JOSKIM11NE. UV Hit. I'HATTi The storv of Napoleon's repudiation ol his genlle Empress has been told a hundred times, but never with more grace and pa thos than by Mr. Abbott in the following, which we copy from his recently publish, ed Life of Josephine : At length the fatal day arrived for the announcement to Josephine. It was the last day of November, 1S09. The Empe. ror and Empress dined at Fontainblean alone. She seems to have had a presenti ment that her own doom was sealed, lor that day ehe had been in her retired apart ment weeping bitterly. As the dinner hour approached, she bathed her swollen eyes, and tried to regain her composure. They sat down at the table in silence. Napoleon did not speak. Josephine could not trust her voice to utter a word. Nei ther ate a mouthful. Course after course was brought in and removed untouched. A mortal paleness revealed the anguish of each heart. Naxleon, in his embarrass ment, mechanically, and apparently un consciously, Ktruck the edge of his glass with his knife, while lost in thought. A more melancholy meal probably was never witnessed. The attendants around the table seemed to catch tho infection, and moved SUMU.MtY, XOUriltl.MIiKltl.AM) COUNTY. I'A.. SA'I VUDAY, A 13 OUST HO. IX.1I. softly and fileiitly in the tliscliaiite of their duties, as if they were in the chamber ul the dead. At last the ceremony of dinnoi was over, the allelidimts were dismissed, and Napoleon, rising and closing the door With disown hand, wns left alone with Jo sephine. Another moment of most painful silence ensued, when the Hmperor, pale as death, an I trembling in every nerve, ap proached the Empress. lie took her hand, pl.tced it upon his heart, and in (lnlUrin! uccenls said, "Josephine! my own rood Josephine! yon know how 1 have loved yon. t is to you nlone that I owe the only lew moments of happiness I have known in the wot Id. Josephine! my des tinv is sti-oii'icr than mv will. Mv dear est affections must viehf to Ihe interests of : 'Vance." i Josepliine's brain reeled ; her blood ceased to circulate ; she fainted, and lell lifeless upon the floor. Napoleon, alarm ed, threw open the door ol the saloon and called lor help. Attendants from the ante room immediately entered. Napoleon took a taper from the mantel, and uttering not a word, but pale and trembling, mo tioned to the Count de Haumorit to take the Empress in his arms. She was still unconscious of everything, but beiran to murmur, in tones of anguish, "Oh, no! you can not surely do it. You would not kill me." The Emperor led the way, through a dark passage, to the private stair case Which conducted to the apartment of the Empress. The agitation ol Napoleon seemed now to increase. lie ultered some incoherent sentences about a violent ner vous attack ; and finding the stairs too steep and narrow for the Count de IJeau niont lo bear the body of the helpless Jo sephine unassisted, he gave the liirht to an attendant, and, supporting her limbs him self, they reached the door of her bed- rQtJin Napoleon then dismissing his male a'temlauts, and lavina Josephine upon her . . ' . 1 bed, rati' for her waitin-t woman. II hung over her with an expression of the most intense afleclion and anxiety until she began to reive. lint the moment cou si iousne.ss seemed returning, he left the room. Napoleon did not even throw him self upon his bed that ni'.'ht. Jle paced the floor until the dawn of morning. The roval surgeon, C'orvisait, passed the night at the bed side of Ihe Empress. Every hour the restless, vet unrelenting Emperor called at her door to inquire concerning her situation. "On recovering from my swoon," says Josephine, "J jierc ived that Corvisarl was in attendance, and my poor daughter, Hiii'triise, weeping over ire. Mo! no! I cannot describe the horror of mv situation during that night! Even the interest he allerted to take in my snfT'erinos seemed to ine additional cruelty. Oh! how much reason had 1 to dread becoming an Empress '." A fortnight now passed away, during which Napoleon and Josephine saw but little of each other. During this time there occur ed the anniversary of the cor onation, and of the victory of Austerlitx. Paris was filled with rejoicintr. The bells rang their merriest peals. The metropolis was refulgent with illuminations. In these festivities Josephine was compelled to ap pear. She knew that the sovereigns and princes then assembled in Paris were in formed ol her approaching disgrace. In all these sounds of triumph she heard the knell ot her own doom. And tliounh a careful observer would have detected indi cations in her moistened eye and her pilid cheek, of the s 'Ci'et woe which was ron siiming her heart, her habitual affability and grace never, in public, for once for sook her. Ilorter.se, languid and sorrow stiicken, was with h r mother. Eugene was summoned from Italy. He hastened lo Palis, and bis first interview was with his mother. From her saloon he went directly lo the cabinet of Napoleon, and inquired of the Emperor it lie had de cided lo obtain a divorce from (he Em press. Napoleon, who was very strongly attached to Eugene, inaile no reply, but pres ed his hand as an expression lint it i - . r . i i l.i i w as so. Eugene immediately dropped the hand ol the Emperor, and said : "Sire, in that case, permit me to with draw from your service." "Ilowf" exclaimed Napoleon, looking upon Ilim sally, "will you, Eugene, my adopted son, leave me !" "Yes sire," Eugene replied firmly, "the son of her who is no longer Empress, can not remain wceroy. 1 will follow my mother into her reheat. She must now find her consolation in her children." Napoleon was not without feelings. Tt ai's filled bis eyes. In a mournful voice, tremulous wilh emotion, lie replied, "Eu gene, you know Ihe stem necessity which compels this measure, and will you forsake me? Who, then, should I have for a son, the object of inv desires and preserver of my interests, who would watch over the child when I am absent I If I die, who will prove to lii i it a father.' Who will bring him up ! Who is to make a man of him !" Eugene was deeply afJccted, and taking Napoleon's arm, they retired, and convers ed a long time together. The noble Jose phine, ever sacrificing her own leelings to promote the happiness ol others, urged her son to remain the friend of Naoleon. 'The Eirqeror," she said, is your benefac tor your n ioi e than lather, to whom you're indebted for everything and to whom, therefore, you owe a bouudless obe dience." The fatal day for the consummation of the divorce at length arrived. It was the 15th day of December, ISO!). Napoleon had assembled all the kings, princes, and princesses who were members of the impe rial family, and also the most illustrious officers of the empire, in the grand saloon of the Tuilleries. Kvery individual pre. sent was oppressed with the melancholy grandeur of the occasion. Napoleon thus addressed thera . "The political interests of my monarchy, the wishes of my people, which have con stantly guided my actions, require that 1 should transmit to an heir, inheriting tny love for the people, the throne on which Providence has placed me. For many years I have lost a, I hopes of having chil dren by my beloved spouse, the Empress Josephine. It is this consideration which induces me to aeri(kc the sweetest nll'ec. lions uf my heart to consult only the good of my subjects, and to di sire the dissolution of our man iiiiie. Arrived at the age of (orly years, I may indulge a reasonable hope ol living long enough to rear, in the spirit ol my own tlioii.-.liis and disposition:-', the ftiildren with which it mav please IVovideiice to bless ine. Co knows what such a determination has cos! tny heart; but there is no sacrifice whii li is above my courage, when it is proved to he for the in terests of France. Far Irom having any cause of complaint, 1 have nothing to say but in praive of the attachment and ten derness of mv beloved wife. She has em- bellished fifteen years of my life, ami the remembrance ol them will be forever en- j graven on my heart. She was crowned hy my hand ; she shall retain always the rank and title of empress. Above all, let her never doubt my feelings, or regard me but as her best and dearest friend." Josephine, her eyes filled with tears. wnii .1 juilfiiue ,i,iv.e, ii'inieu ; J I'MU I I ., ,, .

I know what this act, commanded by policy and exalted interest, has cost his heart, but we both glory in the sacrifices we make for Ihe good of Ihe country. feel elevated in giving the greatest prool ol attachment and devotion thai was ever given upon earth." 1 Such were the sentiments which were ! expressed in public : but in private Jos e phine surrendered lierscll to the on restrain ed dominion of her anguish. No language j can depict the inteiisily of her woe. For. six mouths she wept so incessant I v that 1 her eves Were nearly blinded with grief. Upon the ensuing day the counsel were D it i 1 1 assembled in the grand s it ion, to ' witness the legal consummation of the di- . vorce. The Emperor i iiten d the room 1 dressed in Ihe imposing robes of stale, bid : pallid, careworn and wretched. Low tones of voice, harmonizing with the mournful scene, filled the room. Napoleon, apart bv himself, leaned against a pillar, folded bis arms upon his hreat, and, in period si lence, apparently lost in gloomy tboiijld, remained motionless as a statute, A circu lar table w.is placed in the centre "I the apartment, and upon this there was a wri tina; appiiilus of gold. A vacant arm chair stood before the tab!". Never did a multi tude gaz" upon the sraflold, the block, or the rtuillotine, with more awe than the as sembled lords and ladies iirthis gorgeous saloon contemplated these instruments of a more dreadful execution. At length the mournful silence was in terrupted hy Hie opening ol a siile-door anil the entrance of Josephine. The pslor of ealh was upon In r brow, ami the submis sion of despair nerved her into a temporary calmness. Mie was leaning upon the arm of lot tense, who, not possissing the forti- tude of lief molh, r, was entirely unable lo control her feelings. The sympathetic. :bter, immediately upon entering into the room, burst into tears, and continued sobbing most convulsively during the w ho! remaining scene. 1 he assembly respect-' fillly arose tl poll the entrance of Josephine, : and all were moved to tears. With that grace which ever distinguished lu r move ments, she advanced silently to the seat i provided for her. Sitting down and lean- ( ing her forehead upon In r b ind, she listen ed lo the reading of the act of separation. ' Nothing disturbed the sepulchral silence of: the. sea ne but the sobbings of Uortense, blending wilh the mournful tones of the ri ader's voice. Eugene, iii tin- meantime, pale and trembling as an aspen leal, had taken a position by the side of his mother.

Il was a fitting' termination of this i.:oi.inl'ul but sublime tragedy. fiut the anguish of the day was not yet closed. Josephine, half delirious with grief, had another scene still more painful to pass through in taking a final adieu of him who had been her husband. She re mained in her chamber, in hearl-iending, speechless grief, until the hour arrived in which Napoleon usually retired for Ihe night. The Emperor, restless and wretch, ed, had just placed himsell in the bed from which he had ijected his most faithful and devoted wife, and the attendant v.' as on the point of leaving the room, when the pri vate door of his chamber w-as slowly open ed, and Josephine tremblingly entered. Her eyes were swollen with grief, -her i bair disheveled and she appeared iu all the dishabille of unutterable anguish. She tot tered into the middle of the room, and np prnacbeil the bed ; then, irresolutely stop ping, she buried her lace in her hands, and burst into a flood of tears. A feeling of delicacy seemed (or a moment to have ar rested her steps a consciousness that she had now no risiht to cuter the chamber of Napoleon ; but in another moment all the pi-iit-np love of her heart burst forth, and (oivjetting everything in the fullness ot her anguish, she threw herself upon the bed, clasped Napoleon's neck in her arms, and exclaiming, ".My husband! my husband!" sobbed ns though her heart were breaking. The imperial spirit of Napoleon was fur the moment entirely vanquished, and he also wept almost convulsively. He assur ed Josephine of his love of his ardent and iiudving love. In every way he tried to soothe and comfort her, and for some time Ihey remained locked in each other's em brace. The attendant was dismissed, nnd for an hour ihey continued together in this last private interview. Josephine, then in the experience of an intensity of anguish which few hearts have ever known, parted j forever from the husband she had so long, j,0 fondly, so faithfully loved. j " . j iAt.Sn niioivM,ow ai his r.NCMir.s.
