ABBOTT. Famine was rioting in the streets of Paris, All industry was at. an end, The poor, un employed, were perishing. The rich were gathermg the wrecks of their estates and fly ing from Prance. There was no law but such as was proclaimed by the thunders of Napoleon's batteries. Tho National Guards he immediately re-organized, and soon efficient order was established. Napoleon was inces santly accupied iu visiting all parts of the city, aud words of kindness aud pympathy with suffering, he combined with the strong and inexorable a"rm of" military rule, More than one hundred families, says the Dutchess of Abrantes, were saved from perishing by his personal exertions. He himself climbed to the garrets of penury, and penetrated the cellars of want and woe, and. with a moisten ed eye, gazed on the scene of fearful wretch edness wiih which Paris was filled. lie cau sed wood tnd bread to be distributed to the poor, and, totally regardless of ease or self indulgence, did everything in his power to aneviatc suuering. One day when alighting from his carriage to dine at Madame Permon'e, ho was addres sed by a woman, who held a dead infant in her arms. Grief and huugcr had dried up the fountain of life iu her bosom, and her un wcaned child had died of starvation. Her husband was dead, and five children were mourning for food at home. "If I cannot obtain relief," said the famished mother, I must take oiy remaining five children, and drown myself with them," Napoleon ques tioned her very minutely, and ascertained her place of residence, and giving her some money to meet her immediate wants, he en tered the house aud sat down with thc guests at the brilliant entertainment. He was, how ever, so deeply impressed with the scene of wretchedness which he had just witnessed, that he could not obliterate it from his mind, and all were 'struck with the absent manner aud the sadness of his counenauco Imme diately aftci dinner be took measures to as certain the truth cf the statements which the poof woman had made to bim, and finding all her assertions verified, he took the family immediately under his protection. He ob tained employment for the girls in ncedlewoik among his friends, and the family ever ex pressed the most profound gratitude to their preserver. It was the ucceasing exhibition of ttchtraits ok character by which Napoluou entwined around him the hearts of the French people. Th w?, at this time, in Pari", a lady who was rendered quite prominent in society by tier social attractions, her personal loveli ness and her elevated rank. She was a wid ow, twenty-eisrht jears of ape. Her husband, the Viscount Deauharnais. had recently per ished on the scaffold, an illustrious victim of revolutionary fury. Josephine Taschc-r Boauharnais, who subsequently became the world renowned bride of Napoleon, wns born on the Island of Martinique in the West In dies. hen almost a child she was married to the Viscount Beauharnais, who had visit ed the Island on business, and was captivated by the loveliness of the young creole. Upon entering Paris she was immediately introdu ced to all thc splendors of tho court of Marie Antoinette Tho revolutionary storm soon burst upon her dwelling in merciless fury. She experienced the most afflictive reverses of friendliness, bereavement, imprisonment and penury Thc storm bad, however, pas sed over her, and she was left a widow, with two children, Eugene and Ilortense. From the wreck of her fortune she had saved an ample competence, and was surrounded by influential and admiring friends Napoleon, in obedience to the orders cf the Convention, to prevent thc possibility of an other outbreak of lawless violence, had pro ceeded to the disarming of the populate ' of Paris. In the performance of this duty, the sword of M Beauharnais was taken. A few days afterward, Eugene, a very intelligent child, twelve years of age, obtained access to Napoleon, and, with most engaging artless ness and depth of emotion, implored that the sword of his father might be returned to him. Napoleon had no heart to refuse such a re quest. He sent for the sword, and with kind words of commendation, presented it with his own hand to Eugene. The grateful boy burst into tears, and, unable to articulate a word, pressed tho sword to his bosom, bowed in silence and retired Napoleon was much interested in this exhibition of filial love, and his thoughts were immediately directed to the mother who had formed the character of such a child. Josephine, whose whole 60ul was absorbed in love for her children, was so grateful for tho kindness wtth which tho dis tinguished young general had treated her fatherless Eugene, that she called in her car riage, the next day, to express to him a mother's thanks. She was dressed in deep mourning Her peculiarly musical voice was tremulous with, emotion. Tho fervor and delicacy of her maternal love, and the perfect grace of manner and of language with which she fulfilled her mission, excited the ad miration of Napoleon. Ho soon called up on her. Tho acquaintance soon ripened into an unusually strong and ardent affection. . Josephine was two years older than NaF4" Icon. But'her form and features had resis ted the encroachments of time, and ber cheer fclnees and vivacity invested Uer with all the charms of early youth. Barms, now one of the five Directors who had beep established io power by the guns of". Napoleon, was a very ardent friend of Josephine. He warm ly advocated the contemplated 'connection, deeming it mutually advantageous. Napole on would greatly increase his influence by an alliance with orio occupying so high a posi tion iu society, and surrounded by frieudd sj influential, And Barras clearly foresaw that the energetic young .general possessed genius which would insure distinction Josephine thus speaks in a letter to a friend, of her feelings in view of the proposed marriage : "I am urged to marry again. My friends counsel the measure; my aunt almost lays her injunctions to tho same effect, and my children entreat compliance. You have met General Bonaparte at my house. He it is who would supply a place to the orphans of Alexander Beauharnais, and a husband to his widow. I admire- the General's courage, the extent of his information, for, on all sub jects he talks equally well, and the quickuess of his judgment, which enables him to seize the th oughts of others before they are ex pressed. But I confess I shrink from despotism he seems desirous of the exercising over all who approach him. His searching glance has something singular and inexplica ble, which imposes even upon our directors ; judge if it may not intimidate a woman. "Barras gives the assurance that if I mar ry the General, he will secure his appoint ment to the commaRd of the army of Italy. Yesterday, Bonaparte speaking of this favor, said to i :e. 'thick they then, that I have need of their protection io arrive at power ? Egregious mistake. They will be but too happy, one day, should I condescend to grant them mine ' - "What think you of this self-confidence ? Is it not a proof of excess of vanity ? A gen eral of brigade protects the heads of govern ment ! That truly is an event highly prob able ! I know not how it is, but sometimes this waywardness gains upon me to such a degree, that I almost believe possible what- may take into his And with his imagination ever tins singular man head to attempt. who can calculate what he will not under take 5" Though the psssion with which Josephine inspired Napoleon was ardent and impetuou? ! in the highest degree, it interfered not in the ; least with his plans of towering ambition. , During the day he was vigorously employed in his professional duties and persevering study. But each evening found him at tbr j mansion of Josephine, wh re he met, and ! dazzled by the commanding genius and his brilliflut converpational powers, the most dis tinguished and thc most influential men of the .nctropolis. In these social entertain ments, Josephine testified that Napoleon p06 Fessed unlimited powers of fascination, when ever he saw fit to employ thcra. His acquain tance and his influence was thus extended among those who would be most available in the ; furtherance of his plans. ' On the Gth of March, 170G, Napoleon and Josephine Were married. Napoleon being then twenty-six years cf age. It was a union of Einccrc af fection on both sides. It cannot be doubted, that next to ambition, Josephine was to Na poleon tho dearest object of his admiration and homage. Marriage had then ceased to be regarded in infidel France as a religious rite. It was a mere partnership, which any persons could form or dissolve at pleasure The revolutionary tribunals had closed thc churches, banished the clergy and dethroned God. Tho parties contemplating marriage simply recorded their intention in the state register of Paris, with two or three friends to sign the record as witnesses. By this sim ple ceramony Napoleon was united to Jose phine. But neither of the parties approved of this mercantile aspect of a transaction so sacred. , They were both, in natural dispo sition, serious, thoughtful, and prone to look to the guidance of a power higher than that of man. Surrounded by infidelity, and by that vice which public infidelity is invariably accompanied, they both instinctively rever enced all that is grand and imposing in the revelations of Christianity. When Napoleon was crowned Emperor, he was privately married again by Cardinal Fesche, in accordance with the forms cf the church which the Emperor had re-established. "Josephine," said Napoleon, was truly a most lovely woman; refined, affable and charming. She was the goddess of the toil et. All the fashions originated with her. Everything she put on appeared elegant, She was so kind, so humane she was the most graceful lady, and the best woman in France. I never saw her act inelegantly during the whole time wo lived together. She possessed a perfect knowledge of the dif ferent shades of my character, and evinced the most exquisite tact to turn this knowledge to the best account. For example, she never solicited any favor for Eugene, or thanked me for any that I conferred upon him She never showed any additional complaisance or assiduity when he was receiving from me thc greatest honors. . Her .grand aim was to as sume that all this was my affair, that Eugene was our son, not hers. Doubtless she enter tained the idea that I would adopt Eugene as my successor Again, he said of Josephine, "we lived together like honest citizens in our mutual relations, and always retired together till 1805, a period in which political everts obli ged me to change my habits, and to add tho labors of the night to those of the day. This regularity 13 the best guaranty for a good es tablishment. It insures thc respectability of the wife, the independence of the husband, aud maintains intimacy of feelings and good morals. If this is not the case, the smallest circumstances make people forget each other, A son by Josephine would have rendered mo happy, and would have cecured the reijra of my dynasty. Tne French would "have lovpd him very much, better than they could love the son of Maria Louisa; and I never would have put my foot on that abyt.8 covered with flower3, which was my ruin. Let no one after this rely upon the wisdom of human combinations! Let no one venture to pro nounce, before its close, upon tho happiness or misery of life. My Josephine had the in stinct of the future when she became terriSed at her own ttcriHty. She well V.ncw that a marriage is only real when there is aa off spring; and in proportion as fortune smiled lier and anxiety increased. I was the object of her deepest attachment. If I went into my carriage at midnight, for a long journey, there, to my surprise, I found her, seated before aie, and awaiting my arrival. If 1 attempted to dissuade her from accompanying me, she had so many good and affectionate reasons to urge, that it was always necessary to. yield. In a word, she always proved to me a happy and affectionate wife, and I have preserved the tenderest recolections of her. "Political motives induced me to divorce Josephine, whom I most tenderly loved - She, poor, woman, fortunately for herself, died in time to prevent her from witnessing the last of my misfortunes. After her forci ble separation from me, she avowed, in most feeling terms, her ardent desire to share with me my exile, and extolled, with many tears, both myself and my conduct to her. The English have represented me as a monster of cruelty. Is thi3 thc result cf .tho conduct of a merciless, unfeeling tyrant? A man is known by his treatment of his wife, of his family, and of thoss under him." Just before his marriage, Napoleon receiv ed the appointment, to him aiost gratifying, of Commander-in-chief of the army cf italy. His predecessor had been displaced in con sequence of excessive intemperance. Napo leon was but twenty-six years old when pla ced in this responsible post. You ere rath er young," said oe of the Directors, "to assume responsibilities so weighty, 8tid to take the command over veteran generals " "In one year," Napoleon replied, "I shall be either old or dead " "We can place yoa in the company of men alone," said Carnot, "for the troops are destitute of everything, and we can furnish you with no money to provide supplies. "Give me ouly men enough," Napoleon replied, "and I ask for nothing more I will be ausewrable for thc result." A few days after Napoleon's marriage, he left his bride in Paris, and set out for Nice, the head quarters of the army of Italy. He passed through 3Iarseilles, that he might pay a slort visit to his mother, whom he ever cherished with the utmost tenderness, and on the 27 ih of March, arrived at the cold and ! cheerless camps where the dejected troops cf ' I ranee wore enduring every hard&eip. lhe were surrounded by numerous foes, who bad driven them from the fertile plains of Italy nto the barren and dreary fastucrses of thc Alps.' -The Ausrkn armies, quartered iu of the allies wera welco'med in every city of France which they entered, with tears of gratitude from the eyes of those who longed for the restoration of the monarchy." It was a conflict between the spirit of republioauism on the one side, and of monarchical and ec clesiastical dominion upon the other England with her invincible fleet, was hov ering around the coasts of the republic, as sailing every exposed point, landing troops npon the French territory, and arming aad inspiring the loyalists to civil war. Austria bad marched an army of nearly two hundred thousand men upon the banks of the Rhine, to attack France upon the north. She had called in requisition all her Italian possessions, aud, iu alliance with the British navy, and thc armies of the king cf Sardinia, and the fanatic legions of Naples and Sicily,' had gathered eighty thousand men upon the Al pine frontier This host was under the com mand of experienced generals, and was abun dantly provided with all the munitions of war. These were thc invading foes whom Napoleon was to encounter iu the fields of blood. It was purely a war of self-defence on the part of the French people. They were contend ing against the bullets and bayonets of the the armio3 of monarchical Europe, assailing them at every poiut. The allied kiags felt that they also were engaged in a war of self defence that they were struggling against pihicijjhs which threatened to undermiuc their thrones. Strange as the declaration to some may appear, it is extremely difScult for a candid and impartial man severely to cen sure cither side p. is norstrage, contempla ting frail human rature as it is, that the mon archs of Europe, born to a kingly inheritance, should have made every exertion to retain their thrones, and to secure their kingdoms from the invasion of republican principles. It is not straoge that rcpublicanized France, having burst the chains of an intolerrble des potism, should have resolved to brave all the horrors of the most desperate war, rather than surrender the right of choosing its own form of government. The Utdted States were protected by a similar onset, on the put of allied Europr only by the wide Lamer of the ocean. Aud had the combined armies of monarchical Europe crossed that barrier, and invaded onr shorts, to compel us to re place George III. upon bis American throne, we fchould have blest the Napoleon emerging from cur mi 1st, who, contending for the lib erties of his country, had driven thro back into thc sea. good strong man. and offered, each as.

But here let us pause for a moment to con sider the cause of the war, and the motives which animated the contending armies France, in the exercise cf a right which few ia America will question, bad, in imita tion of the United Statos, and incited by their example, renounced the monarchial form of government, and established a republic. For centuries uncounted, voluptuous kinigs and licentious nobles had trampled the oppres sed millions into the dust. But now, these millions had risen in their majesty, and dri ving the king from his throne and thc nobles from their wide domains, had taken their owu interests into their own hands. They were inexperienced and uuenlightencd iu the sci ence cf government, and they made many and lamentable mistakes. Thev were terrified in view of the powerful combination of all j the monarchs and nobles of Europe, to over- j wuelrn them witii invading crimes, and, in their paroxysms of fear, when destruction seemed to be coming like an avalanche upon them, they perpetrated many deeds of atro cious cruelty. They simply claimed the right of self government, and when nssailed, fill upon their assailants with blind and merciless fury The kings of Europe contemplated this por tentious change with inexpressible alarm In consternation they witnessed the uprising of the masses in France, and saw one cf their brother l monarchs dragged from his palace and beheaded upon tire guillotine. The suc cessful establishment of thc French Republic would, very probably, have driven every King in Europe from his throne. England was agi tated throughout all her countries. From the mud cabins of Ireland, from thc dark and miry mines, from the thronged streets of the city, and the crowded workshops, all over the kingdom there was a clamorous cry asceuuing for liberty and equality.

But thev have nc:lo little calculation for the cool sagacity and deliberate statesmanship of the President.

There was no alternative, for these monarchs, but to crush this new power, or to perish before it. There can be no monarchists whose s3-mpa-thies will not bear high with the allied kings in the fearful conflict which ensued. There can be no rcpublicanwho will not pray that "God snsed the carries of France." Both parties believed they were fighting in self-defence. The kings were attacked by princi ples triumphant in France, which were under mining their thrones. The French were at tacked by bayonets and batteries by ccmr bined armies invading their territories, bom barding their cities, and endeavoring, by force of arms, to compel'a proud nation cf thirty millions of inhabitants, to reinstate, at for eign diction, tho rejected Bourbons upon the. throne. The allies called upon all loyalists scattered over France, to grasp their arms, to rally beneith. the tanner of friends coming to their rescue, and to imbrue their country ia the blood of a civil war. The French; in trumpet tones, summoned the people of all lands to hail the tri-colored flag, as the har binger cf their deliverance from the servitude of ages. From every city in Europe, which Napoleon approached with bis conquering ar mies, the loyalists fled, while the republicans welcomed hira with an adulation amouuting lury, all suddenly removed, while its invete rate prejudices and sectional animosities still remained in full vigor. Upon these they readily seized, and marshalling their forces, facetiously resisted every effort for its adjust ment. But the determined policy of the Pres ident' at length' triumphed, and has removed perha forever this agitating nub dangerous question from our national politics. The Mormon difficulty was next embraced as thc pointof attack upon the Administration, but that too promises to be peacefully and honorably adjusted, illustrating another signal triumph to the wise policy of the President But on this subject we. cannct do better than adopt the following remarks from the Wash ington States of Saturday last : "The proclamation of tho President, which we published yesterday, must have pioduced j z. large portion of the effect illustrated by Gov. Cumming's despatch. Tne proclamation was a singularly clear, calm, high-toued, and dis passionate document. At once a succinct memoir of Mormon treason, and a firm ex pression of the condign punishment by which it would be visited, the proclamation left the Mormons nothing to hope from their persis tence in evil, and everything to expect from submion to the power of the Union, "The President shook tie Mormon leaders out of the delusion thtf their attempt to con strue our indignation into a foray against their religion was the chief inspiration for action. He showed them that, with the re ligion, now matter hew stupidly disgusting, the Constitution and the tews have nothing whatever to do. He disclaimed any desire to come between a human b'ing and his God; and confined himself, as Chief Magistrate of the Republic, to see that the beauty of its institutions arc not sullied by the perpetra tion of oufrage," robbery, and murder by the people of any one locality, however isolated, on the citizens of any other. "Reminding the .
