she was saluted BY all the torrcadors, and
exchanged with them the most cordial
greetings. ITO thee, Countess de Teba;

young lady. bravo, Antonio! Bravo Jose!

Like all fast women, our Countess found
matFimonial establishment difficult to OBJ
tain. Once she courted the Duke of Ossuna,
the richest grandee Spain, but he declined
the honor. Disappointed in this scheme,
she received the addresses Of a young noble
of CASTLE, and was nearly engaged to marry
him. But she could not help flirting at the
same time; and once, when this young man
was in her drawing-room, she went so far,
in her coquetry with another, that the for
mer aspirant for her hand seized chair
and threw it at her head saying that he
would not marry her for the world The
insult was resented by the last object of her
attentions. and two or three duels were the
consequence. The result Of all these acts
of dashing eccentricity, and Of all these
scandles, and Of others quite as notorious
was, that it would have been little less than
impossible for Mile de Montijo to marry a
gentleman of her own rank in Spain.
For three or four years past, Mile dc
Montijo has beenwon TO spend the winter
in Paris, where her conduct has been much
more circumspect than at Madrid. Still. she
has never gained an entry into the aristo-
cratic circles of the Faubourg st. German.
But she was compensated for this exclusion
| by thecordiality with which she was rcceiv-
ed at the Elysee, and By the profound i'm
preston she made upon its master. From
the first she inspired Louis Napoleon with
an ardent passion, which justified her reso-
luton to become his wife, and share the
glories that destiny had il reserve for him.
In accordance with this determination. she
steadily rejected other proposals. without
regard to their magni6cence. It was cur
rently reported in Paris, few months ago,
that her reply to his protestatiohs Of love
had been: prince, / am Of too good d fam
lily to be your mistress; and, If the saying
be hot exactly true in fact, there is no doubt
doubt that it is 50 in spirit. Latterly the
attentions of the lover hare increased in
zeal, and the position of the lady in his
court has been more marked than ever. She
was the heroine of every festival: during
the recent excursion of the court to Com
piegne, she stood at its head, as the bright,
particular star of the imperial admiration,
and there we're not wanting those who pre-
dicted her marriage with Napoleon. Still
the lover hesitated. He adored. he worship.

But the Countess was not discouraged. She
