Though all the B mapartes were great fa vorites with Pius VII, Madame Lastitia, their mother, had a viftble preference. In her apartments he seemed raoftpleafed to meet the family forties, as they were called, be cause to them, except the Bonapartes, none but a few feledl favorites were invited ; a diftinftiou as much wished for and envied as any other court honor. Often, after the Pope had returned to his own rooms, Madame Lastitia Bonaparte was permitted to assist in his private prayers. This lady, whose intrigues and gallantry arc proverbial in Corsica, has, now that (he is eld, as is generally the case, turned de votee, and is surrounded by hypocrites and importers, who under the mask of fanftity deceive and plunder her. Her anti-chambers are always full of priests; ind her closet and bed room arc crowded with relicks, which she collected during her journey to Italy last year. She might, if she chose, establish a . Catholic museum, and turuifh it with a more curious colleftion, in its fart, than any of our other museums contain. Os all the faints in our calendar, there is not one, of any no toriety, who has not supplied her with a fin ger, a toe, or some other part ; of with a piece cfaJhirt, a handkerchief, a sandal, or a winding sheet. Even a bit of a pair of breeches, said to have belonged to St. Ma turing whom many think was a fansculottc, obtain her adoration on certain occasions. As none of her children have yet arrived ac the fame height es faith as herfelf, she ,has, in her will, bequeathed the Pope all relinks, together with eight hundred and seventy. nine prayer, bosks, and four hundred and fotty.fix bibles, either in manufeript, or of diffisrent editions. Her favorite, breviary, ofed only on great folcmnitics, was present- ed to her by Cardinal Maury at Rome, and belonged, as it is (aid, formerly to St. Fran cis, whole commentary, written with his own hatid, fill the margins j though many, who with me adore him as a faint, doubt whether he could either read or write. Nut long ago (he made, as (he tho’t, an exceedingly valuable acqiiifition. A pricft arriveddireft from the holy city of Jerusalem, \ycll recommcndcd*by the inhabitants of the convents there, with whom he pretended to have pa (Tad his youth. After prostrating himfelfbetore the Pope, he waited on Ma dame Laetitia Bonaparte, He told her that he had brought with him from Syria the fa mous relick, the (boulder hone of St. John the Bsptift 5 but that being in want of n*.- ncy for his voyage, he borrowed open if, from a Grecian Bilhop, in Montenegra, two hundred Louis d'ors. This sum with ope hundred Louis d'ors was immedi ately given him; and within three months, for a large sum in addition to those advanced, this precious relick, was in Ma dame Lsetitia'i poffeffiom. Notwithstanding this lady’s care, not to engage in her fsr vice any person of either sex, who cannot produce, not a certificate of c't~ ajifm from the municipality, as was former ly the case, but a certificate of Christianity, and a billet of confcffion, signed by the cu. rate of the parith, fce had often been robbed, and the robbers had made particularly free with the relicks which were fetin gold or di amonds. She accused her daughter, the Princcfs Borghefe, who often rallies the de votion of her mamma, and who is more an amateur of the living than of the dead, of having played her these tricks. The prin cess informed Napoleon ofher mother’s Irfles, as well as of her own innocence, and {■(k;d him to apply to the police to find out the thief, who no doubt was one of the pious rogues who almost devoured their mether ln rne mean time tuc ponce was alert, to difeover the person whom they fufpeded of having stolen the relicks for the diamonds, and not the diamonds for the relicks, Among our falhionablc and new faints, surprising as you nuy think it, Madame de Genlis holds a diftinguilhed place ; and (he too is an amateur , ana celieflor of telicks in propor tion to her means; and with her was found those milled by Madame Laetitia. Being afierd to give up the name of him from whom (he had purchased them, (he mentioned Abbe Saladin, the pricft from Jerusalem. He in his turn was questioned, and by his anfwcrs gave rife to suspicion that he himfclf was the thief. The person of whom he pretended to have bought them was not to be found, nor any of such a defeription remembered to have been seen any where.—On being carried to prison, he claimed the proteftion of Madame Laetitia, and produced a letter, in which this lady had protnifed him a biflhopric either io. F,«UI« Okiq.Jjfllbn, iftr son Napoleon for his liberty ; urging that a pricft, who from Jerusalem had brought with him to Europe such an extraordinary reli k as the (boulder of St. John, could not be cul pable. The Abbe Saladin had been examined by Real; who concluded, with the accent and perfection with which he spoke the French language, that he wasfome French adventu. rer, who had imposed on the credulity and At perdition of Madame Lsctiria ; and there, fore.threatened him the rack if he did not confefs the truth. He continued however in his (lory and was going to be rcleafed, upon an order from the emperor, when a gens-d’ armes recognized him, as a person who eight years before had, under the name of Lanouc, been condemned for theft and forgery to the galley’s; from whtnee he had made his escape. Finding himfelf difeover. cd he avowed every thing. He said he had served in Egypt in the guides of Bonaparte, but he deserted to xh« Turks, and turned, muflelman, but afterwards returned to the 1 bosom of the church at Jerusalem. There he purfuaded the friars that he had been a pricft, and obtained the certificates which introduced him to the pope, and to the em. geror’s mother; from whom he had received twelve thousand livres, 5000/. for part of the jaw-bone of a Whale, which he had fold her for the (houlder bone of a faint. As the police believes the certificates he has produ duced to be also forged, he is detained in pri son, until an answer arrives from ourconful in Syria. Madame Laetitia did not resign, without tears, the relick he had fold her ; and there is rcafon to believe that many other pieces ot her col led! ions worfluped by her as remains of faints, arc equally genuine as this (houlder bone of St. John.
