28 AUGUST 1852, Page 6

Strange to state, the Imperial fête of the 15th of

August was cele- brated at Gibraltar ! The fleet of Admiral Dundas, says the Moniteur of yesterday, were dressed out with flags (pavoisee) at the same time. "The French flag waved from the main-mast of each of the British ships. At twelve o'clock a royal salute of twenty-one guns was fired from the Admiral's ship. The course adopted by the British squadron produced the greatest and happiest effect on the morale of the population.'
