WHITEHALL, AUG. 24.
The Right Honourable Sir George Grey, Bart., has re-
ceived the following despatch from the Earl of Clarendon,
K.G., dated St. Cloud, the 22d of August, 1855.
St. Cloud, August 22,1855.
Sir,—The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
and the Princess Royal, arrived on the 19th instant, in the
" Victoria and Albert" yacht, at Boulogne, where her
Majesty was received by the Emperor of the French,
amidst the salutes of the army of Boulogne, posted on the
heights, and the acclamations of a vast concourse of people
assembled for the occasion.
At Amiens, where the Queen stopped for a short time,
and along the whole line of railway, her Majesty was re-
ceived with every demonstration of respect and kind
feeling.
At Paris, from the station to St. Cloud, these feelings
were manifested in the strongest manner; and I can con-
vey no better idea of the reception of her Majesty by the
people of Paris than by stating, that the enthusiasm was
quite as great as that which greeted the Emperor and Em-
press on their arrival in London.
The same cordial welcome has been given to the Queen
at the various places where her Majesty has since appeared
in public; and her Majesty is profoundly sensible of the
spontaneous and universal kindness which has been dis-
played towards her by the people of France.
It is impossible to doubt that the Queen's visit will still
more closely cement the alliance which now so happily
subsists between the Sovereigns and the people of England
and France.
I am happy to inform you that the Queen, Prince Albert,
the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal are in
perfect health.--I have, &c., CLARENDON.
Right Hon. Sir George Grey, G.C.B , &c.
