A considerable number of English nobility and ' persons of distinction still remain at Paris, although the greater proportion proceed to the South.

Mr. Grattan has gone on to the South ; Mr. Curran has returned to England ; his see, and gritty and accomplished daughter, remain here. Mr. Tierney and family have left us. Mr. Serjeent Best remains. Mr. Roscoe is constant in his attendance at the Royal Library, to which he has just presented his books, Lorenzo Medid, and Leo Me MA. Among the most eminent English artists who daily visit the Losivre, are Messrs. Owen, Watts, and Stewardson. There was a rumour last evening of an affiir wbkb was said to have taken place in the course (4 the day, between Marshal N—y and Lord Ca—ysf—rt ; the latter is reported to have received a hell in his arm.
