DEATHS.

On Christmas day, 1824, at Karasubasar in the Crimea, the celebrated baroness Valerie de Krudener.

She was born in 1765, and was the daughter of Count de Wittenkoff, governor of Riga, and great granddaughter of the celebrated marshal Munich. She possessed an enchanting countenance, an elegant and ready wit, with blue eyes and flexible features, expressive of mind and sentiment. She was of the middle stature, beautifully formed; her brown hair fell in ringlets on her shoulders, and there was something in her whole person and manner that seemed singular and striking.

Such were the physical advantages of the baroness de Krudener, who was ambassadress at Berlin, in 1798. Idolized in the circle of fashion, she loved it. Her rank, her wit, her qualities, rendered her one of the first women in Europe. Her charms inspired her husband's secretary of Legation with a fatal passion. The baron was then Russian ambassador at Venice. This rendered her name still more celebrated; and she wrote a novel, in which she relates, with the deepest sensibility, the fate of the unfortunate young man who committed suicide for her.

This work, intitled "Valerie" (her christian name), was written with an enthusiasm which already announced an ardent and disturbed mind. At the commencement of the Revolution, Madame K. visited and resided in the south of France, with her daughter-in-law, Sophia de Krudener (since married to a Spaniard), and her two children. A year after, she returned to Germany, and from that period to 1805, or 1806, history is silent respecting her. At that epoch she appeared again in the scene, not as the brilliant Prussian ambassadress, but as the penitent Magdalen. She now conceived herself to be a messenger of the Almighty, and possessed of an irresistible calling.

Valerie stated her mission to be, to establish the reign of Christ on earth. Never were so much generosity, grace, and zeal, united to such an ardent perseverance, as in this ultra-Evangelical mission. How
