ROYAL PROGRESS IN FRANCE.

The following is a continuation of the proceedings at-
tending the visit of the King of the French at Cher•
bourg. In The Sun of yesterday we gave the proceed.
ings on the 3J inst. The following account is up to the
6th, inclusive, and it will he seen by a paragraph, dated
the ith, that Lord Durham has gone up to Pans, which
is a contradiction of an article in the Times of this
morning, affirming that his Lordship intended to accom-
pany Donna 3lrria to Lisbon.
(From the Herald Correspondent.)

CHERBOURG, SEPT. s.—His Majesty the King of
the French and his sons the Dukes de Nemours and
d'Aumaule, attended by Marshals Soult and Gerard, Ad-
miral de Rigny, and a brilliant suite, honoured Lord
Yarborough with a visit yesterday, on board the
Falcon. The King and Queen embarked in the Sphynx
French Government steamer, amid the firing of cannon
and the cheers of an immense number of persons assembled
on shore. His Majesty first sailed round the men-of.war,
and then proceeded to pay a visit. to Admiral Mackau on
hoard the Atainta frigate, which having inspected, he
pr

conducted him afc. The Honourable Mrs. Copley (Lord
Yarborough's only daughter, married to the brother of
Viscountess Howick), Mrs. H. Thorold, and other
ladies were in attendance to receive the Queen and the
Princesses, but, owing to the heavy swell, her Majesty
and her daughter did not quit the steamer. The
King expressed himself much pleased and grati-
fird at the marked attention abown him by the Cora •

modore and the Members of the Royal Yacbt Squadron,
and spoke in warm terms of attachment to his ‘‘ steady
friends," the English, as he was pleased to term tbem. As
the weather was squally, which afforded apprehensions
that the equinoctial gales bad commenced, the King's stay
on board the Falcon was short. His Majesty took no
refreshment, but on his departure he placed in Lord Yar-
borough's hands a small box, which, when opened, was
found to contain a most exquisitely executed minature of
himself, set in brilliants of the first water, and valued, at
least, at 500/. The King, after viewing the Falcon,
visited and inspected the French squadron, which, as well
as the yachts, were decorated with the colours of the vari-
ous nations. The Admiral's ship had the French flag at
the main, the English at the fore, and the Rear• Admiral's
at the mizen. The King and his suite also viewed the
breakwater, and examined that stupendous work most
minutely. When the Royal Family landed at the port
maritime, the squ !droll, including the Falcon, fired a
Royal salute.

The grand fete given by the town, last evening to their
Majesties, at the Bains Louis Phillipe, was upo❑ a most
extensive scale : nearly 3,000 persons were present.
There was but little intermissio❑ in the dancing till near
six o'clock this morning. The Duke de Nemours opened
the ball with the Lady of Rear. Admiral Mackau, and the
Duke de Joinville danced with Madame Noel Agnes, the
lady of the Mayor.
All the English at present sojourning here, we under-
stand, were permitted to enter, even though they had not
received cards of invimatiun. _

One of the principal decorations was the French and
English flags entrelaces (entwined with each other).
During the night, a variety of feux d'artifre were exhis
kited on the Montagne du Rollie, but their effect was
spoilt by the rain, which descended in torrents.
I infinitely regret that I am compelled to send my corn.
anunication all round by Paris, bnt the weather continues
so boisterous, the equinoctial gales having commenced,
that no yachts will sail for Cowes or Portsmouth. lam
very apprehensive that some of the information contained
in my first letter will be anticipated, in cons quence of
its being so long on the road.
CHERBOURG, SEPT. 5, 1 P.H.—The King, and the
Dukes de Nemours an de Joinville, have just rode
through the principal at; is of the to,wn, preparatory to
their departure. His M .sty, during his progress, saluted
the populace at least fit times, by taking off his cocked
bat trimmed with white fringe. He returns to Paris to
meet the King and Queen of the Belgians, who are shortly
expected on a visit at the Tuileries.
We understand that although the Hon. Mrs. Copley
was debarred by the weather the honour of presenting the
ladies assembled o❑ board the Falcon, when the Queen of
the French visited that ship, that the moment she reached
the Palace, she caused it to be intimated to Mrs. Copley
that she proposed, at that lady's convenience, to receive
the ladies in question. Thesummons was inst mtly obeyed,
and Mrs. Copley, with great dignity and good breeding,
introduced her fair countrywomen to bee Majesty, who
received them most graciously.
The French Admiral's ship, and the other French men
of war in the roads, were most brilliantly illuminated the
night before last. The night being dark, the effect was
very grand.

The Sapphire schooner yacht, Lord Newborough,
arrived this morning, after a short but terribly boisterous
passage from Cowes.
The celebrated General Exceltnans is among the arri-
vals. His son is a midshipman on board the juhon
man of war here. Preparations are now making for the
departure of the King and Queen, who are expected to set
out to•morrowv, on their returu to Paris, making a detour
in their way.
His Majesty yesterday visited en detail the Post Mili-
taire, La Dique, and Forts Queikville and Artois. He
ales inspected the fortifications and the different public
establishments, and in the evening the Ruyal Family ho-
noured the theatre with their presence. The Salle du
Spectacle, on this occasion, was hung with tri coloured
cloth, and the loge appropriated for the King and Queen
was very splendidly fitted up,

Throughout the day it has blown a violent gale from
the north east, accompanied by rain. A pilot boat, with
two men, was lost during the night. The wind is as
adverse as it ca❑ be for England. The Emerald, her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent's yacht, in going out
of the bat bour with the Messrs. Conroy on board, ran
aground ; fortunately, she sustained no injury. She is
fluty i❑ the basin, and cannot sail until the weather
moderates.

CHERBOURG, Sxrr. 6.—" The voyage de Cherbourg"
as the Parisian papers designate the Royal Family's visit
to this port, has now been accomplished, and according to
the assertions of considerable numbers of the.inhabitants,
his Majesty's popularity has been augmented by his sijour
in the department of La Manche. The King and his two
sons were to sleep last evening at Bayeux ; to day they
pass at Caen. The Queen, Princesses, and suite, occupy-
ing five or six travelling carriages, quitted the Palace of
the Prefecture this morning, at nine o'clock, on their way
to join his Majesty, who, during his tour always precedes
his consort and daughter four and twenty hours. The
batteries of the Montagne du Roule, and of the other forts
fired a Royal salute when the Queen departed. Apropos
a " jun trait" as our neighbours term it, is just nowin
circulation of his Majesty's beneficence. A calinonier on,
the day of his Majesty's entree, while in the discharge of
his duty by assisting at the batteries, had the misfortune to
shatter his arm and lose an eye by ;ha bursting of a gun,
which accident rendered him for ever an invalid. The
unfortunate soldier was an inmate in the Hospital
de la ,Maritie when the King and his suite inspecaed
the establishment. His Majesty, on learning the cir-
cumstances of the poor man's case, instructed his
Private Secretary, Baron Fain, to present the sum
of 600 francs, also an annual pension of franc.,
with the promise of an appointment of his own situation
in the arsenal as soon as he should be enabled to under-
take the du'ies of it. Before the King left he addressed a
brief discourse to the Municipal Authorities, in which be
promised to give his anxious consideration to the most
efficient means by which the prosperity of the place could
be promoted. The Queen, on taking farewell this morn.
ing, expressed her regret at leaving, and intimated her
intention of paying many more visits to Cherbourg before
her death. The Earl of Durham, we understand, received
the most flattering attentions from the King and his
Consort (his Lordship had been introduced to her Majesty,
at the Palace of Laeken, two months since, when she was
visiting the Queen of the Belgians.) The Noble Earl
accompanied the King in his carriage to the fete at the
Bains Louis Philippe, on Tuesday; and his Majesty, on
the evening preceding his departure, was pleased to say
that lie regretted exceedingly that he was not able to
accept his Lordship's invitation to a banquet which he
(Lord D.) contemplated giving to him (the King) and
his Lmily, on account of the business of the State de-
manding his presence in the capital. The King, before
his departure, caused silver and copper in-dais to be
struck in commemoration of his visit. They have the
inscriptions " Louis Philippe 1., Rui del Francais.—De
Rigny, Minister of Marine," on one side ; and on the
otraer, " Cherbourg, ISS3." The members of the Royal
Yacht Squalion have each received one of the former.
It continues to blow bard !writ the north west, so that
not a yacht is able to leave. They are, however, all in a
state of security. Mr. Tliorold's Coquette has come into
the inner basin. Lord Belfast's Waterwitch is lying in
the King's basin, about a mile from the town. The
French Admiral has offered his Lordship the use of the
Government steamer to tow her out, if the wind continue,
so contrary. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent's
yacht, the Enteral'', is still detained, owing to the state
of the weather. She came expressly for Sir John Con-
roy's sons, and the master of her, Captan Saunders, did

She was the first vessel that ventured to quit the port for
three or four days.

SEPT. 7, 12 A.m.—The Earl of Durham has just ern-
barked in the Sphyx, French Government steamer, for
Paris, leaving the .Louisa here. The continuance of
strong contrary winds prevented the Noble Earl from
sailing in his yacht.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OW CONTRABAND
GOODS IN THE RIVER.-An extensive seizure of smug-
gled silks was made last week in the river, under very
extraonlinary• circumstances. It appears that on Tuesday
d linngtent a regular Dover trader, Thomas
Allen,
last Mr. Cnivers, Tide-surveyor of Customs, went on
alongside Chester's Quay, Lower
mater, lying board G
Thames-street, which had discharged her cargo on the
previousday, and had actually made out the clearing
note, when two of his werrnen, happening to prick
through the ballast in the sl.ip s hold, ftlt something hard.
On removing the ballast, they discovered 32 bales ul
French silk, and 37 cartoons of silk tibands. On further
search they discovered five pieces of foreign manufactured
silk under the Captain's and mate's. bedplaces in the cabin.
The goods, which have been valued at upwards of 4,0001.,
were sent to the King's warehouse; and the ship, which
Las become forfeited, and with her stores valued at 1,0001.
more, was sent to the " condemned holt" on Fliday.

ARRIVAL of the QUEEN OF PORTU

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
In The Sun of yesterday we gave an account of the
preparations which had been made at Portsmouth, by
order of his Majesty's Government, to receive Queen
Donna Maria on her landing, and we also gave a brief
notice of her having landed at the Dock.yard, and being
received with military honours. The following are addi-
tional particulars of this interesting event :

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 8.

Strict orders had been given, on the part of the Go-
vernment, for a minute observance of all the honours due
to a Sovereign being paid to the fair chief of the House of
Braeanza the moment she presents herself, her title and
rank being formally recognised by Great Britain. An
official command to that effect, but couched as a request,
had been sent down by the Government, and received, as
is understood, by the Mayor and Corporation of the Bo•
rough, the Port Admiral, and the Collector of the Cus-
toms. One thing in this communication is peculiarly
remarkable ; the consort of Don Pedro, who is now
neither Empress nor Queen, gets precedence of his
daughter.
The following letter from the Home-office was received
by the Mayor of Portsmouth on Friday morning, and, in
cons-quence of it, a Meting of the Corporation was he'd
in the afternoon of that day, when the subjoined addressses
to the Empress and the young Queen were agreed to :
" Whitehall, Sept. 5.

" Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Melbourne to ac-
quaint you that their Majesties the Duchess of Braganza
and the Queen of Portugal are expected to arrive at
Portsmouth to-morrow or Saturday, and that the King
has beer. pleased to command that the Empress and Queen
should be received on their arrival in this country with all
the honours usually paid to crowned heads ; and I am to
request that every respect and attention may be paid to
their Majesties on their landing at Portsmouth. I have
the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
" G. LAMB.
" The Mayor of Portsmouth."

Donna Maria will proceed to Portugal in the Soho, the
same bark that brings her to this country, but not before
that vessel is fitted up in a style of suitable splendour ;
and it will be accompanied by the British steam-frigate
Dee, which will al.o be decorated with appropriate em-
bellishments. Sir Joseph Whatley, one of the Grooms of
the Bedchamber in the personal suite of William IV., is
now in attendance to wait upon her Most Faithful Majesty
the moment she enters the harbour.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY, SEPT. 8, 5 O'CLOCK, P. M

I have this moment been assured, on undoubted autho-
rity, that Sir Joseph Whatley has been the bearer of an
autograph letter from their Majesties, inviting the Queen
of Portugal and the Duchess of Braganca on a visit to
Windsor, and they kill set out for the Castle at an early
hour on Tuesday morning next. To. morrow they will
each receive addresses from the Mayor and Corporation of
this town. In the meantime the kindness of a private
friend has enabled me to obtain the subjoined copies of
those documents before the ceremony of presentation has
taken place :

" To her Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria (la Gloria,

Queen of Portugal.

" Miy it please your Majesty—We, the Mayor, Alder •
men, and Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth, as
faithrul subjects of his Most Gracious Majesty William
the Fourth, King of Great Britain and Ireland, partici-
!) iting in the interest manifested by our Sovereign on
behalt of your Majesty and of Portugal, in acknowledging
your Majesty's title to the Crown of that kingdom, and in
taking the earliest opportunity of entering into the accus-
tomed relations of peace and amity with your Majesty,
beg leave most respectfully to approach your Majesty, to
offer our most sincere congratulations on your arrival at
Portsmouth, and most especially on the occasion of it, and
the glorious events which have recently occurre I. We
most cordially felicitate your Majesty on the successful
issue of the liberal principles and patriotic exertions which
have at length placed your Majesty on the throne of Por-
tugal ; and we rejoice at the sign it triumph they have ob-
tained, and at the valour and heroism displayed in so noble
and just a cause.
.4 We beg leave to offer our earnest wishes for the wel-
fare of your Majesty and your Majesty's Government, and
we trust that, by a firm adherence to just principles, and
the remembrance of Constitutional freedom, the prosperity
of your Majesty's kingdom will be established, and the
bonds of alliance between this country and Portugal more
strongly cemented than ever.
" Given under our Common Seal, the 6th day of
Sept. 1833."
" To her Imperial Highness the Duchess of Bragazna.
" May it please your Majesty—We, the Mayor, Alder-
men, and Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth, desirous
of testifying the respect we entertain for your Majesty, on
the interesting occasion which has brought your Majesty
to England, beg leave respectfully to offer our cordial con-
gratulatioris on your arrival at Portsmouth, and on the
events which have led to it.

" We sincerely hope that by the establishment of your
illustrious daughter on the throne of Portugal, the welfare
and prosperity of that kingdom will be eminently promoted,
and that your Majesty may long live to enjoy the high
satisfaction which trust result from its being governed by
a Princess seeking, by the means of free institutions, the
interests and happiness of her subjects.
_ _ _

" Given under our Common Seal, the 6th city of Sep-
tember, 1833."

The haste with which I was obliged to dispatch my
letter this morning prevented me from giving some details
respecting the landing which ought not be omitted. The
concourse of spectators assembled on the occasion was very
considerable, and the cheering most enthusiatic, while the
band of the 9 Ith Regiment played the Constitutional hymn.
The young Queen looked both fair and florid, presenting at
the same time an appeasance of extraordinary precocity for
hr r age. Shs wore a bonnet of dark pink satin, and her
silk dress of a brownish colour was in a great measure
concealed by an ample shawl. ll,r Majesty on being
conducted from the barge took the arm of Sir T. Wil.
liams, to whom she bowed with great dignity, but did
not enter into conversation with him. On setting her
foot for the second time upon British ground she seemed
to be overpowered by the warmth of the reception she
tact with, and placed her hand upon her heart, while an
involuntary sigh escaped her. She soon, however, recta-
covered her self-possession, and proceeded with a light
step and animated countenance along the piece of scarlet
cloth which was laid down for her to walk upon, and at
the extremity of which the Admiral's carriage was in
waiting to take her to his house. The Ex•Ernpress of
Brazil, though not an object of so much political interest,
was still regarded with earnest attention by all parties
who had I.und access to the spot. Both Princesses, after
receiving the congratulations of the leading public func-
tionaries and other distinguished personages, retired to
attend divine service, which was performed by one of the
domestic chaplains. On their return an intimation was
given that a select number of covers should be laid for the
Royal table.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, SEPT. 9.—The bells of the
different churches of tins town, which only tolled yester-
day to announce the hour of divine service, have been
ringing merry peals all this morning, in honour of the
royal visitors. Among the distinguished British guests
who dinel will the young Queen yesterday, at the table
of Sir Thomas Williams, were Sir James Graham and
his Lady, Sir Frederick Maitland, Sir Thomas Hardy,
and,all the other principal officers of the Admiralty Board
at present sojourning here. Sir Thomas Williams, in a
short speech, reniarable for point and pertinent allusion,
proposed the health of the fair Sovereign of Portugal;
and after Count Funchal had returned thanks on her part,
her Majesty proposed the health of her faithful and august
ally, the King of England. The next toast given was by
the Duchess of Braganza, who, with fervent feeling,
proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen of England.
It is admitted by all who were present, that the evening
passed off in the most delightful manner.
The Corporate Body, with the Mayor at their head,
are preparing to go up tit one o'clock with the addresses.
I have seen drafts of the answers, and they merely echo
the sentiments expressed in the former documents. The
answer to the address to the Queen expresses her Majesty's
determination to maintain liberal institutions, and govern
in a spirit of Constitutional freedom. At the same time
her Majesty ascribes the success of her cause to the great
exertions made by her august father. Both answers con-
clude by alluding to the happy coincidence of this day being
she anniversary of the Coronation of a Sovereign who is
the oldest and most faithful Ally of Portugal.
The Duchess of Kent is expected to come over from
tyioreu t(gay'Qloueretni' specialeaiidh er purpose of

ready for the departure of the Royal party for Windsor at
an early hour to-morrow, and suitable ra •• al ngements fur
their reception have been made at the Castle.

LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK BANK.-At a
meeting of the Proprietors of this Bank on Wednesday
last, the clear profits of the past year were shown to be
20,0001. The business of the Bank appeared to have
been increasing, and the accounts gave general satisfaction.
The Directors had, out of the above stun, made two half-
yearly dividends, at the rate of 6 pet• cent. per annum,
besides adding considerably to the reserved surplus fund.
