Some years have glided over my head since I have been" under Louis-Philippe's roof; but, as those who have been admitted into his society of II late assure me that time has wrought no change in him, you may accept former reminiscences as drawn to the present life. He is of full stature, strongly built, and of portly appearance, though by no means what would be termed corpulent. His hair is dark and luxuriant; his visage round of form, and brownish of tint : his features have more of the southern cast about them than those of any other member of his family. and, th sharply turned, are pleasing in expreision: he dark eyes, and their look is lively and penetrating :' his smile is rendered still more winning from its betokening manifestly the possession of a firm and cheerful temper of mind. The tout ensemble of the outward man (in which I met not omit to. notice the manner of wearing hair) conveys a com plete idea of the soldier, whose earlier youth has been passed under arms ; but there is a military freedom of deportment about him, which is per fectly in harmony with the dignity of his station. His language is full of brevity and firmness. lie has always been forward in evincing his esteem for the more distinguished of all parties, among his fellow-countrymen. He has not only much expe rienced in military affairs (having derived a means of livelihood from active service for no inconsiderable time) but is well versed in the arts of peace ; and he left every other of the Bourbon family far be hind in promoting science and industry on his na tive soil after the restoration. As that of one of the most affluent princes in . Europe. the court of the Duke of Orleans was kept up with becoming splendour and dignity, yet it was always distin guished by a system of UOUlaUld regularity in its arrangements. I have frequently formed part of a throng, to which every individual, down to a cer tain sphere in life was freely admitted. Whether as placed at the head of his domestic affairs, or as superintending the excellent education which hit children have enjoyed, Maria Amelia of Naples,. his consort, has eleVays stood distinguished for her indefatigable attention aqd discerning judgesdiatt indeed, she has been quite as much the favon4Ml with every one,'frons the obliging cbeerfulniiiiel her manners, as Louis-Philippe has been, front bile' manly and condescending deportment.* * • I well remember the forenoon of the 20th of March, 1816. A rumour of the king's departure the preceding night had collected an immense seep course in the court and gardens of the Tuilleries„, as well as on the Piece du Carousel. I was at that time in that part of the palace which ie called the " Ptrilion de Flora ;" and was standing in the saloon on the ground-loor, ' amidst a throng of courtiers. Monsieur (now the ix- king; Charlie, the Tenth) was one of the number. To all outward appearance, he seemed quite at his ewe, and was conversing with several present, who were kissing his bands and weeping over them, whilst he wee chatting with all that lightsomeness of heart which is peculiar to him. He did not appear to pay the least attention to the confusion and uproar which were going forward out of doors. On a sudden our ears were assailed by hundreds of voices, crying out " Orleans I long live Orleans !" and this in so audible a tone, that Monsieur, (though be did not break off the conversation,) slowly, and; as it were, undisguisedly turned his bead towards the spot frog; which the cry proceeded. Immediately afterwards we beard the duke repeatedly exclaiming, in his ener getic manner, " Not Orleans, but the King, long live the King ;" Ind, in another five minutes, the duke entered the saloon, went up to the prince, made a low obeisance to him, and addressed him; , in an under tone of voice. Monsieur replied, in an equally low accent, but with a melancholy sort of smile, though with his usual grace and dignity. Whilst Charles continued to receive the condo lences of those near to him, Louis Philippe wee taking leave of several of the officers present; his voice was firm, and his manners cheerful ; some be' shook hands with, and others he embraced. There has seldom been a man whale exterior has carried about it so little of the ambitious cour tier as Talleyrand's ; and I know scarcely another, individual whose extraordinary intellectual endow. ments are associated with so Unfavourable an im pression as accompanies this statesman's cast of features ; he is notoriously mishapen, and besides this, lame of one font; his countenance indicates deep design, and gives the idea of sinister views I rather than of the nobler speculations ofthe states man—and this, even on those occasions *here his whole soul is at work upon topics *Lich are of momentous interest to hi ot. His manners Are far ' from elegant, and the tone of his "voice is not agreeable. He has a habit, when he is in con versation, of kneeling upon a chair, and rocking himself in that rosture. It war a most extraordinary ' scene to see this peculiar personage, in his tn courtier-like attire, wandering about in the saloon's of Vienna in the year 181'4. among the most dis ! tinguished diplomatists of Europe; and asiociating with men, many of whom weth not only eminent for rank and talent, but admi-ed for , their 'personal endowments and gorgccus frspping4; yet,* be So Completely engrossed every on e attention, that he slimed to be the pivot on which the' Whole Party ;evolved.

The weather has been most delightful, and the course is sell in the finest order.

It was. to he sure, a trimmer. Frequent as spring frosts are in this climate, it is seldom we meet with one so sharp and severe Not only the young stems of potatoes were seared up, *defile common enough, but., the shoots of forest frees. evergreens as well as deciduous, and, in fact, every thing that was tender and succulent through out the range of 'vegetation, was cut down " at one fell swoop." It found the earth and its pro. ducts saturated with moisture, which aggravated the intensity of its effects. Soon after this frost, dry, but not warm weather succeeded, and the general character of the subsequent part of tbs month has be. n dryness, with winds chiefly front the eastern or north-eastern quarters. The period has been highly favourable for cleaning fellows, and eradicating that mat of weeds with which se- veral wet seasons have overpowered them ; and if, in some situations, the contnued drought has re tarded the sowin of early t snips, in others season able and sufficient showers have given a good op portunity for performing that essential work of husbandry. Inked, it is impossible to give any description of the weather for some little time post that will be generally applicable. Showers have sailed about with more than usual partiality and capriciousness, so that in one parish, or even on one farm, they have descended. imparting moist ure and friability, while, on the adjoining one, the fellows have exhibited a surface of clods bound up in drought and harshness. The rearward portion of barley itowing,which circumstances occa sionally protract into the early part of May, was difficult and laborious ; yet, on the whole. it was more possible to force cultivation on the stubborn soil, which had been trodden and poached with sheep, under a continuance of dry weather, than it would have been cif showers had rendered it tough and sticky. It is said, indeed, that in some districts in Norfolk, a d of the West, no rain has fail, a since April, and that in some of tines parts the late sown barley has perished in the ground. This, however, is a partial occurrence ; the light, chalky, add" thin, soiled brows, have frequently suffered from the depredations of the wire-worm ; but, with these exceptions, the barley is looking well, and has suffered less injury from ths severe frost than could have been expected. Oats, on soils of sufficient strength and staple, are looking well; but, as they are not unfrequently trusted on inferior land, not thought worthy of having other • crops confided to it, they are not strong in soils of this description, which possessed not the power of carrying them forward through the harsh dry wea ther which has prevailed in many parts of the king dom. Wheats, on the sound plands, are pretty generally looking healthy, with a full plant ;' in deeper soils, of a wetter naiu.o, there are some irrecoverable failures from sing and wire -worm, and stagnant moiiture at the root during the win ter. But on the whole, the prospect seems gad, r and the late sown Tad sera wheats hare of late grown rapidly 'and •Iniufantly. Forwsrd • beans and peas' west, injured by the frost—in some in stances to a'serioui degree, but for the most part they are now recovering.. There is nothing that has experienced so conaidei ab'.e damage as the up land held gross, etipeciallSr in situations where little 'or no - rain him fallen skies the beginning of the Month ; indeed, the c op of grass, with 'partial exception's,* is thin and weak ; and even the present rainy, which have now been pretty eatens:ve, too late to produce a generally abundant bay harvest. Early turnips and Swedes are every where sowing, where no oppor tunity has hitherto occurred of putting them into the ground, and the practice of drilling them with crushed bones, or rape cake, would be very gene rally practised, did not the high price, and actual scarcity of the latter article, prevent the poist.i bility of procuring it on reasonable, and in some cases, on any terms whatsoever. Hops are reco vering from the attack made on them by thefrost at the beginning of the month, by Which, as might be expected, the tender bine suffered much injury; but another enemy has succeeded, in the fly, whose periodical attacks the hop has an nually to encounter, and whose incursions are perhaps now the more to be dreaded him the state of the bine being rendered weak and languid by the frost. Warm days and nights, however, may enable the hop to shake off its invaders, and drown the embryo hosts deposited in its substance in a swelling flood of sap. There has been sorae reduction in the price of grain during the month. but not so much as might have been expected in the face of our large importations of wheat; Iw deed there appeals at present some symptoms of a re-advance. The trade in barley hes at this season but little extent or activity; but good oats continue to maintain their price. Store' stock in' general has experienced Some advents ;* but, owiug to the dry weather and harsh winds, which checked the growth of gross food, a correspond ing check occurred in the demand for haw stock, which a' period of mild growing weather will pro bably ovevcome. Useful and valuable horses of all descriptions are in demand!, and command con siderable prices ; and the same mill* said of good milk cows, and of good kine in general, Smithfield Market has receded ; but throughout the country there seems to be little or nodiminu tion in the price of fat atock,orin that of butcher.' moat.
