Serene Majesty. Rex Oarnivalis, will be pleased
to hear that the royal mission to CONSTANT
nople has been attended with fattering sue
cess. Although we await his arrival with
impotence, and while the loss of our &C.
customed reyelry last year has only served
to whet the eagerness with which we long to
do our jocund sovereign homage, we can
nevertheless take pride in the reflection that
he has turned aside upon an errand OF
humanity. None other than our own gra-
cious Rex could have accomplished this be-
neicent result Only when the temporal
monarchs of Europe had failed to stay the
spread of rapine and disaster did he inter-
vene. But Herzegovina was bleeding. and
Turkey, irresolute and cruel, knew not. if she
wished to know, how to heal the wounds.
binding crown, and contribute new glory to
his already splendid fame, this triumphant
adjustment Of the Herzegovinian difficulty.
We take personal interest, grateful and
admiring interest in the fact that our Rex has
become the acknowledged arbiter in all great
and inextricable controversies; and we think
with reverent pride that Rex comes to hold
high court in this his loyal city, followed by
the blessings of the world, and leaving behind
him track marked by inestimable benefits
dispensed in largesse to all wac appealed to
his muni6cence.
The Herzegovinian calamity may thus be
regarded as at an end. Turkey has recognized
the justice of Rex's demands, and will now
concede the points for which the heroic in
surgents battled.
We understand, however, that the Royal
progress will not be delayed to await the
grateful demonstration in which the late
combatants are anxious to emulate each other.
Rex finds his reward in the consciousness of
having done q noble and exalted act, and the
royal fleet will, therefore, set sail for Havre at
an early hour. The time occupied in this
Herzagovinian Intervention has necessarily
limited the movements of Rex, and it is prob
able that with the exception of brief STOP
pages at Paris and London, in order to keep
solemn engagements with MacMahon anu
Victoria, he will move directly to his capital.
Some memorable festivities were interchanged
between the flagship of Rex and the British
frigate Scraps, with the Prince of Wales on
board, on the occasion Of their meeting IN the
Suez Canal.
The fact that Rex was accompanied by the
famous Guicowar of Baroda, whose domain
the Prince went to visit, lent additional in
terest to the event, and, indeed, but for the
opposition of his advisers, the Prince would
have relinquished his Indian adventure for
the purpose Of joining Rex.
We have not yet received full list of tie
Asiatic, African and European monarchs and
magnates who, together with their retinues,
attend the King Of the Carnival. Bathurst
has orders to withhold many of their
names for the present lest the
excitement and anxiety should
be too insupportable. Rex's subjects, how.
ever, may be assured that display of wholly
unparalleled splendor will signalizs the
Kings return after an absence of two years,
and that the landing and triumphal march of
the royal pageant will be spectacle never
before ,equaled, if approached within the ex-
perience of the Oldest and most respectable
of men.
We shall soon be able to chronicle the ar
rival of the cortege at Paris, and thencefor-
ward, as the dispatches reach us by the kings
special cable, we shall 10y before his realm
the circumstances and Incidents of Rexs
majestic progress, not forgetting to describe
the preparations for his fitting reception
which are now going forward in every de-
partment of the government with amazing
rapidity. Peace be with you! Rex and
Revelry
