It was reserved fir Wednesday to strew one under circuinstances of greater glory to her, than if he had come a captive,—a Monarch of France returning in triumph to his own land, after being sheltered by Bri tigh fortitude, and restored by British sacrifices fur the peace of the world. The spirit that led ont the thauggnds and t.ms of Illorlands w!lieh crowded from her gates was scarcely c.urio,ity ;—it might well be thought something inure noble ; and the joy and animation of the hour flowed from sources which had but slight connection with the commo feelings of viil4-.lr timer. It was the joy of a victory,—not bloi 4, anti shaded with deep regrets for the blood that it had shed, —it was the pride of no stained and perishing laurel,--it bore the stronger (bar meter of a lofty and solemn rejoicing for the close of that battle after which the sword was to be drawn no more ; tie great consummation and reward of that strtic,..!glc which she had stet taiocd through " rood report and evil report," and in which a power more than of man seemed at length to interpose and lead het to the summit of earthly glory.

The Duchess of Oldenburg sent invitations to the Queen, and the PrUice.ees Elizabeth, Mary, Charlotte of Wales and Sophia of Glo fetter, to conie to Pniteney Hotel, to see the Royal procession : they all went except her Majesty : and there the Royal party were also joined by the Russian Ambassador, the Countess Lieven, Gen. Taikescolf, the Baron Nicolai, ttc. The Marquis of Abercorn had invited the Prince Regent and the King of France to his mansion, the Prtory near Stanniore, which in vitation was, however, declined. ' The Prince Rages's arrived at the Abercorn Arms lan, at Mau- ' 2G9 more, about two o'clock, from whence the procession was to r m. ceed. The town of Stanmore exhibited the most novel sight: there was hardly a lonise that did Ant display tokeus of respect, by means of flags, ribbands, &e. Nil:rib:Ts of the Nobility and Gentry of that part of the country, and in fact every person who could procure a horse, went a mile out of the town to accompany the King of France into Stanmore ; and vile!' his Majesty had got within a short dis tance, the populace, who had become extremely nemerons, took the horses from his carriage and drew him into the village. The Prince Regret was at the door of the inn in readiness to receive his Majes. ty, which his Royal Highness did according to the custom of the French nation try embracing him ; they conversed in the French language. The King was dressed in blue and geld, resembling the Windsor uniform. 'l'lre Prince Regent was in full regimentals, with. hi 3 Russian and Englidi orders.

A nnmerons party of the Rosed Horse Gnards. • Six Royal Carriages, the .t.!rvants with white cockades; an outrider to each carriage. A party of the Royal Horse Guards. Lastly came the State Carriage, in which were the King of France, the Pr'nee Regent, the Duchess Dc Anytime, the Prince De Conde, the Duke 1)c Bourbon ' and surmounted by the Royal Standard of England. An officer of the Royal Horse Guards rode at each window, and n numerous party of horse closed the procession. Though, from sonic changes in the atraugements, it became generally known in the morning, that the train could not reach 1 town till between five anti six o'clock, such was the impatience of the multitude, that the principle avenuea were crowded from noon. But this multitude was taut the mere populace ; persons of the firs; distinction lined the road with their equipages ; and perhaps not the least delighttid and admirable part ofthe day's exhibition was tat' be fbund among the spectators. The day was fine, a temperate sun, a summer air, a sky alinost without a cloud : wherever the eye I ;alteed it fell on splendour and hcaity, attitudes and countenances 1 of rank ed and joy. From Albemarle-street tc the Park wit: al most one mass of cart iages, with females of the first fashion • tam!. ' jug on the seats. Every balcony and window in that stately range of buildings was full, waving with the Boerbou flag or wreathe 4 with white. About one o'clock a troop of the Lite Guards took their stand opposite-Pultnev Hotel, with the baud of the reginteuti. ' This spot attracted an unusual concourse. From noon the gates of the park had been, by a very proper pre caution, shut to carriages, and the people had room to wander with out fear. The road to Cumberland ga - te-was thick set on both sidee with every rank and age. Park-lane was equally fail, mid donble and triple lines of carriages were drawn up whOrever the inenvals is 1 ' the railing admitted a view. The pressure at Cimilealined-g.ce was excessive, however obviated by the patroles of peace offieeri. which were on duty-there as at all the other gates. ' It would 100% like exaegeration to attempt to calculate the numbers that formed the cordon down the Paddington and Edgware roads : but the num ber was, even less astonishing, than the decency, the harmless wel well ordered eteltatiou, the evidence of wealth, and the native ibeauty. . About four miles from Own the precession met the line of veld ! des which preserved even so far a warty unbroken continuity. iThe villas on each side were decorated, scaffoldings raised, and even the trees hung with the flag of the lilies. As it advanced. couriers were dispatched to amemice its approach. At half-past. five it entered the Park by Cumbarlatal-gate. On its opening out into Piccadilly - the whole view was eminently striking. From the ascent near tite. Green Park the total pump lay under the eye ; ' and the combination of military splendour, stately movement, and countless multitude, gave a coup d'teil of unrivalled richness, in terest, and variety. A troop of gentlemen on horseback, with white cockades, led tho way. The carriages followed, escorted by detachments of the Life Guards. A strong body of the 14th Light Dragoons and London Volunteer Horse brought up the rear. The ceremonial moved slowly on, impeded by the eagerness of the mill i titede ; and when it at last conveyed the Monarch to his home t I the about was " Loud as from numbers without number ; " Rich, as from blest voices tat teringjoy." When his Majesty entered Grillon's Hotel, in Albemarle-street. he had hold of the rrhee's arm, w h o conducted him to the prie , cipai apartment prepared for the French Monarch, /Jews delis boa% embroidered in gold upon haugings of efiLUNIU velvet.
