REMOVAL OF THE FRENCH ROYALISTS FROM HOLYROOD.
The Dutchess d'Angoukme arrived at Grillon's Hotel on Saturday; she is accompanied by the young Princess de Berri. She was to leave town for Hamburg to-day. The ostensible cause of her visit to London was her disinclination to so lengthened a voyage as from Leith to Hamburg. During her stay, she was visited by Queen Adelaide ; the Dutchess of Cumberland, the Prince and Princess Lieven, the Chevalier Bermudez (the Spanish Minister), Baron Wissenburg (the Austrian Minister), Baron and Baroness Bulow, the Countess of
• Essex, and Lady Ann Beckett, made daily calls at the hotel. Charles the Tenth proceeds in a Government steam-vessel direct to Hamburg ; and with him the Ascanius of the family, Henry the Fifth. Various causes are assigned for the removal. The least dignified is the expense of living in Scotland ; the most recherebee is a wish on the part of Louis Philip to resign his recently-acquired ho- nours to his little cousin, and content himself with the management of his rentes,—in which, if report speak true, he feels a much stronger interest than in the well-governing of . the kingdom of the French. From the visit of the Dutchess of Angouleme to London, it does not seem altogether improbable, that old Charles has yet some hopes of going back to France. We don't believe time sea-sickness excuse. Prussia and Austria are said to have refused passports to the Ex-King. We thought all these matters had been previously arranged.
The tradesmen of Edinburgh are deeply affected at the loss of Charles. Time Observer is quite sentimental on the subject of the regret felt for his departure. The Herald is at a loss to reconcile all this with the Athenians' love of freedom. The love of freedom does not preclude the love of a good customer.
