society wiose tendencies and objects were notorious . . AH these trablieations were so many implements of waT direelfced against the internal tranquillity of Prance by the enemies of social order , who , strong in the impunity which they enjoyed ; under the shelter of Belgian legislation , cherish the hope'Of succeeding * n their-gtEilty projects . - He protested that the sincere desire of the Emperor was to maintain the best relations with Belgium , and he ^ hastened to add that his Majesty ' Government had every reason to be satisfied with the CaJiinet of BuusSels , which shad done its best to mitigate a state of
things which it .-was not on its poorer to change , because tkfrlawsof : sBelgiam aid , not empower it to check the excesses of ^ thovpress nor to take the initiative of & refon » . which . hatl ; become absolutely indispensable .

The scene from Southsea beach waB magnificent . A violet sky , pure atfd unclouded as that of Italy—a rippling , dimpling , flasMng , sparkling sea—a green , elastic sward of the freshest verdure —< ja ^ zling uniforms , land many-coloured costumes brilliant equipages , music , flags , laurel-wreaths , happy hu man faces , and ' ladies' laughter ringing through the air ' were the accessories of a scene as gay , brilliant , -and animated , as any that , with much experience of popular spectacles , we remember to have ever-witnessed . Nor should we omit to enumerate among the sources of enjoyment the aromatic sea-breeze , that vifet avreparfitm de la of whichAlexandra
mar . Dumas descants so eloquently , and which is so delightfully exhilarating to those-whose fate it . is to be pent up in cities . T « nts and pavilions brightly dotted the gieen turf , . and -waggons , barouches , phaetons , and all manner of things that run an wheels , were drawn to the margin oi the water . Thousands of people sauntered over the sands or lay ou the shingle of the beeci watching through telescopes and opera-glasses tlie movements of the fleet . This multitude extended from Fort Monckton on the west to Souihaea Castle on the east , a distance of three miles ; an&mu 8 t have comprised something like 100 , 000 persons . Near Southsea Castle , a great stand had been erected in the cause of sightseeing ; and it , like other mailer structures of the same description , was cro wded ith Triaifcors .

ME Fj VVAL BEVIEW . BiaTA 3 nsiA had a grand ^ xbibittoni last Wedflesday , of -vvhart she can do on her own favourite element . The 23 rd of April-rSt . George ' Day —has been looied forwai ^ d to ' for several weeks past as tlie great day of the season . Half England has crowded down to Portsmouth , Southsea , . Portsea , ( Tosport , and other adjaceatiports of Hampshire ; ^ Royal ty has come forwa rd specially to . r-nle the waves ; Xords and Commons , forgetting Parliamentary business and fashionable etmui , have jfltttterecl ^ about the gigantic armament , like
the merest satellites of its strength . ; and all the Mrs ; Joneses and IMts . Smiths , who let lodgings in the favoured localities ^ and all the Mr . TBrcmns and Mr , Robinsons who are licensed to ** victqaF man and beast in the same , have maele small extempore fortunes by what are called " fabulous pr ices "—tlie fable being a very ? solid , fiic , t to thoae wb-Q . , had , to pay , the ; amounts claimed . 3 Che : i 6 agbt ¦ was , in , truth , of unparalleled magnificence and grandeur ; j and , -conswlering ; that every Englishman has a natural taste for the sea , a-ad a-nafcivel ) orh love' for' the huge yet graceful evolutions of those floatingca 8 tles which are the most palpable evidences of our might , it ia not to lie wondered at that Wednesday was a great success .
An immense number of visitors arrived at the various towns along the coast on Tuesday , ivhqn the demand for accommodation became so great that three or four guineas were obtained for beds ; and it . is asserted that at « ome . places the lodginghoufie keepers absolutely asked as much as . 15 / . ibr Bleeying nccommodation . Hotels "were gorged till thev overflowed , and the superflux was ebalsen into the streets , "where many persona passed the-night s but all was \ YuHngly bornQ for the sake of what / was to come . 3 Che da ; Wn at length brake , gloriously , , und tliq fair- promise was maintained throughout tlio day , though here in London east winds and tho ghost of a November fog haunted the half-deserted town .
" At eight o ' clock , " $ ay » th © 'Times , '" > tho wholefloet , aa if by msgifl , was ' dressed' in flaga and ¦ cnaigna from thoir i main truclts to the water ' s euifacc ; and now the curtain , eeenaod to-have risen upon tho gloxi-ous ^ pageant of the day . Bat the bualost eight in tho national drama ftboat to bo enacted was that ; Tpresonted « ntl »« land . Tho mymida of human beings who poured on to tho beach from . ' every point a » d outlet wero beyond all precedent , and tho Ixetea'ogoncoua commixture of cUaractor ¦ wioanot t 3 ie leaat Teroarhablo feature of the whole affair . Gradually tho -walla , rampavto , Tavelins , mounde , house tops , and » vcn ^ WuncU- >» toeploB . entered into bold
comaccomTnodation of her Majesty ' s faithful Lords and Commons , whereat they grumbled loudly , and witli some reason , considering that they had to wait at Southampton for more than an hour for further . arrivals . from London before they could foie , conveyed on board sujp to the scene of the review—a delay which prevented their . beholding some of the most interesting portions of the eeremony ; but for the most part the day ' s business seems to have gon « 3 off well . " It was not till a "few - minutes after twelve , '" -writes one of tho Daily ffewse reporters , *• that the Royal yacht , preceded by tho Black Eaglo , and followed by tho Elfin and Fairy , carne out of Portsmouth harbour , and rapidly
traversed the channel , parallel to Southsea beach . As this occurred unexpectedly , the whole multitude on shore started -up , moved by one impulse , and gazed earnestly on tlie aftor-deck of tho Victoria and Albert , where her Majesty , with tho Prince Consort , and Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons , wore immediately recognised . In le 3 B than ten minutes , tl » e Queen had passed round tho Spit Buoy , and got into the Toads . Then from tho broadside of "the tiufco of "Wellington poured forth a oloud of white smalte , and loudly pealed out the notes of loyal salutation , repeated by every otl » or ship along either lino , like inxinmorablo echoos from shore to shore of the " straits , and tho fleecy masses of vapour rolled
together , so as foT a for minuteB to conceal the floot from sight . When tho scone cleare < 3 | tho xoynl squadron had turned towards the north-west , and was swiftly crossing tho buy to GilUdclwr Point , bekind which It was presently hidden . For about half an hour , thoso on ohoro -wore dejrivod of the eight of it .
