VISIT

OF THE

EMPEROR AND EMPRESS
TO THE CITY.

GUILDHALL.

At about half-past two the Emperor and
Empress entered the hall, and at this moment it
presented a scene of the greatest magnificence
imaginable.

The scene within the hall previously to the arri-
val of the august visitors-was grand in the extreme.
The company, which had begun to arrive in large
numbers as early as ten o'clock, had very
nearly all assembled; and filling, as they did, the
whole of %the west end of the building, and- the
north and south sides, formed of themselves
a most • brilliant and varied feature, but,
when viewed in conjunction with the gorgeous
decorations of the Hall, the rich, flowing robes of
the aldermen and common council, the embroidered
uniforms of . the representatives of the different
corps diplontatique, constituted a tout ensemble
of extraKdinary splendour. All this burst at
once upon the eye the moment one had passed
through the principal entrance into the time-
honoured edifice with a niagic and enchanting effect.
The illthion of the scene Wa-Ts'irEnTaTtierbf-th-e-
-" eloquent music" which was discoursed by the
splendid band of the Royal Horse GUards (Blue),
and of which the following is a programme :

Overture—Oberon Weber.
Selection—Le Chalet A. Adam.
Waltz—Fruhlingsboten Gung'l.
Selection-7 Preciosa
War March of the Priests—Athalie
Overture—Guillaume Tell ... Rossini.
Selection—Diamans de la Couronne
Waltz— Fair Star
Overture—Zampa Herold.
Overture—MasAaniello

Selection—Etode du Nord
Waltz--Tanz Perlen Gunel.

Selection—Donna del Lago
Fackel Tahz

The band was under the direction of Mr. J. R.
T u tton, band-master.
As the names of the company were not,
owing to an accidental oversight on the
part of the committee, announced at the door
a number of distinguished personages passed in
unrecognised by a large proportion of those pre-
sent, but towards half-past twelve o'clock,
those arrivals were announced in the usual
manner, and amongst those whose titles we
overheard were—Lord Panmure, Viscount Har-
dinge, the Greek Minister, the Sicilian Mi-
nister, his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador,
all of whom, is making their appearance, were
greeted with loud acclamation. To these succeeded
Sir C. Wood (First Lord of the Admiralty), Earl
of Clarendon (Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs),. who were received in like manner. Besides

those we have mentioned there were also in attend-
ance the . American, Sardinian, Swedish, Portu-
guese, and. Brazilian Ministers ; garl of Harrowby,
the Marquis of Salisbury, Viscount Canning, Sir
W. Molesworth, and Sir B. Hall.
The arrival of the august visitors it was under-
stood would take place about half-past one o'clock,.
and, as that hour drew nigh, the excitement of the=
assembled multitude, which could not have num-
bered less than 2,003 persons was raised to a
painful degree, but it was for the moment relieved
by the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke
of CAtntaidge at lalt-past oue o'clock precisely.
His Royal Highness, who looked remarkably *ell,

and was attired in'the uniform of the Coldstream
Guards, was enthusiastically cheered as lie was
conducted to his seat, which lie acknowledged by
bowing in a most courteous mariner. His Royal
HighnesS was immediately followed by the Mar-
quis •of Lansdowne, the Duke of Argyll, Lord
Palmeoton, and Sir George Grey.
About this time it was rumoured that the Em-
peror and Euipress were close at baud, and this
was succeeded by a hum of anxious expectation. '

The band had just brought to a conclusion the
beautiful overture of " Gudlatne Tell," when the
cessation of its strains was taken up by a merry
peal from the old bells of Bow Church. Presently
a loud Shout of " Vive l'Empereur" Was distinctly

over-heard outside, and the Lord Mayor, accom-
panied by the members of the Committee, the Alder-
menand Corporation, hurzied to the grand entrance
to receive their Imperial Majesties with becoming

honour and formality. Immediately the band of the
Royal Life Guards struck up " Portant pour la
Syrie," which wai re-echoed by the band within,
and to the music of this noble air, and amidst
a hearty cheer of welcome from the whole assembled
company, the Emperor and Empress, preceded
by the Lord Mayor and the usual attendants on
such occasions, slowly advanced up the centre of
the hall and took up their respective positions
on the dais. His Majesty wore the uniform of a
General of Division, and, the Empress, who
was attired in a rich brocaded silk dress, looked
extremely well, and both very gracefully bowed
their acknowledgments to the sincere and general
shouts of " Vive l'Empereur" and " Viva l'lunpera•
trice," which resounded on every side.
The brilliant suite of the Royal personages having
taken up their positi on round the dais,theLord Mayor
adianced, and having presented the learned Re-
corder to•thelF Majesties, the latter, in a distinct
and forcible manner, read the address-on behalf of
the Lord Mayor and_ Corporation of the _City of
London as follows:

"TO HIS IMPERIAL 35IIESTY THE EMPEROR OF TE*
FHEHCH.

ci we,.the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of
the City. Majesty
London, in Common Council assembled, de-
sire to offer to your ajesty our heartfelt congratulations
" May it please your Majesty,"—
on the arrival of your Majesty and the Empress of the
French in this country as the guests of our most gracious
Queen ; awl, on behalf of our fellow-citizens and our-
selves, we humbly tender to your Majesties the warmest
expression of our gratitude for the welcome visit by
which you have .deigned to honour our

tual friendship and common interest so happilyuniting
"The cordial alliance of two such mighty Powere,
cemented and seated by intimate and frank intercourse
between their rulers, must sway the destinies of all, will
abate the pride of our common enemies, increase the
confidence of our allies, and give new vigour to our arms.
" By the wise policy of your Majesty's reign all our
ancient jealousies have been appeased, and the flags of
France and England now mingle their colours alike in
the Baltic and in the East. Ranged together in a
righteous cause, braving like hardships, and shedding
their blood side by .side in vietory, the soldiery of our
united armies and the seamen of our combined fleets
have learnt to regard each other with the love of brave
and generous comrades, second only to the love they
bear their respective countries, and, while such are the
feelings, we rejoice that sentiments akin to these are
growing daily and sinking deeply into the breasts of the
people of these great and neighbouring nations.
" None can doubt that the allied forces thus animated,
led in perfect harmony by commander; of tried skill and
valour, and guided. by united counsels at home, will
achieve by arms the just and inambitious object of the
present war ; unless, as we may hope, the efforts of as.
sembled statesmen shall yet avert the calamities of pro-
tracted warfare by the speedier negotiation of an honour-
able and enduring peace.
1 "This cordial reception, therefore, of the chosen and
puissant Emperor of the French by the illustrious Sove-
reign who reigns over these realms and lives in the hearts
of the British people we regard as a type of a close and
lasting friendship between the two nations, awl the hap-
piest augury of a returning time when, undisturbed-in
the. onward course of civilisation, the nations of. Europe
may again lay aside the sword, and resume their *exalted
rivalry in the works of beneficence alone. •

" We are earnestly anxious further to express to your
Imperial Majesty the lively pleasure and respectful ad.
miratton with which we have seen you accompanied on
.thiel'appYobeasion. by your illustrious Coinure' her yra-
jesty the Empress of the Freach. We tender to your

Majesty the expression of our confident hope that you
may ever find in the affections of aonsestic life the best
solace and support which this world can afford under the
cares and weight of the high destiny you are now ful-
filling with 13 uch conspicuous power and moderation, and
we fervently pray that life and health may, by the bless-
ing of Providence, be-vouchsafedto your Majesties for
many years to come." _ _

The- Empress rose from her seat before the Re-
corder commenced reading the Address, and, with
the Emperor, remained standing. When the pas-
sage•alluding to the Consort of the Emperor was
read a loud and prolonged cheer rang through the
Hall, and was smiling y and graciously acknow-
ledged by the illustrious object of the compliment.
At the conclusion of the Address the Recorder
advanced, with the usual obeisances, and placed a
copy of, is
-iii the hands of the Emperor, who, after
a short pause, firoceeded to read, in a firm and dis-
tinct voice, thougt with a slightly foreign accent,
the following rep'''. :
" My Lord
~11.1ayor,—After the cordial reception I
hare experienced lroin• the Queen, nothinc, could affect
me more deeplkilian t • ~ - . tunents towards the Empress
and myself to which '.ti y Lord Mayor, have given
expression on _the part o . e city of London ; for the
city of Londen represents the available resources which
a world-wide commerce affords both for civilisation and
for war. Flattering as are your praises, I accept them,
because they are addressed much more to France than
to myself ; they are. addressel to a nation whose interests
are to-day everywhere identical with your own.—(loud
a,)plause)-- they are aldressed to an army and navy
united to purs by an heroic companionship in danger
and in glory —(renewect applause)—they are addressed
to the policy of the two Governments, which is based on
-truth, ea. moderation, and on justice. For myself, I
have retained on the throne the same sentiments of sym-
pathy and esteem for the English people that I professed
as an exile—(loud and prolonged cheering)—while I en-
joyed here the hospitality of your Queen; and if I have
acted in,accordance with my convictions, it is that the
interest of the nation which has chosen me, no less than
that of universal civilisation, has made it a duty. Indeed
England and France are naturally united on all the great
questions of politics and of human progress that agitate
the world. From the shores of the Atlantic to those of
the Mediterranean—from the Baltic to the Black Sea

—from the desire to abolish slavery, to our hopes
for the amelioration of all the countries of Europe—l see
in the moral as in the political world for our two nations
but one course and one end. (Applause.) It is, then,
only by unworthy considerations and pitiful rivalries
that our union could be dissevered. If we follow the
dictates of common sense alone, we shall be sure of the
future. (Loud applause.) You are right in interpreting
my presence among you as a fresh and convincing proof
of my energetic co-operation in the prosecution of the
war, if we fail in Obtaining an honourable peace. (Ap-
plause.) Should we so fail, although our difficulties may
be great, we may surely count on a successful result ;
for not only are our soldiers and sailors of tried valour—
not only do our two countries possess within themselves
unrivalled resources, but above all—and here lies their
superiority—it is because they are in the van of sill gene-
rous and enlightened ideas. The eyes of all who suffer
instinctively turn to the West. Thus our two nations
are even snore powerful from the opinions they represent
than by the armies and fleets they have at their com-
mand. (Great applause.) lam deeply grateful to your
Queen for affording me this solemn opportunity of ex-
pres4ing to you my own sentiments and those of 'France,
of which lam the ir. terpreter. I thank you in my own
name and in that of the Empress for the frank and
hearty cordiality with which you have received us. (Ap-
planse.) We shall take back with us to France the last-
ing impression made on minds thoroughly able to appre-
ciate it, of the imposing spectacle which England pre-
sents, where virtue on the throne directs the destinies of
n country under the empire of a liberty without danger
to its grandeur."
The moment the tmperor concluded his reply a
loud cheer was raised by those who were in a posi-
tion to hear its Purport, which was taken up and
're-echoed by the occupants of the remoter parts of
the Hall, to whom the proceeding had been little
more than dumb'show.

The Lord IVlayor then presented to the Em-
peror and Empress Mr. John Wood and Mr.
Alderman Wire, the mover and seconder of the
Address ; Mr. Deputy Harrison,, the Chairman
of the Entertainment Committee ; Aldermen Sir
P. Laurie, Faiebrother, Copeland, Wilson, Sir
C. Marshall, Hunphery, Sir G. Carroll, Sir J.
D uke, rM. P., H outer, Sidney, Farncomb, Salo-
mons, Finnis, Garter, Sir. R. W. Carden, and
Oubitt ; Alderman and Sheriff Muggeridge, Alder-
men Kennedy and Rose, Mr. SLeriff Crosley,
Messrs. Barnard, Ratlibone, Harker, Andertou,
and several other members of the Common
Conneii.

The Emperor and Empress then descended from
the dais into the open space in front, where they
remained for some moments in conversation with
the Lord Mayer.and the Lady Mayoress, to whom
they expressed their admiration of the decorations
of the Hall, and their gratification at the hearty
Welcome they had received. At this time • the
Duke of Cambridge quitted the place he had pre-
viously occupied, and, advancing to the Emperor,
was greeted by him in the most cordial manner.
His Royal Highness then paid his respects to her
Imperial Majesty, who entered into animated con-
versation with him for some minutes, the Emperor,
meanwhile, being engaged in conversation with
Count Wale w ski.
The members of 'the Entertainment Committee
then formed a double line down the avenue, and
the Emperor and .Empress, preceded by the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and followed by the
Doke of Cambridge, the Cabinet Ministers, the
corps diplomatique, and others of the more distin-
guished guests, proceeded to the Council-chamber,
where a sumptuous dejeuner had been providel.
The Emperor and Empress sat at the head of the
table, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress being
vis-a-vis. The Duke of Cambridge sat on the right
of the Emperor, and that side of the table was al-
most exclusively occupied by the members of the
Cabinet and their ladies. On the left of the Em-
press sat Count Walewski, the Countess Walewski,
the Austrian Ambassador, and the other members
of the diplomatic body.
In the course of the dejeuner the Lord Mayor
gave " The Health of the Queen," which was drunk
by the whole company standing. His Lordship af-
terwards proposed." The Health of the Emperor
and Empress of the French," which was received
with a similar demonstration of respect.
Before leaving the room the Emperor was for
some time in conversation with the Marquis of
Lansdowne ; and the Empress, when on the point
of departure, recognising Lord Clarendon, entered

Shortly before 4 o'clock a flourish of trumpets an-
nounced the departure of the illustrious visitors,
and, a procession having again been formed in the
same order as at their entrance, except that it was
now headed 1 y the band of the Horso Guards (who
during the drjeuner had been posted in an adjoin-
ing room, where they had performed several
favourite airs), playing " Partant pour la Syrie,"
the Emperor and Empress passed through the Hall
to their carriages, amid the most warm and enthu-
siastic demonstrations of respect and regard.
In the corridor, between the Hall and the Coun-
cil-chamber a number of valuable portraits of the
Napoleon family, lent for the occasion by Herr
Wetter, were arranged. They included portraits
of the Emperor Napoleon 1., Joseph Bonaparte,
King of Spain ; Jerome, King .of Westphalia ;
Letitia, mother of the Emperor Napoleon 1., and
grandmother of the present Emperor, and Hor-
tense, consort of Louis Bonaparte, King of Hol-
land, and mother of the Emperor Napoleon 111.
In passing through the corridor these familylike-
nesses naturally-attracted the notice of the Empe-
ror, who paused before the portrait of his mother,
and, directing the attention of the Empress to it,
with -much feeling exclaimed, " This is kind,
indeed ! " -

After the departure of the Emperor and Empress
the general company partook of a sumptuous enter-
tainment, which was provided in the Council-
chamber, the Crypt, and several other apartments
in the Guildhall.

way to the city.
