The Xing of the French, with he, rest of the Royal Family,
quitted the Tuileries on Wednesday (and not on.the preced-
lag, day, as was announced by Galignani's Messenger), at
half-past four o'clock, to take up their summer residence at
Neuilly. At the Barriere de l'Etoile the cortege found a de-
tachment of the mounted National Guards of the Banlieue,
which acted as escort to the palace. Lithe Alba St. Foy
before the gate of the park, were drawn up six companies of
the National Guard of Neuilly, having at their head the Sub-
Prefect of St. Denis, Viscount Chasseloup Laubat, the Gene-
rals commanding the divisions attached to Paris, the Colonel
and field-officers of the G9th regiment of the Hue, at present
in garrison at Courbevoie, the officers of gendarmerie, the
mayor, his deputies, and the municipal councillors of Neuilly.
The King alighted, and several addresses were presented to
him. He afterwards passed the National Guard in review.
.The cortege then entered the park, and proceeded to the
Château. At seven o'clock there was a grand dinner at the
Palace, and at nine o'clock the authorities were received.
