his new credentials as Minister Plenipotentiary of
the Swiss Confederation. Mgr. filasooni. the Papal

having effected the passage from Hamburg in fifty-
two hours. Immediately on the arrival of the vessel,
his Imperial Highness was waited on by the Com-
missary-General of Marisa and the colonel of the
29th Regiment of the line, whilst a considerable
crowd of spectators assembled on the quay. The
Prince seemed in excellent health, es did all the persona
who accompanied him. His Imperial Highness was to

express train, and arrived at the P alai* Royal this
morning about one o'clock.
