PARIS, SEPT. 4. tlntirty, the 27th of August, ivai; a day of high festivity thoie of the Parisiani who had enough of resoltition to divorce themsefves for one day fiom the Cafe, and enough of money to venture e;;pedition of twelve mile's. The water works of Versailles were to play in honour of St, Froni eight in the morning the Qaai of the Tuileries was- crowded with parties, chief - F! English, trying sill their powers .to wit-wit the fiacre-tlrivers. But the sight of an English face always offers a temptation. to double prices, which a foreign trafficker feels it beyond his, power to fesist. , The fiacreis, aS every one knows, a tni T serabie conveyance;, and sucli as would .not he en doi:ed in any Nation less indolent and comfortlesS than the French. But th'ose who have seen it scouring through the streets. of Paris, with only its customary load of six, can have but an ex tremely diminished Lica of etrjoyments when stuffed with twelve on a roughly paved road; 'un der a br' , iling sun, and in the midst of clouds of dust that hide every thing of that sun but his fire. The road passes by the Pont de Jena, the htidge that Blucher threatened to blow up. The Pa risians still talk of that fearftii Vandalisme ; with some, it lay in the Prussian's determination to be gin a massacre on the Invalid's side of the Seine, for which the ruin of the communication - with the British troops in the Champs Elysees was a neces sary preliminary ; with others, it waS a rage to, deprive France•of a bridge which was - or ought to be a model for te world. The true cause, the tardiness of raising the contribution, has always escaped them. Yet the blowing • of this gl . ot'y of Paris would have inflicted do sacrifice on the ornaments of the City. It may have its architec!. tural fitness, but to the ordinary eye it is no more than a flat meagre causeway of five arches, short and narrow. The bridges of Paris are, with the exception of the Pont des Arts, a slight iron struc ture, only used by beggars and toylmeri, uniform ly contemptible.—The country now began to open, and to resemble England, for to this standard we .twust be perpetually turning for Landscape. .The Seine was a rivulet straggling through two banks of glaring sand, but the ground rose strikingly on either side, and from time to time a tolerable villa was seen opening out from among its shrub beries. About five miles from Paris, St. Cloud was pointed out to us, a village thickset upon a fine rise of wood, the palace standing separate, and commanding a view of the whole horizon. This spot was rich in names that we have been accus tomed to hear with interest. Mention, with its large white Chateau, was on the left ; the Royal Manufactory of Sevres, ovethanging us in front, and on the right the palace that had seen so much of the councils, and crimes, and imperial imlul gence,• and bitter regrets of Napoleon, At Sevres, though it was Sunday, we were admitted. This establishment has enjoyed the usual exaggeration of travellers. It has either suffered in its skill, which is improbable from the glorying which the French still attach to it, and ,from the distinction of the superior tendants, or it 'was only admirable at a time when porcelaine was confined to the Vuntinent. It contains performances - of great beauty, fine vases in imitation of agate, lapis lazuli Intl marble, biscuit groupes well executed ; Sets of china gorgeous in gilding and colour, but I have seen no English manufactory in which specimens of at least equal beauty *ere not to be found. One ‘vOrk was, however, unique round 'Fable, with the heads of celebrated Ancients, in tOmparttnents radiating trcim the centre. 'This was. certainly an extraordinary performance. The heads. had Almost the strongest effect of Cameo, and the ornanient§ of wreath, fcstoon, and masque, Were purely classical—the tout ensemble was a great spechnen of talent and ingenuity.—, Those thing had lately run the' haiardi of all tbings'else in France. A Prussian column at tached the heights of Mcudon. The engagement extended to Sevres.' Balls fell in the tnanufae.; tory, and at length the Prussians putt their oppo, nents to flight, and rushed in among those pre cious frailties. There was. no injury done. The conquerors spared the heads of so many Caesars and Tituses, sheathed their swords, and sat doWn to dinner with the family.—The road now wound by a nearly unbroken ascent through dilapidated villages, that shamed -the neighbourhood of the Innst os tentatious Court in Europe, and delightful sweeps of wood and cultivation, to VerSailles.---. Die Palace rose upon us at the end of 'tt stately avenue . Every dqing• in France seems to labour of finishing. • A n o ble. n ailer an impossibility aqueduct lets .out half of the u'ater'air its way.— A square , of which three-fourths areof Palladian elegance, takes into its remaining sid e a er „ w d of hovels. Th e p o l a i s Royale, one of the finest covps-d'ail afforded by the architecture of Paris, ;„ii.assivc titid nrlnificent; leas its time sides of booths: Tife Jete.de Cctrousa," a hut of rink, clogs, the " Wonderful Fat Wtltnan," the " PIICCS 7'ret i and a stand fOil inrkeent the proplineti,t feetureS of the " Riie Castiglion . c," the 0°67 of NaPol'cou's improve ments. , Versailles., an initnenSe pile, and not unworthy sk of the spirit of LouisAlV. is nearly inapproach-. able by carriaes froin the heaps of stone and mounds of sand, and . ;;atherings of every brancelhat can block up its ayetines.- , The, iote-, rior is Shewy: A multitude of rooms, highly or namented, -gildin g scattered with idle extrava , gance on every side, immense. mirrors, paintet'i . cielings, Marbles, all that belongs to prodigal Magnifieence, is to be found in the Palace. The grold gallery is )A,vista, loaded with ornament and emblems of the pr . Owess of LOniS . X.IV, But there is about the whOle building a general and utipleasing impression -of its -having been built for the uteri wonder of Sunday adMirers.

But the Gardens, the chef-d'oeuvre of Lenotre, t h e p r id e or th'e ".grandMonarque," the triumph of " all good Frenchmen," are only fit to put an eye of taste to the torture. snipes "(I its rrounds are the genuine produets, the (115 PlaY par extmellence, of (lank genius in 10(1- scope and architecture. Their virgin fanbies" have been here allowed their 1611 range, and their produce has been " enormous" absurdity. The glance from the terrace gives a Succession of in clined planes descending to a niqrsit. ' The- nearer space filled up with st u nted hedges in regular rank and file, little circuses of white sand, with basins of stagnant water:in the centre', draw off the eye at intervals from the trifled and curled shrub beries round them, and in the midst of the ba sins, groupes of dingy statues on time bare 'heads of water pipes, start up in 'perpetual squalidness. But crowds on crowds rolled down to find out something to be seen, and the general effect -of all those plimied, and helmeted, told coloured lines, forced to take the direction of so litany terraces and circles, was at least .picturesque. Those cr owds were chiefly Made up of strange Strangers, and among - them a great number of foreign Of ficers. The English uniform, though always the. worst in effect on a near \ view, from the peculiar ly lounging and negligent habits of our Officers, is. yet striking at a distance, and the stateliness, splendid ornament, n t, and novel costine of time various services that filled the walks with aspecti from the Equator to the Pole, gave then; the richest and Most variegated appearance that they could be ever hoped to have. About five, the fountains suddenly opened, and sheets of silver and snow, and sunny showers, were thrown up in the air. But these soon lost their attra.ction. Every hurn.n . ) being knew. at. what expence the machinery had been Snstained . , hoW vast a portion of French glorying had been imilt on those spouts of water, how long an in, terval this day's show must cost before water Was spouted there again, and to all came the cer tainty that all the resources of French art could uot keep hp the display for more thin three hours. 'rhe whole impression- was that of great Otpence .employed on an amusement scat'cely fitted to sus tain the curiosity of children, and §midetily and naturally ending in impotence and failure. The. preposterous style . of'the fountains was at hand to strengthen the conclusion. Taste turns away front a stupid acterript to cmh , *( l Y'Ote finer images. of fable in clumsy groupes, droWned in Jets of water;---delicacy can l'eet nopleaspre in the sight of, monsters vomiting streams from all their.aVer inres':- • There was but 'gile fotiniain on Which it waS possible to hiok with Any feeling of indol:- gence ;` a succession of plateanx, suiroundcd by marine figures, and with views on the sininnit.— Bursts of water front the lower circles rose - over the centre figure, 6iidden pauses left her billy rt sled. with..) light - Spray ; then strong arches shot , tip tram side td side, raiubowed in the sun-light; then a canopy swelled gradnallv.ratind, and closed at time top till the'goddess stood as if in a crystal shrine.

Tie part ol? . ..trantlet icptesented by Mr. Youkci, whose merits in this chattacter are too well known tbrequire any par., comment.; It may, howe'.:er, he hilly said, that ate» be has performed the part, he displayed no, symptoms of neglig'ence ; but, otr the con trary, by the preciSion which marked some ptts 7 sages, and the aniniation n bleb he threw inti 2 others, it seemed:evident that a sense of duty to the'Public, acid a laudable regard to his owti reputation, had indticed him to bestow a re-con sideration .on .thiS difficult and interesting chtiracter. He was much applauded On his en trance.; and in the more prominent situations.— Mr. BELLAmy, from the Norwich Theatre, made his 'debut as Polquitth. His performance was not successful, but his notion of the part shows, at least, that he thinks for himself. It seems ob.; Yiotts that POmins had been a wise, 'reflecting man, but that ltr bad fallen into some degree of dotage, and had too much of the servility usually imputed'to euurtiers. '1 lie . or eon- , tempt, wirlt.which Hamlet speal4s of him, is. not to be considered as the test of his character, for Hamlet is under the influence of strong feelings of revenge; however it may appear to be tningled with levity. , Besides, Poioni4tsis the follower o f it 'King whom Hamlet holds in abhorrence. There fore Mr. BELLAMY, if he di'd not succeed very \Yea in eXecut ion, deserves, at least, the praise Of a good design. As the audience did not ent r into his views, it is not surprising that his perform = ance was not very acceptable. Ophelia - was per- formed•by MISS MATHEWS, but by 1,0 umini with requisite simplicity. The Performers were libe rally greeted by the audience, in both Play :41 ) 4 Varce ; and besides YOUNG, EMERY', and others; in the Play, MATUE*S, BLiNtYnArtti; LrsroN, &c. Wren: received in the Farce with a cordial welcome. The exterior of the 'theatre, and its avenues w.ere brilliant with the Gas lights. The interior i§ bean fnlly embellished with the Rose,: the Thistle, and the Nu/FM . 6th, and other ornamentd appendpgeSi constituting a very agreeable' coup-Creet . he new curtain, partly representing drapery and partly architecture, is grand and • striking ; but we will not forestall the pleasure of the Ptiblic by a minute deScription of the whole of the interior aspect, which does credit to the taste and liberality of the PrOprietoi.i. The bowie was fully oeco pied, and theimrformance went olimbre smoothly than is usual on the opentig of the season. • CRITICAL ACUMEN. The Horning- Chronicle wishes, it wcittla appear, to distinguish itself as mhch by the truth and, justice Of its dramatic criticism as of its politics. In itS critiquerof the play of Hamlet, it Says, " Miss Stephens was most interesting in .her performance, of Ophelia. '. fi che appears to have suffered iii health, but the very delicacy of her appearance added to the senuctive swert• arse• of./ter voice, in the plaintive and 'wild melodies which. she 'ladle! sing:"'" The pzt•t of Ophelia te as perfoimed by Mist Mathews, who is therefore the "delicate" and health-impaired Miss STEPHENS of the Morning Chronicle;—but what ears must thi's Midas of a Critic have had, to mistake the melodiei of. Miss MATitnws for those of the Lady whose '' sedne., ti c sweetness" he has so erroneously eulogised ELoPE:ItENT trrE !—A young mAr.-. tri - etl Lady of rank, and highly distinguished in the fashionable circleS by her personal attractions, is. said to havb absconded from the neighbourhood of Berkeley-square, a few (lays since; in order to throw herself into the arms of the brother of an. Enghill Duke. A private letter from Path, speaking of the patniThlet intitletl, Des Rerci ctionaires et du Mi nistere actuel,' which has been seized at the print er's., by the agents of FOUCIIE, says, the author was preSent at the time, and so fur from being alarmed at the measure, he said to them with a bOld and manly tpirit, r ‘ You may, if you will. Mention the wri:er's ; it is ST. VICTOR, lam he." A few hours after, a friend of mine went to the. winter's to procure a copy, when a staff Offier of the King of Prussia came in, to pm . - Chase six copies for his master. The printer told him - , that the pamphlet had been seized, at which` he ttitpeared much disappointed, saying, " that the KINd liad perused it the preceding evening with great interest, and bad lost no time in send. iris; fut it,", Not a single copy, however, can now be-purchased; but FottcaE'§ attempt to extinguish the light of truth, will not succeed.
