BOULOGNE SUB MER.

THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 23.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri arrived yes-
terday, at five in the afternoon. She was met at a distance
of some miles from the town by the majority of the re-
spectable inhabitants, French and English, mounted on
horseback. The public toad was lined on either side, a
mile out of the town, by the poorer classes, who made
their obeisance, and shouted the usual loyal viva, upon
the occasion. The Duchess was in an open barouche,
drawn by post horses, who were tied on to the vehicle by
ropes—nothing better ! One or two travelling carriages,
were all that followed, the whole being escorted by a party
of dragoons. The greater part of her Royal Highness's
suite had arrived in the course of the day. On entering
the town the Duchess was conveyed to the hotel prepared'
for her reception in the Grande Place, at a slow pace, pre-
ceded by military music. In the Grande Rue, and all the
streets through which the royal procession passed, garlands,
of flowers, and ropes of ivy, tastefully intersper►ed with
the poppy flower, were hung from window to window
across the road. The effect, especially in the evening,
when the whole town was illuminated, was very pretty and
striking. By order of the authorities, out of every window
waved a white flag.
Her Royal Highness will bathe this day, and afterwards
proceed to view the botanic garden at Courci, about nine
miles distant.

Since the intelligence of the intended visit of the Duchess
of Berri has been received at Calais, all has been bustle
and confusion: preparations are being fast carried into ef-
fect. The Hotel de Ville has undergone a thorough scour-
ing within, and the outside has been whitewashed. Alt the
jleurs de Us have been newly gilt, particularly those upon
the iron railings round the column erected on the Pier, op-
posite the spot where Louis Le Desire first placed his legi-
timate foot on his return to France on the 94th April, 1814,
and to commemorate which the good people of Calais
erected that monument. The Mayor has been at the ex-
pense of a new state carriage. There is to be a ball and
other great doings on the occasion.
His Royal Highness Prince William of Brunswick, I
accompanied by Baron Vanhouison, has arrived at the
Royal Hotel, where his Serene Highness the Duke of
Brunswick is expected in a few days. On Monday the il-
lustrious strangers visited the Castle, and also drove to
Holy rood House, but did not go through its interior.—

CAMBRIDGE, Aug. Q6.—The spirit of enterpr:ze, which
the late ever-to-be-lamented Dr. Clarke so powerfully ex-
' cited among the members of this University, has not suf-
' feted any abatement. A young man of fortune, lately of
Trinity College, Mr. Blanc, returned to Cairo with his
friend, Mr. Crompton, on the 15th of last May, after a
journey across the desert, which was attended with a good
deal of hardship, from the want of water and from the ex-
cessive heat. They had pursued the route of Moses and
the Israelites, and, travelling with the Book of Exodus in
their hands, had reached Mount Sinai. They drank their
coffee on the spot where Moses received the Decalogue, vi-
sited the cave in which Elijah had taken refuge at Horeb;
and placed themselves on the stone whereon Moses sat
when his hands were lifted up whilst Israel fought against
Amalek. They discovered also several caves containing
curious objects of antiquity, not hitherto known nor visited
by any traveller. On their return to Cairo they were pre-
paring to start for Jerusalem and Damascus. iVe hope to
he gratified with further particulars of these interesting
travellers.
