In the Paris and London papers letters from Vienna have appeared, in which mention is made of a free conversation at court between the young Napoleon and Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa, so notorious for his connexion with the Bourbons since the date of the French Emperor's fall. The story of the conversation is confirmed; and it is further stated that Marmont has written to Paris, an enthusiastic account of the intellectual and personal endowments of the young Duke, adding, that all would be over with the present King of France and his dynasty, the day on which the intelligent, spirited and graceful youth should show himself in Paris. Far from reproaching Marmont he told him that he knew his name to be associated with the great exploits of his father, and considered him as having been afterwards subject to fatality, and not a traitor. -Nat.
