NARROW ESCAPE OF LOUIS PuILLlppE AND
THE ROYAL FAMlLY.--On Monday last Louis
Philippe and the Royal Family had the
narrowest escape from destruction. The
King, the Gu cen, the Count Of Paris, the
Prince and Princess Of Joinvile, the Duke
d'Aumale, and in fact, all the members OF
the Royal Family, took one of their
usual drives in the Cheateau d'Eu. The
carriage was drawn by four very spirited
horses. The party, it appears, in the
course of their drive. had TO pass through
TrePor., small fishing village situated
about two miles from Vile d'Eu, and il
happening TO be the first time the Count
Of Paris visited that place, the loyal in
habltants considered it their duty to dc
their future sovereign especial honor, and
accordingly saluted his Royal Highness
with a feu de joie. The guns were fired
just as the carriage was approaching
and the horses started at the noise, com.
menced plunging furiously. The postil-
ions lost all command Of them, and they
darted forward towards the bridge over
the Brezle, the parapet Of which the lea.
ders cleared at bound. The third horse
was dragged after its companions, and for
a moment the destruction OF the whole
party seemed inevitable; but fortunately
the position was enabled TO acquire some
command over the fourth horse, and he
did not follow. Assistance was happily
at hand, and the whole pa riy were reea-
sed from their perilous situation; not, how
ever before the traces had been cut, and
the horses left to their fate. The three
horses, of course, fell into the stream be-
low, and were injured, but both the posti-
ions escaped. The Queen was much af.
fected, and wept bitterly after the danger
was over. The King himself acted with
great presence Of mind. He held the
young Count Of Paris IN his arms, and
refused to leave the carriage till every
member Of his family were placed in
safety, on terra frma.
The friendly reception given to the
Duke Of Victory in London, has given
great offence to the French press in gem
eral.
ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND IN
FRANcE.-The Queen Of England and her
consort arrived at Trecport, in France, on
the evening Of Saturday, September ed,
and then proceeded to the ChaItau d'Eu.
The landing is thus described:
At s o'clock squadron of the first re-
giment Of GARDENERS arrived from EuI
at Treeport, proceeded by its band, and
drew Up to the quay opposite 10 the place
fixed for the landing Of the Queen. Al
fight Of steps covered with Persian car
pet and the balusters Of which were COW
cred with crimson velvet, led from the
quay TO the deck Of the pleasure boat of
the royal family La Reide des Belges,
which was adorned in the most taseful
manner. Next to it lay the royal barge,
rowed by twenty -four picked men, dres
sed in white, with an awning of crimson
silk al the stern, for the accommodation Of
The royal party. Shortly afterwards a
signal was made that three sail Of vessels
were in sight. but as the sky was hazy to-
wards tho horizon, it was not certain that
it was the royal fotila, and the false Gierte
Of the morning rendered people cautious.
In the course Of few minutes, howev er.
all doubts were removed and three can
non shots were fired from the battery on
The left jetty announcing that Queen Vic
toria was on the coast chdr-a-bOne IN
which were the Kings grandchildren, the
Count de Paris, and the Duke de Charities,
and the Count d'Eu, drove into Treeport
about the same time, and the young prin-
'esses took their seats at that battery al
midst the ladies, tc whose charge thoyl
we're confided, and number Of officers In
waiting.
The Royal banner was 10 the mean time
holsted at the extremity Of the battery. !
