and received her with open arms, 
In her own place of residence the 
princess wept most bitterly. She 
has since paid a visit to the arch- 
duchess Christine, who is. indis- 
posed. A grand and brilliant court- 
day is expected to-morrow, which 
will be the first day on which her 
Imperial majesty will make her 
public appearance after her lying- 
in, It is expected also that the 
French princess royal will be intro- 
duced, with proper ceremony, to the 
higher class of the nobility and fo- 
reign ambassadors. Countess Chan- 
cles, formerly governess to the arch- 
duchess Elizabeth, first consort of 
the emperor, has been appointed to 
_ the same dignity with the French 
princess royal. Prince Gavre is ap- 
ointed governor to her royal bigh- 
ness. The only article preserved 
by the French princess, from the 
effects which were put into her 
Carriage at Paris, is said to be a 
small parcel, which, besides a small 
quantity of ‘linen, contained three 
miniature piétures, and some hair of 
her father, mother, and the prin- 
cess Elizabeth her aunt ; also a pair 
of garters knit by her late unfortu- 
nate mother, out of the threads of 
an old piece of tapestry which she 
found in her prison. 
18th When the royal standard 
~ "was flying at the Tower, being 
the queen’s birth-day, a tricoloured 
silk flag, three yards wide and of 
length in proportion, was hoisted 
over the rampart on a staff of seven 
feet long, and continued hoisted for 
three hours before it was discovered 
in the garrison. On the discovery, 
the major of the Tower, colonel 
Smith, went himself to strike it, 
when making into a wrong part, it 
disappeared before he reached the 
Spot, but was traced into the de- 
NI CiL E. [3 
puty chaplain’s house, and found 
stripped from the staff, under his 
son’s bed, a young man of 15, at 
present a pupil in a public school. 
20th Portsmouth. In conse- 
“~""* quence of a dreadful gale of 
wind, a great number of ships at 
Spithead were this day obliged to 
cut their cables, and run for the 
harbour, several of which got foul 
of each other. Signals of distress 
were seen flying on board many 
vessels, but the weather was so ex- 
tremely bad as to prevent any boats 
going to their assistance. A man of 
war’s boat was driven out of the hat- 
bour with the tide this afternoon, and 
overset near South-Sea Beach; the 
whole of the crew got safe on shore 
eXcept one man, who was unfortu- 
nately drowned. The tide was many 
feet higher this day than has been 
known for upwards of 30 years ; se- 
veral houses on the point having 
béen washed down, and a number 
of people removed their goods up 
into the town; for if the wind 
had not abated, the tide would 
have been full as high in the morn- 
ing, and many more houses conse- 
quently damaged.
