The fl&Dguiaary fanaticism of the French
Revolution has no representative of such
odious and repuleive figure as Marat, the
original eelf-styled “Friend of the peo
ple.** By birth a Swiss, of Calviniatic
pareuts, he has led a strange, skulking
life for five and forty years—latterly, a sort
of qn&ck raedieiner —when the great
national crisis brought him to the surface
as a journalist and member of the Con
vention. Less than five feet high, with a
frightful countenance, and maniacal eye,
ho was shrunk from by most people as
men shrink from a toad; but he had fran
tic earnestness, and hesitated at no vio
lence again't the enemies of liberty, and
60 he cam t o possess the entire confi
denco and affection of the mob of Paris,
His constant cry was for blood; he liter
ally desired to see every well dressed per
son put to death. Every d&y in his
paper, V Ami du Peuple, was fill' d with
clamorous demands for slaughter, and the
wish of his heart was but too well fulfil
led. By the time that the Bummer of 1793
arrived, he was wading in the blood of
his enemies. It was then that the young,
enthusiastic girl, Charlotte Corday, left
her native province, tor Paris, to avenge
the fate of her friend, Barbarous. She
BOQgbt Marat at his house —was admitted
to see him in his hot bath—and stu rt k a
knife in his heArt. His death was treated
as a prodigious public calamity, and his
body was deposited, with extravagant
honors, in the Pantheon; but public feel
iog took a turn for the better ere long,
and the carcass of the wretch was then
ignominiously extruded.
The contemporaries, the revolutionary
figure of Marat had risen like a frightful
nightmare: nobody seemed to know
whence he had come, or how he had
spent his previous life. There was, how
ever, one notice of bis past history pub
lished in a Glasgow newspaper, four
months before his death, rather startling
in its tenor, which, nevertheless,, woold
now appear to have been true. It was as
follows: “From an investigation lately
token at Edinburgh, it is said «hat Mara-.,
the celebrated orator of the French Na
tional Convention, the humane, the mii3
the gentle Marat, U the i ame person who, a
few ye&rß ago, taught tambouring in this
city, under the name of John White. His
conduct while he was here was equally
unprincipled, if not as atrocious, as it
has been since hie elevation to the legis
iatorship. After contracting debts to a
very considerable amount, he absconded,
but was apprehended at Newcastle, and
brought back to this city, where he was
imprisoned. He soon afterwards executed
a summons of cessio bonorum against his
creditors, in the prosecution of which, it
was found that he had once taught in th**
academy at Warrington, in which LV
Pnestly was tutor, that he left Warring
ton tor Oxford, where, after some time,
oe found means to rob a mustum of a
number of gold ccms. and medallion-;:
that he was traced to Ireland, aopreheod
od at an assembly there in the ‘character
of a German Count, brought back to this
country, tried, convicted, and o-ntenced
to some years’ hard lauor on the Thames.
He was refused a cessio , and his creditors,
tired of detaining him in jai', after a
confinement of several months, set him at
liberty. He then took up his residence
in this neighborhood, where he continued
about nine months, and took his final
leave of this country about the beginning
of the year 1787. *
He was very ill looking, of a diminu
“J® 812 c, a man of uncommon vivacity,
a disposition, and pos
Bested of a very uncommon share of legal
knowledge. It is skid that, while here, he
ÜBed to call his children Marat, which he
said was his family name."
These revelations regarding MarSt were
certainly calculated to excite attention.
■Probably, however, resting only on an
anonymous newspaper paragraph, they
were little regarded at the time of tfcel
publieation. It is only of late years
that we have got any tolerably certain
light regarding Marat’s life in England
it now appears that he was in this coun
try in 1774, when thirty years of age, be
ing jnst the time when the differences bo
tween the American Colonies and the
Mother Country were coming to a crisis,
in that year ho pabhsbrd in English, a
huge pamphlet (rOyal bvo , price I'is.,'i
under the title of "The Chains of Slav
cry . a work wherein the clandestine and
villain on 3 attempts ot princes to ruin
liberty are pointed out, and the dreadful
scenes of despotism disclosed : to which

timely attention to the choice of proper
representatives in the nest Parliament.
Becket, Eondon.” Moatlikely, this work
would meet with bat little encouragement
in England, for the current of public feel
rag ran in the opposite direction. In 1776
we find him dating from “Church street,
Soho, a second and much less bulky
pamphlet on a wholly different subject
-An Inquiry into the Nature. Cause, and
Care of a Singular Disease of the Eyes,
hitherto unknown, and yet common, pro
duced by the use of certain Mercurial
Preparations. By J. P. Marat, M. D.
hie here vented some quackish .ideas he
aad, regardmg eye-diseases, and oat of
which he is said at one time to have made
a kind of Uving in Paris. In the prefatory

incident in his life was ihe Oxford felonv
adverted to in the Glasgow Star. At least
there can be little donbt that the follow
iog extract from a letter of Mr. Edward
Creswell, of Oxford, dated February p>
1.7 b, refers to Marat under an assumed
name :

of news respecting a robbery which was

THE PITTSBURGH POST, MONDAY MOUSING. DECEMBER 21,
10 bbsd the museum waa tried,
and being found guilty, was “sentenced to
work on the river Thames for five years.”
These extracts appear, with due authen
tication, in the Notea and Queries (Ben
tember IC, 1860 ) and they are supported
in their tenor by the publication of the
day. The robbery of the Ashmolean Mu
seum at Oxford by a'person styled at first
u? ft 18 ? hair dresser,” and afterwords
. “ a . ir t ° ow a prisoner in Dablio,” is
noticed m the Gentleman's Magazine for
February and March, 1770. Subsequent
ly, it is stated in the same work under
September 1, that ‘-Petre le Maitre, the
French hair dresser, who robbed the mu
seum at Oxford of medals, &c., to a con
siderable amount, was brought by habeas
corpus from Dublin, and lodged in Oxford
Castle.” Unfortunately, this record fails
to take notice of the trial.
What a strange career for a Swiss ad
venturer from first to last ! A pamphle
teer for the illumination of British electors,
a pamphleteer for a quack cure for the
eyes, a teacher of languages atEdinborgh,
an usner at the Warrington Academy
under the sincere and profound Priestley,
a felon at Oxford, a forcat for five years
on the Thames, afterwards a teacher of
tambouring at Glasgow, running into debt,
and going through a struggle tor white
washing, by the peculiar Scotch process
of cessio bonorum, which involves the pre
liminary necessity of imprisonment; fiual
ly, for a brief space, the most powerful
j raDce * an d, in that pride of place,
struck down by a romantic assassination
—seldom has there been such a life. One
can imagine, however, what bitterness
would be impJanted in such a nature by
the felon s brand and the long penal ser
vitude, and even by the humiliation of the
cessio bonorum. and how, with these ex
periences rankling beyond sympathy in
the wretch’s lonely bosom, he might at
length come to revel in the destruction cf
aU who had deserved better than himself.
