THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF
• FRANCE.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours
did not leave the French Embassy, where his Royal
Highness is at present sojourning.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Rent repaired to
Hertford House, at ten o'clock, and there visited her
illustrious relatives their Royal Highnesses the Prince
Augustus and Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The
Royal Duchess remaiaed about half an hour with the
Prince and Princess.

The children of the Prince and Princess, namely, the
Princes Philippe, Augustus, and the Princess Mary, and
Prince Louis (Count d'Eu), eldest son of the Duke de
Nemours, in the forenoon, after taking an airing in
Lord Foley's carriage, were taken to Buckingham
Palace, one of the Queen's carriages having been sent
from the Royal Mews for that purpose, where they still
remain.

AZ a quarter t. r 0... o'clock, the %chess tie Mont-
peuster at the Embassy from the London-bridge
terminus of the South-Eastern Railway. Her Royal
Highness parted from the King and Queen very shortly
after they left Paris, and under escort of a confidential
friend of the Duke de Montoensier made the best of her
way to Boulogne. At Ablieville the Duchess had a very
narrow escape, having been recognised and attacked by
a mob. Her Royal Highness only escaped by taking
refuge in the house of a gentleman, from the rear of
which she afterwards escaped and ultimately reached
Boulogne, from which port she crossed yesterday.
His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Naples, Count
de Syracuse, brother of the King of Naples, and, there-
fore, nephew of the ex-Queen of the French, waited on
the Duke de Nemours, and had an audience of some
duration. It will be recollected that, according to the
correspondence from Paris, in the journals, the Prince
was detained against his will from repairing to Naples in
the outbreak of the political disturbances in Sicily. His
Royal Highness, with much difficulty, escaped from
Paris, and reached our hospitable shores on Sunday
Hight, and forthwith came to the metropolis yesterday
morning.
We have only further to say, that their Royal High-
nesses the Prince and Princess Augusta of Saxe Coburg
removed from the French Embassy soon after seven
o'clock last evening to Buckingham Palace, to there re-
main while in this country. In case it should be sup-
posed by many of our readers, that it is likely to hurt
our friendly relations with the Provisional Government
of France, we only mention the fact, that the Prince is a
cousin of the Prince Consort. _

The Duke of Wellington called personally at half-
past one o'clock to visit the Royal Duke, and the other
visits of condolence included the Duke and Duchess of
Norfolk and the Ladies Howard, his Excellency the
Bavarian Minister, and Baroness de Cetto, his Excel-
lency Viscount Moncorvo, his Excellency Chevalier
Bunsen, Chevalier Ribero, M. Tacnn, the Spanish
Chargé d'Affaires, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Lansdowne, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury,
the Earl and Ladies Fitzwilliam, Viscountess Palmer-
ston, the Earl of Mansfield, the Earl and Countess
Granville, the Dowager Countess Verulaw, the Countess
(Dowager) Mansfield and Ladies Murray, the Earl
Spencer, the Earl and Countess Delawarr, Colonel
and Lady Alice Peel, Viscount and Viscountess Jo-
celyn, the Earl Fortescue, Viscount and Vicountess
Ebrington, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Sir
Stratford and Lady Canning, Viscount Canterbury,
Mr. H. Baring, M.P.; Mr. and Lady Georgiana Fuller-
ton, Lady Brougham, Hon. Colonel Dawson Darner,
Lady Anne Mackenzie, the Earl and Countess of Shel-
burne, Sir Harry and Lady Verney, Vicount and Vi-
countess Dillon, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and
Lady Clementine Villiers, Sir James and Lady Graham,
and Miss Graham, Viscount and Vicountess Falkland,
Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Woodford, Lieu

tenaut-Colonel Edward Begot, the Countess of Gains-
borough, and Lady Catherine Noel, Mr. O'Gorman
Mahon. Scc.'
The Duke de Montebello called, and had a protracted
audience of the Duke de Nemours yesterday.
At the hour our informant left the French Embassy
no tidings had been received of the Duke de Montpen-
sier, or Louis Phillipe and his estimable Consort. The
refuge of the Duchess de Nemours is also unknown.
It is now satisfactorily ascertained that M. Duchatel
is in safety. The general opinion of all persons from
Paris is, that M. Guizot is seereted in the capital (that
is to say up to Thursday last), but an impression is en-
tertained thnt he escaped that night and fled to the
south. This latter is acknowledged to be only conjecture.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 26.—Mr. Van Praidli, the Mi-

FEB. 27.—The deepest anxiety prevails here as to
the fate of the ex-King of the French, for nothing
whatever has been heard respecting his movements.

Our Queen shows the most admirable presence of
mind under the terrible disasters which have befallen
her family. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, his
Majesty again held a Privy Council. The Chamber
of Representatives was crowded with anxious au-
ditors, who expected that from the general
intense anxiety which prevailed, that the Mi-
nisters and the Members of the Chambers would
give vent to expressions of the general feeling on this
momentous subject; there was, however, neither dis-
cussion nor explanation, and this might have been
expected.
FEB. 26.—The theatrical representation which was
to have taken place this evening for the benefit of the
poor of Flanders has been postponed, the manager
being of opinion that during the extreme agitation
which prevails the theatre will be deserted.
After to-day the police will demand to see the
passports of all persons arriving at or leaving Flan-

these events, appears perfectly calm and collected.
He is continually occupied with Ministers in concoct-
, iDg unman which Pay be called by the extra-
