THE BONAPARTES. -The year 1769 deservelr to be remem bered in the history of the world. No fewer than twenty-six eminent mon were born in that year ; among whom were Humboldt; envier, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and Sir Walter Scott. But in addition to them there were five destined during EMI tl lies to exercise a remarkable in fluence upon one another. To begin with the least eminent 'name on the list, Lord Castlereagh, afterwards Marquis of Londonderry, was born in July, 1769 ; Marshal Noy and Marshal Soult in the course of the same year ; the groat Duke of Wellington in May, and Napoleon Bonaparte in August. Five months earlier Corsica had _become subject to France, and incorporated with the French kingdom, after a long struggle for inde pendence,, first under the worthlenii-JCing Theodore, (who lies buried inthe church yard of St. Anne's Soho,) and afterwards under General Paoli, who_ .also found a resting place in England, Among Gen eral Paoli's adherenta in Ajaccio, was one—Carlo Bounaparto, an attorney in moderate practiCe, the descendant of an ancient but not remarkable Italian fam ily whichliad come from Genoa during the domination of that city in the island. This' Carlo was educated in Italy, and had beeii married some time to Lmtitia als'o the deaendant of an Italian family. They had one elder son, Joseph, born in 1768 ; and called their second by the name of a collateral an cestor of some celohrity in ancient 'ltaly —Napoleon des ::Ursius. It was not a common Christian name, but bore in it a certain dignity of sound, admirably fit ting It, for the part it was to play on the Pagei . ofhistory. The BounaparLos—or, as theylatterly preferred to, spell the name Bonapartes—were sometimes said to to of Greek origin, and- their app'ella• Lion Was called a translation of the not uncommon Greek surname, Kalomeras, or Kalomeros. Napoleon was not un willing to have this legend believed, and it was openly put forward by his agents during certain disturbances wader' the Turkish rule in the Moroa. 'Nor was this the only attempt made- to assort an ancient and honorable descent for the family. The following remarkable story was invented or found : The old legends of the Man in the Iron Mask wore raked up ; Lid jailor was given the name of Bonpart ; his daughter was made to fall in love witli t tla Prisoner, ' to marry him,' rind to bear aeon"; this son Was sent to Italy to hveduoat,e4 ; was, called after the name of his grandfather, Boupart—, Italianfied" into Bonaparte'; and finally timMatiWith the Iron Mask was assumed to be the elder twin brother Of Louis the Fourteenth ! This story. is durious'and astounding enough inall conscience, but is scarcely less so than "the fact that Napoleon hoard it With cornplacency,and would willingly have WWI it . believed. HoWeve ,r the facts of his parentage are 'simply tliese ' futher,was ri qproioani of respoot., -able rank, who s'uffored many-th Jogs •at the. liande of the French on their per= ohaio bf the island ft"om the Genoese, on account, of Ills open objection to their ve,giese; but who; neverthol44 was event•. ikliy,a' member of the 'governing 'body Of the city of Meech), and that, moreover, title 131uries Behapaite,' being rhuo, 1,4444, died of cancer in the atom qafl.fr'aPOP .1785002 v ng hii family of live eons and tbAllt.daP M ° Fltr9FJ,_ l l9 t ° M . 9.

Ho married a dangh. tor of the King of Bavaria, and thus , founded — a - family - Whiclrhauteeti — re= ceived into the inmost circle Of the older royal and imperial caste of Europe. One of hiasons 'was King Consort of Por tngal,but died early ; the - other married the beautiful Archduchees Olga of Rus sia, and died in 1852 ; and of his daugh ters, one, Josephine, became Queen of Sweden, another became Empress of Brazil, and tho'Hiird Princess of Hohen zollern Henchingen. ' As to Queen Hortense, it is hardly ponsible to draw her character. She was witty, beautiful, and gay, and seems to have been, in her latter' years, a good mother. But thus ends the little that ranft,kaAdtinfhexrfavorithflhurawasmallw and extravagant, And- notoriously . un faithful to her husband. Some of her biographers have. gone' no far ati.to say that the present Emperor, Napoleon the Third, is not really the son of Louis, but of 'a . certain Count Flabault, with whom she was very intimate, and' by whom she had 'already had a son, the late Duke de Morny. The singular re semblance observable between the Count and Louis Napoleon strengthens the story.---Hortense-died,in-18a7 r -having... resided for some years in Sivitzerlaud with her younger son. She was accom plished In music, and wrote the air now so welLknown, "Partant pour la Eyrie." Her husband survived her until 1846, but they de not appear to have met from the date of Napoleon's downfall. He' died at Leghorn, and was buried beside his father and hie elder son at St. Lou, in PranCe. Like most of the brothers' he was highly accomplished, and wrote - several •works of fiction, including an opera and tragedy. . Napoleon, by his second marriage, left, as is well known, a, son, the King of Rome, who, after his father's abdication, and the futile attempt to have him ac knowledged, as Napoleon the Second, ac companied his mother to Vienna to the court of his grandfather, the Emperor' of 'Austria. He „entered no' military service of the EMpire, 'and became colonel .of a battalion of infantry. His health failed early—it was said by reason of the assiduity with which he pursued his military studies ; • but . the truth seems to bo that he was encouraged, by his ,grandfather's - eennivhnoe, in every- spe cies of youthful excess, and that the decline of which, Mlee a long illness he died at Scholibrunn, was the result desired and attained by that astute policy. His mother,. Marie •Louisin, after her husband's death, became; by?the treaty of Vienna, Duchess of .Parma and Elomo ' Mitior states, . aid, retaining the title of Empress, lived in comparative retirement until her death in 1847. She had mar ried again a man of inferior rank, who is said to,have kept her strictly under his authority, *ill a view „especially of saving a handsome ;fortune for himself before her death, i . „ • , , Napoleon's eldest brother Joseph, the king, first of Naples and aftervrardh of Spain, begmtlife as an ardent republican; and in 1.79 was a member of the Corsi: Can Gevernment: under Generid NOB, an old friend of the family, and godfather to the future Emperor.

He examined his books and his loose. papers, but with. no success. I was encouraged. During that week I got as far the • Sixth coniptroller in that division; the next week I got through the Claims Department ; the third week I began and completed the Mislaid Con tracts Department, and got a foothold In the- Dead Reckoning Department. I finished that in three days. There was enly one place left for it now. I laid siege to the Commissioner of Odds and Ends. To his clerk, rather—ho was not there himself. There were sixteen beautiful young ladies in the room, awritinguirchonlacamL , thensrwa well fathred young clerks showing them how. The young women smiled 'up over their 31;orilders, and the clerks smiled back at thorn, and allwent merry as a - marriage bell. TwO or three clerks that were reading the .newspapers looked at _rue rather hard, but went on reading, and nobody said anything. However, I had been used to this kind of 'alacrity from Fourth Assistant Junior Clerks all through my eventful career, from the scery_day...Lentered_theifirst.-office-of„the Corn Beef Bureau clear till I passed out of the last one in the Dead Reckoning Division.

So I Stood there till I had changed four different timerr. Then I said to one of the clerks who was reading: "Illustrious Vagrant, where is the Grand Turk?" " What do you mean, sir whom'do you mean? If you mean the Chief of the Bureau, he is out." " Will he visit the harem to day?" The young man glared upon 'me awhile, and then went on reading his paper. But • I knew the ways of those clerks. I know I was safe, if he got through before, another Nen York mail arrived. He only had two more papers left. After awhile he finished them, and then he yawned, and asked me what I 'wanted. " Renowned and honored 'lmbecile On or about—" 14 000 " You are the beef contract man.
