Madame Iliamter—Clapter 9.
It is strongly impressed upoi; our mind,
though we am unable to recollect thil autho
rity, that Madame Rioamier paid a visit to
England, in the summer of 1802, Immediately
after the Treaty of Amiens restored the blesa
ing of peace to Great Britain and Franco. At
that time there was a- lingering adherence, on
the ptieot the latter qountry, to Mte , stßialitteil
.40:4644 1 06,
r ill , W which was,
, brotight le' soon after the Revolution. It is
said that Madame Recamier,.attired In tho
dress or rather in the undress) of this period,
went to walk in Kensington Garden, a fashion
able resort in those days. She was attired in
the statuesque drdpery of the old time, which
involved a very inconsiderable quantity of . the
thinnest muslin, looped,up at one of the knees,
after the steno of Diana in the Louvre, a
minimum of inner garments, and sandal., in
stead of alines, upon her atockingless feet.
Such attire had passed master in the Garden
of the Tuileries, bat was not adapted for
Engliah sense of - propriety in Kensington
Garden. The result was, that by the time
beautiful Madame Recamler had' got to the
end ofthopfroad Wall( abe was literally mobbed
by the bystanders, and had to seek safety, by
flight In a hackney-coach, and thus received a
practical hint that the costume of the ancients
was not likely to become popular in England. '
Her biographer does not mention this escapade
of hers.
After Madame Recamier intimated to Na
poleon that she loved her personal Indepen
dence too well to surrender it, in order to be
come Damo du Palsis to the Empress Jose
phine, he believed, and not without some
grounds, that she really was ill-diap -
wards his Government and himself. Her house
was the centre of attraction, and even the
most considerable men among h's ministers
and lieutenants were her most assiduous vial
tem The late Prince Metternich, then Aus.
trian Ambassador to France, visited her only
by stealth, for fear of offending Napoleon,
whom ho was then anxious to conciliate. The
brother of tbo beautiful and unfortunate Louisa,
Queen of Prussia, was under the humiliating
necessity of visiting Madame Recamler incog
nito.
She was the Queen of Beauty, Fashion, and
Elegance. We are f , old i that now, at the ago
of twenty-five, she, nursed in ease and luxury,
had never been permitted to trouble herself
with household arrangements, or to understand
the value of money. She was at the zenith of
her beauty and power. Her husband's wealth
had been employed in building a shrine suited
to the idol who was to bo worshipped in it.
Tho house in the Rue du Mont Blanc was fur
nished with fabulous splendor. Every article
in it was :mule from a model expressly designed
for the occasion. It was in the monstrous
style which so fitly characterized that period,
and was suited to the • taste which then pre.
willed, but nothing was wanting to Its magnifi
cence. Mme. Recamier's life was, as wo have
said, an unnatural and factitious one; she had
renounced the nature and affections, the warm
emotions, the passionate devotion, the soft
compllanceaand tender cares of woman; she
had, as a compensation, a golden pedestal on
which her beauty sat enthroned. And now, In
the plenitude of her power, all these splen
dors were suddenly taken frees her.
Her husband, who was a leading banker in
Paris, became bankrupt in the autumn of 1800,
and suddenly startled her with the intelllgence.
Ho said that he bad applied to tho Bank of
France for the loan of a million of francs,
($200,000) upon good security, which would
re-establish his affairs,—but if ho wore refused,
ho must suspend payment In forty-eight hours.
We aro told that she was at first stunned by this
abrupt announcement of -so unlooked-thr a re
verse ; but soon summoning all her strength,
and looking her now duties clearly in the face,
she tried to impart semo of her own courage
to 31. Recamier. In vain. Ho hurried off to
the country, leaving her to receive a large
dinner party. She went through this hor.
rade trial with such perfect apparent tranquil
lity that none of the guests suspected the an
guish that lay bid under her sweet smile, or
the ruin that impended over the mistress of
such a feast. The advance from the Bank of
France, which in other cases would have been
granted, almost as a matter of course, was
harshly refused, and the honed stopped pay
mont
Tto wife accepted this change of fortune
without complaint and without ostentation.
All her gorgeous Purniture and plate were sold,
nor did she reserve a single jewel that had
been rather a foil to than an adornment of her
rare beauty. A purchaser could not immedi
ately be found for her largo and costly kouse,
and she let the whole of it, except a small
apartment on the ground floor, to which she
retired. Paris sympathised with her in ad
varsity. She was more visited than before.
Napoleon was piqued and annoyed at the ox
tent and warmth of this general sympathy,
which showed that Parisian society really had
a heart, and testily exclaimed, when Junet
spoke of it to him, if People would not pay so
much homage to the widow of a Marshal of
Franco killed on the field of battle."
Madame Reeamier was correct in attributing
the unfriendliness of tloa Bank of the France
towards her husband to the influence of Napo
leon, whom she had implacably offended. M.
Pelet, in his w Opinions do Napoleon dans 10
Conseil d'Etat," has recorded that when M.
ftecamier became bankrupt Napoleon seriously
proposed in the Council of State that Madame
ftecamier should be subjected to a joint re
sponsibility with him for the debts of his bank.
"I em of opinion," skid Napoleon, "that, in
case of bankruptcy, the rvife should be de
prived of all her conjugal rights ; because our
manners sanction the ,principle that a ,wife
must follow the fortune of her husband, and
that would deprive her of all inducement to
continuo his extravagance."
M. Polet declares that Napoleon was jealous
of bankers, because they were an independent
class who had no need of the Government,
while the Government often stood la need of
their assistance; " bes ides that, in wishing
to render Madame Recamier responsible for
her husband's debts, he was actuated by
a special spite against that celebrated lady.
The little Court with which she was sur
rounded, on account of her incomparable
beauty, excited his jealousy as much as the
talents of Madame de Stael. Elevated as ho
was above all others, ho could not see, without
pain, that she shared with him the public at..
Mallon." This may bo true, but Napoleon
was certainly actuated, also, by a dislike, if
not a dread, of the political enmities fostered
against him in Madame Itkamier's drawing
rooms.
The following year (1807) Madame Re.
miler visited Madame do Stael at Coppet, in
Switzerland. here, Prince Augustus of
Prussia, a young and handsome German
prince, met hor and became- enamored. Ilor
biographer lays :
Being hlmsolf a Protestant, and a native of a
country In which divorce is authorized by law,
both civil and ecclesiastical, he flattered himoolf
that the beautiful Juliette would consent to die
solve her merely formal marriage, and proposed to
make her his wife. Three months passed in the
enchantments of a passion by which Mme.
Inter, If she did not share it, was deeply touched.
All things conspired to favor Prince Augustus.
Mme. do Steel's imagination, easily captivated by
anything romantics and singular, rendered her an
eloquent auxiliary of the Prince, and the very
scenes around them—the lovely shores of Lake
Leman, peopled with romantic) shadows—were well
fitted to trouble the reason. Mme. Reminder's
resolution was, for a moment, shaken, and ehe ac
cepted the proposal of marriage which, coming
from a prince of royal blood, and impressed with a
high sense of the prerogatives or his birth and
station, WAS the strongest proof that could be given
not only of passion, but of esteem. Promises of
marriage were Interchanged, and Mme. lti.camier
wrote to her husband to demand that ea tboir mar
riage was in feet null, it might be formally die
solved. M. Itioamier replied that he would cos.
sent if such was her &sire, but appealed to her
better feelings, reminding her of the affection be
had borne her from her childhood, arid the entire
deferenoe he had shown for all her wishes. The

love, and actually accepted a proposal of mar- ,

she sent him her portrait; wee • the
nament of his palace at Berlin while be lived,
and alao a ring, which was buried with him..
Never again did she see him until 1825, at the
religious retreat she then had retired te. She
bad then reached the mature age of forty. ,
eight and that rather disenchinted Atm..
This' was the, only love-passage of Madame'
Ilk:miler's life, and in this she proved her
self to be a very heartless woman.
In 1811, when Napoleon intimated his in
tention of exiling Madame de Steel to Ame
rica, Madame Ricamier went to visit her, and
was herself prohibited from returning to Pa
ris. In 1813 she went to Rome, where, Z3'
usual, she found compensation in the society
which surrounded her. Canova became one
of her most devoted friends; saluted her every
morning with a note or a, sonnet by his bro
ther, the Abha, and almost by stealth trans-.'
ferrod her adorable head to marble. The
bust displeased her, and the artist assigned to
it the name of (( Beatrice." After his death
it was sent to her, with a line of Dante :
" &ma outdid° vol. aints
Donna m'apparfs."
Next to Naples, where die was kindly re- f
calved by Napoleon's slater. Caroline was
Queen, and her husband, Joachim Burst, was
King. Back to Rome, whore she witnessed
the return of Pius VII to the Vatican.
Lastly, to Paris, where, her beauty and fas
cination undiminished, she again became a sort
of institution."
Madame Lenormant describes this as the
most brilliant period of Madame Remy:flier's
life. Her father-huaband's fortune was to a
certain extent restored, and she had inhe
rited her mother's property, which amounted
to 400,000 fr. She was, therefore, once more
enabled to procure for herself all the comforts
and indulgences of life. She was now re
joined by Madame de Steel, tact* over ten years
of exile. Her salon was now attended (under
the reign of Louis XVIII.) by the leading
publicists of France, and by eminent foreign
ers—the Duchess of Devonshire, the late Lord
Bristol, the Duke of Hamilton, Lady Davy and
Sir Ilunaphry, with whom Madame It Manlier
had ascended Mount Vesuvius, Humboldt; and
.of her own countrymen, the Montmomncys,
the Bertins, the Periers, Benjamin Constant,
M. Villemain, and, at a later period, Count
Montalembert, M. do Tocqueville, Thierry,
Salvandy, Sainte Berme, Merimee, and Am
pere; also by Due Matthieu de Montmorency,
M. de Chateaubriand, and M. Ballancbe. It
may be added that Do Montmorency and Cha
teaubriand weri) political rivals, and that M.
Ballanche was the ugliest man in France.
In 1819, she unavailingly gave up a part of
her own fortune tosrevent the second insol
vency of her husband, and then determined to
retire from the world to the religious commu
nity at the Abbey° aux Bois. She engaged
to support her husband out of the wreck of her
fortune, provided that he consented to abandon
the speculations which had been so fatal to
him.
She retired from the world, at the age of
forty-two, when time had passed his wing very
gently over her beauty. She lived for thirty
years in this retirement—visited very exten
sively by her former friends. Latterly, she
became blind, and bore the deprivation very
courageously. In 1849, she died, of Asiatic
cholera, at the ago of seventy-two.
Such was the career, very brilliant and
much chequered, of one of the most celebrated
women of her time and nation. Not without
faults (for she coquetted dreadfully with the
Prussian Prince, and finally jilted him), she
had the reputation of constantly behaving
with remarkable propriety. Her character
and her charms made the world declare that
Madame Recander was bootie et belle.
Her biography, which has just been pub..
lished in Paris, would be worth translating and
republishing in this country. It would make
a nico duodecimo.
Correspondence of The Prowl
Letter from Chum bersburg.
eIIigIIERIBURG, Pa., Feb. 18, 1860.
The opening of the Franklin Railroad, from
this place to Greencastle, has been the stirrin3
event of the past two weeks. I will not detail the
history of the old road, as most persons are familiar
therewith. Suffice it to say, that since the aban
donment of steam power upon, it, a number of years
since, it was indifferently need by the publio ge
nerally as a sort of open highway, for all manner
of rickety horse-power tracks, ho.
Within two years past a new company, under
the Presidential direction of A. J. Jones, Req., a
very enterprising citizen of Harrisburg, took hold
of the matter of reconstruction; and although the
work has, from various canoes, been somewhat de.
'eyed, the road is now opened for business, and
will be thoroughly completed by spring. The
trains will no doubt run regularly to liagerstowe,
Md., by the first of March. But for the present
heavy anew, the 223 had seen tsslll, through.
Owing to the current which arrangements for
business operations has taken, Philadelphia will
be an immense gainer by this road. The route to
your city by way of Harrisburg is a shorter and
will be a much cheaper one than that via Balti
more and Wilmington ; which, besides requiring
the longest time, inoludes twenty-six miles of sta
ging—an excessively disagreeable mode of travel
ling, whioh every person will try to avoid This
saute slow-coach business is comprised also in the
trip by that route to Baltimore, requiring ten long
hours, whereas by the Franklin Railroad, and via
Harrisburg. seven hours are sufficient. Ladies,
especially, will not hesitate to taker the new route.
The great item of business will be the transpor
tation of flour, of which it is estimated about five
hundred thousand barrels era produced every year
in this great valley. A recent conference of the
railroad companies interested In this trade has
resulted in as arrangement to ship dour from
Hagerstown to Philadelphia at the low rate of fifty
cents per barrel, in the summer, and forty-five
cents in the winter. These figures have been re
ceived with universal satisfaistion by alt the exten
sive millers in Washington minty, Md., who seem
to have a predilection for the Philadelphia market,
in preference to Baltimore. I bare no doubt that
an hundred thousand barrels will await the com
mencement of shipping at Hagerstown. After the
consummation of the arrangement mentioned, no
serious competition is apprehended from the Ches
apeake and Ohio Canal. It Is proposed to run
Pennsylvania Railroad freight cars through from
Hagerstown to Philadelphia. bimilar operations
will be had with Baltimore, TN the Northern Can.
tral Railroad Very extensive and substantial
warehonses have been eonstrueted at Gresneastle,
State-line, and Hagerstown, in order to aooornten
date this heavy freighting, while the people of
those towns, together with those of Waynesboro',
Mereereburg, and other points, will hail this op
portunity for pleasant and expeditions travelling.
By a contract with the Cumberland Valley
Company they will operate the new road during
one year, under the superintendence of Col. 0. N.
Lull. The business of the Franklin Company is in
the bands of Col George B. Ayres, as general
agent.. Both gentlemeh are well known for their
ability and experience In railroad matters.
As at important tributary to Philadelphia busi
ness, I congratulate you on the opening of this
new read. Many attachi.s of Arms in your city
have already canvassed the country hereabouts,
and they declare the general sentiment to he
weightily in favor of Philadelphia. X. V. Z.

Paris correspondence of the Augsburg Gazette:
"I (tether from one of the managers of the Che
min du Nord, that when Mr. Cobden arrived some
months ago from England, his luggage weighed
about 13,000 kilos, ( ) that is to Lay, thirteen tons.
It was immediately forwarded to bt. Cloud. This
parcel contained patterns of every kind of English
produoe. The Emperor went with Mr. Cobden
over the whole of these articles, comparing quail
ty, coot of production, and price, with that of the
corresponding articles of French manufacture. At
that time, nobody in Paris had an idea of Mr. Cob
den baying established a depot of English goods in
the Palace of St. Cloud, and was studying econo
mical reform with the Emperor, as he owe before
had done with Lir Robert Peel. The Emperor
made a good use of this opportunity to acquire
commercial knowledge, and he thus became en
abled to meet and conquer the deputations of the
protoctionists on their own ground.
