PARIS, MAY 15.
Eta Majesty arrrived this morning from St. Cloud, before
eleven o'clock, and gave audience to Cardinal de Clermont
-lonnere, after which he attended mass in the chapel of the

Palace.
Daring masa, Baron de Lalive went with a carriage, belong-
trg to her 'Royal Highness the Dauphines.% to fetch from the
(seta the Duchess of Northumberland, Ambassadress Extra-
erstinary.Of England. On their arrival at the Palace, the
Duchess rested herself in the Salon of the Ambassadors, wait-
tag for her reception, which took place after mass,. in the fel.
lowing manner :—The Ambassadress was conducted in the
same cStriage to the Pavilion of Flora, to the bottom of the
rand staircase, and entered the apartments of the Dsuphiness,
wheraliatly Granville, Lady of the British Ambassador, was
waiting her-arrival.
The auphiness, who, on this occasion, represented the
.D
Queen, having arrived, sat down in an armed chair, surrounded
by a brilliant circle of the Ladies of the Court, most distin-
guishsd. for their rank and birth. Her Royal Highness com-
manded the Duchess de Damas, her first Lady of Honour, to
introduce the Ambassadress. She was then conducted into the
grand audience chamber of the Princess, to whom she was pre-
sented, with all the ceremony usual at Court.
Her Royal Highness rose, and having embraced the Ambas-
saebess, invited her to sit down in the circle, and immediately
after, the, King, accompanied by the Dauphin, arrived. His
Majesty spoke in the most flattering manner to the Ambassa-
dress, and soon after his Majesty and his august son retired.
The Ambassadress, having taken leave of her Royal Highness, •
paid bar visit to Madame the Duchess of Berry. She was in-
troduced by the Countess de Noailles, in the absence of the
Dustless of Reggio, her Lady of Honour, and presented to her
Royal Highness, who received her standing, and afterwards in-
shid her to sit down on a folding chair (un pleant), opposite
the arm chair; all the Ladies surrounding her Royal High-
ness remained standing. The Ambassadress, having retired,
paid a visit to the Duchess de Darnas, Lady of Honour to the
llPlauphiness,• and immediately after was re-conducted to her
hotel with the same ceremony as on her arrival.
The Duchess of Northumberland had two carriages following
her. The costume of the Ambassadress was rich and brilliant
in the extreme; she was covered with diamonds ; the mantua,
in particular; was of extraordinary richness, and so covered
with. embroidery that two bearers could hardly carry it.
On occasiorrof the reception of her Grace, there was a grand
dinner .in the apartments of the Dauphin, at which the Count.
de Dose Bussac presided, at which both the Duchess of
Northumberland and Lady Granville were present.
Athalf-past one there was a Council of Ministers, at which
his Majesty presided. It sat till a quarter past four.
His.lilajeaty will return to Paris on Thursday, and there re-
main till his departure from Rheims.
It is declared that the return of the King to the capital shall
take place on the 6th June, and not on the 4th, as was at first
said.
The King intends to give the army a striking proof of his
satisfaction ; he grants it on his Coronation 800 crosses of the
Legion of Honour, of which 60 are for officers.
(The official part of the Moniteur contains only a short no-
tice of the presentation of the Duke of Northumberland.)

CADIZ, APRIL 29.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

The Zea, a corvette of the Spanish Royal Navy, commanded
by I'd. Hall, arrived the day before yesterday from Quilca, in
Peru, after a voyage of 118 days. Captain Hall has landed
alone, and the corvette has had no coinmunication with the
pert. It has orders to fire upon any boats which may approach
within a certain distance, and the owner of the boat is to pay a
tine of 100 francs. Two hours after his landing, Captain Hall
set out for Madrid, with dispatches for the
Yesterday, arrived the St. Lawrence, merchantman, in 47
days from Porto Rico ; no communication is allowed with the
port, and the Captain has been fined 130 piastres, for having
communicated with a.fishing boat. Notwithstanding all these
precautions, we have, however, heard at Cadiz, that there were
en board the Zea several officers of the armies of Canterac and
La Serna ; that the Pezula sailed from Quilca for Spain four
days before the Zea, likewlse with some officers of the Viceroy's
army ; and lastly, that the Saint Francis d'Assise, ship of the
line, and the Achilles, brig, had sailed from Lima for Manilla,
to endeavour to check the spirit of opposition to the Govern-
ment of the Peninsula, which shoved itself in the island.

MADRID MAY 5.
An express from Cadiz, that arrived on the 3d, has given
rise to a report that a vessel from the coast of Peru had arrived
in that port, with a great many officers of La Serna's army,
sod a dozen monks who seek refuge in Spain.
While vessels arrive in all the portsmf Europe with the me-
lancholy recital of our irreparable disasters in Peru, and others
being to Cadiz the remnants of our armies. it is curious to see
our Government loudly proclaim an expedition of two regi-
ments fitting out at Corunna, to go, it is said, to re-conquer
Peru, where the armies of Canterac and La Serna have tailed.
But we must not be deceived respecting the object of this ex-
pedition; for it-is not to Peru, on which our Ministers think
no longer, but to the Havannah that they mean to send it, to
prevent, if possible, the emancipation of that rich colony.—
iome young Frenchmen have lately arrived, to enlist in the
squadron of foreign Gerdes du Corps.
General Santos Ladron has lately sent a a column of Spanish
troops in pursuit of a band of malefactors who traverse the
valley of Roncal. and have even advanced to Bena. The
greatest excesses they commit are against the monks.
