Victoria, sitter ru. ming tho Ighthe 'ros:snms
at first la down tor heI aud pabithsd in The
Morning Post, left Paris fOr the Isle CT Wight
st poon on Monday last. The OILY notable de-
viation. rom the Lond ID programme we're 10
visit of Prince Albert and the Emperor TO Va
| cennes on Friday, snd the grand bali st Yer
sailes on Saturday. The dePsr ure o. MoldiJ
was IN many respects more brilliant saAn the
enrfe. The cor,ege was much inner, AID was
certainly ,he most dazzling Affair Of the kid
which ,be present Emperor has yet attempted.
Ten new carriages, made for The OCCASION, had
just arrived from the imperial workshops; the
| CO nj. garc es, the guides, the c'raoiniers, AID
cuirs,siers of the Imperial Gl.rd VINO HeIe in
| az endsnre we're the elite Of those corps, and
appeared in grande tnue, snd aev dresses. The
how was superb.y imperial and NapoleOnit.
The usual crowd garnisbsd the Bo1se7art'.
| All the lags, ard one triumpbal arch, and che
skeleton of another, remained yet N their
places; and her Majesty passed th-oogh tie zines
with tsat same see-saw saiusatory mo ion with
which the greeted the French public On her
entrance. And thus the pine days wonder has
passed away Everybody (but the hotel and shop
Keepers rejoiced that the royal party had gone;
for fince their arrival the inconveDiencies of life
| in Paris had augmented to degree TO which the
| ParisiaDs had previously been strangers. The
price of lodgings and of provisions had suddenly
run up to price which actually frightened and
nearly starved the old citizens; carriages could
never be found when wanted; and the streets
were so crowded with gawking strangers that
hurried walk was out of the question. We now
begin to breathe free again, and hope that We shall
soon be freed from the foreign invasion.

SO far as the public aware, to mar the harmony
of the event The weather was highly favorable
throughout and the series Of fetes and the mag
nifcences of the French capital which were shown
to her Majesty must have deeply impressed her,
for she can see nothing at home at all comparable.
1t is said, indeed by those who profess to have
opportunities of knowing the truth, that her
Majesty was so impressed with the grandeur OF the
French capital the bfilliancy Of the fetes offered
her. the warmth with which the people every
where recey ed her, and the beauty OF the climate,
that on her return from the days visiting to the
palace of st. Cloud she manifested an amount oil
enthusiasm which was quite unqueenly and IN
britannia. On one occasion her emotion was so
great as to carry her into state of exaltation IN
which she is said to have uttered words which
certainly would not have sounded patriotic in the
royal speech before the British Parliament. 10
those who know what the Imperial fetes oil rance
aIe ana the new beauties which have been brought
city, these emotions of the British Queen will not
be astonishing If Victoria received Napoleon at
London only upon cOmpulsiOn az sacrifice to
the interests of the alliance, and returned bis visit
in the same way, there is every reason to believe
that before she left Paris she changed her mind In
the matter and that she to treat the parreau
as her equal and as worthy of all her Royal atten
tons. Napoleon was, in fact determined that her
visit should have this result AS an officer Of the
Exhibition your correspondent had the privilege,
in company with bis colleagues Of receiving and
conducting through the Exhibition on three several
occasions the Roy al and Imperial parties, and had
thus better opportunity than could be found on
fete occasions ~ observe closely the entente which
existed between their Msjesties. The constant
gayety of the Queen and Emperor, and the cordial
and frank sincerity which appeared to characterize
their intercourse, told plainly enough that the a.
lance between the two Chiefs OF State was no
longer one of political interest alone, but that
personal friendship and the equality which ought
to reign between two great allied sovereigns en-
tered largely into the compact. There lie no ques
ton whatever that the Queen left with much
higher option of Napoleon than she had when she
arrived and that the interests of the alliance have
been enormously subserved by the visit.
The Queens visit 10 the American Department
of the Exhibition was confined u q hasty walk
through one of the aisles, with glance at the
vulcsnized india rubber, the Congress weights and
measures, and Murrays navigation charts Her
Majesty made but few purchases in the Exhb-
ton. She left however, $1,000 francs for the poor
of Paris, and her name 10 be given 10 new
avenue.
The Queens visit to the tomb of Napoleon, an
event which has been the instgatOr of all sorts of
emotions in the French breast, and of various lead
ers in large characters in the Government Jour
nails, was not TO the Queen such an affair as has
been made oft Certainly her Majesty would not
like TO leave Paris without looking at this chef
dGurre of mOrtusry architecture, matter whose
remains it contained And since Napoleon was
never an enemy of hers, and since the two coun.
tries are now united BY close and lasting alliance,
where was the occasion for extraordinary emo
ions On the part of her Majesty, Of the friends
of the dead Emperor The sttemp. TO convert
her Majesty's visit to the Inyalides into "pI-
"grim0ge to the shrine Of the great enemy Of her
country, is absurd She went there a mark |
OF respect TO the present Chief of State and out of
natural curo,lty 10 see the resting OF tho
great man, and tho beauties of art with which ho
was surrounded. But the greacat ab.uriiy of |
