the Local Courts Bill that he swore at first he would never come
there again. What he said--that 'if they had considered it a party
question the result would have been very different,' which Brougham
unaccountably took for a threat against the Government--was levelled
at his own Tory friends for not supporting him. On the third reading
they mean to have another fight about it. I understand the lawyers
that the Bill is very objectionable, and calculated to degrade the
profession. I sat by Talleyrand at dinner the day before yesterday,
who told me a good deal about Mirabeau, but as he had a bad cold, in
addition to his usual mode of pumping up his words from the
bottomest pit of his stomach, it was next to impossible to
understand him. He said Mirabeau was really intimate with three
people only--himself, Narbonne, and Lauzun--that Auguste d'Aremberg
was the negotiator of the Court and medium of its communications
with Mirabeau; that he had found (during the provisional Government)
a receipt of Mirabeau's for a million, which he had given to Louis
XVIII.
