A FAMOUS PAINTING. The Enormous Ransom Offered for the Picture of St. Jerome. On the throne of Modena was an Austrian archduke: his government was remorselessly shattered and virtually destroyed. The ransom was fixed at ten million francs and twenty of the best pictures in the principality. But on that of Parma was a Spanish prince with whose house France had made one treaty and hoped to make a better one. The grand duke, therefore, was graciously allowed to purchase an armistice by an enormous but possible contribution of two millions In money together with provisions and horses in quantity. The famous St. Jerome of Correggio was among the twenty paintings seized in Modena, The archduke repeatedly offered to ransom it for one million francs, the amount at which its value was estimated, but his request was not granted. Next came Bologna and its sunouudfng territory. Such had been the tyranny of ecclesiastical control that the subjects of the pope in that most ancient und famous seat of learning welcomed the French with unfeigned joy; and the fairest portion of the papal states passed by its own desire from under the old yoke. The successor of St, Peter was glad to ransom his capital by a payment nominally of twenty-one million francs. In reality it was far more; for his galleries, like those of Modena, were stripped of their gems, while the funds se’z-ed in government offices, and levied in irregular ways, raised the total value .forwarded to Paris to nearly double the nominal contribution. All this Bonaparte explained. wa« but a beginning, the idleness of summer heats. ’’This armistice,” he wrote to Paris on June 21, 1796, “being concluded with the dogstar rather than with the papal army, my opinion is that you should be in no haste to make peace, so that in September, if all goes well in Germany and northern Italy, we can take possession of Borne.”—Prof. Sloane, in Century.
