The amusements of the evening concluded the
festival of yesterday in a very agreeable manner ; the

of the conservatnry placed on one of the terraces of
the Imperial Palace. The Emperor remained,
during the whole concert, seated near the great
window of the principal building. In the intervals
the people manifested their joy by applauses and
shouts of " Pia l'Enttereatr!" After the concert,
the crouds which filled the garden turned towards
the quays on the banks of the river, and the bridges
of the Thnilleries and La Concorde, to see the fire-

were played off at ten o'clock.

rally diverted by the presence of their Imperial
M:jesties, who appeared and remained 4 long
time at the entrance of the vestibule of this Sete dies
Garda, in such a manner as to be seen by all the
'spectators. Her Majesty, the Empress, was in full
dress, and the Emperor was dressed in the same uni-
form which he wore in the morning. When the
Concert was ended, theft Majesties hslding each other
by the hand, approached to the end of the terrace,
when they bowed to the public as if to testify how
much they were sensible of the acclamations and
testimonies of affection, of which they had been the
object in the course of the day —G.aselte de Frawy.
