Volino Napoleon's Marriage. ?Tho srjourn ol the rx Krupress of tho Trench at Vienna occupies very much the attention of the political wotld. Tliey do not seem to impute it entirely to a wish for pleasure, but rather to some secret intentions on the part of the widow of Napoleon III. The belief which seoran to gain credence in the court circles is that she has gone there to make soundings as to tho possibility of a good marriage for her sou. As all is thought now to be at an end between him and the Princess Thyra, tho mother would rather he would marry with a Catholic, and looks for it in Austria. Tho Fmpcror and the Archduke Albert, and other high personages, have extended toward her the greatest courte y. Hull, no one wishes to understand certain illusions said tu bo made by her. Others Lhink that all this refers simply to a marriage with the daughter ol Count Andrussy. The "x Knipres-.' dclcnoo to all those reports is that it was her inU tiiion to visit Vienna incognito, inasmuch &j she thought, hersell forgotten in the world; thai pyii ics have no attractions foi her, tvuil that r.ho has no other desire than to remain quiet the remainder of her lilo. As re gaids hrr son ever being on the throne o! Franco, she says hts destiny, as well as the rift nl'tlic naiion, is in the hands of Cod, who knows what is in reserve for hitn; that she is too much oveiwclmed with uuhappioefn to occupy hciHslf with political projects. One cannot read tho sentiments she cxprcssiu with out uoders'an.ling the i'dbi- iine this woman exorcised when she was on llic thre.no ot France, by her kind hratf. her charms and her beany. ~_ 'One ol' iii:-; Seven Whnprks. -Pharos ? ; ii ^ . ... ...
