" The Commission for the Danubian Principalities
was charged to inquire into the views and wants of
the Moldo-Wallachians, and to collect on the spot
necessary elements to prepare the organisation of the
Danubian Principalities. The convention signed
the day before yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs has for object to satisfy that important stipu-
lation of the treaty of March 30. Whilst the stipula-
tions are preparing for publication, it is known the
Plenipotentiaries have succeeded in reconciling the
varied interests of the Powers signing the treaty
with the voice of the people.;
" The European Commission for regulating the
navigation of the mouths of the Danube has not yet
completed its work, and the act elaborated by the
Riverain Commissioners [the propositions of Austria,
Turkey, Wurtemburg, &c.] have not been sanc-
tioned by the Powers who put their signature to the
Treaty of Paris. But the work of the two Com-
missions which specially concern the navigation of
tl.e Danube is clearly defined by the treaty, and
its accomplishment can only be delayed by difficul-
ties purely technical. The Treaty of Paris may,
therefore, be considered as completed."
The Emperor and Empress arrived at St. Cloud
on Saturday evening at about a quarter before
eight o'clock. During the last day of their journey
their Majesties met with the same enthusiastic re-
ception as had greeted them in passing through Nor-
mandy and Brittany. Notwithstanding the rain,
which fell at intervals, the inhabitants stationed
themselves along the railway, and at every point
from which they were able to hail the passage
of the train with their acclamations, a number of
the peasants held in their hands statuettes or busts of
the Emperor Napoleon I. The ball given at Rennes
on the evening previous to their Majesties' depar-
ture was a very brilliant affair. All the rooms of
the Hotel de Ville were very magnificently decorated
for the occasion. The Emperor and Empress arrived
at half-past nine, and on entering the salons were
received by three rounds of acclamations. The
Empress wore a robe of white lace ornamented with
small roses and some other light flowers. The dia-
dem and other ornaments were in brilliants and
rubies. The quadrille d'honnenr was danced in the
Salle des Cariatydes, the Emperor dancing with the
daughter of the Mayor of Rennes and her Majesty
with the Mayor. The crowd was so great that it was
a great difficulty to form the Imperial quadrille,
and when, at its conclusion, the Empress re quested
that the dances might continue, it was absolutely
impossible to execute the slightest figure. Their
Majesties afterwards walked through the different
salons, but notwithstanding all the respect felt for
the two sovereigns, only a very narrow passage was
left for them. Their Majesties returned soon after
eleven. At about ten o'clock on the following morn-
ing their Majesties, after several audiences given by
the Emperor, left the Prefecture and proceeded to
the railway station, amidst the acclamations of the
people, who were assembled in great numbers in spite
of the heavy rain. The waiting-room was handsomely
flitted up for their reception, and the civil and mili-
tary authorities had assembled to take leave of their
Majesties. The Imperial train started at about half-
past ten, and on reaching Vitre stopped for a short
time to receive the authorities. The attention of
their Majesties was directed to the residence of Mme.
de Savigne, which still exists at that place. On
reaching Lemart their Majesties witnessed the effect
of the late storm which had visited that place. All
the large skylights had been demolished by the hail,
and nothing but the framework remained. The
Emperor and Empress alighted to receive the au-
thorities, and passed along the quay, which was still
wet from the flood. Their Majesties expressed their
commiseration at the damage caused, and left marks
of their munificence with the Mayor for the relief of
the poor sufferers. The Imperial train, after only a
few trifling stoppages, arrived at Chartres at half-past
five. Their Majesties were received by Marshal
Magnan, the Commander-in-Chief of the District,
and the authorities of the city, who delivered con-
gratulatory addresses, which were graciously replied
to. The train again started, and, after a short stop-
page at Ramboullet and St. Cyr, reached St. Cloud.
