DEPARTURE OF THE GRAND DUKE
CONSTANTINE.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY 5 A.g.
The Grand Duke and suite embarked on boar'
the Oihorne about 11 last night, and at 10 minutes
to 5 o'clock this morning she weighed and left,
under a salute of 21 guns from the " R.Y.S." bat
tery at Cowes. As she approached Spithead, with
the Grand Duke's standard at the main, the
mouth, 90-gun ship, led off a general royal sale°
from the squadron at Spithead, all with mast-bead
dressed. This, being at the early hour of
minutes past 5 on a brilliant summer's morning,
naturally awakened the inhabitants of either shore,
and many rushed to the beach, imagining portal°
the " Glorious First of June" was ' fighting its
battle o'er again. The cannonade was very inWe's'
ing, in which the flag-ship Victory in the harboor
also took a part. By a quarter to 6 the Osborue
was out of sight from Portsmouth, and .steastin%
away at full speed for Calais.
