EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.
The arxiety which has been so generally felt as to the
fate of the ex-Royal Family of France is fortunately at
an end in so far as regards the the Duchess de Nemours
with her youthful family and the Duke de Montpensior,
their Royal Highnesses having arrived at Southampton
at an early hour yesterday morning from Havre.
A speciel messenger was despatched to London immee
diately upon the arrival of their Royal llighnesses,
conveying intelligence of the fact to the French Em-
bassy, where he arrived shortly after midday. The
Duke de Nemours, with his illustrious sister-in-law, the
Duchess de Mon tpensier, having left Hertford House
for the Belgian Legation, the Count t'e Jarnac at ones
proceeded thither, and communicated to them the
gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival of their relit.
Lives. The Duke do Nemours was very desirous to go
down to Southampton directly to meet the Duchess ;
but as this would have involved the necessity of leaving
the Duchess do Montpensier, his Royal Highness
waived this determination, and two gentlemen, attaches
to the French and Belgian Legations, were despatched
to Southampton to conduct their Royal Highnesses to
town.
Thelr Royal Highnesses remained at the Belgian
Legati m until nearly five o'clock last evening, at which,
hour they left town for East Sheen, where they will
occupy the villa belonging to Mr. Bates (father-in-law
of his Excellency M. Van de Weyer) for the present.
M. Van de Weyer accompanied their Royal High-
nesses to East Sheen, and subsequently returned to
town.
His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador called at
the Legation during the morning, and was closeted for
some time with M. Van de Weyer.
As the gentlemen commissioned to attend the Duke de
Montpensier and the Duchess de Nemours to town did.
not leave London until five o'clock last evening, it was
not expected their Royal Highnesses would arrive in.

reception at the reside/Ice of the Belgian Legation in.
the event of their doing so.
With respect to the fate of Louis Philippe and his
Queen, not a word of authentic information has yet
been received. Great hope is, however, entertained,
from the length of time which has elapsed since the ex-
King was heard of, that he is with the Queen quietly
awaiting on the French coast a favourable opportunity
of crossing the Channel.
Madame Guizot, the venerable mother of the ex.
Minister, and his two daughters arrived in London
yesterday.
It is said, on good authority, that Claremont, the seat
of his Majesty he King of the Belgians, has been pre-
pared for the leption of the ex-Royal Family.
Under this head yesterday it was stated that M. Van
do Weyer had placed his suburban villa at East Sheen
at the disposal of the Duke de Nemours. The villa
belongs to Mr. Bates, whose daughter M. Van de Weyer
married, and it was Mr. Bates who offered his villa to
the illustrious exile.
