The Duke of Cambridge proceeded to Dover, and there
presented the Swiss Battalion, 1,000 strong, with their
colours, and afterwards proceeded in • special train to
dandling Park, when he was received by Mr. Currie, and
conducted to the mansion, in the front of which the troops

with a share ight ; after which, the Moots haring been
drown up la • square, prayers were offered up by the
chaplain.

The Duke of 0411111D01 then presented the national leg
of Zealand, emblszoned with the words, "The British
Foreign Legion," and also a flag bearing the insignia of the
regiment. The colours were received by the two youngest
naives is the regiment kneeing. His Royal Highness ad-
detested the troops to the German language, and congratu-
lated these upon the honourable distinction that they bad
received. He wee sure that by their devotion end gallantry
is the Add they would peeve themselves worthy to receive
the honours which were bestowed upon their brothers la
arms in the British servios. (Loud cheers.)
The ceremony having been concluded, the troops, to the
number of 3,000, were regaled on the laws with roast beef,

The vision* were also invited to partake of a very elegant

Manna, and lady; Mr. F. Peel, M.P. ; the lioa. Mr.
Cowper, M.P. ; the Right Hon. Mr. Hayter, M. P., As.
The Health of her Majesty " having been warmly res-
ponded to,

The Cnarsrua next proposed " The Health of his Royal
Highness the Dabs of Cambridge." (Great applause.)
The Duke of CAYSZIDOIbriedy returned thanks.
The Canianset said the next nest on his list was "The
Health of Lord Palmenton and her Majesty's Ministers."
He did not in every ease agree is the social polides of the
noble lord, but be esesedentionsly believed that the honour
of the country was safe in ►is keeping, and that he and his
colleagues would do all in their power to secure to this
country the blmsings of an honourable and permanent
peon. (Hear, hear.)
Viscount PAuninarox, in acknowledging the emapli-
meat, said that, however gratifying the demonstration of
that day must he to all her Majesty's subjects, it was per-
haps more gratifying to her Majesty's ministers, because it
was a proof of the soundness of the policy of ono of the
measures which they had strongly urged upon Parliament
as necessary for the vigorous prosecution of the war in
which this country was now engaged. The spectacle
which they had witnessed that day was calculated to redact
the highest credit upon the people who 'stunted the
vast regions of Germany. They knew the various intrigues
and machinations which the enemy had used to iodates the
people of Germany to believe that the men who jollied the
German Legion would not receive the honour and respect
to which they were entitled. He hoped that the imperi-
ous of that day would convince all who held such an opi-
Woo that the eadeavoun of the enemy to dissuade the brave
men who had joined the Foreign Legion were base end un-
founded, and they were only dictated by a fear of the con-
sequences which would moult from the co-operstioa of a
Genus Legion with the unconquered troops of England,
France, and Turkey. (Cheers.) If time had pa-
mitted,he might have dilated upon the noble example which
had been set to those brave Germans in times gone by, when
hietoey associated their names with the most valiant deeds
of arms; sad he could also have pointed to the manner in
which Eoglishmen had encountered danger in the deal of
battle. He wee sure that as the minister of the Sultan was
present they would allow him to propose "His Exolleney'e
Health, and Prosperity to the Reign of his Muter." (Loud
Aeon.) He (Lord Palmerston) hoped that the Sultan, in
onamon with the rest of his Allies, would gain a glorious
victory over the enemies, not only of England, Franca, and
Turkey, bat of the whole civilised world. (Applause.)
M. Mounties returned thanks.
"The Heath of Mr. and Mrs. Carrie," " The Health of
the Bardiana Chug& d'Affaires," Mn. Carrie and the
Ladies," were the nut toasts, and were very cordially
resolved.
It was stated that a portion of the legion would embark
for the Crimea by the sad of the must month.
Among the gestlesnen who were present on the ground
was Captain Carrie, the nephew of Mr. Currie, who was
severely wounded at the battle of the Alma. Her Royal
Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge was to have pro-
moted the colours, bat was unavoidably prevented from
Ong present.
