PARIS, December 22.-The grand wedding OF
the Princess Anna Murat with the Duke de
Mouchy came off, according TO programme, on
Monday last in the private chapel OF the Tuile
mes If the secret history OF this marriage could
be known do not think the day was joyous
one for the parties most concerned. There were
q series of most veXatious circumstances which
must have greatly chaied and tretted the En-
peror and Empress, as well as the bride and

the ceremony was going on did not think fit TO
grace either the chapel or the wedding breakfast
with their presence. The recent funeral OF the
King of Portugals relation, the King of the Bel
gians, could not have been the reason for their
absence, and, indeed, no such excuse is alleged

quette therefore, really did not require the King
and Queen OF Portugal to weep by themselves on
the Monday, instead of rejoicing with their inn
perial hosts on such momentOus occasion as
that of wedding in their family, solemuzed
under their own immediate patronage. No. the
true reason for their absence was that sympa-
thizing with Prince Napoleon and Princess Clo-
tide, who detest the Murats, and looking upon
the Duke de Mouchy as a scapegrace, they did
not choose to waive their royal rank and volun-
teeT to attend wedding between parties whose
rank was not high enough to render their pre-
sence absolutely necessary.
The next slight which the Court of the Tuile.
RES had to endure was very marked one from
Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotllde, who, as
you known, is sister to Queen Pix OF Portugal.
Prince Napoleon came to Paris from Switzerland
on the morning of the wedding; and, while 1t
was going on, the King OF Italy's proud daughter
(Clotilde) sat by herself in the Paals Royal, and
Prince Napoleon was following the corpse of
BiXio, the old republican deputy to the grave in
Mont Parnasse Cemetery. one of the Emperor's
objects in giving his cousin Anna Murat to the
Duke de MOuchy was TO ally himself to one of
the best old families in France; but the said old
family has done its utmost TO show that they
consider their relation in taking a MuTat is mar

family of which Mouchy represents younger

away from him, whereas be meant to make HIM
his heir. Several Faubourg St. Germain cousins
of the Mouchy family, whom it was hoped to
draw to Court by an imperial alliance have de-

cay was with difficulty prevailed upon to act as
one of Mouchy's witnesses. Prince Marc de
Beauveau, who was to have been the other was
prevented from coming by the sudden death of a
brother.
The Emperor has been so prodgal in wedding
presents to the bride that he is afraid TO let the
public know the amount he has spent, particu-
larly at time when so much excitement pre-

the brides Jewels alone cost the tremendous
sum of $780, 900, but the papers now say they
we're all given her by her husband-a statement
notoriously untrue. These glittering baubles,
so envied by the vulgar crowd, must be poor
consolation to the Princess, suppOslng her to be
sensible women, for the many drawbacks and
annoyances attending their marriage, some of
which have glanced at above.
Poor Anna Murat has now only taken the
Duke de Mouchy as pis d!Jer because her
beauty is so sadly damaged by the terrible car

Princess Clotilde attended the grand dinner
given to the King and Queen of Portugal at the
Tuileries on Tuesday. Rumors, however con-
tlnue to be conflicting as to whether the EN-,
peror and his cousin have made up the serious
quarrel which occurred between them in cons e.
quence of the Princes speech in Corsica Some
say he is going back to Switzerland directly:
others that he will stay in Paris for the winter,
and will resume the Presidency of the Universal
Exhibition of 1867.
Four horses belonging to the King of Italy
were burned to death on the Lyons Railway, two
days ago. The groom in charge of them also lost
his lite. 1t is supposed that he set fire to the
carriage by smoking in the horsebOX where
there was straw.
There have been some serious students rows
in the Quarter Latin this week, in consequence
OF the expulsion from the Ecole de Medicine of
nve medical students, accused OF having made
revolutionary comments and atheistical speeches
at the Llege Congress. The legality of their ex-
pulslon for words spoken in a foreign country is
questioned by very eminent lawyers, and the
point VIII be raised by appeal to the Council of
state. Meanwhile the students both Of the
legal and medical schools, sympathize with their
brethren. They accuse the Professors who
signed the decree of expulsion of having serVilely
toadied the Government, and they will not hear
them when they come forward to lecture The
schools have two or three times been cleared by
the police, and there is talk of their being shut
up for some months. A great many students are
in custody.
Yesterday the Correctional Police tried Pro-
lessor of Languages, thirty-ive years of age for

and assaulting the police, and he was sentenced

police were the aggressors. student was tried
