THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE DE
MALAKHOFF.

The marriage of Marshal Pelissier with Made.
moiselle Paniega was solemnised on Tuesday even
ng with all due solemnity in the Imperial Chapel
of St. Cloud. The Emperor and Empress, Madame
Montijo (to whom the bride is said to be *IT
nearly related), the Emperor's uncle, Prince Jerome,
his son, Prince Napoleon, and his daughter, Princess
Mathilde, the Murats, together with, to use the
language of the Moniteur, " a numerous and bril-
liant assemblage, composed of the grand dig-
nitaries of the State, Ministers, Marshals, &c.,"
were present. The civil ceremony had taken
place in the afternoon at the Maine of the
Rue d'Anjou St. Honore, First Arrondissement
of Paris, and the religious service was performed by
the Emperor's principal chaplain, the Bishop of
Nan6g. Marshal Valliant, Minister of War, and
M. Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave
away the bridegroom, and M. Fould, Minister of
State, and a Spaniard, the Marquis de Casa Riera,
did ie same office for the bride. The mother of
the lady lives in Spain, but from some cause or
other does not appear to have been present. The
Moniteur records the proceedings almost in an
official form, and gives it all the distinction which
a prominent place and large type can impart. It
may, consequently, be regarded as of great
interest to the public, if not a political event;
and I should not be much astonished if ad-
dresses from the civil and military authorities
expressed the joy of the French nation. Marshal
Pelissier, Mike de Malakhoff, is said to be in his
67th year, or thereabouts ; his Duchess in her 33d.
She had been living for some time with Madame
Montijo, and constantly appeared with her in
Parisian society for two winters back. She seemed
to be regarded almost in the light of an adopted
daughter. Much is reported of the generosity of
their Majesties, and, although it is quite in charac-
ter with the well-known munificence of the Em-
peror, yet I apprehend there is some exaggeration
in the reports of the splendid gifts bestowed on
this great occasion.
The resources placed by a liberal and enthusias-
tic people at their Sovereign's disposal could not be
more gracefully distributed. Some of the Paris
papers have said that the spacious mansion in the
Champs Elysees known as the Hotel D'Albe has
been bestowed on Madame Montijo. If this be the
case it will probably become her permanent resi-
dence, and may soon again be adorned with the pre-
sence of other members of the family. It is possible
that splendid alliances are yet in store. Indeed, it
, was lately rumoured that another Marshal was
also about to unite himself with the French or
Spanish branch of the family. Marshal Pelissier,
who, all accounts agree, went through the interest-
ing ceremony, both at the Maine and the Chapel
of St. Cloud, with remarkable self-possession, was
not supposed to be what is called a marrying man.
After the religious ceremony the wedding guests
proceeded to the saloons of the Palace, and there
paid in due form their compliments, and offered
their felicitations to the new married couple. The
Duke and Duchess start for England immediately;
and the latter, I have no doubt, will be the same
ornament to English society that she has been here.
The Duke has already established his reputation
among you.
