correspondent of the London Chronicle, writing
on the 27th ult., gives the following partica,
lars - II
Private letters from Madrid speak of an affair
which took place in the capital on the fete day
OF ST. Eugene, and which has not resulted in an
affair OF honor. Saturday week being the fete
day Of ST. Eugenie-a saint not often heard of
till Louis Napoleon chose to give her renown
by crta ting an empress of the same name-the
Marquis de Turgot. the French ambassador OF
Madrid gave a ball. which was attended by all
that is brilliant in the Spanish capital, in the
shape Of nobility or diplomacy. Among the
guests were the Duke of Alba. the brother-in-
law of the Empress of the French.and Mr.. SOule
the son ofthe newly appointed Minister OF the
United States. In the course OF the evening, |
Mr.. Soule. junior while walking through the
ballroom with Mrs. Perry, the wife Of the
United States Secretary of Legation. overheard
the Duke of Alba (whO has recently been in
faris, and is therefore Judge OF ladies dress.}
make some contcmptuons remarks on the style
OF dress adopted by the wife of the American
Minister, mother of the young Soulc 1t ap-
pears that the lady had adopted costume
which is not quite a Ia mode de .Uadrd. in so
Tar that it covers her person up to the throat
whereas the most approved fashion among the
Madrid damsels is to exhibit many OF the
graces conferred upon them by nature as come
within the bounds of decency. The remark of
the Duke was" There goes Mary of Burgun-
eYnress;on loft ,bn IoJy S.;tb whom, no w.s
walking. and going up to the duke informed
him quill efda une camille. and accompanied
this piece of information with a--pnsh: Great
excitement ensued. and Mr.. Soule' father hav-
Ing ihteriered, took away the young man. VII"
subsequently addressed a challenge to the duke
which has not yet been accepted. the duke hay
ing found it convenient to represent the whole
affair as political-which it certainly is if the
dress OF the American Minister'S wife was not
strictly in fashion. AT all events. no fighting
had taken place at the period when the dcs-
patches left; but the affair was the topic OF
conversation everywhere. and the feeling is
that Jonathans position was preferable to that
OF the Hidalgo.
