Paris, June 27. His Majesty's equestrian statue was opened
on the 20th, amidst the acclamations of an innumerable
crowd, among whom the governor of Paris threw a large sum of
money on this occasion.  In the evening the whole square was
illuminated.  At the four corners of it were placed four
fountains of wine, which was given, together with bread and
meat, to the populace, who danced all night to the music
placed in orchestras erected at each fountain.
