On Friday great preparations were made in Paris for the
reception of the King of Sardinia. At the railway station
detachments of Foot Chasseurs and of the Line kept the
ground, and the guards of honour within the court were
selected from the Grenadiers and Voltigeurs of the Imperial

over the door of the waiting-room, which had been trans-
formed into a splendid.saloon, hung with red velvet, fastened
up with gold. Clusters of flags belonging to the allied nations,

At half-past twelve Prince Napoleon left the Palais Royal
in a state carriage, preceded by two outriders wearing the im-
perial livery. Marshal Magnan, Colonel Fleury, the Prefects
of the Seine and Police, and a great number of public func-
tionaries, civil and military, awaited Prince Napoleon at the
railway station. The members of the Council of Administra-
tion, the station masters, and all the employes were drawn up
within.

At one o'clock precisely the arrival of the royal train was
announced, and in five minutes after the locomotive, decked
out with the Sardinian colours, stopped; the drums beat to
arms, and the full band of the Guides, who were stationed at
the entrance of the reception room, struck up the Marche de
Savoie. The King, who wore the uniform of a colonel of
hussars, descending from the carriage, was received by Prince
Napoleon, whose hand he shook warmly, and replied to the
words of welcome of the Prince. The royal cortege entered
the waiting room ; the whole of the persons who filled it rose,
and received his majesty with acclamations of " Vive le Roi !"
and " Vive le Prince Napoleon I" which were taken up and
repeated by the crowd which thronged the court of the station
and the approaches to it. The carriages soon drove up in
order at the entrance, and the King and his attendants
entered them. Prince Napoleon and his majesty entered
the same carriage, which was preceded by four outriders
wearing the imperial livery, and the whole of the
cortege began to move in the following order :—A
squadron of Guides, with the band ; three court car-
riages, preceded each by three outriders ; the Royal car-
riage, preceded by outriders, and followed by a squadron of
Cent-Gardes. Colonel Fleury rode at the right, and Colonel;
Ney at the left, and a squadron of the Cuirassiers of the Im-
perial Guard closed the procession. Though rain was falling,
the crowd was considerable along the line through which the
King passed, and received the Royal visitor with warm accla-
mations. The cortege soon after entered the Place du Car-
rousel
by the passage of the Pavillon de Rohan, and entered
the court of the Tuileries by the triumphal arch. The drums
were beating to arms, the troops presented arms, and the ac-
clamations became louder and louder as the King approached
the Palace.

The apartments of the Pavillon Marsan are those occupied
by the King during his stay at the Tuileries; and the aides-
de-camp, orderly officers, and physician occupy the next apart-
ments.

The arrangements for the King of Sardinia's visit to
England are now definitively settled. His Majesty, accom-
panied by Count Cavour, President of the Council ; the
Chevalier Massimo d'Azeglio, Aide-de-Camp of the King and
Ex-Minister ; the Duke Pasqua, Prefect of the Palace ;
Baron Nigra, Superintendent of the King's Household ;
Major-General Count Morozzo della Rocca, First Aide-de-
Camp of the King : Major-General Marquis d'Angrogna,
Aide-de-Camp of the King ; Major-General the Chevalier
Carderina, Aide-de-Camp of the King; Count Cigala, Colonel
of Cavalry ; the Chevalier Persano, Captain of the Navy,
Commander of the Port of Genoa ; Count de Robillant,
Captain of Artillery, Officer of Ordnance of the King; Count
Valperga Barone, Officer of Ordnance of the King ; and
Professor Riberi, First Physician of the King, will leave Paris
on the 29th, arrive in London on the 30th of this month, and
thence proceed to Windsor.
This is rather earlier than was generally expected, it being
previously understood that the Royal visitor would arrive on
the 2nd or 3rd of December.
