At his chateau of St. Leu, in his 75th year, Louis Henry Joseph de Bourbon, Duke of Bourbon, and Prince de Condé. This unfortunate Prince terminated his He is existence by hanging himself. supposed to have committed the fatal act while labouring under derangement, produced by the excitement which the late revolution occasioned, of which, however, he seems not to have disapproved. It appears, that he was sadly annoyed by some of the ex-functionaries of Charles X., who had by letters, and in one instance personally, repudiated his claim to the name of Condé, reminding him how gloriously it had been sustained by his father, who had in the former revolution cast his shield before the fallen fortunes of the Bourbons, and made it the rallying point of the Royalists, until their throne was re-esta blished; again quitting the capital, though borne down by infirmity and the weight of years, with Louis XVIII. during the 100 days of Napoleon, rather than compromise his allegiance. Haras sed thus on one side by the bigots of the old Court, and on the other pressed to come in, and take the oath to the Orleans dynasty, the individual members of which were his personal favourites, he weakly rushed out of existence, to escape these conflicting importunities. He had promised to repair to Paris, to take the oath, on the morning when he was found dead in his chamber. On the previous night, he desired his valet not to enter his apartment as early as usual; the man obeyed his master's order, but when two or three hours had elapsed after his usual time, and he had knocked repeatedly without obtaining an answer, he then, with the assistance of others, burst through the panels of the door, and found the unhappy Prince suspended by his own neckerchief, from the iron central fastening of the window; he used a stool to stand upon, and then kicked it down. He was in his ordinary clothes, and the body quite cold. Thus has perished the last member of the illustrious house of Condé. upon the memory of Buonaparte,) and only son of the illustrious and venerable Louis Joseph Prince of Condé,* on whose death, in 1818, he should in due course bave assumed the title, which, however, be declined, from a feeling of modesty, as not being worthy to succeed a prince of so high a personal character as his noble father; and particularly as the prospects of his house were for ever extinguished by the murder of his only son. This shews him to have been a quiet, unambitious man ; though he was not deficient in military spirit. In 1776 a duel took place between Charles X. when Count D'Artois, and the Duke de Bourbon. The Count having a lady with him was followed by the Duchess de Bourbon. She seized his mask by the beard, and the strings snapped; the Count seized the Duchess's mask, and broke it. The Duke de Bourbon, con, ceiving that the sex of the Duchess should have preserved her from rude retaliation, sent the Count d'Artois a message. The duel took place at the Boisde Boulogne, near the Port de-Princes. They fought with swords; and the Count d'Artois having made a lunge, in which bis sword seemed to pass under the arm of the Duke de Bourbon, the Chevalier de Crussol, who was one of the seconds, believed the Duke to be wounded; and on the seconds interfering, the parties were reconciled. On the breaking out of the first civil disturbances in Paris, the Duke quitted France, in July 1789, with the rest of the family of the Prince de Condé, and retired to Brussels, whence he proceeded by way of Switzerland to Tunis. A great number of gentlemen accompanied them, all ready to fight in the cause of royalty. In 1792 the Prince de Condé opened the campaign, with his brave and loyal army, against the Republican forces; and in 1793, he was joined by his son, the Duke of Bourbon, and his grandson, the Duke d'Enghien, in the Black Forest; where three generations of heroes were seen combating together. The poet Delille thus notices this singular fact: Condé, Bourbon, Enghien, se font d'autres Rocrois, Et, prodigues, d'un sang chéri de la victoire, He was born April 13, 1756, and married April 24, 1770, the Princess Maria Theresa d'Orleans, who died in Jan. 1822. He was the father of the Duke d'Engbien, (whose barbarous murder at Vincennes, in 1804, will ever remain the foulest blot de Condé in our volume LXXXVın. i. p. 563. See an excellent memoir of the Prince 272 OBITUARY.-The Duke de Bourbon. The most remarkable affairs, in the campaign of 1792 and 1793, in which these three illustrious heroes performed prodigies of valour, were the battles of Jockrim, Pfortz, Barbelroth, Berstheim, Weissemburg, and Haguenau. On the Prince of Condé commanding a charge on the village of Berstheim, where the republican armies were concentrated in great force, his son the Duke of Bourbon, at the head of the second and third division of cavalry, made a charge on the enemy's cavalry, and drove it before him. Impelled by the ardour of the moment, the Duke rushed forward with only a few followers, when the Republicans, taking advantage of the circumstance, immediately surrounded him. The contest was bloody, and the Duke was severe. ly wounded; but the rest of his [Sept. "Après le malheur cruel dont j'ai été accablé, mon cher Jacques, je ne pouvais éprouver d'adoucissement mieux senti à ma vive douleur que de vous savoir vous-même hors de danger, vous qui méritez, à tous égards, la confiance et l'amitié de ce cher enfant que je pleurerai toute ma vie. Les larmes me suffoquent, et je ne me sens pas la force, en ce moment, mon cher Jacques, de parler affaire avec vous. M. de Contye veut bien se charger de cette pénible commission. Vous pouvez prendre confiance en ce qu'il vous dira de ma part, et vous conformer ponctuellement aux ordres qu'il vous transmettra, tant de la part de mon père que de la mienne. Croyez, mon cher Jacques, à mon entière confiance et bien sincère amitié pour vous.' ALT. & Bourky troops coming up, the enemy took to flight, leaving their artillery in possession of the Royalists. The Duke de Bourbon commanded the cavalry in his father's army, with distinguished honour, from 1792 to 1796; but Austria having made peace with France, the troops of the Prince de Condé passed in 1797 into the service of Russia. The following letter from Louis XVIII., dated Verona, June 24, 1795, will show the estimation in which the services of the Duke were held : "MON COUSIN, Je suis fort sensible à la part que vous prenez à ma juste douleur; elle en adoucit un peu l'amertume. Je suis bien sûr que vous combattrez pour moi comme vous avez combattu pour le feu Roi, mon seigneur et neveu*; mais j'espère que ce ne sera pas au même prix; votre sang est trop précieux pour l'Etat et pour moi, pour que je ne désire pas vivement qu'il plaise à Dieu de l'épargner. Comptez toujours sur l'estime et l'amitié véritables avec lesquels je suis, mon cousin, votre très-affectionné cousin, "LOUIS." ་ On the restoration of the royal family in 1814, the Duke returned to France, where his life was passed in comparative retirement until bis death. The obsequies of the Duke de Bourbon took place on Sunday Sept. 6; the religious ceremonies were performed at St. Leu. Their royal highnesses the Dukes d'Orleans and de Nemours, Prince de Joinville, and Duke d'Aumale, a number of Peers, Deputies, General Officers, and persons attached to the suite of the Prince, assisted. The procession set out from St. Leu for St. Denis. The 1st regiment of bussars, a battalion of the 5th of the line, and the national guards of St. Leu and neighbouring communes, led the procession, which was brought up by a troop of the national guards, the 1st hussars, and the 5th of cuirassiers. They were received at the gate of the city by the Mayor of St. Denis, accompanied by the municipal body. The national guard and the veterans kept guard. The procession having marched to the church, the coffin was deposited in one of the vaults, near the remains of the father of the deceased. the Duke to Napoleon, which might in all probability have saved his life. "The Duke (observed Buonaparte) had written to me, offering his services, and asking a command in the army from me, which that scelerato Talleyrand did not make known until two days after the execution. Talleyrand is a briccone, capable of any crime. 1 caused the Duc d'Enghien to be arrested in consequence of the Bourbons having landed assassins in France to murder me."-Talleyrand proposed to cause all the Bourbons to be assassinated, and even offered to negociate for its accomplishment. He demanded a million of francs for each." |
