| VISIT OF QUEEN VICTORIA TO FRANcE-NARRow
ESCAPE The King at the French, hearing of the
Queens intention Of taking short excursion by
sea, commissioned his sons, the Prince de Jonvlle
and Duke d'Aumae, to invite her to his chateau at
Eu She took her departure from Southampton,
amidst. great rejoicngs and her progress along the
coast Is recorded with much minuteness. The
| royal squadron reached Treport, where il was re-
| ceived by the King of the French and his family
with great ecat The royal families of England and
| France then, amidst great rejocings, left for the
chateau d'Eu, which they reached at seven O'Clock
the same evening. and splendid banquet was serv-
ed up at eight. The Queens jou ney to France has
excited no little interest both sides of the chan
mel Some OF the Paris papers look upon it with any
thing but satisfaction. This Is the first occasion for
upwards of three centuries that the sovereigns of
the two countries have met under simila. circum-
stances. The last meeting of like nature was that
between Henry VIII and Francis |, on the field of
the Cloth OF Gold, which was followed two years
subsequently, by war between the same monarchs
During Victoria S stay, Eu will be the scene of great
spendor. Louis Philippe, who superintends the
most minute arrangements, seems bent upon giving
his guest not merely friendly but an enthusiastic
reception. The English people, who have very
friendly feeling towards their French neighbors-a
feeling not always recprocated-view this inter-
change OF Inequalities between the two monarchs
with great interest and no inconslderable degree of
pleasure. The meeting is well-tlmed, as the war
fever which burned SO fiercely during the admins.
| tration of NJ THEIRS has burnt itself out If the
meeting should lead to better estimate of each
others worth on the part of both countries desire
to make due allowance for each others national
characteristics, and put end to that spirit of carp
ing criticism, jealousy, and fault finding, as regards
England, which the last half dozen years have al
forded so many samples, it will be consummation
devouy to be wished by every patriot on both sides
the straits OF Dover. BY the way, the royal family
OF France had narrow escape from destruction
few days since, while taking airing the vicin-
Ity OF En-. The party, ten in NUMBER including the
King, Queen, the Princes, Processes, and grand
children, were IN family coach, when three of the
horses, while passing a brl0ge, frightened by The
discharge of artillery, took fright and precipitated
themselves in the abyss below. Fortunately, the
traces OF the fourth horse cut, through the pre-
sence of mind of the position, before he had time
to follow the leaders, otherwise the whole party
would have been dragged after him to instant ami
hllatlon., This fearfu! incident, from which, like
many others of similar character, it has been the
good fortune OF Louis Philippe to escape, would
seem to point out the possession of that 'charmed
life" upon which Shakspere's Scottish thane so tool
ishly relied.
The presence in France. of no less than four
Queens, vz:-those of England, France, Belgium
and Spain, for the Ex-Queen Regent is still expec
ted-of the llustrlous consort of our beloved sove
reign of the King of the French and his sons, of
Sout, of Aberdeen, and Gulzot, and other of the
principal statesmen OF Europe, with host of mill
tarlen and civilians OF distinction, as actors in the
scene, cannot but render it of the most mpor-
tant that history will have to record.
