Louis Naronsorfls Manaraon.—lt has been stated, that Louis Napoleon insisted, as a condition of his marriage with the Princess Carolina de Vssa, that she should become a convert to the Roman Catholic Church. This is a mistake: the princess has boon a Roman Catholic for some yoars past; so that on this side there is so impediment to the marriage. On the other hand, the father of the President's intended has not yet given his consent; and her brother, who is in the Austrian service, has been heard to doolnrs, that no Vass can consent to an alliance with the house gfflgpolgon, who replaced the dyniisly of that nnine upon the throne ofswoden by one of his marglials.
