PAULINE BONAPABTE. [concnupgp. | Napoleon had now become Emperor, and was beset by a passion for royalty. He made his brothers kings, and to his sisters he gave duchies and principalities. On Elisa, the eld- est, he bestowed the republic of Lucea and Piombino; Caroline he made Grand Duchess of Berg; then came the turn of the princcss Pauline. She wascreated Duchess of (iuas- talla. ‘Even a molo-hill,’’ we are told, ‘* seemed too much for ber to govern’ Had there been kings in the air, as in the time of the sylpbs, she might have been enveloped in a pink and blue cloud richly perfumed, and sent to reign in those fortunate regione where the sceptre of government is a spring of flowers. This, however, did not suit her; her tears and her pretty airs amused her brother for a time; but as it was notin his nature to be patient, he became angry at last. The princess Elisa disoovered that Lucca and Piombino were miserable’ principalities. She complained ; the princess Caroline complained; the princess Pauline complained; it was a chorus of griev- ances. ‘“Oncefor all,’’ exclaimed the Emperor, “what does allthis mean? Will theso Iadies never be content? One would really think we were sharing the inheritance of the late king our father.’’ As Napoleon divided the week, Pauline’s evening for reception was Wednesday. Sho did less to promote gaiety and sociability than apy member of the family. She was too indo- lent to make any other preparation than that of her own toilet, beforehand, or to listen dur- ing the evening to anything beyond her own praises She was negligent of her guests, among whom were very few’handsome wo- men—a circumstance due to special contri- vence of her own. Her list of invitations vill manceuyre3 into confusion ; the rider thus at tracted Napoleon’s attention. He observed that the pelisse given to his sister had been transformed into a bhussar’sdollman. ‘M. de Canonville,”’ he exclaimed, in a voice of thun- der, ‘* your horse is too young and his blood is too hot; be enough to go and cool bim in ' Three days afterwards, the young man quitted Paris upon his exilo, leaving Pauline, for once, in a state of genuine afilic- tion. She sent @ messenger once a fortnight to see him and to speak with bim, as a letter did not sufficiently tranquilize her. M. de Canouville bebaved well and distinguished himself in action. He was accidentally killed by the discharge of a cannon, after a battle which would have entitled him to promotion. dl ca of Pauline, surrounded with dia- monde, was found upon his person; it wascon veyod to Murat, who returned it to his sister- in-law. The inconstant princess, who had already begun to forget ber lover in his absence, for- got him completely upon his death She soon resumed her fashionable career, und plunged with more ardor than ever into the elegant follies of the court ‘‘ She was one evening,” says Madame Junot, “to represent Italy, in a fancy quadrille, to be danced in the theatre of the Tuileries. She was on that occasion the most perfect embodiment of beauty that can be imagined. She wore upon her head a light casque of burnished gold, surmounted by smail ostrich feathers of spotless white. Her borom was covered with an wgis of golden scales, to which was attached a tunic of India muslin embroidered in gold. The most ex- quisito part of her appearance was her arms and feet; the former were encircled with bracelets, in which were enchased the most beautiful cameos belonging to the house of Bor- ghese ; her little feet were shod with slender geld; ateach point where the latter crossed upon the leg, was attached a magnificent were drawn up by Duroc, Grand Marshal of the Tuileries; and when he proposed the name of any one of whose appearance Pauline was jealous, she usually induced him, by pretty airs and arch objections, to erase it. Some- times he hesitated: ‘*‘ Why exclude her?’’ he would say;“‘are there ever too many hand- some woemen?’’’ Oh, I shall be there and you ean admire me, Duroc. as much as you like ’ She would then smile, and Duroe would draw his pen through the offendiag name And thus the peerlesas beauty was tranquil- ized. With the single excoption of Josephine, no lady in France displayed greater taste in dress than Pauline In fact, she thought of litt'e else than the prosecution of her intri- gucs and the cocupations of ker toilet. Her eutrance in to a bal!-room rarely failed to elicit a murmur of admiration; on one oeca- sion, says an enthusiast, she absolately illum- ined the palace. She wore, on the evening in question, a dress which she said should im- mortalize her, and upon which she waz engs- ged for seven consecutive days. to the excin- sion of any other avocation Her head dross eousisted of narrow bands of soft fur, ofa tiger attern; these bands were surmounted by unches of gold grapes. Her robe wasof fine India muslin, with a deep bordering of gold, the pattern being grapes and vine-leaves. Her tunio was Greek in form, and displayed her figure to admirable advantage; it wasattached at the shoulders by fine stone cameos Her girdle congisted of a gold band, the clasp of which wasrichly fashioned antiquestone Her beautiful arms were adorned with bracelets formed of gold andcameos Pauline possessed one quality, rare in so beautiful a woman: she did not compromise her beauty by affectation; or, at least, her sense of her own matchless loveliness, as she manifosted it in her manner. went no farther than what may be termed consciousness. Don Camillo eubsequently returned from Rome, and was made u prince of the French Empire by Napoleon. He distinguished him- seit at several of the Prussian battle fields, and in 1808, was made Governor General of Piedmont and Genoa, which Napoleon had just annexed to France under the title of “De partments beyond the Alps ’’ He at once set out for Turin, his capital, taking Nice, where Pauline was spending the winter for her health, on his way. for she bad consented to ebare his new dignity with him. Her impe rial highness was s poor traveler, and bore the futigue of posting with great impatience The equerry, M. di ontreton, found ample occupation in building a fortress of cushions around the illustrious invalid, while the ladies of honor relieved each other in the duty of sit- ting upon her feet to keep them warm. Pauline was not long contented at Turin, although her husband held a sumptuous vice- regal court Her position did not please her, for she had expected to be first, and found herself only the third. The first dignitary of Piodmont was an unocoupied arm-chair, which by a diplomatic fiction, was supposed to rep- resent the Emperor of the French and King of Italy; behind this chair stood the highest functionaries of the government, as if attend- ing Napoleen himseif. The second dignitary was the Governor General, who subjected the imperious and haughty Duchess of Guastalla to the gross indignity of being inferior in offi- cial importance to himself So Pauline aban- doned Prirce Camillo at Turin, precisely as she had done at Rome, and returned to Neui!- ly and Paris. Her husband did not seek to retain or to recall her; he continued to ad minister the government with success, and to entertain foreigners with hospitality, till the tall of Napoleon in 1814, when he restored Picdmont to Austria and returned to his pat- rimonial palace at Rome Pauline, upon her arrivalia France from Turin, divided her time between the Tuileries and her chateau at Neuilly. She had never striven to conceal her intrigues with the va- rious gentlemen who were successively the heroes of her transitory attachments; she now even sought publicity and scandal. The most conspicuous of her liasons, coming to the knowledge of Napoleon, ended fatally for the young man who was the object of it. M Jules de Canouville was a young, courtly and dashing colonel of hussars, and soon become the favorite of the prince: Not satisfied with the conquest itself, he desired the repu- tation of it This he soon obtained, and to his heart’s content. The court dentist, M Bousquet, one day received a professional summons from Pauline. He was conducted to her boudoir, where he found avery elegant young man, negligently clad in a dressing- gown. He was gracefully extended upon a sofa, and begged the dentist “to be careful of the teeth of his Paulette’’ Tho innocent M. Bousquet naturally took this considerate gentleman to be Don Camillo Borghese. Ho promised to usedue caution. Throughout his stay the supposed hueband enjoined scrupu- lous attention upon the operator As the dentist left the apartment of her im perial highness, the ladies of the household, the chamberlain, &¢ , gathered ayound him, and inquired the result of his viSit. ‘The princess is doing very well,”’ he replied, ‘and must be gratified at the tender attachment of her august husband. which he has just mani- fested before me in the most shocking manner His anxiety was very great, and I could with difficulty convince bim of the safety of the sim- ple measures I proposed. shall acquaint every one with what I have seen.

This connection came to Napo- leon’s knowledge in the following manner Alexander of Russia had given him, at Er- furtb, three superb sable pelises One of these the Emperor sent to Pauline, and she gave it t» her lover Some days after, at a review upon the Place du Carrousel, M de Canou- cameo. The sash which held the «gis on her bosom was of solid gold, and the center was ornamented with that most precious gem of the Borghese coliection—the dying Medusa ; to all this magnificence was added a short dagger, highly embossed with gold and pre- cious stones, which she carried iu her hand. Her appearance was that of a fairy appari- tion, almost without substance, and, us it were, celestial ‘ She was, indeed, an elegant nymph. Her statue, by Canova, moulded from herself, is that of anenchantress. It has been asserted that the artists corrected defects in the leg and bust. I have seen the legs of the princess, as I believe all have who were moderately in timate with her, and 1 have observed no euch defects ; indeed, the perfection of their make may be inferred from her walk ; it was slow. because she was an invalid, but the grece of her movements showed that her limbs were happily formed. How finely her head was in clined, and how beautifully it turned upon her shoulders !’” She had one physical defect, however, which almost amounted to a deformity. Her ea: were too thin—pale pieces of cartilage, with- outcurlorecurve. This caprice of nature was more remarkable from the contrast with her lovely features. A rival beile and haughty legitimist, Madame de Contades, who would owledge either Napoleon's glory or his sister’s beauty, once mortified Pauline ex- cessively, by calling attention in a ball room to this unfortunate disfigurement. She no- ticed her reslining upon a sofa, under the blaze of a chandelier. ‘“‘ What a pity,’’ she said aloud, ‘+ that such a pretty woman should ve deformed. I declare if I had such a pair of ears I would have them cut off.” Poor Pauline burst into tears, and scon retired from the room She revenged herself upon ame de Contades by calling her a May pole. Pauline, who had never liked Josephine, like Marie Louise no better. Net long after the arrival of the Archduchess in France and | her marriage with Napoleon she took occesion | to insult her in a mauner so public and ins. lent that she drew upon herself exile and @ grace In the midst of a brilliant throng present at an official reception, and behind the back of Marie Louise, she raised her thumb and finger to her forehead, forming there a constraction similar to that worn by Falstaff when disguised as Herne the Hunter, and thereby indicating the treatment her brother wight expect from his Austrian bride. Marie Louise eaw this extraordinary piece of panto- mime in a mirror. The company laughed, while Napoleon scowled. He had but lately repudiated his wife, and he now determined to banish his sister. The order to that offect was peremptory, and Pauline withdrew, una- bashed and impertinent, to her busband’s pa- lace at Rome, where she led a brilliant and careless existence. Don Camillo remained steadfastly at Turin Thus far, vice and excess had been the most conspicuous features of Pauline’s conduct; she now showed herself capable of heroism sacri- fice and devotion. qualities which the world has a right to expect of thoze who, though not born, are at least bred, upon the eteps of a throne. She had spent the winter of 1813-14 at Nice, and at Hyeres, in the south of Franze. On the 20th of April Napoleon left Fontaino bleau for Elba, after what has been stigma- tized as ‘‘a scene of desertion never equalled in any age of the world—tergiversations too hideous to be credible, if not recorded by eye witnesses.’? Pauline quitied Hycres in order to meet him near Frejus; while waiting, she witnessed many «f the fearful tumults which Were excited by the passage of the ‘Corsican tyrant.’’ She saw his statues overturned and his live menaced. The brother and sister met and Lue, at two o’clock in the afternoon, on the 26th of A Napoleon entered the chamber of the priucers; she extended her arms, but burst into tears on seeing that he wore an Austrian uniform as a disguise. “Why this uniform?’ she asked. “ Why, Pauline,’’ returned Napoleon. ‘* would you have me dead ’” Pauline looked at him steadfastly and said, ‘ I cannot em- brace you in that drese Oh, Napoleon, what have you done?’’ Napoleon withdrew and changed his costume. He returned in the uniform of the Old Guard. Paulice pressed him to her heart again and again, astonishing those who best knew her by this unexpected burst of feeling. - But Pauline coud act as well as weep. She, with Madame Meze, followed sg Meo to Kiba in October of the same year. She aban- doned tho frivolities and gaieties to which for ears she had been accustomed, and devoted herself with untiring energy to furthericg the lans formed for his escape. Sho placed all hee jewels at bis dispossl ; Nepoleon never used them ; they were in bis carriage at Wa- terloo, which was taken by the Allies, and exhibited for money at London. The dia monds had disappeared, and it was never known into whose hands they had fallen. On the 26th of February, 1815, she gave a ball to the principal personages of Elba, and that very night Napoleon stepped on board the brig VInconstant, and weighed anchor for France Pauline and Napoleon never met again. She returned to Rome and be to Paris, from whence, by way of Waterloo, he passed on to St. Helena. Don Camillo was now compelled, by the re- storation of Piedmont to Austrian rule, to re- sume his allegiance asa Roman subject. He tefused, however, to see or to receive his wife; but the Pope took the matter into his own hands, and appointed a committee of cardi- nals to decide upon a mode of reconciliation. The prince was ordered to share his palace with bis princess, and to place one bundred and fifty thousand francs a year at her dis- sal. He obeyed, but ungracious!y, and nally retired to Florence, where ho built a palace for his own private use, leaving to hor the undivided control of his superb establish- t at Rome.

He was admitted to the myste- ries of her toilet, and she allowed him to sit upon the floor before ber and hold her feet in his hands. He was also permitted, asa great favor, to hand pins to ber dressing maids, when they needed them in the arrangement of her person. ‘How can you take plea- sure,’ some one asked her,“ in the of men who have imprisoned your brother at St. Helena?” “Can you not understand,’’ she replied ve- hemently, “that I enjoy the men, once so a1 mnt, now bu them ‘elves to the dustof my sandals’?

Pauline became convinced in 1821 that Nape- Teon was dying at St. Helena. She wrote a letter to Lord Liverpool, then prime minister of Eagland. in which she earnestly be, ; in the name of all the members of the family, that her brother might be removed to a less dangerous climate. “If so reasonable a re- quest be refusod,”” she said, “it will be pro- nouncing his sentence of death—in which case I beg permission to depart for St Helena, to join my brother and receive his last I feel that the moments of his life are num- bered. and I should forever reproach myself if I did not use all the means in my power to alleviate bis sufferings and testify my devo- tion.’’ The Earl of Liverpool granted the latter portion of her request, but too late Napoleon was already dead at the date of Pauline’s appeal She now sank into a rapid decline, though she continued to live in a constant whirl of gaiety. Foreigners visiting Rome formed her principal society; they found her ree is and entertainments hospitable, refined and sumptuous. Early in 1825 she went to Pisa for achange of air. It was evident to her- self. as well as to her friends, that she could not long survive. She now performed the last eccentricity of an eccentric life. Though pos- sessed of no fortune whatever, and living upon the forced bounty of her husband, she com- posed and executed nn imposing instrument, which she called her will. In this she made large and numerous legacies. forming in the aggregate a cam of princely magnificence Don Camillo now recalled her to Florence, where a reconciliation was effected and mu- tual forgiveness extended. The princess Bor- ghere expired in the arms of the prince, on the 9th of June, 1825. With a generosity of which he hardly seemed capable, and which sbe certainly had done nothing to deserve, he recognized and paid all the beques's tha’ had made without consulting or consideri the state of his fortune. Napoleon often mentioned Pouline at St Helena. He considered her the handsomest woman of her time, and said that artists were accustomed to speak of her as the modern Ve- nus de Medici When at Nice, he said, she established a daily line of baggage wagons to and from Paris, to bring ber supplics of the newest fashions. ‘Had I known it,” be ad- ded, “she would have been soundly scolded Sait ail, she was the kindest creature in the world. ———<—s Doixe a Printer —A financier in embryo, bat who, up to the present moment, has rea nothing from his various speculationsexcept a crowd of creditors, lately hit uw the expe- dient, when hard pressed, of asking for a brief extension of time.
