Correspondence Of the Herald j


out for mvself for the purpose of giving you some
idea of festival which recently came of here,
called the Fiesta Reales, in honor OF Queen lsa-
bella IL. being declared of age.
The people had long been preparing for this great
event, and had stood on tptoe for month at least,
| as if to foresee its coming. II at last arrived The
day that ushered it in was beautiful, lovely, divine,
| and the populace turned out en- mds~ and paraded
the street, The military also appeared, and !
must say, gave high hopes of a salutary reform in
| that department. Their gallant and elegant COM
mander, Cruz Romero whom have long had the
honor OF knowing, and whom have ever found TO
be the most perfect model of a soldier and gentle
man, and worthy Of the many crosses and decora-
tons he wears, appeared in elegant Uniform, and
with his fine Moorish sabre and manly bearing
threw such dignity around his Office that look
| ed an honor TO be commanded by HIM.
| The second and third days, Uor there three
| of them,O were alike pleasant and agreeable, and
| full of life and merrlment and hllaniy. public
dinner was given, and also ball. The streets and
pLa Gas, and public buildings, were ornamented with
| flags, paintings garlands Of flowers, &c, &c; In
the square of San Francisco was erected large
arch, highly decorated, and over which on one
side was placed pair Of scales, 10 Indicate justice,
| and on the opposite side globe-two things the
people here are as entirely PERFECTLY Ey gaoTant n OF

there is always the most display Of ITS embems! Il

Tells here during the three days Of the Fiesta
Reales for do you think that the authorities stuck
upon a pole or table a cap of the Queen, and made
every one take off his hat as he passed II? am

enough to submit to the degradation

down a nice wooden floor TO dance on. II is
carpets if it is possible TO do so, when there. TO

| thing great and unequalled, and not knowing any
thing of the rest of the world, make the most rdl-
culous plumbers you can possibly imagine in their
attempts at refinement. In one part OF the room
was seen five six fat, very fat, old women, seat
ed in chairs, which were tipped back against the
wall, smoking away as unconcernedly as II they
had been bashaws, or rather bashaws wives IN the
very harem, while their fair daughters excuse the
| expression, for there were many there with whom
| a Southern man would not remain in n ballroom

have dignitled with the unqualified and unequivocal
title of muatoes,) were twlrlng away through the
