ARRIVAL OF 11E it INIAJEIY IN FRANCE.

We have elsewhere detailed, at c oisiderable•length, the
particulars of her Majesty's inaline excursion din iu
I..st week, and we have tow the extreme gratification 0!
announcing her Majesty's safe arrival on the shore. of
France on Saturday nicht.
The village of " Eu," where her Majesty was expected
to land, presented during the whole of the past ,eek a
scene of bustle and excitement, to which it has never siac,
the first moment of its existence been witness. A, eight
o'clock on Saturday, the sound of the guns at tb, h ctt. r
of Treport put everybody on the qui vine. Nearly -t,Ol/0
troops were stationed at Treport. During the wh,ile of
the morning and afternoon expectation was on tiptoe, and
at five o'clock, p.m., the sound of the gun at Treport an-
nounced the arrival of the Royal squadron ; and the French
Royal carriages, amongst which was a very superb char-
a-banc; painted Orleans blue and emblazoned with the
Royal arms of France, drawn by eight horses in state har-
ness of Russia leather, entered the c'ours d' honntur, to
take up the Royal party. They departed at twenty mi-
nutes after five. In the first carriage were the King of
the French, the Queen of the French, the Queen of the
Belgians, the Princess Clementine, the Duchess of Or-
leans, the Princess of Joinville, and Madame Adelaida
In the second carriage, M. Guizot, Marshal Sebastiani,
Admiral Mackau, and other Ministers; and in the other
carriages, the great officers of the Palace, and other func-
tionaries. The Duke d'Aumale and Prince Augustus of
Saxe Coburg were on horseback, accompanied by a nu-
merous cavalcade.

A+, five o'clock a squadron of the lst Regiment of Ca-
rabiniers arrived from Eu at Treport, preceded by its
band, and drew up on the quay opposite to the place fixed
for the landing of the Queen. A flight of steps, covered
with a Persian carpet, and the balusters of which were
lined with crimson velvet, led from the quay to the deck
of the pleasure-boat of the Royal Family, La Reine des
Beiges, which was adorned in the most tasteful manner.
Next to it lay the Royal barge, rowed by twenty-four
picked men, dressed in white, with an awning of crimson
silk at the stern, for the accommodation of the Royal
party. Shortly afterwards a signal was made that three
sail of vessels were in sight. Soon after six the King, his
sons, and several of the Ministers descended into the barge
amidst the roaring of artillery from the batteries, forts,
and ships in the roads. The sea was as smooth as glass.
Queen Amelia, Madame Adelaide, the Duchesses of Or-
leans and Coburg, and the Princess de Joinville proceeded
with their ladies of honour to the end of the left pier. In
less than twenty minutes the King's boat was by the side
of the steamer on board of which were the Queen and
Prince Albert, and a general volley was fired from the
ramparts and ships when his Majesty went on board, as
also when his Royal visiters descended into the barge.
The latter then passed before the line of steamers and
coast guards, saluted by the crews, and soon after entered
the harbour amidst the acclamations of the mutitudes as-
sembled on both piers. After saluting her Majesty Queen
Victoria as she passed near, the Queen of the French, the
Princesses, and suite, repaired to the landing place, where
the Queen of England soon made her appearance, leaning
on the arm of the King of the French. The moment the
two Sovereigns set their feet on the quay t',:e air resounded
with cries of " Vice le Roi !" and " Vive la Reine !" and
the band of the Carabiniers struck up the air " God save
the Queen."
The King then presented her Majesty to his Queen,
who conducted her to the Pavilion, on which waved the
flags of England and France. The King followed them
at some distance, with Prince Albert and the Princes and
Princesses of the Royal Family. Her Majesty, after rest-
ing a while at the Pavilion, received the felicitations of
the authorities, including the parish priests or Eu and
Treport. After this ceremony was over, the King, taking
Queen Victoria by the hand, retired with her to the ex-
tremity of the Pavilion, and the whole court and authori-
ties defiled before them, bowing respectfully as they passed.
The band of the Carabineers played again " God save the
Queen," and the squadron then galloped off in the direc-
tion of the chateau.

The eight-horsed state-carriage next advanced to the
entrance of the Pavilion. The King handed in Queen
Victoria and Queen Amelia, who sat by her side, and then
seated himself opposite to her Majesty, with Prince Al-
bert on his right. The Princes de Joinville, and Coburg,
and the Duke d'Aumale, having mounted their horses,
the Royal party set out, saluted everywhere on their pas-
sage with the loudest cheers. The suites of both Sove-
reigns got into the other carriages, and drove off to the
Chateau. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence having seen ber
Majesty safely landed, returned to his ship.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria wore a black satin dress,
with a pelerine cardinale, and a white bonnet and rihands.
11,r Majesty arrived at the Chateau of Eu at half-past
seven o'clock. Immediately afterwards their Majesties
appeared in the balcony over the grand entrance. Our
beloved Queen bowed and kissed hands repeatedly, and
King Louis Philippe flourished and waved his hat with a
vigour, and cheered with a power, which the youngest
man present could not have exceeded. This over, the
Royal party retired, and in a few minutes the troops of all
arms defiled before the grand balcony, and marched to
their quarters. _

A grand banquet was served up in the evening.
