The death of the Archbishop of Lyons, Mon
signor Bonald, leaves vacant the Primacy of the
Gauls. Some urge the 90 elevation > of Cardinal
Bonaparte to the vacancy, once filed by his rela-
tive Cardinal Fesch. But the friends of the dy-
nasty desire the young Cardinal to look after his
chances of succeeding Pho Mono. One trait of
the deceased prelate some years ago he issued

attention and respect. He is essentially soldier,
more at home in the arts of than of peace.
He has had several private interviews with the
Emperor, and the perfect understanding
exists between Paris and Vienna. Not stranger
to these matters of high politics is the securing
of the hand of an Arch-duchess for the young
Prince. But as mamma, the Empress Of Aus
tria, is expected here in April, she and Eugenie
will doubtless arrange all for the young couple.
The 90 Mordaunt Divorce " was too rich a
scandal not to receive every honor by the French
journals as might be expected, they laugh at the
whole affair. So much ado about nothing, " The
greatest proof of her ladyships insanity is to be
found in the confession of her hGiSonS TO her
husband A dame frau care would never COM
NIT such an indiScretion. She might have half a
dozen cavaliers in leech, under the eyes OF her
husband, but who could say Desdemona was
unchasted. She manages the matter classcally-
but after the manner of the Spartans, with whom
vice was only such, when exposed. No, Madame,
says like the Emperor EOrdre j'e'a repondS. "

have been SO happy, that they have their
twelfth child, and under these circumstances, beg
of him, to UithdrGto his blessing!
The Montpensier party are becoming very hope
full in Spain. In Paris the feeling is that the
Duke will be King before the close of 1870.

hopes of the Prince OF Asturia seem, by the
common consent of his partizans, to be postponed
till he attains his ma jority.
There is an old gentleman in Paris, whose only
occupation consists in securing copy of the bills

Winter has at last ceased to iinger in the lap
of spring. The latter is not coming, but has
come The trees are budding with railway
rapidity, nature is putting on her mantle OF green
and the ladies their spring toilettes. Sick
chambers are being shut up for the season-and
