UNION BETWEEN FRANCE AND
ENGLAND.
Many influential persons connected with the arts, sciences, manu-
factures, commerce, and trade of this country, having expressed a
desire to celebrate, by a Public Festival, the Union which now
happily exists between France and England, and also of seeing
established a free and uninterrupted commercial and friendly inter-
course between the two nations, and thereby promote the peace and
prosperity cf both, the following suggestions are submitted for con-
sideration, as likely to effect the above inestimable o'Aects, alike
valuable to England and France,
That a Festival be held in Londdn, to which shall be invited a
certain number of distinguished individuals, holding Government,
municipal, and other public offices in France, and connected with
the arts, sciences, manufactures, and commerce in that country.
That the Expenses of the Entertainments to be given be (to make
it national) defrayed by voluntary subscriptions, to be open to per-
sons resident in all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as in L )n-
-don, and by the issuing of tickets at a price to be; fixed by a Cam-'
mittee.
That an endeavour be made to open to the visitors (free of charge)
all Public Buildings, and Private Depositories of Art, Science, and
Manufacture.
That after one hundred persons have testified their approval of
such a Festival, a Meeting be called, and a Committee appointed
for carrying the same into effect.
Among other Entertainments proposed to be given are, a Banquet
in tne Guildhall (for which application will be made), a Public Fete,
at the Crystal Palace, and a Festival upon the River Thames ; but
these, with the time for holding the Festival, and the plans and de-
t ails, are left for futare consideration and approval.
Persons approving of the above suggestions tvill be pleased to
