RECEPTION OF A FRENCH FRIGATE AT
QUEBEC.

Historians of Canada will note the event of yesterday
among the memorable points of the annals of this coun-
try. Since the conquest, 9d years ago, no French vessel
of war has cast anchor under the battlements of Quebec,
and certainly never was any received with more enthu-
siasm than was the Capricieuse, which arrived here
shortly before 7 o'clock lest evening, after a passage of
nine days from Sydney, C.B. This long-expected vessel
having passed the telegraph stations during Thursday
night, we only heard of her approach by the steamer
Saguenay, which arrived only a couple of hours before
the corvette herself. Three members of the Administra-
tion left this on Monday in the steamer Admiral to meet
the Capricieuse and accompany her commander to port.
They went as far as the Brandy Pots, and, being unable
to learn any tidings of her progress, returned to town
during Thursday night. The surprise occasioned by her
appearance was therefore the greater ; yet, despite this,
and the unfavourable state of the weather (for we had
heavy thunder showers during the whole afternoon>,
Durham-terrace, the wharfs, and every available spot
from which a sight of the corvette could be had were
thronged with spectators. The steamer Advance towed
the Capricieuse up from Bic, and as the latter vessel
passed the shipping in harbour they saluted the French
flag by lowering their ensigns. Upon coming to anchor
the corvette hoisted the British ensign at the fore, the
union-jack at the mizen, and fired 21 guns. This salute
was duly acknowledged by the artillery of Durham-te:r-
race, and the tricolour of France floated from the cita,cled
flagstaff. Vociferous cheers were given by the crowds
from the terrace and wharves, and everywherethe greater
gratification was manifested. His worship the Mayor an.d
some members of the corporation speedily hoarded the
vessel, and waited upon the commander, who, we learn,
will land at the Queen's wharf shortly before noon to-
day. It is his intention immediately thereafter to call
at Government-house, and, we understand, his Excel-
lency the Governor-General will come down in state Ito
receive him. This landing has been seized upon as ap-
propriate for the presentation of the address adopted at
the late public meeting ; the citizens are therefore re-
quested by the Mayor to meet for that purpose on
the
Queen's-wharf at half-past 11 o'clock this forenoon. The
city council on Tuesday voted $l,OOO towards defraying
o
the cost of the celebration in honour of M. de Belvez
visit. Instead of the "feast on the green sward st
the Chaudiere Falls, it has been determined to cover, .1a
