FROM the PaflS correspondent OF the New
York Herald, we quote the following para
graphs which will very much interest and
amuse the ladies
How THE QUEEN ENJOYED HERSELF.
On the whole, the Queen may be said to
Ihave made favorable impression. She has
not, it is true, answered any of the ten thou
sand letters which have been sent her during
her visit, but She promises to do so hereafter,
and she has left a present of 25,000 francs for
the very poor of Paris. She has lauded the
beauty Of their city to the skies in whatever
company she has been; she has danced--co8l-
me une Jergeze--like very shepherdess at the
Hotel de Vile and Versailles; she has played
the woodland nymph, and has frankly taken
by the hand every minister, general, and states
man Of eminenee belonging to the Imperial
regime.
WHAT SHE DID.
She came on the wings of yictory-for the
announcement of the fall Of Sweaborg and her
arrival fell at one and the same time on the ear
of France. She has traversed the streets and
magnificent highways of Paris experiencing
one perpetual never tiring ovation. She has
visited its palaces, participated at its festivi-
ties, has stood among its mighty men of yalor
and has felt the earth tremble under the leagues
of warriors who shouted death to her ancestors,
and who now filed the air with accamations
for her welfare and prosperity. She has done
more; she has gone by the light of torches, to
the sepulchre of him who, under the reign of
her grandfather, andin The regency of her uncle,
was dragged among the desolate waters of the
Atlantic, and there chained to a rock exposed
to the blasts of pestlential winds and the gail
ing persecution Of a contemplate jailer, and
hunted and bounded to death in the short
Ispace Of five years, while yet in the zenith of
Imanhood and the maturity Of intellect. Great
God it was a scene to have brought Promethe-
an fire to his ashes, to witness the sovereign
of that England who had never relaxed her
grasp from his throat till she had manacled
him for life, dropping tear over his grave
And what moment for Napoleon the Third /!
Well may such man believe himselfthe child
of destiny, for whether in prison, exile, or as
sailing the barbarians Of the North, all things
seem to work together for good for him.
THE PRINCE OF WALES.
Was exceedingly pleased with an ingenious
toy, which represented the storming of Mem
elon. The Paris correspondent we quote, says;
The young Prince, whose countenance is
not particularly expressive on ordinary occa-
sions, clapped his hands with eager delight,
his ecstaey; and was about begging the super
intendent to po1ltd Ia machine encQTe, when
his royal mother leaning on the Fmperor's
arm, entered the room. He speaks French
perfectly, as does the Queen, and the whole
conversation is in that language.
THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH AND HEIR TO
BRITISH CROWN ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
The Emperor, like boy let out from school,
was enjoying himself in the gardens the Ely
see, Immediately under our noses, putting away
at a fragrant Havana, and having for his COM
panion the heir to the British Crown, who
from his animated gesture and golubility,
seemed to bc informing his Majesty of all the
wonders NJ Gioux's famous machinery had
impaired to him at st. Cloud. The Emperor
appeared delighted to hear him. and every
now and then took his cigar from his lips, and
told The boy some story which seemed to con-
yulse him with laughter. The Emperor of all
the French, and the heir apparent of proud
Britain appeared as happy as if the shadow of
greatness had never approached either of them
THE QUEENS KNEES cL&sPED BY VIVID ARAB.
At the ball at the Hotel de Vile an incident
occurred to the Queen which, notwithstanding
her we'll known self-possession, was near dis
her. After the quadrille, in which
her Majesty took part she resumed her seat
in the chair of state, when the Emperor avail
ed himself of the opportunity to dispatch an
aid de-camp for one of the Arab chiefs who
was present on the occasion. On his approach
his Majesty took him by the hand and formally
presented him to the Queen of England, when
occurred a really graphic scene. The chief
Immediately prostrated himself on the floor,
and embraced the knees of her Majesty. The
act was so instantaneous that there was no pos
e oil fbat boi
said is, that it was lucky the Queen of England
and the Moor were not found in such position
behind a curtain instead of before such blaze
of lights The chief dressed in his burnoose,
his extraordinary corded cap, buried his face
in her Maiesty's lap, and spread his arms and
hands on either side of her knees The Queen
bore it with great dignity, though when the
ceremony was over she turned upon she EN-
peror a meaning smile, which afterwards broke
out into a good humored laugh. Another
chief was afterwards presented, but his Majes-
ty took the precaution Of saying a few words
to the dark son Of the desert previously, and it
was observed that he simply bowed after the
European fashion.
ATTENTIONS OF THE EMPEROR TO THE QUEEN.
The E1nperor was never seen to more adj
vantage. The absence of the Empress, who is
expressly forbidden to take a share in any
thing which may endanger her new born hope
of presenting her husband with a ineal de-
scendant to the throne he has won with his
strong will and right arm, leaves him perfect
ly free to play the gallant. He chats with every
one in the liveliest tone and thoroughly gives
himself up to the OCCASION Her Majesty seems
really charmed with him, and laughs heartily
at his frequent good humored sallies She is
looking very well, and is remarkably gracious
