Bas Bretonnes have got enormous feet, and dance the
reverse of elegantly. Still it was evident these good
people were delighted at seeing their Sovereign, and
once the dance terminated they almost deafened him
with their loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur." As for

;he Empress, she was convulsed with laughter during
:he performance, a-.ld at its close she spoke to the actors
herein, in her usual kind manner, completely

warming their hearts. Not one of them that would
not go through fire and water for her sake. "As
obstinate as a Breton" is an old proverb in France.
After this national dance, the Imperial visitors,

having made the tour of the ball-room, retired amid
the loudest and most enthusiastic cheers I have yet

heard, which continued long after the objects of all
the tumult had got out of hearing-. I noticed at this

ball a number of Russian naval officers in full uni-

form, belonging to a Russian frigate now in the
Rade. The city was brilliantly illuminated, and the

dancing at the llalle au Bl6s was continued until

daylight.
This morning at eight o'clock the Emperor passed
the troops in review, and having returned and break-
fasted, his Majesty and the Empress and her sister
visited the vessels of war at anchor in the Rade.
Just as their Majesties were about to embark on the
barge that conducted them from vessel to vessel, oc-
curred one of those incidents which so frequently re-
sult from the gratitude of the people. A poor
woman, with her child in her arms, rushed through
the crowd, and in spite of the officers present threw
herself on her knees at the Emperor's feet, holding

up her little one towards him. It seems that this
morning their Majesties,having heard of her as a de-
serving person, and the widow of a soldier killed in
the Crimea, had given her a pension. Upon this
being made known to the poor creature, she acted as

I have above described. This little event had a great
effect upon the crowd, and the shouting grew fear-
ful. During the visit of their Majesties, the vessels
presented the most beautiful appearance ; all was
trim and neat, and the men lined the yard-arms, look-
ing well in their tasty and clean uniforms. The visit
over, the party returned to the Prefecture, where the
Emperor receives and dines the authorities of the
city. It is to be the occasion for the farewell
ceremonies. To-morrow at 8 o'clock their Majesties
leave for Quimper. They are to be escorted there
by a thousand horsemen, country people in their
queer dresses, and no doubt it will be a fine and
picturesque procession. During the whole of the
fete so far, the weather has been most beautiful, and
the superstitious denizens of this province think
that Providence smiles upon the first Sovereign that
has visited this portion of the country. I paid a
visit to the Bagne here, and saw some 700 or 800
poor wretches in the prison. The visit was a sad one,
and needs no relation or comment.
L'ORIENT, AUG. 13.
Having been so fortunate as to secure a seat in
one of the post-chaises sent in advance to this place,
I had an opportunity during my midnight ride of
judgingwhat kind of reception was being prepared for
the Imperial visitors. As I telegraphed to you yester-
day, they left Brest, accompanied by a cavalcade of
1,000 Bretons, in their queer dresses, and having
their sturdy ponies all bedecked with ribbons and
flowers. The sight was a strange and picturesque one,
and the loud shouts and evident enthusiasm must
have been highly pleasing to the persons causing
either.

Upon their arrival at Quimper an immense crowd
greeted them, and during the evening fireworks and
a general illumination added to the brilliancy of
the scene. At Quimper I passed the cortege, and
rode on to this place through the most lovely coun-
try. At each relay we found the postilions awaiting
our arrival, with their horses all harnessed and
in readiness, and on each occasion, as soon as the
livery of the Emperor appeared in sight, shouts of
welcome greeted us. All night long it was the same
bustle and animation, and during the whole of our
ride we passed groups seated near the seaside in their
holiday attire, and waiting the approach of their
Sovereign. The postillions that conducted us were
covered with tricoloured ribbons, and were evidently
in a state of the most violent agitation : springing in
their saddles they would shout " Vive l'Empereur!"
and away would dash the four horses, the carriage
whirling and sliding over the smooth road. Our
drivers get out of the way for no one. Their shouts
of " Service de l'Empereur" warned off of the route
all persons jogging along ; and as we passed rapidly
their doffed hats and salutations testified to their good
will and interest. Really it was a strange romantic
ride ; on all sides flags and banners, dimly discernible
in the night ; at each instant we were passing under
arcs of triumph, and everywhere we found the same
feverish excitement and the same tokens of pleased
astonishment. The Emperor's journey through these
places will be a triumphal march, and the results
will become historical. As I write, the streets of this
city are full to overflowing ; the music of the mili-
tary may be heard even at this early hour (8 a.m),
and as the Emperor only comes at half-past four,
these good people are, as you may judge, determined
to be in time. The Maritime Prefecture, at which
the Imperial corte,gc descends, is not as large
and commodious as that of Brest, but still
is a very pretty mansion, and is to-day most
beautifully decorated. Crowds are on all the bal-
conies waiting in the hot sun, and the hour of anx-
ious expectation is hourly growing longer. At the
entrance of the city the Emperor will be met by the
Prefect, the Sou-Prefect, and the Mayor and Coun-
cillors. The latter official (the Mayor) is to pre-
sent the keys of the city to the Emperor, and is even
now in full toggery and in a state of the most in-
tense excitement. Arrived at the Prefecture the
Emperor and Empress will receive the relgious, civil,
maritime, and military officials. All this cere-
mony ended, the much-needed dinner is to be
eaten, and then a little quiet for their Majesties
for the first time during the day. To-morrow the
Emperor will visit the town, see the port, the arsenal,
and the maritime establishments ; and in the evening
their Majesties will attend the ball given by the city.
The next morning, at half-past eight, the Imperial
train takes its departure. I was astonished to see
how beautiful this portion of France is—the hedges
are as green and the scenery as varied as is any por-
tion of England, and it much resembles it. The
people, I must say, I do not like the appearance of—
they have a dogged, sullen look ; and as for the
women, they are surely the ugliest I have ever
seen in the country, and that is saying much.
One thing, however, admits of no doubt—their
loyalty to their present Sovereign, and their deter-
mination to show it by the most vociferous and en-
ergetic welcome. The city of Lorient has 20,000
inhabitants, and is quite an old place. It gives em-
ployment to some 3,000 workmen, and, as far as I
could ascertain, is a business place of some import-
ance. In the neighbourhood may be seen many
Roman ruins. The city is well fortified, and has a
arge number of troops stationed in it.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

PARIS, SUNDAY Momsmici.
This is the annual fete-day of the Emperor, and
the weather is remarkably favourable for carrying
out the long programmes of out-door amusements.
From an early hour this morning thousands of men,
women, and children, have continued, in a never-
ending stream, to centre towards the various points
of attraction. On the Esplanade of the Invalides,
and along the banks of the Seine, hundreds of booths
are erected, interspersed with shows and mysterious
fortune-telling retreats for the curious. Round-
abouts, gingerbread stalls, and drinking canvas
taverns, forming streets, divide the sea of human
life into smaller streams, which tide on to the
climbing poles, and halt before the theatres, where
military pantomimes are taking place. The Place
de la Concorde, and the grand avenue of the
Champs Elysees are festooned with green wreaths,
from which hang many-coloured lanterns, whilst
here and there, at intervals, are seen golden eagles,
surrounded with flags. The gardens of the Tui-
leries, facing the Palace, are screened with Chinese-
looking constructions, the effect of which .011 only
