[From the New York Wcrld."J
William Patterson, her father, was the
soil of a farmer in Dimcgal, Ireland, who
at tlio age of fourteen was sont to Phila
delphia and placed in the coiuitiug'hotiso
>f Samuel Jackson, a shipping merchant.
Salle 11 says that ho "stood shoulder to
shouluer with Robert Morris and Stcph*
en liirard, with op«H porso bearing the
financial weight ot the Revolution, and
the subsequent dark days ot the ItepuL*
lie,"'enjoyed in a high degree the triend*
ship of Washington, Lafayette ami Ciy
r >ll' and welcomed Rochamheuu at
Newport and d'Estaiug in the Cncspuake.
In his will William Patterson said that
in 1775 lie embarked hie property iu ves
sels trading in Franco with returning
cargoes of powder and arms, that his
supply arrived at a oriticul moinout to
aid Washington before Boston, that ho
made SBO,OuO in tho West ludies and
going thence to Baltimore increased that
|to a million. 'I have made the foitunes
iof some, saved Olivers front ruin and
| found bread and employment for llious*
| ands of my fellow tuortals,' this singular
[ document reads, 'and no one could ever !
say to mo ".neighbor and friend, you got j
tho advantage of me—you acted ungeu* j
eroctdy to mc." Ali iend ol his daugli- '
ter describes him as oi strict integrity iu '
business relations, but close uud arbilra
| ry iu his family and by no means iinnec-
I cable iu morality. After long importing
I ing his wile obtained from him a promise
to import for tier a chariot; bo kept it,
but as the promise did not includo horses
the vehicle remained iu tho coach house
till death. To Mrs. Patterssiji, a tender,
religious and well cultured woman, their '
daughter owed her familiarity witji En
giisli and French classics; Rochefoucald's
'Maxims' sho had by heart, and at ten
could recite whole pai;es ot the 'Night
Thoughts,' which remained in her mem
ory for tlireo quarters ot a century,
though iu tho interim she had novcr
opened a volume of Young. To a prodi
gious memory she added a quick mind
and sparkling wit; her manners were
fascinating and her beauty remarkable.
Betsy Palters >n was less than eigli*
teen when iu 1803 she met Napoleon's
youngest brother, Jerome Bonaparte,
then less than twonty, though it is by no
inuuns uoi'tain that the date of his and
his brothers' births were not altered so
as to make thorn all seem younger than
they were. Jerome had served under
General Lecierc (Pauline Bonaparte's
first husbaml) iu Santo Domingo, and
after carrying despatches homo to France
had gono to Martinique, in command ot
a fngato. Leaving his station iu 1803 he
sailed to New Yore, where he was
warmly rceeivod. Joshua Barney, then
not long returned from service under the
French flag, invited him to Baltimore,
and Ihert*, at the house of Samuel Chase,
one of tho signers of the Declaration ot
Independence, ho met Miss Patterson, of
whose beautjr aud wit he had heard iu
Martinique. 'I know the most boautitui
young woman iu the world,' an ex-
Baltimorean lady said to him, 'whom yon
must marry,' and when one ot his suiir,
M. Rubclle, married ut Baltimore, and
Jerome Bonaparte declared that ho never
would wed an American, he received the
reply to wait till he had 8eo;i Miss Pat-
terson. A rocent chronicler—not partic
ular as to dates but evidently writiug
from conversation with Mrs. Patterson
Bonaparte—says that Elizabeth's mother
sent her to Virginia to liavo her out of
the way, that Jerome's curiosity was
piqued by the absence of one they all
talked about, and that when ho met her
in Mine. Rubclle'j carriage acting as their
escort to tho races, sly? resented his las
miliar method of talking ot her as his
'pretty woman' by turning her back sip
on Idm, au act of brusquerie that corns
pleted her conquest. At this first meal*
ing Miss Patterson wore a bufi colored
«i!k, very fcanty as to diapery, a lace
fichu aud a huge leghorn bonnet trimmed
with pink gauzo and long ostrich foil ti
ers. Jerome was an ardent .vooer; the
maid was willing to be won, for long
before she had laid it out as her late lo
wed a distinguished Frenchman, a pre
diction she recalled when at. a party
y3tw»g Bonapartc ( s chain accidentally
came 'ontaugled round bar neck.' On
the twenty ninth day of October, 1803, •
license fur thoir marriage was issued;
extensive preparations were made tor the
wedding, but Mr. Patterson received,
six days later, an anonymous letter ac
cusing the groom elect of libertinism,
and declaring that he had just proffered
marriage to u Miss Wheeler, and woald
not dare 'marry your daughter at tlie
Catholic church before the Bishop in
open day,' aud the match was tempora
rily broken ofl. Uowever on Ctiristmaa

of Carrollton, officiating and Alexander
J. Dallas drawing up the contract. The
bride wore a plain and very B=auty India
mimlin, with old laco, and a string of
pearls at her throat; the groom a suit of
laced and embroidered purple satin, the
widto lined 'kirta of which rciulied h.s
heels, knee breeches, diamond duckies
and powder.
OnMirch 2, ÜBOS, Jerome ami Betsey,
at early dawn, boarded tho Erfi) at Balti
more, and stiiled fur Spain. On tho 2d
of April tho Erin reached Lisbon.
Jerome set out for Paris, and his wile,
(forbidden to enter France) with her I
brother William, for Amsterdam. By j
the 3rd of ii»ty, 1805, leports that the i
tnarriago had been annulled were pubs j
lished at Philadelphia. In June Jerome
cruising oil Genoa in tha Pomona, while
his wife, who on the evo of his confines
n-ent, had lolt the Texel; not permitted
to hind—tho Erin was placed between
a sixty four gun ship and a frigate,
while a guard boat pliod around her at
nigh'—lmd reached Dover and found a
refuge hi London, where, atCamberwell,
July 7, 1805, her sou Jerome Napcleon
Bonaparte, was born. She had some
difficulty being ono of tlie Bonapartes, in
securing permission to laud, and a guard
ot cavalry had to be sent to protect her
carriage from the curious, Jeromo j
Bonaparte wrote to his father iu law
trom Genoa, June 12, by Lc Camus,
declaring that tlie old man's daughter
"had far removed If not destroyed tor*
over the possibility of a reconciliation"
by imprudently going to Loudon instead
of to a neutral port. On tho 29th of
July, Le Camus was again charged to
write advising Mine. Bouapaito to res
turn to America aud live th re as if she
were expecting her husbaud, aud above
all "not lo reject tho marks of the
benevolence oi the Emperor." Jerome
with five ships was about to sail oil »
mission, and if successful would (t ask
Ids wife as a reward ot ooudMct." In
September Robert Patterson was made
acquainted with Napoleon's terms —a
pension for life 0f63.000 fraues a. yoar
if Miss Patterson would' return to
America and not tuke the name of
Bonaparte, "to which sho has no righf,
her marriage having no existence."
Though Jerome was "almost always
talking about lier, delighting in the
recollection of her good qualities, aud
uever mentioned her uaine without
saying 'My wife, my dear little wife!"'
by October, at which time his dear
little wife with her boy reached Baltis
more, the gossips had it that "overtures
had been made to the Q ieen of Etrnria
to many him, but that she spurned
the idea with the greatest contempt."
On the 12th of August 1807, he married
the Princess Frederlca Catherine, ot
Wurtcinberg, Only once afterward did
ho meet his American wife—iu the
gallery if Pitti Palace at Florence where
to the Princess lcauing on his arm he
whispered with a start: "That lady is my
former wife!" iinmediatolr quitting the
gallery and next morning the city.
Oa her return to America she began lito
anew with a lilt of 1,000 guineas sent her
by Jerome oil hearing of the birth ot her
child, lie ottered her after his marriage
the Principality of Sinalcald, with
$40,000 a year, an offer declined, as
i ''though Westphalia might be a con*
siderable kingdom, it was not large
enough to hold two queons." Napoleon
appreciated the answer, as he could now
afford to do, and intimated through the
Frcnch.Mitilfter at Washington his de
sire to serve her. She asked (o be u?udc
a duchess, which he promisod to do
later, and she received $20,000 cash and
an annuity 0f512,000, which was paid
until Napolean abdicated, she being
permitted to sign the receipts of it
''Elizabeth Bonaparte," Jerome was
stung at her acceptance of money from
his brother, but sho retorted that she
preferred shelter under the wing of the
cag!o to Bholter under the wing of the
goose. To Napoleon's memory she was
grateful tor she declined to visit the
Court of Louis XVIII, not '! wishing to
pos*. tor a victim of imperial tyranny."
U.idcr the Restoration she was one
o> the reigning beauties of Paris. Site
bad "a spirited head crowned with
waving brown hair; large, lustrous,
liquid, hazel eyes, promising a tender
sensibility that did noi exist, a noye o(
delicate Greek outline; mouth aud
rounded cbiu, uests for Cupid; arms,
buat aud shoulders to satisfy a sculp
tor,"
In 1819 she was in Geneva complain
ing l bat she bad been nearly ruined by
commercial speculations, that her sou's
education was very expensive and his
lather bad postively refused to contribute

Duko William of Wtirioiuberg, admitted
that Jerome had missed it—was an

she wcio a queen «itli what she

Gortechaknff then a diplumatie, debutant
that sho had bocfti "near tho throne
