Paris, Aug. 5. The Queen gave a second naval feast the 23d
past, upon the great tract of water contiguous to the
Queen's garden at Fontainbleau. Her Majesty was in a gilt
brigantine with 8 oars, and the ladies of the palace in the
gondolas; and after having made several tours, they
approach'd the closet which is built in the middle of the
water, where the officers of her household attended with all
manner of refreshments. During her Majesty's being upon the
water, there was an harmonious symphony of instrumental and
vocal musick, which was plac'd in the galleries that inviron
the water.
