'oSSir AbOUT IRINCESS.-I he french
correspondent of the London Court Journal
depicts the Princess de Joinvlle in some
what different colors from the portraiture OIL
ven by the English authorities, and relates
some morsels of gossip about the affiaacino
OF the bride, which we are inclined to believe
more fanciful than real The following is a
part of the sketch to which we have refer
once:
She is little, wild, uneducated creature,
graceful to the utmost degree, buoyant with
health and spirits, but little Injured to such
etiquette as that which reigns at the Tulle-
rles | am told that shortly after her arrival
she was invited to join the party at a certain
round table, where the Queen and her la
dies sit night after night, stitching much but
uttcring little. She bore it patiently for some
time, only expressing her WEAKNESS by sun
dry and of;-repeated yawnings; but at length
quite unable TO stand it any longer, she Jump
ed up from her chair, clapping her hands and
skipping round the room, ended her evolu-
lutions by seating herself on the floor and
singing Brazilian songs. The Queen was
Mortified at such breach of decorum, and
the King laughed heartily at the childish
freak of the little princess. She is most
lovely young creature, and true, unsophis-
ticatcd child of nature. Every thing here
is new and strange to her, and whenever
she is unusually struck by what she bcholds
she exclaims aloud, "Ah, if my brother and
sister could but see this too!'' and bursts in
to tears at the recollection of her early home
and distant friends. She will doubtless soon
get accustomed to the separation, surround
ed and cherished as SIC is by her new and
distinguished relatives, and united TO gal
liant Prince whose qualities of mind are by
no means inferior to his personal advantages
The marriage of their Royal Highnesses
look place in rather an unusual manner
Etiquette requires that an ambassador SHOULD
go and make the proposal, settle all the pre-
llm!narles of the affair, and finally marry the
Princess by proxy. The Prince de Joinvillt
kicked dreadfully against such a mode o.
proceeding, and not only did he object to
mlrry woman he had never seen, but he
refused point blank to allow any other MAI
to marry his wife for him-and there the mat
ter stood, until the King compromised mat
tiers by allowing the Prince de Joinvillc te
act as ambassador His orders were very pc
sitve; he was to ask for the Princess hand
if she suited his taste, and if accepted wa:
to have put her and her ladies on board one
frigate, and escort her himself in his OWN
vessel, the Belle Poule, back to France, where
the marriage was TO be celebrated in due
form. No sooner had he seen her, than she
pleased him so well, that he became deeply
smitten with her charms, and resolved even
despite the Kings orders to marry her forth
with, and most conjugally take her on board
ofhis own vessel. Once out to sea he refe
ted on the lecture which awaited him at home
and by way of avoiding its first outbreak, in
stead of returning Immediately to France, he
INDUCED hmselfby heightened cruise, and
turned deaf ear, or rather blind eye, tc
the telegraphic signals to hasten his return
till at length the king was obliged to send on,
corvette to call him back again. The sight
of his charming daughter-in-law, and the peni.
tence of the young sailor, soon appeased his
Malesty's anger, and now-all's well tina,
ends we'll.
