PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Lyons journals contain long details of the
triumphal entry of the division of General de Failly
into that city on their return from the Crimea.
They were met at some little distance from the
city by M. Vaisse, senator and administrator of the
department, accompanied by the mayors and other
public functionaries ; the members of the Council-
General ; the Chamber of Commerce ; and the
other constituted bodies. Marshal de Castellane
with his staff and a numerous escort were also pre-
sent. All these high personages had assembled
under a large tent erected for the occasion. When
the head of the division appeared, General de
Failly halted in front of the tent, and in a few ap-
propriate words expressed his thanks for the recep-
tion given to his men by, the city of Lyons. M.
Vaisse replied in suitable terms, assuring the
general and his brave division of the warm feel-
ings of the inhabitants towards them. The Marshal
then took up his position in front of the tent, and
the division marched past amidst shouts of " Vive
l'Empereur !" " Vivo l'Armee !" Many of the
officers and soldiers marched with difficulty from
fatigue and the wounds which they had received.
The general carried a large crown of flowers and
laurels, all the officers had bouquets in their hands,
which had been presented to them, and most of the
soldiers carried flowers stuck in the muzzle of
their guns. A public subscription has been opened
at Lyons for the purpose of giving a grand banquet
to the officers of the division, and also fur giving
an entertainment to the men.

A correspondent Writes from Carlsruhe,
It is with great pleasure that I inform you that
his Royal Highness the Regent of Baden is about to
proceed, in a day or two, to England to pay a visit
to Queen Victoria. In compliance Nyith the pressing
invitations of her Majesty, his Royal Highness in-
tends making a stay of some length at the court of
England, where he will meet Prince Frederic Wil-
liam of Prussia, and t*e part in the family rejoic-
ings and festivities on the occasion of an approach-
ing liappy event. His Royal Highness, who is per-
fectly conversant with the English language and litera-
ture, will make a long tour through our beautiful island
and the sister kingdom, and without doubt he will be
everywhere received, not only as a sovereign, but as one
of those rare and accomplished individuals who combine
the character of the ruler and the accomplished gentleman
—as one to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude for
the uniform courtesy and protection which he affords to
all our countrymen who visit his dominions, and more
especially his beautiful city of Baden-Baden, where by
his liberality every facility is given to the regular per-
formance of the English church service, which he fre-
quently attends in person. Similar advantages are con-
templated here, as soon as there shall be a sufficient
number of English residents. In mind and person he is
a striking resemblance of his celebrated ancestor Charles
Frederic, in his time known as the Nestor of the Ger-
man princes, but still more so, by his admiration for the
laws and institutions of England, in consequence of
which he was the first German prince who abolished
'servitude, and laid the foundation for constitutional go-
vernment. His Royal Highness intends during his
tour to visit the seats of learning, the principal manu-
facturing towns, and to gain an insight into the immense
progress of the arts and sciences as exhibited in our
commercial, civil, and military establishments."
