—l lbe Mailv Morning Poet
JOISRPR BONAPARTE!.
By the Editor of Me N. Y. America*.
Aniong the occurrences, which, in taking a retro*.
pact of the past year, seems to demand same same
notice than in the hurry of the hour was awarded to
it, in this country, is the death of the eminent parson•
age mentioned at the head of this article.
Joseph Bonaparte, or as he was known among us,
Count Survi !Hers, passed so many years an exile in
our country. and won during those years,
so much re
spect and kindly feeling by his conduct, that we have
thought it mightnot be uninteresting to our regain,
as it teems in some measure due to the memory of
one who is freshly remembered by many warm friends
among us, to have a brief notice of his life and death.
Joseph, the eldest brother of Napoleon, andthrough
life his most intimate friend, was born in Cook* in
1788. He was together with Napoleon educated at
Autun, where the tendency of their. respective testae
and character developed itself by their preference of;
or excellence in, particular studies—Joseph the mesa
of letters and of peace, doing for his soldier-brothee
his Latin and Greek verses; while the future conquer.
or studied Cresar and Alexander, and helped his bro.
ther in the mathematics.
Elected a deputy from Ajaccio to the Corsican
assembly in 1790, be ardently embraced the princi
ples of the Fteoch revolution, which be cherished to
Ibis death. He was speculatively, always a friend of
Freedom, and though the crown of two nations bad
graced his brow, and two others tendered to him--one
in this our new world, were set aside by him—be did
not, in power forget, so far as he was free to act,
his early pledges.
His career in France was rapid and brilliant. Ia
1796, he was the French A mbassador at Ruiner—sub.
sequently a member of the Council of Five Hundred,
and in 1800 a Counseller of State, in which capac
ity be, together with Roederer, concluded a corner
vial treaty between France and the United States.—
He was the plenipotentiary who signed the treaty of
Luneville, which gave peace to the continent in 1801
—and the treaty of piece with England at Amiens is
in 1802.
When the Empire arose, Napoleon being without
male issue, Joseph end his brother Louis, and their
descendants, were looked to as the successors of the
Emperor; and then it was that Napoleon first requi
red that Joseph, so distinguished in civil and diplo
matic life, should put on the harness of the soldier.
He insist ed s.
that one to whom the succession might
fall. should be versed in military, as well in civil con
duct, and accordingly Joseph became Colonel of a reg
iment to the famous Camp of Bologna.
While there, the crown of Lombardy was offered to
him, but he refused it because the Emperor made it a
condition of acceptance, that he should renounce his
claim to the &accession of the Empire, and moreover
that he should pay an annual tribute to France.
' In 1806, at the head of an at my of 40,000 men, he
was commissioned to overthrow the throne of Queen
Caroline. He easily and rapidly effected the conquest,
and his own brow bore the crown which be had coo
quered. His brief reign of two years was a succession
of bounties to a people who had been long degraded
by a most oppressive despotism. He founded civil
and military schools—some of which yet exist—over
threw feudal privileges—suppressed the convents—
, opened new roads—caused the Laxsarosi of Naples
to work and be paid—drained marshes—and every
where animated with new life and hope a people long
sunk in abject servitude. Joseph was here in his ale.
ment, for he loved to do good.
From these scenes, so congenial to him, he was cal
led by the Emperor in 1808, to Bayonne, and there
the crown of Spain was forced upon him. In his aew
sphere he strove to adhere to his pro/loos course, and
by mildness and persuasion, and benefits conferred, to
conciliate the affection of Spain. He even besought
the Emperor to withdraw all the French troops, trust
ing by freak and loyal conduct Lewitt* the Spaniards
to obtain their confidence and support. His request
was not acceded to, and the hatred and jealousy of fa
reigners, which mark the Spanish character, exaspe
rated by the clergy, and encouragei by the presence of
a large English army, rendered all Josephs efforts for
a peaceful success, such as he bad accomplished in
Naples, impossible. He was obliged to be the soldier
, and although worsted in the event, he gave in the vari
ous battle-fields where he was present, decisive indica
tion of courage and conduct. Wearied with a fruit
less struggle which promised no opportunity for the ix
excise ofthe kindly plans he alone desired to carry out
in his new kingdom, he wrote to the Emperor on 23d
March, 1812, from Madrid, earnestly asking permit
sion to resign the crown that four yearabefore had heart
imposed upon him.
In that letter he says: "I have done no good,, and
have no hope of doing any. In accepting the crown I
had no other object in view than the promotion of the
happineu of this great monarchy. It has not been
in my power to accomplish it. I therefore ask to be
received by your majesty as a simple subject." Per.
mission was refused, but the fortune of war drove Jo
seph from his crown and kingdom, and be was once
more in France. The reverses of 1818-14, bad over
taken French triumphs; the capital was menaced; Na
poleon with the fragment of his victorious armies was
manceuvring between the Marne and the Seine, with
the hope of covering Paris—but the overwlselmbig
ember of the adverse'' , rendered enocess
From Rheims in the 16th of March, 1814, he wrote
I to Joseph, to whom, on leaving Paris, he confided the
defence of the capital, and the care of the Empress
and her son—recalling to him and renewing his verbal
instruction not to permit either Marie Louise or the
I King of Rome to fall into the hands of the enemy. in
this letter he says emphatically. "Quit not my son,
and remember I would rather know him La be in the
Seine, than in the hands of the enemies of Franca-.
Thefortane of Astyanex, prisoner of the Greeks, has
always appeared to me the most melancholy fo rtune
recorded in history."
This letter determined Joseph to send of the Eat.
press and her son, and the next day he followed them;
a course for which be he. been much reproaehed,
hastening the fall of Paris. That fall, however, was
inevitable, and the chances ofdelaying it a few bouts.
was not weighed by Joseph against the sacred fidelity
with which he resolved to execute the Emperor's in.
junctions about his family.
After the abdication of Napoleon. Joseph retired to
Lausanne. Soon the events of the hundred days found
him again in Paris, and again deeply trusted by his
brother. In a memoir of Joseph, by the prisoner of
Ham, his nephew Louis Napoleon, it is related that
upon his suggestion, Napoleon sent a confidential per.

left the Congress," Pozso di Borgo is reported to have
said, "where I employed all that I possess eteloquence
and influence to reanimate the coalition against the
Emperor—l cannot recall what is past—l should den.
