    THE CHEVALIEH DE CHATELAIN . To the Editor of « The ^ Publishers Circular : I

    I A fri end has furnished me with the following details respecting the circumstances which led to his ! quitting The end France of the . They 1830 may found not be him without the editor interest of to the your readers : — de la Gironde at BordeauIt

    of to Ma the y quick 1831 , 'the by the Kin Court ^ of Assizes Barricades of the / and Gironde , in consequence ( it being , the M . first Chatelain press prosecution was condemned of the on rei the gn ) , 6 to th six months' imprisonment and a fine of 1320 francs . He employed some of the time of his impisonment r

    , in drawing up a report to the Prefect of the Girocde—then M . de Pressac—on the unhealthiness of the fort of H & , a work which brought about great reforms ; and as the illness which had caused him to leave London in 1827 had again , in consequence of the unwholesome state of things , attacked him in an

    aggravated form , he asked to be transferred to Ste . Pelagie , in Paris , where he might be better attended to . But the Government of Louis Philippe , not willing to create a precedent for the transfer from one prison to anotherafter having ascertained through M . Jaydeputy for the Girondethat M . Chatelain would not

    refuse his , pardon , the latter was spared the three months , still remaining . , It was indeed with him a question of life or death . He was but thirty ; the desire to live was strong in him ; and , a republican though he was , and had been for many a day , he entered no protest and received his pardon with a

    I sentiment of gratitude , of which he gave proof by dedicating to Queen Amelie , in 1835 , ' Les Lettres sur I la Mythologie comparee a l'Histoire , ' since published in English in the ' Monthly Prize Essays . ' On the I 3 rd of December , 1835 the Moniteur Universel contained the following passage : ' Mons . E . Ohatelain

    I of the Constitwtionnel , , several of whose articles on art , literature , and industry have appeared in our , I columns , lias . iust received the decoration of the Order of Civil Merit of Prussia . The worthy successor I of the great Frederick has the same sentiments as that illustrious sovereign towards French writers and

    French artists . This is by no means the first time that Berlin applauds the works of our literary men . The " Lettres sur la Mythologie comparee a l'Histoire" have brought on M . E . Chatelain this flattering I distinction . '
