There, is the, same comminglcment G
the half Oriental, half Scandinavian as
pect; the large, open, antelope eye, wit
the full dropping fringe, at once height
ening and mitigating its lustre; til
same small rounded limbssand majesti
presence : and the same pensiveness il
the midst of animation, perhaps arising
from the same cause, the childiehness 0
an otherwise enviable union. -.
This probably is bu. passing sor
row with the Empress !; for the repor
runs that the stag hunt at Slough, OF
Tuesday, was not joined by the Imperia
lady, lest equestrianism, for reasons
known. in all well-regulated families
should be detrimental to tho probabl,
Isprolongation of the line of ssthe new

Hc.-Certainly he. looks. everything
that his impassioned assailant in q Ma
poleon lie Petit I" describes; and notaal
thescircumstances of spIendor surround
ing him, not all the romance of his life
and not all the effect which such coas;d-
erations produce upon the most phleg-
n1atic and 3philosophic of minds could
deprive his countenance of. its indefna-
bic but unmistakable repulsiycness.--
In it is disclosed no one trait of attrac-
tiyeness. - Indeed, the absence of all
trait is the only decided trait about it.
1t is perfectly expressionless, whether
in animation or repose. -.
. His face is blank, or rather blight.
1t may have been capable of conveying
some expression some time, but that
time has gone by, and now it really ex-
presses nothing. The eyes are dead ;
the complexion liFid the mouth, even
when smiling, inanirnate; theimuscles of
the whole face at once rigid and relaxed !;
and the contemplation of the visage al
together leaves a most uncomfortable
impression, no matter what ones predi-
'lections in favor of the man himself, or
however biased by the fascination of the
Immortal deeds of his uncle, by virtue of
whose name tho nephew is what he is.
Is Between the two men there is not the
smallest facial or physical resemblance,
and certainly, as far as exteruals are
concerned, there. is much coloring af
forded by Louis Napoleon to the popu-
lar scandal which assigns his paternity,
not to the King of Holland, but to a
Dutch skipper, with an unpronouncable
name, and of whom Hortense was said
to have become enamored. ~ s.F
sd In the eopfguration of the head there
is some similarity between Napoleon
First and Third, and the sparseness and
quality of the hair fayors the likeness.
But in. the faces themselves, and even
the forehcads, the most acute physiog-
nomist could detect'no trace of identity
of blood between the relatives. u
! The Italian element is altogether
wanting in the present Emperor, who is
much more of the bad French type of
face, what Voltaire called between the
tiger and the monkey, than was the great
Corsican, whose antique beauty, scarcely
less thanshis deathless exploits, univer-
salized his portraits and busts, by rem
deripg their production a labor of pro-
fessional love to the artist as the finest
subject they could be employed upon
There were, however, placards cirou-
lated and proposals made by the "red
refugees for treating the usurper,
tyrant, mussacreer,, and
trampler on the liberties of France, as

The impression; however, is, that Ma
poleon owes his escape from any attempt
upon his life more to Eugene than to
