'Mere were the heralds in their grotesque tabtrda, I heavy with gold and mysterious in their embroidered quartering"; the groups of colossal Lite Guards scattered here and there, waiting to v j o placed on sentry, but themselves forming one of the most re markable features in the exciting aeons. Th ere was the long suite of state apartmer,ta already beginning to fill with privileged oocr.,pants, amongst whom the loose robes of OrieMal royalty contrasted with the trim neatness of the Parisian toilette. There was that rare parterre in Queen Anne's room, its gallery studded almost to the roof with young and blooming faces, the quaint old armoury also crowded with our youthful aristocracy, the more extensive and cheerful colour court, one great expanse of pleased and eager human counte nances, and lastly the little chapel, to enter into which was the privilege of few indeed who took an interest in the general pageant. Like • precious casket, this small interior actually gleamed with gild ing and colour, with gold and silver brocade, with precious gems, with nodding plumes, with dresses upon which art and wealth had been exhausted—end here, although there was light enough to distinguish everything, yet was it so toned down that nothing glared, but all ' things seemed to melt gently into each other, like the scenes of a dissolving view, or the happy dreams of the eastern enthusiast. A dim atmosphere, sa if from clouds of incense, pervaded everything ; the rarest perfumes floated on the air, and eves and anon the solemn stillness of expectation was inter rupted by some new arrival, perhaps some great figure in future pictures, but now paying homage ' in his or her apparel to the general splendour, and tending by their presence to add one more item to the dreamlike magnificence of the scene. There is a hush, a stillness that may be heard, then the distant boom of artillery, then the faint strain of distant trumpets, which, gradually "welling into the martial fulness which no other instrument can imi tate, and at last the first great incident of the day's pageant is made manifest to the straining eyes of the spectators in the Chapel Royal. A lady of most regal bearing, but pale and slender, is seen at the threshold, and, attended by a princely train, she walks majestically up the aisle. It is the Erin ass Royal of Prune, the mother of the young son- I in-law of England, and never was royal personage more emphatically distinguished by a noble and queenly presence. The great ladies who crowd the reserved benches are almost audible in their com mendations, and a general obeisance is cheerfully • accorded to the impressive and dignified bow of the august visitor. In a moment her royal highness is seen seated on her tabaret of state on the haat pm, surrounded by some young officers of the brilliant Prussia= body guard, and the coloured light from the window overhead gives a rich distinctness to the figure of the sitting Prince's. This was the first great incident of the day, and derived additional interest from being the kflown harbinger of the successive processions into which the Master of the Ceremonies had divided the marriage ceremonial. Mamie now added its never-failing charm. The trumpets again sounded, but this time with a more prolonged note, swelling gradually into a solemn march of triumph as the Queen's procession approached the entrance. In came the heralds, ranging themselves quickly right and left, then in quick succession the officers of state, in their splendid blue and gold uniforms, the only exception being the Earl Marshal, who wore his royal scarlet with much grave dignity. The entrance oldie Princess Mary of Cambridge made a profound impression, and very general indeed were the expres sions of praise at her royal highness's graceful and dignified carriage as she walked slowly up the aisle. Her Royal Highness's salutations were affec tionately as well as respectfully returned, and many a wish was expressed that soon her Royal Highness might be the centre figure in a pageant similar to the present. Then came the royal Commander-in- Chief, the very ideal of a soldier, with his fine countenance, his martial beard, and minim manly bearing. Now the eye becomes dazzled with stars, and gold, and embroidery. A venerable lady approaches, her countenance full of mild dignity, but, it is a pity to be obliged to add, bearing the expression of broken health and exhaustion. It is the Queen's mother, the Duchess of Kent, and we have too much for which to be grateful to that illustrious lady to allow her to pass without a special recognition. The trumpets still sustain their subdued march, the peen ' liar music producing an effect which every one men tions with a sort of involuntary admiration, but which no one can exactly describe, and presently another lady of the royal house approaches. The great ladies recognise the Duchess of Cambridge; and again there is a general rising and rustling of silks, a general exchange of salutations, graceful and condescending on the one side, graceful, and respectful and obviously affectionate on the other. Still the martial strains swell louder and louder; the Lord Chamberlain and Vice-Chamber- lain approach, and presently the Prime Minister is seen manfully grasping the huge sword of state, and looking as if only with his life would he yield up this much coveted badge of the highest office in the nation. Lord Palmerston looked well, bat his was too familiar a face to excite much curiosity. A general smile of welcome told of the entrance of the heir apparent and his next brother ; and then came Her Majesty, leading her two younger sons by the hand. The living type of the greatest earthly power walked slowly up the aisle with her wonted dignity ; and her countenance wore that serious—almost sad expression that befits a mother when about to part, perhaps for ever, with her first born child. The royal head is adorned with • cas tellated crown that blazes with diamonds,and the royal train sweeps long behind, or sways to and fro in the heedless young hands of the two pages of honour. Then come the three princesses, and the interest in the great procession has • pause, while every eye watches for the entrance of the bridegroom. Now is heard more solemn and almost unearthly music, and Prince Frederick William of Prussia walks, almost quickly, up the aisle, the tension of the face indicating high mental excitement, and a flickering blush showing the embarrassment of youth at being thus the ob. served of all observers. There is one feature left, one figure in the picture still to be painted, last and fairest of all, and in the entrance of which the in terest of this eventful day may be fairly said to cal minate. " Last but not least in love," the figure of the young Princess Royal is seen approaching, her Royal Highness followed by her bevy of fair and youthful bridesmaids, and a shock almost of surprise is felt at her juvenile, almost child•liks, appearance. Smaller of stature than her royal mother, the young Princess bears strongly the physiognomypf the royal family. Her face is fair and fresh, her head well set, the figure plump, but still agile and susceptible of much grace and dignity of carriage. There is confusion, there is childlike wonder, there is an ex pumice almost of awe on that young face as her Royal Highness glances timidly round and hesitat ingly returns the curtseys which oome as it wore in a shower from every aide. But she soon becomes re assured, her step becomes firm, she passes 00, and we have time for a glance at the bridesmaids, who, each bearing a bouquet, almost as blooming as herself, fol low up, and at the altar form a floral semicircle round the young Princess. The rest is matter of de. tail—the ceremony, the break up, the enbeteraent marshalling to the Throne-room for the attrAation, and the departure. In a moment the Awl picture is dissolved, and the little chapel of St p a l ace is restored to its ordinary solitude and silence. 4ournal Mates that a memorial ia being for signature' against the appointment of &Welds of Clanrioarde as Lord Privy Beal, EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (viola ors oint PARIS, MONDAY EVIIIINCI. There is disunion in the cabinet on the subject of the proposed " repressive measures." People even speak of a " ministerial crisis." But the expressions used in regard to the difficulty, whatever it may be, which has arisen in the entourage of the Tuileries, only prove the poverty of language. There is no such thing as a " cabinet " in France, and there can be no ministerial crisis in the sense understood in countries where ministers are responsible to the nation. The principal guarantee which a minister now has for the tenure of his offioe—and it is no in -1 considerable one—is the extreme reluctance of the Emperor to discredit anyone who has been allowed to hold himself out to the public as enjoying his confidence. Nevertheless, there is now a hitch which may possibly lead to some change, although I do not think the alteration will be considerable. I should not, however, at :all wonder if M. Carlier were to be made Prefect of Police, vise Pietri. The former gentleman has a great deal of adminis trative ability and was only dismissed because he refused to lend himself to the Coup d'Etat. The extra zeal which he would certainly now be pre pared to show in order to redeem that fault, would be the very thing required under present circum - stances. The opinion that very few " repressive manses" should be ostensibly taken gains ground in the ante-chambers of the Tuileries, now that the excitement ender which the imperial speech was dictated is passing away. It is admitted upon sober examination that to add to the present abso lute powers of the government would be To gild rafted gold, to paint the 1117. To cause irritation by any such " wasteful and ridiculous excess," is considered impolitic, and a hint has been given in proper quar ters to disseminate, by means of litho- graphed correspondence and Belgian journals, the opinion that all the minims of new measures against the press and individual liberty are mere inventions. It is also contradicted that four great military commands, in addition to those of Paris and Lyons, already existing, shall be established—and that Marshals Pelissier, Canrobert, Banquet, and an other primp not yet named, shall be appointed to them. The Bourse was affected to-day by the rumours:to which I have alluded. The Rents fell 35c. for cash and 30c. for account, closing at 69fr. 201 r. and 696.30 c. Mobilier fell 32fr. 50c. The Orleans and Lyons railways fell 12fr. 50c. each, and the other lines from 56. to 76. 50c. It is said that the Courrier de Paris has been purchased by Count de Morny. I have now before me the text of the warning given to the Phan; de la Loire. It is a gem in its way, and in consequence of my having been slightly misinformed u to its purport, I did not do justice to it yesterday. I was told that this Nantes journal was warned for saying that the Cbr►espondance Haves alleged (in Frenchpriteed) that the Emperor's speech had been received with acclamations, &o. Rut, in point of fact, the article did not go to any thing like that length in relieving itself from the responsibility °Adopting as strictly true the matter of-course report of the enthusiasm which is always supposed to be elicited by whatever the Emperor says. It merely said, " The Emperor pronounced speech which we have already published, and which, according to (d'apres) the Heves Correspon dence, was repeatedly greeted with cries of "Viva l'Empereur !" " Vivro l'lmperatrice !" " Vive le Prince Imperial r This " dubitatire and improper form" of announcement, the warning states, was "doubly blameable" under existing circum stances. I do not think that any warning has ever yet been so fine-drawn as this. It is noto rious that the Emperor's speeches are always printed before they are delivered, and that the " applause," " loud cheers," " enthusiasm," &c., are all put in beforehand, in proper places. But it is now laid down that not to adopt these official garnishings as absolute truths, and to cite the authority from which they are copied, is an offence in the eye of the law. The functionary who has the honour of inaugurating this new jurisprudence is Baron de Girodot, the Secretary-General acting in the absence of the Pre fect of the Loire Inferieure. Prince Albert of Prussia, - the King's youngest son, is expected in Paris from London on a mission to congratulate Napoleon 111. on his escape from the attempt of Jan. 14. General de Constant de Rebeeque, a near relative of the celebrated Benjamin Constant, hae just died at Amsterdam. In the Paris corn market, during the past week, the price of flour has tended downwards and quo . tations range lower, the four marks not being more than 48fr. to 49fr. the sack of 167 kilogrammes, good qualities 46fr. to 47fr., and ordinary kinds 44fr. and 46fr. A large purchase for Spain, said to amount to 9,000 sacks, on Wednesday, led to some what higher prices, but as soon as the transaction had terminated, the lower quotations were again descended to. Wheat has also been sold at a lower rate, the decline being about IG. the hectolitre and a half, and the quotations for the best qualities 27fr. to 27fr. 50c. the 120 kilog., seconds, 26fr. to 26fr.50c., and the others 24fr. to 25fr. Business continues to be rather restricted. BELGIUM. Crux 1N oocasioxa, conaisroxmarr.) EItI7BSELS, Zias. 24. We are beginning to feel the effect a the mea sures taken in France in consequence of the attempt against Napoleon on the 14th. The French govern ment, through M. Barrot, its representative here, has laid its complaint against the Drapeau, the journal denounced by the Mortiteur, and another paper of a still lower class called the Crocodile. This latter is a sort of inferior Chariteri, which comes oat once a week, and which, in commenting upon the crime of the Rue Lepe ll etier, let slip the following sentence : " The attempt was only a just re-action of things here below, and since Napoleon has made use of the sword he must expect to perish by the sword." The French government finds in this expression an incitement to samaination. We are much surprised here at this procedure against two obscure journals, whose titles even were unknown a few days ago, and which do not sell more than 200 copies between them. The authors of the articles impeached have not yet dome forward, and in all likelihood it will be the printers that will have to face the jury. The Crocodile is edited in great part by certain students, who founded that newspaper for the sole purposeof getting free tickets to the theatres, and who little thought, when they dabbled in political squibs, that they would be over hauled at the assizes. It has been expected that the government here would present a project of law to supply a deficiency in our legislation by providing the measures to be taken in the eventuality of any attempt similar to that of the 14th. This bill was presented indirectly to the Chamber of Representatives at the sitting of January 19. M. Teach, the Minister of Justice, pro posed a bill to amend certain parts of the penal code. Among the new articles comprised in this bill we find the following, which define the acts that fall under the category of" crimes and mis' de meanours affecting international relation?: Art. 169. An attempt against the person of the Met of a foreign government is punished with forced labour from 10 to 15 years, without interfering with the infliction of heavier penalties, if incurred under the other regulations of the pre sent code. Art. liO. Conspiracy spinet the life or person of the chief of a foreign government shall be punished by solitary impriecament, lilt have been followed up by the commission of any sot with a view to prepare for the execution of the said crime. I. 171. Conspiracy shall be punished with imprisonment of two to eve years, and a fine of two hundred to two thou send hang, if it have been followed up by any preperstoty act having for its object to destroy or change the form et a foreign government, or to excite the inhabitants of a foreign country to take up arms against the authority of the chief of the said country's government. The guilty may moreover be placed under the special sur veillance of the police for Ave to ten years. Art. 172. Such guilty wan shall be exempted front the pains and penalties awarded by the 168th and 109th article, should they previous to arrest and examination have given to the government or to the administrative authorities or to the executive police information of the plots and their authors or accomplices, or should they have procured the arrest of the said authors or accomplices. The guilty parties giving such information, or procuring each arrest, may nevertheless be placed under the special surveillance of the police for five years as a minimum, or ten yews as a maximum. Art. 173. Whoever, by wri tin gs, printed matter, prints or any emblems posted or advertised , distributed or sold, offered for male, or exposed to public view, shall have rendered him self guilty of an offence against the person of the chief of • foreign government, or shall have maliciously attacked his authority, I. to be punished with an imprisonment of from three months to two yes" and with a fine of one hundred to two thousand francs. Art. 174. Noperson shall be enabled to allege, by way of excuse or jastifleation, that the writings, printed matter, pictures, or emblems are merely a reproduction of other pub liainons produced in Belgium or a foreign country. Art. 176. He shall be punished with an impneonment of two to eighteen months, and with a line of fifty trams to ens thouaand francs, who by deeds, words, gestures, or threats, by writings , printed matter, pictures, or emblems , whatsoever, either advertised, posted, distributed, sold, or exposed hr sale or to public view, shall have outraged in the perinea mos of t.Mr duty any diplomatic agents accredited to the Belgian goveniment. Art. 176. Whoever shall have struck any such diplomatic agents, on account of any official act of theirs, is to be punished with imprisonment of from six months to three years. Should the blows have caused an effoalon of blood, or wounds, or illness, the guilty party will be punished with solitary ma- Gnawed. In any owe he ma be placed for from five to tea years under the special sure• of the police. Art. 177. The regulations of the articles 176 and 176 only apply to outrages or emaults, the nature or circumstances of which may not render them liable to severer penalties accord ing to the other reguhrions of the pp t code. Art. 178. Whenever the tribonsii,in conformity with the !notations of the present chapter, shall pass a sentence of imprisonment longer than six months, they may declare the party so sentencedincapable of exercising, wholly or in part, the right' enumerated in the 42nd article of the present code fora period of five to ten years. Yon will not fail to observe that the 173rd article, which is merely the modified reproduction of the Faider law upon the press, no longer requires, as the preliminary condition of the prosecution, that a complaint should be that made by the government which has been attacked by the press. This measure will probably be carried by a majority, in the present state of public feeling, but it will be sure to give rise to a very warm debate. I alluded in a previous letter of mine to Pierri's arrival at Brussels, and to the insinuation made by the Nord of his being connected with Colonel Charras. That officer has demanded permission to come to Belgium, that he may take preceedings against the author of this calumny ; the govern ment has refused its permiamion, and M. Charras has been given to understand that his sentence of expul sion was irrevocable. Among the individuals seen by Pierri here is • maid-servant in the service of one M. de T—, a money-changer. This girl was once in Pierri's ser vice when he was in England ; she was there when he had meetings of refugees in his house, where the liwassination of the Emperor had long been a theme of discussion. This indiscreet visit of Pierri's to her was what made the police here acquainted with his antecedents, and enabled them to signal to the French police his departure for Paris. Orsini came to Brussels with Pierri. The horse found wandering about the public streets in Paris, and on which he meant to escape, was purchased by him here, from an officer of the Guides. Before con cluding the bargain Orsini made several trials to convince himself that the horse would not shy on hearing the report of a pistol shot. He was staying at the Hotel de I'Europe, in the Place Royale, under the English name of Alsopp, a name he retained at Paris. _ The French embassy here had a Ts Deum chanted last Saturday in the church of St. Guth]le, for the preservation of the imperial pair. The' church was filled. M. Adolphe Barrot did the honors, and received the high personages on their arrival at the entrance. All the diplomatic corps attended in full dress, the household of the ring and the Duke of Brabant, the presidents and bureau of the two legislative chambers, the ministers of state, the provincial and communal officials, the governor, M. Liedta, the burgomaster M. de Broackire, and more than 200 individuals decorated with the medal of St. Helena.

A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will be published on the FIRST SATURDAY in the Parliamentary Se lion, and continued on such weeks as the length of the Parliamentary Debates shall render desirable. To the various participants in the solemn ceremo nial which yesterday imparted such an extraordinary interest to the little unpretending chapel in St. James's Palace, the event, however brilliant and exciting, was but the event of a day, to be super seded on the morrow by fresher incidents, and speedily forgotten in the turbid and quickly running torrent in which runs the civilised life of the nine teenth century. But some two centuries hence, to the Macaulay of the day—it England should then possess • worthy successor to the great pic torial Historian—the wedding of the Prin cess Royal, eldest daughter of Victoria the Pint, Queen of England, will offer a theme of marvellous attraction. He will then have all his materials before him long cooled down from the fever heat of their original vitality, he will have the re mits to which they had led, and he will also have the softening influence of long historical retrospect to assuage the asperities, to fuse the tones, and to give mellowness to the picture, in which his skill will so well know how to units the fidelity of history with the fascination of romance. How may he not exultingly dwell on the feet, which to-day passes comparatively unnoticed, that the great Queen of the Islands, while struggling for the maintenance of her benig nant rule in one great empire, and bravely casting down the gauntlet of defiance to another, yet finds time and composure for the domestic cares of royal maternity, for marriage, and for giving in marriage for the tranquil " settling in life " of her eldest born child, and for the gorgeous details of the cere monial by which the happy event is made an accom plished fact. And then the time, the place, and the personages—how they will teem with topics for such a writer! The nineteenth century is yet but half exhausted, and already it has exhibited results far more wonderful than its far-off predesessor in which Christian Europe poured into Palestine to revo lutionise the astern world, or the more recent epoch in which the great discoverer added a new world to the territory of the then most powerful Christian mo narch. We have now little more than half exhausted the century of the power loom, the steam engine, and the electric telegraph ; we in England have just measured strength, and not unsuccessfully, with the Leviathan of the North ; and now, whilst the soars of that mighty struggle are scarcely healed, and while we are rivetting our armour for fresh efforts, the sound of marriage bells is heard, and a wedding rite is solemnised, the details of which all Europe is watching, and which is ratified by the joyful accla mations of thirty millions of brave and loyal people. Surrounded by such a halo of contempo raneous associations, the old Palace of St. James, and its modest little chapel expand into vast historical proportions. They become the theme of antiquaries, the pet subject of the architec tural critics, the cynosure of universal and eager curiosity. We look back into the dim past, and con jure up the shadow of bluff King Harry, with his famous decorator, old Holbein ; we remember the austere Queen Mary, and gratefully contract with that unpopular sovereign our present beloved Queen; we drop • tear to the memory of royal Charles, who, we know, spent within its walls the night preceding that great catastrophe which at the moment electrified and then paralysed all Europe. But on the 26th of January, 1868, an event takes place which banishes all lugu brious recollections, and the narrator feels a plea sant and genial influence steal over his thoughts as he sits down to tell with affectionate circum stantiality how the garden entrance of fit. James's Palace was at that wintry time green with rare exotics, and brilliant with the many-coloured Flora which the commerce of the world and the skill of the Evelyn' of the day had placed at oar command, irrespective of the seasons. The crimson and gold, the draperies and the curtains, the bridal apartments and the rooms of state, and, lastly, the little chapel itself, are susceptible of the most minute description, and every such detail is always greedily read and relished by the lively curiosity of the public. Of the personages, too, how much may be said by the searching historian, when he sits down far away from the turmoil of our party politics to scan, and analyse, and weigh, and give judgment on our Palmerston and Marinades, oar Granville" and Breadalbanes, and the other person ages distinguished in politics, in war, or in letters, who, either officially or as spectators, were permitted to play a part in yesterday's pageant. And truly it was an impressive and gorgeous picture. At the earliest poseibie hour the court-yards of the palace were filled with the equipage, of the great, and in a moment its long and intricate corridors streamed with life and beauty, and gay and splendid empanel, the badge of office, the decoration at heroism, the plumes, the rich tissues, the brilliants, which add grace and dignity to aristocratic beauty, THE PRINCIPALITIES.
