has at length determined 10 resort 10 publicity as
the resdiest means of accomplishing the object Of
bis heart, viz: a matrimonial alliance with o young
and beautiful girl.
The noble Duke, we are informed, has passed
the heyday Of youth, but his hair still appears
black and glossy, his teeth of ivory wilderness, his
cheek tinged with the bright hue Of youth, his
form rounded and graceful. The scandal loving
roues Of the Jockey Club, where he is often seen.
assert that be is padded, laced and rouged; that
his hair is from Deschamps and teeth from Fattet's
and that he is turned of 70. Whatever may be
the truth of this statement, certainly no more
youthful figure can be seen in Paris than that oil
the Duke when he rides Of an afternoon in the
Bots de Boulogne, or gaily s%aunters, with other
lions, along the Boulevard. Blu, the chief attrac-
lion of this noble matrimonial aspirant is his ener
nous wealth, consisting Of castles in Spain and
plantations 10 the Island of Cuba. From en- ad-
vance copy Of his advertisement, which he intends
to publish extensively in this country, we are ena-
bled to state that sealed proposals. will be received
from the fair bidders for this magnificent partt
until the lst Monday in May, 1860.
Although open to the world, American ones are
particularly solicited. Candidates over eighteen
years Of age need not present them selves. The
bids must contain the exact name, age. place oil
birth, and description of the accomplishments and
disposition Of the aspirants, as we'll as specifca-
tions as to the color Of hair, complexion, height,
weight, &c. Each proposal shall be accompanied
by a large and correct photograph likeness of the
bidder.
The Duke promises, among other brilliant in
ducements, that after full examination, the young
lady selected shall be accompanied to Paris by
himself and four groomsmen belonging TO the frs,
families Of Spain; that her trusseau shall consis,

the fortunate fair one shall enjoy pin money to thu
amount of 800, 900 annually, besides q hotel il

brilliant equipages, and boxes at the several ope
ras. The ceremony will be performed at Notr,
Dame by the Archbishop Of Paris, and it Is ever
limited that the Emperor will give the bride away
among an immense concourse of invited guests
But to crown all, the whole proceedings will b,
infinitely chronicled, for the qualification of tn,
young lady's parents and friends, by the press boil
in England and America.
We would have done our fair countrywomen OF
act of injustice had we withheld from them for
moment the publication Of such highly interesting
information. The method of c~ourtship thus adop
ted may somewhat offend antiquated notions o
propriety. but in our practical age it is. perhaps
the safest mode of arriving at the object in view
The attractions thus held out to the fair candidates
for matrimony may not be sufficient to insure do
mstic bliss, but what appears to have latterly be
come infinitely more desirable, they will secure t.
the happy bride unlimited wealth, admirable OF
portunities for display. and a probability of cast

capital.
