read and repeated from memory the poetry
of Iht native baids. Iy nature she was
simjile, but plr-asinjr, and adsorbed within
herself: externally silent but full of inter
nal feelings; firmed for domestic love in
an obscure disliny: but, dazzled on a
throne, she fell herself rx posed t the jaze
of tile World a-l the conquest of pride, not
the love of a hero. She could dissemble
nothing, ciiher dm i aer dor irrandetu-, or af
ter Ihe ievcr.es of lier lord : and this was
her (time. The theatrical world, into
which she had been thrown, looked lor the
picture of ronjujral passion in a captive nf
iclorv. She wa t jo tins ipbisticated to
allect love, when she only felt obedience,
timidity, and resignation. Nature will
pity, though hi.-lury may accuse In r.
This is a true portraiture of M.irie Lou
is". I wrote it in her pre.-ence ten years
afterwards. She bad developed at that pe
riod, during h.-r liberty and In r widow
hood, all the hidden pr.sccs of her youth.
They wished her to plav a part; the ni
Iress was w-.iutin.r, but the woman remain
ed. History should award her what a
partial verdict of Napoleon's courtiers has
reluseil pity, teiinei uess and grace.
She had been condemned fur not havin
been the theatrical heroine of an afiection
.she never lei'. Ovel looking the feelings
of a woman, her accusers forgot that the
heart will snake itself heard even in the
drama of such an unparalleh d destiny;
and if the heart is not alw ays a justifica
tion, it is at least an excuse. Justice
should weigh such excuses, even when she
condemns.
Marie Louise never loved Napoleon.
How could she love him ? He had grown
old in camps, and amidst the toils ol ambi
tion ; she was only nineteen. His soldier's
heart was cold and inflexible as the spiiit
of calculation which accomplished his
greatness. That of the fair German prin
cess was gentle, timid, and pensive as the
poetic dreams other native land. She bad
fallen from the steps of an ancient throne
he had mounted upon his by the force of
arms, and by trampling hereditary rights
underfoot. Iler curly prejudices and edu
cation had taught her to consider Napoleon
dulge in expressive pantomime, and to take
up anything which lay handy calculated to
add to the effect, no surprise was felt at his
having prepared pistols. He began by re
lating the loves of a young girl and a young
man. Tiny had both, he said, promised
under the most solemn oaths, inviolable
fidelity. The young man, whose profes
sion obliged him to travel, once made a
long absence. While he was away he re
ceived a legacy, and on his return, hasten
ed to place it at her feet. Hut on'present
ing himself before her he learned that in
compliance with the wishes of her family,
she had just married a wealthy merchant.
The young man thereupon took a terrible
resolution. "He purchased a pair of pis
tols like these," he continued, taking one
in each hand, "then he assembled his
friends in his chamber, and after some con
versation pi iced one under his chin in this
way as 1 do, saving in a joke, that it would
he a pleasure to blow out his brains. At
thesime moment he pulled the trbjiier."
Here the man discharged the pistol, and
his head was shattered to pieces. Pieces
of the bone and portions ol the brain f II on
the horrified spectators. The unfortunate
man told his own story."

The address of Kosscti! to the people of
tho United Slates, appeared in Ihe Washing
ton Union of Saturday. It was written at
Brnnesa, Asia Minor, on the 271 li of March,
1830, and in February last, was delivered
by Gov. L'jha.i, to Muj. Tocii.man, with
tho request that he would causa it to be
published, and deposit its original, written
in the Magyar language, in the archives of
Congress. The public-aliim at that lime, it
was supposed, would defeat tho negotia
tions pending for Kossuth's liberation, und
hence it was delayed till that event had oc
curred. It is a noble production, earnest,
elouitent, patriotic; and democratic, and em
bodies the main historical events which led
to the memorable strnole in which IIung,-.
ry, though wot sled, conies from the contest
exalted in the estimation of every liberal
and enlightened nation. We regret that our
limits foibid us to copy moic than thu fol
lowing extracts :
Free citizens of Noilb America ! you
have given, in spite of Austrian slanders, the
fullest sympathy for the causa of my
country. We had no opportunity lo explain
to you our mnlivcs and our conduct, and ie
fule the libels against ns : but we said
and how truly your noble and magnanimous
conduct shows it ! that such a nation
knows how- to defend a just and holy cause,
and will give us ils sympathy ; and this
conviction inspired us wilh tuorcp confidence.
Oh, that you had been a iKMuhboriug na

and would not have to endure again those

KOSSUTH ABDIIKM TO TlIK DEMO,
t IIATfl OF MARSEILLES.
The London Times of the 6lh contains tho
loiter of Kossuth lo the prefect of the de
partment of Marseilles, on his arrival at
F.ance, asking f()r a frpe pa,,ae ,0 England
for Ihe purpose of placing his children 61
school, before taking his departure for tlm
Uuited Slates. The demand being refused
M. Kossuth published tho following ad
dress to tho Democrats of Marseilles :
Citizens The government of the French
republic having refused me permission to
traverse France, the people of Marseilles
yielding lo the impulse of one of those gen
erous instincts of the French heart which
are the inexhaustible source of the nobleness
of your nation, lias honored me by a mani
festation of its republican sentiments a
manifestation honorable for its motives,
manly for its resolution, peaceable in its ar
dor, and as mnjeetic in its calmness as na
ture. I he grand image of God, before the
tempest. I have heaBsbniy name blendsd with
the hymn of ihe "Marseillaise," and wilh

which is the only .legal one in France ; the
only one whose Irgitimacy has been won by
the blood of the martyrs of liberty ! It is so
natural to love freedom ! It is so light to
snlfer for it ! It it almost less than a mere
duty ; but there Is, indeed, a supreme glory
in the thought ol" being identified with tho
principle of liberty in Ihe mind of tho
French people. 1 have no desire for glory
but this glory I accept, in order to merit il.
1 accept it as 11 pledge of common interests,
(auiilarite,) and I accept il us a testimony of
the Irateriiily of the French nation wilh all
nations. 1 nccepl it as the sign of salvation
for my beloved country. To you, French
men ! republicans ! is the honor of that
salvation ! To us poor Hungarians, the duly
of meriting it!" We shall merit il ! My
nation w ill iinda-rsla-id the appeal of your
fraternity. It will bo proud of, and bravely
respond to it, as those ought to do who aro
hoiieted in being railed "brothers" by the
French people. These re the only thanks
worthy of Ihe people of Marseilles worthy
of lhat manifestation with which they have
honored m yet not me, but my nation I
and, i-t my nation, the past leas than tho
future !
Permit me not to speak any mure of the
refusal of the government of the French ie
public to grant me a passage through its ter
lilory. t know that the French people are
uol responsible for, and are not identified
with its acts. I know that neither M. L. N.
Bonaparte nor M. Fancher are the French
nation. I knew, and I know, lhat the exe
cutive power is delegated to them, but that
Ihe honor uf ih French nation is not in
tbsir keeping. I shall 110 longer bear in
mind ihsir rsfitsnl, and 1 desire that human
ity shall not wniimbii it, if by any chance
those who have baen already iu exile, and
who, to all appearance, have forgotten it,
should again be so. Last evening, one of
your brethien. (of our brethren,) an operative
of Marseilles oh ! 1 know his name, anil
I shall not forget il, came, in spite of the
cold, and swimming through the water, on
board the American frigate, to press my
hand. 1 pressed his hand with pity, with
emotion, and gently reproached him for his
temerity. "Que- t-oucs toics!" he answered,
"I desired to touch your hand, 1 could nit .
find a boat, I took to the water, and here I
am. Are there any obstacles to htm who
wills ."' I bowed lo these noble words.
The love of liberty, the sentiment of duty
and fraternity, were mine before coming to
Marseilles ; but it is at Marseilles I have
found ihe motto, "There are no obstacles lo
him who wills." That motto shall bo mine.
Vive la republiqne ! Health and fraternity !
