Monday being the anniversary ofthe birth of his Most
Christian Majesty, Lewis the XVIth, the vessels in the
harbour were decorated with union flags--thirteen rounds
were fired from many of them, as also from the state
artillery, at the Coffee-house.  The bells were rang; and in
the evening the city was entertained by a most brilliant
display of fire-works, from a stage erected before the door
of his Excellency the President of the State. . .
