WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.

Neither the Emperor nor Empress have been seen °tit-
side the Castle walls this day. It is said that the Em-
pres., Eugenie suffered severely from the sea voyage,
and is at the resent time not yet entirely recovered.
In the hope of being gratified with the sight of the
Emperor and Empress, several thousands of spectltor.,
a great number of whom were in carriages or on horse-
back, assembled in the Long Walk. At five o'clock
the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales and Prince Alfred, and attendants, rode down
from the Castle, and were loudly cheered by the multi-
tude.
Soon afterwards her Majesty the Queen, accompanied
by the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Wellington,
attended by the Equerries in Waiting, in three carriages,
arrived, and it ere loudly cheered. The gentlemen com-
posing the suite of the Emperor of the French followed
immediately atten%ards on horseback.
The reception of the Emperor is thus announced to
the French nation in yesterday's Moniteur

The Emperor and Empress arrived yesterday even-
ing (Monday) at. Windsor amid the loudest acclamations.
The Queen of England gave the Emperor and Empress
a most cordial and gracious reception, His Royal High •
ness Prince Albert, who had come to Dover in order to
rec.,ive their Majesties, accompanied them to the Palace
of Windsor. It is impossible to give an idea of the
enthusiasm with which tlm Emperor and Empress have
been received by the English nation from the instant
their DZ++jesties set foot on British soil. At London,
during the passage ot the Imperial procession, more
than a million of persons were counted, the majority of
them wearing the colours of France, and uttering en-
thusiastic vivats. The town of Windsor had raised
triumphal arches, and the battlements ot the castle were
illuminated. Never.has a' f ireign Sovereign received a
welcome so cordial and so splendid, To-day (Tuesday)
the Emperor, the Empress, and the Queen of England,
witnessed near Windsor-park a magnificent review of ca-
valrysod artillery. The day was floe, and the manoeuvres
were executed am►d the cheers of the crowd, who thronged
to see this brilliant ►nilitsry festival."

The Emperor of the French has bought the Schloss
Arenberg, near the lake of Constanc) formerly the re-
sidence of his mother when Duchess of? St. Lea.
At the review on Tuesday the Queen and the Empress
wore dresses of a light colour, with dark scarfs and veils„
hir Majesty having on s green b nnet, and the Empress
one of a blue col•Pur. The Emperor of the French wa,
mounted on his fav,inrite. charger, Phillips. The fame
of his Majesty's 16 E•ficlisli .horSes. brought over the
Duke of Wellington (Master of the Horse t) the Queen)
to Windsor on Tuesday at an early hour, to inspect the
animals.

11010 SCOPE OF TI-713 EMPEROR OF THE

FRENCH.

To-morrow, the 20th of April, is the anniversary of
the of Napoleon 111. The fact had escaped
our O
benc•thlld
that great watcher of times abd seasons, the illustriom•
T:cytion till our attention was called to it by
astrologer Raphael--the Lill., of the 19th century.
Our astrological edneadon baying been sadly ne
glected, we !mist honestly colife.s that the technical
language employed by this venerable sage has rendered
his luctibrations on the astral indications of the future
fortune of the Emperor in a great measure a sealed
book to us. It is therefore gratifying to learn from one
passage, which is couched in common English, that the
positions which the planets that dominated at the Em-
peror's birth assume at the close of the 47th Solar re

V) ution, premise him "g eat stlaeess, good health, new
friends, pecuniary benefit, &c."
On this day—when the C.‘rporalinn of London en-
.

tertain the Emperor at Guildhall---it may not be unin-
teresting to the-friend of our esteemed Lord Mayor to
learn that., according to Raiihael, the Moon plays an
important part. in the Imperial. Horoscope. The eru-
dite astrologer is indeed of opinion, that "the Moon
i 4 alwevs mohair! to some extent, if nit fully so."

From the Emperor's nativity, which the sage puillislatd
in 1853, it appears that the Moon was "on the cusp of
of the second hou,e, but her great northira latitude ele
vated the luminary so much in a mundane position as to
cause it to be no less than 6 degrees from the cu-p
thereof, and consequently brought it within the bylegia-
cal limit." This is, indeed, a wonderful coincidence);
for inasmuch as "Hyleg" means " the Giver of Life,'
the planetary position at the time of the Emperor's birth
clearly foretold that his health would one day be given
—or proposed—by a Moon when " elevated in a mun-
dane position."
What follows is oracularly obscure, but, on the whole,
encouraging. "The significations are most striking and
complex, referring to both good and evil ; namely, the
sextile of the Sun and Jupiter, the latter being on the
radical place of tlie,Mcon, is very favourable, giving a
great impetus to the national prosperity of France.
The arts, sciences, and commerce flourish ; but the con-
junction of the Sun and Mars points to some extraordi-
nary warlike which gr. atly redound to the national
honour and glory." Of course tits watcher of "the stars
in their rourses" never condescends to stoop from the
" high lonely tower" in which he prosecutes his astral
reeaiches to listen to the vulgar hum of what is going
onucrlcen earth. Nothing can have ruched his ear about
the opening of the Palais de l'lnduinrie on May-day, or
the Emperor's projected visit to the Crimea. But the
stars have told him all.
When we ventured to remark, a day or two ago, that
a parallel between the visit of Henry VIII. to France
and that of Napoleon 111. to England, was calculated to
impress upon the mind a conviction of the unchangeable-
ness of human nature in all ages, we did not count upon
