JOURNAL OF A TRIP 'lO PARIS. N. X~> [ Y. ) Perf:r, S7tuidcr/ 30. to my last I intimated my intention, of giving Volt some description of the Jardin des Plantes, ,justly esteemea by the Parisians as one of their greatest ornaments. To . enrich Mi.§ Museum, the rights of other nations have not been violated, nor spoils ravished from publie.Or private property, at mice to enrich and disgrace •the country in Which they were collected together. Bounteous Nature has supplied these stores, and admiration is OceiN . (l, and instruction offered;• from sources not polluted with rapine and blood, nor procured at the heavy expence of the disregard of every di vine precept, and the breach of every human duty.* This Garden and Cabinet of Natural History was originated (Anno 1636) in the reign of LOUTS XIII. by his Physician, GUY DE LA BROSSE--the celebrated TDURNEFORT augmented it by his con tributions, and the great Naturalist BUYFON was its zealous head, and the ardent promoter of its success. Aided by such talents, it has become a splendid repository for all that is curious and rare in natural history. I spoke perhaps too decidedly in my last letter when I undervalued the botanical department. I would qualify what I then wrote, by observing, that I meant to apply my remark comparatively, with reference to the unequalled botanical re sources of England, and also with reference to the superior collection the Gallery of Natural History. I shall not detain you with ; • detail of the plants in their various arrangements—they are very numerous, and some of the exotics curious; but this part of the institution did not appear to be in the best order. Opposite- the fine iron rail. ing, on the side of the river, by which you enter, stands the Gallery I have just mentioned—a plain building, but internally, with the exception of one only, the finest in the world, whether we look to the multitude of its contents, or to their value and admirable preservation and arrangement.— The lower range of apartments, into which it is divided, is devoted to the display of the minerals, fish, lizards, serpents, shell-fish, and animal and vegetable fossils—the tipper range to the shells, butterflies, birds, and animals. There is, besides, a library, though not a very extensive one, in which there is a good statue of BUFFON by PAJOU, with thp irdinwinfr inert i'nfinn /mile pedestal :-- " Majestati nature par ingeuiunt!' This assemblage of the xvonders and the kauties of Nature is4elight ful and interesting. Many ofthe mi nerals arc of surpassing merit, and the whole Ca binet exquisitely and classically exhibited. The Nitimat portion of it are in the finest order, and Mr. lit.n.r.oe - hitnself has not shewn more taste , and skill in his best efforts than are here very ge nerally obvious, It is - a noble school for the Stu— dent, to whom it is open every day, while the Public arc only admitted on Tuesdiiis and Fridays, from 3 to 5 o'clock. From this Gallery I went to the Theatre of Comparative Anatomy, at 'the distance of a few hundred yards. Here, though after the stated hours of admission, I was, as a stranger, allowed to enter; and I cannot too often take an opportu nity of recording and praising French politeness in this respect. Their attention to Foreigners, who arc anxious to examine their public places, is as remarkable for untiring civility, as for being disin terested—money is seldom taken. Would 1 bad it. in my power to say as much for another country I could very readily name ! This Theatre contains a fair specimen of human and animal anatomy, some singular lust's naturx, and one or two remarkable skeletons. After passing these in review, I so journed to the Swiss Valley, in another part of the Jardin, and spent an hour or two in looking at the wild and tame beasts in their several habita t ions and menageries. These are ingeniously and picturesquely disposed of. Curious goats, deer, zebras, sheep, &c. &c. in perms of a des cription congenial to their native scenes and habits. Uncommon birds (both aquatic and of other kinds) . put into quarters equally agree aisle to their natures. In another part, in im mense square dens, twelve or fourteen feet deep, and about thirty in breadth, are different species of bears, Which seem quite at home in their mode of living. Elsewhere is the general menagerie, where monkeys of many tribes, some tine lions, panthers, wo l ves, hyennas, &c. in and ti,l - crr, • t - csges,are submitted for he gratification of popular curiosity.

FRENCH PAPERS. MADRID, AUG. 18.—Letters from Gallicia men tion the departure of several detachments of French prisoners'of war, who are returning , to their own country. They have been well treated in that province. Several of them wished to re main in this country, others express their deter mination of returning. In this corner of Spain, it may be truly said the war Witq'France is finished. It is in Arragon, alone that the rociamation of M. Pallafox has been published ,at Abe ,com . mencement of this month. We do - not i helieve . . that the Captain-General of Catalonia professes the same sentiments or will adopt the same ntea 7 sures. The agitation which subsivs in theminds of the .people of that province arises from other. causes, unconnected with France. Tu e Marquis de Campo Sagrado, whom the King has appointed! . to the Government of Catalonia, is an Officer of character and talent. Among the crowd of mili tary and political events which have occurred _of late years, some persons have acquired high reputa-; tion, whose titles will not bear the test of a strict examination- Much has been . said . of the glory acquired by the Spaniards 'at the siege of Sara gossa,,..but, after the influence of our. Lady of Filar, whose image animated the courage of the inhabitants, it would be unjust' not to atribute a part of the defence to the valour and activity of M. St. Mark, an Officer of French or Flemish origin, who exposed himself to -every danger, while certain Officers wished to appropriate all the glory to themselves. The last news from America state, that our troops had experienced a check on the plains of Carabobo, in the province of Venezuela. ,There is some reason to apprehend that M. C. Cevallos, a General of great distinction, is dead, His Excellency the Prince of Castel Franco, formerly Colonel of the Walloon Guards, wh o , after having assisted at the Junta at riaymmu, afterwards entered the service of Joseph, has been restored to his honours and dignities. His High ness found no difficulty in putting a long period of faithful and honourable services in the balance against a moment of hesitation, under circn►n stances the most trying in which a subject - could be placed. This new proOf cit generosity on the part of his Majesty, who has restored to hiS good graces the old Colonel of the Walloini‘Guards., a body so faithful to the Bourbons Since the time of Phillip the sth, affords us the hope, that the same indulgence will be extended'tO other victims of the Revolution. hit reported that a modification ; will, e made in the Decree of the 30th of May, on the . al-I)l46a tion of a Great Sovereign, whnse eapiple; n his return to bis States, is worthy of imitation, both for the tumour of the Throne anti of true phi- losophy. I'ARTS, AUG.3I.—TIC King walked to-clay upoi the-Boulevards. On the day of the ate, his Majesty, passing through the ball-room, was surrounded by the 25 Ladies who were selected to do the honours of the fete. The King felt tears drop upon his hands, and giving way to the emotion thus ex cited, be embraced the Baroness of Chabrol ; then turning to the other Ladies, l'am sorry, La dies," said he, that the crowd' prevents me from embracing you all." When the King had seated himself on the throne in the Hotel de Ville, he was addressed, in an excellent speech, by the Prefect, who advanced at the head of the Municipal Body, and whose discourse was followed by' general cries or Lire the King! Live the Royal Mundy! His Majesty's reply was very feelingly delivered in the following terms :-- " I am much affected by the sentiments which you express towards me; and by those testimo nies of regard which I receive from the people in passing through my good City of I - have experienced the greatest eagerness to be re-united to my great Family, but 1 couliis.aredy,:e),pe-ct to he thus surrounded—(pointing, In a, in - miner the most noble and touching, to the Princes around him) : they have been my consolation iR -my afivercity, and thiA day they incre:oe my 1)N1.- plum. They have giren me proofs that they parral-e o-f all my iiitentioni for your felicity; I May therefore close my eyes in pea - cc for my eter nal sleep., since I am sure that those who succeed me will be ;he inheritors of all my desires for the welfare of France." Another amiable trait of this Monarch is also recorded. The portrait of Henry IV. near the throne, was the first object which presented itself to his eyes ; he gazed at if; and turning to the Prefect of the Seine, said, " 1 shall indeed be very happy, if my subjects can believe that I have taken the good King whoselineaments are here traced for my Model." These - words, so well calculated to produce a strong impression on the minds of Frenchmen, were rapidly repeated fro►►► mouth to mouth, till the whole Assembly rung with patriotic enthusiasm, and ani►nated loyalty. Madame Chabrol delivered an Address to the Duchess of Angottleme, to which her Royal High ness replied in the sweetest manner. A beautiful Ode, composed for the• -occasion, was performed• with great effect. The Ball was opened by the Duke of Berri and Madame Chabrol. CHANIBEIL OF DEPUTIES —Surrl\G or 'rut 307 a. Dumolaid opened his Proj4t respecting the nomination, &c. of the Judges, so as tci secure their independence and irreniavalillity: He in- sista, with great force, on the obsolete necessity for adopting this measure, without which there was no security against despotism and ar bitrary power, under whatever form , a Go vernment existed. • Under the Consulate this law bad been passed ; but When Buonaparte was metamorphosed, by a Sdlitittll Consultum, from a Consul into an Emperor; he - suspended it for five years. This was at least five years of tyranny. He took a view of the requisite ptrrity'of tribunals, and sheaved that ,the appointment of the Judges for life was the only means of, securing this inestitnable blessing. The independence of the Judges was promised by the Constitutional -Charter—in that alone reoed the , secret that the King might be great and the People free—Has ten (said the speaker, in conclusion,) to make this appeal, which I propose, to the heart and understanding of the King, and posterity will add to the title of Louis le Desiree, those of Louis le Juste—Louis le Sage ! After some remarks from M. Laborde, the speech of M. num°lard was ordered to be print ed,, and his motion to be taken into conside- ration. The order of the day for the further discussion of the Budget was then read, and a long debate ensued, of no interest ,to Readers out of France. It was adjourned till to-morrow '(the 31st.) • A letter from constantinople, of Wie.2sth July, informs us, that the often-attempted Measure of the Governor of Turkey; to establish a regular military force on the European systent of discipline and tactics, has at length been successfully carried into effect by the Sultan. Fifty volunteers have been invited from &pry troop of- 195 men to enter into this new species of engagement; and from the inducements held out to them, this voluntary enrol., ment Was speedily Completed, and will, as'is justly observed, tend greatly to the tranquility of theEinf pire, and-the security .of .successois to the Throne,'' as well as give a favourable . impulse to the military system of Turkey. , The :Captain Pacha,..,, , who will return imme •diataly 'from his Expedition againit Satalia, has, - . by order of the Oraml Seignior,' beheaded the Pacha of Teklto, whose head has been exposed for three days on the 'gate of the Seraglio. Last week the bead of the Rebel Bay of Beylan (wp?, _has solong rendered 'the neighbourhood of : Alex andria . a resort far banditti) was also exposi'd.— - The Governor of Aleppo is engaged in restiiii4 the repose of Syria. The state of health continues the same in this capital. An anecdote is in circulation, which will not excite any astonishment when told of a de scendant of Henry IV. and which seems natu rally to, belong to the history of that Prince, if the event had not occurred yesterday. The City sent, on the morning of the Pete, to know whether his Majesty would choose to have his table furnished by his own cooks, according to the practice established by Buonaparte. To this question the King replied, laughing—". Tell the Municipal Body, that when I dine out, I do not trouble myself about my dinner; and that I.shall take nothing into the City with me but a good- appetite." . The following note is extracted from a German Paper :- " Until this time the precise force of the French at the battle of Leipsic was not known. It was generally supposed to amount to 180 or 190,000 men. But it appears, in the Dispatches inter cepted in the beginning of October, and which have been published, that its amount was as follows : Old Guard, 4000 ; Young Guard, 24,000 ; .Ca valry of the Guard, 6000 ; Ist Corps of the Army, commanded at first by General Vandamme, end httrtta4s Oathll Loh' 3 66 . 6; 3 ^1 ,1 " under Marshal Victor, 18,000' the under Marshal Ney, 22,000 0161; fit) rile" 1; Carps, under General Bertran d, 14 ' Cv the -sth Corps, under Generel ;- , 10 - ',OOO then ; the .- , 20;000 men; the 7th, u , C n i i. ° l o e r , r P o s .l o i o e e rr ' . .: 1 ; 1 ° 0 : 1 !:':' . : ( 8 1( t ) 1 1 1 a C h o i r , ps 1 , 4, I: 0 0 0 n o i o 1001, oodioot, ), • the 13th,.St .
