The details of the coronation of CHARLIII X. which we'
this day extract from the French Papers, were in substance
anticipated by the articles we published on that subject on
Monday and Tuesday. Some parts of the solemnity have
necessarily been modified in consequence of the introduc-
tion of the representative system into the French Govern-
ment. In the KING'S oath it will be observed that he
swears expressly to maintain the constitutional charter,
This is a wise and liberal concession to public feeling.
The studied omission of the word " charter" in the first
speech of CHARLES X. from the throne, and the suhstitu-.
Lion of the phrase " institutions," excited much alarm and
disgust among the people of France, who regarded this
proceeding as an indirect refusal, on the part of the
new Sovereign, to recognise and confirm the grant of his
predecesser. The solemn pledge which the KING has
now given admits of no doubt; anti we hope, there-
fore, that the dietrust and apprehension of his subjects
will cease. It is certain, from all the letters we have
lately received from France, that the popularity of his
Most Christian Majesty is sunk almost to the lowest
degree. His bigoted devotion to the Priests has rendered
him peculiarly disliked. The law of sacrilege has filled
up the measure of public aversion. The indemnity to the
emigrants_ also contributed largely to produce the same
result. Under these circumstances, the Coronation has
been treated with great indifference, by a nation excessively
fond of pageants and spectaoles. The bustle has been
confined to the foreigners, and especially the English, who
have flocked in great numbers to the vicinity of Rheims.
The French themselves have taken pains to avoid appearing
delighted, or even interested. Some minor causes, we under-
stand, have also operated forcibly against the favourable re-
ception of the ceremony. In the first place, all France—that
is to say, Paris, which includes all that is politically active
or powerful in France—is of opinion that the coronation
should have taken place in ths:capiial, under the eyes, as it
were, of the whole land, instead of being transacted at
Rheims, where few could witness it.—" France is now,"
say the malcontents, " a Constitutional Monarchy, and
there is no propriety in continuing the ceremony at Rheims,
because, under another order of things, it pleased our abso-
lute Monarcbs to be consecrated there." The ceremony
itself, we arc informed by a correspondent, was much infe-
rior in pomp and splendor to the coronation of Gloang IV.
The latter was a gorgeous display of unparalleled wealth
and magnificence. The numerous attendance of Peers,
' High Dignitaries, and great Officers of State, bad an admi-
rable effect at Westminster, which was ill imitated at
Rheims, by the scanty deputations from the Chambers,
and the Ministers in immediate dependency upon the
I Crown.

1111E1111S, MAT 29.
Before five o'clock in the morning the doors of the
cathedral were besieged by the crowd. At six they were
opened, and at half-past six all the galleries in the body of
the church, the choir, the sanctuary, &c. were filled.
The galleries reserved for the Dauphiness, the Duchess
of &nut, and the Princesses of the blood, were on the tight
of his Majesty's pew, opposite the gallery of the diplomatic
body.
The Peers of France and great officer, of the Crown
were placed on the steps of the choir. On the right the
Deputies and Mayors of the good cities, the Prefects, and
many other public functionaries called to the Coronation
by sealed letters.
The Royal 'Courts, the Tribunals, a great number of
General Officers, occupied the steps in the body of the
church to the right and left. The galleries erected on both
sides between the pillars were filled with ladies, most of
them presented.
The Dauphinesa had a robe embroidered with silver on a
gold ground, and a diadem sparkling with diamonds.
The Duchess of Berry 'wore a crimson-coloured robe,
bordered wtth silver lama ; she wore in her hair a wreath
of roses mixed with diamonds.
The Princesses of the Blood wore white robes, worked
with silver.
At half-past seven the clergy repaired to the cathedral.
The Archbishop of Rheims advanced towards the altar,
Preceded by the Bishops of Soissons and Rheim', acting as
Deacon and Sub-Deacon, and by the Archbishops of Be-
sancon and Bourges, and the Bishop of Autun and Evreux,
appointed to chaunt the Litanies.
Cardinals Clermont-Tonnerre and La Fare, assisting
his Majesty, went to fetch the King from his apartments,
preceded by the Chapter.
The Chapter having arrived it the door of his Majesty's
chamber, with the Dauphin, the Dukes of Orleans and
Bourbon, the Great Officers of the Crown, the Officers of
the Household, having functions to Perform in the cere-
mony of the Coronation, the principal Chapter of the
Cathedral knocked at the door. Prince Talleyrand, the
High Chamberlain, said, in a loud voice; " Whacdo you
desire ?"
The Cardinal Clermont-Tonnerre answered, " CharlesX.
whom God has given us for our King."
The doors were then opened by his Majesty's porters.
The two Cardinals then approached the King (who rose
from hii seat), and saluted his Majesty.
The Dauphin, the Dukes of Orleans and Bourbon, then
proceeded to the Church, conducted by the Master of the
Ceremonies, and preceded and followed by their Chief Of-
ficers, who took their places in the Sanctuary, except the
Lieutenant of the King's Gardes du Corps, on duty about
the Dauphin, who remained with his Royal Highness.
The first of the two Cardinals presented the Holy Water
to the King, and repeated the prayer—" Omnipolens scm-
piterne, Deus, qui famuturn toum," .etc.; after which the
two Cardinals conducted the King to the Church.
[Here follow the details of the procession to the Church,
during which the anthem—" Ecce nrilto Angclum meum,"
&c. was chaunted.
The King wore a silver robe, his slippers were trimmed
with silver, and lie hail a cap (toque) of black velvet,
with two white aigrettes, separated in the middle by a dia-
mond cross.
When. the King arrived at the door of the church, Car-
dinal la Fare repeated the prayer, Deus qui scis genus
humanum. After which the Psalm, Domine in rirtute tuo
leetabitur Rex was chaunted. During the Psalm the
Clergy took their places, and the King was conducted by
the two Cardinals to the foot of the altar, where his Ma-
jesty knelt down.
The Archbishop of Rheims, as soon as the King entered
the choir, said over his Majesty the prayer, Omnipotent
Deus Ceelestium Moderator. Atter which his Majesty was
conducted to the seat prepared for him in the middle of the
sanctuary under the high canopy. After the Princes, the
great officers, &c. had taken their places, the Archbishop
of Rheims presented Holy Water to his Majesty, who rose
to receive it.

The High Chamberlain put on his Majesty the tunics
and the dalmatica of crimson satin, embroidered with,fleurs

velvet with gold fleurs de fir, lined and trimed with ermine.
The King bring in his loyal robes, knelt down. The
Archbishop seated, took the holy oil for the Bishop acting
as Deacon. •
After the prayers the first Valet de Chambre presented
to the Deacon a pair of gloves on a plate of silver gilt.
which the Deacon held while the Archbishop blessed the
gloves, saying, Omnipotetis Creator, &c. The Archbishop
sprinkled the gloves with holy water and put them on the
King. The same ceremony took place for the ring, which
his Grace put on his Majesty, front the finger, saying.4ceipe
annnluen. The delivering of the sceptre and the rod of
justice was performed in the same manner.
The Archbishop, with both hinds, took from the altar
the Crown of Charlemagi, le, and placed it above, over the
King's head, without its touching his Majesty. The
Princes put their bands to support it. The Archbishop,
holding it with his left hand, said, making the benediction
with the right, Coronet le Dens, corona gloria atque
lice. After which lie placed the crown on the King's 11( ad.
The Dauphin and the Princes a second time put their
hands on it, as if to support it, and he said, Accipe
nom Regni, in nomine Faith, &c.
The ceremony pf the coronation being finished, the
Archbishop raised the King by the right arm, and his
Majesty was conducted to his throne. His Majesty was
attended in the same manner as on his entering the church,
the Duke of Conegliano bearing the sword of Charlciusgne
naked in his hand.
Every body standing, the Archbishops holding the
King by the right arm, and turned towards the altar, said
the prayer, I/a et reline a modo statnni.
Then the King being wale*, the Archbishop holding his
Ma',„'esty by the hand, said, In hoc regni solio rtmjirmet ft,
&c. The prayers being ended, the Archbishop put off his
mitre, made a profound obeisance to the King, kissed him
on the fotehead, and said, I'irot Ater in seternum. The
Dauphin and the Princes took off their crowns, which they
'placed on their seats; they advanced, and each of them
received the embrace from the King, saying, Pivot Re: in
crternum. At this moment the trumpet sounded, the
people entered the church, the heralds distributed the
medals, a thousand birds were let loose, all the bells were
rung, and three volleys of musketry, fired by the infantry
of the royal guard, were answered by the artillery of the
ramparts of the city.
After these ceremonies the Archbishop chanted 7'e Drum;
then high mass was celebrated, (luring which the Dauphin
and the Princes took off their crowds, and the Cardinals
their mitres.
The Dauphin took the King's crown. and laid it on the
desk of his Majesty's pew. After the Gospel he replaced
the crown on the Kings head, and resumed his own, as did
the Princes.
During the offertory the King at Arms and three He-
ralds carried the offerings to four Knights of the Holy
Ghost. ,These offerings arc a vase of silver gilt, containing
the wine, a silver loaf, a gold loaf, and a large dish of
silver gilt, containing the medals, struck on the Coro-
nation. After the elevation of the Host, the High
Almoner, Prince de croi, went to take the kiss of
peace from the Archbishop ; then going up to the
throne, lie gave it to the King. The Dauphin and
Princes of the Wood came to receive it of his Majesty,
when the Dauphin bent his knee. The Dauphin having
received the King's embrace (accolade), bent his knee to
his august father, who raised him, and held him long
pressed in his arms. This affecting scene made a profound
impression on the Assembly, and teats, produced by the
sweetest emotions, were mingled with unanimous cries of
" Vice le Roi 'ive k Dauphin !" The enthusiasm of the
spectators were without bounds.
