Extract of a letter, dated Poole, Aug. 24.—"
mentio»ed yesterday the landing of the late Royal
Family of France--they had just landed at the time
of my writing; they seine with their suite and bag-
gage in two steamers and a dock-yard craft. On
corning tip the harbour, the Ex-King, seeing large
crowds collected on the quay, was afraid he should
be insulted; and although the collector, who went
011 board, assured him that no such thing would oc-
cur, he had the vesel anchored at Stakes, a quarter
of a mile front the quay, while Mr. %Veld came on
shore to make his observations on the dispositions
of the people. IN report gave the King confidence,
and the vessel came to the quay, all the party being
on deck. The King, Duke d'Angouleme, Duke de
Bordeaux and his tutor, landed on the Ham-side,
where the carriage of Mr..Donghty, of Upton-house,
was in waiting to receive them, and in which they
immediately set off towards Lulworth. The King
shook blunts with most of the. persons who were
Near him on getting into the carriage, and expressed
himself in strong terms grateful to the collector and
officers for their kind attention, and addressing him-
self aloud to the crowd around him, thanked all for
their civility to him. The ladies afterwards landed
at the custom-house steps; and, on arriving at the
Antelope, the Duchess de Berri, in particular, ex-
pressed with great feeling and gratitude the kind re-
ception that they, as she termed themselves, " a
distressed family," had met with. Our Members
celled on them, also Lady B. Ponsonby (wife of the
lion. Mr. 'Ponsonby): they breakfasted at Mr. Lis-
ter's this morning, and went oil in his carriage ;
their own carriages had the crown and decoritions
on several of the panels effaced, and bore other marks
of the rough usage they met with in France."

The deposed Monarch arrived here yesterday

ment steamer, and immediately proceeded, in the
carriage of li. Doughty, Esq., of Upton-house, to
Luhvortk Castle, accompanied by the Dukes d'An-

'flip whole party appeared in excellent spirits,
and highly giatified with the kind reception they
met with. They walked about the town last even-

NEW ROUTE TO INDIA.

(From a Bombay Paper of April b.)

In our Supplement of Tuesday last we briefly
alluded to the sudden and unexpected return to
this country of Mr. Waghorn, the gentleman who,
under the auspices of the communities of Calcutta,
Madras, the Isle of France, and Cape of Good
Hope, proceeded to England in October, 1828, to
take the necessary measures for establishing a re-
gular communication by steam between Great
Britain and India.
We have now become possessed of all the cir-
cumstances connected with Mr. Waghorn's return,
and as they are such as furnish this enterprising and
meritorious individual with increased cl►ums to the
confidence and most liberal e►►couragement of the
Indian community, in the arduous undertaking he
has embraced, we shall offer no apology for giving
them publicity at length, and entreating our readers'
particular attention to the facts they d►sclose.

It appears that in the month of July, 1828, the
subscribers to the Steam Navigation Fund at Cal-
cutta passed a resolution to the effect, that if no
speculation promising greater or equal success were
undertaken before the 14th of January, 1829, the
unappropriated fund for the encouragement of steam
navigation should, under proper security, be applied
for the purpose of enabling Mr. Waghorn to curry
his plan into execution. In view to encourage the
scheme, the Bengal Government consented to allow
Mr. Waghorn to collect postage at certain rates,
proposed by himself, on such letters and parcels as
he might bring out on his first voyage from England.
The Madras community assembled and declared
their desire of seconding to the utmost of their
power the efforts made at Calcutta, to which end
arrangements were made for obtaining subscriptions
up to the 14th January, 1829, (the date on which it
was determined at Calcutta the East India trade
committee in London should be directed to dispose
of the Steam Funds.) The Madras Government
sanctioned the same rates of postage as the Govere-
ment-General had agreed to allow; support was
promised from the Isle of France; the people at the
Cape were enthusiastic in their desire to advance the
project of Mr. Waghorn; and even the little settle-
ment of St. Helena did not scruple to manifest its
interest in the undertaking. The people at Bombay
did—nothing, from what cause we cannot divine;
but it is not too late in the day, and they may now
make up for former apathy by taking the lead in
adopting measures to indemnify' the enterprising in-
dividual in question for all he has suffered or lost by
the neglect we are presently to detail.
Thus encouraged to look for pecuniary support,
and relying with confidence on the perfect success
of his matured and well-digested plans. Mr. Wag-
horn arrived in Englund in April, 1829. The mer-
cantile classes connected with India, the East India
Company,and many high publicfunctionariee, looked
forward with pleasure to the accomplishment of a
project involving such important considerations to
this country and Great Britain. In the month of
June, at latest, Mr. Waghorn expected to receive
the necessary funds from India, or an intimation of
the reason of their non-appearance. But June,
July, August, and September passed away, and no
letters came. It was now time for Mr. Waghorn to
look about him, and though assistance in the accom-
plishment of his grand scheme was freely offered by
the merchants, and the East India Company had
voted the steam machinery, yet he was determined
not to take a single step until he had personally
ascertained the cause of the delay in the transmission
of the materiel from India. About this time it was
generally known that the Bombay Government had
resolved on sending the steamer Enterprise to Suez,
and it occurred to Mr. Wughorn that if he could ob-
tain a courier's passport and despatches from the
Court of Directors, he would be enabled to reach
Suez in time to meet the Enterprise, and at the
same time have an opportunity of ascertaining the
best mode of effecting the regular steam communica-
tion between England and India, via the Red Sea.
After three several applications, Mr. Waghorn at-
tained
the object of his wishes. The Court of
Directors had important despatches to forward, and
to Mr. Waghorn they were intrusted.
We now come to Mr. Waghorn's journey to
Trieste, Alexandria, Suez, and Juddair, rn illustra-
tion of which it may be as well to publish the 1
de-
tailed sketch of his route as politely furnished us by
that gentleman. It will be seen that the journey to
Trieste, a distance of 1,260 miles, was performed
(including stoppages) in the incredibly short space
of nine days and a half,--a less time we have reason
to believe than was ever employed by any English-
man on the same journey. Italian couriers, it is said,
accomplish the last in eight days with relays of
horses, and no possible incumbrance, when stimu-
lated by the prospect of a reward.
