of pleasure along the British coast for fourteen days
In this he embarked with ffty-sx followers eight
horses, and two carriages, in the Thames, on Wed
nesday last this morning. about O'Clock, they
reached the coast of France, of Wmiroux about three
miles from Boulogne.
The surprise ofcaptain and crew may be imagined
in the peaceful garb Of citizens but miitdire

soldiers with ol-skn covering their hats, with
the number 40 painted in front that being the reg-
ment which at Strasbouig had formerly identified it.

Their object was made evident. The ship
boat lowered, and the whole company landed in
three trips Before the Prince left the vessel, he

When all had landed they marched into the town
by the Place Navarin, Rue des Carreux, Rue Simo-
neaux into the Grand Rue, shouting-"Viye lEmpc
reur" the Prince carrying his hat the point Of his
sword, and waving it in the air. From the Grand
Rue they made their way by the Rue de la Lampe to
the Caserne, and reused the small body of troops Of
the line Ct believe only one company that perform
duty here. The soldiers awakened, and seeing them
selves surrounded by general officers, knew not what
to make of the scene. They were, however, soon
made to comprehend that revolution on foot,
that Louis Philippe was dethroned that all France
reused in favor of their Emperor, Louis Napo-
leon and that they must to march forthwith upon
Paris
As some preparing to obey, their captain, who
had been awakened by the noise, rushed in among
them and restored their wavering loyalty by shouting
Vive lie Roi." High words and scuffice ensued
between him and Prince Louis, when the latter drew
pistol and fired unfortunately the ball shattered the
under jaw of poor soldier who endeavoring to
separate them, and the whole party, finding that the
soldiers lukewarm that the officers faithful,
that nothing to be done there precpitatey quilted

BY this time the town was reused, the authorities
foot the drums were beating to arms, and the
National Guards pouring out in all directions The
proclamations one Of which enclose, with decree,
had been avshy distributed along every through
which they passed and money given to those who had
followed them. These soon declared what the object
was and the necessary directions were given by the
Sous Prefet to attack the disturbers of the peace.
Within hours the greater part were either prison

stand after leaving the Caserne.
Some made their way with the eagle to the Napo-
leon column some with the Prince Fastened to the
side, and sgnalled for boat from the steamer.
Unfortunately for them, too many got into it, and il
