P eon iuoro worthy of this cog- t that moment when, on hearing that Maria- ouisa's life was in. pcrll, l_ie s_i- lenced the voice of selﬁsh ambition _within his breast, and in answer to the inquiry of her physieian, uttered these memorable words_' ‘ Save the niother—it is her right.‘ The sacri- ﬁce which he so promptly consented to make, was not demanded of him. A son was given into his arms ; and at that moment of satislled ambition, the voice of the father spoke still more forcibly within his heart than that ol the ooveriegn. for it is said, that lie was seen ‘to shed tears of joy over the lielples babe which lay within his arms. The king of Rome was born on the niorning of March 20, 1811. He was so lcchlc at the inte of his birth, that it was deemed .il(l\'lS1l_lll\l tthnt he should receive the rite ofliaptisin with- out delay. n the evening of that day \i'.L‘l'llL‘i therefore, borne to the chapel ol the l.ll1ll‘l‘l('!4‘, whither lie was accompanied by his full-or mm tho whole imperial fauiil ‘ Lpon a while ul- vot carpet, eiiibroidcred w_itl_i golden h-res.
