The official paper and the other papers
coutain the following notice of TIE FErs.
The Fete of Peace, conceived on vaR
PiA"s Sno aSSo'uinS W lucas AZ neW 81 tNcy were
happy. has been carried into effect With great
magui6cencc aud perfca uniformity. We mall
return to the details--we fliall only fay at pre-
fent, that il fixed the attention and excited the
| intefeft OF an immenfe crowd which fiocked TO
the places where il was prepared. The fcenic
amuiemenss, for the exhibition OF which Thea.
tire was pmpared on the Place It Ia Coseoyat.
produced great effeet; no one remembered an.
Illumination more rich, more various, OF difpof-
ed with more elegant deGgn. The two fuperb
bafons which the Seine forms between the three
principal bridges, pseiented the appearance Of
long draperies Of ERE. which multiplied their
briIliancy by the rejection of the water. The
Palace ofthe Government, that of the Legina-
tive Body, the buildings Of the Place de Ia Con-
corde, united by brilliant rows lights, feemed
to form but one monument. The weather was
more favorable than the fcafon, or than the pre-
ceding day gave reafon TO expeet. The moft
perfect tranquility rcigued during the whole
Fete.
