Madame De Chateaubriand.
TO THE, EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Brighton, Sept. 8, 1824. Sir,-I have just receivea a letter from London, by which I am informed that in your paper of yesterdav there appeared srnne remarks upon Mla(dame (le Chateaudriand; which (if the report I received be true) appear to me as unfounded as they are cruel. I am iniormed that Madame de Chlateaubriand, who has as nobly employed her influence with her husband while he was in office, as she kas now nobly shared his disgrace, is represented as diverting to her own use the funds of an asylum, called " AIarie Therese," of which she was the plincipal fotn(ler. DeprivedI of lher fortune, as she has been, by the Revolution-married to a man whose ge- nerosity knows no bounds, whose lilerality is as cxten- sive as his real Tre)ns are contracred-let me assure you that the Viscountess de Chateaubriand, even in the days of ler power and influence, deserved yotir praise, as well as that of every enlightened Christian, for haviag, by her zaal; activity, perseverance, and disinterestetness, founded, and, I may almost say, supported so noble an institution. 8he has expended her income, though small, -exposed her health, thoucTh feeble, in this unidertaking. It has been my good fortune to be placed in a situation where I could learn the minutest details of her conduct, from a high personage now in this country; who, in sharinig her labours, has learnt to appreciate her inexhaustible charity. The cad that M. Ae Chateaubriand sought, and has obtatin d, has been to ofFer to those individuals which the misfortune of the times have precipitated into poverty and want, an asylum against their bodily as well as mental suffarings, well knowing how inadequate to that purpose wvere the common hospitals. There is a pri(le, in the re- membrance of hetter days, which prevents many persons, however destitute, from taking refuge in these publie esta- blishments: nothing, Mheretbre, rould be more delicate than the idea of o& erig them, under the special patronage of Her Royal Highness Madame the Duchess rI'Angoulene, such an asylum. It is supporteAl by voluntary contributions; and the most distinguished persons of the state visit it by turns, to fulfil those charitable duties which are cornmand- ed to us by the Gnspel,-to relieve the suffering, to attend the sick, and to console the uinfortunate. New, if warmtnh of political feeling has betrayed your correspondent into the expr(ssion of insinuations which can only recoil, in such a case, upon the author of themn, let me entreat you not to allow the opportunity to escape to make to this noble lady, now deserted by the vulgar crowd, an avoloav. which wdil he RR hebnn,irahle ta VonrnPlf aS it will be gratirying to all higlh-imindled men. A.B. -.- we nave readily given insertion to the preceding letter, knowing that the highly respectable wvriter of it has the very best mcans of information on the subiect. MADAJME DE CHATEB4UBiIXAVD.
