Our Windsor correspondent writte last evening :
" Every necemary arrangement had been made up to a late
hour on Tuesday evening for the departure of the Queen from
Windsor for the Isle of Wight, this morning, and the direc-
tors of the South Western Railway had received instructions
to have the royal carriages in readiness to leave Windsor for
Gosport precisely at 10 o'clock.
" It is now said, however, that the Queen will not leave
Windsor before the arrival of the King of the Belgians,
which will probably be tomorrow or the following day.
Although Lord Alfred Paget went to town this morning to
make fresh arrangements for her Majesty's journey eitbe
to-morrow or Friday, it is said to be probable she will not
leave until after the funeral of the late Prince.

"'Workmen are engaged day and night in making the ne-
cessary preparations within Elt. Cleorge's Chapel for the
funeral soleiruities on Monday neat.
" The postponement of the royal journey was not known
here before 10 o'clock last night."

The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland has, though
not generally known, been @toying with the Queen at Wind-
sor C.uale since Monday morning, at the request of her
Majesty. The soothing presence of the duchesa has been •

style of the building. It contains, like other
prisons, some " condemned cells," but it is in no
way whatever specially assigned to be an ante-
room to the gallows.

M. Gueruult, of the Opinion Nationale, chafes
terribly at the news, which he cannot ignore, that
the Emperor's government, whether " spontane-
ously" or otherwise, has expressed au opinion that
in the affair of the Trent international law was
violated by the San Jacinto. In the fear, which I
think in various points of view extremely prema-
ture, that France will join her forces to those of
England, in the event of an American war, he
exclaims :

Why conceal our inmost thought? France has but one
enemy in the world ; that enemy is England—or, rather,
the English aristocracy, which during tive•and-twenty years
raised Europe against us, and twice conducted a coalition to
the walls of Paris.

Hure follows a grand philippic against the Eng-
lish aristocracy, and Lord Palmerston as one of its
prominent members.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE GUARDS.
(THIS DAB'.)

This morning a great number of persons, at an
early hour, assembled in the Wellington Barracks, St.
James's-perk, on the occasion of the deputy -11 of
the first battalion of the Grenadier Guards (under
the command of Lord Frederick Paulett) and of the
second battalion of, the Fusilier Guards, commanded
by Colonel Percy, for Canada, The Maws and privates
paradox' about 7 o'clock in front of the barracks, in heavy
marching order, and there was not a man absent. The bands
of each battalion were not present, iu consequence of the
melancholy death of the Prince Consort. The whole
body started about eight o'clock for the Waterloo station of
the South Western Railway, Waterloo-mad, where tra,-is
were in waiting for their conveyance to Southampton, at
which port the Adriatic and Parana merchant ships wait for
their reception to convey them to Canada. There wee
much enthusiasm displayed by the battalioa of each regi-
ment, who were loudly cheered all the way to the rail-
way station. The wives, children, and relatives of the IMO
accompanied them to the station.
