Royalty.

/. The Paris correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bune says:
new measure which is being adopted at the
Court of Napoleon III, causes no little chagrin to
that infatuated faction Of bis Majesty's supporters
who still claim to be Democrats in principle, and
that the present d.nasty of France had its origin
and finds its strength in the Democratic element.
The Emperor, in the face ofhis repeated voluntary
pledges of devotedness to the great principles OF
reform and progress which so emphatically char
ac.erize the present day, and under the shadow OF
that proud monument to modern greatness, aud
modern civilization which he has himself reared In
the Champs Elysees, is at this moment engaged on
a plan for the reorganization OF his court on the
model Of that OF Louis XVI, the last of the Bour-
bon Kings before the Revolution of 1859, and the
last representative of those brilliant buffooneres Of
ROYALTY, which Il was hoped had been repudiated
forever at the Court of France. Instead of the
present organization OF the households of the En-
peror and Emprese, an army OF nobly born cham
berains and pages are TO be attached TO their I'M
perial personages, and 70 perform the interior
and exterior duties now performed by ladies' and
gentlemen bearing various titles, and by domestics
The chamberlans, in the rich uniform of the
ancient courts, will perform, among other duties,
that Of assisting his Majesty to bed in the evening
aud TO rise in the morning, one being charged
with the care Of his Msjestys clothes, another Of
his beard another Of his cafe a Ia ponce, &C.;
while at dinner the chamberlains viii precede their
Msjesties in procession to the dining room, where,
opening to the right and left, and allowing their
Majesties to pass in and be seated, they will take
their places as walters upon the imperial party.
Il viii be, of course, the favored few Of these
gentlemen, the most nobly-born, who will be
designated for the very private and particular
functions just mentioned. The pages, fewer in
number than the chsmbcrlains, and selected by
their high birth and beauty person, viii perform
TIE duty Of walking behind their Majesties in
proct ssion to carry, either actually or allegor-
cally, his Msjesty's hat and cane, and her Majes-
