FOREIGN.

The King and Queen of the French, on Monday, ac-
companied by Generals Athalin and Rumigny, visited
Neuilly, but returned to the Tuilleries to dinner. In the
evening their Majesties received the Belgian Ambas-
sador and the Princess de Ligne, Rear-Admiral Laplace,
Generals Jamin, Marquis Oudinot, and many other per-
sons of distinction. It is rumoured that there will be
many promotions in the army on the occasion of the
King's fate-day.
General Gourgaud, it is said, will, in a short time, pro-
ceed to London on a special mission from the King to
Queen Victoria.
Mdlle. Guizot, daughter of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, is convalescent.
Prince Demetrius Galitzin, a General in the service of
the Emperor of Russia, and Governor-General of Mos-
cow, died on Monday, in Paris, of a painful disease, re-
specting which he came to consult the first physicians
here. The Prince was in his 63d year.
On the same day, the Polish refugees at Paris assem-
bled at the Hotel Lambert, the residence of Prince Czar-
toriski, to celebrate Easter. The repast was served up
in the Grand Gallery.. Upwards of 500 persons were
present on this occasion, amongst whom were the Bel-
gian Ambassador and the Princess de Ligne, Count de
Rambuteau, Baron and Baroness Desmichels, Prince and
Princess de Beauveau, &c. The Archbishop of Paris,
accompanied by all the Polish clergy in the capital, came
to give his benediction to the paschal repast. The so-
lemnity can be traced back to the ancient Kings of
Poland of the Jagellone race, from whom Prince Czar-
toriski is descended.
