Voltaire's Deatlib.d.
From the Tall Mall Gazette,
A new dooument has just been published at
Paris, bearing on one of the most contested
subjects in literary history the death of
Voltaire. In the Journal des Dtfbats of Satnr
day last, M. II. Taine, the author of the
llistoire de la Litteratare Anglaide," has
given to the world a new and contemporary
account of the death of the great Frenchman.
This aoconnt was forwarded to M. Taine by
Mr. cohnyler, the American Consul at Mos
cow, who discovered it among tne Russian
at chives. It was originally sent by Prlnoe
Ivan Bariantinsky, the Russian ambassador
at Paris at the time of Voltaire's death; to
the Empress Catharine II. The Ambassador
says, "Knowing that your Imperial Majesty
takes a deep interest in all that concerns this
great man, I have prepared for your Majesty
the following acoonnt ol tne deatn or Voltaire,
by one ot my friends who was well acquainted
with all the details." The naratlve is not
signed; from inteinal evidenoe M. Taine
judges it to have been written by a dootor.
"At all events," be says, "it is perfectly
authentic and of great interest." The. whole
aoconnt is a long one, and fills more than
three columns of the Ddais, and we oan only
give here a few extracts whioh appear to
throw a new light on the circumstances
attending Voltaire's death
We omit the first part of the despatoh, in
whioh the writer states what was already
known, viz : that Voltaire hastened his death
by an overdose of opium whioh he took to
alleviate the violent pains brodght on by his
abuBe of coffee. The most important part of
the new acoonnt ia that of relating the list
moments of Voltaire, and the difficulties with
which his burial was attended. Voltaire, ai
We know already, had, at the desire of hi)
relative?, who were anxious that he should
have a Christian burial, confessed himself and
made a sort of recantation, said to have been
in the following terms by the uassian des
patch: "I, the undersigned, certify and pro
test tbat 1 die in tbe Catholio, Koman, ami
Apostolical Cbnrch. It has happened that
have caused scandal, by my works, to tbe
Churoh and to religion, I ask God'a pardon for
it, hoping tbat in His goodness he will vouch
safe to pardon my faults." Nothing could
well be more vague; there is no word of belief.
nor even a denial of his errors, and it is no
wonder the priests were but half satisfied. Oa
Saturday, the 30th of May, 1778, all hope ot
his recovery being abandoned, Voltaire's
nephew, the Abbe Mignot, sent for the raid of
fciamt bnlpice (tne parish, in wnion Voltaire
lay dying) and for the Able Gantier, to whom
the aloiesaid confession had been made two
months before. We continue in the words of
the new account:
Tbereiwo priests came to M. de Voltaire's
boukt:bewa then in a slats of languor, ex
naui lion, and stupor quite frtuniful. lie was
too, extremely weak from pain and from tho
want ol nonilsbmeni. tua btomacn being no
lungei able to retain any food. When tue two
Jirlthls eniertd M. 09 Voltaire' cuamber, tbey
ouud luere M. and M. . both of ibooi
friends of M. tie Voltaire. Tbs gentlemen
asked tbe care if tbelr Drasence would he obiec-
tli nablo (d tropt at ao sad a time. TUoejre
replied no. Tuen the arrival of the cord was
announced to M. de Voltaire. Toe nrat lima
be aDneared not to have heard. On being told
a secoud time, he replied, "Tell'blm I respect
him," and he passed his trm round the cure, to
mark bis MtlHOhueul. Then tne cure onine
nearer lo ine bed, and, after having spoken of
God, of death, and of thealck man's approach

and 'lu the same writing declared that bo

that be meant to deprive it of all right of
Christian burial). The Abbe U antler, the onn
feaaor of M do Voltaire, elgned a sort of certifi
cate of coufeaslon, aud the two priests retired.
Tbls look place between six and seven in the
evening, boon after M. de Voltaire culled for

Ma nenhew. was then abbot. The bjdy, when
laid in the grave, was covered with two feet
of Quicklime. ThU is narrated by tt-a Rus-
aian desnatoh on tbe evidenoe of an eye-wit-
ness. who happened to be at Cellleres at the
time of the bniial. The writer of tbe despatch
nne.lndfl bv saving. "Yon may rely on the
of these facts: I have them from
M an intimate friend of M. de Voltaire,
who did not quit him for an instant through
out his illnes. I owe also several particulars
to mv friend M . who saw M. de Voltaire
three or four times a day, and took care to
