The English government with an uprrhtncss

the complaints of Spain on the subject of
the insulting conduct of the commander of the

its cruiser, has Just noJiy confirmed IN crjtng ttai
declarations end in a manner, the most satisfacTory In

THE NAVAL FETES OF CHERBOURG.
From the Special Correspondent Of the London Tines
CHERBoURG, Sunday, Aug. l. 1858
The name of this old Norman town and harbor
is, probably, at this moment better known than its
exact position. Railway companies and steamboat
proprietOrs-those posters of the sea and land-are
UOubtIpSS nj with thair
ness to convey half the community to the Imperial
Fetes, and Cherbourg, with tickets for the VOYAGE
and return, is familiar to all eyes large let
ters can make it. But if n considerable section
of the intending excursionsts asked if they
knew exactly whittier they were going, could they
give precise answer? Calais and BoulOrne the
public know as the gates through which pour the
streams of English travel; but Cherbourg is more
distant,it is not port of arrival departure; it
is not on the road to Paris anywhere else: it has
great trade like Havre. If visited at ALL it has
been visited for ITSELF and the experience of
those who attempted friendly look in has not been
happy. That party pleasure seekers at least re-
turned without much acquired knowledge of the
localities. Authority will perhaps be better in
structed on the present auspcious OCCASION but as
any hitch in the machinery of passports may keep
thousands atloat, slight sketch of what they may
possibly not see may be useful
