The Imperial Pageant in the Tuileries.

The effluence of people crowding the approaches
of the Tuileries and the Louvre, both on the side the
Rue de Rivoli and the quays, on Thursday last, was
excessive. The day was fine, and all Paris, used as
it is to such sights and pageantries, was out to watch
the drawing up of equipage after equipage to the

gate of the Pavilion Denon, in the court of the
Louvre, by which all favoured with tickets, or hav-
ing a right of entrance on the occasion, were to be

admitted. The carriages and gay liveries of the

various members of the diplomatic body, and of some
foreigners of distinction, soon began to enliven the
scene, and were closely followed by those of th°
Ministers and their wives, nearly all having taken
their respective places before half-past twelve
o'clock. Just before the arrival of the Empress,
followed by the Prince Imperial, several members
of the Imperial family began to arrive, and on the
Empress making her appearance, holding by the
band the little Prince, the Princesses Clotilde and
Mathilde, the Princess Anna Murat, and several
others of the Murat family, greeted her Majesty at
. _

. _ _ . ...
the entrance of the hall, and followed her as she
walked up, gracefully bowing and smiling, towards
her seat on the throne at the upper extremity of the
Salle des Etats. It was observed that the Empress

looked remarkably well and animated. She has
gained embonpoint since her departure from Paris,
and this, although it makes her look more
matronly, is rather becoming than otherwise.
Her dress (that important feature of the fair Em-
press of the French) consisted of a plain blue
satin, of that beautiful shade known as the
blue imperatrice, made perfectly simple in
the skirt, which was exceedingly ample,
and formed quite a demi-queue behind ; an elegant
white lace shawl was thrown over her shoulders,
and she wore a bonnet of blue velvet and whit°
blonde, from which fell in front a pointe ending in
a fringe of white beads resembling bugles. The
Princess Clotilde, who sat near her Majesty, had on
a grey satin dress, and black lace shawl, and a
white bonnet with feathers; the same fringe of
white beads terminating the pointe which fell over
the front of the bonnet. The Princess Mathi;de bad
on a moir antique dress of a grey shade, with a ro•
tonde of the same material, ornamented with rich
gimp. The Empress had scarcely taken ber seat
(which happening to be close to the one I had the
good fortune to have secured, gave full opportuni-
ties of watching her), when the Emperor was an"
nounced, and, amidst loud and continued acclama-
tions, his Majesty proceeded to the throne ; and all
present having been summoned to be oeated, the
business of the day began. Several portio.ns of the
discourse were loudly applauded, more especialli
those relating to recent events in Mexico, a.nd the
state of Poland. The Prince Imperial, who stood
by his lady mother all the time without a gesture
of impatience, is much grown, and is certainly 0.
very noble, promising-looking boy, full of intelli-
gence, and with a frank expression of countenance
which is exceedingly winning. Whatever of eh'
thuciasm there may be remaining among the French
nation for their rulers seems to be brought out whets
the youthful heir of the Napoleonic dynasty appear°
at any of their public shows. On this present once.
sion, the expressions of admiration at his tenue
his costume of grenadier of the Guards, and at hie
general good looks, were genuine and unmistalre'
able. The whole ceremony was closed in one hour'
