The King of the French, on Thursday, received at Neuilly
31. Mazard, Mayor of Limoges ; M. Fourner, Counsellor of
the Cour Royale, and Member of the Municipal Council ;
and 31. Arblant, Member of the Consultative Chamber of
Manufactures of Limoges, from which town they were dele-
gates, on the subject of the railroad from Vierzon to Limoges
by Chateauroux, lately passed. His Majesty conversed with
them for some time on the state of the central departments,
and the benefit they would derive from this new means of
communication.
The following is the current rumour respecting the King's
visit to the Queen of England :—The King and Royal
Family will leave Neuilly for the Chateau of Bizzy, imme-
diately after the close of the session. They will go from
thence to the Chateau d'Eu, where they will arrive about
tke middle of August. His Majesty will remain at the
Chateau d'Eu till the 12th or 15th of September, when he
will embark from Treport for Portsmouth, accompanied by
three ships of the line, and three steamers. From Ports-
mouth he will proceed by railway for Windsor Castle.
The heat at Paris is very oppressive. On Friday the
thermometer stood at 89 deg.
A letter from St. Omer announces that his Royal Highness
the Duke de Nemours left that place on the 24th for Metz,
after reviewing the troops of the garrison. During the re-
view, an accident occurred to two cuirassiers from the falling
of their horses. The Prince immediately went to the spot,
and ordered that the greatest attention should be paid to
them ; the injuries they received were not, however, very
severe. St. Omer was illuminated on the occasion of the
visit of the Royal Duke, which occasioned great enthusiasm.
The Moniteur confirms the report already mentioned, that
after the official closing of the session, the Minister of Com-
merce will submit to the approbation of the King several or-
donnances for the modification of the tariff of customs, and
adds, that they will be in conformity with the recommenda-
tions of the committees of the Chamber of Deputies, which
have not been discussed in the Chamber from want of time.
Saturday being the first of the fetes of the three days of
July, a funeral service to the memory of the victims of the
revolution was celebrated in several of the churches of Paris.
The great illuminations were to take place on Monday.
We find the following in the Augsburg Gazette of the 23d :
" Letters from Bologna announce that tranquillity is restored
in that city, and also in the legations. There have not been
any other condemnations. The court-martial has condemned
to death a man nalned Gardenoz, for having, in December
last, killed a custom-house officer at one of the gates of Bo-
logna. He was shot on the 26th inst."
The Gazette des Tribunaux states on the authority of a
letter from Berlin, that the Prussian Government has come
to a resolution to abolish imprisonment for debt in all cases.
The Hanover Gazette of the 17th inst. announces that the
King has been indisposed, but not so much so as to prevent
him from transacting business.
We learn from Prague that on the 16th inst. notices were
posted up in the city that, as tranquillity was completely
restored, the ordonnance directing all public-houses to be
closed at nine o'clock was no longer in force, and that they
might, as before, be kept open till 12.
