First in the order of those who arrived at the
Palace were the Artillery and Engineer officers and

Next came the officers of the various rifle corps
according to priority of formation, as far as it was
Possible to carry that arrangement out. On ac-
count of the shortness of the time which elapses
between the arrivals and the time of our going to
press, we are not enabled to give more than a few
of the earliest arrivals, with the names of the
officers who attended.

First amongst those who arrived were the officers
