DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FROM
FRANCE.

.SUB,MER, MONDAY, ATJOI7II7' 27.

The preparations made to receive her Majesty
upon her return from Paris, to take her departure
from France, were of a still more gorgeous and ela-
borate character than those made to greet her upon
her arrival. Even the preceding Sabbath—although
it is ordered by the Emperor that all public works
should be suspended on the Sunday—was occupied
in the erection of temporary structures for the deoora-
tion of the city or the convenience of the public.
A rut body of workmen was employed raising flag-
staffs, galleries, 4t0., along the royal route, and every
house along the.:quay. and in the vicinity of the
railway station, was ornamented with the flags and
streamers of the two great nations, and studded with
numerous appropriate &vials.

At an early hour this morning the town and neigh-
bourhood were alive by crowds of anxious persons
hastening towards the Anay aid the overhanging
heights, where a good view of the imposing scene
which was to take place might be obtained. And
every steamer and railway train which arrived dis-
charged their enormous cargoes of human beings,
who swelled the already dense population to a most
inconvenient degree. As the hour approached for
the arrival of the royal train, every foot of ground on
both sides of the river, and on the heights, as
well as every window, wu occupied by most
anxious spectators. The royal mail steamer
Vivid, amongst various other vessels, arrived
with a large party of excunionists, from Ramsgate
and Dover, to witness the grand review and the em-
barkation of her Majesty on her return to England.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT
BOULOONE.

At a few minutes past 5 o'clock the royal train
arrived, conveying her Majesty, Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, and the Priacess Royal, together
with the noblemen and ladies forming her suite; also
his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French,
Prince Napoleon, Marshal Baraguay the
Comte de Montebello, Colonel Fleury, and several
other dietinguished individuals. They were received
at the railway station by Baron James Rothschild
and the other directors of the railway.company, by
M. Achille Adam, the Mayor, the Bou►Prefet, and
o her municipal officers. Immediately upon the
arrival of the royal party a salute of 101 guns was
Bred from the cannon on the heights, which were
answered by the ileet in the roads.
I The Royal and Imperial party proceeded into*

diately to the Hotel, preceded by troops of lancers,
dragoons, carabineers, and some of the Cent Gerdes.
The routs was lined by troops on both sides. Her
Majesty, who was similarly attired as on her arrival
to France, occupied a seat in the carriage with her
back to the horses, and the Princess Royal by her
side. Opposite the Queen sat the Prince of Wales,
and beside him the Marchioness of Ely. Prince
Albert, in uniform, and the Emperor, in the uniform
of a general officer, rode on horseback on each side
of the carriage. Immediately in front of the Royal
cortege was a band of the lancers, which played
" God save the Queen" all along the route. The
Royal party were cheered most vehemently, and the
guns continued tiring until their arrival at the
Hotel.

In about 10 minutes after her Majesty's arrival
at the Hotel, the Queen again appeared at the door,
and entering the carriage in waiting, proceeded im-
mediately to the sands, and reviewed the troops
that had easenibled there. There wen about 60,000,
beinttkie contribations of the four camps—namely,
Hoovaalt, Ambleteuse, Equihen, and Wimereux.
The review did not last more than twenty minutes.
The Emperor and Prince Albert were on horseback
throughout.
At the termination of the review several new
rockets were tried, one of which, it was said, tra-
velled two leagues before it burst.
