PARIS, FRIDAY Event:co.
Whether the rain which fell on Wednesday night
epoi:ed a portion of the fireworks prepared u a finale
to the military lam, or that the explosion at Vin-
cennes really destroyed the best part of them, as was
at iirst reported. certain it is that, of the vent crowds
whale sus nettled last night on either side the Seine,
to sours the grand pyrotechnic display promised
from the intruder°, the greater part returned to their
hone • pronouncing the exhibition to be a complete
fe:ure. .11w operations seem to have gone wrong
from the first, the signal-gun baying been
tired nearly half an hour before the time,
and the whole 'Treacle having conies to an end
atsiut a quarter of an hour after the time fixed for
the beginning. .%mong the late comers were the
Arab sheiks. who, however, bore their misfortune
with the resignation of true believers. At an early
boor in the afternoon, thousands might he seen
wending their way towards the scene of anticipated
pleasure, and long before the hour appointed the
Champ-de-Nlars was alive with closely packed faces
staring at the heights of the Trocadero. 1
By half-past seven o'clock the tribune where the
?meant placed himself on Monday was filled with
officers waiting his arrival, and those on either aide
were soon after occupied by ladies. The front of the
Thule Militaire was lighted by rows of lamps.
Down each side of the Champ de Mars were pyre-
midal stands filled with tampions, and a double row
ran down the centre of the ground.
About half past eight the Prince President arrived,
and. on enteting the Champ do Mars, was received
bv cries of tt Vivo Napoleon." The anticipation of
the hour announced for the commencement of the
display may have arisen from this early appearance of
the President. who had just been paying a visit to the
corporals of the provincial deputations at their dinner
in the court of the Ecole Militaire. Presently a blue
light burst forth on the summit of the building, and
was replied to by a salvo of artillery from the battery
stationed on the Quay. Then arose, like a golden
sheaf of tire overspreading the sky, an immense
bouquet of rockets, which at their culmination
out showers of stars of all hues, that
dropped like parachutes slowly down the dark sky,
changing from ruby to emerald, or azure, as they
fell. The infantry stationed on the slope of the hill
then began a discharge of Roman candles, which was
kept up without intermission. While these were
dying away red fires were seen bursting forth on
different parts of the heights, and in a short time the
whole hill assumed the appearance of a burning mare
of a deep red hue, from the midst of which were
vomited continually bombs which burst in
showers of stars. The heights looked as
deluged with lava. Presently the red fire
disappeared, and in its place was traced in
lines of light the triumphal arch of the CartnimaL
On the top stood a gigantic eagle, with van, es.
tended and looking down at the inscription of nen
Louis Napoleon," which blazed on the front ovee Ile
arch. On either side were pillars of light, one MT-
mounted he the cross of the Legion of Honour, and
the other by the new military medal.
The appearance of thispyrotechnic monument was
hailed with shouts of " Vire Napoleon."
Last came the bouquet, filling, like the
eruption of a volcano, a third part of the dark
heavens MA a ith branching gold, while in the midst
sig.zsgs of rainbow-coloured flame played like forked
lightnings. The whole affair was so soon over, that
the people remained still a long while on the ground,
deluded by the perpetual discharge of bombs, and the
wheeling rays of a lens upon the smoke that more
was behind. Waiting in von they vented their dis-
appointment in groans, and then rolled sullenly
eastward along the quays in vast masses, with the
weal quiet and orderly behaviour of Parisian crowds.
In the meantime, it appears that a great fire had
occurred in the faubourg St. Antoine. The people
going in that direction conjectured at first that this
wee the missing portion of the fireworks, which some
republican artilleryman bad bagged, and reserved
he explosion in the head-quarters of democracy.
The dinner given by the Prince-President to the
ace-commissioned officers of the of Paris and
the soldiers who had received medals, took place
yesterday at the Ecole Militalre. Pour immense
