Abel Francois Vlllemnta. The cable announces the death of Abel Francois Villemain, the distinguished French author and politician. M. Villemain was born in Paris, June 11, 1791, and had conse quently attained the ripe age of seventy nine years. He received a careful education at the Imperial Lyceum, now College of Louis le Grand, and evinced, at an early age, abilities of no mean order. When but nine teen years of age he was appointed assistant professor of rhetoric in the Charlemagne College, and soon after instructor in French literature at the normal school. In 1811 he was appointed to deliver the Latin harangue at the distribution of prizes, and ably ac quitted himself. The following year he wou a prize proposed by the academy for the best eulogy of Montaigne. Having been appointed assistant professor f modern history in the faculty of letters, he began a course of lectures early in Is 14, witn a historical view of the beginning of the fif teenth century. In the same year he won the academic prize, his essay being a dis course on "Criticism." The allies at this time occupied Paris, andYillemain in reading his essay before the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia took occasion to pay a glowing eulogy to these two sovereigns an act which was long remembered against him iy nis countrymen, in iit ne received a third academical prize for his eulogy of Mon tesquieu, and was promoted to the chair of eloquence, in which he displayed remarkable powers as an extemporaneous lecturer. After the second testoration he entered the Minis try as chief of the Department of Printing and Publishing, and was afterwards named as Maiire act liequetes to the Council of State. In 1827, finding himself in opposition to the Government on the subject of the press law, he retired from office. As professor he was occasionally occupied, from 1816 to 182G. in lecturing on the literary history of the modern epoch. In 1819 appeared his best known work, a life of Cromwell. In 1830 he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies by the opposition. In the debates of that body he took an active and important part. Appointed one of the Council of Publio Instruction in 1831, and vice-president of that body in 18.52, he lost his seat in the Chamber, but was indemnified by promotion to the peerage in May, 1833. He became Minister of Public Instruction in the Soult Cabinet in 1839, but resigned in 1840, in company with his colleagues. At the end of a few months he resumed the same post under the premier ship of Guizot, holding it for nearly four years, when, in 1844, having incurred the displeasure of Louis Philippe by his liberal views, ne was dismissed. After his expulsion, he resumed his literary labors and only occasionally took part in the exciting politics of the time. After his court d'etat of 1852, he refused to take the oath of allegiance to Napoleon. The best known of M. Villemain's works are: "Vie de Crom. well," "Cours de Litterature Francaise," and "Discourses et Melanges Litteraires." He, however, wrote and published many other volumes. In politics he was a liberal conser vative, zealous in his advocaoy of the liberty of the press, and after the Revolution of 1830 a warm supporter of the government of July. For many years he has lived in comparative retirement. FRANCE. The Election Itetarn. Pahis, May 10.
