THE EX KING OF FRANCE.

the eX tNing and his family, accompanied by seven
or eight hundred persons, among whom Guards du
Corps, Gendarrpos dc Chase. and servants of every
description, arrived yesterday at Vaogne TIE suite
who were principally horseback, seemed to have
undergone great fatigue since they left Ranbouilet
on the Sd Instant. The journey yesterday. about
forty miles. was the larges. they had hitherto per
formed. 1t appears certain that with the exception
OF about one hundred individuals who will embark
with the King none of the Guard Will be permitted &c
enter Cherbourg. Orders had been transmitted from
Government To the Commissioners to dsband the
Guards at Carsnten, halfway between Saint Lao and
faiogne, but at the earnest request OF the King the
three Commissioners took upon themselves the res
possibility OF allowing the whole suite to proceed as
far as Valogne, and from that town the National
Guard OF Cherbourg will escort them within the walls
Several general officers about two hundred men and
the artillery two guns left the King Armenian on

the Duchess de Berry. The King, the Dauph,n. and
Marmont, during the greater part of the ion acy
were on horseback, but, it raincd almost every
day, they often alIghted, and proceeded together in
the same carriage The King wore u blue uniform

these occasions Ine altar upon which Mass is per-
formed must be consecrated, and the ceremony is
long to obvlate this difficulty the altar st,,a
of the chapel of Rambouillet was removed at The limo
OF the departure ot the Royal Family and has since
been made use OF as the base of an altar. In two
OF the towns thro which they passed they heard Mass

Ihe Duke Il Angouleme wore the uniform of tic
Royal Guards without epauettesi or decorations ot
any kind The Duchess is costumed in tho most
mt,le manner. She most frequently was dressed IN
u dark silk gown with large Cashmere shawl upeu
her shoulders, and Leghorn bonnet, the worse for
wear upon her head. She continually held white
cambria handkerchief in her hand and her ewes and
face were considerably nlamed. But the person
who excited universal sympathy, even among these
who abhor the King, is the Duchess de Berry The
male attire which she took on leaving Rambouiet
is laid aside Her countenanec which meyer
possessed much bloom or animation, ha now assumed
death like paeness, and she sits by the side of hnr
children apparently nsensIb!e to t:cr caresses but
now and then she is observed to press her Inns In
their cheeks; her face is then sufusrl with Lec.,c
blush, and a tear, accompanied with mothers

hands to the multitude they were wont to do when
proceeding from the Tuileries to the Chateau of s,
Cloud. When NJ. Pommeraye, the Deputy. who
had been sent from Government to Charles, was pre-
srnted to the latter, the Ex-King spoke thus:-..M
de Pommeraye, you have come with orders from, his
Majesty (hese words actually made use of bnt
in an lronlcal sense) to compel me 10 proceed viii,
more rapidly; but has your Government forootten
that several ladies accompany me? They are ey
tremeiy tagued and it would be an act of cruelty n
make them travel with more despatch; besides the
vesselssn which we are 20 embark are not vet readv
and it will be than painiui-it would he dau0o
rousfor and my followers to remain sepera; dave
in Cherbourg NJ. Pommeraye having consul. cd
General Malson, and Messrs. ODiIlon Bnrret. and
SChenen, the Commissioners, il was arranged hat
the Royal Family should proceed in such manner
lis to reach Cherbourg, without being ob]iped IN rc
main IN the town; II is probable therefore thew will
remain al Valogne the whole of 10 morrow and that
on tuesday. they will depart at early hour, and
embark before noon or that day. The persons of
the suite do not know, up to this momest wbitbor
they are to salI.--The Duke d'Angouleme told the
Duke de Crusso, when they arrived, on the 9Th, at
Argentan, that they were only going at present to
the island oil Guernsey, whcre the King would con-
slider IN what Country he would fix his residence hu

cd TO the same person that 10 determination had
been come to. Various places are named. Some
say that the duchess dc Berry has expressed wish
to return to Naples, md fix her residence in tba cite,
for the present., Gen. LA Sale thinks that Ultimately
the family VIII go TO Mittau, where Louis XVIII re-
sided for many years. The King has been there and
- partial to me country; and others assert that the
u States Is the place where they will arrive so much
preparation has been made for long voyage. AS
