Three smail ships Which came from Ifavre, kr..
rived this morning at Path in full sail. The crowd
of persons upon the bridges ,and quays to see them
was very considerable.

On the iid of this rliontii the Minister-of War.
gave a very brilliant Fete in honour of the Pea Ce.
It was conceived and conduCted with great taste ;
all the parts of it were executed- ivith great precis
sion. The Ladies disputed the prize of youth, •of
elegance, and :of' t)eraut.Y. -From them the' eye
turned to ifi4tiFfcist&-c)nciaurie crT Officers, who-
United- decotti
irate, and gaiety with urba-
nity.' .The Consuls, Mitdsters, a great .numbeleof
Members of
,the -first authorities,- and the Diploma-
tic Corps assisted at the Fete. We shall not detail
the different parts Which -contributed to the'magic
effe& of the decoration of a rootri, built' as it •svere
by enchantment, in the spacti of a few days, in tlie
Minister's garden: But, an ingenious itlea-waspar.
ticularly 'remarked : throtighout the extent of the
saloon, and from the bosom of the most dreadful in.
strumenfs of war, were' icen' standards crowned with
laurel and united by Olive bran-cites.' Happy alle.
gory, under the
,veil- which we recognised the
image of thebenefits of Peace, issuing even from
the bosom, of the furies of War. At the extremity
of the Saloon a Theatre was erected, and a Piece
atialogous to ,the occasion• Was performed. A Ban-
c:filet succeeded, and then a Bali.—The Fete lasted
long after day-break.

E MAR C I .--The entrance of a-SWed.
ish Ship into Our Port, after-a passage of s 6 days,
witlinurhitving met
,with an' 'English one, proves
that _that Nation, occupied in 'he: -preparations
against the PoWers of the North, has •no longer
leisure to a chain of her Frigates along our
Coasts. This will give us some.-respite, and favour
the Expeditions of our- Ships of Aktr. The' en-
trance .of this, Ship into our Port, constantly
hlockaded by three Frigates and a Corvette, has
nothing miraculous-in Every -day we see French
