ARRIVAL AT EU.-As soon rs the commot;on
incidental on this happy meeting had little sub
sdcd-and it may be remarked that emotions had
been perceptbe on both sides, particularly on the
part Of Queen Victoria-orders were given for
the carriages to advance. Here the shouts Of the
multitude again arose, when the King of the
French handed his royal visitors into the state
chariot. He and Prince Albert occupied one OF
the front seats, and the two Queens the opposite
one: whilst on the seats behind were the Queen
Of the Belgians, the Princess de Joinve, the
Duchess of Orleans. Madame Adelaide and the
Princess Clementine. The cries OF '.Vive le
! Roi, Vive Ia RENE Victoria Vive la Fa-
mile Royale," were heard the whole way through
the town, and the warmth of the cries seemed TO
crafty the roya! party
The court Of the Chateau presented very gay
appearance. On the entrance of the carriage into
the courtyard the cheering and shouting were
tremendous. The Queen and Prince Albert ac-
/ knowledged the compliment by frequently bow
ing. God save the Queen was then struck up
| by tie bands Of all the regiments, and continued
till the whole party entered the Chateau. Imme-
dia1ely afterwards the King Of the French appear
ed on balcony, leading forward Queen Victoria
and Prince Albert, and, presenting her to the
people assembled, called for three cheers, which
which were given with the most unbounded en-
! thusiasm.

were the Earls OF Aberdeen, Delawarr, and Liy-
erpool; Lord and Lady Canning, Lord Adophus
Fitzcarence, Lord Charles Wellesley George
Arson. ESQ, Colonel Wyde, Sir James Clarke,
and the Honorable Miss Lddell, the maid of hon
or in waiting on her Majesty.
THE GRAND BANoUEr.-The scene, | need
hardly say, was very splendid one. When
King of France entertains Queen of England,
whatever of costly or gorgeous can be obtained,
will not be spared, and certainly on this occasion
the magnificent stores of Louis PHILIPPE were put
in requistion The apartment in which the
banquet took place is large and very richly dec

hung round with portraits. set in handsome
frames, and the roof is paneled, richly gilt, and
painted with subjects taken from the history Of
France. The plate, which was all gold or silver
gilt, was of the most splendid description, and IN
the centre was a most magnificent plateau of
gold, with large vases of the same costly mate
rial filled with flowers. The number Of the party
was about forty, and beside the King and Queen
of the French. consisted of the Queen Of Eng

Scbastiani, NJ. Lacave Laplagne, and great

The King of the French appeared to be in ex-

vastly on the occasion. He seems to me to bear
striking resemblance to some Of the later por-
traits of George ". He is a handsome and port

had the Prince de Jonvlc on her right hand, and
