PARIS, THCILSDAY Eviaron.
The King of Prussia and his son aro going away
to-morrow, and then the only foreign sovereign
which Paris will be able to show for several days

to come is Prince Frederick Francis 11., Grand
Daku of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Prince of Wen-
dell Schwerin and Ratzebourg, Count de Schwerin,
Lord of Lostock and Stretgard, Colonel of the Bth

Regiti.ent of Russian Grenadiers, and proprie-
tor of the 4th Regiment of Prussian Infantrj,

Brandeboorg No. 24.

However, the Viceroy

of Egypt will be here almost directly ; the
Queen of Spain, the. Sultan, and the Shah of
Persia arc certainly coming ; the Emperor of
Austria, perhaps ; the Queen of England, probably,
. .

though incognito ; and the Last news is that the
Presalent of the United States and the Pope are

almost persuaded to honour Paris with a visit.
There is a grand diner d'adieu to the King of
Prussia at the Tuileries this evening.
The ball at tho Prussian Embassy last night,
to which the King went after being entertained
at a grand dinner of seventy " covers " by
Lord Cowley, was distinguished from the many briL

bent ones which lu►ve preceded it by a jolly cantina
in the garden, where people might drink Bock beer

and smoke cigars. Count de Goltz, however,
would not stand treat for the cigars, knowing
German propensities, and fearing, as lie said, that

if
cigars
were too plentiful too many of his guests
would desert the ball-room. There was no quadrille

EC/wearer. Everybody danced as they liked, the
Empress on a throne looking on, and sitting
with the Emperor Napoleon on her right hand

and the King of Pr;nein on her left. The

Princess Mett4;rnich's absence from this fke was

greatly lamented, inure especially by those who,
knowing what a jovial companion she is, thought

she would not have disdained to join the beer

party. It was the mourning for the Archduchess
Mathilde which kept her at home.

M. Hausmann does not like to have it said that
the ball at the Hotel do Ville will cost 900,000 fr.
