The Mexican Emperor at Paris.
On Saturday, about four o'clock, the Imperial
couple arrived at the Tuileries, where they were re'
ceived on the staircase by the Emperor, who etc'
braced the Archduke, and shook hands with the
Archduchess. He then offered the latter his arah
and conducted her towards the Empress, who was
waiting to receive them. There, the order of things
was reversed, her Majesty embracing the Princess
cordially, and giving her hand to the Archduke'
when the whole party proceeded to the Empress'S
saloon, where the usual presentations took place'
The Pavillion Martian had a suite of rooms pre'
pared for the illustrious gaests, who, in the evenial
found themselves sufficiently refreshed to go to the
Gymnase and assist at the first representation of 11
new piece by Alexander Dumas, fi/s, entitled
"L'ami des Femmes." The following day, Sunday'
the Imperial party drove in the Bois de Boulogae'
giving all the good bourgeoise of Paris the spectacle
of the granddaughter of Louis Philippe side by side
with the partner of Louis Napoleon, the success°,
to his throne and the spoiler of his son's fortunes.
The Archduke is a very intelligent, good-lookieg
young man, about 32 years of age, but lookil
rather younger from the slimness of figure an
his fair hair and beard. The Princess Charlotte'
daughter of the King of the Belgians and of Loviee
of Orleans, is very pretty, and has a countena.o
full of animation and intelligence. She is sai.6 t°
have great influence with her husband, and to IVO°
readily assented to, if not even advocated, til°
Mexican scheme.
Sunday there was a grand dinner at the Tuileries'
at which the Austrian Ambassador and the Prince°
Metternich, with several other Ministers wero
vited. In the evening an impromptu theatricef
representation was organised, some of the actors
the Theatre Francais were sent for, and withee
scenery, decoration, or further preparation, Mlle;
Plessy, Bressent, and Delaunay acted a charre.le°
little piece called " Le Bougeoir," which is 001;
pletely a cowedio de salon, and, therefore, q,'
adapted to the occasion. Monday, a family ‘lll3O
tier was given, after which the third grand con el le
of the Tuileries took place, Patti, Mario, 1"00
Sedie, and one or two other vocalists of the
attending. The Empress was dressed in a pOO
grey dress with diamonds round her neck, anti 0,4
tier head. The Archduchess wore a sky-blue nstlo,
robe richly ornamented with blondes and tibiae
and round her throat and arms a set of sappiliiio
and diamonds of great beauty, and a coronet of '0
same gems on her head. The visit seems to 0
prolonged longer than was announced, as a visl;tef
the grand opera is projected for next Friday, Aliaf
a dinner and theatrical entertainment ou Thinss
at the Palace. It seems yet very doubtful whetßoi
their Imperial Highnesses will remain I°ol
enough to allow the grand ball, which was 5p,01400
of as about to be given in their honour, to t
place at the Hotel de Ville.
