THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 11, 1870.
tmNowof from thi flrtt fat.
following bave been the most prom'nent:
"Pevue de l'HUtolre Universale," published in
1854; "DuRole de la Famillc dans l'Education,"
which was "drowned" by the French Academy
In 1857;-Dc la Llberte des Ciltes en France,"
la 1858; 'Es8als de I'otiilque ct de Utteratnre,"
la 1859 "Du Oouverncment I'arlemcntalre, le
Pecret du 24 Novembre," in 1800;
'Deui Lcttres stir la Reforrae da
Code Tenal;" "Elizabeth et Henri IV;" "Nou
veaux Esaai de Politique et de Litterature,"
and "Quelques Pages d'Histolrc (Jontempo
raine," In 1802: "Essals do Politique et do Lit
terature" (8d series), in 180": aad "Etudes sur
les Moralistcs Francals." in 1801. But the most
noticeable of his published works was a politi
cal pamphlet, Riven to the world In 1300, under
the title of "Les Anclens Partis." In this ho
aisallcd the Government so recklessly that he
was subjected to a prosecution by It, the result 1
Of the trial being a month a incarceration and
the payment of a fine of one thousand francs.
"It wa9 the pretentious elegance of the young
ambassador's literary etyle and speech," said the
Pall Mall Gazette, in commenting on his recent
diplomatic appointment, "which brought him
Into the Academy in 1805." Whether this criti
cism be ju6t or not, the. goal to which every
literary Frenchman aspires was attained by hira
at the age of thirty-six. On the 7th of April,
1855, he was elected a member of the French
Academy, In the place of M. Ampere. In May,
1307, he received still another substantial recog
nition of his literary standing and abilities by
being appointed one of the committee of Ave
members of the French Academy to superintend
a new edition of the "Historical Dictionary of
the French Language." His position as per
manent chairman of this committee he resigned
just before his departure from Paris, and not a
little sensation was created by his presuming to
recommend to the Academy the name of his
successor, a recommendation which was rejected
with great unanimity, amid much excitement.
Returning to his journalistic career, wo find
that hia reputation and fortune as a writer were
bo well established at the time that Government
pressure was brought .to bear so heavily on the
Journal des Debats as to force him for a while
Into purely literary labors, that he gradually
resumed his former line of writing, and by the
combination of elegance, force, and truth, con
tributed In no small degree towards bringing
about that healthy sentiment in the public
opinion of the country which culminated, at the
close of 1809, in the elevation of his warm per
sonal friend M. Olllvier to the Premiership.
Ihe progress of "liberty under the Empire"
caused the gradual disintegration of the Orlean
iat party, and nt the same time threw M. Pre-vost-Paiadol
into the following of Olllvier, in
whose peculiar views on "constitutional
liberty" he has professed to acquiesce for
some time past. The advent of the Tiers Parti
to power found him in full harmony with it and
its leaders, and in his most recent work of Im
portance, "La France Nouvelle," he has sketched
with his accustomed brilliancy the prospects
and destiny cf the country under the new
reqime.
At the elections of 1803 ho had presented
himself as a candidate for the Corps Legislatif
from the sixth circumscription of Paris, but
only to sustain a defeat. Ills political career
was therefore still restricted to journalism up to
the date of his appointment as Minister to the
United .States. The causes which most con
tributed to bring that event about it Is difficult
to define. M. Prevost-Paradol had been such a
prominent and persistent opponent of the
empire that there was probablj' a desire on the
part of the Emperor to conciliate him and the
comparatively small body of followers who
are directly influenced by one who has been
more indebted for success to brilliant intellectual
powers than to a fancy for manipulating the
masses by displays of mere demagoguism. His
accordance with the views of M. Olllvier, of
course, made his entrance into the service of
the empire both possible and natural, and the
selection of the mission to the United States
was perhaps the result of his well-known posi
tion in reference to this country. He has a
perfect command of the English language, and
consequently has enjoyed better facilities than
most prominent Frenchmen for analyzing and
comprehending the natnre of our institutions.
Throughout the recent war of the Rebellion he
was a firm, consistent, and enthusiastic friend
of the Union cause, and in .the columns of the
Journal des Velats frequently gave that cause
the effective support of his brilliant and
trenchant pen. The service thus rendered can
not be appreciated too highly, and in the hearty
welcome which will be extended to the new
Minister, he will have abundant proof ot the
gratitude of the American people.
But, although there was an eminent fitness in
his appointment by reason of his friendly feel
ings towards the country to which he was to be
accredited, although the Emperor was predis
posed in his favor, and although M. Ollivier
himself was In a position to demand it almost
on the grounds of a personal favor, his selection
for the American mission was not accomplished
without much difficulty. There was trouble In
getting M. Berthemy out of the way, but this
was finally accomplished by his transfer to the
Belgian Court, a transfer in accordance with his
inclinations. It is also said that the pro
ject was kept altogether too long from
Count Daru, who was at the head of the Foreign
Office at the time the matter was was first agi
tated, early In the present year. Count Daru's
official dignity sustained such a severe shock
thereby that it is asserted he at first offered a
decided opposition to the project. He yielded
at last, and his final withdrawal from the
ministry entirely removed this obstruction. The
appointment appears to have been fully deter
mined upon about the first of last February,
but it remained In abeyance until the middle of
June, when, after a succession of conflicting
rumors, it was officially promulgated.
When definitely announced, however, it gave
rise to a great deal of excitement in Paris, and
no diplomatic appointment made by the Freuch
Government for some years has excited such
Sharp and savage criticism. Several of the
Liberal papers assailed M. Prevost-Paradol In
the bitterest terms for following the example of
M. Ollivier by accepting office of any kind
BDder the empire. In the columns of the Pay,
M. Paul de Cassalgnac, a reckless supporter of
the empire, made this violent attack:
"'He knows English so well!' the Journals have
been sayinfr for the last six months in Hpt-akin of
the new Minister. But why not the Embassy to
I ondon, as there the Orleans Frlne's could have
ct mmuntcated with them so much more freely? At
P'eaeut tuey will be obliged to send their letters to
Vagtiington. Such behavior on the part of the
Ireucu Ministry is really not considerate. And
have you noticed that the Journal Oflicie In desig
nating the new diplomatist, adds his title of Meml.re
de r Acidemia Francala" t Had lie been an Orphe
onlst ot Suresuea, or a member of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or even of the
llyglenlo Association to protest against the abuse of
tobacco, any auca title would have been registered
M a speclul merit, as aome semblance of reason was
absolutelr to be found I To be a member of the lu
autute, then, Is really something . Evidently, since
it In equivalent to saying that a man Is an Orlcan
lst," To this M. Trcvost-Parodol responded In a
card published on the 18th of June. The term
"vanquished of February" refers to tho Revolu
tion of 1848, by which the House of Orleans was
overthrown. The response to the attack of the
Pay reads as follows:
"Permit me tolniorm you, as you call upon me to
explain, that, since my entry Into public life, I have
been ardently, but plainly, liberal and parliamentary,
and you might have seen by my writings that,
though I may have a preference for a constitutional
monarchy profoundly reformed. 1 have no objec
tionto the 'republican form.' 1 know that you are
led aBtray by my relations and friendships, out a
man may be deeply attached to his friends and yet
remain himself. Thus you are wrong In attributing
to me, on the one hand, faults which I have not
committed, and, on the other, resentments which I
(to not entertain. In a word, you are mistaken in
continually making me out as a vanquished of Feb
ruary, for f am at present but 'a vanquished of De
cember.' Pray pardon this reply, which vou ask for,
andbelleve me yours, etc. Pkrvost-P'aradol.''
Less than two years ago, M. de Cassalgnac
found occasion to make an equally bitter assault
upon the new Minister, because he sub crlbed to
the Baudin monument. In response to that, M.
Prevost-Paradol wrote the followlug uote, under
date of November 8, 1S0S:
"In reproaching nie for my subscription to the
proposed monument to representative Bmclln,
killed December 8, 1H1, you demand if my Intention
Is to thank M. Hamlin for having 'shown to the door
ihe government of my predictions.' I have
thought until now that, if any one was undertaking,
en December 3, 1861, to show a regular government
to the door, it was not M. Baudin. Strict justice
ought to bring you of your own accord to recognize,
outPiric of all party spirit, that M. Baudin has a right
to the same epitaph as the conibatauts of July, 'dead
in defense of the laws.' And as the sacrifice of his
life, made voluntarily and without hope, was accom
panied by an admirable speech, I have ever thought,
long before the celebrity now given to his tomb, that
the memory of Baudin ought to be as dear a that
of the Chevalier dAssas to all those who are still
concerned for the honor of the French name."
M. Prevost-Paradoi's acceptance of the mis
sion has also subjected him to eevere denuncia
tion by the Avenir Xalional and the Union.
From the remarks of the latter journal we take
the following:
"The new diplomatist owes his renown to the
sharpness of his pen against the Imperial rnjime , r
his attacks, finely pointed, opened for him the por
tals of the Academy, which delighted In the epi
grams against the ruling power and which to-day
smiles at the praises bestowed on it by the converts.
If one could feel surprise at anything nowadays, one
would aRk how It happens that all this load of wit
and sharpness can suddenly be laid at the feet of
that Majesty so many times exposed to its raillery.
A certain eirort of imagination is even now required
to picture an ambassador of the Imperial Govern
ment in the shape of a subscriber to the Baudin
monument and a former editor of the Courricr du
ltimanche, which was eight times warned, twice sua
pended, once condemned, and in the end suppressed
as a punishment for its well-known article, 'he Pate
renter.' "
The "Palefrenier" or "6table-boy" article
referred to above, for the publication of which
the Courrier du Limanche was put out of exist
ence, contained the following venomous pas
sage: "France Is a beautiful court lady, beloved by the
most gallant men, who has run away to live with a
stable-boy. She is despoiled, beaten, debased more
and more every day. But it can't be helped ; she
has come to like it, and cannot be wrested from her
woriniess lover."
But the jealousy to which these assaults of
both Liberal and Imperial lournals Is credited
has been fully compensated for by tho universal
favor with which M. Prevost-Paradoi's appoint
ment has been received in other circles. The
American residents of Paris especially have been
enthusiastic in their approval of the selection,
and the new Minister was all the rage among
them from the time his appointment was an
nounced until he took his departure from Paris.
A correspondent, who attended a dinner given
in his honor on June 24 by General J. Meredith
Read, the Amtrican Consul-General at Paris,
thus describes bis personal appearance:
"The first feeling with which one Is inspired on an
acquaintance with the person or the new French
Minister to Washington is one of disappointment.
People look for a diilerent kind of face and ex ores.
siou in the brilliant writer and political satirist,
whose pen was so dreaded by the old majority in the
Chamber, and to whom his present elevation has
given such deep offense, lie is considerably under
the middle height, has a strongly-marked Jewish
style of face, though his family do not belong to that
persuasion; large, clear hazel eyes, a mouth and
chin rather warting in decision, a pleasant smile
and a manner without much personal dignity.
Judging him at the first glance, you would take him
for a smart little Hebrew, whose business brings
him Into eon'iuual contact with the fair sex, for ho
has the ready, jaunty air of the shopkeeper, and the
features perpetually wreathed in smiles which are
proper to the avocation. When vou come to speak
with him all these impressions vanish. He at once
rivets and fascinates your attention. Yon Dnd that
all this bonhomie of appearance serves but as a dis
guise to a mind keen, searching, and skeptical, and
the quiet sarcasm of his manner, grotesque at times
in its forms of expression, serves to complete the
conviction that you are conversing with oue of the
most charming of caveur, but one of the most mor
dant and dangerous of political opponents."
After referring to the daughter and son who
bave accompanied M. Prevost-Paradol to the
United States, the same correspondent continues:
"A third child he leaves here in the care of a rela
tive. M. Paradol was married very young, and is
now a widower at the age of forty-one. He inhabits
a small suite of apartments in the Hue St. George,
an rinqvieme, and lives in the simplest and most un
ostentatious style possible. He is surrounded by
none of the obiet il'urt or bibeltos which adorn the
apartments of literary men, artists, and people of
taste In geueral His study is a small, siuiply-fur-nished
room, with but a slim show of books, and no
pictures. The only feature in it worthy of notice is
lifs arm-chair, a ponderous mahogany one (style de
l'Empire), ornamented with heavy gilt lines, heads
and claws, and which may have been a state chair
of tne first Napoleon. M. Paradol will make no stay
in New York on his arrival. He will push on direct
lor Washington to avoid all provocations to speech
making a practice which the Imperial Government
does not favor on the part of Its diplomatic repre
sentatives. After a short stay at the French Lega
tion, he will proceed to Newport with his children
for the benefit or the searair. He will continue there
the education of his son, which he has commenced,
and is determined to complete unaided.".
On the 1st of May last, Consul-General Read,
who presided two years ago over the Social
Science Congress, held at Albany, N. Y., on
behalf of the association Invited M. Prevost
Paradol to deliver a course of lectures in the
United States. Ills response contains such a
fitting expression of his feelings towards ;his
country, that we append it, as follows:
"Pakis, May 3, 1870. -My Dear Friend :I appre
ciate roost highly the very honorable proposition
which you have had the kindness to transmit to me,
on behalf of the association over which Dr. Samuel
Eliot presides, and 1 beg you to oiler him my most
sincere thanks. Nothing could have more tempted
me than such an occisiuu of testifying to your noble
country by word of mouth the feeiings of esteem,
sympathy, and friendship which I have so often ex
pressed lu writing. Your free Institutions, the ad
mirable fortitude with which you have succeeded in
maintaining them in thetr Integrity through the
hardest trials; the old ties which unite the two
nations, and which the future, I hope, will strengthen
more and more; my earnest desire to know more of
you and to make you better known here; many
motives, in 6hort, would have induced me to accept
with pleasure the flattering invitation and cordial
welcome tendered to me through yju.
'But as 1 told you be'ore, it was settled as far
back as two mouths that I was to go to the I'nited
States as French Minister, and the probaoillty of
that appointment exists still. It Is scarcely neces
sary to observe that if I am to go to you In an otttclal
capacity, lecturing is out ol tne question. I must,
therefore, forgo the aatnipated pleasure of ad-
dressing an American uudieuce, and am compelled
to decline the honor which the American Social
Science Association has tendered me. I shall
always, however, cherish this souvenir with grati
tude, and I beg of you to say as much to your dls
UnguiBhed fellow-citizene.
'Accept the assurance of ray faithful friend
ship, Pkevost-Pabadol.
'General J. Meredith Rend, Jr., Consul-Ueneral of
the United States for France."
Unlets the war cloud which is now lowering
over Europe Is dispelled, the proximity of Cuba
to our shores Is likely to give riss to complica
tions which may render M. Prevost-Paradoi's
diplomatic labors rather more Important than
there was probability of their being at the time
of his appointment. If France goes to war
with Prussia and Spain, Cuba will be the most
vulnerable point of the latter country, and it is
barely possible that an attack upon the Island
may render It necessary for the United States to
take more fleclded steps than heretofore
for the protection "of American citizens
and their property. There Is another
Important matter which the new Minister will
be called upon to Bottle. - The postal service
between this country and France has long been
in a very disjointed and harassing condition, and
the inconveniences suffered by the mercantile
communities of both nations have imperatively
demanded a reform. Several unsuccessful at
tempts at the negotiation of a satisfactory postal
convention have recently been made in Farls,
by .special representatives .of this country, as
it is not the custom for regular
ambassadors to meddle with such trifles as post
office business. M. Prevost-Paradol, however,
has been entrusted by the French Government
with full powers to conclude a new postal
treaty. In the negotiation of this treaty, the
United States will be represented by the Post-mutter-General
and not by the Secretary of
State, and the new Minister's thorough faml'.i
rlty with our language will greatly facilitate the
negotiations, a speedy and successful issue to
which is desirable on account of the commercial
and social Interests of both countries.
