Partisan Gossip
| Private letters, dated "Paris Sept 18TH contain
no political news which has not found its way into
print, though the Cabinet Councils are said to hnve
been frequent, and probably of great importance
Forced by popular opinion to uphold the Pope in his
stand against the despotic schemes of the House of
Hapsburg -upbraided by Prince Metternich for not
remaining neutral, in return for Austrian silence on
the Montpensier marriages foed In his crafty schemes
which were to have secured the crown of Spain for
! his daughter-in-law to uphold Greece, and
destitute of diplomatic alles-Louis Philippe finds
himself victim to his insatiate ambition. Discomfort
and impoverished finances stare him in the fuce ut
home; and 1t Is the general opinion, that having de-
stroyed all confidence in the political morality of NJ
Guzot the King will dismiss him with as little cere-
mony as he did Lafayette Late and host of others
whom he has used as his tools. The great difficulty
would be to form new Cabinet, which could offer
any solid guarantee of its duration, unless the Duke
de Broglie can be ensted-a difficult mattcr-as he
promised his late wife, on her death-bed never to sit
at the Kings Council table, great was her aversion
| to the pnppet-like proceedings there. The Duke,
(now Minister at London) has visited Paris in order
to concoc plan for altering the Sale law of SPAIN
which Mr.. Bulwer is fomenting at Madrid. Queen
Chrstiana came daily from Malmaison to lend her
aid and it has been determined on to send M do Ba-
court, formerly Minister at Washington with large
supply OF money, to act in concert with Gen. Mar
veaz. ..s
Meanwhile La Jeune France is getting very FESTIVE,
and rails at the Government in measured terms for

Frenchman all the interests of the country are abroad
and her internal position is for moment be ta-
ken into consideration If she direct the policy of
IA foreign power, in such manner as to thwart the
views Of England.
There was a royal salute fired from the esplanade
of the Inraides, the 18th of September in honor
of the birth of young Prince the first child of the
Duchess d'Aumae, who is n Neapolitan by birth,
and as ugly body as one often sees, though her
diamonds Of the finest water and her dowry was
large. She calls her son the Duke of Guise and he
is the richest prince living, his father has settled
upon him the vast Condo estates, which the King SO
! cunningly managed TO obtain for him. The godmo-
ther of this young Crnsus the Princess de Join
vile, who is as buoyant with health and spirits us
ever, refusing to submit to the strict etiquette which
the Queen endcavors to establish. In this insubor-
dinaon she is most CALAMITY upheld by her sailor
be hundred, or he will come out Gas he FUN would
do) in opposition 10 the pacific policy Of the King
His marriage, by the way, was rather a romantic
one, and may be new to American readers:
diplomatic etiquette requires that an ambassador
should go TO propose the hand Of royal sutor settle
all the preliminaries of the affair." and, finally marry
| the Princess selected by proxy. When il was pro-
posed to send NJ Theirs to Brazil thus charged with
the hand of the Prince de Jonville he refused to
sanction the mission, declaring that he never would
marry woman he had not seen, or have any other
man act for him. To this determination he remained
firm; the Queen entrea ted him in vain, the King
scolded to no purpose, and matters could only be
compromised by allowing the Prince de Joinville to
act as ambassador himself. His orders were very
positve-he was ask for the hand Of the Princess
if she suited his taste and If accepted, to have
put her ladies' on board fngate, and escort her
himself in his own vessel the Belle Poule, back to
France, where the marriage was to BIO celebrated in
due form. Arriving at Brazil he became deeply smit-
| ten with the charms of the Princess him
self, was acccpted-nhrried her despite the Kings
orders-and most conjugally took his bride on board
\ his own ship Once out at sea, he reflected on the
lecture which awaited him at home, and by way of
avoiding its first outbreak, instead of returning i'm
mediaely to France he INDUCED himself in a length
ened cruise and remained at until the King
corvette to order him into port. The sight of his
uhsopns'ica'eo uaugn'et-in,a" Vana her suos'anua'

story ends BY the old adages-' ATS well that ends
well
Though capital sailor the Prince Is poor
sportsman, disabling almost as many dogs as hares,
and has lately accidentally shot his elder BROTHER the
unlucky Duke dc Nemours. The gun went of as
the Prince was cooking IT. and as part OF the charge
grazed the Dukes temple, he had lucky escape.
THE Duke dAumale is making great purchases
Of sporting apparatus, wherewith to amuse himself
In his future Viceroyaity OF Algeria, and has given
out invitations for Lion Hunt next winter on
Mount Atlas, which will surpass anything Of the
