HER MAJESTY'S MOVEMENTS ..IN PARIS.
(MON 0171 OWN CORRISPONDINT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EYINING.

___,
Prime Albert left St. Cloud at a quaTter pest 10
this morning to pay a business-like visit to the Uni-
versal Exhibition alone. He came in a ehar-a-banc,
accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Col.
Phipps, and without any escort. He entered the
building at the principal door in the Champs Elyse's,
and was received by Prince Napoleon, M. Fould, and
M. La Play. He proceeded systematically to walk
round the nave, and c MS of the lateral galleries, and
after having made a most minute inspection of
a great many stalls, he proceeded to the Rotunda,
where the Queen staid so long yesterday. He after-
wards returned to the Pattie, went up stairs, and
staid a long while in the upper galleries. The sea-
son-ticket holders, who alone were admitted on this
°cession, did not of course muster in anything like
such numbers as they did yesterday to see the
Queen. It was not found necessary to fence off the
nave with rope., which the public could not pass,
as was done yesterday. A few sergens de *ills
kept a sufficient open space to enable his
Royal Highness to walk about freely. I hear the
demeanour of his Royal Highness very much praised
by exhibitors. He conversed in the most sans facon
manner with a great many, listened attentively to the
observations made to him, frequently smiled, and
appeared to take a great interest in all that be saw.
I am the more happy to record the favourable ins-.

1
precision which his Royal Highness's coodact pro-
&toed to-clay, from the fact that at the Opera the
other evening it was remarked that he was taciturn
and reserved. The Prince left the Palais de rip-
dustrie at a little before two o'clock, and went to
the Tuileries to wait for the arrival of the Queen and
the Emperor from Bt. Cloud.

The Queen arrived at the Tuileries at half-past 2,
half an boor later than the time mentioned in the
programme. The heat was intense at that time ;
and partly in consequence of the beat, which many
shrank from encountering, and partly because of a
rumour that her Majesty would not leave the cool
shades of St. Cloud till the sun had somewhat abated
the intensity of his rays, there were bat few people
assembled in the precincts of the Palace at the mo-
ment of her arrival. In the Place du Carrousel
where every stone was so hot that you might bevel
baked a loaf upon it, there were not at two o'clock
more people than usual. In the Tuileries Gardens,
as soon as the posting of a few sergens de ville on
either side of the grand avenue leading to the Pavil-
lon de l'Horloge indicated that the Imperial car-
riages were approaching, the nurserymaids, children,
and mammas, the newspaper and novel readers, and
the ladies who delight to do crotchet work under the
chesnat trees, ran out from the tnauffs, and formed
lines to spe the arrival, and their numbers being but
very slightly augmented by a few casual promenaders,
the rank was a single one, so that every body could
see well. Their Majesties and suite arrived
in travelling carriages and four with the
Imperial poet-horses. The Queen and the Printout,

Royal sat together. The Emperor we. on the oppo-
site mat. There was no fourth person in their can
After luncheon the Brormite 'Deducted her
Majesty to the picture-galleries of the Louvre. The
Royal and Imperial party entered the galleries by the
door communicating with the interior of the Tuileries,
so that the public saw nothing of her Majesty's visit to
the Louvre. No person not in the immediate suite of
their Majesties was admitted to the galleries. It is
reported and has even been printed in an edition of e
Paris newspaper already sent into the country this
evening that, after leaving the Louvre, her Majesty
paid the projected visit to Vinoennes this afternoon. It
would not even surprise me if circumstantial accounts
were to be circulated throughout Europe, describing
the &monitions in the Faubourg St. Antoine, and the en-
thusiasm of the people as her Majesty passed the
Barriers du Trone. All such descriptions, however,
will be pure invention, for up to the hour at which I
write her Msjesty had not left the Tuileries. She
dines there to-day en j'aerille at seven o'clock, and
afterwards gm* to the grand ball at the Hotel de

The Queen made two purchases at the Exhibition
yesterday. It is more than probable that she made
others, but I have only as yet heard of these two.
One was a broor.e cast, executed by M. De La-
brow, of the exquisite pica) of sculpture exhibited
in the Fine Arts Exhibition. by M. Geste—the Bel-
gian artist—the "Lion in Love." The Queen ex-
pressed herself so mush pleated with her purchase,
that M. Fould thought it would be a delicate oompli-1
meat to send it to St. Cloud immediately, and she
found it in her bedroom in the evening. Her Ma-
jesty also bought (for 1,5000 a fan made by Duvellc-
roy, embellished by a painting of "Les Jeudia de
rlmpiratrice." the subject of which is the Empress,
when a child, distributing charity, which it was her
habit to do once a week.

I understand that Prince Albert made a great
I many purchress in the Exhibition today.

PARIS, FRIDAY MOZNING.

Her Majesty hes conferred upon Prince Napoleon
and General Canrobert the Grand Cordon of the Order
of the Bath.

Prince Jerome oomes to Paris on Sunday to present
his homage to the Queen.

Her Majesty went at 11 o'clock last night to the
greed ball at the Hotel-de-Ville.

There has been a considerable fall at the Bonne.
The Route, which has been heavy all the week,
dropped to-day 400. for money, and 800. for time.
The latest cash price was Mfr. 500. Although there
are sinister meows about a oheet before the Malakoff
Tower, and there was a good deal of talk about a
ministerial crisis at Vienna, the state of the "house"
was thought to amount for the fall. Credit Mobilier
fell 18fr. 750. Lyons and Mediterranean fell 17fr. 80c.
All the lines were lower.

THE QUEEN'S LUNCHEON.

An anntsiog some occurred in the Exposition on
Wedamday while the Queen was in the Rotunda, where
the Cuban tapestries, the Sinus china, and the crown
jewels are exhibited. Her Majesty had taken es much in-
terest In the Exhibition, and had of herself diverged so
often from the course laid down to make excursions into
different galleries to examine various products that the
Emperor feared she must be tired. There appeared, too,
considerable doubt whether or not her Majesty would
return through the main bailding to the Champs
Elysies, leaving the " A aaaaa " for Friday next.
The general expectation was that she would re-
turn, and people stood for upwards of an hour is
the vestibule which separates the Rotunda from the Petah,
is the hopes of seeing her well. Presently it became ru-
moured that her Majesty was certainly going through the
Annexe to-day, but that the Emperor had insisted that she
should first take some refreshment. Au usher ran in crest
but, to Chevet's buffs., sad returned immediately with a
waiter, bringing a bottle of Madeira, some sponge biscuits,
two or three peaches, and some grapes on a tray. This
simple refreshment he carried tato the Rotunda
for the Queen of England. A few moments
later Count Bedsits:chi was seen to run frantimlly
towards the buffet, stooping down to pas' under the cord
which separated the crowd from the space kept open for
the Royal and Imperial party, and forcing his way through
the closely-packed spectators. He came back by the same
route, followed by a waiter bearing a little round garden
table and a tablecloth. Upon this it was intended that the
Queen's frugal repast should be served with somewhat more
comfort than ow a tray. But the proffered luxury arrived
too lac. Her Majesty had already finished her fairy-like
luselmoo, and the table and cloth were at once brought
bask amidst considerable laughter.

A despatch from General La Marmon states that
the number of killed and woaaded in the Sardinian con-
tingent, at the battle of Tehernaya, amounted to 600.
The Post dove Gasette contains a letter from
Kiel, which says:—" It is clearly Jemmied to undertake, in
the 00111410 l this year, WM important operations in the
Baltic, reinforcements for the fleets continue to uric*.
To-day, two mortar-boats have come in, and four others are
exported in a few days."
It is said that the visit of Print* Frederick of
Netherlands to the Swedish Court has political motives.
The prince arrived from St. Petersburg, and went on to
Christiaais, after having stopped only one day at Berlin.
It seems that his maia objesn Is to induce Sweden to keep
antral.

Marseilles, sic Arabian horses intended for the Emperor,
which hare been brought by M. de Bourgoing. Thee*

in Oriental horses. _

WAR DEPARTMENT, Ano. 23.
Lad Puma, hu this day reoeived a despatch and
its enclosures, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his lordship by General Simpson :
Before Sebastopol, Aug. 11, 11164.-
My Lord,—l bad the honour to acquaint you that
during the past week the army has been unceasingly
employed in strengthening and improving the ad-
vanced works, which are now so close to the enemy,
that it is with the greatest difficulty any approach
can be made. By the casualty return which I enclose
your Lordship will regret to see a large number,
though the proportion of wounded over the killed is
considerable.

Brevet-Major Macgowan, of the 93rd, is supposed
to have fallen a prisoner into the hands of the enemy.
I have caused a letter to be addressed to the Go-
vernor of the place, to ascertain his fate, but up to
this time I have received no answer.

The health of the army is, on the whole, good,
although the cholera still continues to take dlily
several victims.—l have, &c.,

General Commanding.
