Reception Of n King.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, writing under date Of Friday evening,
November o. gives a long description of the
arrival and grand reception at Paris on that
day Of the King Of Sardinia. From an early
hour in the morning n considerable portion of
the population Of Paris thronged towards the
terminus Of the Lyons railroad to receive and
welcome with their acclamations Victor Eman-
uel. A great many houses on the Boulevards,
the clubs and theatres, were from an early
hour decorated with flags, displaying the ma
tional colors Of France, England, and Sar-
dina, and Turkey. The rue de Ricote the
place Of the Hotel de Vile, and the quays in
fact the entire line along which the King was
to pass, were similarly adorned, as also the
facade of the station and the large court yard.
a canopy of crimson velvet, fringed with gold,
hung over the door of the waiting.room, which
had been transformed into splendid saloon,
hung with red velvet, fastened up with gold.
Clusters Of flags belonging to the allied nations
with the name of Victor Emanuel, and the
shields with his royal arms completed the orna-
ments A rich carpet extended from the door
to the pathway, on which the King was to step
from the carriage, and galleries to the right
and left had been prepared for those who were
specially invited.
On the arrival Of the royal train at the sta
ton, the King was received by Prince Napo-
leon with great cordiality, and replied to the
words of welcome of the Prince. The Prince
and his majesty then entered state carriage,
and the cortege proceeded to the Palace of the
