FRANCE.

ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE
AND LORD RAGLAN.

The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Lord
Raglan, Lord Do Ros, Colonels Steele, Tyrwhitt
and Somerset, and Majors the Hon. James Mac-
donald and Wellesley, attended by a numerous
suite, arrived at Calais yesterday morning at one
o'clock, where they were received by the Hon. H.
Howard, attaché to the British Embassy, and the
Vicomte de Toulongen, and immediately left by a
special train for Paris, where they arrived about
nine o'clock.

His Excellency Lord Cowley and Marshal
Vaillant, the Minister at War, were in waiting to
receive them. A guard of honour of the Gen-
darmerie d'Elite was stationed at the railway ter-
minus, and court carriages were in attendance for
the Prince and his suite.

After a few moments delay the distinguished
travellers were conveyed to the British EmbasAy,
where they partook of slight refreshment, and at
one o'clock three Imperial State carriages were in
waiting to conduct them, under an escort from the
Regiment of Guides, to the Tuileries, where they
were received by the Emperor and the Empress.
They were heartily cheered, during the passage,
by a considerable crowd assembled in the streets,
some of whom cried " Vive les Anglais."
On leaving the Tuileries, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, Lord Raglan, and suite, proceeded to visit
Prince Jerome at the Palais Royal.
The Count de Pepoli, one of the nephews of
Prince Murat, is about to leave Paris, where he
has been for some time. It is whispered that there
is some intention of creating a movement in public
opinion in favour of the pretensions of that family.
The person in question has, it is said, been strongly
advised by the Emperor, and even warned, against
engaging in auy foolish enterprise which would
have the effect of adding to the political complica-
tions of the day.
The Moniteur confirms the statement that a
grand review is to be passed by the Emperor, in
honour of the Duke of Cambridge. This review
is to take place to-day (Wednesday), in the Champ
de Mars. The regiments which are to figure in it
are the infantry and cavalry of the garrison of
Paris, including the Garde de Paris and the gen-
darmerie d'6lite, and the regiments of cavalry sta-
tationed at Versailles, Saint Germain, Compiegne,
Melun, and Fontainebleau, forming a total of 24
battalions and 45 squadrons, together with seven
batteries of artillery and the companies of engi-
neers attached to the army of Paris. The generals
on active service who are not to hold commands in
the review, and who may wish to accompany his
Majesty, are directed to assemble at half-past 12
in the Court of the Tuileries ; they are to be on
horseback and in full uniform.

A farewell dinner was given on Monday evening,
at the " Trois Freres Provencaux," to Mr. Sanford,
late Charge d'Affaires, and for several years Secre-
tary of the Legation of the United States at Paris,
by his countrymen, on the occasion of his return
to the United States. More than one hundred
Americans from all parts of the Union took part in
this festivity, which was presided over by Mr.
Mcßae, the Consul of the United States, supported
as Vice-Presidents by Messrs. Corbin, Munroe,
Dorr, &c., and at which were invited
guests, as
guests, the new American Ministers, Mr. Mason,
and Secretary, and other Members of the Diplo-
matic" Corps and Officers of the Army and Navy
now in Paris. The proceedings were marked by
the greatest harmony and good feeling.
An Imperial decree enacts that, in virtue of the
treaty of commerce and navigation between France
and Portugal, concluded on the 9th March, 1853,
" there shall not be imposed on the agricultural or
manufacturing productions of Portugal, imported
directly into France under the Portuguese flag,
any other or higher duties than those which are or
shall be imposed on the same goods imported under
the French flag ;" and that " the tonnage duties
payable in France by Portuguese vessels coming
directly from Portugal with cargoes, or from auy
''
other port without cargoes, shall be hfr. a ton,
the
decinte included."
