Every one was anxious 10 felicl,ate him, no'

more splendid, for which immense prepare,
tons are making. This marriage Is looKeu
upon with very evil eye in the Fauxoourg
Saint German, where it is pronounced TO OF
sedi,ious union, Monsieur Laiit;e having CIV
en- his daughter 10 the son OF man who was
accused of trea son to the Bourbuns. The dow
ayers, male and female, Of this antlqua!ed
Fauxbourg, are furious agaips, NJ. Lahtte, for
having chosen the husband for his daughter,
and the in,erilor Of his immense wealth. from
am ongst the Napoeonite noblesse instead Of
the Bourbonian, thereby preftrring The militia
nv renown Of New France to the musiy parch-
men,s Of the old regime. Its even thought
that this noble Indignation has not been allo-
seIher a stranger to some circumstances that
look place before the celebration Of the marri-
age In the course oil the night preceding TINS
event, M. LATTE received six anonymous let
tiers. in which il was stated 10 him thai his
daueh err would be asssassinaed sooner than
such a union Should be suffered 10 take place.
Two days before The one appointed, another
letter was received, stating that Mad'lle Laltte
would be inundated even al the steps OF The
all ar; and what was still more infamous and
dasardly, Two similar letters were addressed
TO Mad. Lafilte who became seriously alarmed
Oh account Of her daughter. Nj. LATTE though
attaching but little importance TO these mis-
slo,s, thought proper however to lay them be-
fore the Project Of Police, who, also looking
upon them as contemptIbl. efforts ct malice
withou, any serious intention Of execution, me-
yerlheless took certain precautions, which, to
, those not in he secret, appeared somewhat eX-
! ,raordinary. About The doors Of the church
were posted some twenty gendarmes, whilst the
carriage in which was the bride was escorted
by Three or four more NQ psfsQn Ms a4mt Ne
procured several Of The most respectable look
ing police agents, and sent them in their holy
day suits, 10 mingle with the well dressed crowd
in the church, and keep sharp lookout. No
interruption, however, to the ceremony, nor
any accident Of any kind took place; and all
passed fl in perfect order and safety. None

Marshal Ney were invited TO the wedding
