. Hatton Garden, London.— 

 Portsmouth , April 4, 1844. Ge vtle- 



I hearty greeting which welcomed His Majesty at every 

 stage of his progress, and supplies abundant proof that the 

 cordiality of his welcome was not confined to the official 

 authorities of Portsmouth or the courtly circles of 

 Windsor. The King left these shores amidst such 

 manifestations from the inhabitants of Dover as must 

 have convinced him that his visit was regarded as a 

 national event, and that he carried with him the cordial 

 good wishes of all classes in this country. The Paris 

 Opposition Papers, however, still adopt the same un- 

 worthy vituperation of Great Britain, and the same strain 

 of hostility towards their Sovereign, in which they have so 

 long indulged. The proceedings at Windsor are perverted 

 to suit their purpose, and the tact which the Queen had 

 shown to avoid the slightest occasion to awaken in the 

 mind of the King or his officers any reminiscence of our 

 past disputes with France is so far forgotten, that an 

 imaginary Banquet in the Waterloo Chamber is gravely 

 put forth as another insult to the French people. The 

 Ministerial Papers protest earnestly against this perver- 

 sion of facts : they state with truth that no banquet has 

 been given in the Waterloo Chamber during the Kind's 

 visit, and express in courteous terms their gratitude to 

 the Queen for her splendid hospitalities, and for those 

 really royal attentions in which, as they say, the delicacy 

 and grace of the female character vied with the dignity and 

 nobility of the Sovereign of a great nation. They regard 

 the welcome of the English people, and especially the un- 

 precedented compliment paid to the King by the Cor- 

 poration of the city of London, as events of exciting 

 interest, and of a political importance which cannot be 

 mistaken ; and they express their belief that " France- 

 liberal, enlightened, and emancipated France— will see 

 with pride the marks of respect bestowed on her Sove- 

 reign by the citizens who enjoy the highest degree of 

 liberty in the world, and will respond with profound 

 sympathy to the affectionate and noble sentiments which 

 have been expressed for the French people as well as for 

 their King."— From Spain we learn that the Cortes 

 were opened on the 10th inst. by the Queen in person. 

 The speech from the throne is confined chiefly to diplo- 

 matic and financial matters ; and although unusually 

 long, it contains few topics which would interest our 

 readers beyond the compliment paid to our Government 

 for effecting a termination of the disputes with Morocco, 

 and the announcement of a constitutional reform, as one 

 of the first measures of the Session. 



At home there are few topics of political interest to 

 call for notice beyond the rumour that M. Guizot has 

 availed himself of the King's visit to obtain a modifica- 

 tion of the right of search, and that Sir R. Feel has

Visit of the King of the French. — Our ac- 

 count of the King's visit iu our last Number was com- 

 plete to Thursday night. On Friday morning His 

 Majesty, surrounded by his whole suite, received an 

 Address from the Mayor and Corporation of Windsor, 

 and returned the following remarkable reply : — 



•' Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of 

 Windsor— I feel most grateful to Her Majesty Queen Victoria 

 for having permitted you to present this address to me. I re- 

 ceive it with the most cordial thanks, impressed with the kind 

 reception I have met with from all classes of Her Majesty's 

 subjects since my arrival in this country. I was most happy 

 last year to perceive the sentiments of the French people, when 

 Her Majesty favoured me with a visit at Eu. I was most happv- 

 to entertain Her Majesty under my own roof on that occasion, 

 and rejoiced at the interchange of social feelings which then 

 took place. The union of France and England is of great im- 

 portance to both nations, not from any wish of aggrandisement, *«.'/ ■ n ««««« ■» .-, w~— « / , *.««»« 

 however. Our view should be peacb, while we leave every many tokens of friendship which I hi 

 other country in the possession of those blessings which it has gracious Sovereign. I thank you most 



pleased Divine Providence to bestow on them. Happy I am ' "' " J " ' " '" 



that you appreciate my constant endeavours, assisted by a wise 

 Government at home, to promote the most friendly and peace- 

 ful relations between the two countries. France has nothing to 

 ask of England, and England has nothing to ask of France, but 

 cordial anion. I thank you for this very kind address, and I 

 consider it a privilege that I have had tlie good fortune to ex- 

 press before you the sentiments with which my heart is filled." 



This reply was spoken "by His Majesty with marked 

 emphasis and feeling, particularly when alluding to the 

 advantage of maintaining peace between the two countries. 



Castle, visited the new gardens at Frogmore innng the 

 morning, and inspected, among other objects, the magni- 

 ficent pinery recently erected. The royal partr returned 

 by the road, and were enthusiastically cheered as they 

 entered the Lodge-gates. In the afternoon the Qtoea 

 held a chapter of the Order of the Garter, to invest 

 King Louis- Philippe with the insignia of the Order. 

 The Knights present were, Prince Albert, the 

 Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Rutland, Duke of 

 Wellington, Marquis of Anglesey, Duke of De- 

 vonshire, Marquis of Exeter, Duke of Buccleuch, 

 Marquis of Lansdowne. Marquis of Westminster, Duke 

 of Beaufort, Duke of Buckingham, and the Marquis of 

 Salisbury. The usual forms having been gone through, 

 the King of the French was conducted to the Chapter 

 Room by Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, 

 preceded by Garter King-at-Arms. His Majesty was 

 received by the Queen and the knights standing, nnd 

 was seated in a chair of state on the right hand of Her 

 Majesty. The Queen then announced to His Majesty 

 that he had been elected a knight of the Most Noble 

 Order of the Garter. Garter, kneeling, presented the 

 irarter to the Sovereign, and Her Majesty, assisted bv 

 Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, buckled it on. 

 the left leg of the King, the Bishop of Oxford, as Chan- 

 cellor, pronouncing the admonition. Gart.r next pre- 

 sented, in like manner, the riband with the George, arrd 

 the Queen, assisted as before, put the same over the left 

 shoulder of the King, the Chancellor pronouncing the 

 admonition. Her Majesty thereupon gave the accollade 

 to the King of the French, and His Majesty received the 

 congratulations of each of the Knights present, passing 

 round the table and shaking hands with each. The 

 whole of His Majesty's suite were present at the cere- 

 mony, with the Queen's suite and the principal officers 

 of state. All the Knights were in Military costume, 

 either in the uniform of their respective regiments or as 

 Lords Lieutenant of counties, and in addition wore the 

 magnificent robes and insignia of the Order. The 

 jewellery worn by the Marquis of Westminster was of 

 the most superb character. Jn the centre of his Lord- 

 ship's badge was the celebrated Arcot diamond, valued at 

 15,000 guineas, and his Lordship's sword also displayed 

 a massive diamond, one of the largest in the world, 

 weighing 96 carats, and valued at 20,000/. The King 

 was dressed in a uniform of dark blue, with gold 

 epaulettes and appointments. The Queen appeared in 

 the Mantle of the Order of the Garter, wearing the motto, 

 " Honi soit qui mal y pcuse," as a bracelet. Her Ma- 

 jesty also wore her diamond tiara. A banquet in honour 

 of the occasion was given by the Queen, in St. George's 

 Hall, in the evening. Tne entertainment was served 

 with unusual splendour, to upwards of 100 guests, in- 

 cluding all the Knights of the Garter who had assisted 

 at the investiture, together with the royal visitors, the 

 officers of the Order of the Garter, and a large party of 

 the nobility and gentry, including several Cabinet Mi- 

 nisters. On Saturday morning, the Due de Monfpensier 

 left Windsor by the "Great Western Railway for Wool- 

 wich, and minutely examined the several departments of 

 the Royal Arsenal, returning to the Castle in the after- 

 noon. In the course of the morning, a deputation of 

 the French Benevolent Society, headed by M. Durand 

 St. Andre, French Consul-General, had an audience of 

 His Majesty ; after which, the King received the Lord 

 Mayor and Corporation of London, who presented an 

 address of congratulation. The Lord Mayor, sheriffs, 

 and aldermen, appeared in state for the occasion, and the 

 King was attended by all his suite in full uniform. The 

 Recorder having read the address, His Majesty replied 

 as follows : — 



"My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of 

 London.— 1 receive with heartfelt satisfaction the address of 

 congratulation which you have just presented to me by the 

 gracious authorisation of your beloved Sovereign. In coining: 

 to offer to the Queen of these realms a proof of the sincere and 

 unalterable friendship I bear to Her Majesty, I am happy to 

 find that the City of London— that illustrious city which holds so 

 prominent a place in the world, and which represents interests 

 of such magnitude — is coming to this royal residence to 

 manifest to me sentiments so perfectly congenial to my own 

 feelings and to the sense I entertain of my duty towards my 

 country, towards Europe, and towards mankind. I am con- 

 vinced, as you are, that peace and friendly relations between 

 France and England, are for two nations made to esteem and 

 honour each other, a source of innumerable and equal advan- 

 tages. The preservation of that good understanding is at the 

 same time a pledge of peace to the world at large, and secures 

 the tranquil and regular process of civilisation ioi the benefit 

 of all nations. I consider my co-operation in this holy work, 

 under the protection of Divine Providence, as the mission and 

 honour of my reign. Such has been the aim and the object of 

 all my eff.irts, and I trust that the Almighty will crown them 

 with success. I thank you in the name of France and in my 

 own, for this manifestation of your sentiments. They will be 

 fully appreciated in my country, coupled as they are with the 



.. »-w-_. „t r..; ..H«,i,;.. .-w;„u i nave rece j vefl - f rom your 



»st cordially for your kind 



feelings towards myself and my family. The impression pro- 

 duced upon me by the presentation of your address will never 

 be effaced from my heart." 



His Majesty afterwards passed round the circle formed 

 by the deputation ; the Lord Mayor presenting all the 

 aldermen individually to the King. The King shook 

 hands cordially with the Lord Mayor. "I well remember 

 your father, Mr. Magnay/' said His Majesty. M I had 

 the happiness of seeing him in the Egyptian Hall of the 

 Mansion House, when he filled the high situation which

 tive artists engaged in making copies of some of the ce- — * * u - '-- ' '• ■ .... • »» 



lebrated pictures in Her Majesty's gallery at Windsor. 

 These gentlemen, during the King's visit, have been em- 

 ployed in taking sketches of the most interesting scenes 

 passing within the Castle. One artist was busy on Friday 

 in sketching the scene just described, from an adjoining 

 corridor. His Majesty, with the Queen and Prince Albert, 

 accompanied by a large number of the guests in the 



and the hospitable manner in which he received me. 

 The Lord Mayor, in acknowledging the compliment with 

 which His Majesty honoured him, said he hoped His 

 Majesty would be graciously pleased to visit the citizens 

 of London, either at the Mansion House or at Guildhall, 

 before his departure. " I assure you," replied the King, 

 " that if I had time, etiquette should not interfere with 

 my hearty wish, but my time is limited. I should wish
