.Millie. 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.

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

Princo Loonold himself bad (old tho storv
to Mdllo Cocholot, as an inuocont truth en

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

had become Madamo Charles Pnquln,nlo

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
