soeompasy the
even go there
it is stated to
me posit sly that ,re de Noury said
so this morning, and I am persuaded that the news
is true. Thus one of the moat interesting parts
of the programme is struck out. The two
squadrons will be seen for several days anchored
side by side in the harbour, but the
promised friendly race between them to Brest,
the promised "grand manoeuvres" which
they were to perform in company in the open
sea are not to be. Then again, the inter-
national meeting at Brest is sadly shorn of its
proportions, as there will be only one French
squadron there, instead of two. It is, I believe,
decided that Admiral Dacres will leave this port on
Friday, the 18th, as originally arranged, but that
he will not arrive at Brest till Monday. The
gossip of the fleet is that "my Lords" of
the Admiralty are going to pay a visit
to the Channel Islands, and that the fleet is
to cruise about in the Channel, and wait till
they are ready to go on. As there is a prospect of
heavy weather, the mettle as well as metal of the
'ironclad, is likely to be pretty severely tried. The
arrangement is not spoken of with unmixed plea-
sure, more particularly as the opportunity of seeing
,whether the English ships could manoeuvre better
than the French is not to be afforded.
There is less connection here than might be sup-
posed between the fleets and the fates. There are il-
luminations every night, and the ships see the illu-
minations of the town, while the town sees the
Illumination of the ships. But in the " nautical
jousts," international boat noes, and amusements
mentioned in the municipal programme, the
ships do not seem to take any part. There were
some boat races to-day in front of the Casino, but
they excited veil little interest, and the English
offioers, for the most part, did not know that
they were going on. The principal feature
of the day has been the visiting of the
ships by the public. All day long little
steamers and sailing boats innumerable have
been taking patties from the jetties and the quays
to go en board the ships—the English ones princi.
pally. Most of the Cherbourg boatmen are drunk,
in consequence of excitement and the quantity of
money they are earning. Some of them come along
side the English ships in such a lubberly manner as
to cause a good deal of confusion. There was a
very bad accident to-day close to the jetty. In the
narrow passage leading from the harbour to
the landing quay, an English passenger steam
boat ran foul of a pleasure boat very full
of people. One of the paddle-wheels caught the
boat and upset it, throwing all the passengers into
the water. One officer told me that four people
were drowned, and another said thirteen, but I am
happy to say that according to the latest informa-
tion in the town nobody was drowned at all. The
party were all fished out alive ; one lady was taken
to the Hotel de rAmirautd in a state which was
thought alarming, but she ultimately recovered.
The very few sailors allowed to oome on shore as
a great treat are called " special leave-men"—
being men upon whose good conduct when left to
themselves the officers think they an implicitly
rely. I continue to hear it said that it would
"never do" to allow the sailors to go into the town
in any great numbers.
I have reason to think that the speeches of the
banquet yesterday wi'l not have appeared in the
Moniteue of to-day, as was expected. The Duke
of Somerset's speech was pronounced in English,
and I am told that up to a late hour
this afternoon the Monitein's correspondent
here had not been able to get a translation of it.
The principal toasts were given in the following
order :—The Minister of Marine proposed " The
Queen ;" then the Duke of Somerset gave " The
Emperor ;" Admiral Dupuis proposed "The English
navy," and Admiral Dames returned thanks, and
proposed " The French navy." I do not think it
will be found on the minutest inspection that there
is a line in the speeches of any political importance-
The meeting itself was important and highly 'Apr
ficant of a friendly feeling between the two nations,
which we may hope will be lasting ; but it
would have been very difficult for either the French
or English government to have instructed its re-
presentatives to say anything of consequence
beyond what is implied by the event itself.
" Union, peace, and concord " were, I am given to
understand, spoken of in a general and complimen-
tary way as things to be confidently hoped for, but
any specific proclamation of an alliance for any
special purpose was not to be expected, and would
not have been desirable.
The curd of a church in Brest has written a letter
to Admiral Decree, asking him and his officers to
subscribe for a new set of bells, upon the ground
that the belfry was battered down, and the bells
taken away by the English, and that now the
peaceful mission of the English fleet affords •
happy opportunity for reparation. The appeal is
ingeniously conceived, and I should not wonder if
it were to be successful. The letter is in English
and very well worded, but not correctly spelt.
