THE WING OF SARDINIA AT PARIS.

(PLOY 003 OWN

PARIS. FIIDET EVININO.
The Rios of Sardinia arrived at the Lyons Railway
station at one o'clock to-day, acoompanied by his suite
and the officers of the Emperor's household, who had
gone to Marseilles to meet him. His Majesty was
received by Prince Napoleon, Marshal Magnan,
Colonel Fleury, the Prefect of the Seine, and the
Prefect of Police. M. Mosier, the president of the
Lyons Railway Company, with the director, secre-
t tary, and engineers of the company, were in attend-
ance. A salon d'honfreur, tastefully ornamented with

military trophies and the arms of France, England,
Sardinia, and Turkey, had been prepared for his
reception. After staying there a few seconds, and
eemplimentiog . the president of the railway
company on the arrangements, his Majesty
entered the Imperial carriage in waiting to convey
him to the Tuileries. Prince Napoleon took his seat
so the King's left hand. The artists, whioh con-
sisted of seven carriages, was escorted by a guard of
Imam of the Guides and Cent Garda. On leaving
the railway station, the procession passed through a
square of the Imperial Guards formed in front. The
line from thence to the Palace was not lined with
National Guards, as had been expected, and, indeed,
the entry was not a triumphal one in the sense which
those who had been led to look for a repetition of
of the excitement witnessed on the occasion of the
Queen of England's visit may have anticipseal
Although in a political point of view the event of the
arrival in Paris of the esteemed sovereign of Pied-
mont is highly important, and although his Majesty's
reception will be most cordial, it cannot be said that
the public mind of the Parisians is much stirred on
the subject. The crowd collected about the railway
station, although considerable, was not large, and con-
sisted for the most part of the poorer classes who reside
in the immediate neighbourhood, which is very popu-
lous. The wesAher wudull, with a drizslingrain,afact
calculated to diminish the number of the curious.
Bat what more than all prevented anything late a
popular demonstration was, that whether by accident
or design, the public was misled both as to the hour
at which Victor Emmanuel would arrive, and as to
the route that he would take. Until this morning it
was supposed that he wou:d follow the line of the
Boulevards, and many of the houses near the Bee-
tills were dressed out with flags in this anticipation.
The Moositsur of this morning announced that
the corregge would proceed along the new Rue Rival,
but this notice appeared too late to be generally
read, and very many people waited on the Boule-
vards, where the appearance of the flags was WOW
listed to dispel any doubt that his Majesty would
pass that way. Flags were also hung out along the
line which was actually adopted, but there were no
triumphal arches or mottoes, and the crowd on
either side of the way was by no means great. The
ifesiteur had said that the Kiog would arrive at the
elation between two and three o'clock. Remember-
fag the lamented delay when the Queen came, people
expected that his Majesty would be here rather after
than before the time announced, and many were
ustsch surprised to learn, when they arrived in the
Pine Mesas too late, that the procession had left pre-
sisely at one o'clock.
At the Tuileries, the King of Sardinia is lodged in
the Pavilion Marian.
'llse Count Cavour, the Marquis d'Areglio, and
ethers of his Majesty's suite, have apartments in
the new Hotel de Louvre.
His Majesty's stay in Paris will be about a week.
1 am informed that, after visiting London, he will go
not may to Brussels, but to Cologne and Mayence, on
his way home.
The Emperor and Empress and the King of Sar-
dinia will be present at the monster concert at the
!Patois de l'lndustrie on Sunday.

THE BALTIC.

(i&o OUR OWW

HUM Nov. 20..

The Orion arrived here this morning, and there is, '
therefore, now no longer any of the ships of the line be-
longing to the allkd fleets in any part of the tipper
portion of the Baltic. Captain Erskine has followed
his instructions, and left that anchorage on the 17th,
but although there had then been some falls of snow
there wereno indications of ice. It Is impossible for those
who know practically something of the navigation of
these waters not to be satisfied that this movement of
the fleet, although deferred to a later date than last
year, has still been premature, and if the Russians
should require to transfer their ships from one port
to another, or should have any other object to accom-
plish of this nature, there is now nothing to
be attempted on our part to prevent them,
at least with their larger vessels, as, how-
ever suitable the squadron left under the
command of Admiral Baynes may be to main-
tain the commercial blockade, they weld not be
expected to cope with the large mew men-of-war,
which it is known are still in a state of preparation to
proceed to sea at Croustadt.
The Harrier returns to the blockading squadron to-
morrow, and it is to be hoped that she dose not carry
orders for their recall also. The strictest enemy is
properly obosrvod, and Injunctions hare been given to
dissections all communications to the press. which,
if necessary at all, would certainly have been more so
at the oommenesment than at the close of the am.
