The Story ?f H?dame Jerome Bona? parte from Her own Ups. -Tile fellowing interesting chapter of histori? cal gossip is written from Baltimore by a cor? respondent of the Kew York Standard : "Oh ! wouldn't it be glori?os to have all Eu? rope bowing down to one's shrine," said the bright and beautiful Elizabeth: Patters on, al most seventy years ago,. She had just heard from a lady friend that the yoong Frenchman, Jerome Bonaparte, had arrived in Baltimore. Tho Pattersons . were Wea staying at their country seat, a few miles only from thr city, ' we been one of the most deligutixu j tobe found in Maryland.. . . will come to town1 in a day or two, I sup?ose, and be Introduced," continued her "Indeed I shall,'' replied the fair malden, . ?and take his heart by storm, too, and then" Thebeoutifui Betsy could go no further. Until an Intuition keener than her wit and more subtle than her ?a?cluationa, Bhe Bair her? self standing before the nuptial altar with the handsome and titled Frenchman, felt his arm around her, and heard lie words, "With this ring?thee wed." '*.' ThW story from the lips of the aged Woman who so man; years ago acted the principal part in this strange arid cruel drams, assumes a weird and almost tragic importance. Under le? public and notorious circumstan ces mach . probably be attributed to the garrulity of age; but her friends, the veterans ofBaltlmore. substantiate most of the Incidents-related, by her. Her own admissions prove that she de? termined to captivate tills Bonaparte. Indeed, Napoleon( rdoreerf; from the hattie.ol Monte Noste to AUB teri! tx, could have displayed no more strength of purpose, no more determin? ed, ambition, than did this self-conscious and beautiful nmhtenln heT siege at the princely heart. . : ?? -I?"? f r > Madame Bonaparte is now eighty-four year? of age, and retains to a most remarkable de ?t^tne charms of youth. She ls a trifle less than five feet in height, symmetrically formed, ..and np to this moment proud and careful of hW beau ty. Her complexion, naturally fair, IMMD preserved, and wrinkle?, which spoil the faces- pf mos t persons of advanced age, are scarcely to be seen. The only signs of. mental combat ar? two' sharp lines on each side of her well-formed and still frequently expres? sive month, Bhowing more plainly than bleached, .(locks andi falling strength the fight this ^maskable woman has- waged with her " word love does not seem to be? la' Strange woman's, vocabulary. tabJUon.had most lo.do with berniuon, and its dlsRapointment 'was the greatest causera her sorrow. In speaking of her husband she will often, stop to exclaim, "Uh I. was so proud ot him; Ohl.how handsome he was!" but never "How f lc* ed him.'! Her . step ls qui ok and elastic,' ana'.has that telling pat-yorrr-fooUlQwn click, which, even be? t?re ntr actual presence is-felt, impresses 1 ' ono with a strange and really uncomfortable Idea of her force of character. ' This galt seems 1 to be -wholly nato ral, al: hough it ls bard to tell ^hera,-mtura commences and art leaves off with'Ods w^dfilful woman. Her face, which lsdw?^jeflly.Gr.eclanja\^fi8&y? ^ mostvarier bJclace poaslbl? to imagine. In1*^$i]&PF conyereatlon and her audience, Ave minutes ' vim BufCc-i every shade of feeUng ever estferiencoi by woman, save th? hSQC tlonate, and that never, ander any circum? stance, appears. A stranger, with a fair knowl? edge of her history, must, from the great Birnt? hon; of the cases, compare Madame Bonaparte with the heart-broken Josephine, so cruelly pot away by Napoleon. Onlyin historical re? semblance^ there tb?s?ghte^ analogy. Jose? phine "wai a pliant, 's^lfSacrificing, Intensely ?I?QtrOna? and devoted woman, who cared for naught else In the world but the love of herlord. His victories were dear to her, because, fully tii?t?ermndmg'his executive and warlike na-, tore, she knew that strife was a necessity, and; accepted ,it as such, but with many misgivings and neartaclfts. Madame Bonaparte, on the contrary, would have led Jerome to combat and rejoiced in tia necessity of war. Her lam entaUoas over a defeat would have been terri? ble In the extreme, but a victory with Jerome brerught home to her wounded or dead would have been "a Joy unspeakable and full -.of glory"-provided she were to succeed him tit power and the respect of the people. Napo? leon'wounded anti dying was constantly pres? ent.witbtthe-loving Josephine. Aa she so sweetly 'said in one of her letters, "0, my lord, could I but have yon in my arms' one sin? gle moment, long enough to know that you were ngt.hurir-notsiuTeruiig-not wounded oh, wrerched'woTd-not dead*-I could breathe again; bat now all is darkness " lt is not pos . ernie th at J nc h.- a sentiment afr thia could ever ' have enured the.bead of Elizabeth Patterson. No one would, for a moment, doubt her con? stancy; but Elizabeth, of Baltimore; Is totally deficient la that inexplicable, all-absorbing, tenderness that made up the disposition of toe 1 ' wronged Jos?phine. Her suffering bas of a ! necessity ?beeu very mach less than that-espe rienoedhby the woman in whose lite muchap? pears so similar. "Is lt true, Madame Bonaparte, that you be? gan the study of French when you heard that Jerome was coming to Baltimore f "It ls trh?j"?sb? replied ; "was there, any? thing wroog:abooi thati?.. I reckon not,".with a funny little toss ol her head. "I waa a young, proq'd, wealthy, and beantiful American girt" with-aa accent as beautiful, which, from the lips of a younger. or. another woman, would ha> e been to' the last degree ridiculous and disgusting, but, strangely, enough, from her, -teemed* em' a en ? y proper. f J "I hilt myself on an equality with any prin? cess of Ibo rt aim, and had-aense enough to know that ignorance alone could make me of less consequence to him. So I studied French, and When ne arrived was able to do what no lady in Baltimore could-talk fluently with him la his own-native tongue-and that waa a vic? tory." Here the bright, gray eyes sparkled and scintillated, and for a moment seemed looking back: to toe time Bhe surprised the royal broth er with, j* welcome to Baltimore in the lan? guage he loved most; then, with a click In her voice, which was almost metallic she said: "And 1 suppose yon have heard, too, that I determtned'npon the conquest of my husband when I flrst heard of his arrival in New York with thc French frigate ?" .Kotquite so certain about the propriety of aa affirmative reply, I wisely temporized, and with an "Oh ! I don't know," an "ah I" and an "indeed !" managed td appear profoundly ignorant of such scandal. Again came tbat harsh vocal click, with "Well, what if I did? That was no moro than half .the girls of the first families decided to do. I' succeeded-that was all 1 Ob, suc? cess makes all the difference in the world difference, too, In a moral point of view. Let a mon or woman foll ia anything they under? take, and they havo no principle-are thieves everything you ore pleased to call them. But let them succeed ia the same cause, and their praises are sounded by half the world." Oh, how desirous 1 was of asking whether this step had ever been regretted; but the flashing eye and decided manner of the old lady warned all intruders from the coast of sentiment.. With this strange woman the ad? mission of a regret would be a moral Impossi sibilityj : "You were flrst introduced to your husband at the < races, I understand ?" was the next query. -**And wearing a white wig?" "Yes," she replied, "wigs were in vogue then. On that occasion we were simply intro? duced: hut I know b; bis manner that he wojuid not bc satisfied until we were better ac? quainted,. ' The next day we met at a dinner party given by-Gen?ral Smith, and I wore my own hair. Jerome was very enthusiastic about Its shade and abundance, and made, me prom? ise that I would' never wear a wig again until there waa a necessity for it." "Yon most nave been very beautiful, Mad? ame Bonaparte r , - ? Tee," ?ne answered. It ls no use at my agento, affect prudery or undue modesty. You seo nothing how but the ashes ot the rose. Still, there ls one consolation left mo-the rose was so fragrant that the ruin can never be disgusting. My height and proportions were exactly those of the Venus de Medici." old lady spoke, she carelessly threw b sleeve or her dress, display!ng a w; arm which any modern belle might doned for envying. I drew near ant 1 n ed It Could lt be possible that the c such an exquisitely-moulded arm ai couldbeelghty-four years old ? "How have you preserved yourself s and beautiful." "By remembering that a thing of b ajoy forever lithe possessor only hat to make it so. I have endeavored to li Jewel bright and the casket well That's about all one can do with the i of anything.'' '?_ ' Her expressions are, for the most r tremely quaint and original, and sh tires talking of herself. When spea persons she does' not like, or suspec tempts to Injure her, her sarcasm ls and polished as an Alexandrine swor has carried this acerbity to such an With many of - her friends In Baltlmo fearful of exposing themselves to her tongue-lashings, they no longer visit ht Madame Bonaparte's account of be rlage, which she oas probably describe) ands of times' to her Intimate friends, ii fresh and piquant at this late day as Sears ago, "when life and love were i he was married to J?r?me, Decenal 19r?.

Upon ai at Lisbon they found the .port closed a them, as well as eve rv other oort under 1 authority. .When asked how she felt wi discovered the feeling entertained for Napoleon, and what her ideas' were ii : enos to Jerome's return, she said : I ' "I hoped to conquer at last, althougl not think Jerome would have much inf with his brother. Any Bonaparte again Bonaparte would never be able to accoi much. I did expect him to return, hoy If only for a short time." . "That must have been veri hard," I re ed, as a vision of the deserted wife-so .and so fair-expecting in a few weeks ?come a mother, passed before, mc in breaking review. .' "And what a hard-hearted wretch N'ai was.

Oh, how my ami ?has been crushed.'' "'.;'' .:. This ls the'whole burden of her song. N in her most excited moments, does she le ,a single word of. her love. On' July 7,18( nffiEmrflL . near London, Madame . I jparte gave birth; to a son, called by Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. Here, a pride takes precedence of love. For a years;: she resided in Europe, rece! .from the Emperor-an annuity of ? Ol" her life in Europe she seems disposi Say very little. Her friends say that she in great retirement, for the purpose of sa all chat she possibly could from this allow Sbr her son's tutu re. She took .great \ vith his education, returning to B'altimoi order to have him prepared for college. Graduated from Harvard in 1826, studied ut never practiced. He was said by a!1. 6had seen the Bonapartes to very closely rei Ie !hte uncle Napoleon. "He had," said ??th?f, "the exacf characteristics ol the alean people. His features were perfectly ular, his eyes dark and peculiarly NapoleG and the same square figure . ol the Emper i Jerome married, when quite young, a ] Williams, of Ruxbury, Mass., a most ex lent young lady of wealthy and aristo? family, waco. Madame Bonaparte found union was inevitable, her disappointment Chagrin "knew no bounds.' In speaking ol t Bhe said: "Qb, that was another cine! blow to my ? bWon, and came very near ruining evi thing. To think of a Bonaparte mam i ng daughter o?:& common shopkeeper, when could have wedded a princess." 'J Hofcwlthatandlng the apparent lucidity I Madame !**?8tBB>totelfeot, one thing ia < tain, she mWliave'dl?rw^^^py she never would have given utte/T3-? W * Contradictory sentiments. ! "Your son s wife was not as'hanUsome oi accomplished asy'Qurseli-not so wellfittec be the wife of a man of rank !*? I suggest endeavoring to draw out 6ome excuse for i Btrange remark, or some acknowledgrnenl her inconsistency. Not another word on tl subject would she vouchsafe. The shrewd lady saw the point, and in a twinkling chang the conversation. j "Did you ever see your husband utter ye separation at Lisbon ?" ; "Yon know of course, if you know anythi about history" (this with a Utile unnecessc acerbity,) "that Jerome was compelled, 3 compelled-you needn't sit there shaking ye head-to yield to tho will of the Emperor, a marry the Princess Fredina Catherine of We ?mburg," ! ..Yes. Madame," with considerable htimtll 1 "Well, after Napoleon's banishment I visit Europe, and one day met Jerome, with t Princess on his arm, walking in the gallery tho Pitt! Palaco at Florence. Our eyes m I did not speak or move Lifting one hand his head excitedly, he exclaimed : 'My Go Madame Patterson !' and walked quiet away." "For heaven's sake, Madame, how did y feel F I almost gasped. "Oh," she replied, "the next day ? dress myself Just as becomingly as I knew how, ai went to the gallery, hoping that he won come again; but he did not. I never saw hi afterward." 1 The old lady's voice was as firm a? ev when reviewing what to most women won have 'been a heart-breaking episode. Not single tear was visible in the bright and bea tlful gray eye. Her own words express i the feeling she experienced on that occasion '.I dressed myself as becomingly as I kne how," Ac. I What living woman under such cruel ci cumstances would even baye thought of toil? accessories ? ! The relations of Jerome with the Empen were alraded to. i "Jerome," she said, "did not like tho En neror. He was afraid of him. NO Bonapart liked to. be governed, and the will of the En peror governed every one absolutely. Oh ! li was. such .a great man," . ? 'Did you Tore Jerome?" ! "I came to have a great attachment fe him. . Our married life was very pleasani We en loy ed ourselves a great deal. He ti spected me and-1 respected him. When h left me lt was to plead with his brother. H said Tie would return, and I expected him i England " '.Did you ever meet Josephine ?" I said. "I never met Josephine, although she sen me kind messages. I never, liked her. Sh should never nave left-the throne. Shed li not make a fight and only made a fool of her self. Jerome did not know much of her, am she waa never in favor with any of the Bona partes. 1 presume they were jealous of her. I spoke of the present Emperor, but she hat never met him. and did not know him. He: grandsons were high in favor, and she under stood he was very lond ol' them. She had ni relations with Joseph Bonaparte when he re sided in this country. Madame Bonaparte is very proud ofhei grandchildren, Jerome Napoleon, born in 1832. now in the French army, whom she confident ly beUeves will yet be Emperor of the French, and Charles Joseph, born in 1852. Jerome, home on a iurlougb to visit hi? father In lils last illness, met his brother and grandmother at the bedside. Tbe Madame, who is very rich, and very generous to hei own, handed Charles Joseph a check for 1200C which be thankfully accepted. Then", turning to Jerome, she said archly: UI suppose you are out at elbows, too ?" "Yes, grandmamma," he answered, "you may be certain of that." The old lady then passed another two thous? and to thc cider, and they went their way re? joicing. It has been currently reported that Madame Bonaparte's father opposed her union with Je? rome, and took her to Virginia in order to break up tho intimacy. This tho Madamo earnestly denies, and asserts that he was quite as delighted with the prospect bf the match as she was herself, and that it was not until he found she could not be recognized as the legal wife of Jerome that he doveloped any symp? toms ot dissatisfaction, lt is quite probable that the Madame's conduct has been the re? verse of amiable, for there has always been trouble in the family. Mr. Patterson finally cut his daughter off from her inheritance, {simply deeding her tho house in Lovely lane, near South street. ';Thist was done to mortify me," said the Madame,'"just to remind me that my grand? father was a shoemaker-as if I should ever forget it." The animus she betrays when .speakinc" of th's event ls really Incredible to one unacquainted with her strongly arrogant and despotic disposition. She ls keen, and brilliant, and logical, demolishing, without tho aid of established premises, everything to her mind weak or unpopular. She imagines every person that visits her to have, as sheexpresses ft, "some axe to grind" at her expense, and would never allow herself to be interviewed lu any way. She ls busy writing her OWH life, and intends to tell her own story her own way, when she. "gets ready." From 1837 to '41 she spent the greater part Of the summers at Rock? away. There, In company with Campbell and Whyte, members of Congress, end some of the Carrollton family, she was the gayest of the gay; considered by all as the fund from which to draw all that was neeessary for intellectual entertainment. "Did you ever feel, Madame Bonaparte, that there were other men in the world beside Jerome Bonaparte, and that it was foolish to give up your whole life to something of little more account than a dream P I inquired, desiring, above all things, to get at some ex? pression ol feeling. "Staff and nonsense !" was her reply. "Was it nothing, then, tobe the mother ola Bona? parte ? nothing to feel that the recompense would one day come In the establishment of the right ol my own flesh and blood to the throne of France! I trembled to think what kind of men we should have, if all mothers were as sentimental as you would have had me." The question is, how much ls this woman Indebted to the First Napoleon for her educa? tion, and how much to nature ? The grand? sons are on the best of terms with the present Louis Napoleon, and the youngest is said to be a great favorite with the Princess Eugenie. This gives the old lady faith In the Imperial luture of one of her grandchildren at least. She lays great stress on the refusal of the Pope to confirm the order of Napoleon I, declaring the marriage null and void, ind the subse? quent persistence of the Papal Court. '.There are the diamonds given me by ike Emperor," said she, placing in my hands a stomacher of precious stones, more beautiful and costly than any jewels I had ever before handled. "And here is another present," dis? playing a breastpin, lyre-shaped, studded with marvellously expensive diamonds. "Then you were personally acquainted with the First Napoleon-hod probably more than one Interview with him P "Well, the Emperor was very kind and thoughtful of my comfort. I had no title; that was all the trouble." "Did you know much of Josephine, Madame Bonaparte ? and what did you think of her character?" I "A sweet woman," with a little sneer on sweet, "but not dignified enough." She lived a quiet life in Baltimore. She said sometimes visitors intruded upon her. There were two or three others that day. One want? ed an autograph. Of coarse she did not give it to her. How did she know what she wanted with it ? Probably to make some use of lt and gain an advantage over her property. She saw no one but a ie w old personal friends. It seems very strange that a woman of Madame Bonaparte's wealth should occupy simply a suite of rooms In a common boarding house down town. Her rooms are plainly fur? nished, and but for a few articles of bizantino, which* have been collected in her European travels, there is nothing to show that so dis? tinguished a woman occupies them. There is, indeed, such a want of adornment all over the house that the place seems barren and com? fortless. Whether her anticipations In reference to the future of the Bonapartes will be realized is a (juestion of grave doubt, and if so, whether in time to compensate this aged woman for her own loss of power, is graver still; but one thing is certain, whether sho dies to-morrow or ten years from to-morrow, she will depart gracefully and in order, as becomes the wife of a Bonaparte. The determined patter of the little leet as they walked away with thc little body told that story, had words been lacking to confirm lr. COMMERCIAL NEWS.
