Such were the family traditions amid which Princess Anna Sapicha’s character was forined She inherited from her father true patriotism and the virile virtues of the citizen, and from her mother the love of order and the art of making a noble use of her fortune. In 3794 the Princess married, at Zamose, Prince Alexan der Supicha, who was born at Strasburg, where, driven by the misfortunes of Poland, hie father had sought refuge. In consequence of the hope cf the assistance of France having been held out to his country, Prince Sapicha entered the service of Napoleon I., but his lite was terminated prema- turely in 1812. Two children—the Princess Anna, after- wards married to Prince Adam Czartoryaki, and Prince Leon yha—were the issue of this marriage. At the death of her husband, the Princess, though still compara. tively young and accustomed to live in the great world of Paria and Warsaw, did not for a moment hesitate between the serious and sacred duties of a mother aud the frivo- lous pleasures of the world, but devoted herself cx sively to the education of her children and to the adn istration of her fortune, which had suffered considerably in consequence of the disasters which had befatlen her country.
