WANTE D,
O R, THE
THE
The prayers of the colony upon the departure of M
le marquis de Bouille, were alluded to by the figure of
a Blip under weigh; the inhabitants on thore with their
eyes lilted towards Heaven, nd this inGription:
Vela det, & citius redeat.
The inside of rhe place fitted up for this enrhrL?U
ment, was covered from one end to the other with fe.
veral fails which appeared to be but a single one, and'
which secured it from the bad effe&s of the air. Thia
immense and laborious talk was concealed from view
by flags whole variegated tinßs formed a maguific ens
cieling and rendered the appearance of it very pleafing'
to the eye. Wreaths of laurel were artificially hung
iround the walks from tree ^ tree, the trunks of whick
THE firft idea of giving an entertainment to th&
marquis and marchioness de Bouille, was taker!
up by the merchants of,his town with an earnefinefs
and unanimity which were the surest indications of the
sincerity of their intention : and as the inclination to
render every honour to the proteßor of our colonies,
and the conquerer of Brimflope bill, universally pre
vailed, so was the scheme of entertaining him, before
his departure, received by every one with transport.
He was therefore intreated to lay aside for some hours
the cares of his government, and to receive the homages
which were preparing for him. Thursday last was
the day appointed. The principal persons in the ci
vil department, all the corps, both civil and military,
and every One of the general's brave companions in
arms, were invited to be fpeaators of those testimonies
of public affeAion for him, which were about to be ex^
hibited. At fix o'clock in the evening the entertain
ment was ushered in by a discharge of all the artillery
of the flips in the road. The flouts of Vive Bou
ille were heard on all sides. The hall and gallery
of M. d'Elhorme, which were entirety appropri
ated to the use of the dancers, were already ornament
ed with several circles of ladies, the natural brilliancy
of whose charms was heightened by the elegant diver
fit, of their dresses. A prodigious concourse of officers
of all ranks, and of citizens, had already filled the room,
when M. le .comte de Graffe, and M. and madame le
marquise de Bpuille tnade their appearance. The robs
then re founded with a thousand acclamations; after
which a most harmonious Concert for feme time suspend
ed these flattering demonfirations of joy. The fing
ers celebrated the powers of love, the valour of our
heroes, and the influence which they have over the
fair. The choice of the airs was greatly applauded,
because they pißured to us virtues which we admire,
and the models of which we had then before our eyes.
To the concert succeeded a ball, which was opened by
our generals, and the company then partook of the dif
ferent amusements which presented themselves. At
half an hour after eight, every body repaired to
the terrace walk on the opposite fide, to fee the fire
works which had been prepared in boats on the water.
The decorations which ftut in this terrace, represented
the front of a palace in the lonic order, embellished by
pillars with their entablatures, and opened with grand
porticos. Over the principal gate was seen a pediment,
upon which was inferibed the occasion of this enter
tainment given to the proteHor of the colony, and the
vanquisher of the enemies of bis country.
Amico at Viffori Commercium.
Above that, upon the frize, were displayed the arms
of M. and madame la marquise de Bouille, fhpported
by two genii, one crowned with laurels, the other with
myrtles, entwined with this inscription,
Arma prior viHi fufpendit capta tropheo.
Upon a grand Medallion was seen a chain of islands,
on each of which the I French flag was flying : a merch
ant ship appeared under fail, with these words at the
bottom,
Between the pillars were several divices emblemati
cal of the intention with which the entertainment was
given, and representing those different aßions by which
our general had merited the acknowledgments of his
country. It will be enough to relate some of them to
give an idea of the others. We cite them without
translations, pot doubting but the ladies will eafil,
find interpreters.
The glorious and almost bloodless conquers, in
which the marquis de Bouille bad given examples of
bis justice and humanity, were represented by a Cupid
Matching a pair of colours from an English grenadier:
Amor fine clade viftor.
The Temple of Janus was represented with the door
open:
A trophy ereßed to the reign of Louis XVL ap
peared covered with colours, upon one of which was
written Dominica, with this inscription at the foot of
the trophy,
