FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
A letter from Biarritz says :—" On Sunday
there was here what the local journals call a
nautical fete,' and the Emperor and Empress
were present at it. First of all, about 20 fishing
boats belonging to Saint Jean de Luz, Guethary,
and Socon, sailed up to the Villa Eugenie ; then
there wrs a swimming match between the bathing
men a the place, and prizes were given to the most
successful ; next there was a very amusing duck-
hunt ; and the amusements terminated by the fish-
ing boats filing off before the Emperor and Em-
press—the crews crying out with enthusiasm,
Vive l'Empereur !" Vive l'lmperatrice !' In one
of the boats the Mayor of St. Jean de Luz came,
and the Emperor told him that he had not forgotten
a project submitted to him some time ago for im-
proving the roadstead of that place."
"Nothing," says a Paris letter in the Nord,
" caused the mission to Warsaw, with which the
Emperor has charged Prince Napoleon, to be fore-
seen. It was at Biarritz, where the Prince had
gone to pass a few days, and from which he was to
have returned with the Emperor, that his departure
for Warsaw was decided on. He returned suddenly
to Paris, and left on Sunday, as already stated, for
Cologne. There the Prince reposed a few hours,
and afterwards proceeded by special train to Ber-
lin, where he was to arrive at 9 on Monday even-
ing. H.I.H. was not to stop in that city, and a spe-
cial train, prepared by order of the Russian Go-
vernment, was to meet him on Tuesday morning at
the frontier. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, that is,
52 hours after his departure from Paris, he was to
arrive at Warsaw, and dine with the Emperor
Alexander. His visit proves that the relations be-
tween the courts of France and Russia are more
and more intimate, and that the Emperor Napoleon
is desirous to testify by an act of courtesy his
friendly sentiments."—Another Paris letter in the
Journal du Havre says :—" The journey of Prince
Napoleon to Warsaw is interpreted here in various
senses, According to one version, the prince has
ganiti invite the exar to visit France, as, indeed,
he had promised it do at the interview of Stutt-
gard. This is the more probable, that the Empress
is not at Warsaw with him. In this case, he would
arrive at the camp of Chalons during the presence
of the Emperor, and would thence proceed to Com-
piegne and Paris."

The marriage contract of Marshal Duke of Mala-
koff, engrossed upon vellum, will be, it is said, a
masterpiece of the calligraphic art. On the bind-
ing will figure the arms of the marshal and his
bride, the settlements being drawn up according to
the law of community of property between hus-
band and wife. The contract is highly advantage-
ous to the bride elect, and confers on her a large
jointure. The marriage will probably be celebrated
in the chapel of the Senate ; but if the Emperor
and Empress, as is asserted, should decide on being
present, it is not impossible that the ceremony may
take place in the chapel of the Tuileries.
