RUSSIA.

The telegraph announces the death of the Duke
of Lenehtenberg, which took pleas at St. Petersburg
an the 3th inst.
Maximilian, Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of
Eichstadt, was a Ileaubarnais, grandson of Josephine,
and son of Eugene, who in 189 ti was declared the
adopted son of Napoleon Bonaparte. By his mar-
riage with the Grand Duchess Maria, which took
place in 1839, he became the son-in-law of Nicholas,
Emperor of all the Bassist,. It is related in
tho life of Eugeao that upon the death of
his father he was apprenticed to a joiner and
worked at the bench; his son, we see, was a member
of two imperial families. Eugene, successively
Prince of the Empire and Viceroy of Italy, married
Augusta Amelia, eldest daughter of the King of
B aerie. On the fall of Napoleon he was courteously
received at Paris, and addressed even by the restored
Bourbons as a Prince. In the treaty of I'aris a suit-
able establishment was assigned him, and at the
Congress of Vienna the Emperor Alexander proposed
to make him sovereign of a small principality.
When the return of Napoleon from Elba had thrown
a cloud over his prospects, ho placed himself under
the protection of his father-in-law, front whom he
rcecivtd tho Bavarian principality of Eichstadt,
which his posterity was declared capable of inheriting
in case of failure of the Bavarian line. Eugene died
at Munich on the 21st of January, 1824, in the
forty-fourth year of his age, leasing six children—
two sons and four daughters. The eldest daughter
is the consort of Oscar Bernadotte, King of Sweden;
the second married the Prince of Hohenzollern
Ileichingen ; the third became the wife of the late
1/on Pedro, Emperor of Brazil; and the fourth mar-
ried a Count of Wirtembcrg. Ilia eldest son
espoused in January, 1833, Donna Maria Queen of
Portugal, and died two months later. Maximilian,
the youngest of Eugene's sons, whose death is now
recorded, was born Oct. 2, 1817. Since his marriage
he has resided at the Russian court, receiving as one
of the family of the Czar the style of His Imperial
Highness. Ile was an aide de-camp general of the
Emperor, and a general in the Russian service. The
Duke was a man of considerable cultivation, and a
lover of the natural sciences. The journals of the
Academy of Arts of St. Petersburg, of which body
he was president, contain a variety of papers, de-
scribing the result of chemical analyses conducted by
the Dukc in his private laboratory.
