THE SUN,

FRAN CE.

We find the following in the Dix Decembre :
" After the serious events which have, within the last
few days, agitated the high governmental regions,
a schism is on the point of taking place in
the old majority, from the ranks of which will
arise a new parliamentary party, decided on sup-
porting the personal policy of the President. A
preparatory meeting took place on Friday even-
ing, at the hotel of the Prince de la Aloskowa.
Amongst the representatives present were Messrs.
Lucien and Antoine Bonaparte, Casabianca, de la
Moskowa, F. de Lagrange, Vieillard, de la Re-
doubte, de Salis, de Mouchy, Charamaule, Larabit,
de Caulaincourt, Gavini, Lallier, Elchevery, Gene-
rals Achard, Wast-Vimeaux, Husson, de Gram-
mont, &c. The new party will follow the line of
policy indicated in the message of Louis Napo-
leon, and• will not give its support to the Minis-
try unless it frankly follows the path traced out by
the President. The programme of General d'Haut-
poul was the subject of some criticism; several of
the representatives present at the meeting considered
that document as too indecisive, and as not clearly
pointing out that entire character of adhesion to the
presidential policy which it had a right to expect
from a Ministry formed under such circumstances."
The French Eveneisent publishes the following
exquisite series of blunders anent Miss Burdett
Coutts

" Miss Burdett Coutts, the rich heiress of the Duchess
of St. Albans, was introduced the day before yesterday
at the Ely:4e, by Lord Normanby. The rumours of a
marriage between Miss Burdett Coutts and M. Louis
Bonaparte some months since will not have been forgotten.
Miss Burdett Coutts is the daughter of Sir
.Francis
Burdett, formerly Member of the English Parliament,
who passed the first thirty years of his life on the
benches of the Whigs, and the last twenty years on
those of the Tories. The Duchess of St. Albans, who
left her her immense fortune, had been well known in
the theatrical world as Mrs. Siddons, whose first hus-
band was Mr. Coutte, the rich London banker, and
whose fortune she subsequently bestowed on the Duke
of St. Albans, who was younger than her by thirty
years, though he descended to the tomb several years
before her. The Duchess of St. Albans died abJut four
years ago."
