LONDON. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2.

Tors afternoon our neighbour bids us fare-
well, and takes his departure for his own home.
He has passed the best part of a week with us ;
we have shown him all that was worth seeing in
our house ; he appears to have enjoyed his visit
amazingly, and to have made every allowance for
the shortcomings in our entertainment, taking the
will for the deed, and above all astonished to find
foggy Albion in a glow of sunshine. Did time
permit, he would no doubt remain longer with
us ; but, like ourselves, he too has his duties in
this work-a-day world, and he cannot prolong his
stay. His luggage is packed, his carriage is ordered
for two o'clock, and by sunset he will be well on
the road to his own home, where we treat he will
find better weather on his return than he left
behind him the ot'ier day.
Thus end the reciprocal visits of the French and
English fleets. The festivities at Portsmouth on this I His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador gave a
