MOVEMENTS OF THE EMPEROR--VISIT
TO THE BRITISH FLEET.
The Emperor left his hotel at Calais, at ten yes-
terday (Friday) morning, mounted, and, accom-
panied by a few officers, proceeded on a visit to the
various encampments. His Majesty was attired in
the uniform of a general in the French army, wore
the grand cross of the Legion of Honour, and the
imperial insignia. He was mounted on a splendid
chestnut charger, which he managed with much
grace and dignity, and looked well, but as usual
serious and reserved. On his left hand rode Gene-
ral Baraguay d'Hilliers, and his sole remaining
cortege consisted of Generals Ducrocq, Grisy, and
Dugue, Colonel 4'leury, of the Guides, and a foreign
officer in the Sardinian uniform. His body guard
consisted of two gensdarme in front, two Chasseurs
Cheval behind, and three grooms in the imperial
livery. The crowd was very great in every street,
and his Majesty was loudly cheered as he passed
along. His first visit was paid to the troops in the
Glacis, when he rode along the lines amid prolonged
cries of " Vivo l'Empereur," both from soldiers
and civilians, while the military bands played alter-
nately " Partant pour la Syrie" and " God Save
the Queen." The latter air was at once recognised,
and loudly cheered by the crowd. After a short
conversation with the officers, his Majesty pro-
ceeded to the ramparts, paying a similar compli-
ment to the Chasseurs tie Vincennes, and returned
slowly through the Grande Place to his hotel.
While the Imperial cort'ge was crossing the Place,
a rather interesting incident occurred. Two regi-
ments were here drawn up to receive his Majesty
with military honours, while the band played
march. Just as the Emperor was leaving th,e,
ground they struck up " God save the Queen,"
when he immediately checked his horse, uncovered,
and remained on the ground until the air was
finished. On returning to the hotel, the Emperor
dismounted from his horse, and with his suite
entexed.theimperial carriages in waiting, and pro'

o ceded, accompanied by the officers before men-
tioned, on board the Queen Hortense, for a visit
to the British Commodore, the Hon. W. F. Grey,
on board the Hannibal, 91. He subsequently
sailed round the fleet, and landed at tho pier.
His Majesty walked unattended through the crowd,
and was loudly cheered.
The Emperor left Calais for Paris yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock.
The Emperor arrived in Paris last night at eleven
o'clock.
The Emperor visited the British ships of war
yesterday, and was received with all possible
li on o ur.

It would appear from the following, which is
contained in another communication, that the
Emperor had some difficulty in reaching the fleet :
—At 12.40 the Emperor embarked on board the
Refine Hortense ; at 2 p.m. the yacht was approach-
mg the English squadron ; at 2.8 the squadron
saluted, shortly after the Emperor got into the
barge, and struggled againt a WSW full wind and
tide, for 20 minutes ; at 2.50 the Emperor desired
the Fire Queen to stop and take them in tow ; the
Corse, French corvette, was also hailed, and took
the Royal barge in tow to the commodore's ship.
On board at 3.3 and saluted ; a heavy sea going.
Marshal Vaillant fell partly into the sea, and was
pulled out.
The Moniteur of to-day (Saturday) announces
the I lockade of Cronstadt, St. Petersburg, and the
ports of the Gulf of Finland.

EMBARKATION OF FRENCH TROOPS AT
CALAIS FOR THE BALTIC.
On the whole of Thursday the troops kept
streaming into Calais from various quarters, and,
with all the alacrity of their nation, proceeded to
locate themselves in their allotted quarters. The
fine battering train, all brass guns, lumbered
sullenly along towards the quay, in order to
be as near as possible to the point of embarka-
tion. Neither men nor horses were in such high
condition as ours on a review day at Woolwich,
but both looked rough and ready, fit for business,
and formed together as imposing and warlike a
procession as the greatest military critic could
desire. The far-famed Cbasseurs de Vincennes
(two battalions) made for the ramparts, and en-
camped themselves under the trees with the
rapidity of magic. The utility of the new French
tent was here made perceptible. This primi-
tive mansion is composed simply of six long
pieces of canvass, with buttons and button-
holes at the edges of each, to form the junction.
Each soldier carries a piece nicely folded up on the
top of his knapsack, where it forms little or no
encumbrance, and when the camp is to be pitched he
unfolds his share, buttons it on to his comrade's
piece, and so on until six are firmly joined together.
One or two light boughs cut without ceremony
wherever they offer themselves from the neighbour-
ing trees complete the preparations, and in a few
Minutes six valiant heroes of the grand army are
lying at full length comfortably smoking in their
extemporised pavilion. It must be admitted that
the ceiling is not of a very high pitch, being not
more than four feet from the ground at its greatest
point of elevation, but then the men are of low
stature, and have a wonderful facility of making
themselves at home at the shortest possible notice,
and under the most apparently hostile combina-
nation of circumstances. The agile Chasse urs were
not an hour on the ramparts, when their canvas
city stood in regular streets, their short Roman-
looking swords hung festooned picturesquely round
the trunks of the trees, the vivandiere plied her
merry calling, and young conscripts of irrepressible
musical tendencies were volunteering lyric effu-
sions, more remarkable for their length and
body of sound than their melody. Some of the
seniors affectionately polished their carabines, and
explained to the wondering fair ones who stood
around the mode in which the sight was to be fixed
in order to kill respectively at three hundred, five
hundred, or a thousand metres, and everywhere
there were present the life, bustle, and details of a
camp, looking as natural and matter-of-course as
if they had been six months in existence. At the
end of the rampart stands the Phare, from the top
of which similar operations might be seen going on
in the glacis, where the third regiment of the line
were also making their domestic arrangements.
Within the town similar bustle was perceptible, the
cafes were all crowded, and the proprietors of the
tables d'hote were obliged to exercise more than
their usual ingenuity in providing anything like
presentable substitutes for beef and mutton. There
Was a famine of bread, as an immense order had
been given for the soldiers but the prevailing good
Immikur smoothed every difficulty, and the people
eat, drank, chatted, smoked, and sang until an un-
usually late hour in the evening. So early as five
o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning the shipping
of the guns and other material commenced. The
infantry marched down to the quay, and piled their
firelocks, which were immediately taken on board the tenders. General Baraguay d'Hilliers, sur-
rounded by a numerous staff of officers, superin-
tended the shipment, and all was life bustle,i and
activity. The public were kept at a distance by- a
military cordon, kept in their usual free and easy
Manner by a very scanty number of pleasant little
French soldiers, These compact little bundles of
nerve and muscle could not keep still at their posts
for a single moment, but assumed all sorts of un-
military attitudes—played tricks on each other,
and joked and laughed with the bystanders. Amidst
all these crowds of soldiers constantly filling the
streets and quays, morning, noon, and night, at a
time, too, when military discipline was somewhat
relaxed, and everybody was bidding farewell to
everybody else, one striking and most valuable
fact must be recorded to the honour of the French
army, and that is, that not a single drunken sol-
er was seen in the streets, nor a single infraction
of the peace committed by either suldier or civilian.
The Consul of France at Valparaiso has sent an
account of a terrible gale of wind which took place
there on the night of the 6th May and the follow-
ing day, and caused considerable damage. Three
Chilian vessels went to the bottom, eight went
ashore, nine were much injured, and twenty boats
were dashed to pieces. Six French vessels were in
the roadstead, but not one of them suffered any
injury : these vessels are the Grand Conde, the
Ville de Tonneins, the Callao, the Union, the Cal-
cutta, and the Alcibiade.
It has already been stated that Bou Maza had
received permission from the Emperor Napoleon to
offer his services to the Sultan in the war against
Russia, and that the Emperor had generously
announced his intention to defray the expenses fo
the outfit. The Porte having accepted the offer in
Bou Maza, and appointed him to a command of Circassia, he is to leave Villers-Cotterets, where he
has been residing for some time, for his post on
Monday next.

SPAIN. 27
THE SPANISH INSURRECTION.
The Gazette of the 9th contains the following, 22
under the head of " Ministry of War :"
" According to the last despatches of the Captain- St,
Generals perfect tranquillity prevails in the provinces. St.
The division of operation, at the head of which is the 50
Minister of War, left Tembleque yesterday morning in r
pursuit of the rebels. Their advanced guard had pro- 2(0)
ceeded to Miguelturra and Ciudad Real, where the autho- 10
rities and the inhabitants prepared for a vigorous defence 50
were waiting for them ; but even before ascertaining the 25
disposition of the town, the rebels retired without com-
bat on Aimagro ; and at the date of the last despatches 25
they were wandering in the villages in the neighbour- 25
hood of that town." 18
The Gazette of the 10th gives the following, under 20
the same head : St.
"The expeditionary division, commanded by the St.
Minister of War, left Madridejos yesterday in pursuit of 25
the rebels, who are continuing their retreat by the road St.
of Andalusia, taking with them some carts which are no St.
doubt destined to relieve their infantry on the march. 10
The Royal troops ardently desire to reach the rebels, St.
who make no recruits, and are the terror of the towns l°
through which they pass on account of their violent
.
exactions. According to the last news, the band of St
scoundrels, commanded by Buceta, had quitted the Sr..
rebels, and gone towards the mountains of Cuenca to St.
make a guerilla war. The Captains-General in their St,
despatches give no new facts. The Captain-General of 12
Valencia writes under date of the 6th by the mail 50.
of yesterday, that a band of republicans corn- 16
manded by an obscure man, named Acebedo, had raised 161
the standard of revolt, and after having committed all 19
sorts of excesses and done immense damage to the 14
railway, had possessed himself of the town where so
there was no soldier, fortified himself therein, and 20
proclaimed the- Republic. The Captain-General had 11i
sent against this factious band troops on whose fidelity 10
and bravery he counted for the prompt re-establishment St.
of tranquillity. At six o'clock the Government received St.
the following telegraphic despatch Valencia, Bth ri
July, 1854, 45 minutes past 9 o'clock in the evening : 123
Yesterday our troops attacked Alcira ; they sustained St:
some loss on account of their daring bravery, and the 50
strong position of the place. To-day, however, our 40
soldiers possessed themselves of the town. This event 25
secures the tranquillity of the province, by showing the 25
impuissance of the revolutionists, and the decision of St.
the troops.' Her Majesty is highly satisfied with the 812sc,
bravery and fidelity of the troops of the district of Va-
50St:
lencia, and has directed the Captain-General to thank
them in her name, and to prepare immediately the re- 25
compenses due to them." 100
The Gazette further publishes a report from the
civil Governor of Ciudad Real, which states that
the total force of the insurgents is only 900 horses,
including those of the chiefs and officers, and of
some citizens who have joined them, and from
500 to 600 infantry—one-third of whom consist of
dismounted cavalry soldiers, some recruits, and
the " vagabonds" who joined them at Aranjuez.
The French Ambassador, the Marquis de Turgot,
had arrived in Madrid, from Dax, where he had
been to take the waters—he was completely re
covered from his wound.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 14.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SOMETHING LIKE BUSINESS.—The National Freehold
Land Society, in 1852, purchased Gurnard Farm, near
West Cowes, for 3,4701. ; it contained 143 acres, and
was subject to quit-rents of 201. 18s. 9d. per annum.
They have this day sold 75 acres that were not suitable
for building purposes, to Robert White, Esq., of North-

the above quit-rents, reserving 68 acres, beautifully
situated for villas, commanding views of this island, the
island of Purbeck, Hurst Castle, the New Forest, and
Southampton water, and, indeed, almost the entire ex-
tent of the Solent—at a cost to the society of 9701.,
little more than 141. per acre, for some of the most
beautifully-situated building land in the Isle of Wight !
