THE FEELING IN THE TUILERIEs --Phe
Emperor is said to he as impatient as a
schoolboy to depart. The Bonaparte family
are divided greatly concerning the measure.
Old Jerome and the Princess Mathilde are
both of them loud in their objections; the
former has always experienced a sort Of SER
vile jealousy at every attempt made by his
nephew to initiate the great Napoleon and
he is never sparing in bis chucklang sarcasm
whenever an expression drops from the En-
peror's lips betraying the one wish at his
heart-that Of emulating his uncle in any
particular measure which may be on the ta-
pts. The Princess Mathilde is so decided
ly averse to this wild goose departure, as she
calls it, that day or Two ago an open rup-
ture with her imperial relative was the con-
sequence. In the intemperance of tongue
to which contradiction will give rise, even
with the greatest Of her sex, the Princess is
said to have exclaimed; "Let him alone,
he will meyer be happy till he has shown
himself in his paata1oa garance." The
thrust must have told for the Emperor,
who has forgiven the Princess many slip
of the lip, did not forgive her this one, but
grew angry outright. AS the Emperor once
said himself, none of his own family could
bear the thought of his seeking glory at the
cannon's mouth but Prince Napoleon. It
is certain that this jolly individual has been
all along very urgent for the war, and not at
all adverse at first to his cousins rushing to
glory; but his sentiments arc said to be
quite altered since he has been appointed to
accompany the expedition. He. evidently
thought to have remained behind for the
better defenap of Paris, but the Emperor,
pas 81 Jctc, does not mean to lose sight of
his relation, and has his own private rea-
sons for judging that Paris will be all the
safer without the presence of Prince Napo-
leon.


The health of his Majesty has given him
so much uneasiness, as connected with the
expedition on which he has set his heart,
that, having consulted all his doctors, and
finding that the last one, even Triat, the
professor of gymnastics, had expressed an
unfavorable opinion concerning his depar-
ture at the present moment. On Friday, on
leaving the chapel, he sent suddenly for the
black doctor, of whose doings Paris is at the
present moment quite full. 1t is said that
the black man objects entirely to his leaving
Paris till the 18th of next month, when the
remedies he has exhibited will have had
their due effect.


FEELING IN THE PALACE OF VIENNA
The war upon which the young Emperor Of
Austria is now entering has been neither
suddenly nor rashly advised 1t seems that
from the very first the Emperor's mother,
the Archduchess Sophia, has entertained a
decided repulsion towards the Imperial fam
lily of France, and has even been sometimes
persiRec, by her own family for what has
been called her old fashioned prejudice
The Archduchess is woman of the most
powerful intellect, and still holds her rule
over her son as firmly as in the days of his
minority. Her penetration is proVerbial ;
and she still consults with Metternich upon
all subjects connected with the interests Of
the Austrian crown. Ever since the mar.
riage of Prince Napoleon the suspicious Of
the lady have been aroused; and at length,
by dint of artifce and money, of faith in
themselves and the want of it in others, the
experienced pair have succeeded in obtain.
