THE STREETS tAF LONDOM UR. EDITOR.--Y :Ur Readers in general at% pretty well acquaintel with the manners the Me tropolis Jisplayol in the streets 1,11 ,1, n, yet you will perhaps consi.:er certain , tuteils I.lll,lishul in the Gazette t: France of th,: 13th inst. onsubject, rather amusing. 'll2 writer, it apvears, left 1). ris a few t. eels since, to scrutiniz,: Oi leitits and be haviour of Jahn to descent oviii his debriaity, awl hes: i.ritiae where it is thie. fur ha has faithfully uischarsed that tusk, your intelligent. readers ju 'se. The writer lies headed his letter " Les rues du Londres." Ile says—" The first thing that strut!: n.;?. in my walk throughout the metropolis of England, was a thick stoolc from sea-coal, whicli obscured the sky. This affected my throat in a tlisah-reeable manner. The English are not sensible of the same inconvenience, because habit has reconciled them to it. All the English, without distinction, us., this combustible ; the fire of which is wore equal, ar dent, and lively than any other. If it was inju rious to health, the rich would expel it from their houses. I walked over the pave, not kvowing where I went. Every street was indifferent to me, because all that I wished to we, au , l all that was presented to me, hail the appearance of no velty. I read the names of the streets, and viewed the sli.ps and equipages with an air of astonishment. In less than twenty minutes I arrived at Piccadilly, covered with dust, having been jostled by at least a thousand persons, who forced me to wake way quicker than I wished. The English, and particularly those born iu London, are as rank badaubs (Cockneys) as the Parisians ; but 1 must do them the justice to admit, that they do not show their cockneyism in any thing so much as their public pleasures and diver sions. Business is the leading feature of an Eng lishman's character. He goes out in the morning to transact matters of trade or commerce, and he does not expect to meet in the street one idle per son. Front ten in the morning to three in the after. noun, every body is busy. The man who walks out between those hours from curiosity only, is un. fortunate. He is pushed rudely by all he meets. Every one knows how to use his elbows and his firsts. They allow no time ti)r excuses. They dis pense with civility in the streets as superfluous, own I was astonished to find the people of Lon don in that respect nut so ridiculous us the Pari sians cast my eyes upon a great street half built, which appeared to be composed of magnificent ho tels. I asked an Englishman to tell me the name. He answered Waterloo, anl supposing I did not understand him, repeated the word. the English have multiplied that word in a singu'ar manner. They have rinsed many monuments to its glory. They have Waterloo Bridge, ‘Vatcrloo-place, Wa terloo-house, &c. &e. We have in Paris similar instances of baptisms. We have had Places de Jennuapes, of Fleuris, and of Wagram. The bridges of Austerlitz and Jena, the Barriers of Marengo, Lodi, payola, and Arcole streets. Piccadilly is one of the most brilliant streets of the English capital. It is a fashionable street, having at its extremity the two fine promenades, the Green Park and Hyde Park. 'I he hotel of Lord Burlington is remarkable for taste and ele fance---it would do honour to a French architect. wo doors modestly open in the English style, at the residence of the Marlborough of tSIS. If a crowd of lazy servants, in livery, indicate the abode of a great man, we may look in vain tiir him here. Curio ity made me enter the h a ll of this palace. which I had been told, contained the finest chefs d'eauvres of art. There must be many, since the proprietor has placed one the finest works of Canova, the statue of Buonaparte, tiirinerly in tended for the Salle de Alareellaux, at the foot of the staircase in that part of the hotel, appropriated to servants. This want of taste struck me with disg ust. I did not expect to find other of jects of :art better ar ranged, and t lett the hotcl. A short tlistatiLe titan this illustrious Palace, I tinind Albemarle -street, and the modest hotel, oceuried by Louis the Eigh- teenth, when the wishes of France called him to the Throne of his Ancestors. Here he remained after he lett Hartwell—here he was saluted by the ac clamations of a tree people at the niment he pro ceeded to give liberty to Franoe--here a deputation from the Citizens of London came to otter their ho mage to the grandam of Louis the Fourteenth. It was one o'clock, and I had taken no other refreih ment than some tea and rolls (slices of bread and butter) ! I saw persons passing about ate, catini, fruit in a wicker basket. I wet an Englishman, who lodged in my hotel ; he informed rue that I was in New Bond-greet, and that it was the cul t. of England, at that hour, to take what ht culled a lunch. He told me if I entered the shop of the first pastry-cook, I should be sure to bud not reties! :Lunt, but the best company in London. 31:i Tlrc persons who ortinri,litetl the ;wive T. ere ket th same time men of high oistiretion. lers nt'th e Cominoli., Pc_rs of the Arabi], mil Ladies of ae lint class; the latter in pl,ia dresses attended by f otmen in splendid liveries.

They have been removed to build the Circus of Waterloo, the walls of which being white, arc covered by inscrip lions written by the canaille of London. The Prince may open his window and cast his eyes upon the devices which convey ideas of liberty. Upon the walls of the palace of the future sovereigns or England appear in large characters, not two paces from the c4,atinals on guard.—" Long live Sir Fran cis Bortlet‘"—" Burdeit and liberty"—Liberty or death." rizo.

I I, says—" The severe mea sures employed by our Government have not wholly suppressed the signs of public hatred against the Jews. The military were compelled on Tuesday last to fire upon the mob, but no person was woun ded. Neil-1y all the windows of the houses inhabi ted by Awe' have been broken. One of that sect, well known as a money-lender, in his attempt to leave the city, was taken out of his carriage in open day, and so cruelly attacked with stones, that he is said to have died shortly afterwards. On the other hand, the punishment of the persons who have been detected in these tumults has been extremely severe. .1 lawyer's clerk, convicted of having headed a par ty which emerett the house of a Jewish merchant, and cast ail his furuiture and merchandise into the street, has been euralemued for life to imprisonment and hard labour—a sentence worse than death itself. Scarcely a day passes that tevolutionary placards are not posted at the corners ot• the streets, exciting the people to acts of hostility against toe Govennucot.
