FETE in HONOUR of tit PEACE.

The magnificent- preparations making 'to cele
brate the Peace, at Carlton House, engross the
attention of all the parties concerned. The Board
of Works have received instructions to erect an
immense body of frame-work, eighty feet in
height, in front of the Palace, occupying nearly
the whole of the Court-yard. In addition to
transparencies, there will be devices in variegated
lamps of a most extraordinary description. It was
proposed to .0:),Ioncl CONGREVE, that he Ahould
exhibit his celcoratedrocl:cts, and that they shonfd
appear to issue out of imitative martelh)-towers,
surmounting t k cry other exhibition. The idea
was at first entertained, hut subsequently aban-
ioned, in consequence of the probability of acci-
lents happening, by particles of the fire falling on
houses, and among the assembled multitudes, at-
tracted thither by this concatenation of glorious
objects. After mature deliberation, we bear, that
Colonel CONGREVE'has it in contemplation to es.-
hibit those terrible engincitf destruction in the
Green Park, on the first night of the illumination.
To give full effect to the scene, a bridge. will be
erected on the canal, and.from thence the' rockets
are to ascend. To gratifY-JoifN BULL, there will
be snch an effulgence produced: as to set the ele-
ments on fire ; uo less than 10,000 rockets • will
.ascend at one time. This.is only intended as the.
first volley—there will be three of them.—M. Post:
