FONTAII4E4EAU, JULY 28. This place is one of the cleanest in France—Frince, :he land of fragrant odours—and contains seven thousand souls. ' It is very retired, and seems a cheap and comfortable residence to the few English familie-, halt-i ay mike s. arias live here. Both w hir and are cheaper than in Paris. The. Palace con tains many tido) , &cot at•ei apartments, old t..pestty, and modern paintings ; together with two fine galleries, one of which has been Enished by Louts XVIII. as appears from several foimal inscrip tions, which likewise inform the ignorant spectator that it Was finished in the twenty-eighth year of his reign, in the year 1822. The apartment which excites the greatest interest is that wherein the late Emperor Name()); signed his abdication, in the presence of his Marshals. The identical table on which it was signed is preserved as a curious relic, and bears an inscription on a brass plate, commemorative of that important event. DIEPPE. JULY 29. The Frene' , here say there are nearly two thousand British in and about Dieppe. As a re.itience it is rather cheaper than Boulogne, where house-rent is particularly extravagant. It. the town, is nut indeed so clean ; but the smell from the harbour at low water, as well as from the ungrateful deposits in the street* emanating from the interior of the houses, renders the two towns pretty much on a par in that resprct. As a waterintplace, Dieppe has in some respects the advantage of Boulogne ; naturally an ad vantage, however, of which the inhabitants have nut availed them selves so much as they might have done. A - magnificent and ex tensive bathing establishment has been erected near the sea, under the direction of a Company, on a scale far exceeding any other thing of the kind, and proves a source of attraction to this part o f the coast; but their is tits such thing as a bathing machine em. ployed as at other places; the bathers wing a sort of swap canvass tent, or box, fur their sicommodation,placed at some distance from the sea—a most unsightly and uncomfortable kind of contrivance, especially on a hard pebbly beach. To the disgrace of the national character, I bear with concern that some British swindlers have been recently practising upon the unwary French at this place, and bate left the odium of their iniquitous proceedings behind them for the bessin of their fellow-countrymen. ROUEN, JUL? 30. Rouen, though a rich, bustling, and populous city, is not esteemed as a residence by the English, of whom there are not more than two hundrtd in and about the town. Theie is a great deal of trade with the North of Europe; but from the situa tion of the town and the narrowness of the streets, the heat of summer is insupportable. BOULOGNE, JULY 31. This pl4ce now ove►flows with English. Scarcely a fornished house is to be had at any price. Some of the houses have been let at double the usual rent. Provisions are very high meat 6d. a pound, bread l id. a quartern loaf, eggs .sd. a dozen. There is to be a Concert here on Nionday night, at which Made moiselle SOKTAG is to perform : there will also be an English 'Play at the Theatre, when the majority of the characters will be filled by amateur performers.—A man of the name of Murphy was taken ap here by the police last week, accused of passing bad sovereigns, and is now in gaol : another fellow-countryman was also appre hended for attempting to break into a goldsmith's shop inlioulogne, and is also lodged in gaol. What will become of these )rien is not yet known. BRIGHTON. Aug. 3. The public breakfast and fete, which has been an nounced for some weeks, took place yesterday ; bet was shorn of a tonsiderable part of its attractions by the very unfavourable wea ther.
