WOZZION.

The King of the French, accompanied by Generals
Aymard and Friant, and two orderly officers, visited St.
Cloud on Tuesday afternoon, but returned to Neuilly to
dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the Mi-
nisters of the Interior, Public Instruction, and Com-

The Patrie of Wednesday states, that " the ultimatum
of England with respect to Otaheite, which has been
talked of for some days, was definitively placed in the
hands of M. Guizot this morning by Lord Cowley."
The Globe, which is a Ministerial journal, has denied
the existence of any ultimatum of the kind alluded to,
and states that the Council met on Tuesday, and agreed
to an offer of reparation, which it has reason to hope will
be considered satisfactory.
The Cons titutionnel says the Council of Ministers met
on Tuesday under the Presidency of the King at half-
past twelve, and did not separate for two hours. Before
the Council, M. Guizot had a long conference with the
English Ambassador, at whose residence the Ambassa-
dors and Chargise d'Affaires of the great Powers met
yesterday in conference. We are assured that after the
Council M. Guizot paid a second visit to Lord Cowley.
