LETTER FROM ROME.
A Bourbon Heir Expected—A Romance
of the Boman Banapartes—Cardinal
Bonaparte at the Sistine Chapel—De
scription and Anecdotes of Him—
Madame Itatazzi—Conriction of Insur
gents.
(Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
PIAZZA DI SPAGNA, ROME, May 24,1869.
Conie, let us have a fine gossip, my good
readers of the BULLETIN, over Kings and
Queens, Popes and Cardinals, Statesmen and
Ministers of State.
The Neapolitan Boutbons are to leave Rome.
The pretty Queen, Maria Sofil a, is in extremely
delicate health, and, to keep her mind tranquil
and spirits bright during the months this
critical state may last, her husband, Ex-King
Francis, intends to take his wife to her old
home in Bavaria. The little court of the
Farnese palace and the whole body of reac
tionists are in a high flutter of expectation;
but, if in four or five months from now, King
Francis is father to a healthy, hearty baby boy,
and his pip/code pretty wife, whom he is said
to love tenderly, is also spared to him, the ex-
King will not mind so much that his boy is
only heir to "castles in Spain."
Here is a pretty story about the Roman
Bonapartes, and as true as it is pretty. Joseph
Bonaparte—our Bordentowu Count de Sur
villiers—had a daughter Zenaide,whosetrionu
ment raised by her children and 'fine bust
made by that "last of the Botaans,"Tenerani,
can be seen any day in the St. Maria in Via
Lath. St. Maria in Via Lath is the church on
the Coro, beside the Doria Palace, which is
said to have been built on the very spot Where
St. Paul lodged with the centurion; in the
crypt they will show you the spring which
Church tradition tells the believing Catholic
was the one that sprang out of the ground
miraculously, to enable the apostle to baptize
his new disciphm. In that church sleeps good,
wise Princess Zenaide.
Lucien Bonaparte , ---the obstinate, indepen
dent brother of the First Napoleon, who cared
more for his books and his studies than all his
brother's melo-dramatic ruling and wrecking
of kingdoms—had a sou, Prince Charles
Lucien, better known as Prince de Canino.
Zenaide married this cousin,Charles Lucien.
Be was a rourten, as the French say; he gam,
bled and wasted his worldly S.tliStance. He
lost his fine galleryof paintings .3,eards—beau
tiful Rubeus and other. Ireasures. The Pilfizzo
Bonaparte, at the corner of the Corso and
Piazza di Denizia,belonged to Madame Mere,
the fine, brave old Corsican woman who was
mother and grandmother to all these Bona
parte people. After her it went to Lucien,and
then to the thriftless Prince de Canino. But
pretty soon it- and the villa near Rome came
also to the hammer. When they were to
be -sold, the Princess Zenaide, who had
money, bought them in for her eldest sou,
Prince Joseph Napoleon, who died in '65.
This Prince Joseph had a secretary—Re
nazzi by name--- , a man who-was his confiden
tial friend. When Prince Joseph died, four
years ago, of course, as he had no family, his
brothers and sisters expected to inherit his
possessions. To the surprise of every one a
will was found, which had been made fifteen
years before, that made the secretary friend,
Renazzi, heir to everything the Prince owned
—the Roman palace and villa, the family dia
monds, and all the money in stocks and other
investments, for Prince Joseph was ho t•cmrice
like his father.
Great was the flutter, and the disappointed
heirs carried ,their troubles to the Emperor.
Louis Napoleon refused to act—indeed, he
could not—the will was a legal, strong one,
awl they had no help in their hands, Bona
partes as they were. By the 4oMari law Re
uazzi inherited the whole.
So the Roman authorities put Reuazzi in
possession of palace' and villa, diamonds and
stocks. Once master of all, Renazzi :called
meeting of the faintly. Cardinal, then Bishop,
Bonaparte refused to attend or to have any
thing to do with his "brother's secretary—he
was so indignant; but the rest were wiser:
they went to the meeting and met with their
reward. They found Renazzi ready with the
necessary documents. He turned over to
Prince Charles and the Bishop the palace and
vi 11a; the- diamonds: - to -the-sisteri- Countess
Casette, and; the stocks and money to an, re
serving for himself only a modest interest of
some stocks, which after his death are to go to
the nephews and nieces of , his deceased friend
and master.
Now this was truly noble, for he could have
kept the whole without dispute. To be sure,
therl niust have been an understanding be
tween Prince Joseph and his good Secretary:
The Prince was afraid, doubtles, that _his
father, who was alive when he made his will;
might take possession of the property;and his
brothers and sisters receive nothing, so he
'chose this rather romantic and risky way of
securing it to them.
The Bishop, it is said, refused to accept any
thing from Renazzi; but when he was made a
Cardinal, a year or two ago, and came to
Rome, the brother,-Prince Charles, insisted
that the new Cardinal should occupy^ an apart
inenitin this palace; which'was.let as - the
Prince and his invalid, wife, when at 'Rome,
reside at their villa.
Yesterday I was at the SiStine Chapel "as 7
sistine at the eerenionies..of Trinity Sunday

and singing Sira.4 distracted by seeing dardinal
Bonaparte in Just Such a position that I could,
look at him all the time with ease.
I forgot the. service and grand old mnsic, ;
and tried to find out what there is in this pre-:
late's appearance that snakeshim so iliscina-;
ting. There were several Cardinals around
him that had far better heads, and whose faces;
bore marks of more thought—not only that—
proofs of higher intellectual develoriment and:
Mental ability., There Were beside lilt men'.
Milooked like bright, sharp American
yers, withlindependentithoughts and in - c'
cultured wills; had broad foreheads and light-; .
blue gray eyes -"the eyes of genius," as, some
one said of. Coleridge. Another, the :
"Black Cardinal," the chief of the Ilene- .
di ctin es, a mitred abbot, who, to'
bold this place, must be a. - nobleman of old
faintly and wealth—sat a seat or two from Car
dinal Bonaparte. This Black Cardinal—so
called because he dresseS entirely in black in
stead of red—is the very counterpart of a first-,
claSs Presbyterian divine; has the same square,
head, quick, keen eyes, firm thin lips, and a
face made up, not of features, but of "whip'
cord, muscle,thew and sinew;" a man ready to
meet humanity on any side, saint or sinner, ,
and take it into heaven Wens miens. I used.
to think when I first came to.. Rome that this
Benedictine Prelate was. the Jesuit General.
I remember hearing a clever person . say that'
the Presbyterian is the Jesuit of Protestantism;
but since I have known and seen these
scholarly, energetic Benedictine gentlemen in
Rome, I have thought they are more like.
Presbyterians than the Jesuits are.
But revenons d notre Bonaparte. There is no
member of the corps of Cardinals who attracts`
so much attention as this nephew, once re
moved, of the first Napoleon. Whenever and
wherever he appears, a whisper of his name
runs around, and women look after him axitoir-,
ingly. "I could be hisslave," I heard a pretty
woman say once, when the Car nal passed us; ,
'he might trample on me.
Cardinal Bonaparte is very handsome, not
more tluui forty, tall, erect, has a soldierly step
and a regal bearing; his head is always bent
forward, the full, level eyelids are never lifted,'
-he rarely looks at any one,even when speaking
to his brother Cardinals, but you can see that
the eyes are a rich, dark brown. The Cardinal
has almost a hook nose; it is moree than aqui
line,'and gives a Jaw sh cast to the physiog
nomy.
The Cardinal has a Bonaparte face—not a
weak or fat imitation of the first Emperor, as
is the Prince Napoleon's—but a Bonaparte"
face of his own; it hears the mark of his own
character and self. He is not intellectuallook
ing, as I have said. The head is a round,
ballet-shaped one, with just the faintest devel
opment over the ears of the Nero7Napoleonic
cruelty—semethit* of the Young Augustus
type, but it lacks the broad upper head of the
Young Augustus. So round and apple-like is
the ibrehead and top of the skull, that the little
red cappa has no place; it falls coquettishly on
one side, and assumes a jaunty, knowing look,
which agrees very well with the lurking smile
that peeps out of the downcast eyes and almost
plays around the thin, powerful lips, and long,
strong jaw.
Cardinal Bonaparte reminds me of Booth in
"Ingo"—Edwin Booth. There! it is out—and
I did not mean to tell my suspicions either!
The Cardinal seems to me as if he was a con
summate acter,and also as if he thought all the
while that be was doing the thing well.
This remarkable Prelate has the reputation
of being a great ascetic. At Lent of this year
he fainted during one of the long ceremonies
at the Sistine Chapel, and the good old Pope
tenderly rebuked him for the severity
of his fasts. He is solitary and
exclusive; even his servants dare not
approach him at times. He tries his
best to turn the Bonaparte palace in which. he
has his residence into a elausura or monastery;
the portone is closed at 9 in the evening, and
so rigid is he that the entertain
ments of the gentleman who has the floor
above the Cardinal—the dances, the bewilder
women, with mantles thrown "in a fine
distraction" over their white shoulders; and
"twinkling feet" tripping up and down the
superb palatial marble steps, are an abomina
tion to the ascetical young Prelate's eyes and
ears. lie will not even go up and down the
stair-case on such occasions, for fear of meet
ing these "winning waves of womanhood,"
and is trying to make his brother, Prince
Charles, move into the Palace, take his apart
ments, and allow the Cardinals clausura regimen
to exorcise from these upper rooins,all the de
mons of dance and jollity left by the "wild
civility" of the pretty toes and heelS that have
made these handsome apartments and their
hospitable master so popular and gay this
winter.
Numberless stories are told of the Cardinal's
pious fastidiousness. The last I heard is
very good. The other day, while at the villa
of his brother, Prince Charles, he was so dis
pleased at What he considered the leuM look of
a marble Bacchante standing in the grounds,
that he actually erdered the gard6ner to brcaV"
it into pieces while he was there.
--But-our-aseeficalrhandsomer-eleriettl-'Bona—

' While on; this Bonaparte' subject we will
have a few words about a kinsweman of the
,great family, Madame Ratazzi, the wife of the
unscrupulous Minister, of Victor Emmanuel,
-- who vainly tried to achieve poWer by using the
Garibaldium revolution of 16trr, but the
Mentana struggle most unexpectedly caused a
reaction in favor of Rollie. This Madame
Ratazzi, his Wife, is also a Bonaparte, through
bor . mother, Madame . Bonaparte-Wyse.
Madame Ratazzi, like her mother, has had a'
remarkahle history. She was Madame Marie
•de Solms before she married the Piedmontese
:Minister, and was distinguished . for her
editorial work - journals, her books,' as
well as for er questionable morals:
and! manners. She published a paper in'
Florence, in '65, le Courrler de Florence,
and is now engaged on a ' romance
published, in feuilletons, in which it.
is said she is giving the history of
Victor Emmanuel. She, is a bold, clever
reckless woman, who has nothing tolose.
Madame Ratazzi and' her mother tried to en
ter the Imperial circle 'at Paris, but the Ern
peror - would not allow them to stay; he gave
3,l4dame Bonaparte-Wyse a place at Spoleto,
and allows her to come to Rome (luring the
winter.' Ma • me Eatazzi was here at Easter
- also; and was pointed out to me one day. She
is a small, showy woman, about fifty-five,
rouged, painted and decked out in a style quite
in accordance with her reputation.
Bome is in a grand fester dress this week.
To,morrow the Pope goes in grand gala train
froni the Vatican to Chiesa Nuova, and on
Thursday His Holiness makes the fine proces
sion on the piazza of St. Peter of Corpus
Christi, one of the grandest festal of all the

The result of the trial of the Porto San Paolo
case, which has been going on since the 14th,
has been published in the last Correspondence
de Rome. The offenders were rebels of the 22d
of October, 1867. There were Axty-eight, de- -
fended by four advocates, Gui, Palomba, Mar
chetti and Mansi.
The Court has condemned the two chiefs
of the revolt to twenty-five years of the galleys.
four others to twenty years, three to fifteen
years, two to twelve years, forty to ten years,
and five to less than ten years. The minors
have been discharged and set at liberty. The

Mr. Motley's Instructions.
THE SUMNER POLICY NOT
APPROVED. .
A CABINET MEETIM IN LONDON.
RUMORED COMMUNICATION FROM MR.
WASHINGTON, Sunday, June 13.—Since the
discussion of the Alabama question, both at
home and abroad, has taken such a wide scope,
and since there has been such a decided reac
tion from the positions of Mr. Sumner's speech,
and since the proposition to make the question
a party issue meets with little serious counte
nance, it becomes more than usually interest
ing to know precisely where the Administra
tion stands at present. The Gladstone Minis
try will, in a few days, officially understand
our position, and there UM, therefore, be no
impropriety in stating the facts as they exist.
So much has been said from this point on
this subject, and such vague and contradictory
accounts have been given of Mr. Motley's in
structions, that the public mind must be much
confused respecting the precise attitude of our
Government. Mr. Sumner, while never as
serting in positive terms that these instruc
tions were based on his speech, has, neverthe
less, sought to convey in his con
versations , the impression that he
had been Substantially indorsed, and he
has repeatedly stated that Mr. Motley
and himself were in perfect accord upon 'the
subject. This latter assertion is very possibly
true. But Mr. Stunner knows what Mr.
Motley's instructions are as thoroughly as does
the man who wrote them, and his pride pro
bably prevents him from making a frank
admission of the completeness of his defeat.
No matter what impressions he may convey
in discussing. the subject, it is nevertheless
known here that he is much displeased with
the instructions, and they are almost entirely
at variance with his views, for the following
reasons:
irst--Ir. Sumner wanted Mr. Motley in
structed to propose a re-opening of the nego
tiations at once on the basis of his speech. Mr.
Motley's instructions were precisely the re
verse of this; to wit—to make no overtures for
the re-opening of negotiations at present, butawait
the action of the-English government and the
development of events.
PSecond—Mr. Sumner wanted the instructions
to cover-thequestion-of belligerenem--which r he-in--
sists in his speech, gives this Government a
claim against the British Government for dam
a"es or, reparation. On the contrary, Mr.
Motley was instructed to inform. the British Gov
ernment:at the proper time that the United ,States,as
a Government, has no claim against Great Britain
for damages because of her recognition of the
bellig
erency of the rebels.
This Whole matter was
,maturely considered -
by the President„ bath in Cabinet and out of
Cabinet, and in the light not only of our rela
tions to. Great Britain, but our relations to
Prance - , - Spairand - rother - natienS - WhlcirrecOg= -
nized the SoutlL 'ln these disciST.dons, the
only man who stood by Mr. Stunner's position
was Secretary Boutwell. Every other mem-',
ber of the Cabinet, as well as the President, •
disapproved very decidedly of the &Bey enun
ciated in Mr. Sumner's speech, and. the result
of their deliberations was, as has been repeat
edly stated iu yOurtelegraphic despatches,that
the Administratien on this question resolved
upon the policy of non-action,:
These I know to be the facts in the case, and
they define spbStantially the present attitude:l
Of the.AdministratiOtt---,L,._

question. ( The President, the Seeretary

The British Cabinet.
[By Caine Teirliram
LONDON, Sunday, June 13.—A. Cabinet meet
ing was held yesterday.. It is rumored,though
the report cannot be authenticated, that an
official Communication from Mr, Motley was
presented by Lord Clatendon. The report
states that in his communication Mr. Motley
informs Her Majesty's Government of the re
jection by the United.. States Senate of the
Alabama Claims Treaty. He represents
that the grounds for rejection were the
insufficiency ,of the treaty as a full settle
ment of the question in dispute between,
the two countries; he intimates that the pre- ,
sent Administration concurs in the reasons
which: led the Senate to decline to ratify the
treaty, and says that he is instructed to express,
the earnest desire of the American Government'
for a speedy and friendly removal of the mat
ters in difterenee by a treaty which will do
justice to all parties, leaving no question open
for future misunderstanding or complications.
lie announces his readiness to receive and
consider with liberality any proposition Her

(Settlement of a Great Chancery Snit.
At the last session of the United States Court
for the Northern District of Illinois, the great
case involving the interests of the. heirs of the
late Henry Seymour, of Utica, N.Y.., and Jere
miah Price, of this city, was finally decided by
Judge Drummond, the decree of the lower
court being affirmed, and the receiver author
ized to sell the estate, either at public auction
or private sale.
The history of this case, somewhat remark
able in many particulars, extends over many
years, the original bill of complaint bearing
the date of Juno 20, 1857, and recites, among
other facts, that on the 9th of May,1835, an
agreement was made in writing at Utica, N.Y.,
between Henry Seymour, of the latter place,
and Jeremiah Write, of Chicago, by which it
was agreed, in consideration of certain moneys
advanced, that Price was to explore for, and
purchase land in the States of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, and the Territories
of Michigan and Wisconsin, on or near
the sites, or expected sites, of towns
or places of bu.siness, in tracts of moderate ex
tent. The purchases were limited to the sum
of $5,000, with which 2,440 acres were pur
chased, all located in this State, in the coun
ties of Cook, Will, Dupage and Grundy. It
was stipulated in the agreement that sales of
the lands purchased were to he made within
five years. Before that time elapsed, Mr.
Seymour died, and the great crash of
1837 occurred, with general disarrangement
of business, and no steps were taken either by
Mr. Price or the Seymour heirs to carry out
the original terms of the agreement. Mr..
Price also died in 1851, no effort being yet
made to perfect the arrangement. In 1857
ohn High, Jr., administrator of Jonathan.
Price, in communication to the Court, states
that there had been sold about two hundred
acres of the land, for which nearly $70,000 had
been obtained, which shows the enormous ad-.
vance obtained over the original, invest
ment, and the probable value of the remain
ing property.
The legal proceedings have been prolonged
to an unusual degree, and it is with much
satisfaction that we now announce that the
final decve authorizes that the sale be made
at once, leaving it discretionary with the Re
ceiver, L. C. Paine Freer, Esq., whether
the property should he offered at pri
vate sale or otherwise. Judge Freer
has wisely decided, we believe, to place
the sak in the hands of William A. Butters
Sc. Co., the well-known auctioneers: We learn
that numerous applications are constantly
being made, from abroad, for catalogues and
information. It is also understood that several
capitalists, not residents of the city, are con
templating investments for immediate im
provement. In its magnitude, and present
and future effects on the real estate market,
tbisSale has, thus far, had no parallel in this
city.

that lie is under the tutorship of the eminent tragedian,
Edwin Forrest, and that he Mr F.) did not want 'him to

assume the character- of "Smith," insisting that lie was
hiding his light under a bushel by so doing. Mr. Forrest

In later years, veiling its tmblest face. ~
In a most loathsome place,
The cheap adornment of a house of slitumN,..;

It fell, and parted from its mouldering kritera.

The rotted canvas, faintly smiling still,.
.From worldly puff and frill, , , •
Its ghastly smile of coquetry and pride,.
Crumpling its faded charms
And yellow. jewelled arms, •,,
lilere rubbish now, was rudely cast wane. k
The shadow of a Genius crossed the gate:
He, skilled to re-create
In old and ruined paintings their lost soul
And beauty,—one who knew
The Master's touch by true,
Swift instinct, as the needle knows thepolo,
Looked on it, and straightway his searchhig
eyes
Saw through its coarse disguise
Of vulgar paint and grime and varnish stall
The Art that slept beneath,— -
A chrysalis in its sheath,
That waited to be waked to life again.
Upon enduring canvas to renew
Each wondrous trait and hue,—
This is the miracle, his chosen task!.
He bears it to his house,
And there from lips and brows
With loving touch removes their alien mask.
For so on its perfection time had laid
Au early, mellowing shade '

Then hands unskilled, each seeking to int--
part •
Fresh tints to form a face,
With some more modern grace,
Had buried quite thelnighty. .Nlaster's Art. •

Brow, cheek, and lid, went all
That outer'shape of worldliness; when, lo
Beneath the varnished crust
Of long imbedded dust -
A fairer face appears, emerging slow, •
The features of a simple shepherdess!
Pure eyes, and golden tress,
And lastly, crook in hand. But deeper still
The Master's work lies hid;
And still through lip and lid •

Behold at len.gth, in tender light revealed,, • ,
The soul 80 long concealed!
All heavenly faint at first, then softly bright,
As smiles the young-eved Dawn
When darkness is withdrawn,
A shining angel breaks upon the sight I .;

Imperishable design,
Lo uow ! that once despised and outcaat

Holds its true place among
