The Courier de Marseilles states that the Sultan has attended the solemnization of the marriage, according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, between the son of M. F. with the daughter of the Prince of B.
The report had long been spread that the Sultan intended to be present at this ceremony, but no one would believe that a thing so unprecedented could take place. The Sultan, however, arrived at the nuptial mansion without ceremony, escorted by two horsemen only, followed by a few domestics. He was received with gratitude by the clergy and the family of the bride and bridegroom. A throne was prepared for him, and, after he had taken coffee and smoked the sacramental pipe, the ceremony commenced. His Majesty stood up the whole time, saying that he ought not to hear the name of the Almighty God called upon in any other position.
