A ROMANTIC BUT TRUE STORY.
The following paragraph from the E
vening Star, was sent to it by its Liver
pool correspondent, and recalls to our rec-
oilection a remarkable tact in tne nisiory
of the titled lady here spoken oC which
we Ion? ihouL'ht of making public:
The Countess of Harrirgl'on-ci de
rant Miss Footes said to be in 2ry in
different health. This lady, wbp has had
the luck to win iv coronet in the' wane of
her beauty, has behaved in a very exem
plary manner since her marriage. She
has not, however, been received at Court.
At the Coronation, September, 1831, she
wa.s pre-eminent j for the taste and rich'
ness of her attire, and the grace of her
carriage.
It is well known that the present Coun
tess of Harrinjrton, formerly the beautiful
and talented Miss Foote the actress, was
for some time under the protection, as it
is very falsely termed, of the celebrated
Col. Berkeley, Inow Lord Seaqrave, of
Berkeley Castle. Gloustershire in Eng
land. It is equally well known that the
result of this coaoecijoh was two children,
a grT and a hoyj Shortly after the birth
of the latter, a weak minded young man of
fortune, Mr. Joseph Hayne, better known
as Pea-green Hayne, became so deeply
fascinated with the charms of Miss Foote,
that although he well knew these fa t3,
he ofTered her his hand in marriage, She
accepted the offer, and the nuptial cere-
mony was on the point of being perform
ed, when his friends interfered and res
trained bim by! main force, by actually
locking- him up in a room, from constim
maling1 on engagement' which they con
sidered to he degrading. For this breach
0 protaise, Miss Foote sued him in acuurt
of law, ;and reeoveTiwd damages to the a
mount of 3.000 sterling. He afterwards
renewed the offer, and she feigned Jo a:
cept it again ; but on the hour at which
they were to go to the hymenial altar,
Miss Foote ma4e herself scarce in her
wedding attire, and would never after
wards listen to his importunities. Poor
Hayne got so unmercifully laughed at in
the fashionable world of which he was a
votary, that he abandoned , himself to a
lower scale of society.-became a patron of I
the pugilistic ring; jn sheer vexation with
the ring of matrimony, and spent a large
fortune in gambling. '
When i layne j first made hie infatuated
proposals to Maria Foote, she was in the
city of Dublin, and the younger of her
chrdren, a boy, was but fiv or six months
old. She boivevtr, left them hyth under
the care of a Mr. McDermott, the wife of
a respectable mechanic, then residing near .
Sack vi lie.' st. and accompanied Hayne to
the British metropolis. She never saw
those children iafterwnrd. She wrote
several times to Mrs. McDermott, inquir
ing after them, aiid we believe promising"
to send her money for their maintenance
and education, but the. promise was never
performed, and the correspondence ceas
ed. Capt. Foote, Maria FooU-s father,
called several times to see the children,
hat he also at length left them to the un
aided care of their foster mother, and was
seen, by her no more. ,
Within a year from that period, Mrs.
JMcDerraott emigrated with her husband
to this country, and having no children of
her own. and being nucii attached to the
lovely children j she had nurtured, she
brought them with her, rather than leaw
them lo the mercy of an alms house. The
little bov djed on the passage; her hus
band died shortly after their arrival, and
she is now a very poor widow, living in
Orange street, and maintaining the daugh
ter of Lord Seagrave and the Countess of
Harrington by her humble but honest ex
ertions river the washing-tub. We first
saw this little girl about a year since in
the ojfficeofjCovuwellor DeLucy,in Cham
bers 8 reet, where she was employed in
some medial duties about ' his apartroeuts.
She was then1 between twelve and thirteen
years of age, and was fully conscious of
her parentage and abandonment. Be
ing some w hat 'SncnJdulous respecting he r
romantic story, curiosity induced us to ob
tain 4o ioterrieAv with her foster mother,
Mrs.. McDermottJ which resulted in a firm
conviction upon bur miod that the narra
tive was perfectly true in every particular.
The general impression jn LnglantJ
concerning ijie ite of these children, if
we may judge, from the occasional inter
est manifested - concerning them in -some
of the English papers, is that they are en
joying : all. the advantages of a wealthy
and noble paternity, both in education and
society, within tbe urine! v domain of
Berkcly CastleJ But other papers say
Vbejr are equally happy and prosperous
under the maternal care of the Countess
of Harrington, j This discrepancy may
be considered, a collateral .evidence of the
fact thfft these papers know-not where
.theyAie; but merely indulge in fashiona
ble rumors; Mrs. McDermotu however.
can afford any inquirer satisfactory proof,
both documentary and circumstantial; that
she knows th'err fateand can produce one
of them whose feature speak strongly fu
the materyty she claims. Thus whilst
Lord Seagrave ia spending his 50.000
sterling a year in a splendid circle Af luxu
ry and fashion; and newspaper corf esppn
3ents, write ven to America of lhe xich
pess ofxatiire,w the r pre-eminence the
Uste" cj",lhe I'r:famed CounU s of, .Har-
rington, the deserted daughter of these to
tied parents is living upon the charity of
a jpocx eeUe old washerworcan, who is
scarcely able to earn a subsistence. . We
met tne poof child yesterday carrying; a
bundle jo William street and we can as
sure the correspondent of the Evening
star mat mere was very tune rienness in
WerUir. - If any , person would , wish for
the further particulars of this case of heart
less abandonment,! we would be happy to
introduce htm 'to poor Mrs. McDermotu
and we doubt not thatChancellor De La
cy would feel equal pleasure in. doing so.

Two Emotions It wad about sixteen
years since that old Gen. had with
drawn himself from the world, its pleas
ures, and the sphere of politics. A sol
dier from the eirly. days of tho empire.
his manner of life was changed, and his
time given up to the exerciseof a double
occupation.. He consoled himself as well
as he could with the gone by dream of
glory, and superintended with great dili
gence the studies of his niece, who with
himself, occupied a modest cottage, wash
ed by the pure waters of the. Loire, a few
miles below Amboise. To his title of
preceptor the old I general added the still
more endearing one of I comforter.1 His
tiiece was of that age when the heart vib
rates with the' softest cmctions'and th
gentlest sympathies in, brief, she loved.
A onion was about to take)lace, which,
for its fulfilment, awaited the relurn of a
young officer of the army, then in Algiers.
One evening, "'twas on the edge of
summer," a barque driven by the wind
and current, la.ieniwith young people of
both sexes,- "gentle dames; and gallant
squire?," was proceeding in the direction
of Anihoise. The echo of the river re
peated ihe sounds of the light guitar, and
the accents of several musical voices'were
heard from its binks. ; The young troop
were singing the songs of the Loire, com
position? no les iapplirable to the time
and place than romantic, and well suiting
the occasion. - . i .
"Let's take this world in some wide scene,
Through which in frail hut buoyant boat,
With skies now rude and now serene,'
Together thou and I must float
The old general saw little' save the
wreath of blue smoke which was slowly
undulating, from the "bo'vl of a Turkish
pipe. A the charmer of an idle hour;" but
hi fair niece was lost in a reverie. The
gay party on board had just finished a
beautiful canzonette, entitled ' Espoir et
Letour" and the young maiden, whose
thoughts, light as, the air which fanned
her countenance, had flown on wings of
love, " where Afric's golden -rivers flow,"
leaving behind a sentimental languor not
to be controlled, and two big round .tears
fell almost unconsciously on the band of
the general. Well,' nly dear niece,"
said the veteran, reposing hjs pipe on the
table, are you so weak that a song should
affrct and distress T' and, the old man
laughed loud and j long, adding withal
some quaint but! good humored irony to
his remarks. A few moments' of silence
ensued, and now another boat glides by
It was freighted! by the: inhabitants and
some of the dwellers on the banks of the
rrver. Immediately was heard sounds of
w
rough tsnsic, like thexlaog of aims rough
and deafening : while the air gave back
the crash of instruments that seemed to
rend the firmament; harsh arid discordant
as "the din of w.ar," Just then a moon
beam played ppon the river boat, and the
tri-colored flag is 'seen reflected on the
Id ue surface ofbe j water and now two
masculine voices are heard joining the
clashing cymbal, and the clarion's trump
echoing to the skies the national air.
"Allons, enfans de la palrie !"
"Uncle, what is the matter?. Yon shed
tears i feel them hot and burning 1 How
is this? Can a Fong so disturb you, dear
uncle ? ' said the .betrothed -damsel, ironi
cally. "It is not a song," replied the old
general; "it is the freeman s cry the
people's voice the national hymn. Weep,
weep tears of joy; ray child. The ro-
mance Lhi lletourj is wortny ol our best
sympathies the women 1 will ncderaiand

the friend and lover returned triumphant
from Algiers; in! the feccond the citizens
bad come to the genera!, seeking in bim
a chief pledged to maintain the character
and extend hi and wide the renown jof
the old soldiers of La Loire.
