The 7th and 9Th Of September werc great holidays
in Braail-the former the day Of independence, the
latter feast and gala day. We left on the 9Th no

the officers who were in the Chamber, watching the
progress Of the bill, interrupted the proceedings Of

from that time to the 7th 1t gathered strength; and

stores, houses and other buildings, were crowded,
and every place which admitted sight Of the palace

can curiosity was on tptce, and the fne ship chand

American residents, and the officers Of the Ssvan-

The Emperor arrived at the usual hour, and with

But to return to the cause Of oil this excitement:

sustained continual running fire on ali sides. This,
