THE EX-KING OF FRANCE, tc.

COWES, AVG. 24.
The sensation produced at this place by the visit of the French Royal
has now expired; but a number of little anecdotes respecting
them float about, and are greedily absorbed by the fresh shoals of eh&
tem. Some of them have been evidently manufactured out of imper-
fectly-understood details given by the inferior attendants, and some are
inventions. The Cowes folks are angry with the King because he did not
land here, which they seem to think he was bound to do, to makeup for
their bad season. I have no doubt that the King was apprehensive of re-
ceiving some indignity. The Princesses have laid out no inconsiderable
sum in the various shops of this little place. They have left a decidedly
favourable impression behind them, and the children are great favourites.
It is somewhat remarkable that the King should have encumbered him-
self with a parcel of old carriages, which I saw on board the Meteor, to
the number of four or five. They looked more like/mores than royal
vehicles. The insignia were clumsily expunged, except on one large
carriage, which bore the royal crown and the letter H.
Poore, A uo. 24.—The late King of France, Charles X. arrived at
this port:yesterday, in his Majesty's bteamer Comet, accompanied by the
whole of his suite. • He disembarked on that part of the quay called
Hamworthy.side, where a carriage, provided by Mr. Doughty, of Up.
ton-house, near this place, received him, in which he immediately pro-
ceeded to Lulwotth Castle, accompanied by the Duke of Luxemburg,
the Duke of Bordeaux, and Count Alfred de Dames, Aide-de-Camp.
The King was very well received by the populace, and was handed to
his carriage by an Alderman of the Corporation. On his driving off, he
was loudly cheered by some of the by-standers, which evidently pleased
him. The remainder of his suite remained in Poole till this morn.
ing, when they also left for Lulworth ; they may be described as
follow :—Baron de Keutsinger, Secretary ; Doctor Bourgau ; his
Royal Highness the Dauphin; Countess of Morisco; the Dauphiness;
the Countess of St. Maure ; Chevalier O'Hergly, Master of the Horse;
her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri; Count de Mesnard, Master
of the Hone ; Count de Brisac, Major Domo ; Count and Countess de
Charetti, friends ; Countess de Bouille, accompanying lady ; Monsieur
de Barbaucois ; Count de Bleuhis ; Elton de Daman ; Chevalier de la
Villalle, Aide-de.Camp ; her Royal Highness Mademoiselle ; Duchess
de Unmans, governess; Mademoiselle Vachou, teacher; Mademoi-
selle L. Hemette, teacher; Mrs. Charles, &c. The King appeared to
look extremely harassed, and his fax showed marks of recent trial and
vexation.

" POOLE, 24TH INST.-1 mentioned yesterday the landing of the
late Royal Family of France—they had just landed at the time of my
writing : they came with their suite and baggage in two steamers and a
dock-yard craft. On coming up the harbour, the ex-King, seeing large
crowds collected on the quay, was afraid he should be insulted ; and
although the collector, who went on board, assured him that no such
thing would occur, he had the vessel anchored at Stakes, a quarter of a
mile from the quay, while Mr. Weld came on shore to make his obser-
vations on the dispositions of the people. His report gave the King
confidence, and the vessel came to the quay, all the party being on
deck. The King, Duke d'Angouleme, Duke de Bordeaux, aid his
tutor, landed on the Ham-ride, where the carriage of Mr. Doughty, of
Upton House, was in waiting to receive them, and in which they imme.
diately set off towards Lulworth. The King shook hands with most
of the persons who were near him on getting into the carriage. and
expressed himself in strong terms grateful to the collector and officers
for their kind attention. and addressing himself aloud to the crowd
around him, thanked all for their civility to him. The ladies after-
wards landed at the Custom-house steps ; and on arriving at the Ante.
lope, the Duchess de Berri, in particular, expressed with great feel.
ing and gratitude the kind reception that they, as she termed them.
selves, " a distressed family," had met with. Our Members called on
them, also Lady B. Punaonby (wife of the Han. Mr. Ponsonby): they
breakfasted at Mr. Lister's this morning, and went off in his carriage.
Their own carriages had the crown and decorations on several of the
panels effaced, and bore other marks of the rough usage they met with
in France."
Foote, Tuesday, Aug. 24.—The deposed Monarch arrived here
yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the Comet government steamer,
and immediately proceeded, in the carriage of L. Doughty, Esq. of
Upton-house, to Lulworth Castle, accompanied by the Dukes d'Angon-
leme and Bordeaux, and Baron de Damao. The Duchesses d'Angou. '
leme and de Berri, slept at the Antelope and London Tavern Inns, and
set off this morning at 9 o'clock, for Lulworth, accompanied by the
Duchess du Oontault, Marquis de Barbonsait, Madame de Raterac, and
about 30 attendants, in 8 carriages. The whole party appeared in ex.
cellent spirits, and highly gratified with the kind reception they met
with. They walked about the town last evening and this morning,
making /several purchases at the various shops; and but one feeling
seems to exist amongst all classes of people, viz.—a feeling of coin.
miaseration and pity for a family who have been driven to a state of
vagrancy (as it were) by the ill advice of Ministers.
