Some of the Emperor's flatterers, and among them our fellow-citizen Talleyrand, held, however, American connexion in peculiar dis- taste. Joseph showed me a letter from Talleyrand to Napo- leon, dissuading him from violent or arbitrary measures to break up Jerome's American marriage, and counselling gentler proceedings with the delinquent young prince ; which charac- teristic letter flattered the Emperor's vanity by an aristocratic sarcasm at the American match, somewhat, as I recollect them, i...n these terms : " Not, sire, that I advise your majesty to sub- mit to the transatlantic connexion, for I can imagine few greater domestic annoyances than twenty or thirty American cousins. " In August, 1807, Jerome's atonement for the American marriage, and obsequious submission to his imperial brother, were signalised by marrying the King of Wirtemburg's daughter A^OLrilL— IT 258 BONAPARTE KINGS.
