The civil and military Audio: ities W; morning
paid a vifit to the Marquis COKNWALI.IS. He fct
out at three in the afternoon, accompanied by
40
Chaffears on hatiebacb, who arc to be replaced
by others at certain intervals. The whole g.trri-
fon were under arms, and the fircets where he
paffed were lined with numerous multitudes of
people whom he always fainted.
He expretTed to theConititured Authorities how
much he was flattered by the reception he had
experienced. It would have been exceedingly
brilliant had not the unexpe&ed hour as which
he arrived, with the darlenefs of the I•:ght, and
the badnefs of the weather,frultratcd the attentions
of the citizens of Calais.

PARTS, NOVEMBER 9.
The following Proclamation was read in all the
public ftreets, lluares,
" Frenchmen—You have at length obtained
that fall and univerfal Peace which you have me-
rited by loch long and generous facrifiees. The
world now prefents none hut friendly powers to
you, and in every tea the ports are operh:d iu hof-
pitality to receive you. Faithful to your willies and
to its promifes, the Government has yielded nei-
ther to the ambition cf conquelt, nor to the feduc-
tion of daring and ex traordinai y enterprizes. Its °
duty was to reflort reptile to humanity, and to re-
attach, by firong and durable tics, that great fa-!
mily of Europe, the delliny of which is to direct
the deitinies rf the univerfe. Its firft endeavours
have fucceeded. Another follows both for you
and for it. To the glory of arms let us add ano-
ther more agreeable to ourfelves, le's formidable
to our neighbours. Let us advance towards per-
fedion. But above all, let us teach the riling ge-
neration to clierith our inflitutions and our laws.
Let them grow up fur civil equality, for public I
freedom, for national profperity. Let us dired
to the labours of agriculture and manufadurex,
that ardour, that conflancy, that patience which
have aflonilhcd Europe in all our critical emer-
gencies. Let us unite to the efforts of the Go-
vernment the efforts of individuals, in order to en-
circle and fertilift every part of our \ aft territory.
I Let us be tEe bond of union and the example of
nations by which we arc furrounded. Let fo-
reigners, whom the attradion of curiotity may in-
duce to vifit us, remain attached by the charm of
our manners, by the fpcdatL: of our unanimity,
our induftry, and our amrifements. Let them re-
turn home more friends to the French name, in-
formed and improved.
" If any men remain who are tormented by a
hatred of their fellow-citizens, or by the memory
of what they have loft, countries of immenfe extent
are ready to receive them. Let them have the
courage to retire thither to feel wealth, and obli-
vion of their misfortunes and their fufferings. The
eyes of their country will follow them. It will fc-
cond their courage. One day friar aate in their
labours, they will return to it, b&om, worthy to
be the citizens of a free country, and cured of the
frenzy of perfecution. Frenchmen ! Thi, day two
years law the termination of your civil diffentions;
law your fallions eatinguithed. From that mo-
ment you had an opportunity to concentrate all
your energy, to embrace every thing that is great'
in the eye of humanity, every thing that is ufefid
to a country. In every inflance the Government
was your guide and !Import. Its conduct will be
conftantly the fame. lour grandeur is theirs, and
your happlucts is the only rccompence to which,
they allure. Ordered to be publifilcd, &c.

Marquis Coxmwatxts, on his arrival, was
el-carted by a firong detachment of cavalry. He
went, on the Bth, t 9 fee the exhibition of Pidurce.
His fuitc is complied of about fifteen perfons. A
Guard of Honour is placed before hi. Hotel..
His carriages, four in nutnbet, were efcortcd on
their arrivsil by a lkong detachment of cavalry.
The feltival of Pea.e, conc:ivcd on a vita plan,
and after ideas as new as they ate happy, has been i
executed with gre.:t rnawiilicence, and with a per.
fed accordance of design. We than refume the'
notice of the details of which it confitls ; and we
now confine ourfelves at this moment to fay, that ,
they have conßantly fixed the attention, and ex-
cited the feelings of the iinmenfe croud which re-
forted to the places where they a ere prepared.—
The fcenit games, for which a Theatre had been
ereded in the Fljce de la Con:lrck, have produced
the greatea effed. No perfon could conceive the
idea or remembrancz of an illumination fo rich,
fo varied, or difpofed with a more elegant dc-
lign. The two fuperh barons of the Scinc formed
between its three principal bridges, offered the
image of long curtains of fire, the brilliancy of
which was multiplied by their reflation from the
water. The Palace of the Government, that of
the Legiflative Body, and the buildings of the'
Plate de la Concordr, united by fuperh trains of
light, appeared to form but one tingle monument. ;
—The weather was finer than could have been
expelled, either from the feafon, or from the days •
preceding. The moil perfed tranquility reigned •
throughout the whole of the feflival.—Masiterr.
The Proclamation of the Fowl Cos‘o c was read
yeaerday in all the greets, place:, and fquares, in
the min of the acclamations of an immertfe mai.:
titude. Repeated difcharges of attillery announced,
in the morning, the Wheal of Peace, and it was
certainly the moll beautiful that ever has been wit.

temple of the Doric order, dedicated to Com-
merce, and built on %%this linked together, and
covered by a platform. Fire-willies verc played
off from boats placed betide the Temple, and
decorated for the purrife.
From the middle of the bridge of the Tuilleries
there was a molt magnificent coup d'eril. The in-
terior of the quays was covered with lamps. The
arches of the Ponuneuf were decorated with gar-
lands and vat legated lamps. The elegant baths of
Vigier were fo illuminated as to add much to the
pielurefqite effeel. _ . .

The other baron of the river, between the bridge
of the Tuilleries and that of Concord, was deco-
rated 6 the fame manner. The arches of the
bridges, and the buttreffes of the quays, were co-
vered by a treillage, illuminated by a prodigious
quantity of lamps. Beyond that was the altar of
the invalids, at the gate of which was ereeted a
triumphal arch of the fame dirnentions. The cir-
cumference was decorated with antique crowns, and
below the centre was a globe fpangled with liars.
On the frieze, and on a line with the archivalte,
the name of BONAPARTE appeared in letters of
large dimenfions. Four pyramids were conftrated
and illuminated in front of tlie•facadr.
The Place de la Concorde was furrourded with
yew-trees, placed at the diftance of eight yards
from the foffes. At the opening of this place, and
between the horfes of Ccifrroix, was conftrufted an
immenfe Theatre, over which was erected the
Temple of Peace. The latter was fupported by 94.
columns of the lonic order, and difpofed in a rec-
tangle, of the proportion of ten by fir. Two other
Temples, of a Mailer dimenfion, were on each
fide of that of Peace. The horfes of Coifirvix were
teen in fuch a point of view, as greatly to orna-
ment the fcene. Behind, and on the right and
LEI, was a frame-work, covered with canvas, on
v•h:..h were painted mountains, towers, baftions,
and other views of fortifications.

On each fide of the grand entrance of the Tuil-
lerics were crated arcades with their proper hafe.
meuts. The oflaapn baron was illuminated all
round. In faEl, tffe illuminations formed the belt
part of the ever= of the Fete; but it was alfo
