THE Xi

It it stated that, in landing at balais:the King was
in some danger. The sea ran high, so that the yacht;
could nneappioacls the pier, and his Majesty determin-
ed to pass into a• 6+t►iag-boat, 'whirl, • however, had
equal difficulty in approaching the port, and at or
time his Majesty's suite were in serious alarm. The
King, however, is reported to have shcwn more pre-
sence of mind than any one around tint, and gave his
orders coolly and collectedly. A violent sea pitched
the vessel alongsile the pier, and, providentially his
Majesty was enabled to land in safety. Some danger
arose, it is said, previously, by the awkward misma-
nagement of the French boat improperly coming close
to the bow •of the yacht, where the boat's mast got en-
tangled fur a moment. At this period the King's cap
fell into the water, and he lost it. The dinner had
been provided at Dessin's hotel by the Duke of Wel-
lington and the Marquess of Londonderry, who had
previously arrived. The company who sa, down to
the Royal repast amounted to fourteen persons French
and English. The Colonel of the French guard of
honour was one of the company who had the honour
of dining. The other officers and privates of the
guard received a mete 'blanche from his Majesty to or-
der whatever refieshments they pleased, and at his de-
parture he ordered a donation of five francs to be pre-
sented to each private of the guard.
