THE IMPERIAL PROGRESS TO THE

SOUTH OP FRANCE.

Most al the Parisian journals are occupied with
details of the jimmy which the Emperor said his consort
are melds( through the southern depsrtmeols, with their
exams= to envoy, on their way to embark for Algeria.
It has hem nemstioesil that the Emperor and Em-
press star= ea Tuesday, pve audience to Y._ Parini
Minister of the Interior of Piedmont, and to General
Cialclini, of the Piedmontese army, who had arrived from
Turin to aompliment their Majesties in the name of King
Victor Emenemmel. The general is well known to the Em-
peror, from having commanded a corps' of the advanoed
guard in the eampaign of Italy, and having taken part is
the battle @ln/atm and in the combat of San Martino on
the mesesable day of Solferino. Their MaJesties have
taken a drive in a carriage in the environs of the town.
Everywhere large crowds were assembled to see them, and
everywhere the heartiest acclamations were raised.
A letter from Lyons adds a few particulars to what has
le en already given rts to the proceeding. of the Emperor and
Empress:—' After the departure of their Majesties from
the loom in which the Empress had made two or three
passes of the silk at one of the looms, the young work-
woman who showed her Majesty what to do, being after
wards inked whether she had not been intimidated by the
hepenal presence, naively replied:—• Oh ! no, not much ;
the Empress is so affable, and then she threw the shuttle
so well ! It is a pity she is Empress ; she would make a
Amt rote silk weaver _
The Progris of Lyons states that during the stay of
their Alajorties in that city the hotels were so thronged
with strangers that it was impossible to find even the
scoal!e4 room. It was more particularly in the Quartiers
Saint Jean and lu Change that the influx warn so great,
ben)e the part of the city most frequented by the people of
the surrounding country. Some hiffel-keepers converted
their dioneg-rooms, kitchens, and even out offices, into
sleeping places. One innkeeper in the Rue TreirsbLYntoras
for three eights, 60 beds made up on tables, thus
affording a resting place, although not a very comfortable
one. A number of persons were not fortunate enough to
poke:re Sven that accommodation, but had to sleep on the
benches in the public promenade., and on the step" of the
chwelitei. Those of the Cathedral were selected by many
as being more removed from the noise and bustle of the
city. burro the departure of their Majesties the city has
mooned its usual appearance, the crowds of visitors having
dispersed in all directions.
The ridiculous adulation of <miens courtly scribes is thus
rebuked by the Journal des DAate
"After an interminable seoomeion of bad-weather days,
the sun apmred at length at the moment when the Em-
peror and Empress set out upon their journey. It is men-
tioned by one journal that the Emperor having met at Dijon
the mayor of a *retain district in the Cite d'Or inquired of
him what was the state of the crops ; upon which the rural
dignitary exclaimed, •Ali, sire, you ought to have come
ihiMg us a fortnight sooner.' It was a delicate complinieut
this, but La Parries resolved not to come behind the
mayor, and so, when speaking of the splendid son which
has suddenly shone out over our heads, La Patric asks
' whether this incident, which might have appeared to be a
matter of chance and unmeaning, should not rather
be regarded se one of those numerous tokens of
profound significance, which prove the Napoleonic tradition
to he the veritable tradition of our nation.' In every age
them has been a poetical inclination to invoke the sun, as
intervening in the lives of illostrious personages, but never
hey this Arum of speech been so boldly resorted to, or with
the aeconspanmient of such refined aid, as the Patrie itself
would say, such profound reflections. Wu it not enough
for our contemporary to notice the acclamations by which
the Emperor and &sprees were hailed all along their road,
without affording to ill:disposed readers such an occasion
for laughter, by calling in the aid of the sun and stars in
this very singular way . We can well understand, there-
fore. how it is that the Constitationnet, being a friend of
the Patric, remarks this morning, with a sigh of regret.
that ' praise is too difficult in France.' The same meek
was male by Beileau in his day, when he referred to the
sublime effort of imagination by which a sonneteer, with
much labour and pains, compared his monarch to the sun.
These silly panegyrics are always derided in France, and
will set be less so at the present day than they were in the
reign of Louis XIV."

The tibeitepr de la ate d'Ov, of Dijon, says:
" Whoa their imperial Majesties went to rut the Salle
&Aide du Nord, all the children who were drawn up in the
evert saluted them with acclamations A little boy was
charged topreeent a bouquet to the Empress, and it wall so
large that he could scaroely carry it. Her Majesty embraced
the little fellow, and remained some instants Luressing him.
Alter benzin the children sing, and having etprosed their
setiefactioe, their Majesties inquired with solicitude into
the organisation and want. of the establishment. As
the imperial tarty was leaving, new aalainatioes
wise raised, said one of the children cried out,
'Aid long lien Monsieur le Core also;' The
Empress could not help smiling, and the Emperor turning
to the curd, said, ' Nothing is more just, Monsieur le Curt,
than that these children should testify to you their grati-
tude for the benefits you confer on them, and the solicitude
with which you watch over them.' Before leaviw., the
Empress conversed for a short time with the Superior of
the Petits.Sminrs des NUMB, who was prevent, and his
Majesty expressed regret that from want of time she was
mot able go visit the aged personn in her establiiummt.*
The same journal adds : -"W hen the Emperor wee passing
es th ,!av of th.. grand reception at the Prefecture before
the ms•-•rs of the rilral communes, one of them cried,
'Mire, why did you not briegyour little boy? His Majesty,
with a smile, promised that the Prince should accompany
him ou los next ',kit."

Tax BOTJRBON or NAPLES/J.—A Paris letter in
the Sa,ro Pubiiler of Lyons say. "An incident of a cer-
Jinn importance took place here three days ago—the per-
sonal visite( Count crAquila to the Mike at the Opinion
lietiemode. How will the Gereele de Preece, the Milo*,
the lt,n,k, and the Asti de la Befigiosi take that pro.
ossthog ! Probably with a very bed glace. What is vary
eartaia is that it was • thing very unforeseen cas their Arta,
and, it may he mid, disconcerting to the last degree, A
Bourbon arrives in Paris, and, what is more, a Bourbon of
Naples ; he requires publicity for some explanations
which concerti him, and he addresses himself—to whom ?
To the organ of Garibaldi. The Count appears to be still
Imola. as no one would take him for more than 35. He
up of toiddle stature ; his thick hair and beard, which he
west, entire, are lark brown, sod be bears a striking re-
semblance to the King et Naples, the Count de Chamtord,
and the Count de Nontemolino. With the exception of
some magnificent rings, there is nothing in his appearance to
distinguish him from any other private person. In his long
oaavematien with the uteri of the Opinion Nalioned, he
showed himself very communicative, and be speaks French
vary fluently. The Count might have met at the office
Prince de anus.Cataldo, the envoy of Garibaldi to the
French government, which would have been somewhat
amusing. Another contrast peculiar to the present time is,
that a plebeian like Garibaldi shank' have ambassision
taken from the highest of the Italian are , as, for
imamate, Prince de San-Giuseppe at London, and puns de
Santlatakki at Paris."

—llse Joanna de Cherfemi says :—" After the events of
MI. as order of the Bronze Craw was eirtablished in Hol-
land to recompense the Dutchmen who had didingniahed
themselves in combating the Belgians, just as in Belgium
the order of the Iron Crow was created to recompense our
countrymen for fighting the Dutch. /Cow that the two
