opened by a squadron of cavalry of the National
Guard, a squadron of Dragoons, another of Cuiras-
siers, and a company of artillery of the army. 11l
the members of the Provisional Government, the
members of the municipalities, the families of the
victims, deputations of every corporation of workmen,
and a company of every battalion of the National
Guard, were to form the cortege.
The entente cordiale between France and England
—we mean the real and true entente cordiale which
should always subsist between neighbouring free
nations—not the miserable family compact which the
late French Government called by the name, and to
the maintenance of which the honour and dignity of
both nations were frequently sacrified—the entente
cordiale between France and England has been com-
pletely re. established. The National, one of the
organs of the Republic, says,—

"' Lord Normanby 'officieusemene communicated this
morning to M. de Lamartine, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the dispatches he had received from Lord Pal-
merston, relative to the disposition of the British
Government towards the new Provisional Government
of France. Lord Palmerston announced to Lord Nor-
manby that England did not hesitate an instant to
acknowledge the right of the French nation to change
the form of its government. He then added, that if
diplomatic usage does not authorise the English Go.
vernment to accredit definitive diplomatic agents to the
Provisional Government, the moment the Provisional
Government shall have been converted into a definitive
Government by the National Assembly, the English
Government will accredit its Ambassador to the French
Republic. In the mean time Lord Palmerston authorises
Lord Normanby to maintain with the Provisional
Government of the Republic not only the usual inter-
course, but all the relations of good understanding and
amity which ought to animate the two Governments."
The Marquis of NORMANDY has secured to himself
the confidence and respect of the whole of the people
of France by the courage and prudence which he
displayed during the whole course of the revolution.
" I shall be the last Englishman to quit Paris," said
the Noble Marquis to his countrymen who were
crowding to the embassy for passports and advice;
" I pledge myself that I will not stir from Paris, and
I am sure that the event will prove that your alarm,
however natural, will have proved superfluous."
It was reported in Paris that Baden was in full in-
surrection, and that the tri-coloured flag had been
hoisted at Mayence and Darmstadt.

ARRIVAL OF THE EX-KING OF
THE FRENCH AT CROYDON.-(THISADAY.)

IMPORTANT DECLARATION OF LOUIS
PIIILIPPE.

At a quarter after twelve o'clock this forenoon
Louis Philippe and his Queen arrived at the Croydon
station of the Brighton Railway, by a special train
from Newhaven.

The illustrious exiles were accompanied by a party
of the Brighton Railway Company directors, and
were received with considerable approbation by
crowds of respectable persons at the various stations
along the line.
Her Majesty's Lord in Waiting, with a number of
distinguished foreigners, received Louis Philippe
and the Queen, on alighting from the train at Croy-
don, who immediately took their departure in the
royal carriage for Claremont.
Last evening, at the Bridgehouse Hotel at New-
haven, the ex-King granted an audience to several
inhabitants from Brighton. They were received
most cordially.
Louis. Philippe, clasping his hands as if overpowered
by his emotions, began immediately to speak on the
subject of the revolution :
" Charles X. (exclaimed the ex-King, was destroyed
for breaking the Charter, and I have been overthrown
for defending it, and for keeping my oath. I wish this
ip be distinctly understood, an 1 1 hope it will be made
known."
