ofthe espionage and annoyance to which A-

son of the hatred and dread of Republicanism
tliere;cui'reut, says :
‘- I hope you will succeed in electing Gen.
Scott. not that I care much about your Home

it t.error to evil doors in this despot ridden re-
gion. Gt.-ii. bcoIt’s elevation to the 1’ residency

France is certainly most assiinilated to our

stable government, thereyappeais to be very
little pinching want, in the “rural districES”
especially, all seem to be employed about
something, and seem in the main, ‘sober, in-

tions of the Epowei-ful kingdom of the “Is-

quivering lips of ha,ll’fa_mished men, ivo-
iiien and i-liildren, ueyhave seen in puor,un-
fortunate Ireland canfully attest, In l_pas.s-
ing one of the military stations on the route
we saw some twelve or fifteen ' thousand
soldiers magnificently accoutred, and in full
their many drilling exercises. They were
fine looiklng men, as indeed are all in the
FI'1.'l'lCh army. Four /iztndrezi t/iousancl men,
arelihuske-pt in idleness by this government
at the expense of the poor 111:2:-payers, which
with the enormous stipends, pciisions and
salaries paid the thousand sprigs of royalty,‘
must of necessity, cramp: and sup the vital
energies oflany people. Here we saw old
bonny girls, with their bloomer hats and
skirts, and tempting limbs——sai2s the, panta‘
loous, busily engaged in gathering in the
prolific harvests, while allytlong the line of
the‘ road liundrcds of robust, vigorous mid.
dle aged men were loitering about in uni-
.uuifo«m. -Such is tlieksouth-east of France.
his a fact quite unaccountable to us, that in
these county localities, the peasants guzzle
without exhibiting-any symptoms of ‘intoxi-
cation. In fact we observed a lady‘ on the
Rbine, who dined near us, who emptied two
bottles. (holding ue-are quari,) with as iuuch
sang froirl as if it were milk, and a gentle-
man at our left aclually despoiled fim-r bot-
tles of their contents, ivitiiout the least ap-
pearance of intoxication. This beverage
called "vine ordinarc,” and is the same as is-
sold at our first class hotels for $1,255" per
bottle, and one bottle warranted to make you
drunk. When new its taste is much like
our new cider, and is quite as harmless, but-
by the time it getslto the States, it undergoes
some mysterious operation, sufficient to rob
a man of his reason, even when taken in
coinpuratively hointepatliic doses. In fact
the traveller sees no intoxication like our
drunkenness. We have sccti many stagger-
ing drunk, but in feeling and action, he
seems an entirely different animal, on this
side of the water. But tnore of this at an-
other time. The subject, however suggests
proved interesting had it progressed much
farther, and which it may not be amiss to re-
late. Be it known then, that for two long
days we had not found the first man, woman:
or child, who could speak English, and for a
much longer period had our eyes been de-
nied the luxury of a pretty female face. even
such as are most common on all our great
public ihoi'oug'h-fares. W lien the grottp of
stolid faces which surrounded us, was enli-
vened by the presence of as fairy 11 form as
ever encased a woman’s heart. . She entered
ihecar we were in and planted fliers-elf di-

never seen anything half so beautiful. She

upon him who invented bottles, and could
have kicked the first vender of the ugly wares

began to rise rapidly again, and we liadquite
forgotten we were a Benedict, when out came
the ugly-thing a second time, from the un-
mentiouable place; and up it went to those
pearly teeth! Suffice to say, that a prolong-
ed swig sent the mercury down so low that
it never rose:.agairi l VVB soon after landed
in -Paris, iiben, locating ourself at a good
"Hotel, we sallied forth in the great modern
Babylon to see the. “Elephant.” -The city
is situated on the v river Seine, which runs
from East to West, much like London on the
Th-ai"nes. Its form is about circular and some
15 males in circumference, containing 1,200
000 inhabitants. The view from Napoleons
Monument is very beautiful and well repays
the visitor for the severe labor of the high
ascent, The city is divided into I2 parishes,
with its principal church and numerous sub
chapels. The streets and boulevards are
beautifully lighted every evening, and on
stimebftheni they present an unbroken row
for two or three miles and resemble an in-
terinihable stream of fire. The most lively
streets are ‘the Rue Si. Honore, where is the
Ifolel cle Lille cl At‘!/‘io7r,a very popular house
with Americans, and where we found seve-
ral gentlemen from Connecticut, and a faint-
ly from Providence, R I. who were spending
the summer in Paris. It is the city of all
others this side the water where American
‘tastes, American manners and American go-
a-hcad-aliveness finds its counterpart. “mile
in everything truly English, all is plethcric,
stolid, cool and calculating-so in everything
truly French, a‘l is‘ vivacious, sprightly,"
impulsive,open and generous q'iiiclznvss.+
In a place like -Paris‘ iiivlil be of couse im.
possible for us to note all the objects and pla-
ces of importance which might interest the
home reader, or which :-hould be seen by the
visitor. but we will report in order asbric;-fly
as possible the most im portant points of attrac-
'tion» we found time‘ to visit. Commencing
with the principal places, we would
mention the Place Royale’, or "dos Vosges, :1
square with 39 r'c-gul-my built houses, orna-
mented with an equestrian statue of Louis
XIII , and four fountains. The Place des
Victoires, containirig in the centre the eques-
trian statue of Louis XIVI The Place Ven-
dome, near tbeI'l‘uillei'ies, in the midst ofihe
most beautiful part ofthe city, and ornamen-
ted with 8)5pl€l)(ll(l. pillar called the Vcmlome
Pillar, 134 feet high and 1?. feet in diameter,
surmounted on its summit by the statue of
Napoleon, from the top of which is obtained
a splendid vieiv ofthe city. Place de la Bas-
tilc, in the centre 0fll.Vl’ll'('l1 is the ‘memorable
pillar of July 1830. The key of this prison,
was presented to Washington. by Lafayetie,
‘and is now to be seen at his old mansion at
Mcunt.Vernon. Place de la Concorde, or
Louis XV., the most. beautifully situated of
all the squares, in the form of an octagon,
tastefully ornamented with statues, fountains,
and obi-lisk of red graiiite (the Obelisk of
Luxor,) a curios uieinorial of the ancient
grandeur of Egypt. It is ‘one of the two pil-
Thebes (the modern Lnxor,) ‘where it was
years before the birth ofChrist, and whence
it was brought to Paris at great expenée.—-
It is formed’ from a single block of i'ed"syenité,
75 f'eei,in' height, and "covered from its base

The Reservoir‘ opposite St". Gervais,- or
Romainville Fountains, for the suburbs of
St. Martin and St. Dennis. The Reservoir
de Belleville serves tbel-lospital St. ‘*Louis.
The Reservoir d‘Arcueil is 592 metres long,
and supplies thirteen fountains and many
houses in the town. The Reservoir de Cen-
ture forcastbe water out of the Ourcq Canal
into the town at the north side of the Seine,
in a direct line through the Boulevards from
the Barrier St. Martin to Monceaux; it is
9,500 metres in’ length. -The Basin de la.
Villcite, at the Ba~rr.ier de la Villette, forms
the harbor of the Oureq Canal. The Basin
of the Arsenal, capablebf holding 7'0 to 80
large vessels, at the canal of St. DenniS.--
Ainongsl the various hydraulic machines in
the town, the one at the -‘Bridge of Notre
Dame is worthy of notice. Among the pub
lic fountains in Paris, the best are thoseron
the Place dc-la Concorde, the Boulevard du
wt,-mple, in ‘the Ric-l'.eli£u‘Place, and’al:
the end of the Rees Richelieu and Trav-
ersicre. The Arlesian Vi"e'll de Grenelle
which was from 1834 to 1841 in being
made, and is 1650 feet in depth. We visit-
('(l this well with Dr. Evans and his amiable
lady and procured a small “rock” which
came from over 1000 feet below the surface.
The Water "Filtering Esiablislitnent, No. 24,
Qualdins‘ Celestins, is also well worth see‘
ing. Of the churches, the Cathedral of No‘
ire Dame, is a very noble pile of ‘building,
erected in the 12-h century. It has two ma-
jestic towers. Tbethreel principal *'entr"en-
ces are finely carved, from subjects out of
the New Testament. The colossal bell in
the tower, called Le Bourdon, weighs 322
cwt. It is only rang on state‘ occasions, re-
quiring the labor of sixteen ‘men. There
are some most beautiful paintings and mag-
"ificent carving in the choir, which :is sup-
ported by 1‘20'massive'pillars, and the gal-
ierey by 297 pillars. "The floor is of mar-
ble. The altar is most magnificently car-
ved, and here are placed the" statues of Lou-
is XIII, and XIV. In a niche there is a
beautiful marble‘ group, representing the
Descent from the Cross. There are also 45
chapels filled with monuments,’ in the some
manner as at lVestminstei' Abbey.l_' The
charge forasceriding the tower is 20 cents,
from which there is a delilghtful ’prospeet.—-
