FACTION ALL AROUND.
The French officers are to be congratulated upon
having enjoyed a series Of days such as the
month OF June seldom produces In New-1orh'
| for the severe labors which they nave
| been called upon TO undergo Yesterday tne
sun shone auspicously upon the meeting between Au.
miral Lacombe and his Excellency the Governor OF
| NewYork, while the 9TH Regiment, In the glory Oh
white duck trousers and brass buttons gave additoh
soemnity to the occasion. Governor Hill had hVteu
the Admiral to visit the State camp az feek''
| kill and the Police Commissioners had placed inc
police steamer Patrol at the Admiras disposal 80 IL
is happened that the Admiral and few OF his ocers
enjoyed soil up the Hudson under perfect SKY rc

ernor by the hand and were trea'eu "
| the glorious spectacle OF dress P"i'
OF the gallant 9TH. party which left the foot Oh
West Tweny-sccond-st on the Patrol, was not large
one For the first time since the Frenchmen have peenVs
tors in ladeswero included among the guests
II would be hard to say whether the greater curoSy
existed among the American women TO meet tue
officers OF among officers to Judge with their own
eyes OF the American women Yesterday the curiosl'
on both sides was satisfied and the results were graty
ing all around. Officers and ladies' re'urhou
10 the city highly satisfied with each other, ana
thoroughly convinced that the satisfaction was mutual
The Admiral certainly the most gallant Oh tho
officers and his attentions to the iadies
on board the Patrol might have caused ilutter In
several moherly hearts were 1t that the Admiral is
a married and has gray hair. He himself however
considers neither OF these facts as bar TO MS ga'
pretcnsions. or his family he says "oh' you
know they are far away and have not the time 10
think about them" OF his gray hairs he says nothing
but he wears them in sprghtly a manner that IL IL
easy to to see that they indicate anything rather than
old age All the ladies' were anxious TO know about
La Flore, which they seemed to regard as tho Aumr
ais peculiar love. LA FlOre" said the Admiral IN
reply to questions with which he was Piled "sJust
having her toilette made, just MS you ladies make
your toettes But bye bye she will have her best
dress on and then you shall all come aboard and visit
her" Although Admiral Lacombc was the most devoted
of all the officers, the others were not lar
behind him. and the time passed pleasantly IN
what Consul Bruwaert called "neertin9" whie
the Patrol made her way the Hudson.
