THE EMPRESS OP THE FRENCH IN

BDINBURGIL

(From the Scantean.)

Yesterday (Monday) morning, the Xmpress, at-
tended by the Comtesse de Montebello, Madame de Sanlcy,
and the Marquis de la Orange, left Douglaa' Hotel about
half-put eleven, in • carriage and pair, and drove by
Waterloo-place, the Regent-road, and Abbey Hill, to Holz-
rooL The carriage was driven slowly in front of the palace,
towable her Majesty to take • general survey of its archi-
tectural features, and then proceeded at • quicker pace
eastwards by the Duke's-walk, and round the Queen's-
drive. On arriving at Dunnippie Loch, at the spot usually
chosen for ascending to the summit of the hill, the royal
party left the carriage, and walked along the Drive for
sums distance, but the gram being wet and slippery, the
Empress did not attempt the ascent. In • few minutes her
Majesty and suite re-entered the carriage, and completing
the eirmit of the bill, drove back to the palace. There
the Bowen was receive by Mr. Cough, who had the honour
of conducting her Majesty and party through the suite of
rooms occupied by the Queen oa her ionisers journeys,
and afterwards through (linen Mary's apartments,
and the venerable chapel of Holyrood. We under-
mined that the Homems exhibited the greatest
punk& interest ia all the relics sad nisolorials
el the hopiese Mary of Scotland preserved in the
mod ea dosemding to the chape her Majesty
it agwid for a somitinahle time to colatemplate the
worn but rite and elegant tracery of its ruined etches and
columns. • Wee member of people had by this time col-
lected in treat of the palms, mid on the royal party emerg-
ing front the pie • lend cheer was given, and much
curiosity was displayed—is seine C&M.S, we fear, in en nu-
warrantably obtrusive asamer—to obtain a sight of the
Fas=. Her Majesty returned to the hotel.
after two o'clock the Empress and suite again left
the hotel, in a combos sad pair, and drove to the Castle.
I Int. matioa having been sent to Colonel E wart • minute or two
before the &tried of the_myal party, he honied down along
with Mr. Savory, of the 711th, to the gate, drew up the guard

ceived them, and altatting to the moat off-hand and affable

several minutes; and from her numerous queries and
remarks regarding them, she twinned to be mi-
nutely acquainted with their history and assocuitions.
lOn ascending the Mons Meg Battery, bee Majesty
t immediately hailed Meg as • familiar friend ; and, turning
to the view northwards, expressed herself charmed with the
appearance of the city, and particula pointed out the
!Mott monument, which she bad admired in Princes'etroet.
The Empress afterwards expressed • wish to sae the soldiers'
barracks, and was conducted through them by Colonel
Ewart, minutely inspected their details, end repeatedly
expressed her satisfaction with everything she saw, and her
adolirlitioa of the gallant 78th. On leaving the Castle her
Majesty moat courteously expressed her acknowledgments
to colonel Ewart, and, entering the carriage, drove off amid
, the cheers of about fifty people who had collected around
th'.3.gat!' „ . . . . .

Givat dubiety exists ra to the future movements of the
Empress. It ia stated that she will not visit Hamilton
Palace at present, and that she will shortly become the guest
of the Queen at Windsor. Whether these statements are
authentic or not we cannot tell, but we believe we are cor-
rect in stating that the Empress will not have Edinburgh
today, and consequently will not be present at the grand
ball to be given this evening at Hamilton Palace in honour
of her visit. We may also mention here that we under-
stand that Mr. Howard and his excellent orchestra have
been engaged for this ball, for which very extensive and
covtly preparations have been made.
Among other rumours regarding the Empress's move.
menu may be mentioned and, that in a day or two she will

rest which her Majesty Oakes In everything connected with
the history of the unfortunate Mary.
