The boy was extremely beautiful, and deed

that Josephine was quite at ease, arid serene
days again dawned upon her heart.
Early in the spring of 1807, this child, upon
whom such destinies were depending, then live
rears of age, was seized suddenly and violently
with the moor), and in a law hours died. 'Fire
blow fell upon the heart 0/Josephine with most
appalling power. Deep as was her grief at (Ire
loss of the child, she was overwhelmed with un.
controllable angirish, in view of those fearful
consequences, which she shuddered to contem
plate. She knew that Napoleon loved her fond

sway was now apparently unshed. Napoleon
had bOcome the creator of Kings.and the proud- .
est monarchs of Europe were constrained to do
his bidding: - It was in as briar of exultation .
that the mournful tidings reedited him. He

The struggle in- Ilk mind between his love for
Josephine, and his ambitious desire to found a
new - dynasty, and - to transmit his name and
Game to all itostority, Ms fearful. It was man
ifest in his pallid cheek, in his restless eye, in
the loss of appetite and . sleep. r Dot the stern
will of Bonaparte was unrelenting in its pur
poses. With an energy which the world has
never seen surpassed, he-lied chosen his part.—

Josephine knew Napoleon. She know the
power of his ambition. With insup
portable anguish, she wept over the death of
tl.is child, upon whose destinies her own seem
ed to be so fearfully blended, and, with a trein
'bhug-heartrilie awaited her linaliand`s return.
ftlysterihus hints began to fill the jonrnals of
the conicruplated.divorce, end of the 'alliance of
Napoleon with various princesses of foreign
courts. In October, 1809, Napuleon returned
from Vienna. He greeted losephinewith the
greatest kindness, but she soon perceived that
Irk mind was ill at ease, and that he was pon
dering the dreadful qnestiori. He appeared sad
and embarrassed.
.I.le had:frequent pi ivvte in
teryiewiewith his mil:inters. A general feeling
of constraint pervaded the court. Napoleon
peArcely ventured to lush upon his wife; as if
apprehensive that the very sight of one he had
loved Po well, might cause him to waver in his
firm purpose. Josephine Wan in a state of thu
most feverish solicitude, and yet wan compelled
to appear , caltn and unconstrained. As yet . slie
Imo only some Mrebodings of her impending
doom. She watched, with most excited appre
hension, every moveminii. of the Emperor's eye,
every kW:nation of his linter, every sentiment
he. uttered. Each day some new and trivial
indication confirmed her Fars. Fier_ husband
became more reserved ; agented himself front
her society ; the private access between their
apartments was closest ; _he now seldom entered
her rates, and whenever be did so he invariably
knocked. And yet nut ono word had passed
between him and Josephine. upon the fearful
subject. Whenever Josephine heard the sound
of his approuChing footsteps, the fear that Ito
was corning with the terrible announcement of
separation, immediately caused such violent
palpitation of this heart, (list it Wan with the
utmost difficulty that' she could totter across
the fleer,..cven when supporting lierS'elf by lean

The months of October and November pass

to break (ho subject to Josephine. Tho evi

At last.tito ceremony of dinner was over, the

Josephine were alone. Anothe . r 'moment of
most painful silence ensued, when the Empe
ror, pale es death, and trembling in every nerve,
arose, and approached Josephine. He took her
hand,"and, placing it upon his heart, said :
• "Josephine ! my good Josephine! you know
how I have loved VV. It is to you alone that
I own the few moments of
,happiness ,1 have
known in this world. Josephine ! my destiny is
stronger than my will. My'dearest affections

Josephine's brain reeled; her blood ceased to
circulate; ahe fainted, rind fell lifeless,imon 1.116

of the saloon, and called for help. . Attendants
from the ante-room immediately entered. Na

Empress in his arms. She was still unconstipus
of everything, but began to murmur, in tones
of anginsh,4:oll no ! yeti cannot surely do it.—
You would not kill me." °
The Emperor led lie way throngh a dark

The fatal day for the consummation' of the

Josephine, her eyes filled with, tcars, with a
faltering voice, replied :
"I respmd to all the sentiments of the Em
peror, in consenting to the dissolution of a mar
riage
which-heneeforth is in4w.lacie _to the

and exalted interests, has cost has heart ; but
we both glory Wale sacrifices We make for the''
good of our colintry. I feel elevated in giving
the greatest proof of apachinent.and devotion
that was ever given - upon earth.",
Such were the sentiments tytich were ex
pressed in public. But in private Josephine
I surrendered herself to the unrcisi,rained domin
ion of her anguish. No language can dep . ie
tlic intensity of her woe. For six months she
wept so incessently that her eye,v were nearly
blinded with grief. Upon the, ensuing day the
counciVivere again eiScitibled in - ihe grand ea:

divorce. Too Emperor entered - TN; room dres
sed in the imposing robes of 'state, but pallid,
careworn and wretElicil: Lo i v tones of voice,
harmonizing with the mournful scene, filled
the room. Napoleon, apart lay_kiresell, leaned
against a pillar, folded his arms upon his breast,
and in perfect silence, apparently lost in gloo
my thought, remained motionless as .a 'statue.
A circular table was placed in Cho 'centre 9f
the iipartment, and 'upon-this there was a wri
ting apperatus of gold. A vacant arm-chair
stood before the table. Never did a multitude
gaze upon the scalluld, the block or t a e guillo
tine, with more awe than the a mbled lords
arid. ladies in this gorgeous saloon - ontelnplated
these instruments,of a :mere art 7ful execu

At laugth thp mournful silrn ashiterrup
tediby-thiiimpriirlf; of sidedo? Inds the en
trance of Josephine. Vile pe p ! death was
upon her brow, and the n of despair
nerved her into a temporary ci triness. She'
was leaning upon 'the arm of f. irtense, whei
not possessing the. fortitude of her mother, Was
entirely unable to control her feelings, but im
mediately upon entering the room -burst , into
tears, and continued sobbing roost convulsively.
The whole assembly rose

that grace which ever distinguished her move
merits, stio advanced Silently to the seat provi

,leaning Wei
forehead upon tier hand, she listened to the
reading of the oet of scpanit ion. Nothing dis

-tones of the reader's -voice; - Et.e;enc,; in the
,meantime, had taken a position"' his mother's
side. Silent tears were tricHing. down the
cheeks of the Empress.
As soon as the reading of the bet of separa

t hen.rising, cl. ar and 1111kSie< but tremms

She then sat down, took the pen and affixed
her signature to the deed which sundered the
dearest hopes and the fondest ties which `hu

mournful but Sublime-tragedy..
But the anguish of the day was not yet over.
Josephine, half delirous with grief, had anoth
er scene still more painful to pass through, ip
taking a final adieu orliitn who had, been her
husband. Jusiphine remained in her chamber
iii heartrending,' speechless grief, until the
huur in Mitch Napoleon usually retired fur the
night. The Eiperor, restless and wretched,
had just placed himself in the bad from which
he ejected his most faithful and devoted wife,
and-the attendant was on the point of leaving
the room when the private dour of his apart
ment:was slowly opened and Josephine tremb
lingly entered. Her eyes were swollen with'

Its French form is Marie. It is, we hardly
need say, a famous name in both Sacred and

Mary; the mother of Jesus, to that of Mary, the
mother of Washington, the name has, literally,
been exalted. It has been finked with titles and
pow,er—awith crowns and coronets, and adorned
by goodness and beaiity.. Mary has ever been
a favorite name with the poets. Byron, as ho
assured us, felt an absolute passion • for it.,
It is intorwoven with some of his Sweetest

have been ad much attached to it as the author
of Childe Harold. It is still the theme of bards

GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT,
Al the feattval of the friends of the lion. John M
Clayton, which Cook place recently at Wilmitte
ton, Delaware - , that gentleman was called upon
.by the company to tell what he know of Gen.
Scott. HTresponded In the, following eloquent
eulogy':
Fellow citizens: I do not intend, on ah occa-
sion liko this, to make a political spetch ; but •
as I have been reqnested by my friend from
Pennsylvania to give my opinion of Gen. Scott
and of his services to his country, and os you
have seconded the requost so warmly l and 'ear
nestly, I cannot refuso to do so.
I have lived to honor ono gallant eel 'er of
my country, and I hope to liv ,kto , do 't leo to
another. The memory of Tayloria embalmed
in thelhearts of his countryinen and their voice
has' consecrated his name' in tones louder and
more emphatic titan were. over uttered in' token
of their affectionate'''''''''' of any of
their illustrious dead, except, the Father of filo
Country himself Thom still lives a lie'ro *or
thy-of the highest - hortors a nation's gratitude
can .bestow, and that hero is the c. nquer'er of
Mexico (loud applause,) Winfield Scott, whose
name will never perish while a Trlstory of his
esuntry is preserved. (Bursts of applause, lung
bon tinned.'
I do not design at this time entering into the
brilliant earner of this gallant soldier, but I
cannot help reminding you of some of the lea
ding acts of him extraordinary life.
He commenced his career ash soldier id the
war of 1812., Ile.was distinguished, in the first
instance, by his exettinna_af iho battle of
Q ueenstown, where lie resisted, for a long time,
the efforts of a superior force, but he wee at
length, overwhebned, taken prisoner and car
ried into the British possessions, With him
was the gallant band that had fought by his
Side, Many of whom were Irishmen. WhiTh on
board the vessel which was cartyinOtim to the
British North , American Possessions, ho heard
of an extraordinary movement. 14 . went on
deck and found it 'British officer calling the
names of the soldiers of the American army, in
order to ascertain who among them were Irish
men from their "brogue," so that, in pursuance
of the British deetrine, - tholimight. be punish
ed:' Gen. Scott instantly Ordered every Amer--
tun soldier on dock to be silent. They ohoyed
him. Thirty odd Irislimen,TMwever, had been
ascertained by the British to be such from the
replies which they gave to questions put to
them. Scott was shortly afterwards exchanged
fora British officer, and then he fought the
lades of Chippewa Plains, and Niagara. In
those battles_many_prisonerasurrendered
troops, and he immediate ly gave notice to the
Jlritisn authoritielfty. if they toughed a hair
of the head of a single Irishman who had fought
under the standard of the %tied States, for ev
ery life so token un English life should pay the
forfeit ; and that a bloody retaliation would be
exacted by the troops / under his command.—
•(Apptause.) The result was that all those pris
oners_were surrendered-in--exchange for-British
prisoners capiured by Scutt on the never to be
forgotten plains of ohippewa and Nia
In-the last-of these battles that-of---Niagara—
lie lost two horses, which were killed under him;
and at the close of the engagement, perhaps
five minutes before the action terminated, he
received a British musket ball through one of
his shoulders„ which laid itirn_prostrato., on,. the.
earth. He was dragged behind a true and loft
for dead. I shall say nothing at this :time of
hie actions in the war against the Sac and Fox
Indians, nothing of his distinguished services
on the rulithern frontier to prevent the illegal
incursions of our citizens into the British Co;
nadian possessions. But on tlie present occa
sion. when milled on so emphatically, I cannot
forbear calling to your attention that this was
the men who seconded the gallant Taylor in
Mexico, and covered his own brows with unfit• .
ding laurels at Vera CruiPtt Cerro Gordo, at
Cherublisco, at Motion del Rey, at Chapultepee,
and in the' very heart of the Mexican republic.
He gained the splendid litle'of the "Conqueror
of Mexico ;" but he still deserves the prouder
one of THE corm. CITIZEN. faithful oven when
wronged, to his country and her lawa—faithful
under the outrage of ingratitude and the insti
gation of revenge. (Greatop knee) ..
. When in the the city of exico, after having
conquered the enemies -of, is country, after
having _brought the.lHts icon_ war-completely _
in subjection to the American arms, an unex
ampled 'indignity was offered him. . He was
called upon to resign his command in the pros
....eria-Mln army of 30,000 men, flushed with
\ p

specimen' of submission to those laws, and ho
nor and obedience to the institutions of his
country, ra"rely'paralelloir in higtory, and such
as would have mado-a Greck.ora Roman- inn
mortal. (Applause.) This was an example
son hi .part, worthy of the fame of a Belisarius, '
and of a greater than Belisarius. The Spartan
epitoph at Thermopylae has stirred the heart .
and thrilled the 'nerves for 100 years that are
passed.s. "Go, stranger, and toll the Lando: ,

The spectacle of on American General, aft / or
