Fiteram.—The civil marriage of "his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III." and "her Excellency Mademoiselle Eugenie de Montijo, Countess de Teba," was celebrated on Saturday. As early as half-past eight in the morning, Mademoiselle Eugenie, accompanied by her mother, the Duke of Cambaceres, and the Spanish Minister the Marquis of Valdega- mae, left the Elysee, escorted by a squadron of cuirassiers, and proceeded to the Tuileries. On alighting at the Pavillion de Fiore, the Duke of 13assano and a suite of great functionaries received the bride, and con- ducted her in state, headed by Count Bacciocchi the Master of the Ceremo- nies, to the Salon de Famine, where the Emperor awaited her. Ho was surrounded by a host of ecclesiastical, military, and state dignitaries; from amongst whom he advanced to the door of the salon, and, cordially shak- ing hands with his bride, he conducted her to the seat of honour prepared for her. She was first presented to the dignitaries, and then led in pro- cession to the Salle des Mareschaux, where a brilliant crowd, sparkling with gold and diamonds, were assembled. At the end of the hall were two chairs of state ; one on the right for the Emperor, the other on the left for the future Empress. His Majesty took his seat, and then in- vited the Empress to be seated. On the Emperor's right hand stood Prince Jerome and the Imperial Princes ; behind the chair, the Countess of Montijo and the Minister of Spain ; on the left of the future Empress, the Princess Mathildo ; and in front, near the table, the Minister of State. This functionary, M. Fould, then advanced and said in a loud tone—" In the name of the Emperor." At these words, the Emperor and the future Empress both rose. M. Fould then continued- " She, Does your Majesty declare that you take in marriage her Ex- cellency Mademoiselle Eugenie de Montijo, Countess de Teba, hero pre- sent ?" The Emperor declared—" I declare that I take in marriage her Excellency Mademoiselle Eugenie de Montijo, Countess de What here pre- sent." The Minister of State then, turning to the bride, said—" Mademoi- selle Eugenie de Montijo, Countess de Teba, does your Excellency declare that you take in marriage his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III., here present ?" Her Excellency replied—" I declare that I take in mar- riage his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III., here present." The Minis- ter of State then pronounced the following words—" In the name of the Emperor, of the Constitution, and of the law, I declare that his Majesty Napoleon III., Emperor of the French, by the grace of God and the national will, and her Excellency Mademoiselle Eugenic de Montijo, Countess de Ube, are united in marriage."

The ceremony of signing the registry of the marriage followed ; the Emperor and Empress writing as they sat, and the witnesses standing, according to their rank. Then, in the Theatre, a cantata, from the pen of M. Wry, the Court poet, was chanted to the music of M. Robert ; and this being concluded, the new Empress was escorted back in state to the Elysee.

The marriage-ecclesiastical was performed on Sunday, at the church of Notre Dame. Paris was early astir on Sunday morning. The regular soldiery, horse and foot, took up their positions along the line of the pro- cession; the National Guards were called out on the same duty ; and soon, from the Tuileries to Nfitre Dame, the streets glistened with bay- onets and swords. Marching along from all quarters came the deputa- tions from the trades and workpeople, each headed by a great banner, destined- to await, in the garden of the Tuileries, the coming and going of the bridal procession. About two hundred old veterans from the In- valids* each holding a tricolor, sad applauded more heartily than aught day hobbled along. Windows began to fill, and roofs were eovered,. and every corner of the streets had its full complement of spectators. Vene- tian masts, pennons, bannerols, orifiazames, planted, by officials*, fluttered at every turn. As the anxious ticket-holder approached Notre Dame, he saw a long queue of expectants similar to himself, in the gayest costumes,. already formed. The old cathedral architecture was shrouded with de- corations. A wooden construction had been raised, in three compart. menta, over the three entrances, painted in the medluval fashion, to match the ediffee. Long green velvet draperies floated to the wind over the en- trances, and above them flags of all colours ; the old towers themselves were clothed with gold brocade - a gigantic gilt statue of Christ stood be- tween them; and a large gilt eagle with outstretched wings poised en.each summit, as if preparing, said the programme, "to take their flight for the four cardinal points' ! The lowest part of the external decoration, which the eye sought last, were the crimson velvet golden-fringed hangings near the entrances, and the three lofty flag-staftb with their golden-edged tricolors dependant.

The dbors were opened at ten, and the long undulating crowd flowed in. The scene which met their gaze was magnificent beyond expectation. Ten thousand wax candles, suspended from the roof; dazzled the eyes. The pillars were swathed from plinth to capital in crimson velvet, and each capital bore a gilt shield and a gilt eagle. Above these hung crim- son draperies fringed with gold and imitation ermine ; and still higher, what may be called a green velvet valiance, studded with bees, and ins scribed with an enormous " N " and " E ' was seen, intermingled with festoons of flowers. The pillars next the nave, on either side, were clothed in crimson and studded with bees. Hanging from the ceiling were the banners of the eighty-six Departments, of various dyes and de- corations. A temporary altar had been erected just where the transepts leave the choir, and over this stretched a crimson canopy lined with what seemed ermine, and surmounted with the omnipresent eagle. Beyond this, in the unoccupied part of the cathedral, there were lights also, so

that the lustre of the place seemed to have no end. The transepts were fitted up for the Senate, the Council of State, the Ministers, the Corps Diplomatique, and the Corps Legislatif. Ender the canopy were placed two stately chairs eovered with green velvet, standing on a carpet imi- tating ermine.

Whilst all awaited the arrival of the Emperor and Empress, other arri-

vals did not go unmarked. Among them were General Lebreton, CardinalDonnet, the Pope's Nuncio, leading the Corps Diplomatique, the Duke of

Osuna and the Marquis of Bedmar, two of the witnesses of the civil mar-

riage, the American Minister, the Decembrists in a body—M. earlier, M. Rommu, author of " Le Spectre Rouge," Count de Monty, and General Schramm ; the Duke of Brunswick, with his diamond.dusted pelisse, and Bou Maza the Ara o, were also conspicuous.

The Empress Eugenie was half an hour behind the appointed time in arriving at the Tuileries ; and the cortege did not start until a quarter past twelve, when a salute of 101 guns from, the Invalides announcedthe fact to all Paris, Preceded by dragoons, the- bridal party followed in three divisions, each separated by dragoons;. then the Emperor's carriage —the same used by Napoleon, Charles Dix, and Louis Philippe, and con- taining only the bride and bridegroom. The carriage was entirely sur- rounded by plate-glass windows, so that the occupants were distinctly visible. On the roof was a huge imperial crown, of which the fresh gilding contrasted strangely with the rest of the carriage, which told a tale that excited remarks among the spectators which were not altogether complimentary to the scene of which they were the witnesses. The car- riage was drawn by eight superb English horses, with postilions. The harness was of silk and gold, and on the head of each of the horses was an immense plume of white ostrich feathers. Behind the carriage was a cluster of five footmen in state liveries, besides which a considerable num- ber of runners in similar livery followed on foot." As it passed, the people took off their hats and cheered, but not heartily—indeed the reception was chilling - and thus- the procession advanced to Mitre Dame.

The entry, as seen from within, was striking. We copy one of the descriptions entire. "About half-past twelve, some of the deputy-chamberlains of the palace appeared in their scarlet uniforms, and immediately the drums beat a salute and the trumpets sounded a flourish. Marshal Valliant entered the moment after ; and then came a number of ladies in dresses of the brightest colours and the richest materials ; the Princess Mathilde leading the way, wearing a pink velvet robe, with train behind, and basque according to the present mode Madame de Mora* immediately mmediately behind, in a dress of blue velvet ; and then the several ladies of honour, all in morning dresses of dif- ferent colours, and all wearing white ostrich feathers in their bonnets. The eye had scarcely time to take in a few details, so rapidly the bright vision swept by. The moment after the Ministers entered ; M. de Persigny coming last, aaif kept back by some little delay.

" The clergy then proceeded down the aisle, with the Archbishop of Paris at their head, to meet the Emperor and the Empress. At five minutes to one the Emperor and Empress arrived ; and having been offered the mor- sel of the true cross to kiss by the Archbishop, four ecclesiastics held a rich dais over the heads of the Imperial pair, and the procession advanced up the church. Marshal Magnan and the Duke de Bassano led the way, fol- lowed by Marshal de St. Arnaud and the Duke de Cambaceras. Then came the Emperor, leading the Empress by the hand, he advancing on the right. The Empress was exceedingly pale, but perfectly composed. She looked neither to the right nor to the left, and advanced steadily. She wore /Lilian of white velvet, epilmle, with rather'large basque. A veil of point d'Angleterre flowed from underneath the small crown sparkling with diamonds. The front of her dress and the basque behind also shone with the same rich ornaments. The Emperor was dressed in the uniform of a general officer, with high boots and white inexpressibles. He had on the grand.coller of the Legion of Honour which had belonged to Napoleon and the collar of the Golden Fleece which had been suspended from the neck of Charles V., and which the Queen of Spain had. sent to him. Then followed an immense mass of uniforms of eves,' description, until the eye- was dazzled with so much gold' and silver embroidery.

"The Emperor and Empress took their places on the throne. On the right of the altar, the five Cardinals were seated ; and further down the Marshals of France in full costume, and holding their batons of command. The church was crowded in every part, and from the remotest corner of the nave and high galleries hundreds in vain tried to catch even a passing glimpse of the ceremony. As soon as their Majesties placed themselves on the throne, the Archbishop officiating saluted them, and the ceremony of marriage then commenced. "The Archbishop, addressing the Emperor and Empress, said, Do you present yourselves here to contract marriage in presence of the Church ?' The Imperial pair answered, Yes, Monsieur? The silence at this moment was so profound, that these words might be heard' throughout the spacious edifice. After these words, the first almoner of the Emperor, preceded by a master of ceremonies, advanced to deposit the pieces of gold, with a ring in a plate on the altar, and afterwards presented them to the Archbishop for the benediction. The Archbishop then turning towards the Emperor said-

' Sire, you declare, acknowledge, and swear, before God, and before hie Holy Church, that you now take- Mademoiselle de Montijo, Comtesse de Ube, here present, for your wife and legitimate spouse?' The Emperor answered

with a firm and sonorous voice, Yes, Monsieur.' The Prelate continued— `You promise and swear to be faithful in- all things as a faithful husband should be to his spouse, according to the commandment of God ?' The Em- peror again responded, 'Yes, Monsieur.' The Archbishop, then taming to the Empress, addressed the sameinterrogatories to her Majesty, and received

like affirmative answers. The Archbishop then gave the pieces of gold and the ring to the Emperor, who presented them to his bride, with the worths `Receive the signs of the marriage-covenant between you and me.' The Empress then handed. the gold pieces to the Duchesse de Damao, her maid of honour ; after which, the Emperor placed the ring on the finger other Majesty, with the usual' words. The Archbishop then, making the sign of the-cross, said; 'In nomine Petrie at Filii at Spiritus Sancti.' The couple then knelt; each holding the right hand- of the other; and the Archbishop, extending his hands over them, pronounced the sacramental formula, 'Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac,' &a The Emperor and Empress then rising were concluded back to the throne, The Gospel was next read ; and afterwards the sacred book was taken to their Majesties to kiss. After the 'Pater' their Majesties went to the foot of the altar and knelt ; the first chaplain of the Emperor and another Bishop extended above their heads a canopy of silver brocade, and kept it so extended dming.the °raison. During the epis- copal benediction and the reading of the Gospel, the choir chanted several times the Domino salvum.' The Archbishop then presented holy water to their Majesties, and commenced the Te Deems,' which was taken up by the orchestra and the singers. After the 'Te Deum,' the great officers of the crown, the princes, the ministers, and other persons who arrived in the cortege, resumed their places, and their Majesties descended from the throne."

The passage back was made in the same order as before. In the even- ing, the Government offices were illuminated, but very few private. houses.

The Emperor and Empress left Paris for St. Cloud on Sunday, after- noon. They were accompanied by Prince Jerome and his son, and the Princess IllathiMe ; with the Duke de Bassano, General do Montebello, and their wives. But Jerome and Mathilde returned on Monday to Paris. On Tuesday, the Emperor and Empress dined at Versailles ; and the Emperor attended a Council on Wednesday, when his bride also-came to Paris.

The marriage has been followed by a series-of fetes given by the various Ministers at their hotels.

Much has been said of the charity of Mario Antoinette, Josephine, and the Duchess of Orleans ' . and the Fmpress Eugenie seems disposed to rival them. By Imperial: decree she has been named President of the Lying-in Societies ; and has bestowed upon them 100;000 francs, out of 250,000 francs given her by the Emperor as a marriage-offering. The re- maining 150,000 francs are to be expended in supplying additional bede to the Hospice dee Incurables. Some personal incidents connected with the marriage may be men- tioned. The Princess Marie of Baden, who is Duchess of Hamilton, and cousin of the Emperor, left the Tuileries on Saturday before the mar- riage act was signed, because a place befitting her rank had not been re- served for her. The Duke and Duchess also went to the ecclesiastical celebration at NOtre Dame, but declined to take certain places in the Im- perial gallery with the " civil family" of the Emperor. Several aristo- cratic dames, heated with scrambling over benches, were disgusted at finding some of the:best seatsecoupied by the great actresses.of the day- Ozy, Brohan, Esther, Constance Judith—the last a mistress of Prince Napoleon.Joromel Several members of the Legislative Corps even, and their young lady friends, could not get places. It is said that at Nifitre Dame on Saturday, the Grand Master of the Cere- monies found he had lost the wedding-ring ; that he borrowed anotherfronr one of the Princesses ; that it was not until the Archbishop had blessed-the borrowed ring-that the Grand Master mustered courage to in- form the Emperor of his mishap. When told, Louis Napoleon; quietly drew from his pocket a box which contained the wedding-ring and a fine medal, ornamented' with diamond's, and bearing the names of the Empress and of himself and the- date of the marriage. The Archbishop then blessed both the ring and the medal thus produced. There is a report that the Queen of Spain intends to present the Em- press with a magnificent crown ; and that the Duchess of Alba. and Berwick sends her eight handsome English horses. nitre Dame has been kept open in order that the multitude might see the magnificence which surrounded their Emperor on his wedding- day. At noon on Tuesday, there was a line of persons a quarter of a mile in length, waiting for their turn. The decorations of the Hold de Ville also attracted thousands of visitors.

The Itoniteur states that the amnesty will include three thousand persons involved in the insurrections following the coup d'etat. The llioniteur says there now remain only twelve hundred prisoners.

The Marquis de Lavalette has been recalled from his post as French Minister at Constantinople. The reason alleged for this recall is, the un- favourable result of his blundering interference to promote French and diminish British influence, especially in attempting to prevent the con- struction of the Egyptian isailway, and obtain for France the Protectorate of the Holy Places. The latter attempt threw Turkey into the hands of Russia, and expelled the ablest Minister of the Porte, Reschid Pacba. The latest feat of Lavalette was to demand an audience of the Sultan for Abd- elsRader as a _French subject. This would have been an indirect ad- mission of the right of France to .Algeria, which the Porte has never acknowledged. Banos Bream, museful official;. succeeds N. de Lava- lette.

A furious pamphlet has been. published by Frederick Billet, a provincial advocate and Legitimist, breathing war and extermination against Eng- land, It is styled Lettres Franquos," addressed "to Napoleon III." The Paris correspondent of the Daily Neuss reports a remarkable con- versation which he avers occurred lately between an ex French Minis- ter, one of the most eminent statesmen in Europe, whose name he is not at liberty to mention, and two other political personages."

" The statesman in question expressed himself nearly in the following terms—' It is a remarkable fact, that the Republic neither brought us war nor Socialism, and the present Government, calling itself the saviour of France, will give us Socialism to begin with. It exists already in our finances by the bank mobiliere and the bank fonoiere.; and the presumption and want of foresight of Government is hurrying us on speedily and inevitably to war with all Europe, against whom we are very likely to prove defence- legs: One of the parties to this conversation, who is himself almost an Im- perialist, replied= In this you are right ; and it must be admitted that, for the sake of appearing to make reductions in the war budget, the Government is at this moment consuming its stores.' The statesman continued—'Yes, whilst all the strong places of Austria and Russia are armed, and they have not even so much to do as to put up the palisades, which are already lying ready in the trenches.' " The election of the Presidents of the Cercle de Plinion Clah and the Jockey Club have been. made the occasion for a strong display of Anti- Bonapartist feeling. In the former, M. do Crouseithes has been deposed, and a Henri de Siren substituted. M. de Crouseilhes was a Legitimist who had leaned towards Bonapartism. In the Jockey Club, M. Dela- marre, a renowned Decembrist, has been ejected,. in. the teeth of all the influence of such partisans as Edgar Ney and Do Morny.

Sramr.—Nothing has occurred to alter the position of parties. The Ministers still rely on obtaining a majority at the elections; and it is re- marked that their candidates are everywhere the favourites of the clergy. Narvaez is either ill or shamming indisposition,. at Biarritz, near Bay- onne. He is said to have pretended illness in excuse for not proceed- ing to Vienna when he received the latest royal order to begone. An application to bring him to trial has been rejected by the Council of Ministers.

The Espana of Madrid is in ecstasies at the choice of Napoleon the Third. Some of the comments of the Spanish journals are Ludicrously sublime. Every sentence of the fallowing extract was printed as a se- parate paragraph in the original. "From this day forwards the delicious Granada may add to its titles of y, that the enchanting Empress of the French had seen the light for the

t time in its Eastern precincts. Maria Eugenin de Guzman and Porto- carrero, who has lived among us from her most tender year'', whom we have seen grow up and shine with pride among the fairest of our court, gives her band to Napoleon III. The news of this singular event awakens in the heart of Spaniards a sentiment of joy difficult to explain. It is a Spaniard who is about to give to the Imperial throne of a great and powerful nation the splendour of her grace and of her beauty. It is in Paris, the capital of Eue rope, where the Castilla" type achieves the palm of beauty. It is that Countess of Teba who treated us with such affable goodness, and made agree- able our assemblies with so much wit and talent, who is about to present herself to her age and to posterity, clothed with the purple of the Ctesars, to share the high destinies of him who is at the same time the heir to the man of the age and the tamer of anarchy. It is our sympathetic countrywoman who is the-chosen to reign over all the social eminences of a great people. It is Iberian grace which is about to preside over the glory of the sciences, the luxury of the arts, the power of industry, of civilization—in a word,- of France."

Them follow glowing paragraphs on the heroic ancestors of the lady : but one is omitted—her father, who fought. for Joseph Bonaparte, against his country, in the Peninsular war!

Iw..—The Government of the Pope encounters great resistance in the collection of a new tax on industry. So strongly was this opposed, that the Bolognese had even submitted to implore the intercession of the Austrian commander, who suspended the taxgathering until he had eons- umnicated with Rome.

There is a project on foot at Naples to establish a line of steamers be- tween that city and the United States. As an instance of the worse than inefficiency of the Neapolitan Police, it is related that the- composer Mer- eadarde, lately returning from the first performance of a new opera, be- dizened with jewellery, was robbed in the streets. Whilst he was stating his case to the. Commissary of Police, he suddenly exclaimed, pointing to two policemen, " Why there are two of the robbers!"

MONTENEGRO.—Ferocity, as a matter of course, is one characteristic of the Montenegrin war. Osmar Pacha was defeated in a night attack on the 15th Jannery, on. the plain. behind Scutari. The Montenegrine car- ried off seventeen standards, eighty horse-loads of gunpowder' sixty horses, many arms, and the heads of three hundred and seventeen Turks. Other successes and reverses are recorded. The Turks have inflamed their Mahomedan subjects in Bosnia. and Herzegowina. It is thought probable that the Montenegrins must succumb ; but at present the Turks have been everywhere beaten.

In the mean time, Austria has sent. Count Lineage as. Ambassador to Constantinople. His instructions are said to be these- " I. Austria offers her kind offices and her intervention to reestablish the status quo ante. 2. Austria, in her quality of protecting power of the border Christians, demands a cessation of the persecutions and arbitrary acts of which the poor rayahs have been hitherto victims in the Tarkish provinces. 3: In case, however, the Turkish Government should decline-to comply with this request, Count Linange is instructed to inform the Ottoman Porte of the firm resolution of Austria to intervene solely for the protection of the Chris- tians against all persecution and oppression, but in no manner to-influence the relations between Turkey and Montenegro." Grahowa has been stormed and sacked, and the Waiwode is either taken or he has escaped into Austrian territory. It is currently reported that Tellachich has been appointed to command the Austrian forces in that quarter ; and that a Russian corps, upwards of fifty thousand strong, has been ordered to march into the Danubian Provinces.

Inane.—Fuller accounts from the East have now reached us ; and the facts they disclose do not at all lessen the extent of the Pegu disaster. When General Godwin left Pegu, there was, it appears, a Burmese force numbering about 10,000 men stationed. at Shoygyn, within an easy dis- tance of the town, under Moung. Yam& Leung, the King's brother-in- law. Nevertheless, General Godwin placed a garrison of only 400 Na- tive troops, with a small supply of ammunition, in the pagoda ; and had scarcely got out of sight when a strong Burmese force, with scaling-lad- ders, advanced against the town, and were driven off witlisome loss. On the 3c1December they made a similar attack, with a like result ; and after that the attacks are described as "incessant." Major Hill sent off suc- cessively four messengers to Rangoon; but as no precautions had been taken to keep up a communication, he was not sure that a single one had reached the Commander-in-chief. The first success of the Burmese was the capture of the ammunition, sent by boat, and guarded by twenty Se- pays. These gallant fellows fought as long as they could ; four were killed and several wounded ; and then they made a run for Pegu, which some succeeded in reaching. Major Hill sallied out in search of the re- mainder ; he found six " tied up for execution," and the havildar lying headless beside them. Meanwhile, one of the expresses had reached Ge- neral Godwin ; and he despatched 150 Marines in the men-of-war's boats, and 300 British soldiers in the Nerbudda steamer. The latter grounded; the former were repelled with a loss of six men killed and twenty-seven wounded, including two officers. As soon as this was known, the "most energetic measures" were taken. Headed by General Godwin and Ge- neral Steele, 1600 men set out for Pegu in boats and steamers, and 700 by land. The result is known. Major Hill had only lost three men ; but his ammunition was nearly gone ; and had the succours been delayed .he would have had only the bayonet to rely on. The annexation of the occupied territory had not been proclaimed, but the whole administrative staff had been appointed; and Mr. Colvin is openly named in the journals as the future Viceroy or Commissioner.

The Indian journals loudly demand the recall of General Godwin. UNITED Sirs.—The Pacific, with papers from New York to the 22d January, arrived at Liverpool yesterday.

The Cuban question had come before the Senate on the 18th ; when General Cass made a speech in favour of acquiring Cuba either by pur- chase or action ; and Mr. Mason took an opposite view. The debate was adjourned to the 25th.

The House of Representatives had refused, by a very large vote, to suspend the rules in order to permit Mr. Marshall to present his; resolu- tion providing for the appropriation of a fund of 10,000,000 dollars, in order to enable General Pierce to meet any emergency that might arise during the recess of Congress.

All the provinces of Mexico but throe were in revolt. It is more than conjectured that Santa. Anna is at the bottom of this movement.

WEST Iwares.—The La Plata reached Southampton with the West Indian and Pacific mails on Wednesday, with a clean bill of health. She left Jamaica on the 11th and St. Thomas on the 19th January. The news that the Derby Government had proposed no measures for Colonial relief had caused great indignation in Jamaica. That Govern- ment had deluded them : all the pretences of Protection had been thrown aside : it was a cruel inconsistency to admit Colonial distress and refuse the remedy of protective duties. The House of Assembly was to meet on the 25th January, and there was the old talk of refusing the supplies. From the other islands the only subject worth notice is the pretty general abatement of the yellow fever. The Dauntless, stationed at Bar- bados, had lost altogether seventy-three men and sixteen officers by that deadly scourge.
