The ball given by the Prince President at the
Tuileries on Saturday was very brilliantly attended,
mid the invitations having been more limited than on
former occasions, there was none of the incon-
.nience from over-crowding which was then expe-
Awed. The dresses of the ladies were splendid, and
e,.;rewas a fine display of diamonds. The members of
the diplomatic corps, a large number of senators, the
members of the Legislative Body, many of them wear-
ag for the first time the cfficial costume, most of
the councillors of state, also in their official costume,
the high public functionaries, and nearly all the
general officers and colonels now in Paris, were pre-
sent. The number of foreigners of distinction who
had been honoured with invitations was considerable.
The Prince President, accompanied by about forty
persons of distinction, senators, deputies, council-
lora of state, ministers, generals, &c., walked
several times through the rooms, and stopped fre-
quently to converse with persons who were known to
him. On his entering tha room, the Prince was ac-
companied by Lady Cowley, with whom he opened
the hall. At about half-past eleven the vast double
buffet fur the ladies and gentlemen was thrown open,
and refreshments of every kind were supplied in
abundance. The dancing was kept up until after
daylight. The Prince slept at the Tuileries for the
first time since his assuming the reins of government.
Lieutenant-Colonel Mouton, on half-pay from an
infantry regiment, who hes been for some time con-
fined at St. Lo fur politieal reasons, was last week
sent to Brest, under an escort of gendarmes, to be
transported to Algeria.
On Wednesday, the sth, being the 31st anniversary

of the Invalides, at which the Prince President of the
Republic, the members of the Imperial family, and
the high functionaries of the Government and of the
army will be present:
The Patrie says—

cent bracelet set with diamonds and rubies. The even-
