' Au net of graceful liomngo 1ms recently ,] been paid to tlio memory of Catherine of ^ Wurtemborg, tlio second wife of Prince Jc- -u route Bonaparte, and tlio mother of Nape- j, leon, who lias of late attracted so innclt attentior in the European world. Tlio heart n of the ex Queen of Westphalia, enclosed in nn urn, has been deposited in the tomb of r' the Emperor Napoleon, at tho Invalided h ^ i-?, as has been well observed in tho Times, " "the heart of a noblo woman, of one whom a no entreaties of her father, tho King Wur ,j tent berg, could induce to abandon her litis M band iu bis days of adversity, arid who n clung to him in evil and good report to the xv hour of her death." The circumstances of | Iter life are so full of deep and touching in- ,, tercet, that wo trust our readers will not un willingly follow us in some of the passages ., of her changeful and eventful career. ' At lite coinmoncemeut of the preseut a century, tho ancient palace at Stuttgart g was ilie pcaeetul and happy abode of llie w ducal family of Wurlemberg, whose posi- j, lion, although Liyli enough tosecuie for thorn ft, the homage and respect w bicli aro due to the [, princely houses of Europe, yet seemed not j, lofty enough to expose them to the politi- g, cal dangers so often entailed on the moie et elevated and ambitious potentates of Chris j? tcudoin. The great social revolution, howover, which had shaken continental Europe io its vc/y foundations, came to disturb lire tranquil happiness of the Wurlomberg family. Najxdeon the Great, now sealed j ; firmly upon the throne of France, resolved | that a crowu should also encircle each of ^ his brothers' brows. The throne of Hoi- | laud had been bestowed upon Lucien Bona- I parte; Joseph was the King of Spain; ami jj, a new kingdom?that of Westphalia?was j about to bo formed for Jeroiuo. There was, however, one 6ericms obstacle in the way of this latter arrangement: Jo- j j romo bad, in defiance of his brother's wish es, wedded himself to an American lady, ,, who bad recently presented him with a son. Napoleon was seriously displeased at this union, and refused to acknowledge it? j.t validity. Jerome, waruily attached to his ' wife, came over to Europe, and, throwing himself at the Empcior's feet, besought his ^ pardon, and earnestly entreated him to receive his spouse as n member of the Impe* rial family. This request was made at an untoward moment; for Jerome's interview with the Emperor took place at Milan in ^ 1805, just after he had grasped the iron w crow n of the ancient Kings of Lombardy, j( bearing this proud yet beautiful device: , Doi me I.i ?lu d?; cn U.iai chc la fovea. ;iv It was at this proud moment of bis life ,^ that Jeiouiu asked him to receive a plebci an sister from Republican America. The request was indignantly refused. Jerome j/j shed tears of passionate alTection as he em | braced his wife's portiait, and swore never {t, to give her up for any paltry consideru 'w, tion of earthly grandeur, lie, however, ^ lacked tlie firmness aud resolution by which j the Bonaparte family were so eminently characterized; mid, when the temptation of |u, a kingdom, with its power and its pomps, was held out to his dazzled vision, ho C(^ gradually became less vehement in his do- ^ rials, aud finally yielded to the will of his imperious brother. His wife was abandonetl, his oflapringdhowued. and Jerome stood alone, a weak ami guilty man, ready to j0 sacrifice honor, affection, and duty, upon me tmso altar of earthly ambition. And now, who in to bo iiis partner upon tlio newiy eiccted throne o( Westphalia? |t] Napoleon turned his glance toward Wur temberg, which liad recently been raised to | j( the dignity of u kingdom, and whose sove- ^ reign whs now degraded into a satellite of ju( Imperial France. The Princess Koyal had j just completed her twentieth year. Fair in tf(( person, Htid ainiablo in disposition, this youthful Princess possessed, nevertheless, " tar more firmness than her royal parent, j|t> and she resolutely expressed her aversion l() tO the proposed alliance, regarding Napo * "Icon as the direst fee of her native GermaIfy; white at tlio same time she fell her t maiden dignity deeply offended at the thought of being espoused to a man who, Ml in her estimation, was already married to " ' another. Vain, however, were all her re- J" monstrances. Sho was compel led to bow beneath the iron will of Napoleon tlio Great, with whom her father was at this XV1 timo closely allied, and before many w< inynths bad elapsed she found herself wedo*J by proxy to Jerome, King of West- esc pi:alia, and bad entered the confines of dri France as the acknowledged sister of its aw Impei ial ruler. , an She was obliged,in compliance with courP In etiquette, to part on the frontiers with all her an Get man attendants, and to advance alone in ce? a foreign country, surrounded indeed by a on brilliant retinue, but with no familiar I.tee fee to ineel her saddened gaze; no sweet sound in of homo voices to soothe tl.e latter feelings the of her heart. Willi the characteristic firmness of her disposition, however, she gath- Pi red all her courage to nuot the trying cir- tos m uintyuieee of her lot, nud.Meroed resole* hit i<> toll-trdo glacco should betray th iddeu conflict of her heart. A* sUo drev iear to Paris, the whole Current of her be ng seemed to be changed; the usual kind i tress of hei manner became petrified int proud and ftigid bearing; and while sh if as studiously courteous to her attendant! ier evident constraint gave a disagreeabl xprcssiott to her countenance. it was cu the iiOtli of August, ISO?, thai t an early hour of the day, she found her elf almost in sight of Paris; but it beiiij Napoleon's pleasure that she should dot eu cr his eapilal until evening, she was con lucted by his order to ltaiucy?a charm ng country residence, once the abode c oyalty, but now the possession of Junoi Juc d'Abrantes, w hose wife was command id to receive the Princess with all the hon r due to her elevated rank. The dutches eeeived h r cn demi toilette de cour on th iriixl peristyle of the chateau, and conducl d her to her own apartments, where a rc >ast of tire most <^o>ilv description was pre tared for Iter refreshment.

At one monten'. he i?aturos were sutfused with tlio deepest ciitn oit, and at airotber they became livid will deadly pallor. The afternoon was lilted up with a driv It rough the forest of liottdy, ditiitrg whicl lie Princess still exerted herself to appea ileased with the efforts made for her annuo nent. Next canto lite grand affair of he oilet, which seemed to Madame d'Abrati 8* a lu titer of the utmost importance a liia critical moment of the lh incess's life lie anxiously awaited hor appearance ii 10 saloon before dinner.

Around hoi eck hung two lows of pearls, fioni whenct as suspended a miiiiaturo of Jerdme, sc noisily set, that it swung about at eacl lOVCinenl ?<f liie wearer. In spito of an antique costume, tho ap earauce of tho l'i incest was pleasing ant [tractive.

Before dinner wna nnnfinni>u,l itation became ho evident to her hosier iat (ho latter ventured to inquire whethei ight had occuicd to diHlurh her roya igliness. Catherine, in reply, expresses lt wish to bo informed a few moments be ro Jerome's nnival, so that tdio might bt repared to meet him. This was promised id while the Princess thanked Madam* Abrantes for her kind readiness to oblige Br, "the burning blu.dies on hor cheek ro ;nled uo pleasing emotion, but the pas 011 ale pain of an indignant woman': iart." ' 'I ho dinner," Madame d'Abrantes writes vas dull, and even mournful. The Prin ss was restless and agitated. Having ,kod her twice which she would prefer king coffee and ice in the park, or in the rand saloon, she seemed suddenly to tec leel herself, and looking at mo as if she arcely understood the purport of my ques an, replied ? " 'Just as you please.' "We quitted the table at half past six, id, feeling anxious to satisfy the Princes*'* ishes, I went to inquiie whether there as any symptom of Jerome's approach, ist at this moment a cloud of dust became siblo on the road from Paris, and several rringes were seen to enter the poplar en tie. 1 hastened to inform the Princes* at in a few minutes tho 1'iinco would ako his appearance.
