EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

[FROM' IRE MONITEUR.)
MUNICH, DEc. 7.—" Her Majesty the Empress
is now traversing a part of Germany, on her way
to Munich, and is in this strange country surround-
ed with the same honours as in. France. It seems
as if she had not quitted. her own States—every one
hastens to receive the Empress of the French.
People run to meet her ; the zeal of the cities se-
cond that of 'their. Sovereigns—Courts display the
majesty of ancient usages, and the ceremonials they
long since observed are revived in•her favour. The
re-union of all these parti,culars will furnish an in-
teresting detail.; though a number of them must
escape us in the rapidity of their course. I shall, •
therefore, confine, myself to the recital of a few, with
as much accuracy. as possible.
" On the.27th ult. at nine in the morning, her
Majesty left Strasburgh. Her suite was composed of
one 'Dame d'Honnehr, and *several Ladies of the
Palace ; the first Equerry, four Chamberlains, an ,
Equerry Cavalcadour, and other Officers. The Elec-
tors of BADEN and- WiatEmsurtO ,having solicited
her Majesty to remain with them some time, her
Majesty dispatched a Chamberlain to announce her
approach, accompanied by a Prefea of the Palace,
ordered to make arrangements with the Marshals of
the Court respeaing the apartments intended for her
Majesty.' •
• " At the moment Of her departure, the inhabi-
tants of Strasburgh exhibited sensible marks of their
regret at losing the pleasing opportunity of seeing
• her amongst them. The same sentiments were re-
peated at Kehl by the Civil and 11ilitary Authorities •
united, 'and the Ladies admitted into the Empress's
Circles.. „ The. Prefea addressed a speech to her, in.
the name of the Department ; and the Empress an-
swered the addressers; including the Ladies, ita•SuCh
a manner, that her emotions Were the strongest tes-
timonies of her own sensibility. .
After passing the Bridge of Kehl, her Majesty
found the Grand Chamberlain of the Elejtor of
Baden in waiting, with a detachment of Ele&oral
Troops, when the Guard of Honour which 'accom-
panied her from Strasbourg, and several pickets of
cavalry, ranged themselves in battalion, and coin- •
mitted the guard of her person to the escort from
Baden. Her horses were also replaced by others
from the stables of the Ele6tor ; and at each of the
stations she found .an Equerry belonging to the
Ele&or, a detachment of Troops, and eightthorses
for her carriage.
The weather was very fine, the roads pleasant,
and the ground firm, in consequence of a slight
frost ; , the aspe& of the country was very agreeable;
consisting of wood, well cultivated farms, and forests-
of firs. •
Her Majesty, stopping. at Rastadt to break-;
fast, _was _receivt.l4 at.. the Palace by .the Eleeto-
ral Prince, accompanied by the Grand Chamber-
lain, the Grand .Marshal of the Court, and two
other Chamberlains, presented by Ills Highness, viz.
M.
.Le Major-General D'Eex, and Le. Baron
DE BERK,ENI, with M. •Le Baron RIND (a Page);
an Officer of the French Court, M.•MAsSins; was
also Tregent. The Empress breakfitsted with the
Prince, and the Ladies of her suite in one of the
halls occupied by the Emperor during the sitting of
the Congress at Rastadt: This_palace is..a very large,
edifice, but is not inhabited. Her Ma,;tstA, 'key.

lug Rastadt, took the road to Carlsruhe, the rest-
duce of ale EleCto-r during a part of the year.
This palace was merdy a !Milting-box some years
ago, but has. been since considerabl7 embellished,
One of his ancestors being buried at Carlsruhe,
it is from that tireumstance the palace derives
its name. The Palace is situated between the city
and the park, forming .on each side of it a semi-
circle—a position , which aftbrds a very agreeable
prospect, as the streets in the city, and the avenues
of the park,' :equal in number, it at their ex-
tremities, near the Palace, as at one point. In
the front of the Palace there are a suite of arcades
.and edifices construded upon a similar plan.—
Nothing could be more imposing than the illumi-
nations of these arcades and buildings at the MO,
mein of the Empress's arrival, having, in the
centre of them, a golumn, bearing her 'Majesty's
cypher. -Her Majesty expressed much pleasure in
viewing the gardens belonging to. the Margtave
Louis Of BADEN, illuminated with Much taste,
and ornamented with ingenious emblems. This
Prince met' the Empress two miles from Carls-
ruhe, with a company of his body guards. Her
Majesty entered Carlsruhe about seven in the even-
ing, with the bells ringing and firing of cannon,
escorted by Prince Louis on "horseback, and, his
military household. Alighting from her carriage,'
her Majesty was received by his Royal Highness
the Elector; the streets of Carlsruhe being lined
with double files of soldiers. At the bottOm of the
grand staircase of the Palace, her Majesty found
her Royal Highness Madame La Margravine of
BADENL born Princess of Hesse4:tarmstadt, and
Madame La Margravine FREDERIC Of BADEN,
born Pri'ncess of Nassau Usingen. The EleCtor
presented them all to her Imperial Majesty; and
conducted her to the Hall of the Throne which
had been prepared for her. Soon after she had
retired to her apartment, the EleCtor announced
his intention of paying her a family visit, when the
Empress returned into the Hall 'of. the Throne to
receive him.' . The people assembled in the 'avenues
of the palace in great crowds to see her. The sound
of music was heard on all side's ; and there, as well
as on the road, she had the pleasure of witnessing
the cares and the attachment of the EleCtor to our
Sovereign as well as that general sentiment of ad-
miration already produced among these people by the
splendid name of the Emperor, the glorious proofs
he is now giving of his fidelity to his Allies,. arid his
readiness to defend them.

" The day after the Empress's arrival, all the
most,, distinguished personages of Carisruhe were
presented to her. After receiving a visit from the
Electoral family,
.and visiting the two Princesses;
her Majesty admitted the Diplomatic Corps, with
the Great Officers, Minitters, and Ladies attached
to the court. A Concert was perfornied in the
evening, at which all the Ladies displayed them-
selves in their richest dresses, and almost all in
the French taste. If this preference granted to our
fashions be in its kind a flattering degree of tri-
umph, the noble and elegant dress>f the Empress
could not but justify their choice, and promote the
• exampled it afforded.
" On' Saturday morning, at nine o'clock., ti Em-
press quitted Carlsruhe, the same ceremonial be-
ing observed by the Eleßor. and his . Court as
Upon her ;arrival, The- Electoral .Prince, and the
Nlargrave accompanied her on horseback
to Pfortzlieim, •where they breakfasted, and then
proceeded to Ensberg, at the extremity of the ter.
ritory of Baden. Here, as the States of the Duke
,of WIRTEMBER@ commence, the Grand Chamber-
lain M. Le Comte -DENISON, attended upon the
Empress. She also fbund, as before,. cavalry. sta-
tioned at the diife.rent pests. The Electoral Prince
and the Margrave • Louis then took leave of Her
Majesty, with all their suite :.and, I believe I might'
say, without any violation of the truth, or the deli-
cacy of the persons who composed this Court, that
it would be difficult to unite more dignity and sim-
plicity than they possess. At Carisruhe, and every
other plaCe where the Empress was received, she
•constantly:made the customary presents. •
" They had scarcely left the States of Baden,
when night overtook them ; the procession no* be-
came more Majestic.' Besides the numerous'fiam-
beaux borne by • the attendants, the country''
people 'had lighted tires almost all the way at
equal distances ; others put straw, &c. upon the ex-
tremities of long poles. About halt way between
Ensberg and .\ Stutgard the Ele6toral Prince
came to receive her Majesty, presenting to her
M. le Compte DE WINTZINGERODE and M. le
Baron DE WINIFFP,N, for Chamberlains of Service,
besides four Pages, two for the Chamber, and two'
for riding. The Prince then rode 'before her to
`Stutgard. Before she approached that City, a sig-
nal, placed upon, an eminence, announced her ar-
rival. Cannon was again heard ; the military, with
bands of musicians, and a crowing populace, ex-
tended thernselves'all the way to the gates of Stut-
gard, where a tripmplial arch :was -erecled ; from
thence to the Palace was one continued illumina-
tion. -Here again her Majesty . was received, as at
Carlsruhe; by the Eleetor and Madame the Elec.
tress. .

• " The order of 'the visits was the same; and On
the following day the' Empress received the Mini-
sters and- Ambassadors, and the Ladies of several
'Princes, who, •reiding far from StUtgard, had' availed
themselves of the opportunity to be presented to her
Majesiy.
" This Palace is still a fine building, notwith-
standing a 'partof it was consumed by ••fire a few
years since. Order, grandeur, and magnificence,
'vie with each other in the household and the ser-
vice of the Ele&or. We had an occasion 'of wit-
nessing all its pomp, in the banquet given on Sun-
day. - In the Saloon, appropriated for this pur-
pose, a table of eight covers • as elevated upon
several steps, -over which a canopy was suspended.
In a Tribune, at a small distance, a sele& orthes-
tra was placed. On each side of the table, but lower
down, two other tables were placed, containing
nearly one hundred covers each. The Empress
then made her appearance, condu&ed by the. Elec-
tor, •preceded ~.by the Grand Officers, 'among
whom were the Grand; and the First Marshal,'
each bearing the' insignia of their dignity, viz, a
headed with the Eletioral Crown. The.
music commenced, and the EmpreSs seating her-
self under‘the canopy at the table, with eight co-
vers, was followed by the Ele&or and the Ele&ress,
seating themselves on each side of her. The rest
et. tho Lledcaral kuoily at a Pone Hanneur,
,p..y

Seated themselves at this table, the Grand Officeri
standing in waiting arourid-while the attendants-
of the Empress were seated at one of the otfidt
tables, with the Ladies pros nted by, or attachei
to the two. Colifts. Their dresses were of the most
brilliant description ; and the richness and profusion-
of the service added to the elle& of this granie
speCtacle.
" The banquet being finished, her Majesty went
to the Theatre with their, Royal Highnesses, and,
which, though very capacious, could not contain
the number of persons who wished to be present.--7
An Opera was performed, the words of which were
I, German, and 'the music Italian. The dresses'of
the performers were solendid, and the deeoration
. very handsome; all supported by the Ere:' or'sene
rosity, which makes up for the deficiency of the re-
ceipts., A display of fire-works in the .front of dri
Palace succeeded to. the Opera.
" The Elector has another residence, riot less
agreeable, at Lonisburgin where the Einpress
breakhSted on Monday morning. The gardeus
are laid out in the English style. It is not to them
that 'we can apply the charming veeees of LILLE,
calculated to depreciate the' English of :te when it
is confined toy narrow limits-. :Here,
.en the con-
trary-, a tract, several mites in ''CotzipasA, olfers itself
for the exercise-of genius and art ; and expellee has
been proportioned to its vast extent, In faCt, it re-
quires time to examine all these Curious objetis.—
Her' Majesty remained at Stutgard from Saturday to
Monday morning;_ a visit which Their
nesses wished to extend, but which, however, was
only a continued series of civilities and obliging an-
ticipations with respect to Her Majesty and ilersuite.
The presentation of the great (iiiicers deputed
to meet Her Majesty by the Elector of _BAVARIA
then followed, viz. M. le 13aron Dc KERSLING,
Grand Equerry ; M. de Contrite De Tausp.Eaco‘
Grand Cup-bearer; and M. le Baron -De WREDE
these two last were nominated Chamberlains of Ser-
vice 'for Her Majesty's per Son.
Her Majesty proceeded without delay fitm
Goppengen to Munich ; but still there are several
very interesting places that demand our attention;
these they which the prodigies of the present
Campaignekvill for ever render celebrated. Some-
thing of This nature was expreSsed in a device to
one. of the illuminations at Carlsruhe—' Her ors
visura triamphos.'
' " .Approaching Ulm, it was natural to look for
the plain where the Enemy's Army had defiled be-
fore the Emperor, and laid down its arms. Beyond
Vim, the Wood and the Abbey of &hlingen, Guns-
. bourg, ,and all the-points marked in' the Bulletins,
catl46t fail exciting a lively curiosity, One feels a
pride in viewing them, and in being able to antiei=
pate the sentiments. of posterity. But, in the midst
of these martial -monuments, the -jae! eey of the
Empress seemed tootter a very striking contrast.--;
Near Ulm, then , Marshal AIIGEREACS head-quar-
ters, she was met by the Preoeh Troops;
pined with
Excellency at their head; 'when they J a de-
tachment from Wirtemberg, and the Guard of
Jdonour belonging to the City. At Aligsburgh Her
Majesty was received by the Bishop; who sent for-
ward several Officers of the Household, and eight
• horses. for her carriage. In fine, the way '.froth
Augsburgh to Munich wits decorated by s number
of triumphal arches and orchestras, the melody of
which was only 'hurt by their proximity.
On this route; several guards of honour arrived
in succession, to escort and increase the cavalcade,'
the whole presenting-a swell of pomp, softened by
the most agreeable sensations. It was a degree of.
zeal, r the successor to fear, a ,display of festivity con-
trasted with the late anourning for, 'the, cohseqdences
of the battle. Every thing that liad been previously
asserted of the Empress's benevolence, seemed !still to
attend.' her,-and forM'lsart of her train. In fast,, 'it
might hare, been saide,that the..thigel 1?"? Peace had
visited those regions.
I cannot oncludenny. detail of Her Majesty's
journey, ..but .wit. mentioningesome particulars of
her reception at Munich, where the arrived eight]
days after her departure froM Stra3bourgh. ate: •
forths of etiquette were the shine as at the other.:
places, but the pleasure her presence inspired wore
a more distinguished aspea. In almost every street
tapestry was. to be seen npon the fronts of the
houses, with the windows ornamented with trans-
parencies, and the most flattering allegorical devices;
while the expenses Of"linliViduals in illdmihations,
seemed to rival those of the public buildings. 'Sense
state carriages had been sett into the .environs of
Munich, for Her Majesty and her,suite ; but though •
she preferred ber travelling carriages, her entry i.vas.
not , theless brilliant, and the testimony of the
neral joy proved its brightest ornament."

_ .
. Yesterday evening,. between 4 and 5 o'clock, as
one of the Bath long stage coaches, from the Sara-
cen's Head,_yriday-stree, was prdc. ceding dos.vii.the
Stand, near Hangeriord-street, on its way out of
town; :the off hind whi!el.brdlce‘ in pieces, the car-
riage, was.overset, and the outside passengers, coach-
man; . &c. Wert: precipitated with great violence
against the iron rails,of•an opposite shop, and one •
or two were actually thrown some distance into'the
shop. A poor man who was on - the top came with
such violence to theground;that his head was dread-
fully bruised, and his-arms, legs, and other parts of
his' body, so fraalured, that he was taken up sense- ..
less, and - immediately Carried- to t!-.4.: WLstininster
Infirmary. An elderly Lady, who ‘,..as an .insido
passenger,,had her hand lacerated in a•shockang•nian—
ner by the glass, and it was generally suppOsed that
. it must be cut off; being a large woman, it was
with great difficulty she was extricated from the
coach. Several other
.passengers were bruised and
otlierWise injured, but not materially. It was a car-
riage of the descriptiOn called a double coach, and the
accident arose from the nbt being sufficiently
stronvo sustain the weight of the vehicle.
