The Daily Dispatch: March 28, 1865., [Electronic resource], The late Duke de Morny. (search)
The late Duke de Morny. --By the steamer Australasian we learn of the death of Charles Auguste Louis Joseph de Morny, Duke of the Empire of France, and reported half-brother of the Emperor, on Friday, the 10th of March, at Paris. The Duke was born on the 23d of October, 1811, and was, consequently, in his fifty-fourth year. He has been regarded as the illegitimate son of Queen Hortense and the Count de Flahaut.--He was adopted by the Count de Morny, of the Isle of France, who received 800,000 francs for thus extending his patronage and name. He was educated under the supervision of his supposed grandmother, E. Mme. de Flahaut; his proficiency in study was most remarkable, and his elegance of manner much noticed during his early life in society. He attended one of the military academies of Paris, and left it in 1832, after two years study as a sub-lieutenant.--He was stationed for some time at Fontainebleau, and served with some distinction in Algeria, where he was wounded.
