DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR AND
EMPRESS OF THE FiIENCH.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 10.

At a quarter past 2 o'clock .this afternoon the
Emperor and Empress of the French embarked at
Osborne beach on board her Majesty Queen
Victoria's state barge, and were steered by Captain
the Hon. Joseph Denman to the Imperial state
yacht La Reine Hortense. There was no guard of
honour on the beach, but the departure was as
private as the arrival of the Imperial visitors on
Thursday last. Her Majesty and the Prince
Consort accompanied the Emperor and Empress in
the barge, and were escorted by a flotilla of boats
from the fleet. On board the Reine Hortense her
Majesty and the Prince Consort took an affectionate
farewell of their illustrious guests, and the French
Imperial yacht immediately weighed for Havre.
On her Majesty and the Prince leaving the French
yacht every demonstration of respect was paid them
by all on board, the Emperor remaining uncovered
and bowing repeatedly. Her Majesty and the
Prince embarked on board the Fairy, which ac-
companied the Reine Hortense for a short distance
from Osborne, and then put about and returned.
The British white ensign was hoisted at the fore,
the French at the main, and the blue British ensign
at the mizen of the Reine Hortense, which was fol-
lowed at the distance of about half a mile by La
Corse, the Pelican, and the Ariel, having British
flags at their mastheads.
On arriving off Ryde the Commodore of the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club fired a Royal salute
from his three-masted schooner yacht Brilliant, and
the club battery also saluted. On nearing Spithead
file senior officer of the squadron there (Captain
the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8.,) opened a general
Royal salute, at the second gun of which the St.
Vincent, Captain Eyres, C. 8., Cambridge, 72,
Captain Jerniogham, Curacoa, 21, Captain the
Hon. G. F. Hastings C. 8., also fired, all with
yards manned and ships dressed in colours, the
French ensign at the main, the British red and
white ensign at the fore and mizen. While passing
this squadron (which also comprised her Majesty's
ships Devastation, Commander Marshall, the Sea-
lark, Lieutenant Lowther, and Rolla, Lieutenant
Nelson) the Emperor remained the whole time un-
covered, the band on board the Imperial yacht
played the national anthem of " God save the
Queen," and the Empress waved her handkerchief
in acknowledgement of the salutes, &c. Admiral
Sir George F. Seymour, K. C. 8., Commander-in-
Chief at Portsmouth, was afloat in the Fire Queen
steam yacht, Master-Commander W. F. Paul, and
awaited the Emperor's arrival at Spithead.
As the Imperial squadron steamed through
Spithead her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth
harbour, and the garrison battery, also saluted.
As the Imperial yacht approached the Warner
lightvessel the Fire Queen steamed up abreast, and
Admiral Sir George Seymour dipped his flag and
dropped astern, having received a most cordial
adieu from the Emperor and Empress, who re-
mained on the deck of the Reine Hortense. At
half-past 3 they passed the Nab light, and were
hull down at a quarter past 4, when the French
squadron had fore and aft sails set, and were
steering for Havre. The weather was beautifully
fins.


The following is the text of the commercial treaty
concluded recently at St. Petersburg by Count de
Morny between France and Russia :
" Art. 1. There shall be full and entire freedom
of commerce and navigation for the vessels and
subjects of the two high contracting parties in every
part of their respective territories where navigation
is actually allowed or may he allowed in future to
vessels of any other country. Frenchmen iu Rus-
sia and Russians in France may reciprocally enter,
travel, or sojourn in perfect freedom in any part of
the respective territories to lo k after their busi-
ness, and will enjoy the same protection as the na-
tive subjects.
" They may, in the towns and ports, hire or
possess houses, storehouses, shops, and ground
which may be necessary to them without being sub-
ject to taxes, whether general or local, or to any
imposta whatsoever except such as are or may be
imposed upon the subjects (nationaux.)
In the same manner they will enj IT in affairs
of commerce and industry all the privileges, immu-
nities, and other favours whatsoever as are enjoyed
or may be enjoyed by _the natives.
" It is, however, understood that the above sti-
pulations in no way affect the laws, ordinance=, or
special regulations in affairs of commerce, industry,
and police in vigour in each of the two countries,
and applicable to all strangers in general.
" Art. 11. The subjects of the two high contrac-
ting parties are reciprocally exempt from all per-
sonal service, either in the army or navy, or na-
tional guards or militia. They are also dispensed
from any judicial or municipal function whatso-
ever.
" Art. 111. French vessels, from whatever place
they may come, with cargoes or in ballast, into the
ports of Russia or of the Grand Duchy of Finland,
and Russian vessels which may enter the ports of
France coming directly from Russian ports or from
the ports of the Grand Duchy of Finland with car-
goes, or from any ports whatsoever in ballast, shall
not be subject to the payment in either country,
either on their arrival or on their departure, or
during their stay, of any other dues for pilotage,
tonnage, clearage, qaay dues, quarantine, port dues,
lighthouses, brokerage dues, or any other charges,
no is atter uric's' what denomination, on the hull of
the vessel, levied for the benefit of the State, com-
munes, local corporations, private individuals, or
establishments whatsoever, than such as are or may
be levied on national vessels coming from the same
places, or having the same destination.
" Art. IV. In consideration of the special ad-
vantages granted to the French flag in the ports of
Russia and of the Grand Duchy of Finland by the
preceding article, as also by Art. 12 of the present
treaty, it has been agreed between the high con-
tracting parties, that, dating front the exchange of
the ratifications of the said treaty,
" 1., The produce of the soil and of the industry
of the States of his Majesty the Emperor of all the
Russias shallenjoy, on theirimpurtation into French
colonies, all advantages and favours actually granted,
or which may hereafter be granted to similar pro-
duce of any other European nation the most
favoured, and that in every respect Russian ves-
sels shall in French colonies, on their entrance,
during their sojourn, and on their departure,
whether with cargoes or in ballast, and without
distinction of whence they come (de provenance),
be treated on the same footing as the vessels Of
the most favoured European nation.
"2. Russian vessels coming directly from a port
of the empire of Russia or of the Grand Duchy of
Finland to a port of Algeria shall only pay a fixed
tonnage duty of 2f. per ton, and that duty once
paid in a port of Algeria shall not be exacted in any
other port of Algeria in which the vessel might
enter either to complete its unloading or loading.
" Moreover, his Majesty the Emperor of the
French engages to give to Russian vessels the en-
joyment of every advantage that may ever be
granted in the ports of his States to the vessels of
any other European nation as regards indirect
navigation, and that gratuitously if the concession
was gratuitous, or by means of compensationif it
took place by payment.
"Art. V. Those vessels sailing under the flag
of either State are respectively considered as
Russian or French vessels as are really possessed
and 11,u.dly enregittered according to the laws of
the country, and where captain or owners are re-
gularly provided with the competent authority of
license and papers on board to attest the legitimacy
of their flag.
Art. VI. As regards anchorage, charging and
discharging chargo in the ports roadsteads, har-
bours, basins, rivers, or canals, or generally as
regards all formalities or regulations whatsoever to
which trading vessels; their craws, or cargoes may
be subject, no privilege shall be granted to a na-
tional vessel in either State which is not equally
enjoyed byfthp vessels of the other:; its being the
wish of the high contracting parties in this respect
that French and Russian vessels shall ba treated
on a footing of perfect equality.
s 4 ma, VII. French vessels entering into a port
of the Russian empire or the Grand Duchy of
Finland, and, reciprocally, Russian vessels entering
a port of France, and only coming to discharge a por-
tion of their cargo, may, conforming, however, to the
laws and.regulations of the respective States, keep
on board that portion of their cargo destined for
some other port, either of the same or of another
country,
pay for
thatancl re-exportpartof
it
theirwith cargooutbeing compelled
to
any customs
dues except those of surveillance, which, however,cuoms
can naturally only be levied at the rate fixed for
the national navigation.
" Art. VIII. The captains and owners of French
and Russian vessels are reciprocally
exempt from
any obligation to employ in the respective ports of
the two States official agents (expeditionnaires •offi-
ciels), and may, consequently, have recourseto their
own consuls, or employ agents recommended by
them, conforming always, in cases provided for by
the French and by the Russian codes of commerce,
to the regulations which are not in any way affected
by the present clause.
" Art. IX. The following vessels are entirely
exempt from all tonnage and ship dues in the res-
pective ports :—]
" 1. Those vessels which having entered in bal-
last from any place whatsoever leave it in ballast.
" 2. Those vessels which, passing from a port of
one of the two states to one or more ports of the
other state, either to discharge the whole or a por-
tion of their cargo brought from abrcad, or to ar-
range and complete their cargo,
can prove that they
have already paid the dues.
" S. Those vessels which may enter a port with
a cargo, either voluntarily or from stress of weather,
and leave It without having done any commercial
transactions.
" In case of stress of weather having compelled
a vessel to run into port, the unloading and reload-
ing of her cargo- for repairs shall not be considered
a commercial transaction, nor the shipment into
another vessels in case of one not being seaworthy,
nor the necessary outlays for provisioning the crew,
nor the sale of damaged merchandise when allowed
by the Custom-house authorities.
" Art. X. It is expressly understood that the

are not applicable to the coasting

clusively under ice o°ar l flag

"In consequence of the above stipulations no
differential duty can he levied by France on mer-
chandise imported directly from Russia under the
Russian flag, nor in Russia on merchandise im-
ported under the French flag. Moreover, his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of all the Ruzsias declares that
the enactments of the ukase of the 19th of June,
1845, shall not in any manner be applicable to d it-ea
or indirect commerce, nor to the navigation either
direct or indirect of the French empire.
" Art. XIII. Merchandise of every description
exported from France by Russian vessels, or from
Russia by French vessels for any destination what-
soever shall not be subject to any other dues or
formalities on leaving than national vessels ; and,
under either flag, they will enjoy all bounties or
restitution of dues, or other favours which are or
may he granted in either country to national na-
vigation.
"Exception to the above, however, and to the
stipulations of articles 3 and 12 is what concerns
the advantages of which the produce of the national
fisheries is or may be the object.
"Art. XIV. In everything concerning the Cus-
tom-house dues and navigation the two high con-
tracting parties reciprocally promise not to grant
any privilege, favour, or immunity to any other
State that is not immediately and instantly ex-
tended to their respective subjects, gratuitously, if
the concession is gratuitous, in favour of the other
State, and for the same compensation or the equi-
valent if the concession was conditional.
" Art. XV. The two high contracting parties
mutually agree upon their right to establish in the
ports and towns of their respective States consuls-
general, consuls, vies-consuls, and consular agents
appointed by them, who will reciprocally enjoy the
same privileges, powers, and exemptions as are or
may be enjoyed by those of the most favoured
nations.
" In case some of those agents should wish to
exercise commerce they are bound to submit to the
same laws and customs as submitted to, as regards
their commercial transactions, by the private indi-
viduals of their nation and by the subjects of the
most favoured States.
Art. XVI. It is especially understood that when
one of the two high contracting parties shall select
for its consul or consular agent m a port or town
of the other party a subject of the idler, that con-
sul or agent will continue to be considered a sub-
ject of the nation to which he belong-t, and will
consequently be subject to the same laws and regu-
lations which govern his fellow-citizens, without,
however, that obligation interfering in any manner
with the exercise of his functions or infringing upon
the inviolability of the consular archives.
" Art. XVII. The respective consuls-general,
consuls, vice•consuls, and consular agents are ex
elusively intrusted with the internal order on board
trading vessels of their nation, and will alone take
cognisance of any difference between the crew, cap-
tain, or officers. But the local authorities may in-
tervene when the dispute may be of a nature to
disturb the public peace on shore or in port, and
may also take cognisance of such differences when
a person of the country or a person not belonging
to the ship's company is mixed up with it.
"In all other cases the said authorities will con-
fine themselves to giving armed support to the con-
sular authorities when required to conduct to pri-
son such individuals of the crew as they may think
it advisable to send there in consequence of such
differences.
" Art. XVIII. The consuls-general, consuls,
vice-consuls, and consular agents of each of the
high contracting parties residing in the States of
the other shall receive from the local authorities
every aid and support in detecting and arresting
sailors or other individuals belonging to the crews
of vessels of war or of commerce of their respective
countries, whether convicted or not of crimes,
offences, or misdeeds committed on board such
vessels.
" For that purpose they will make a written
application to the competent authorities, proving
that the men they wish to seize really belong to the
crew. Such deserters will be placed at the dis-
posal of the consular authorities, and. may at their
request be imprisoned and kept there at the ex-
pense of the said consular agents until restored to
their ships or otherwise sent home.
" Art XIX. regulates cases of salvage, which are
to be reciprocally the same for both countries.
"Art. XX. empowers consular agents to put
their seal on the property of defunct persons be-
longing to their nation until the heirs-at-law are
established.
" Art. XXI. establishes that the stipulations of
the treaty apply to all vessels sailing under the
Russian flag, including the trading vessels of the
Grand Duchy of Finland, which is an integral part
of the Russian empire.
" Art. XXII. decrees that, with a view to pro-
tect manufactures, the imitation of marks on manu-
factured goods is strictly prohibited, and any person
doing so shall be liable to an action for damages.
"The marks of the manufacturer are to be de•
posited for Russia at the office of the Tribunal de
la Seine, at Paris ; and for Franco at St. Peters-
burg, at the Department for Manufactures and In-
ternal Commerce.
" Art. XXIII. announces that the two Powers
will, in a special convention, concert measures for
guaranteeing literary and artistic property in their
respective States.
"Art. XXIV. stipulates that the ratifications of
the present treaty be exchanged in two months, or
sooner if possible, at St. Petersburg. It is to be in
force for the term of six years after its promulga-
tion. If at the expiration of six years the treaty
has not been given up, with one year's notice, it
will continue to be binding from year to year until
one of the high contracting parties shall have given
one year's notice of its discontinuation.
