Newport, November 15.  Since our last arrived here the
Prince de Broglio, son of the Mareschal de Broglio, the
Count de Segur, Son of the Prime Minister of France, the
Count de Vaubn, with many other officers belonging to Count
de Rochambeau's army.  And on Wednesday evening, at Mrs.
Cowley's Assembly-Room, they gave a most elegant ball to the
ladies and gentlemen of the town.  The room was ornamented
in an exceedingly splendid manner, and by the judicious
arrangement of the various decorations, exhibited a sight
beautiful beyond expression, and shewed the great taste and
delicacy of Mons. Dezoteux, one of the aids of the Baron de
Viomenil, who had the directing thereof. . .
