Excerpt: ... the children, indeed, some emotion was shown; banished as they were from their birthright, before they were old enough to know what they had lost. When the train arrived on the heights above Cherbourg, the spectacle that met the eyes of the travellers was very Departure affecting. The vessels in the harbor carried the tri- from Fmncecolor, all but two, -- two ships in the distance, whose sails were hung out, and all evidently ready for immediate departure. These were American vessels engaged to carry the royal family into exile.

"To Spithead," was the reply. The pilot who took them out of port related, on his return, that, as the unhappy family saw the shores of France grow dim and dimmer in the distance, their sobs and lamentations became more and more irrepressible. The King alone preserved his calmness. In twenty-four hours from their sailing, -- that is, before three o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th of August, -- the vessels anchored at Spithead. Two of the King's suite were put on shore, in order to proceed to London, to learn the pleasure of the King and Ministry of England. As it was reported to the exiles that the people of Portsmouth, in their joy at the emancipation of France, meant to hang out the tricolor all over the harbor, the vessels were removed from their first station, and moored off Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. The English ministers had to consult th...
