THe Moraes OF NAPOLE N-Very bright re collections associate themselves with the entrée of Madame Letitia, the emprees mother, who now came to visit her son for the first time as king he traversed imperial conlms and kingdoms, oly ng the behests of her sons, and the most renown ed and greatest among them had brought all there crowns into his family at the point of his sword, thus exalting it to the first place in astonished blu- rope. At William's hole, then styled Napoleon's kohe, the mather was received by her children, and reposed there a few days, previously to making her prepara- The Rump Parlament was not turned out by volemia entrance into the capital.

She sat in a carriage gilded throughout, built in Paris expressly for this occu- sion, of an antique, noble form, the side pannels of which were entirely composed of panes of plato glass, held together by golden rods Fair pages, dressed in white, and blue, and gold, clustered upon the carriage wherever it was possible to cling. This magnificent equipage, preceded by twelve running footmon, with saves in their hands, was drawn by eight white Lorses, whose snowy manes and tails were interwoven with gold and purple ribbonds, and each was led by a groom of the sta bles, who was also in gela dress. The king, the generals, and ministers, as well as the gardes du corps, accompanied this brilliant train, which, how ever, attracted little attention, for all eyes were turned towards Madan Letitia, who bowed her mild, handsome, mistronly face in salutation to all surrounding her. The impression made by her. mauner has been so often and so fully described, that these feeling lines will suffice for comprehend ing her part in the enthusi in demonstrated on all sides for the reigning family. They who bave had the happiness of behelding that highly distu guished woman, alike remarkable in her fate and in her person, must preserve a recollection of her at once melancholy and ennobling; which can only be extinguished with life. Soon after she entered the palice she appeared at the balcony, beaning on the king's arm. The Troops marched past; then followed a splinula driving room.
