HISTORICAL CHRONICLE.

FRANCE.

FOREIGN NEW S.

A royal ordonnance, dated from Eu, remits the remainder of the punishment of all the political prisoners in France who were condemned before the commencement of the present year, and whose imprisonment would not have terminated in due course before the first of January, 1847. The same act of clemency is also extended to twelve political prisoners, who had been condemned to various terms of imprisonment of from six to twenty years, making the whole number thus favoured nearly sixty.

SWEDEN.

Nearly all the Swedish provinces have suffered severely from inundations, but in the greatest degree the country bordering on the river Roeyo, which rose 13 feet in less than an hour, rushing in torrents upon the large village of Konradsfont and its environs, which were quickly submerged; sweeping away all the houses and factories, and 22 windmills, and, in fact, leaving nothing but a mass of ruins. About 500 persons are said to have perished, and the loss of property is estimated at 800,000 rix-dollars.

INDIA.

Sir Henry Hardinge arrived at Calcutta on the 23d of July, and was immediately sworn into office. On the next and subsequent days he held levees and durbars. Prior to his departure, Lord Ellenborough was entertained publicly by the officers of the army at Culcutta. He

embarked on the 1st of August on board the steamer Tenasserim, and immediately started for Suez; and is since arrived in this country, and been advanced to an earldom. A mutiny of the 64th Regiment of Bengal Infantry has been repressed by the decided measures of General Hunter, and produced the most stringent proceedings on the part of Sir Charles Napier, the Governor of Sinde. The colours were taken from the regiment, and forty ringleaders placed on trial for mutiny.

POLAND.

The Emperor of Russia has issued an edict by which the division of the kingdom of Poland is changed from its present number of governments to five. This new division is to be effected by the union of the government of Sandomir with that of Kielce, under the denomination of the government of Radom, and of Poldachia with Warsaw, under the denomination of Warsaw; the governments of Plosk, Lublin, and Augustowo, are to remain in their present state.

CHINA.

Great dissatisfaction is felt at the meddling of the French and Americans in the now settled affairs with China. It is mentioned that Sir H. Pottinger, prior to his departure for England, had introduced his successor, Mr. Davis, to Keying, when they held a conversation without the aid of an interpreter. is considered a great advantage.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.

VISIT OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH.

We have this month to record an event which will form a bright page in the annals of England. For the first time in our history a reigning monarch of France has voluntarily landed on our shores. He has come with the general approbation of the great nation he governs so sagaciously; he has been received by the consort of the Sovereign and the great hero of his age at Portsmouth; has been welcomed wherever he appeared but for a moment by the hearty and honest acclamations of the popular voice; and has been met at Windsor with something dearer than even regal magnificence, the affectionate regard

R.N. Aides-de-Camp to his Excellency; Le Baron Fain, Chef du Cabinet du Roi ; Dr. Fouquier, Physician in attendance on his Majesty; and M. Pasquier, Surgeon in ordinary to the King. Le General Baron Athalin, Le General Comte de Rumigny, Colonel Comte de Chabannes, and Colonel Comte Dumas were Aidesde-Camp in attendance on the King; and Colonel Thierry, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke de Montpensier.

Of course all was expectation and anxious preparation for the royal visitor at Portsmouth. It was contrived that a sort of fleet, as it were, formed of the squadron of experimental gun-brigs and one or two ships-of-the-line, and some other vessels, should, by stretching out for some miles off the harbour in the direction of the French coast, at once act as heralds of the approach of the French vessels, and as a sort of escort to his Majesty up the harbour. The St. Vincent,

120, was at Spithead, and at a short distance from her was the Queen, 110. There were also in the line of outlying ships several of the royal yacht squadron, extending far out in the horizon, and awaiting the moment when the appearance of the first French vessel should call them into activity. The fleet of gaily-decorated vessels grew, as it glided slowly on, augmented every minute by some additions, by large and small steamers, brigs, cutters, yachts, traders-in short, by every description of craft that floats in these waters, not to omit thousands of small sailing and row boats, filled with ladies and gentlemen in gay attire, and reminding one of the boat fairs in the rivers of China. As soon as the Gomer had anchored, Sir Charles Rowley sent a boat to take aboard the French corps diplomatique, which consisted of the Ambassador (his Excellency the Comte de Ste. Aulaire), the Counts de Jarnac and de Noailles, the Baron de Talleyrand, MM. de Rabaudy, de la Belinaye, &c. Hardly had they been introduced to their royal master than the corporation of Portsmouth came aboard to present their address. The Recorder Mr. Rawlinson read an address, to which his Majesty immediately delivered in English the following reply:

[ocr errors]

"Mr. Mayor, Messrs. Aldermen and Burgesses, and Gentlemen who now surround me, it is with peculiar satisfaction that I acknowledge the gracious permis. sion of her Majesty Queen Victoria to admit you to present to me this address. I have heard it read with unfeigned satisfaction, for, having in former years long enjoyed the shelter and hospitality of your generous shores, it affords me the highest gratification to be able to express the

warm feelings of my heart on the present occasion.

"Last year her Majesty kindly paid me a visit, which I felt as a great favour, and which I know has much tended to maintain and strengthen the friendship subsisting between the two countries, and which most warmly subsists between the hearts of the two Sovereigns. My wish has always been to promote sincere union between my country and yours. When I formerly shared your hospitality, I long lamented the war which then unhappily raged between the two nations. I blessed its termination, and it was ever my desire and intention to cultivate good relations between the two countries. I felt, of course, that my first interest was towards my own country; but I felt that it was much more my interest that my country should be at peace with your country, and that your country should be at peace with my country. I felt also that this was necessary no less for our mutual prosperity than for that of mankind and all the world, inasmuch as no country can increase in prosperity but by the increase of the prosperity of its neighbours. I felt, and still feel, it our mutual interest that there should be no feelings of national jealousy subsisting between nations, and that, if such feelings cannot be entirely destroyed, we should at least always work to put an end to them. Such has always been my aim; and I account it my very good fortune to be again visiting your shores, and enabled to express to her Majesty my sincere affection, my warm friendship, and my gratitude for the many tokens of friendship she has bestowed upon me.

"I am happy, also, on this occasion, to be able to express how much I am gratified by this address. I assure you the recollection of the reception 1 have met with in England will never be effaced from my heart. Long may we all, gentlemen, enjoy the blessings of peace. Such is my aim and my wish. Depend upon it I shall be warmly assisted in France in its maintenance and cultivation, and be assured at least that no effort on my part shall be wanting for it."

His Majesty spoke with great fluency in the purest English accent, and evi dently with much feeling. The Recorder ventured to express a wish that his Majesty had a copy of his speech. The King's answer was, "I have no copy-I have improvised, but it is spoken from my heart."

At half-past ten his Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived at the Victuallingyard, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, and embarked in a barge to welcome the King, who immediately after landed, and proceeded at once to the

railway, by which he travelled to Farn borough. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and attended by the Countess of Gainsborough, the lady in waiting, and by Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl Delawarr, the Hon. George Anson, and other principal officers of the household, awaited the King's arrival at the grand vestibule of Windsor Castle at a quarter past two o'clock. Their Majesties embraced affectionately at the moment of meeting, and the illustrious party proceeded up the grand staircase; the Queen on the arm of the King of the French, the Duchess of Kent with the Duke de Montpensier, and M. Guizot following with the Earl of Jersey.

On Thursday the Queen, Prince Albert, the King of the French, the Duke of Montpensier, &c. proceeded to Claremont, and from thence to Twickenham, to the house formerly occupied by his Majesty, and now in the occupation of the Earl of Mornington. The royal party then went through Hampton Court to Claremont House, and then returned to the Castle, where a grand banquet was served at seven o'clock in St. George's Hall.

On Friday a Chapter of the Most Noble Order of the Garter was held by the Queen in the Throne-room, when the King was invested with the insignia of the Order, by her Majesty. The knights present were Prince Albert, the Dukes of Cambridge, Rutland, Wellington, Devonshire, Buccleuch, Beaufort, and Buckingham; Marquesses of Anglesea, Exeter, Lansdowne, Westminster, and Salisbury. A banquet in honour of the occasion was then given to 100 guests in St. George's Hall.

On Saturday the Duke de Montpensier visited Woolwich Arsenal, accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. The Royal party honoured Eton College with a visit that day. The Mayor and Corporation of London attended in the afternoon, and presented an address of congratulation to the King on his arrival in this country; to which his Majesty returned a suitable answer.

On Saturday his Majesty, &c. attended mass in the Chapel at Clewer, and in the afternoon walked on the Terrace.

On Monday morning the King departed for France, accompanied by Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on their way to the Isle of Wight. Having arrived at the Gosport terminus, the royal party were received by the Duke of Welling ton, and Major-General Pakenham, and proceeded to the intended place of embarkation, amid the cheers of the multitude and firing from the batteries. The

11

rain, however, came down in torrents, and it was deemed advisable, from the stormy state of the weather, that his Majesty should return to London, and proceed to France viá Dover. Having taken leave of Her Majesty in the most affectionate manner, the King_entered the train, which reached Nine Elms at half-past ten, and he was from thence escorted to the terminus of the Dover Railway at New Cross (where the octagonal building was at the time in flames), and immediately proceeded by special train for Dover, at which place he remained during the night at the Ship Inn. On Tuesday morning he embarked in Le Nord, one of the French Post-office steamers, for Calais, through a rough sea. His Majesty landed safely at Calais, from whence he proceeded that evening to the Chateau of Eu.

The last time Louis Philippe visited England was in 1815, during the hundred days. When Louis XVIII. went to Ghent, the Duke of Orleans took refuge in England, where he remained until the battle of Waterloo enabled him once more to return to the Palais Royal.

Shortly after the departure of the King of the French, the Queen and Prince Albert embarked, and on the following morning Her Majesty breakfasted on board the Gomer. Her Majesty was received by Vice-Admiral La Susse. The royal party then returned to the yacht and steered direct to Cowes.

Sept. 28. A dreadful explosion of firedamp occurred at Haswell Colliery, situate in the very centre of the great Durham coal-field, about seven miles from the city of Durham, and nine from Sunderland, the property of Messrs. Clark, Taylor, Plumer, and others. It is one hundred and fifty fathoms deep, and the workings are in the well-known Hutton Seam. The character of the mine, in respect of ventilation, has always stood high. Not a soul has been left to tell the mournful tale of how the accident occurred, the whole of the men employed in the working, ninety-five in number, having been swept into eternity without a moment's warning. Four men, who were at the bottom of the shaft, escaped, by the fire having burned itself out before it reached them. Between fifty and sixty carts were employed in conveying the dead bodies to the places of interment. Fifty-four were buried in the buryingground of South Hetton Church, the others at Easington and Hallgarth villages, about three miles distant. Haswell colliery is one of the most extensive in the county of Durham. It employs upwards of 300 men and boys.
