PARIS, June 90
The marriage OF the Duke of Berry took
place on Tuesday last at Notre Dame. The
Duke and Duchess went in state, attended
by the Nobility and Gentry, in state dres-
ses. The procession was of the most SUI
psrb description. The Duchess is not str-
kingly handsome, but has very hne skin,
and looks sensible, lively and good natursd
has gone through ever since her arrival in
France, gave her the appearance of ex-
treme fatigue on the day of her entrance
into Paris. The young pair, altho' previously
married by proxy, did not take up their
residence iii the same palace until after they
had personally gone through the solemn
ties of the Church. This has been remar-
led with satisfaction by the Parisians, as
showing greater attention 10 decorum than
was exhibited by Bonaparte, who took the
Archduchess Maria Louisa at once to St.
Cloud, without waiting for the nuptial ben
ediction. Several of the French were
quite astonsbed, OF tue day of the Duchess
of Berry's arrival. to see the Duke of Wei
iington walking as a private Gentleman in
the Rue de la Paix, with the intention OF
seeing the procession pass.
