PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial,
left Bordeaux this morning at nine o'clock, and
will arrive in Paris at 7.50 this evening. To-
morrow their will be a Cabinet Council of all the
Ministers.

The entry of the Emperor and the Empress into
Bordeaux on Tuesday took place in the presence of
a vast concourse of spectators and with the advan-
tage of beautiful weather. The morning had been
tlireatening, but as the day wore on the clouds
gradually disappeared, leaving a most splendid
afternoon. The preparations for the reception of
their Majesties were on the grandest scale. For
several hours before that appointed for the arrival,
the streets were thronged with country people who
bad flocked in from the neighbouring communes.
Every vessel in the port was dressed out in flags,
and every house was ornamented with hangings,
garlands, and evergreens. The Mayor of Bordeaux,
in anticipation of the Imperial visit, had issued the
following address :

" Inhabitants of Bordeaux I—The Emperor, the
Empress, and the Prince Imperial will enter our city at
o'clock this evening, to remain in it until Thursday
next, It is the founder of the new empire who comes
to revisit the city which was the starting point of his
great work. Your sympathetic acclamations will prove
to the Imperial family that you still retain all your sen-
timents of gratitude and of devotedness."
The troops of the garrison, which had been in-
creased by detachments of the grenadiers of the
Imperial Guard, the Cent Gardes, and the Guides,
which had come expressly from Paris, were drawn
up on either side the streets leading from the rail-
way station to the Hotel de Ville, and a guard of
honour of the 3d Hussars were on duty at the ter-
' minus. At about half-past four. the approach of
the Imperial train was signalled, and a battery of
artillery stationed near the bridge fired a salute of
101 guns. Their Majesties on alighting were re-
ceived by all the civil and military authorities of
the city, and immediately entered a court carriage
(sent down expressly from Paris for the occasion),
and the cortege started for the Hotel de Vile. At
night the whole of the city was splendidly
illumi-
nated. On Wednesday morning, the Emperor
and the Empress were present at a grand mass.
The Cardinal-Archbishop received their Majesties
at the cathedral under a canopy. The authorities
and the constituted bodies were afterwards receiv-
ed by the Emperor at the Hotel de Ville. A grand
review afterwards took place, and presented a very
imposing 'spectacle, at which the cries of Vive
l'Empereur I live l'lmperatrice 1' were most en-
thusiastic. Her Majesty was present in an open
carriage. The weather was most propitious. No-
thing could exceed the enthusiasm evinced by the
population and the troops.
Marshal Serrano, the ex-lover of Queen Isabella,
and now her representative in Paris, called upon
Queen Christina 'this afternoon, and conveyed to
her the gratifying information that the sequestra-
tion on her property had been taken off, and that
all her plunder would be restored to her.
Considerable rivalry exists between the principal
ports of France to obtain the Transatlantic packet
station.

The Emperor has expressed his desire that no
military commands shall be given to the old Gene-
ral officers in the Senate, and that young officers
shall in future be selected for active service.
