From the Paris A-la-main, Feb. 14. The day before yesterday
the peace was proclaimed in all the publick places, with the
solemnities usual upon the like occasion. Yesterday Te Deum
was sung in the metropolian church of this city, and in this
evening a very fine firework was played off, which without
question was best executed, as well as the most beautiful in
itself, that was ever seen here. Bread, and several kinds
of meat, was distributed to the people, according to what
was formerly mentioned: and the fountains also ran with
wine. All the streets in general were illuminated. The
grand illuminations upon the front of the Hotelle de Ville
were wonderfully magnificent.
The French and Italian comedians gave a play gratis, as a
testimony of their joy on the publication of the peace. . .
