Prince Talleyrand related to the family of Stanley,
Earls of Derby.—The maternal grandmother of
Prince Talleyrand was the Princess Orsini, (la Prin-
cesse des Ursins, as the French styled her) who act-
ed so distinguished a part in the Court of Philip V.
of Spain, and whose first husband, as it appears from
"Archdeacon Coxe's History of the Bourbon Kings
of Spain," was Adrian Blaise de Talleyrand, Prince
of Chalais. She was of the illustrious family of La
Tremouille, from which sprung the heroic Countess
of Derby who in her husband's absence, defended
Latham House against the Parliamentary forces un-
der General Fairfax, in 1645. That the talents of
the Princess Orsini have descended to her grand-
son, few will doubt; and it must also be allowed
that he has inherited her courtly and insinuating
manners, if not all her high spirit, her frankness,
and her disinterested attachments. Literary Gaz-
ette.
