"At Paris, from the Station to st. Cl0ud these
feelings were manifested in the strongest manner:

that the enthusiasm was quite great a. that
which greeted the Emperor and Empress on their
arrival in London.
"The same cordial welcome has been given TO
the Queen at the various places where her Msiesy
