One morning in the month of June 1306
the Empress J osphine's jeweller was ush

At these words the Emperor turned
Lzrpjy to the jeweder, and said
What do vou mean! Since the cam- !

The jewels, the pattern, tbe mounting,
even the case in which it was enclosed
all were unique. Napoleon had it valued
it was estimated to be w orth 800,000 i
francs, precisely the price wfaicn i oncier
demanded for it. The Emperor was per-
fectly satisfied.
About this time, (June, le-05.) Prince .
Louis Bonaparte, oneof Napoleon's young- j

of Hortense, this last greeting was consol
atory, even at a moment when a throne
was lost. On retiring into private life, she
devoted her&elf to the education of her
children, and to rendering filial attentions
to her mother, who, like herself, was the

of departing without being able to return
the treasure to its owner. What could
he do! All communication between him
and Longwood was peremptorily inter
dicted. A plan occured to his thoughts,
and he determined to run the risk of at
tempting its execution. Among the per
sons who had recently arrived ax St. Hel

open countenance and candid manners en
couraged Las Cases to place confiJencein

House, in the suite of the Governor. He

words to Lim unperceived. ! Lave rea

It ocrcrred to 1i:e Emperor Napoleon
thatLe had, fcr some time, been the object
of more vigilant watcLfulress than before.

rial of happiness and misfortune. For a
long time she preserved it with feelinrs of
sacred veneration; but in a moment of se

compelled lo part with it. The King of

on the ex-Queen an annuity of twenty-

The constitution still exists in form, but
only as a tesumonial of royal perfidy, and
a monument of popular instability. ' It is
no more the real law of the land than the !
Koran. It gave the people a representa

many of its principal members had been
rrested. was arbitrarily dissolved, and no
thing but the royal fiat will ever speak
another into existence. The liberty of
conscience, the liberty of speech, and the-;
liberty of the press, which the constitution I
created, the King has annihilated. The j

aamitiance. A. severe censorsnip is exer

in the whole kingdom no liberal press, nor
anything wearing its remotest semblance,
exists. The popular journals have all !
been exterminated, and the three or four
others are but placards of royal edicts, !
and wretched, garbled compends of for-
eign news, In not one of them have I i
yet seen an article lending in the least to i
enlighten and ennoble the people. Men ''
of hiirh standing are arrested on the wan- I
; ton denunciation of any malicious street
vagabond; letters are intercepted at the ;
posiofnce on the slightest suspicion; dom- i
iciliary visits are constantly made, and the :
closest surveillance is maintained over the (
whole face of society. I had not been in ,

Lave lately been recalled, and restored to 1
all their former privileges. Bigotry, intol- 1
erance, macniaveiism, and consummate
selfishness possess both the ear and the
heart of the King, and it is idle to pre
sume that he will voluntarily part with his
irresponsible power. But what force can
compel him! The same army which saved
him from the' fate of Lis kinsman, Louis
Philippe, is as loyal as ever, and ready to
support him in every emergency. It num
bers fifty thousand men,, and is daily in
creasing. Finer troops I have not seen in
Europe, and no popular demonstration
could stand a day against them. But there
is another lact, which decides the question
more conclusively than either tbe mon
arch's disposition or the soldier's sword
it is the character of the people themselves.
The populaee, as has lately been the case,
may be seized with a momentary passion,
and by violence attempt to right their f
wrongs; but, m me mass, ihey are so be
