Il
phia Register, under date of the 5th inst, gives
the following French moreeau:
The Paris papers by this weeks steamer will
| announce to you the great affection which has
| Just befallen the Imperial family: ("le grand
malheur qui Went de frapper Ia famille impe-
risle y but for the very good reason that they
dare not, they will not tell you Of the eircum-
stances which led to this misfortune You and
your readers perhaps will scarcely credit what
I relate, but assure you that here it is not
only believed, but vouched for by persons whose
veracity it is impossible to doubt. In the
saloons in the clubs, in the ateiers, nothing is
talked of; and the police is daily arresting per-
sons imprudent enough to discuss the matter in
the streets. You are probably aware that
few days before his marriage, Louis Napoleon
dismissed Mrs. Howard, the mother of his three
little girls, and she took refuge in England. He
had offered her residence and q pension in
France but this she refused. Two weeks ago,
she returned to Paris, on business, probably,
though many say. she came by the Empsrors
request. Be that as it may the Empress heard
Of her arrival, and was highly indignant that
she should have been allowed to enter France.
Thereupon eonjugal Caudle scene, at The end
Of which her Majesty declared that II she met
Mrs Howard, she would punish her for her pre-
sumption, and give her a lesson which she woold
remember. His Majesty merely shrugged his
shoulders at this threat, doubtless thinking it
nothing more than an ebulltion Of words, which
would be forgotten with the excitement which
caused it. He was too confident, and the En-
press was as good as her promise. The very
next day, while riding in the Bois de Boulogne
on her spirited Andalusian, and accompaljed
A only bySher ladies and grooms, she was stof ID
in by-road by carriage. At FIRST, the EN-
press was about to turn aside, and let the car
risge pass; but, glancing at its occupant, she
recognized Mrs, Howard, and, determining not
to give her the road, she reined up her horse,
and waited for the carriage to turn out OF the
way But Mrs. Howard had recognized her
rival also, and calling up her pride and spirit,
she ordered her coachman not to give the road.
A few words were exchanged between the lat
ter and the Empress attendants, but he refused
to 90 contrary to his orders After q moments
suspense, during which the two ladies Sc fasaienf
des grands ye,Ir (" made big eyes ct each other,
the Empress galloped to the side Of the carriage,
and, in a most impolite manner, struck Mrs..
Howard with hel riding whip. The other
raised her parasol. and. before the attendants
could interfere, regular battle began between
the whip and the parasol and the tongues OF
their owners, until the whip, being the stronger
of the two, broke the parasol, and Mrs. Howard
sank back fainting, on the carriage cushions,
her toilette and curls in q deplsfsble state,
while the Empress, who had received no visible
damage, gave a triumphant little laugh. struck
her spur into her horses side and gslloped
away, followed by her suite, every member OF
in which was stupifed by the scene which they had
er been forced to witness.

few gems d'armes coming up, Mrs. Howard was
OF carried into house near by, where her wounds
