From Le Globe.

The following curious episode of the journey of Charles X. has been sent us from L'Aiglc, where he spent one night.
 1t appears from thence that the fallen
 Court has not changed any thing in its habits of ridiculous etiquette, as if that could be one of any use to them.
 M. de C., the richest inhabitant of L. Aigle, who possesses fine chateau, was informed by the authorities that Charles X. was next day to proceed from Verneuil to L'Aigle, and that he would stop one day there. M. de c. immediately sSt of for Verneuil, to learn what he could do for him. He applied for instructions to M. Hocquart, the Maitre d'Hotei, after a previous conference wiih inc Commission CTS of Government, who accompanied tho Ex-King. He returned home then to make the necessary preparations at his chateau he destined for the use of Charles X. an apartment, consisting of saloon, a bed room usually occupied by Madame de C.'s mother, and grand dressing room fit to lodge valet de clIambre in. Divers a. partments in other parts of the chateau
 were intended to be appropriated for the
 use of the rest of the family. Mattresses and straw were prepared for the suite in the corridors and unoccupied rooms, the pro- prietor, his young wife, and child and nurse, taking refuge in the servants rooms, where they established their dining room, bed chamber, kitchen, S0c. contenting them- selves with such scanty accommodation. It
 is to be noted that according to the in-
 structions of the Ex-king's Maitre d'Ho- | <a1 had A.
 the Duchess de Berri, and to Madame de
 Maille, who accompanied that Princess
 as well as the Dauphin and the Dauphin.

 Bordeaux, Mademoiselle de Berri, hel
 Governess, &c.
 At seven o'clock in the morning, M
 Hocquart, with crowd of culinary officers
 and wagons, laden with plate and utensils
 arrived, as was customary during the trav-
 els of the Court. He wanted immediate
 iy to know the arrangements taken for the
 lodgings of the Court. He was first con-
 ducted to the Kings apartment, which he
 crossed to enter his bed room. He then turned round solemnly to M. de C., and exclaimed-' Sir, it is impossible that the King can sleep here y Why, this is the best room in the chateau, and the only one I thought worthy of the King. ! in- tended it for him, it being my mothers owr room.' 'Very unfortunate indeed, bu , the King cannot possibly sleep here. M de e. looked at the Maitre d'Hote perfectly astonishcd, when the latter hasti. , iy said, Sir, etiquette formally forbids it The King can only sleep in a room be- , hind which there is anotber sufficiently 7 large to contain his attendants during th' .. night. It is impossible to get over this in , disnensable rule 'There is but one ex'
 pedient then, Sir, namely, to move thu 1, Kinp's bed into the saloon, and to conver , it into bedroom Do so, Sir The bed was immediately taken down, with it . rich draperies and ornaments, which were removed, together with lOoking-glass a
 the foot of the bed. They were all fxet f in the saloon, holes being bored to receive their nails and hooks. The destruction was considerable, every thing being done as it is no doubt customary al Court. The 3 other arrangements were improvec.
