whig Cabinet was constructed under the auspices of Lord J. Russell, Lord Clarendon was appointed Presideat of the Board of Trade, ond cecupied that post till, on the death of Lord Beeborough, he was rent to Ireland a# Lord Lieutens it, He entered on his viceregal functions under most difticuit circumstances, and his x¢ministration cannot be regard ed as in all respecta sacoessiul. The Birch affair hud, to use the mildest parase, an awkward look; and some of the Lord Lieutenant’s political foes even went the lengtn of charging him with creating that rebellion which Lis frienés gave him so much credit for putting down. When Lord Derby assumed tho reins of power, there war, of course, ® cbange in the Irich government, and the Earl o! Fglintoun was installed in the Castle of Dublin, Bur when another ehinge was effected, and the Derby Cabinet bad ceared to exist, and all caps were in the air for the Ear! of Aberdeen and his collesgues, Lord Claran- den consented to give the coalition the benetit of hia ex- perience, and tske the seals of the fore’gn department. No bigher compliment could have been psid t» Lord Cla- ren¢on’s butivers capacity tham when Lord Derby, in tue course of his efforts to form @ govyercment, last «pring, stated that it weuld be of immense advantage to the country to retain the services of such # Minisier, and that, could he have formed an sdministration cap ble of carrying on the Russian war with vigor, he should not have hesivated to request Lord C’arenden to retain the post be had up to that time occupied wih so much ore dit and distinction, The noble plenipotentiary, in fact is perfectly conversant wih the whole diplomacy cf the last few years, and with the feelings and views of the various courts of Europe. He is, moreover, aman whose address, perception, and powers of insinuation are de yord all question, There is little danger of the atmosphere of Paris prov- ing 0 fatal to Lora Ciarendon as the air of Vienna did to Lord Jobn Russel), irasmuch as he has more consistency and firmaness of purpose. We are borne out in this view by the language of the rpeech mass by the noble iord, in the House of Veers, on the first night of the present ses tion of Patliement.

Alexis Fedviovitch Count Orloff, Aide-de camp General, General c* Cavalry, Commander of the Miltary House hold of the Emperor and Member of the Council of the Empize, telongs to one of ine most illustrious fumitie of Russia. He was bern in the year 1785, and is conse- quently now 71 years of age. Almost all the members ofthis race have been remarkable for their physical Leunty. The first of whom we find mention was a Strelitz, under Peter the Great. Of him the followiog anecdote ia related:— A cerps of ancie: dacal and afierward Czarian he reditary body guards existed, merous and brave, commanded by some ancient fumilies, such as Snoueki, Dolgorouki, and othe: Under Peter, this corps embecied the spirit of Old Rus tiv, resisied his reforms, and revolted several times. after the suppression of ore of these revolts, the infu. riated Czar himselt officiated as executioner, with axe ix hand. A young mun spprosched to taka his turn in laying lis head on the block. The Czar, struck with his youth and finesse, pushed him asice. The undaunted boy resumed bis place, saying to the Czar:—'' You have hiiied wy father, to Gespateh me likewise.” Thit ceo!- ness and ccntempt of death charmed the executioner, who had the Ina carried away unharmed. This youth yor an Orlefl, ard ome yeats afterward became an offi erin ihe new ryégiméute cf Guards organized by Peter. ‘The grandsons of this hero helped to raise the grea Catharine 11. to the imperial throne, which otherwise would have been oceupied by Peter Il, who, if not wholly on fciot, war but little removed from it. Gregovy Orleif, the paramour of Cathsrize, with bis brother, stirred up an insurrection among the guards, and at their head proclaimed the Ewpress; while Alexis Ovicf, with BapjatyneLi wnd ober yourg men, murdered the lawful (var, At that moment the grateful and er amored Catharine desired to share the throne with Gregery, but the oppositien of the boyards prevented it. The Orlofs, ambitious and aspirirg, were the first to furpire Catharine, a Gertoan by birth, with national Ri sian teelings aid hopes, Like Povemkin, Ramanzoff, a mavy others afierward, they pointed continually to the destiustica of Turkey as the great object of Russian po- Ney, Alexis commanded the then newiy formed Russian rqusdron, which in 1770, on the 5:b and 6th of July, hesded Ly Elphinston, Greig and some other Eng'ishmen, burred and destroyed the Turkish fleet at Cheame, av insigniticant bazbor in Asia Mincr, opposite the Island of Chios, At the same time Alexis fostered in Greacs tho celebrated association of the Hetezia. In physical attributes the nt Count Orloff pre- sents all the well kuown cbaracterisiics of his race, His strength is immense and his personal appearance inpos ing. The early part of his career was s:eut in the army, and he tock part in almost ali the wars which signalized the commencemenv nr eentury. Wounded first Austerlitz, he was also seven different times wounde upon the field of Borodino, and was afterwards made uide-de-camp of the Emperor Alexander I. In 1825 he was a genera}, and commanded in that cepacity the regi- went of Horse Guards which, in Dacember, 1826, first hurried to suppress the émeute. Count Orloff gave to- kens that day of boandless courage and devotion, and from that moment dates his intimacy with the Emperor Nicholas, of whom he was one of the first advisers, and whose personal friend he was. An 18:8 he comman¢ed in Turkey the division of horse chasseurs, In 1829 be was named Plenipotentiary, aud mgned st Adrianople, with Marshal Diebiteh and Count Frederick Pablen, the treaty of Adrianople. After the peace he remained some time at Constantinople as Ambas- sador, Recalled tothe companionship of the Emperor, he accompanied nis imperial Majesty io his various travels. We vext find him on a misrion in Holland and at Lon- don, where the affairs of Belgium were arranged. The year 1823 fcund him also at the head of the «xpedition which raved Constantinople from the victorious army ct Ibrahim Pasha, and he signed the treaty of Unkiar-Ské- leset. Since 1845 he has replaced Count de Benckencorff, ceceased, a3 chief of the third rection of the Privae Chancellery of the Emperor, and of the gendarmerie 0” the empire, the colonels of which, distributed over all the governments, have less mission of police, properly so called, thana general inspection of tho administra- tien of the country, and also of control over the Govern: ors as well as the governed. This post, full of trust, gave to Count Orloff free access at all hours of the day to the Emperor, and the right to speak to him of all aad every- thing. In the spring of 1853 he accompanied Nicholas to Oll- mutz and Berlin, where the Czar settled the differences between ihe Courts of Russia and Austria, Finally, when the Esstern question was threatening, in the win- ter of the same year, Orloff was sent on a confidential miesicn to Vienna, to feel the pulse of Francis Joreph and his cabinet. There he discovered that Baron de Mey- -erdorff, the Rusrian diplomat, was wholly outwitted and keptin the dark by Count Buol-Schwuens'oin, the Baron’s brother-in.Jaw, and that the Austrian Emporor was band- ing visibly toward the Western alliance, Ithas been remsrked, avd justly, that the two pereons «who enjoyed the largest share ot the favor of the Emperor Nicholas—Count Bonckendorff ani Count Orloff-were precisely the men renowned for their loyalty, theie spirit of justice and moderstion. These functions Count Oriol still fuifils with the Emperor Alexander II. We exnmot give a better idea of the sentiments which this sovereign entertains towards him than by reproducing the eonclu- vicu of the rercript addressed to him on the 22d ef Au- wast last, on the occasion of the anniversary of his fifty yoars of service:— at iat hat ip ® Gnal and sacred interview with me, my fa her enjoined ie to thank you aa a fciend whi hed always been fatthful vad devoted. pasha This is the personage chosen by the Emperor Alexan- der reo represent Russia at the Peace Conferences at Paria. BARON BRUNOW. Theeecond representative of Ruesin at the Peace Con- ferenoos !# the Baron Branow, for many years am>acva- dor atLoncen. He is a very old servant of the imperial court, more than thirty yeers of his life having been spent im ciplomatic employments. His Excellency ie a German by birth, and his connoetion with the Russian Court wes origwally formed at the period of the Con- gress cf Arx-la Chapelle in 1818, It ia alleged of him that during the Turkish campaign vernor ot tho Princijalities at Bucharest, he eoramitted some offi- cial peculations, for which he was tried and condemned. Fortunately for bim Count Orloff waa on his way to con- cinde the treaty ot Adrianople, and required of the ( vernor at Bucharest some one familiar with Turkish affairs and customs. Rrunow hereupon waa named ay eminently « Gt person; but the difficulty as regarded him Jay in the fact that the verdict ot his condemuation was already confirmed by Nicholas, who was aceustomed tu reject all spveals to hin forbearance, O-loff, ecording ly, taking Bronow on his own personal re ipousibility found him extremely ureful during the negotiations at Adrianople; and on his return to St. Petersburg recom- merded him to the Eroceror as the principal worker of the gorious treaty, The part accordingly wan whito- Brunow w and entered had Aipte io a vice. Of n ratie shill, aq and expert bus'ner# man, ko became the Wicector of the per- sonal chancery of Count Nesselrode, and, moreover, his favorite, After about ten years passed in the Foreign Office at St. Petersbarg, as Comsciller, he was appointed Minister at theCourt of Darmstadt; but a more extensive sphere for the exercise of his great abilities presented itself after ihe lapse of a few years, In the month of August, 1839, Boron Brunow arrived in London on a spesial mission re- Jative to the contest which was then raging between the Sultan ond his Fgyptian subjects, His talents were fally appreciated by the able Minister at the head of affairs in the Court which had been fortunate enough to secure his services; ani Lord Clanricarde, who was at the time tho representative of Great Britain at St. Petersburg, writirg to Lord Palmerston to announce the Emperor’s intention, added that Count Nesselrode had not hesitated to say that, “ unless he were himself to proceed to Lon- don, it would not be possible for the Emperor to sena thither any person more thoroughly acquainted with the foreign affairs and policy of Russia,”? ‘After fulfilling the duties of bis mission im a manner most satisfactory to the court which he represented, Baron Bronow was despatched to Stuttgardt, as the im- périal representative at the Court of Wurtemberg; but in the course of a few weeks it was found expedient to establish him permanently as Russian Ambassador in London, where, for more than fourteen years, he dis- charged, in a manner worthy of the h‘ghest praise, the duties of bis high position, Five different administra- tions guided during that period the eouncile of England. The statesmen of every party, while they respected Baron Brunow as a faithful and able rervant of his sove- reign, also felt ita pleasure and an honor to enjoy his friendrhip. With the late Duke of Weilington his Exee - lency was for many years on terms of close intimacy, ané he was a guest at Walmer only ten days before his death, His revidence in England is intimately connected with the history of European diplomacy. In 1840 and 1841, Baron Brunow signed with Viscount Palmerston treaties relative to the affairs of che East; in the following year he signed, with the Farl of Aberdeen, a treaty for the sap- preesion of the African slave trade; and in 1852 he signed, with Lord Malmesbury, a treaty of succession to the crown of Denmark; and in the vame year # treaty of suc- cessicn to the crown of Greece. Perbeps the highest compliment ever pafd to a diplo- matiet was that offered to Baron Brunow by the late Sir Robert Peel, ine speech delivered after a dinner given by the Ru:sion Company on the 2d of March, 1944, Aliu¢ing to the pacific relations which at the time ex isted between the two countrier, the Erglish statesman gpoke in the tollowing terms of high encomium:— Mas friendly fecling in favor of amicable relations be- tween Great Britain and Rustia stands, too, I trust, oa a footing teo wel! secured to be depenseny sD any acel- dental circumstance, or upon the persovel character of apy wan intrusted with high office or au‘hority. But this Imust add, that so far as the exertion of any one man, or the agency of any single individual, can contri- te to the promotion of this good understanding the {wo countries are under the deepest obtigations t> that distirguished nobieman who is present he:e this day as the representative of the Russisn empire at the Court of Great Britain, There may haye been diplomatists occa- pying his diplomatic station, but there never was a man extrusted with the confidence of the crown who diecharged the duties connected with his offise ia a more hinoxatie cr exemplary manner than those duties have been performed by Baron Brusow. I can un- dertake to esy that there never was a Foreign Minister were zealous for the promotion of the interests of his own country, cr more unwilling to muke aily compro- aise of its honor, or of anything that could quality bis obligations to watch over the interests of which be in the representative; but, rising above all the petty arta of in'zigue, and by the suavity and simpiicity of his own conduct, his excellency has ined the confidence of every ministry with which he bas been called upon to act, end, without sacrificing the interests of his own country, has seoured the personal good will and esteem of all those with whom it bas been his lot to act. ‘The Borcucss Brunow is lady of great personal at- tractions, end during her residence in London, Ashbur- ton House wan distinguishea by its elegant hospitalities and the charm of the society that was always to found there. The departure of the Baron and his beautiful wife frcm London on his withdrawal by his court, caused ee'mg of very general regret in English fashionable circles. THE SARDINIAN REPRESENTATIVE, COUNT CAMILLE BENSO DE CAVOUR. If it were always & political truth that the occasion bricgs forth the man, the avxieties of many States on the svt ject of their future might be dispelled. Unfortunately it bus happereé, and to no State more frequentiy than Piedmont, that the genius for war or for statesmanship bas been fcund wanting in rulers exactly at the critical momen'. ‘The enemies of kingsbip will proclaim that this is an evi inevitably resulting from absolutiam, and that it msy be averted by @ recourse to the constitutional ays tem of government, under which the best man is sure to Gistinguish himself. Yet, if the combatants on either tide were driven to support their arguments by instances, the champion of constitutionalism would be forced to con- fess that, ss a general rule, monarchs have not lacked the energy and the talent demanded at great crises, however much chance may have influenced that result. While the career of the Emperor Napoleon Ill. might be cited as an examp'e on the opposite side, no stronger argument in tevor cf free government could be urged than that affurd- ed by the life avd actions of Count Camille de Cavour, as contrasted with those of the predecessor of the present sovereign of Piedmont. Iv is+carcely too much to claim for Count Cavour that to him ia mainly owing the extraordinary success of the constituticna) or representative form ot government in Piedmont, with a population who were believed to be un fitted by temperament for the exercise of such functions, and who certainly, during the earlier years of their Va:lamentary system, ¢id their utmost to fulfil the pro- pheeies ef their evemies. Fer, it Count Cavour, asa Min- ister, is not exacdy the man whom a cautious people like the English would place at the head of affairs, more espe- cially of the finances, he is of a temper of mind exactly that which was required in the comparative infansy of the Piecmoxtere Parliament, when boldness, firmness, energy and tact were absolutely required, in order to control the State, yet would have only provoked opposi- ticn, if not known to be allied with a strong sympathy for the wants, the wishes, and even the foibles of the people. Count Camille de Cavour assisted at the very birth of the Fiedmcntese Parliamentary system. The late King Carlo Alberto had resolveé—seeing the tendency of the times—to bestow on his subjects a constitutional form of government, rather then find himself ungraciously forced to make such a consession. Still it was but the resolve, not the execu: tior—for which, indeed, s more astute and enla-ged mind than that of Carlo Alberto might have been puzzled to find a rafe form. At this moment he received, amoug other requests of the same kind, a deputation from cer: tain citizens of Turin, praying for the grant of a constitu- Vion. The deputation presented itself to the Count Avet, Minister of Grace and Justice; and, the Kiog having de- manded to know the names of those of whom it was com- posed, it appeared that they were Brofferio, (with whose pame the public are so familiar in the debates of the Piedmontere Parliament), Count Santa Rosa, (afterwards Minister), Col. Durando, (now General and Minister of War anc Marine), and the Count Camille de Cavour. It ig said that when the King heard this last name men- tioned he at once saw that the matter was serious and worthy of attention, The consequence of this was that the King finally resolved to perfect his ides. He called around him the most able men on the constitutional side, and in the end there came forth what was catled the “Statuto’’—a term equivalent to the French “ Charire”)— which, however, was but # crude and imperfect work, little more than scopy of the French charter of 1830, which, at the very epoch of the appearance cf its Sardi- rian prototype, was about to be trampled under fu: by the sepublicans of February, 1848, And why did the Inte King of Sardinia thus pay re« pect to the nameof Count Camille de Cavour? In the first pace, there was the fortunate ac.ident that he lived in the royal memory. Of an ancient and wealthy faroily of Piedmont, and connected with the most noble houses of tha: country, the young Cavour had been ap- pointed, while yet @ mere youth, a page at the King's Court, Here the causticity of his wit and the indepen dence ot his character soon distinguished him, though in ® manner not to render him a favorite of courtiers. He Jeft the Court for the military academy, where ho obtain- ed the rank of Lieutenant of Engineers, But, although ofa bigh and wealthy family, he was but a cadet: nnd in Piedmont military promotion was at that date aimost the sole privilege of the more favored children of birth and fortune. Nor had he made friends at the Court. The reauit was, that he gave up the military caresr; and Jeavirg hin country, he resided at Geneva for some time, and afterwards in England, Those who have followed his subsequent carcer will not be surprised at its events, when they consider in what atmorphere the youth and early manhood of the statesman were passed, In 1847, #t the period of the recognition cf the Count’s rame by the King, he had al eady made himelt a politi. cal notebility in Piedmont, by becoming editor of the Risoryimento, & journal of daring Kberal tendencies, yet pervaded by the aristceratio spirit as ropa cot th of itsariicies, Tia doctrine In somo sort -e-exo! that of Whigism some U"y or sixty yeare og, Hhom Dukes, hears to earldoms, and leaders of epposition, proposed our Parliament measure falling but very little shart what is now termed the People’s Charter. It must n! be understood that Ceunt Cavour, in his journal, pande ed tothe mod; on the contrary, his notions were ' thoroughly aristreratic that he could not, if he woul have taken the laws of his mind from others. Rel tively ovly to the then existing state of things / Piedmont must the “Liberalism”? of this publication ar of its editor be regarded. Carlo Alberto then exhibited more persptcuity some subsequent paseages of his career would imply tt existence of, when he at once saw the importance of rome of Couat Cavour an a member of the deputation which we have referred. It is worth while to follow tt fete of ita other members. The Count de Santa Ror afterwards became, under Victor Emmanuel, Minist’ of Agriculture and Commerce. He was about to die « the very height ot the dispute between Sardinia and th Papal See, and the priests refused to administer the sacr: ment unlec# be would retract his complicity, as Minister in one of the measures of the Cabinet, designed to ri press priestly rapacity and Papal tyranny. The pries’ held out, and the Minister died unabsolved, declaring {| his dying moments that to have done bis duty to hi country consoled him for the loss of what, as ® sincer Catholic, he so highly prized. Colcnel Durando, afte taking part in the wars and rising in the army, becamm as we have said, the Micister of War and Marine—a wo) thy suceeesor to De la Marmora as head of the army Cavour was appointed Prime Minister and Minister « Finance. Count Cavour took no part, as Minister, in the first or gavization cf the new constitution, but helda distir guished porilion in the Senate, His attitude, like hy character, somewhat resembled that of Earl Grey, th first Reform Minister of England. A rather haughty ir dependence was mistaken by the multitude for hoatilit to popular claims; but bis unquestionable talent com manded respect even from those who dreaded his arist« cratic spirit. So lorg as D’Azeglio was the Minister Victor Emmanuel, Count Cavour confined himself to temperate opporition im public, while counseling th King in private, The affair of Santa Rose, to which w have alresdy referred, furnished him with an excuse 1 ‘enlist the popular sympathies. This he did by a:tackin the priests in the Risorgimento, grestly to the delight « the radicals, who from this time forth ceased to regar him os © mere aristocrat; Jerated his pride for th vake cf hie nuppored principles. The persecution of th ying minister by the Archbishop Franz ni and a subor dinate o:curred in August, 1850, In (c'ober of the sam year Count Cavour was called upon to take office unde that constitution which he bad been 49 instrumenta in bringing into the world. He succeeded Coun Pierre Deresci de Santa Rosa as Minister of Agri culture and Commerce. His ability was at once recog nized both by bis colleegues and the pudiic, and he took : lead alike in the Ministry and in the Chamber. Uniti; with the popular sympathies the discip!ine of the ariste crat, he speedily took a porition of command, although his influence did not yet place him in the highest rant asa minister, Feom October, 1850, to May, 1852, when. for a moment, the King wavered in his struggle with th. Papal See, Count Cavour continned the life of the Minis try. Afier the latter epoch he endeavored, though un successfuily, himself to form a government, by a spscie: of “coalitivn,’’ composed of the more moderate men 0 his own and cther parties. He failed; but in the follow ing year he was more successful, and ever since he has been Prime Minister. During the interval betweer his first appointment, on the death of Senta Rosa, ané his accession to the Premfersbip, be has sucsessively filled the cflices of Minister of Agriculture, Mirister o: Commerce, Minister of Finance, Minister for Foreign At fairs, and President of the Council. His present post it that of President of the Council, with the functions o! Prime binister, to which he adds those of Ministen o; Firance, The peculiar merit of Count Cavour is that he ir thoroughly ractical, with, at the sare time, an indomi- table energy and seléreliance. If he entertains some opinions in advance of the immediate wants of the nation, the measures he introduces to enforce them are so wel conceived, and are carried out with so determiacd a will, that they almost create in the public 2 capacisy to profi! by them. Throughout the long strugge of the King with the Pope, it is Count Cavour whv bas sustained his royal master in his resolves, and who has rallied rounc im his pecple. Gallenga, in his ‘History of Piedmont,’ speaks of him as the “‘masey-heaccd, nundred-hanced. sleepiess financier, whose fo icy is such as might be ex: pected from a coalition (connulio, they call it,) of al but the very extreme parties.” Tho same writer, after acverting to the partis] uopopularity of his free tr scheme, adds:— Wnen the Minister comes, in his bustling way, to the Houee of Depuvies, and, rubbing his bands with glee, au- nounces that the people ot Genoa and Sardima, however they may grumble, yet actually pay their taxes, we ean easily understand bis feelings cf exuitation, springing from a conviction that he hes laia on the omnis a burden which a corresponding increase of pablic wel has rot enabled it to bear. In a word, Count Cavour appears to be exactly the man required by Piedmont in its preeent condition—sble tc conciliate the people, yet holding firmly the reias of power; strong in will, yet politie and conciiiatory in ac- uon; deeply imbued with those ideas of progress which rest upon the ¢elf developement of nations rather than on the ¢fficacy of special political dogmas, He has in- vigcrated the whole administrative system of his coun- try, while launching her in new ways of commerce and finance; and {t is due to him to say that «ll his plans are distinguished by foresight and grandeur. He- owes his success to his mind alone, for he is not one of the most attractive of orators; bat he 18 ® master cf-wit and logic, which serve him better than the mere arts of ornamental delivery. It wus by the earnest advice of Uount Cavour that Victor Emanuel joined the Western alliance. That boid step bae given Sardivia a position amongst the European nations to which her territorial mmportance does net otherwite entitle her, aud has procured her the honor of being represented at the Paris Conferences. The Plenipotentiary fitly chosen by Victor Emmanuel is the man whose political talents and sagacity have raised, Sardinia to the rank that she now occupies. _— THE TURKISH REPRESENTATIVES.
