captains of French vessels from receiv
ing on board the young person Il
whom the citizen Jerome has connec
ted himself, it being his intention tina
she shall by no means como int
France, and his will that should sh,
arrive she be not suffered to land, bu
be sent back Immediately to the Uni
ted States"
Nj. Dacres, in personal letter writ
ten about the same time TO Jerom,
Bonaparte, says to him that the frs
consul had used the following language
IL will receive Jerome, if leaving il
America the young person in question
he shall come hither to associate him
self to my fortune Should he bring
her along with him, she shall not put
foot on the territory OF France.
Jerome Bonapart was badly irighten
ed. He hesitated to return to France
fearing to meet Napoleon in his anger
he delayed his departure from Amor
lea week after week and month aftel
month, vainly hoping that time would
soften his brothers heart. AT last, on
the morning OF March IL, 1905, Jerome
and his wife embarked at Baltimore in
the ship Erin, for Lisbon. In the
meantime there had been published in
the Paris MoniteH OF March 5, 1905
the following official order:
"From and after the 1lth Of the
present month all the civil officers Of
the empire are forbidden to suffer the
transcription on their registers Of the
certificate OF the pretended marriage
which Mr.. Jerome Bonaparte may
have contracted in foreign country,
without the consent Of his mother, and
without the bans thereof being pre-.
viously published in the place OF his
abode"
On April 2 the Erin, with the young
couple ON board, arrived at Lisbon.
Here they at once had proof Of Napo-
Icons despotic power. A French guard
was placed around their vessel, and
Madame jerome was not allowed to
land. A messenger from Napoleon
waited upon her and asked her what
he could do for Mss Patterson. Her
reply was, "Tell your master that
Madame Bonaparte is ambitious and
demands her rights as member Of
the Imperial family"
Soon after arriving at Lisbon jerome
FASTENED to Paris, hoping by person
al interview to win Napoleon over to
a recognition Of the marriage. Napo-
leon, however, refused to see him, and
in reply to letter he wrote, "Your
marriage is null, both in religious
and legal point Of view. | will never
acknowledge it. Write to Miss Pat
terson TO return TO the United States,
and tell her it is not possible to give
things another turn. On condition Of
her going to America / will allow her
a pension during life OF sixty thousand
francs per year, provided she does not
take the name of my family, to which
she has no right, her marriage having
no existence"
In the meantime Madame Bonaparte
finding that she would not be allowed
to land at Lisbon, sailed for Amster-
dam, arriving on May l. Napoleon,
