4 CoBURG, August 2l.-Our last account OF the
Queen, LETT nrf Majesty passing through the city of
Frankfort. The Royal cavalcade arrived here on
the I9ih, and the journey Of her Majesty from
Wurizburg here, except that the weather was moi so
propious as could be desired, not the least in
terrstng part OF the royal tour Bamberg, through
which the route lay, iull Of the inhabitants of
The surrounding country who gave the Queen a
hearty reception during the few minutes she remain
ed in the town. The distance from Bamberg to
Coburg, is about 2S miles, through a fertile and
popuous couhry. Alter passing Zapfendorf the
road along the bank on the Mama river pre-
sentms al some points, scenery scarcely inferior to
that on the lhlne-and passes Stahelberg-a hill OF
/ remarkable form and commanding aspect. On the
ptler side OF the road rises a height, on which
stands the Palace IT Prince Maxamillan OF Bava-
/ ia, which was formerly the convent OF Banz. Pass

/ frontier OF Bavaria and the Duchy of Sake Coburg
are soon reached. Here the royal party were met
by the King and Queen of the Belgians who had
\ preceded them 10 Coburg, and now returned hither
with them There was very pretty trlumphal arch
at the boundary and the cortege as il passed on to-
wards Coburg, preceded by the positions (in their
gay and characteristic blue dress and with pumes
OF white feathers in their hats) looked picturesque
enough, and certainly quite different from anything

The reception at Coburg was one of the most
pleasing sights that can be well imagined. AT the
boundary splendid ulumphal arch stretched across
the road, from which hung flags, and every house
IN the long line OF street through which the royal
cortEge passed was gay decorated with garlands,
festoons, flags, and flowers. Better and prettier

The great buildings OF the city were also profusely

with garlands iestoons, and flags;

Rosenau not being sufficiently capacious for all the
/ Royal visitors, its illustrous owner, the Grand
Duke, has taken up his quarters at small place at
short distance from the chateau. The Duchess of
Kent and the Prince of Leiningen are at the Resi-
denz IN the here. King Leopold and his
Queen oscillate between his chateau of Fubbach

t.osenau itself Is the beau-idea Of summer resi-
dence Although built on prlncely scale, II looks
like enormous cottage ornee, embowered In
trees and flowers. The name, Rosenau, " the
meadow Of roses," aptly describes the lovely valley
manded from the windows OF the finest kind.

pecuarity that strikes English mind is the utter
absence OF all ceremonial and exciuslveness There

rous departments, pointed out the most pctu. esque
spots in the grounds, with the chateau the distant
and iir-crowaed hills Her Majesty seems to parti-
cipae in her concerts happiness; for here she
roams about unstared at, unattended, and unpeered
at, by gaping and vulgar curiosity. Not more than
four miles from Rosenau, nearer Coburg, there Is
another summer residence, the palace OF Prince
Ernest of Wurtemburg from which very fine
view obtained OF the vale in which Cobure is STU
ate the spre of the Church Of St. Maurice rising
boldly from the centre of the city. On the opposite
heights is the fortress OF Coburg, which her Majesty
went last evening 10 visit, driving from Rose
nau for the purpose
The population Of Coburg is about 10000. That of
Goha, which is about Is miles from here, Is 1900.
| When her Majesty arrived at Coburg The whole po-
pulatIon turned out 10 meet her. There were dense
masses all along the road between the frontiers and
the town Not only these were there, but also the
people OF the surrounding country, IN a circuit OF
many miles, came in crowds into Coburg Some
came much as twenty German miles, and some
from Leipsc. 1t was stated that there would be at
Cobnrg grand reunion OF Royal personages-that
not fewer than fifteen crowned heads would here
meet Queen Victoria. At present, besides the mem
bers OF the Duca house OF Sake Coburg, there are
only the King and Queen of the Begians, the Ouch
ess OF Kent, and the erlnce of Leningen, the half
brother OF her Majesty Queen Victoria
AUGUST 22.-The Queen and the Royal party as
sembled here at present are living in comparative
retirement There is a complete change IN the ha-
bits of the Court from those TO which they ac-
customed at home. Her Majesty rose at an early
hour this morning. and walked about the grounds
of Rosenau for some time previous to the morning
meal The air soft and bamy, and as the
Queen expressed wish TO breakfast in the open
air. the Royal party partook OF their morning repast
on a terrace, before OF the fronts of Rosenau,
spot which the late Duke always selected for his
evening meal as it commands one of the most beauti-
ful views of the valley After breakfast Her Ma
| lesty walked again in the grounds with Lady Can
nng, who sketched some of the most picturesque
spots in the surrounding scenery, at her MaJestys
desire.
The Duke and Duchess of Sake Coburg Gotha ar
rived at Rosenau IN the course OF the morning from

whole party proceeded 10 Coburg, and alighted at
