The details of the fetes at the Palace of Compiegne, and the deseri; of the brilliant toilettes there displa: oe and — fair are the which occupy the gossi; correspondents of the Savign ond French journals. Among the magniffoent costumes noticed, there are a variety of new tissues and styles unrivalled in taste and splendor. Robes of a plain colored ground, some green, others blue, white, 4c . with flounces decorated with che- nille i relief. The skirts are often composed o€ only two flounces, the second gathered at the waist, thus giving the appearance of s double skirt. The C an velvet is e mate. rial composed of cross stripes of bleck velvet between which is en imitation guipure; the stripes of about a finger’s breadth, are brought ovt in relief; the skirt is without flounees. The corsages and sleeves of these robes are decorated with « quantity of Tecman’s mag- nificent laces, either point d’Bruxelles, point d’ Angleterre, or the new becoming vandyked blonde lace—other silks have flounces covered with what is called black /ong-piled velvet, raised in figures end surmounted by rich fringes woven in the stuff. This material is indescribably rich. The gold and silver moire antigue, with bouquetts of bright colors bro- caded, are in great favor. Beautiful head dresses accompany these t.ilettes The wreatha /a Pa is com- posed of a broad circlet of leaves, which lies fiat all around the head, and from beneath them hang the flowers in light clusters, de- scending low upon the neck and covering the ears; these clusters diminish in size as they approach the head This wreath may be made in various kinds of small fruit berries ; that of fern leaves and blue bells {s extreme! pretty and becoming The Neapolitan coi/- fure mixture cf black guipure lace but- tons, and scarlet flowers, and is only adapted for married ladies who are not in the frst bloom of youth. Younger dames wear bou- quets of rose buds, or full blown roses mized with blonde and having long tulle barbes The prettiest models for winter bonnets which Madame A/phonsine has displayed, are those of dark velvet, stretched plain over the foun- dation, decorated with frizzed feathers, of the same color as the velvet, tipped with black These feathers are laid on flat, near the edge of the front, where there is a black lace form- ing a fall The Clartssa Harlows bonnet is composed of white satin, ornamented with fringe, tassels and buttons. A few others for for young Indies are a mixture of silk, drawn lengthwise by string cases, and forming a kind of point on the top of the head. Bonnets of sky-plue, white, or pink terry velvet sre trimmed with flowers and feathers Others, again, are composed of rows of velvet and blonde, or of tuf ed velvet For walking and visiting toilette, thedresses made with pences (ornaments down each side of the front,) are adopted in preference to any other style of trimming. The ground is plain of these robes, and is of a dark color: deep blue, imperial green, marroon, or grey There are two widths reserved on each side of the skirt, which have bands of velvet woven in the staff and arranged as ornaments There is a great variety of fancy tissues for undress, either entirely woollen or mixed with silk; woollen and silk popiins, African velvet, dro- quets. terry velvet, velvetines, tufted grounds, +o. Caracos for indoor wear, both velvet and silk are much worn This little garment is warm, comfortable and elegant, oon- venient; in form they mark the figure with- out fitting tight, and the trimmings are erally passementeries, ribbons and pei t buttons The close fitting jackets are trimmed pro- fusely. Some have berthes, others reverse forming braces. Those of cloth are the only ones worn without trimmings, and these are sometimes decorated with several rows of hanging buttons on the body; the binding is generally a galloon turned over. The waist must be shaped by three plaits behind from the back to the skirts, which should be rather loose on the hips ‘The corsages of dresses are made very high, and are ornamented on the back, as as in front, with rows of galloon or velvet bands erranged in the ladder style. Sometimes, on the back, these bands are put all round the neck, representing a pelerine. This trimmi has a very pretty effect with fancy galloons two colors. Sleeves are formed of two puffs and a ruffle, or three ruffles. The ci sere sleeves, with large turned up cuffz, comin, down to within four inches of the wrist, a1 eut equare, are very comfortable for cold weather, and suitable for half dress Jeweled clasps are worn, for mantles, cloxke and shawls. Those of massive gold or silver are very solid, and form a handsome pin with which to fasten the outer garments The metal is often enamelled ; those of coral are often n All ornaments of coral are much the fashion; with a white toilette, a coral wreath for the hair, and a bougwet de are beautifal and very becoming orna Tuappevs Koscivsse —Dauring the Ameri can struggle fur independence, Wash 2 was greatly embarrassed by the arrive ot foreign officers, who expected nothing less than one of the highest posts in the army, and frequently, when seceptel, proved un- worthy of the stations assi, ned to them Ex perience of this kind led Washington to beex- ceedingly cautions in receiving foreign off. cers into the service.

His subse- quent noble and gallant career as an officer in the American service is well known, and has inseperably joined his name with that noble struggle to which we owe our present exalted sank as 5 nation.
