FRANCE.—Louis Napoleon has at length found a bride; not a princess, to be sure, but a beauty and a countess. He is going, we are told, to marry for love. Our readers may have observed, that in the account of the state ball, last week, the Countess of Teba was mentioned as a Spanish beauty who was much noted. She is the daughter of a Spanish grandee, the late Duke of Penamando; who married, when plain Senor de Montijos, a Miss Kirkpatrick from Scotland. But the elder brother of Sefior de Montijos died, and he acceded to the dukedom of Penamando. The young lady who has captivated the Emperor is described as a beauty with light hair, dark Spanish eyes, and fair complexion. She is about twenty-five years of age, and is one of the most charming young ladies in Paris. Her elder sister is the present Duchess of Alba and Berwick; the wife of a descendant of James the Second's famous bastard son.
