EMPEROR AT ST.. CIoUD.-The Paris CORES
pondent Of the Herald thus describes the En-
peror and Empress of France at St. Cloud:
And now his Ma iesty is there in the zenith Of
his glory The Empress is with him, inhang
the sweet breezes that softly whisper through
those sheltered odireferous gardens, and is gain
ing health and strength every day. By her side
rcposes the infant heir of n name which under
his auspices, Napoleon londly hopes history
will point to with no less pride and admiration
than 10 that of his renowned predecessor.
The fortune of war has blessed his arms. A
peace of his own dictaIion reigns throughout
the world. And at this moment he plays the
host to two young princes, who look up 10 him
rs their Glmliel. as The most wonderful hero Of
their stock, and from whom they may well learn
instruction and wisdom. The Grand duke Maxi.
milan, Il youth of about twenty-five years of
age, ard brother Of the Emperor of Austria is
one, and prince Oscar Sweden, the grandson of
Bernadottc, is the other, who is but q few years
older. With them The Emperor loves to fling
aside the pomp snd ceremony that doth bcset
king.
In the morning all three are TO be seen among
the Emperor's roses, breathing the fragrant Ha-
vana, and chatting laughing, musing arm in arm,
rs if the government Of mankind were no part
of their vocation. Sometimes The Empress from
her couch, which has been wheeled to the win
dow Of the Saa d'Orangenic, lets fall sweet
words as the f=bled fairy did pearls-among
this trinity of princes; and sometimes the nurse,
with the heir appearant, is sent to add to the
domeslicity Of the enjoyment. In in instant
The enfant de France is caught by one or the
other. Now it is the Emperor who gives ross,
now prince Oscar, now the young Maximitian
till III last the nurse is obliged respectfully to
demonstrate, and the Fair Eugenic issues an
Imperial decree That The Emperor and his guests,
