THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

MAY 4.

Tiie dicotirse delivered by the Prefect, and often interrupted by
the expi.essioo of the public joy, could only faintly paint to his
Majesty all the happiness which his presence inspired. What
stronger proof could be given of this, than the pleasing, disorder
which ev' ry where reigned ?—rnagistrates eeclestaties, citizens, sol-
diers, al: eagerly pressed around the vehicle which carried the des-
tinies of France. The King then, in truth took possession of his
capitri, when he entered upon the territory of the department of
the 'rive.

His Majesty appeared deeply sensible of those spontaneous testi-
monies of affection which could not be suppressed. Shouts a thou-
sand times repeated of " Vive le Roi! Vive notre Pere !" scarcely
permitted us to hear the answer of his Majesty. whose emotion
added still more to the effect of this touching spectacle.
It was thus amidst the crowds which pressed around his 4arriage,
that the King entered the town of St. Denis, wherehe was received
by the civil and military authorities, with the Mayor at their head.
When he left St. Denis to go to St. thorn, where he was to sleep,
it w,:s a gratirying spectacle to see these good villagers return to
their homes, happy at.having seen their Sovereivi, and at carrying
with them to their cottages the hope of repose add of peace, which
the Bourbons must for ever fix amongst us.
At a (patter to six, his Majepty arrived at the castle of St. °nen,
where he received the fclieitation:: of the principal bodies of the
state, and where he will pass the night. The national guard did
dwy at the evyle, ci.njoiuCy with the guard of honour, and tile
gendarmerie of Paris.

PARIAH MAY f.

I Emeat many ladies of distinction of this capital will go to meet
tie Kinz As tar a: St. Ono), and will form, it is said, one of the or-
nament: of his train.

Tlie Emperor of Anct►ia has ordered, that from the day of the
entrance of the King into his capital, the whole of the An.t►ian
troop now in tin. French territory, shall add the French to the
Austrian cockade, in te,ti►nony of the friendly relations so happily
re-established betwt en the two states.

It was on the Sd of May, 1789. that the States General were
opened ; on the 3.1 of May. 1614, arc King ►►f France will enter his
capital. What a picture, what a coincidence fur the philosophical
chKerver!

We learn from Magdeburg, that General Lemarrois, the com-
tnandant, after receiving di•patehes from the Prot isional Govern-
ment, had traosonMed his adhesion, and that of his gaunt)!!, which
was in a good state, and consisted of about 15,000 men. He had
concluded an armistice with General Taueurten, who commanded
the blockading corps.
CoMPIEGNE, 'MAY I. As soon as the arrival of the King here was
known at Paris, a crowd of persons of distinction hastened to pay
their re slices to his Majesty. The Prince of Benevento arrived at
four this morning : he was admitted at the King's levee, and had a
very long conference with his Majesty.
In the course of the day the Duchess d'Angonleme visited the
various apartments of the palace, which is magnificently furnished.
At four in the afternoon the Emperor of Russia arrived in a single
carriage without any retinue, and accompanied only by his first
Aide-de-Camp, General Chernicheff. He was receiVed at the foot
of the staircase by the Prince of Conde, who, in spite of his great age
and all Vie fatigues of an active life, still enjoys perfect health. His
Serene Highness conducted the Emperor Alexander to the King's
apartments, where the two monarchs embraced with warmth. They
had a long converation together, which displayed the most. affec-
tionate regard, and the ntost perfect confidence.
The Emperor then traversed the gallery to pay a visit to the
Prince of Conde. and was every where 6illowed by shouts of" Vive
Alexander! Vi vent nos generenx Allies !" Marshals Marinont,
Ney, and Nloncey, formed his train. On his return, one of the
market-Armen came up to the Emperor, and heoeed permission to
embrace him. His Majesty smiling complied with a very good
gi gee.

All the inhabitants of Compiegne who were admitted into the
apartments, were permitted to walk round their Majesties talile
daring dinner. The Emperor of Russia was seated between the
Icing and the Duchess d'Angouleme ; and during the repast it was
ease to see the tender interest with which that august Princess in-
spired him. Prince Lichtenstein, who had arrived soon after the
Emperor Alexander, had the hononr to dine with the Siverei‘ni.
The company was very numerous, and antornr, others we remarked
the l"riucc of Benevento, and Marshals Moncey, Ney, and Mar-
inout.

The Emperor Alexander set off on his return to Paris •t WIN
o'clock. iiis Majesty declined any escort.
