ceived on the staircase by the Emperor, who col'
braced the Archduke, and shook hands with the

and conducted her towards the Empress, who ec°
waiting to receive thew. There, the order of thing 6
was reversed, her Mejesty embracing the Priucess
cordially, and giving her hand to the ArchciulN'ef
when the whole party proceeded to the Empreso
saloon, where the usual presentations took place'
The Pavillion Marsan had a suite of rooms pre'
pared for the illustrious guests, who, in the evening'
found themselves sufficiently refreshed to go to the
Gymnase and assist at the first representation of
new piece by Alexander Dumas, fils, entitled
" L'ami des Femmes." The following day, Sunday'
the Imperial party drove in the Bois de Boulogale)
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 succeseorl
to his throne and the spoiler of his son's fortuv.e6.
The Archduke is a very intelligent, good-look ia
young man, about 32 years of age, but 10015.1
rather younger from the slimness of figure
his fair hair and beard. The Princess Charlotte'
daughter of the King of the Belgians and ofle°
of Orleans, is very pretty, and has a countena.les
full of animation and intelligence. She is said t°
have great influence with her husband, and to htli's
readily assented to, if not even advocated, 'ol°
Mexican scheme.
Sunday there was a grand dinner at the Tuiletil
at which the Austrian Ambassador and the Prireeo
Metternich, with several other Ministers were 341
vited. In the evening an impromptu tlaeatt'i°f
representation was organised, some of the actor 3 st
the Theatre Francais were sent for, and wallet;
scenery, decoration, or further preparation, 1\1.11c;
Plessy, Bressent, and Deleunay acted a charnile°
little piece called " Le Bougeoir," which is 00;
pletely a coo echo de salon, and, therefore, q
adapted to the occasion. Monday, a family
ner was given, after which the third grand con cello
of the Tuileries took place, Patti, Mario, Dells
Sedie, and one or two other vocalists of the
attending. The Empress was dressed in apa 5f
grey dress with diamonds round her neck, an 3 °,O
' her head. The Archduchess wore a sky-blue t Otio
robe richly ornamented with blondes and 111)10:0
and round her throat and arms a set of sapp 3i%0
and diamonds of great beauty, and a coronet or to
same gems on her head. The visit seems to,
.10
prolonged longer than was announced, as a vies ;et
the grand opera is projected for next Friday, ',lli
a dinner and theatrical entertainment on Thurs
at the Palace. It seems yet very doubtful whe
teb
their Imperial Highnesses will remain Iseo
enough to allow the grand ball, which was sF,Olto
of as about to be given in their honour, to Pi
place at the Hotel de Ville.

THE LEVEE THIS DAY.—A levee was held to'criof
by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, on bellelittis

the attendance of company usual on such occasiono a
very much restricted, owing to the notification iosteeteil
short time ago that gentlemen who had been once pret°

would not be expected to attend other levees.
