THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST .11, 18G0. KOYAETY LN MINIATURE. "Utulbon intit rot t'tUi it hi. ' 1m! ur l?i;nAN(H-,n. A willy French author informs us tli.it ulien tbo few Hcattering inhabitants of tho microscopic "jirincijmlity of Monaco'' reliclleil ,'iiinst their prince in 17KI, commissioners ivoro sent W ttioin to Paris to propose an all inn co with tho French revolutionists, whereupon a treaty was eiVecte.l, which treaty consisted of tho two following articles: "Art. I. There shall ho peace- and iilliuno tetween the French republic and the repuh lie of Monaco. "Art. II. Tho French republic! is delighted to make the acquaintance of the republic of llonaco."' The perpetration of this "excellent jest'' no doubt contributed greatly to tho goo;l huraor of tho ri rolntiomKiirt.i; but, if they had looked ft little nearer homo they might have Keen another "separate sovereignty," in comparison with which the principality of Monaco, no much laughed at, wou'd have ap peared gigantic. This was tho "kingdom of Yvetot, ' which for mure than thirteen hun dred years remained a marvel to everybody. There was never anything like it beforo, and there has never been anything like it since. It was a curiosity, a sort of ball within a ba.ll, like ft Chineso pu.zle. Strango ns the statement may appear, there existed in the heart of France, from tho middlo of tho sixth century nearly to the end of tho eigh teenth, ft regularly-organized kingdom, ruled by a king, whom France, England, and all tho great powers recognized and respected in one nem o at least which high and mighty kingdom, presided over by its suzerain, With bisprivy council, high chamberlain, master of the hounds, master of ceremonies, and other dignitaries, consisted of an ordinary chateau, and what would bo called iu this country "a good farm." This farm was called, as we have said, the "kingdom of Yvetot," and was situated near the present town of (ho samo naino in Nor mandy, between favre-dc-(race and llouen. The chateau, built, according to all accouuts, Home time in the sixth century, may still be standing. What is certain is, that here lived and reigned ft long line of nionarchs, whose will was supreme within tho boundaries of the little domain; who paid no taxes of any description to tho neighboring and surround ing kingdom of France, or to any other; who took part or did not take part in the various wnrs carried on by France, j.ist as they fan cied; and who were treated with, "as be tween crowned head-:," by royalty elsewhere. It is not singular that this anomalous condi tion of things should have originated a num ber of jests at the expense of his ma jesty the King of Yvetot in every generation. Ac cordingly, we have all manner of caricatures, lampoons, pasquinades, and good-humored "flings," at their Majesties in French prose and verse the most noted and best known, doubtless, being lieranger's "Hoi d'Yvetot.'' In all these friendly they are not unfriendly caricatures, you see the same personage, ft fat little royal personage, mounted on an ass, and followed by a dog, as fat and good humored as himself, going from door to door on his domain, chatting familiarly with his peasant subjects, chucking the maidens under their chins, patting babies on tho head, asking the news who was mar ried, or born, or dead and never refusing the good glass of wine proll'ered to this merry little king by his subjects. Then ou his re turn the four stalwart members of his "body guard," vho have been vorking in tho royal garden, drop their hoes, hastily don their uni forms, and salute this jolly monarch as he arrives upon his donkey; tho four seana fctresses or housemaids, daughters of his tenants, nnd ladies of the bedchamber, usher him to his queen; ho dines i n famiUi; waited on by the one footman who is lord high-chamberlain; and at night he puts on, instead of a crown, an excellent and comfortable night cap ! Such is the picture, half traditional, half historic, of the King of Yveiot. It is al together comic, as the reader will perceive; but under the humorous caricature there ap pears to have been a solid substratum of f'ict. 'This seems to have amounted to what follows: The first Seigneur of Yvetot was Vauthier, chamberlain to King Clotaire I of France, son of Clovis and Clotilda. The chamberlain is ; represented to have been a man of great cour- j age, intelligence, and devotion qualities 1 which made him a favorite with Clotaire: and the result was that he stood in high favor with his Majesty. Thence many heart-burnings on the part of the other courtiers; much jealousy of Lord Vauthier, as of one growing too powerful; eventually n conspiracy to ruin him with Clotaire tho Long-haired. This conspiracy, long ripening, came at last to a head Clotaire's mind was artfully poisoned Vauthier no longer found favor in the eves of his lord the King and finally the eon'pi rators succeeded in tilling Clotaire with enormous rage against him on what grounds the authorities d.o not say. These were not important, however. Vauthier was absent, and the conspirators had it all their own way. They clearly demonstrated that the chamber lain was a traitor; and as, in those days, kings were often their own "jnsticers," Clotaire publicly announced his inten tion to slay the Sieur d'Yvetot on fcight. His majesty imd put his own nephews to death, as personages inter fering with his views; was known to be a man who f,tuck at nothing: and when a friend at count sent a messenger in haste to Vau thier at his chateau, informing him of tho reception which awaited him from Clotaire, oh his return, Vauthier wisely made up his mind not to expose his throat to the knifV, or iiH brains to the royal axe, and hastened to put tho Khine and other broad strer.ius be tween himself and King Clotairi?, For ten years, then, the SeiVueur d'Yvetot jeniftlned abroad, hewing away with his sword at tho barbarous Thuringians, enemies of tho true faith. As Clotaire upheld the latter, Vauthier hoped that his "record" in these long years would 'i estore him to favor with the King; so, pining no doubt for In putric, and sick of exile, he determined to venture back, and throw himself upon tho mercy of his sovereign. He did so, but not without taking excellent precaution. Clotaire was known to be a personage of most uncert ain temper fighting bravely against his enemies 'ri,-;.,.-: :. i. ... . : i. i . .... mo j uuuujjiiijja iiiigm or ihi(;lil not do niuu- cient to secure pardon for the culprit; there fore the prudent Vauthier first proceeded to Home, whero ho made a friend of "l'opo Agapet," and induced tho pontiff to intrust him, in the character of envoy, with letters to King Clotaire, who would thus, tinder any circumstances, it was hoped, bo entirely disarmed. Unfortunately, Vauthier did not estimate with sullicient correctness the highly "excitable" character of Lis sovereign. H0 travelled from Home to Hoissons, where Clotairo held his court; reached the city on Good Friday, at the moment when Clotaire was at the high fclU ti the gtenl cnthedral celebrating mass, npon his knees; presented tho Tope's letters; implored pardon in tho name of Christ and Clotaire, for r'ply, drew his sword, and severed the head of tho unfortunate Siour d'Yvetot f rom his body. Grinning, ghastly, and streaming with blood, tho head rolled on the very steps of the altar. Such was tho unlucky result of Vauthier's return. Unlucky no less for Clotaire. Ho had committed sacrilege, and, when ho cooled, the full enormity of his guilt flashed upon him. Tho Hope's letters, now read for the first time, did not lessen his remorse. They attested tho entire innocence of our well beloved son Vauthier, and around the un hnppy Clotaire rose a chorus of clergy: "Sacrilege! sacrilege! Your Majesty has committed sacrilege '." Thereat Clotaire grew pale, and his knees shook. AVhat to do '( Send an envoy to his Holiness, suggested the clergy, and beg abso lution: and Clotaire caught ardently at the suggestion. Tho envoy was despatched; came to Home; heard that tho l'opo was dying, and hastened to his bedside, where Vlotaire's prayer was set forth for tho pontiffs action. Tho affair was embarrassing the pope was dying. He did what men often (loin a ditlicult matter; lie compromised. "ClotairV he said faintly, "could expect to receive pardon ei.ly "' (hero l'opo Agnpet begun to cough painfully, and gasp for breath J "only when he had given the highest possible satisfaction to the heirs ot " (hero the coughing returned, became more violent, a convulsion shook the pontiff, and before vt could finish the sentence he expired. ) Vith the ambiguous dying words of Pope Agnpet, the envoy returned to Clotaire: and for a long time the king pondered, with knit brows and troubled mind, on that phrase, "the highest possible satisfaction to the heirs of" Vauthier. V. hat ira.i tho "highest possible satisfaction V ' At last he camo to a decision upon tho knotty point presented. There was, according to the opinion of people in tho sixth century, no higher earthly satisfaction than that of being a royal personage: and the impetuous Clotaire, lashed by remorse, (":etermined to make the Vauthiers royal. As tho King' ordered, so it was done. Onahu'o sheet of tho whitest parchment, decorated with seals and nou rishes, and attested by the royal "mark," it was written that thenceforth, to the end of time, the seigniory of Yvetot should bo a kingdom, and the seigneurs thereof kings owing allegiance to no one, coining their own money, levying their own taxes, issuing their sovereign "decrees-, making or not making war, as seemed t them best in every ac ceptation of tiit.- wn:d, and without reserva tion, kings. Hence 'the Kir.j.s f Yvetot. The account we have given m.'y appear romantic, but, whatever lie the ni.v.sure of l'.iiih attached to it, the existence of .ho "kingdom'' is a mat ter of record. 1'roof of this statement: I. A decree of the Court of Exchequer of Normandy, of date mentions tho King of Yvetot, and rec-ogni;:eis his royalty. II. Letters patent granted by various Kings of France, in H'1. II. V), and HU, acknow ledge and confirm the sovereignty of tho King of Yvetot. III. In the same century, when Xormrtndy was under English sway, Henry VI claimed certain taxes and feud.-.l duties from tho King of Yvetot: the question was solemnly ad judged; and the decision given against the King of England, in favor of tho King of Yvetot. IV. A letter of Francis I, addressed to the Queen of Yvetot, is still in the French archives. V. At the coronation of Marie do Medici, Henry IV publicly rebuked his grand chamber lain for not assigning to tho King of Yvetot a position suitable to his royal dignity. "If we lose France," said the samo jovial monarch, Henry IV, when he was retreating once, during the wars of the League, "we must take possession of the fair kingdom of Yvetot!" Thus jest and earnest, fiction (doubtless) and fact, history and romance, mingle and are fused with each other here. The reader will regard tho whole subject in the light which pleases him best seriously, in the light of the charters, decrees, and letters patent referred to: or romantically, in tho light of the Clotairo tradition; or humor ously, in the light of the donkey, the fatdog, and the nightcap, of Heranger's chummi. The latter made tho '". rot V Yrttut popular for ever, by hitting from behind him at other royal personages: "II n'apraiii'.it point ses Etats Kut mi voisou commoile, Kt. nioilele !es potcntats, 1 "fit ie p!ain:r pour code.

This was written in 181f, and thero were a large number of persons, especially the French mothers, who had lost their boys hy Napoleon's merciless conscriptions, who saw in tho first lines a Lit at the great Emperor. With these political matters, however, we have nothing to do. Looking across tho years to the small Chateau d'Yvetot, what wo see is a picture of "royalty in miniature," and an extremely fat and respectable line of nionarchs, who appear to have had an amount of good sense not often found beneath kingly crowns. In fact, these rustic sove reigns appear to have been tho most sensible men of history.jjj'i'hoy never declared war on anybody, never interfered or quarrelled with their neighbors, indulged in no heart-burnings, were rendered unhappy by no undue aspirations; they simply lived at the old country-house of Yvetot, with their tenants around them, ate good dinners, drank good wine, rode out ou successive generations of fat little donkeys, followed by fat little dogs, chatted with their subjects, slept in peace, with comfortable nightcaps drawn over their royal old ears, and were buried in the royal cemetery attached to the royal residence, ex amples to all kings in all time to come. Thero never were any "parties" of any de scription in Yvetot, we are informed no court intrigues, conspiracies, or intestine dis sensions. Tho king kept his own seals and his own royal purse in his own pantaloons pocket; and therefrom with his own hands disbursed to his civil list, lne uourt is thus desewbed: There were one bishop, one dean, and four eanons all parish vitrvn; a senate and privy council composed of four indues all notaries; besides which there were ladies of tho bedchamber tenants daughters; four body-guards gardeners; one chamberlain arid herald the footman; a master of the horse the groom; a keeper of tho woods and forests tmihtt; otners nave been men tioned. We shall only add that the King of Yvetot could bring into the field, at twenty four hours' notice, an army of one hundred and twenty royal troops, over whom the King of France had no more authority man ne had over the army of tho King of England or the Emreror of Avmtria. TbtMe wre never. however, culled jjutg the fitll Ibeir q matchlocks were quite rusty and their uni forms moth-eaten. Nobody ever declared war on the good little Kings of Yvetot. They ate, drnnk, slept, rode out on their donkeys, smiled on the maidens, patted tho heads of the babies, and went to their long homes, models of potentates, from tho sixth century to the latter part of the eighteenth, when tho last monarch of their ancient lino ignominiously assumed no higher title at tho court of Loins XVI than rinfr, whereupon the revolution followed, and, just when tho "republic of Monaco" was born, swept him and his kingdom away just punishment for thus abdicating his sacred royalty, which hail "been in tho family ' for "tho respectable period of about thirteen centuries. So it passed, this jolly little kingdom and its lino of kings small of stature, but tho "real article," and respected accordingly. To-day you look upon tho whole matter as a jest, historic fact as it. Tho railway from Havre to Houen, through tho department of Seine-Inferieure, traverses tho town of Yvetot: the cars rattle, tho smoke floats, the whistlo screams: if the hon jx it on his little donkev, followed by his little dog, could witness that phenomenon, it is probablo that king nnd donkey and dog would all roll in tho nearest ditch, overcome with fright. Hut the fates spared tlium such protanat ion ol their rovnl authority these worthy httlo kings of Figmyland. They aro no moro there, and never now move any more benoatli the gl'impscs of the moon! 1'ho birds sing, the streams laugh, tho clouds float over the ruins of the old chateau, as in other years. Hut the kings and kingdom of Yvetot havo 1 assed away like a dream: Api'ldoa's Jr i,d. . EXPLOSIONS, LoNHmbv fllliiln IMmtMlrr In Kimliintl. The London Th'ii'n, noticing the loss ot M lives by the latest coal-mine explosion iu Eng land, remarks: The public ought to lie inexpressibly shocked bv the frequent recurrence of these fatal catas trophes. To omit minor accidents, in April last we reported the death of :i:l men by an explo sion. In Mav, out of ten men at work in a coal ininc in South Wales seven were killed, and it was mere chance that the number at work was not :; or 400, with the deaths in proportion. June brought an explosion in the Kernilale Col liei v at the cost of '' lives, and in July we have this fatal explosion at Haydock. Coals have become the iirst necessity of life, and it would seem as it colliers were our advanced guard iu the war with nature, and were perpetually under lire. The parallel may be extended, lor the fatality of thee explosions, it should be remem bered," represents only the lives lost in action; the number sacrificed to minor accidents may, perhaps, like the loss of lite due to sickness in w ar. be still larger. -strait ire to say, ill this very colliery at Hay dock lit) lives we're sacrificed only lat Septem ber to an explosion which seems in every re spect similar to the present. The two were in the same pit and in the same scam of coal, and in the last report of the Inspector. of Mines we have a plan ot tho colliery and a discus.-ion of the former accident. From this thero seems every reason to believe that the disaster was then'diie to causes w hich were completely within control in fact, to the earele.-sness of men who paid for their neglect with their lives. Tho general nature of these catastrophes is sulli ciently well known. The gas with which all coal is more or less pervaded escapes as the workings progress, and, unless dispersed by ven tilation, gradually accumulates. When a cer tain amount of it has collected, a slight acci dent, or one of those blastings w hich are com mon incidents of mining, w ill be sullicient to ex plode it. It is evident that, in order to avoid this danger, every part of a mine ought to be constantly watched, in order to be sure that the ventilation is perfect." OKITUAKV. Hon. Dnvlil .leweet Unkcr. The Hon. David Jewett linker died at Alton, Illinois, on Friday, August ti, in his seventy seventh year. He was one of the early pioneers of Illinois, Imving moved to that State in lsr.t. He figured conspicuously in State politics during his younger days, and in lifcili, when an attempt was" made to introduce slavery by amending the Constitution, he distinguished himself by articles of such scathing severity and personal bitter ness against the advocates of the measure, that he at one time nearly lost his life at the hands of an assassin. Governor Thomas Reynolds, afterward of Missouri. To the day of his death he bore the marks of this assault upon his head. In lsfl'.l Judge Baker was appointed to the United States Senate. During his service there he originated the measure for disposing of the public lands in quantities of forty acres, tho law up to that time not permit ting the entry of (iovernmcnt lands in less than quarter-section tracts. This change greatly fa cilitated the settlement of Illinois, and for many years the State went by the name of "Baker's Hand." Judge Baker served under Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren from is;i:i to 18o7 as United States Attorney for the State of Illinois. In 1810 he became a member of the Whig party, and was one of the original organizers of the Republican party in Illinois in the convention at Springfield, October, LS54. He was one of the committee which drafted the famous resolutions which figured so promi nently in the great debate between Mr. Douglas and Mr. Lincoln in the campaign of 1858. The last years of Judge Baker's life wero quietly fpeut iu a retired country seat near Alton.
