ANNIVERSARY OF JULY.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.)
Frew DAY, SATURDAY, 27TH.
The term fete in the ordinary acceptation of the word
can scarcely be applied to this day ; the epoch recalled by
its celebration is still too recent for time to have wholl)
mellowed down the grief of those bereaved of their nearest
and dearest friends into an unmingled exultation in the
glory which hallowed their fall. Such were the feeling.
with which we were involuntarily impressed on visiting
the temporary monuments erected on the four principal
spots on which the bodies of the fallen were collected—
viz., the Louvre, the Champs de Mars, the Marche de,
Innocens, and the Rue Froidinanteau. Great judgment
and taste were displayed in all these decorations ; that of
the Louvre, however, was the most remarkable ; a funeral
column placed in the angle of the garden next the river
attracted attention afar off, and at the tombs a temp,
rary scaffolding covered with black cloth, bore inscribed in
large white characters, the simple but impressive epitaph,
"Monts pour la Patrie." Behind this scaffolding were
placed the musicians of the National Guards and of the
troops of the line, who executed funereal music throughout
the day. Divine service was performed at all the place•
of religious worship of every persuasion. The Pont
d'Arcole, as the scene of one of the most memorable ex
ploits of three days, was profusely decorated ; a funeral
monument, with numbers of tricoloured flags, and other
emblems of the revolution, occupied the centre, and
round the chains which support the bridge were entwine,
wreaths of oak and laurel. At the foot of the bridge we.
placed a battery, which every quarter of an hour repeated
the signal cannons fired from the Hotel des Invalides and
the ship La Ville de Paris. The Hotel de Ville and
other public buildings were decorated with funeral dra
peries, and we also observed several private houses, par-
ticularly one in the Rue Vivienne, in which decorations
of wreaths of flowers were tastefully disposed, in con-
junction with the usual mourning draperies. In the
evening the vessel, the temporary monument in the Place
de la Bastille, and the various tombs, were illuminated
with Bengal lights. A great concourse of people thronged
the churches and the tombs in the early part of the d ry,
and thence, tempted by the fineness of the weather, which
was scarcely less splendid than on the original 27th, dis-
persed themselves in every direction to view the prepara-
tions for the subsequent fetes. The Champs Elysees
offered the appearance of a vast fair; never in our rem!.
lection were the booths so numerous or of so respectable
an aspect. The great objeat of attraction to the
Parisians was, however, the vessel, which certainly does
the greatest credit to the builder. By the admirable man-
ner in which it is arranged the illusion is so complete, that
it is impossible not to imagine it at anchor near the
shore, and all the minutest details are observed in every
part of it. The sculptured figures represent the city of
Paris, attended by her tributary rivers—the Seine and the
Marne. Its dimensions are about those of an ordinary
sloop, but it is fitted up and rigged on the model of a ship
of the line. A maritime flotilla, richly adorned with
flags and trophies, which crowded the river near the
vessel, had a highly animated and pleasing effect. The
three enormous banners, bearing the dates of the three
days, which floated from the Pont Neuf, had a gorgeous
effect when the sun shone on them. The flag-staff on
Notre Dame, bearing a banner with the arms of the city,
is upwards of 70 feet high. In the evening the inhabi-
tants of the quarters St. Denis, St. Martin, the Darais,
&c., amused themselves with a profusion of petards, but
no one appeared to have the slightest idea of injuring more
than the ear drums of the neighbours. There were very
few carriages in the Champs Elysees. The pedestrians
were, however, immensely numerous ; in the Tuileries
Gardens and the Place Vendome it was scarcely possible
to wove. ID the course of the evening the King and
Queen and Royal Family came out on the terrace of the
chateau to inspect the orchestra; those of the public who
observed the Royal Family (which, however, owing to the
height and distance of the terrace, was confined to a small
number) greeted them with cries of " Vive le Roi !"

SECOND DAY, SUNDAY, JULY 28.

THE REVlEW.—Precisely at half-past ten o'clock the
King, attended by an unusually numerous and brilliant
staff, left the Palace, and proceeded slowly along the line
of the Boulevards to the Place de la Bastille, passing the
troops in review as they were ranged on his right and left
hand. It is impossible to exaggerate the enthusiasm with
which he was received throughout his whole progress ;
the attempts made to procure the expression of sen-
timents of discontent appeared to have had precisely the
contrary effect, and to have made every one more
anxious to loudly express their feelings of attach.
ment to the dynasty of July. Once or twice an
isolated cry of " A ban les forts !" was heard from the
ranks of the National Guards, hut it was so instantly
stifled by the enthusiastic shouts of " Vice le Roi," that it
was lost before even echo could repeat it. As the King
was passing the Rue Caumartin, two shabbily dressed in-
dividuals, between forty and fifty years of age, shouted,
"A bas les forts ;" a gentleman standing neat to them
instantly struck the one nearest to him a violent blow
on the face; the surrounding crowd hailed the gentle-
man with shouts of applause, and the two men, per-
ceiving the current of popular feeling, escaped as fast
as possible down the Rue Neuve des Capucines, where
they were followed by a number of the crowd (amont
whom were several women) sl outing "A has lee trartres."
This was the only incident which marked the Royal
progress along the Boulevards. All the avenues leading
to the Place Vendome were thronged at an early hour,
and in the place itself every window or loophole, from
which a peep could be possibly obtained, was crowded.
The pedestal of the column was decorated with wreaths
and garlands of immortelles, and round it were placed
twelve small columns, painted in imitation of bronze,i
and surrounded with a gilt ball, terminating n a spdre.
Oa these were inscribed the names of the battles gained
in the campaign of 1805, which furnished the cannon
for the formation of the column, and also those of the
generals who commanded in each. The gallery at the
top of the column was profusely decorated with trico-
loured flags. At 10 minutes before 1 o'clock the Queen
arrived in a covered caleche, open at the sides, and escorted
by the cavalry of the National Guards ; in the carriage
with her Majesty were Madame Adelaide, the Princess
Marie, and the young Dukes of Aumale and i'slontpensier,
in the uniform of privates of the National Guards. Three
open carriages followed with the Royal suite. Her Ma-
jesty, both on entering the chancellerie, and when she
appeared in the balcony, was enthusiastically greeted.
She was dressed in a simple blue carriage dress,
with a blue hat ; Madame Adelaide had a white
dress, with a straw hat trimmed with yellow, and the
Princess an entire rose-coloured dress. At five minutes
past 1 o'clock the King, mounted on a white charger, and
wearing the full uniform of the National Guard, entered
the Place Vendome from the Rue Castiglione; the Duke
of Weans, also in the uniform of the National Guard,
was on his right, and the Prince de Joinville, in a naval
uniform, on his left. Among his staff were the Ministers
of Commerce and the Interior, in full costume, General
Sebastiani, and Marshal the Duke of Treviso. The Duke
de Nemours, in his full uniform as Colonel of the Lancers,
arrived with his suite a few minutes afterwards. The
whole royal party immediately dismounted, and entered
the Cbancellerie to partake of a splendid breakfast, pre-
pared by the Minister of Justice for the Royal family and
suite, the ministers, mayors, and other functionaries ; and
the Queen, with her suite, retired from the balcony to
receive her royal husband. While they were absent, the
public was admitted to the east side of the square, and
formed a dense mass opposite the Chancellerie. At 10
minutes before 2 the King came out, and took his station
opposite the statue, having his back to the Rue Castiglione;
the Duke of Orleans and the Prince de Joinville placed
themselves on his right; the Duke de Nemours on his
left, and the whole of the stiff behind him. M. Thiers,
by direction of his Majesty, advanced in front of the staff,
and gave the signal for a roll of drums ; immediately after
which the mantle concealing the statue was torn from it
by cords attached to the opposite corners, and held by two
grenadiers of the Old Imperial Guard, stationed in the
gallery at the top of the column. As soon as the statue
was uncovered, one of the bands of the National Guard,
struck up the Parisienne; the King and his attendants
took off their hats, and mingled shouts of " Vive l'Empe-
reur" and " Vive le Roi" rent the air. We observed
among the spectators a number of veterans who had re-
sumed the imperial uniform, and who, in common with
many others of the old imperial army, who were present,
though they were not in uniform, appeared affected even
to tears at this moment. The effect of the statue leaves

July,
and then by the National Guards of Paris, preceded
by Marshal Lebau and his staff. The National Guards
were so numerous, that they alone occupied three hours
in defiling. The utmost enthusiasm appeared to per- ,

vade their ranks. A number of wreaths and crowns were
'brown at the foot of the column, and some also to the
King. The legions of the banlieue exhibited their usual
motley appearance, being interspersed with men out of
uniform, women, and children, but the appearance and
fiscipline of the Parisian Guards, particularly the 2d,
4th, and 10th legions, excited universal admiration. We
bserved that none of the hands, either of the National
Guards or the troops, played either the Marseillaise, the
Parisienne, or any other national airs during the defiling.
except that of the 2d Regiment of Lancers, which played
the M trseillaise once through. In some of the legions the
irder to carry arms was given on arriving before the
statute, in others not until they approached the King. A
little before five o'clock refreshments were brought from
the Chancellerie for the King and his immediate attend-
nits. The line of the National Guards was terminated
by the legion of cavalry, all the squadrons of which ap-
peared nearly complete. After the National Guards, came
in succession eight regiments of infantry of the line,
weceded by General Pajol, commandant of the place, and
bia staff, the artillery of Vincennes, with 60 pieces of
cannon, the regiment of gendarmerie of the department of
he Seine, two regiments of carbineer,, two of dragoons,
four of cuirassiers, four of lancers, one of chasseurs, and
one of hussars. All these regiments shouted " Vive le
Roi" as they passed the King, which, although somewhat
contrary to strict military discipline, did not appear ill
received. At seven o'clock the King and suite, after
saluting the Queen, who remained at her balcony, returned
to the Palace by the Rue Castiglone, amid the same en-
thusiastic cheers which greeted his arrival. He was fol-
iowed almost immediately by the Queen and her suite,
who «•ere also much cheered. The whole review passed
aff in the most satisfactory manner, and we have not heard
of any accident occurring. The King appeared in excel..
lent health and spirits, although evidently much exhausted
by fatigue at the conclusion of the review. The Duke de
Nemours left his father to place himself at the head of his
regiment of lancers, but as soon as he had saluted the
King he stationed himself with the music until the
regiment had defiled, and then returned to his old place.
The total number of troops reviewed must have been at
!east 100,000.

THE CONCERT.-Immediately after the termination of
the review, the immense crowd which throrved the Place
Vendome, and the adjacent streets, rushed to the garden
of the Tuileries, but found every place near the halo,.
trade which enclosed the orchestra already occupied by
amateurs, anxious to hear the effect of this much talked of
orchestra : considered in itself, it is unquestionably good,
hut considered in reference to the magnitude of the means
employed, it must be pronounced a failure. No fault is to
be found with the execution, but the only pieces which pro-
duced the slightest effect on the public were the overtures
to Guillaume Tell, the Muette, and the Gazza Ladra.
The rolling of the drums (400) was certainly audible
enough, but the eff,ct was far more striking than agree-
able. The King and the Royal Family were in the balcony
behind the orchestra, but they were scarcely seen by any
but the first ranks of the spectators, until his Majesty rose
to depart, when some shouts of " Vive le Roi," mingled
with the appl.iuse bestowed on the Marseillaise, with which
the concert commenced and ended.

FIREWORKS AND ILLUMINATIONS.—About half-past
9 o'clock the vessel, the Ville de Paris, which bad been
splendidly dressed with colours during the day, was
attacked by a flotilla of gun and rocket boats. The combat
lasted more than half an hour, and there was certainly no
economy of powder, as the firing on both sides was inces-
sant till it terminated. The fireworks on the bridges were
unusually splendid, but unfortunately part of the grand
piece which was to have represented the Hotel de Ville,
surmounted by Napoleon on the column, failed, and the
Emperor would not emerge lom obscurity, Just before
the bouquet a splendid crimson light was thrown on the
vessel, which had a novel and highly picturesque effect.
The Champs Elysees, the gardens of the Tuileries, awl ail
the adjacent streets, were thronged in a manner wholl y
unprecedented. The population of France appeared con-
centrated in Paris; and locomotion was throughout the
evening, and great part of the night, a work requiring no
small ingenuity and perseverance.

THIRD DAY, MONDAY, 29T11.
A popular fete, although the most interesting of any to
the partakers of it, offers but few prominent points for
description ; the same general character necessarily per-
vades the festivities of each successive year, and it is only
in the greater or less degree of animation and stir among
the population to which they give rise that any difference
worthy of record can exist. In this respect the fete of
July 29, 1833, mast stand unrivalled by any since those
of the empire; the crowds in the Tuileries, the Quays,
and the Champs Elysees, were incredible, and in all the
motley mass every faculty appeared absorbed in that of
enjoyment. Everything went off in the most satisfactory
manner. The joute, which took place between the Pont
de la Concord and the Pont de Jena was particularly
good ; the pavilion of the Judges, and the barges of the
Prefect and municipal authorities, were most tastefully
decorated, and the successive ducking of the several can-
didates, celebrated by a triumphal march by the band of
the 40th regiment, was greeted with general laughter and
good humour. The victory was obstinately contested,
but at length terminated in favour of the Blues. A hand-
some dinner was prepared on board the Ville de Paris
for the combatants, who paid their devotion to the pre-
siding deity until a late hour. In the evening the whole
ship was superbly illuminated with tricoloured lamps, also
the whole range of the rig..ing, the effect of which, seen
from the garden of the Tuileries, was enchanting. The
Champs Elysees and all the temporary orchestras, &c.,
were also illuminated with variegated lamps, a new and
vast improvement in the Parisian system of illumination ;
the vista of the Champs Elysees formed by the illuminated
garlands between the trees, and terminated by the brilliant
illumination of the base of the obelisk had an admirable
effect. The other public buildings were lighted up as
usual, and the private illuminations, although by no
means universal, were far more numerous than on the
preceding night.
The only special ceremonies of the day were, laying
the first stones of the new bonding warehouses in the Place
des Marais, the grand Gallery of Mineralogy in the Jardin
des Plantes, and the new bridge, to be built opposite the
Port aux Bles, in the Cite. His Majesty, accompanied
by his three elder sons, and attended by a brilliant staff,
including the Ministers of the Interior and of Commerce,
and a great number of Marshals and general officers, left
the Tuileries at half-past twelve o'clock, and proceeded,
first to the Place des Marais, thence by the Rue de Lancry,
the Boulevards, the Place de Bastille, and the Pont d'Aua-
terlitz, to the Jardin des Plantes, and thence to the Cite,
whence he returned by the quays and the Louvre to the
Palace, where he arrived at four o'clock. During the
whole progress of the Royal cortege the demonstrations of
the people were of the most satisfactory character ; and
on arriving at the Place des Marais and the Jardin des
Plantes, appropriate addresses were made to the King by
the Prefect of the Seine and the Minister of Public In-
truction respectively, to which his Majesty made suitable
replies.
The winding up of the festival was the splendid banquet
and hall given by the Prefect of the Seine to the newly-
married couples, the King and Royal Family, the Cabinet
Ministers, and upwards of 3,000 of the most distinguished
personages in the capital, including most of the foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers. No expense was spared to
enhance the splendour of this entertainment, which was so
much to the taste of the guests, that at the hour we write
(1 o'clock) the Hotel de Vdle is still crowded to excess
by the amateurs of the " mazy dance." Up to 11 o'clock
she same recreation was pursued with equal spirit, if with
less elegance, in the Champs Elpee,, and the evening ter-
minated with perpetual discharges of muskets and
petards,
and the other usual signs of rejoicing, in every part of the
capital.
Thus has terminated their long anticipated festival,
from which so much was hoped, and so much feared;h thel
hopes have ripened into reality, the fears have apply
ceased to exist. The result of the manifestations ofte
popular feelings is more satisfactory to the King and Go-
