The coronation fixed to take place the 11h Of
April but her Majesty the Emprss determined to enact
her part with much splendor became her rank was
dissatisfied with her share Of the jewels and kicked
up grand muss with her imperial consort, from

As an appendix to this great coronation ceremony
We have heard, on good authority, that the EN-
peror has already sanctioned tho sending Of an en-
bassy to Lola Montes to solicit her hand for the
Prince Bobo. whom she heretofore rejected Prepara-
tions are being made q grand scale, so that Lola
will have tho chance of playing her avorite
part in the character Of queen The representation of
this farce ought certainly to satisfy all creation that
Hayti Is great Empirc-that Soulouque and his dngy
consort have proved themselves worthy of their royal
