The New Empress of France.
her american origin.
The New York Commercial, of the 5th
ult. publishes in a communication (from one
who was formerly a resident of Spain,) the
following sketch, which seems to explain
the family origin of the new Empress of
France very satisfactorily. Her history is
no less romantic than that of the Empress
Josephine:
" By to-day's advices from Europe we are
told that the Emperor, Napoleon III, has
espoused a Spanish lady, 'whose grandfather
was British Consul at Malaga, and whose
mothei was an Irish; lady, by the name of
Fitzpatrick also, t;ha1: this new Empress
was in hei own right Countess Teba, aitho'
bearing the name of Mud'lle Montego. This
much by telegraph. Now, the plain Eng-
lish of all this is, ny doubt, as follows:
" A worthy Scotchman, by the name of
William Kirkpatrick, was for sometime the
American Consul at Malaga, and, failing in
business, was succeeded by Geo. W. Barrell
as United States Consul at Malaga. This
was, 1 think under President Monroe's ad-
ministration.
"Mr. Kirkpatriek's eldest daughter Marie,
or 'Mariaquita,' as she was familiarly called
and known b) all Americans there, was a
very fine, dashing lady, and married th«
Count ue feba, a younger brother of
eelebiated Pa la fox

est in the emigration movement, will accom-

;rJVlglit for ia marriage, by industrious and
^-Vdy miners, farmers and shopkeepers.

LINES TO MISS *****
On Receiving the first Bouquettc of Spring-
Accept my thanks, dear lady, pray,
For sending me this sweet bouquette.
Its varied tints I long will cherish,—
And when its hues and fragrance perish,
I'll press it in a favorite book,
That on it I may often look. '
The emblem I reciprocate;
Nor fortune, friends, or adverse fate,
Nor all the falsehoods men can state,—
Nor Argus-like, the deadliest hale,—
Can my affections alienate,
Or give a cause to separate.
March 1st, 1853. Gusty.
The marriage of Louis Napoleon with an
inferior in rank, has caused the newspapers
to look into history for precedents. The N.
York Express says:
Louis XIV married the widow Scarron,
who was afterwards famous as Madame de
Maintenon, who, during the life of the
Queen, entered her service as governess of
the royal Children. Everybody remembers
the story of Catherine I, Empress of Russia,
the illegitimate' daughter ol a Livoniau
peasant, th-i Servant of an officer in the ar-
gues of Museory, afterwards the imperial
consort of Peter the Great, and. in the end,
proclaimed in her own right Catherine the
First of Russia. Henry the Eighth, of Eng-
land, -married Anne Boleyn and Jane Sey-
mour. James the Second, of England, mar-
ried Anne Hyde, daughter of the Earl of
Clarendon, by whom he had two daughters,
who afterwards became Queens off-England
namely, Mary and Anne. Morganatic
martiages, or marriages with the left hand,
have been frequently entered into by vari-
ous sovereigns df Europe. Queen Christi-
na, of Spain,' widow of Ferdinand VII, is
the present Wife of Munoz, a Spanish dig-
nitary, aiid Christian IV, of Denmark, has
recently married a lady in Copenhagen,
who had p.eViumly to her marriage with
'the king1, kept a millinery establishing t in
that city.
iii • ■ ^ °
lantly at the seige ol Zaragossa, and who in
reply to a demand of surrender, declared he
would continue the defence by "war to the
knife.'
"The Pal a fox family embraced numer-
ous titles, and was singularly brave and
noble.
"This husband of Marie Kirkpatrick was
a gallant Soldier, and so cut up by wounds
as to be unable to mount his horse without
aid, and when in the saddle looked more as
if he was hooked on that seated there.
" The new Empress of the French is no
doubt the daughter of this Countess Teba,
'Maraquita Kirkpatrick,' who was the
daughter cf William Kirkpatrick, late U. S.
Consul at Malaga—not Biitish Consul—not
Fitzpatrick, and not Irish.
*' The British Consul at Malaga was Wm.
Laird, another old Scotch gentleman, and
he was followed by Mr.Marks, an English-
man.
li the new Empress of France was
Countess Teba, as stated, then her mother
is dead, as also is her father, and she took
the title ol her mother. The name Monte-
go, under which she passed in Paris, is per-
haps one of the family names or titles of
the Palafox family."
The Commercial, in giving this, says:
" Like his uncle, the great Napoleon.
Louis has determined, it appears, upon a
marriage of affection and not of covenance;
with this difference, however, that white
Napoleon I divorced Josephine after attain-
ing imperial rank, Napofeoi^ III raises one
of the people to the throne. This marriage
mav increase the sympathies of the masses
with Leu is Napoleon."
The N. O. Deua thus speaks of the "Mar-
riage Speech" of Loi:?s Napoleon, to the
Chambers:
;; Louis Napoleon's last speech, which
might be called an apology for his iiupita'^
is not as successfully plausible as some of
those which preceded it : it is too open a
justification of reaction, and too plainly a
plea for absolutism. The Republican who
swore to defend the constitution four years
ago, and then became the Emperor, who in-
tended 'to surround his throne with republi-
can forms,' has now fallen back upon the
Kaisar, who declares that 'every enlighten-
ed government should strive to lead France
back to the pale of the old monarchies.'
And yet this is not going too far. It was
applauded by the people. Napoleon under-
stands the lunatic of nations, whom we
know by the name of Franee, and has
adopted a skillful treatment of her disease.
He feeds her on sentiments and fetes. He
whispers to her some stuff about glory.—as-
hi's human form, if he do not lose a power
which enables him to hold some intercourse
with those whom he has known and loved.
But when we are asked to believe that
certain inexplicable thumbings aud bump-
ings and disorderly movement of toilet ar-
ticles, and disarrangements of furniture, are
the indications that spiritual beings give of
their presence, and their desire to hold com-
munication with us, we have a right to
smile, rind shut our ears, without being ac-
cused of bigotry, or prejudice, or the slight-
est semblance of incredulity. We do not
need to consider in such a case, the quest-
ion whether communication from the spirit-
ual world is consistent with any relisious
crecd or psychological theory : it is enough
for us that such a phenomenon as a rapping
noise, whether regular or irregular, con-
trollable or incontrollable, is in every view
inconsistent, to the extrernest point of ab-
surdity, With the manifestation of the pres-
ence of disembodied spiiits. To go no
further—the production of noises and the
movement of objects, such as we hear of
now daily, imply the control of physical
forces by the spirits whom some suppose
to be the causes of these incidents; and if
the spirits have this power, they could use
it in a manner much more consistent with
common sense, mneh botter suited to effect
their purposes, and much farther removed
from the ridiculous, than in plajing at
woodpeckers, or giving us a far off, feeble
imitation of some of the poorest tricks of
' Professor Westervelt.' As they could do
this if they had any control of matter, wre
have the right to require that they shall do
it, before we give the least heed to any
argument, or surmise that we are receiving
communications from beings who are of the
same flesh and blood as ourselves. For to
suppose that spiritual beings would call the
attention of mankind to supernatural com-
munications, by vague and brutish noises
and fantastic tncl^s, when the same powers
would enable them to signify their pres-
ence. and communicate their thoughts and
wishes \\ ith intelligible simplicity and
dignified directness, is to admit a moral ab-
surdity radically inconsistent with the very
respect for the agents supposed to produce
these phenomena—if so they must be called
—which constitutes their only claim upon
our slightest consideration.

The late rains raised most of the streams
between this city and Austin, so as to detain
the stages several days. The Cypress was
so high for six or eight days, that stages
could not pass the bridge: but Col. Grant,
with his characteristic energy, prepared a
light boat aud ferried his passengers and
the mails across the swollen stream, and the
stages were enabled to proceed with their
accustomed regularity. Col. Grant merits
the thanks of the public for his indomitable
perseverance and enterprise. If all mail

others, names not known to her, are heirs of
said William W. Slay, deceased, who are

Spirit Rappings.
The " spirits " have made their appear-
ance in our town. With what effect we do
not know. The following from tiie N. Y.
Courier, expresses our views exactly; we
need add nothing thereto :
"Can any sane man whose grandfather
was not a giggling idiot or a drivelling sot.
believe that his respected progenitor, if he
could burst the bonds of the spiiit world,
would do so for the purpose of drumming on
boards, upsetting tables, aud flinging tooth
brushes and hair brushes recklessly about }
or that even if this were not the object of
his communications with his family who
are yet in the flesh, that such would be the
means whereby he would call their atten-
tion to his presence ? Are such proceedings
consistent with the old gentleman's well
remembered tespect for the proprieties of
life? Was he in the habit of signifying his
presence in the family circle by thumbing
upon the floor? Did.he enforce his argu-
ments by the hurtle of a flying hair brush ? j
is it Consistent with the propriety not to
say the dignity with which he sat at the
family b> aid. t at ne should be accessory
to twi-tihg ol it about the room, to make
the duped stare and the undtiptkl sneei /
And since he was never known t0 conduct
himself with such unseemly, boyish trivial-
ity when he was subject to all the frailties
of flesh, with what reason can he be sup-
posed to abandon his correctness of deport-
ment now that he has passed into the vast
solemnity of the purely spiritual existence ?
If a man who has cast off his mortality can
communicate with those who yet wear it,
he muat have lost his human nature with
28th day of March, 1853, and show cause-
why partition and distribution should not
be made of the estate of said William W.
Slay, deceased, in two bills that have been
filed by said complainant, one of which is
tor distribution of said estate in the matter
of the administration pro tern., aud the other
of the matter of the administration general-
ly, and plead answer or demur to said two
bills, otherwise the same will be taken for
confessed as to them, and set down for hear-
ing ex parte, at which time and place a
general partition and distribution of all of
the estate that the said William W. Slay,
deceased, died seized and possessed of, in
the State of Texas, whether real, personal
and mixed moneys, bonds, notes, accounts,
&.c., will take place.
In testimony thereof, I, John Johnston,
clerk of the county and Probate Court of
said county and State, have hereunto set
