cherries, peaches, and neaarines,have been brought
from different hot houfes for the occafion; and in-
termixed with every odoriferous ihrub and plant
which' our bell nurferies contain, will make it a
delicious promenade. The ball room is ornament-
ed with paintinge,allegorical of all the nations who
have been engaged in the war, now happily termi-
nated, and combining expreffive emblems of the
harmony which they now degre to cultivate. Sup.
per will be laid for 1400perfons in five great rooms
on the firfi -floor,and thirteen rooms on the fecond;
the elegance of the decaratinns will furpafs every
thing of the kind which has been given on the oc-

which will be devoted to their embellifhment, the
arts will be promoted, and all the bufy miniflers
of fafhion will be called upon to torture their ima-
ginations for novelty on the occafion.
