the street, the whole town, men, women,
and children, turning out to witness the

at Paris furnishes in his last letter. a rare
dish of gossip, the staple of which being
nothing more or less than that Empress
Eugene is TO be repudiated by Emperor
Napoleon, for "high political reasons" which
in undiplomatic language means that no is
sue has yet blessed their union. and conse-
quently there is no immediate reason for
suPposing that the French Dynasty will be
transmitted in direct line.
YANKEE EETERPRIsE IN THE CRiMEA.
The Boston Times noticed the shipments

fms, hermetically sealed. and containing all
sorts af delicacies for the wounded and
the weary. So after administering to bod
i!y wants and enjoyment, these agreeable
evidences Of the inevitable fate Of man car
be turned to their legitimate account, and
carry home for decent interment, the moul-
deriug bodies Of the victims Of sword and
djsepse. BE.
