On seventeenth of Mavdied Charles les Maurice d Pcrigord, Prince de Talleyrand; a name than which few I the present aze will stand - more steadfastly inscribed upon the page of lmtry. Between the opening anil the close of his long life a period in tervened. in which France became the theatre of changes and vicissi tudes. which were the wonders of their time, and which will questionless be looked upon, as marvelous anil memo. rable throuat all the time to come, Ihev must be so reiynled, not onlv on account Jof their smique and startling character, bt because of their mark ed and wide-spread influence upon the destinies of man f nation. In the pro duction, and in Vj' f a si i io nip g, of tliosc chanjfes he haiitJlli t Ai. Power ful in intellect, towering iiv ambition, profound in hypocrisy, and peerless in cunning, what a host of bravo and prouil and chivalrous contemporaries did he survive. And with what a cool and calculating determination did he pursue his way from year to year from pa iy to" party from ruler to ruler ami from revolution to revolu tion, actuated and guided continually and singly DJ n' ,ni 'rtl)'e ejfihne. Few men, of his degree, have passed through life surrounded by more of flattery, and the outward seeming of respect, and few have been more uni veraally despised on account of hollow heartlessness, and disregard of prin ciple. Upder the impression that we shall please our readers by giving them a brief klch of the career of this re-: markable man, we cheerful 1 proceed to do so; premising, however that our space isvery limited. M. de Talleyrand was a descend ant of an ancient and noble family. He was bora at Paris A. D. 1754. lie was educated (or the church, at the seminary ofSL Sulpice. As Abbe.de Perigord he was distinguished for wit and other accomplishments. In 1780 he was appointed agent-general for the clergy. As UUhop of Autoii he was elected by the elagy of his diocese to the states-general in 1785. lit now inclined to favor (he popular side, and was appointed, in 1 790, president of the assembly. Having taken the constitutional swth imposed upon the clergy, and taken part in the conse cratiouof the first constitutional bish ops, he was escomrounicated by the Pope. In consequence his- bishopric was resigned, and he was elected a member of the directO'y of the depart ment of Paris. Subsequently he fell into disrepute, anil visited the United States, where he engaged in mercan tile affairs. In 1797, the decree a- gainst4iimhavina been previously re- peaieu, ne was again hcutcit eus in French politics. This yesr he re ceived the appointment f Minister of Foreien Affairs to thedirectwryi but his proceedings pave so much dissatis- r . a . i : t i .i. L - - i, ) : 1 action io ne puoim mai in w uongcu to resign his portfolio, in 1799whieh, however, he again resumed after the revolution of the eighteenth of Bru maire. In 1803 he was created, by the Emneror. severeirn Piince - of of Beneven'nm. A dispensation, from the Pope released him from bis cleri cal vows, and enabled Mm to legalize his connection with hi kept mistress. In 1807, having t. in so.no degree, the coGdenee of Napoleon, he was transferred from the post of Minister , ' : , ' . of Foreign AlalrsTto that of 1ce-! Urand-blector. llieir misunderstand ing, however, cvotinaed to increase ntd 1814, whea Napsdesm's evil fdr taoe brgan to overtake him, and Tal leyrand was placed at the head of the provisional government. lie was soon in favor with the Comte d' At to' and his allies, and was raised, in quick succession, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and to the peerage under llie title.ol l'nnce de I alleyrand v e nnd him next a conspicuous member of the Congress of the Allies, at Vienna, assiduously striving to ingratiate himself into the good graces ol the legitimates.. During the )tiun dred days." he stood caatioasly aloof trom the tmperor, joined in the dec larations of March l&aod t5, against him, , and finally paid ,Jiis court to Louis XVI 1 1. Very - much to his credit he subsequently refused, as Prime Minister to sign the treaty so disgraceful to the French people, and immediately resigned his post. . lie now seemed to have lost all influence in national affairs; but m 1818 be a gain began to attract attention as a leader of the opposition in the- Cham ber of Peers. Subsequent to the rev loution of 1830; he rose to a high de gree with the government of Iouis Phillips. The foltpwing, in relation to rite finals, of the arch diplomatist, comes trom an English paper; "He had been out in his carriage on the previous Sun day, bat a slight sore produced a o an- tlwax, or gangrene, anil he was thus carried off in hii eighty-fourth year. ITehad for some time written, and ad dressed to the Phpe a retraction of his conduct at the famous ceremony of the Federation, where he forgot his episcopal ordination, ami condescend ed to bless that democratic and some what heathen ceremony. He receiv ed absolution and extreme unction, and died in the poare of the Catholic Church; although the Archbishop of fans, to whom the Prince- had sent a copy of his letter to the Pope, kept aloof from his bcd-iile. Sine Louis Philippe, however, visited the death bed of the veteran statesman, w hose respect for etiquette and courtly ideas was manifest, even in his dying mo ments. He insisted on presenting to the King all who happened to. be with him, and who had not undergone that ceremony, and he acknowledged the King's visit, not as an set of warm and private friendship, but as 'a great honor done to his 'louse.' Madam Adelaide, sister of the King, also visited the Prince. Messrs. Thiers and Mole also Attended his last moments." The mind of M. de Talleyrand was early appreciated by MiraVeau, who pronounced it one of the most power ful of the age. His capacity waa cor rectly estimated, also by Napoleon. In- ileetl the soldier-emperor am! the priestly-statesman seem to have under stood each other in all respects. They were desirous of profiting by each oth er's strength, and they were mutually suspicious, it has been said that lal- leyrand excelled the Emperor in fore cast. t)f this we have some doubt. lie had, unquestionably, more coolness and more patience. By the quick and fi ery impulse of his ambition. Napoleon wassometimes leu to disregard the re monstrances of his friends, and the dic tates of his own better judgment. An instance of this kind was the mem orable Spanish invasion.- The opposi tion of 'Talleyrand to this impolitic measure was the prelude to their final estrangement. It would have been better, perhaps, for the destinies of France, that they had never met, or else that they had never separated. Both had undoubted capacity for the accomplishment of great results, but wide indeed was the contrast between their modes of operations The move ments of the Minister were made with an ever-present carefulness and cir cumspection, but he had not one par ticle of the Emperor's noble and chiv alric fearlessness of spirit. Those who opposed the one were conquered by his shu filing tact, wheedled, over reached, circumvented those who op posed the other were suddenly and fiercelyoverborne, and left prostrate a lonr his path. We have snid Prince Talleyrand was profound in hypocrisy. Such seems to have been the opinion of his country man who penned the following: "He quitted life with a calmness that could not have been exceeded by the purest conscience. In death he preserved all the stoicism ol his life. He went out of the world like a true courtier, by u sing flatterinz words to his King, and like a true diplomatist, by negoci.iting with the Pope, with whom, as a conse crated bishop, a married priest, and ex communicated catholic, he had many accounts to settle." Another extract says, in relation to the. funeral of the veteran diplomatist: "Upholsters were employed during the whole of Monday last in decorating the . Church el the Assumption and the Ardent Chapel, in which he was to be laid out in state, an hour before the funeral ceremony. The court yard ol his Hotel was already hung in black, and in-the center. stood a rich canopy, ander which, the body was to be exposed previons'to its being conveyed to the Church. The. corps diplomatique, tho authorities, the Chamber of Peers, were to attend the funeral, a nd the four comers of the pall were to be borne by Marshal Soult. Chancel'or Pasquier, Count Mole, President oF the council, and the Duke of Broglie, as grand dignitaries of tlko order of the Legion of Houor. Fur of the royal cirriages. follow the procession." j TIIF2 STAR' RALEIGH, JULY 53, 3FSS. Uepnblieass Whig; Ticket roa ovsbrss, EDWARD B- DUDLCY Elettitn, .liifuit i, 1S3S.

What, then, ia tbe poaition which Governor Branch holds with reaped to hia awn recorded opiniona? It will ba recollected that in 1829 General JaeKson waa inaugurated aa President; Got. B. waa then hia firm friend, and accepted a place in hia cabinet. The reaaona which induced him to extend hia aupport to Gen. Jackson were gi en in hia speech before the Senate of this Wats in 1834. He there aaya he believed hia opin tone orthodox; that he was a disciple of the 8tate Righta doctrinea of '98 and 90; that he disapproved tbe extravagaace of Mr. Adams' , administration, and that he would eurtnil the executive patronage. These (ten. JVkaon .himself avowed, in hia inangurol addjrees, to be th political doctrinea which brought him into power, and which would govern his administra tion. Did subsequent events prove hia devotion : to auch principles? Let Gov. Brail, answer. It will' be borne in mind he was eleated to the Senate of thi uncotu promising' opponents Gan.Ji ministration. Hfe delivered, during t his celebrated speech denouncing terms its abuses. He says (page 14 The last year of Mr. Adams's lion, ha expended a little more than liona of dollars. Gen.

It was for this, then, that Gov. Branch, de serted the "greatest and best," and can he now permit himself to be openly announced aa the supporter of all the prominent measures of Mr yen Burcn's administration? Has he nnt left these pledgee, made by Gen. Jackson, equally unredeemed and abandoned Mr. Adams ex pended twelve millions of dollars, and it was called extravagance, and Gov. B. joined as load ly in the outcry aa any one; but Mr.- Van tiu ren has expended more than double the amount, and has actually brought the nation in debt, and lo f Cov. B. very unassumingly announces him self a candidate to promote hi interest and per petuate hia miarnle? r,c us aee whether there were not ether pledge unredeemed, in fact violated, by Gen. Jackson's party. Go. B. sspported Gen. Jack eon, because he waa friendly to the doctrine of '98 and '99. In hia inaugural and first mes sage he declared himself thus. Bat how long was it before the proclamation wa sent forth to the country, followed by tbe force bill, with it tyrannical provisions? There never were issued from the American pre two document con taining stronger federal doctrine than these. Did Gov. Branch approve ibis attempt to pros trate a sovereign Stale, and shed the blood- of her citizens? In this too, he declared that pledge bad been dieregarded. In 1833, Gen. Jackson, prompted by a desire to prostrate at all hasarda the Rational Bank, removed the public money ran the place in which it had been de posited by law. To effect thia object, it waa necessary for him to rensovs from office Mr. Du ne, who refased to be the instrument of hi usurpation. The law depositing the public moneys in th Bank gavejto tha Secretary Me- 7Yeotury, and no one else, the power to. re move them. He declining to do it, the Prcsi dent attumed the retptntibilfty, and had them removed. He actually claimed unlimited con. trol over th depositee.
