THE Kl S VISIT TO THE CO,VIINENr. RASISOATII. Seer. e 6 —Yesterday the town was in a continual bustle. The streets were decorated with arches farmed of boughs, and ornamented with a variety of variegated lamps, which, when lighted, presented a grand and curious effict. His Majesty arrived at about eight its the evening at Sir W.Curtis's mansion, from whence he departed this morning (Tuesday) at eleven o'clock.— The King embarked in the harbour on board his barge, and was rowed to the royal yacht in the roads, amidst the cheers of an immense concourse of persons, both on sea and land. The Velars, Margate steam yacht, preceded his Ma jesty with 1116 suite and luggage. The Hero end Env. neer, steam packets, arrived here early this morning, for the purpose of conveying passengers to the Continent.— They had scarcely cleared Ramsgate Pier, when an offi cer arrived from his Majesty's yacht, on board the Hero; they had permission to accompany the King to Calais, for the purpose of towing the Royal Sovereign up the harbour, if necessary. The proprietors having made the offer of their vessel for that purpose, smite difficulty arose as to the debark ation of passengers, the vessel being a considerable dis tance in the roads. The Engineer was then hailed, and those flute vessels being laid alottgaide each other, the Hero emptied its live stock into the Engineer, and i cccc netli ately joined company with the royal yacht; many were the contentions oil hoard the Hero before the passengers wool(' quit the vessel, each anxious to tread the same plank with their Nina. II a fine day and fair wind, with the splendid display of innumerable vessels, both in the harbour and in the Downs, literally covered with the flags of every nation ; the guns saluting from every point on shore, and the zealous cheering of the populace. could produce an effect grateful to the human heart, we this day witnessed it. CALAIS, SEPT. 26.—Centuries may elapse before a spectacle of such interest recurs as that with which we were yesterday gratified—the King of Great Britain landed in amity on the shores of France. Although his ?Majesty derired, as much as possible, to avoid the pa rade of regal splendour, yet the feeling' of the French nation were displayed in a manner honourable to our selmes, and gratifying to our monarch, and, of course, to all his buy sat jet-is. The royal yacht, accompanied by different vessels of the squadron, and two steam-packets, arrived its the roads of Galata about four o'clock ; but there not being suffi cient water in the harbour to permit the entrance of large vessels, his (Majesty came oat shore in one of the pilot boats, attended by different persona of his suite. On his landing he saluted the multitude of persons, French and English, assembled to witness his arrival, with that pe culiar grace and affability for which he is justly prover. bial, and which were never displayed to greater advan nee titan on this interesting occasion. After walking same distance on the pier, he ascended his carriage, which had been some time in waiting fur him, and pro ceeded at a slow pace (by his own express orders) to D..ssitt's hotel. The streets in the course of his progress had been previously covered with fine sand, and the whole way was lined with the military (the Oil re,iineiii), one of the fittest in the French service, commanded by the Doke de Ceres, who of course presented arms, and showed his Majesty every mark of respect.) The King appeared delighted ss ith hit reception ; and the number of his subjects who greeted hint in a foreign laud with the most unequivocal marks of loyalty, could not fail to heighten the pleasure which he seemed to experience.-- In the evening at eight o'clock, his Majesty en ered the theatre, and short as was the notice, much praise is due to the manager for the arrangements he had made, The Laken was really most taatetully decanted with mir rors, lustres, Sec, ; the exterior ornamented with elenant drapery. Ibis Majesty sat in the centre, in front of the box. On his left was the French General, die Marquis de Joinillac, in full costume i and no his right, the ve nerable Duke de Chartre. On the King's elution:a the whole house rose simultaneously, and the orchestra stuck up our national anthem, s' God save the King," which was admirably performed, and the words sting enthusiasiically by the whole audience, both French and English. Shouts of applause followed, sod a universal more rang through the house. Ibis Majesty, however, who was evidently most sensibly affected by the feelings evince', towards him its a foreign land, motioned that be wished to decline its repetition, The audience un derstood hint, and after atiothar hearty congratulation, they took their seats, and the performance proceeded...it was admirable; the dresses were beautiful, and appeared to be all new. The King was delighted and astonished to find such excellent performance in si small town like Calais J it is unnecessary to say the house was crowded to excess. Oil retiring, his Majesty gracefully saluted the audience, amid left the house universally applauded. ANOTIM( ACCOUNT. At 3 o'clock the royal yacht came to anchor its our road., and in half an hour after his Majesty landed from tLpilot boat in the harbour, and was received by the Mayor, Prefect, Monsieur Le Marquis Juutillac, Le Due de flranoas, and Le Due do la Chartre, who con ducted his Maj e sty to hi s Carr i ag e. which was wa i t i ng his arrival on the (Ivey twat the column.

At the present time that gay city is thronged with them. Whether the public buildings and palaces, the walk., the theatres, or the galleries, are visited, there are to be met numerous parties of English. The Parisians say—since the Chambers are closed—but for "Milord Anglais" Paris would be empty. Some may censure our countrymen for visiting this capital, as being an unpatriotic act; and others may con demn it as injustice, in spending English money in foreign countries:—we are not disposed to ap plaud the feelings of those who can take up their residence there, expending capital acquired through the means of England :—but the fascinations of that city certainly affosl strong temptation. In their public displays—and let it be remembered that all are under the management of Government—they study public effect: hence their fine palaces, gardens, public buildings, asa but in England this can never be the case, because such strength awl encouragement are given to individual exertion. —Many public works, as they might well be called, are carried on by private individuals, or by companies in England; but in France it is the Government that accomplishes most of what is realised. And all their public works are kept up with so much particularity and care, that they are always pleasing to the eye; while the amplest faci.. lities are afforded to those who wish to visit then.. —To such an extent is this attention carried, that foreigners, on presenting their passports, frequently obtain advantages that are denied to the natives, except they possess and present special orient.— And are not the French Government right in all this? Let it be recollected, the thousands and tens of thousands that are thereby brought to Paris, that would otherwise stay at home, by making it worth seeing; and let it be remembered how much might be done in the way of improvement, in increasing the facilities for foreigners to see the curiosities, ex celleucies, and peculiarities of England, especially of London. In France they have some things to correct. before the comforts of the foreigner visiting Paris will be quite so easy as it is represented that they are. The system of passports is troublesome to strangers, by the various forms that are rquired to be gone through; and vexatious, inasmuch as it is represented that they are granted is, whereas at Calais there is an espence of 2 francs, and at the Rue de Bac, Paris, tea francs. ' his is an enor mous tax, and it is the more unpleasant as it is not an avowed one. But if they please, they are at liberty to treble the amount ; we shall not complain of it, only let the prices be known—it is the more fair way of dealing. Military Flogging.--A Stamford Paper says— " The second division of the 66th regiment of foot marched out of this place last Saturday morning, on their route for Hull. Between . the villages of Rs-- hall and Essendine, about an hour's march hence, they were drawn up in a field by the road-side, and one of the soldiers, for what offence we know note was tied to the halberts, and received 230 lashes, According to the testimony of an eye-witness, the poor fellow groaned much, and appeared to swoon when cut down. He was afterwards put into one of the baggage waggons on the line of march. We did hope that the system of flogging soldiers was abolished, and that no corps under his Britannic Majesty now tolerated a cruel mode of punishment, %Ouch, according to almost every writer on the sub. jeet—men of experience as well as theorists—defeats its own object." Slag:der en (sourer/a —A female, aged upwards of seventy years, had resided fur a considetable time in a small house, at Cambridge-heath, Mockery-road. She kept me servant, .socrat,d with none of her neighbours, and the only mutate W.ls a favourite cat. Her doors and windows were constantly kept secured ; and the signal of the titilk-man, or any one applying fur admission, was, throwing a smite agahnt the door or window. A neighbour's daughter was in the habit of going every muriiing to procure her water; but out Mueilay. after repeated she could set no entrance.

An important question relating to duels was tried on the 23r1 inst. before the Court of C ssalion. The deci sion was, that homicide in single errnibat, according to rules fairly observed, is not cogniz.rb!e tinder the penal code. Art racer on half-pay, and an inspector of contri butions, the first named Prime, an the other Dania tic, fought a duel with pistols, at the short distance of six feet. The Sieur Datualic tell in the conflict. The survivor was tried before the Cour Roya'e of Pall. which saw the affair in nu other shape than that of a common duel, and set the accused at Itheriy. Upon a re-hearing, at the suit of the Procureur General, the Court of Causation annulled the decision, arid sent the case before the Royal Court of Lemo A es, which decided that the duel had all the character of a murder.—The accused was then indicted before the Court of Assizes. The Procureur General of Lentos/es contended that it was nut murder, and the Supreme Court was finally occupied with the affair on the 23,1. After hearing the arguments of counsel, the Court pronounced judgment iti these terms :—" We under stand by the proceedings that a combat, at the distance of six feet, took place between the parties, and that the distance was such that death was inevitable for one or the other. After drawing lots for the first fire, and that question had heen decided, the seconds made representations to the combatants to ins uce them to ex tend the distance. Prince particularly refused, and insisted that the combat should take place, at the distance of six feet. That circumstance, it is said, took the affair front the class of common duels, but we are not able to find any law which renders the accused liable to be tried before the Court of Assizes. The Conn therefore rejects the prosecution of the Procureur General." A TABLE SHEWING THE COMPARATIVE PRICE OF WHEAT, FLOUR, AND BREAD.
