Cochclet gives us n very distinct iewoftho etato of society In tho capitol in tho years 1HKI-1 l.nnifof tho modo of life in tho watering places. In tho summer of 181.'), Hortenso was ordered to DiepjK) for tho sen-baths, when tho modo of bathing was exactly tho samo resorted to fourteen years afterwards by tho Duchess of Herri. A pavilion wan erected on tho bench, with two apartment, in which tho ox-Queen of Holland undrosaed.clothed herself in n long camlet gown, fitting rather closely to tlio person, and was tlicucnrrieil into tlio water in tho nrms of two stalwart 6ailors. While taking her bath, hundreds of spectators woro on tho boach, raising their nporn-glassos mid telescopes to havo a better viow of tho immersion. In tho year 827, tho Diichoss of Herri followed a sim. ilnr courso to tho letter, so that wo hnvo lit tle doubt that tho thou'nerfect or sub-perfect of Dieppo had studied tho procodont of his predecessor which w found in tho ar chives of his ollieo in .IHl.'l. In tho prosperity of tho Ilouaparto fami ly, Hortonso, notwithstaudihg tho lightness o( her character, exerted herself dcoply for tho unfortunate nnd persecuted, and thus won golden opinions from men of all clas ses. When rovorsea rsamo on tho Kmnoror, tho ox-Queen of Holland found friends and protoctors, if not admirers, In tho Kmpernr Aloxnnder, in Priuco Leopold, (now King of tho lielgians,) mid in other high mid mighty personages, wliobo names It Is not nocossnry to montioii. Mdllo. Cochclet gives us i full, truo mid particular account or tho clrorts of Alexander mid Nossolrodo to procure for Hortenso n dignified position anil subsistence, mid tho means of enjoying that social station which in Prance, any moro thun in ICngland, cannot bo accom plished without money. Tho assiduities of tho Cossack Kinperor savor of moro than tho proceedings of tho jtrcus chevalier, nnd may bo described, Indeed, as tho ardent at tontion,and gallant porsonal admirer. Princo Leopold, too, was curliest und assiduous, but not altogether so rmjnctte lis tho sov ereign In whoso army ho then held n com mission. Tho present King of tho llelgl mis was theii(IHld) hi Kunlan service. In juatillration of Alexander, It ought, however, to bo stated that ho always pro fe:sed souiiiwhat of an osteon for Menu hainols family, for tho Ihiqirets Josephine, and for her sou Ktigene, the latter of whom he had known long previous to this date. With Josephine, llorteuan nid Kiigouo, wo learn from Millie. Coohelit thnt ho sitent many hnppy days mid evenings, not onlynt iMnhnaison, but at tho Chateau of Navarre, where tho ex-IImpreis hnhitunlly refilled after her divorce. Hortenso and Alexander visited tho waters of .Marly together, and it wnsnn this occasion that tlitiy ouiir llmpii. ror of all tho Kusalns narrowly escaped a fatal accident, from tlin skirt of hit coat having caught in tho mncbiiiery of tlsi cel ebrated machine hyitrauliiue which caused tho waters to play, that had so often am used tho sated, worn out, and ituimumthlr (to use tlio word of Madame Mahitoiion,) old ngo of Louis XIV. Josephine was senaihlo of tho kindness nnd civility of Alexander, mid gave him tho original music, in Hortensn's handwriting, of nil tho airs which the ex. Queen had com. poacd, nod among the rest tho air of r taut iittr la Siric, tlio word of which wen. composed by Alexander do I.nborde. Too demeanor of Hnrteiiao towards Alexander wns perfectly dignified mid proper, mid at tho samo time resH'rlful. She gavo tho Kmpernr, who wns solicitous to set to her at tho Congress bf Allied .Sovereigns, fully to understand that alio would not bo a pirty to nny couiplinnces unworthy of tho uamo which she bore, nr of tho nation uhlchhad so elevated tho family to which alio be longed. In his secret soul, Aloxnnder i.iuit havo reipected this proof of Independence mid Hc-lf.rvstKjcl. Wo lentil from tho Ktnperor'a letters to Mdllo. Cochelut a fact that has since transpired through many other sources of tho sovereign contempt which tho Au tocrat entertained for the elder branch of the llourboiis. During (ho years 181(1 and 1817 tho .Minister of Police. Docnzes. who had lieeu an early protege of tho mother of onpcueoii, 1,110 was ncr rrnucr.i Knowing, through his myrmidons, that Millie. Cocho let posacsacd several letters from tho Cinr, in which tho llourboiis wero contemptuous ly spoken of, caused them to bo seized in tho poiseiaiou of a lady to whoso safo cus tody .Mdllo. Cochclet had entrusted them. This unworthy proceeding failed of the cfi'eet contemplated, for .Millie. Cochelet had safely carried out of Franco moro lot tors of the Czar than she had loft within thu kinudom. and sOtno of these alio nub. lishos in her " .Memoirs." Wo havo stated that in tho pal my days of mo empire many royalists owed not only their pardon but their lives to tho Interces sion of Hortcnsc.nmoiiif thorcit. Policnnc: yet at thu hands of this royalist parly shu met with harsh and unkindly treatment. MM 1. I .1.-1 J.. .1 ...I . . i uuiu is ii Komi uuui iii uiu volumes ns 10 Hortensu's children, for whom tho mother entertained a devoted nflection. Mention is mado of Louis Charles, (now tho I'mpo ror Louis Napoleon,) as n porion of a soft, timid mid reserved character, as ono shy nnd silent. Vet, says Mdllo. Cochelet, his mind is penetrating, and full of mrur, and ho is of such suusibility that ho foil ill of tho jaundice when his brother loft him. Hat ing thoa7rirfr, this dear and interesting boy must have greatly chnngud siucn October, 18 15, when ho wns soveu mril n half years old. That ho had, oven at that early age, mi admiration for autocracy, or tho groat professor of autocracy, appears from this that ho gavo tho Kmporor Aloxnnder n ring which was presented to him by his own brother. It is imjiossiblo for any ono who ban ob served tlio career of Leopold of Ilolgium ns n king, to havo any other idoa than that tills princo is n man ofconsumato address, tact and wisdom. Hut, from tlio " Memoirs" of Millie. Cocholot, it appears that, ns a good natured young princo, ho exhibited, in lHlfi, tho hoiiso, tnct an feeling which havo slnco distinguished him In so eminent n degree. That no was thoroughly ban enfant, as woll ns n senslhlo man, appears from this: that when ho was about to marry thu 1'rlncoss Churl otto, Mdllo. Cochelet wrote him n congratulatory letter, reminding him, en handlnant, that thouuh ho was a priuco. about to become tho son-in-law of n mighty monarch, no liau yet, ns a soldier ol tlio Coalition, made war on tho HWOotmcatB of Mndamu Harville, in Champnguo, nnd oat en, when quartered in her houso, n pot of comfttures, which ho found in his bed or sittiugroom. Princo Loonold himself bad (old tho storv to Mdllo Cocholot, as an inuocont truth en bandinnt. It speaks much for his charao tor, and for Mdllo. Cochelot'a npprecation of it.tlmt ho took her rallying in good part at u timo when ho was about to beconio tho son-in-law of tho 1'rlnco Kegout of Hug laud, Mdllo Cochelet continued to reside with Hortenso during her sojourn nlConstaucn, and, Indeed, till sho retired to Arncnborg; mid it was at this period sho occupied her self In preparing her "Memoirs" for tho press. When tlio ox-Queen purchased tho chateau at Aruiiuborg, Millie. Cochelut, who had become Madamo Charles Pnquln,nlo purchased n ;iV a (rrre near to it, called thu Chateau of Handegy. There, or at Wotferg, sho continued to reside till 18.'ir, when sho expired, after n long and linger lug Illness, leaving hor " Memoirs" titilln iahed nt tho end of tho fourth volume. liortemo did tint long survive her. ,Hho died at Virny, nu tho fill) of October, 18117, nt tho house of tho Duchess of Uagusu, in the ii lib year of her ngo. Mdllo. Cochelet knew her ox-Queen well, for sho had lived tho greater portion of her life In Hortensti's society. 'Iliey had been brought iqi together nt tho famous estab lishment of Madamo Corupnu, at St. ('er main, n lady who had educated some of the first women of Franco, and who commen ced life as Irclriec. de Madame fdlcji du Hoi, At this entnhliahmout, Ilouaparto, when Firat Consul, placed his younger sis ter, Caroline, nnd his adopted daughter, Htepliiiile, afterwards (Imiid Duchcs of llaiien.
