ARRIVAL OF THE EX-KING
LOUIS PHILIPPE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The following appeared in our Third Edition o
last night :
BRIGUTON, MA.RCLI 3.—We have great pleasure
in announcing the safe arrival of the ex-King and
Queen of the French, at Newhaven.
We subjcin such particulars as we have been able
hastily to glean on the subject :
The papers of this morning contained a statement
that the Brighton and Continental Steam Navigation
Company's packets had been sent to the French coast
for the purpose of bringing any persons—
either Englishmen or French refugees—
who might be seeking means of reaching our shores.
One of these boats, the Newhaven, Captain Moore,
has been cruising under orders from the English
Admiralty, for several days, along the coast of Havre,
St. Vallery, St. Malo, Dieppe, and Treport, as we
now learn, with the special object of seeking his
Majesty the ex-King. Failing in this object, the
vessel was ycsterday sent from Havre by the English
Consul there, with dispatches from the French to the
English Government.
The ex• King and Queen have for some days been
moving from farm-house to farin-house in the neigh-
bourhood of Treport. They were nearly exhausted
by fatigue, and on his arrival the King stated that a
night or two back he thought he must have given
himself up.
On Thursday Louis Philippe and the ex-Queen,
and a male and female attendant, who had during
the week constituted the suite of their royal master
and mistress, embarked in a French fishing-boat
from near Treport, with the intention of attempting
to cross the channel, in search of the coast which is
open to the reception of distressed foreigners of
A nations. At sea the party was picked
up by the " Express," Southampton and 'lime
steam-boat, which immediately steamed for New-
haven, off which harbour she arrived at seven o'clock
in the morning. Owing, however, to the state of the
tide and weather, the captain did not enter the har-
bour till noon.
Most of our readers are aware that the King has
for many years had in the person of Mr. Packham a
protege and tenant of some extensive mills in the
neighbourhood of Ville d'Eu. Mr. Packham (as
some of the papers have mentioned) was with Louis
Philippe in Paris on the memorable Tuesday appointed
for the Reform Banquet, up to within an hour of the
outbreak of the revolution. Mr. Packham is a Sussex
man, and lives in Brighton, having returned from
the active management of the business at Eu, which
is now carried on by his nephew and other partners.
On landing, the ex-King and Queen were welcomed
by the inhabitants, nearly the whole of whom flocked
out, and were gratified by being shaken by the hand
by Louis Philippe. The King and Queen proceeded
to the Bridge Hotel, where they ordered beds, and intend
to recover in some measure from the alarms and
fatigues of the week.
His Majesty's first act, on reaching the hotel, was
to dispatch a messenger to Brighton to procure
the attendance of Mr. Peckham ; the second to
write a letter to our gracious Sovereign commu-
nicating intelligence of his arrival. This letter was
placed in the hands of Mr. Iron, secretary of the
Brighton and Continental Steam Navigation Com-
pany, who immediately proceeded with it by special
train, joining the two o'clock up-train from Brighton
at the Ilay ward's Heath Junction.
Mr. Iron had also a message to the Lords of the
Admiralty, some of whom are expected to return with
him to Newhaven this evenings
The King, on landing, was habited in a green
blouse, and blue overcoat, borrowed from the captain
of the Express. As a friend of the writer expressed
himself, on his being asked what the party brought
with them, "the King had not so much baggage
as he could carry in his ;pockets—in fact he had
not a change of clothing."
